Contribution and Deduction Due Dates. Except as provided in Section 6.8 for an Employer who is unable to obtain a bond or letter of credit, all contributions and deductions provided for in this Agreement are due the first (1st) day of the month following the month for which they are owed. However, contributions and deductions received by the Plumbers' Local 130 Benefit Funds Data Center, LLC by the fifteenth (15th) day of that month will not be subject to interest and liquidated damage charges (e.g. contributions and deductions for the month of June are due July 1, but can be paid up to July 15 without penalty). An Employer who fails to make such contributions and deductions by the due date therefore, shall pay, in addition to the actual delinquent amounts, interest thereon beginning with the due date at the rate of a minimum of eight percent (8%) per annum or Prime plus three percent (3%) whichever is higher and liquidated damages in the amount of eight percent (8%) on the cumulative outstanding balance due. The delinquent Employer shall also be responsible for any employee's claim for Welfare benefits arising during the period of such delinquency. If discovered that prior contributions or deductions have not been in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, the Employer advised of the discrepancy shall remit the amounts due plus the above described interest and liquidated damages. The provisions for interest, liquidated damages, reimbursement of litigation costs, strikes, picketing and/or other remedies set forth herein and available to the Union and/or Trustees of the various Funds in the event of an Employer's breach of any obligation under this Section 9.8 and Sections 9.1, 9.2, 9.3, 9.4, 9.7, and 9.9 of this Article IX, and Sections 6.4, 6.5, 6.6, and 6.10 of Article VI are cumulative and are not intended to serve and shall not serve as a substitute for or in any way limit any other remedies or relief which also may be available to the Union and/or the Trustees under this Agreement or under any Illinois or federal law. Further, the Union's failure to exercise its rights to withdraw its members from the employ of, to picket, strike or take other lawful economic action against any Employer who violates this Section 9.8 or Sections 9.1, 9.2, 9.3, 9.4, 9.7 and 9.9 of this Article IX or Sections 6.4, 6.5, 6.6, and 6.10 of Article VI, shall not be deemed a waiver on the part of the Union to exercise such right or award such remedy, respectively, in the case of any such subsequent violations by the same Employer or another Employer. Upon five (5) days written notice by Certified Mail the Union shall have the right to withdraw its members from the employ of, to picket and/or to take other lawful action against any Employer who fails to make the required benefit contributions and/or deductions as required by this Agreement. Any employee who loses time from work because of the failure of his Employer to pay said fringe benefit contributions and/or deductions as required by this Agreement, shall be reimbursed by the Employer for up to twenty-four (24) hours wages lost at straight time pay by reason of any strike or other action taken by the Union under this Section. Such withdrawal of employees, picketing and/or other lawful economic action shall not be considered a violation of this Agreement on the part of the Union and shall not be subject to arbitration. In the event an Employer shall default in the payment of any contributions or deductions provided for by the terms of this Agreement, it shall be considered the same as failure to pay wages.
