Common use of DEDUCTION OF MEMBERSHIP DUES Clause in Contracts

DEDUCTION OF MEMBERSHIP DUES. Section 1. The City agrees to deduct the regular monthly membership dues and COPE checkoff (minimum $1.00 monthly) of the Transit Union from the pay of the Transit Union members on the first pay period of each month and remit same to the Financial Secretary of the Transit Union within ten (10) days after the date of their deduction, provided such members individually and voluntarily authorize and request the City in writing to make such deductions. Such authorization and request shall also authorize the City to base the deductions on a list to be furnished to it each month by the Financial Secretary of the Transit Union showing the names of the members and the amounts of the regular monthly membership dues to be deducted from the pay of each member. Such authorization may be revoked by the employee at any time by giving written notice thereof to the City. Whenever such list indicates that the amount of the membership dues has been changed, it shall be accompanied by a certificate of the Financial Secretary of the Transit Union that such change in the amount of membership dues has been brought about in accordance with the Constitution and By-Laws of the Transit Union. Section 2. The individual authorizations for the deduction of regular monthly membership dues shall be worded as follows: Section 3. Previously signed and unrevoked written authorizations shall continue to be effective as to employees reinstated following layoff, leave of absence, or suspension not exceeding sixty (60) days; previous authorization of other employees rehired or reinstated shall not be considered to be effective. Section 4. If the City receives an employee revocation of authorization no later than two weeks prior to the first payday of each month, no deduction will be made from the payroll period or subsequent payroll periods. Revocations received too late for this handling will then only effect subsequent payroll periods. Section 5. The City agrees to provide this service without charge to the Transit Union. Section 6. The City shall not be liable for the remittance payment of any sums other than those constituting actual deductions made; and if for any reason the City fails to make a deduction for any employee whose authorization has been received no later than two (2) weeks prior to the payday in which such dues are normally deducted, the City shall make that deduction from the employee's next pay period in which Transit Union dues are normally deducted, after written notification by the Transit Union to the City of its error. If the City makes an overpayment to the Transit Union, the City will deduct that amount from the next remittance to the Transit Union. If the City inadvertently makes a deduction from an employee who has not authorized said deduction or who has revoked said authorization in accordance with Section 4 of this Article, the Transit Union agrees to refund said deduction to the affected employees. The Transit Union further agrees to indemnify and hold the City harmless against any and all claims, suits, orders or judgments brought or issued against the City as a result of any action taken or not taken by the City under the provisions of this Article.
