DEDUCTION OF ASSOCIATION DUES. A. The Association shall notify the Town in writing of the amount of Association dues and service fees to be deducted from earnings of bargaining unit employees. The Town shall deduct, from the bi-weekly wages of employees, regular Association dues for those employees who sign authorization cards permitting such deduction, and a service fee for those employees who decline to sign such an authorization card. The Town shall remit to the Association monthly the amount of the dues so deducted, provided however no such deduction shall be made from any employee's wages, except when authorized by the employee on an appropriate form, a copy of which must be submitted to the Town. Such authorization shall be for the life of the agreement and shall be continued thereafter if an agreement exists between the Town and the Association. For those employees who do not elect to become members of the Association by signing said authorization and for probationary employees from the date of employment, the Town shall deduct a service fee (not to exceed membership dues). Said service fee is solely for the purpose of administering and negotiating the labor agreement and any individual paying said fee shall have the right to object and the Association shall have the obligation to justify said fee pursuant to the procedures outlined in Appendix B.
