Electronic copies of the lists will be provided with specifications as per attached memorandum. The Employer also agrees to deduct once annually the amount of any special general assessment made by the Union. The Union shall notify the Employer, in writing, of the amount of the assessment at least one (1) month in advance of the end of the pay period in which the deductions are to be made. The Employer agrees to provide each newly hired nurse with a Union Membership Form at the time of hiring. A nurse who chooses to complete the Union Membership Form shall forward the completed Union Membership Form to the Local President. 502 The Employer agrees to deduct union dues and the amount of any special general assessment in arrears upon receiving written authorization from the Union, and the Union agrees that all nurses to which the foregoing applies shall be given advance notice of the requested adjustment; and the Union further agrees to make refunds to nurses in the event of an overdeduction of dues. 503 When a nurse makes known to the Employer or the Union that she/he is a member of a religious group which has as one of its articles of faith the belief that members of the group are precluded from being members of or financially supporting any union or professional association, the matter shall be dealt with in accordance with section 76(3) of the Labour Relations Act of Manitoba. 504 The Union shall notify the Employer in writing of any change in the amount of dues at least one (1) month in advance of the end of the pay period in which the deductions are to be made; however, such change shall not be made more frequently than once in a twelve (12) month period. 505 The Union shall save the Employer harmless from any claims from nurses covered by this Agreement as a result of dues or special general assessments having been collected in accordance with the terms of this Article.
