Deduction of Union Membership Dues. The employer agrees to deduct the union membership dues from the pay of all workers who are members of the union. The amount to be deducted shall be certified to the employer by the treasurer of the union. The aggregate deductions of all unit members shall be remitted to the union within seven (7) working days, together with a written statement of names of the unit member for whom deductions were made. The statement of names shall be coded in a mutually agreed upon manner to indicate new hires, leave status and terminations. This authorization will remain in effect and shall be irrevocable unless the unit member revokes it by sending written notice to The Local during the period not less than thirty (30) days and not more than forty five (45) days before 1) the annual anniversary date of this agreement or 2) the date of termination of the applicable contract between the employer and The Local, whichever occurs sooner. This authorization shall be automatically renewed as an irrevocable check-off from year to year unless the unit member revokes it in writing during the window period, irrespective of membership in The Local. Union dues may not be deductible for federal income tax purposes; however, under limited circumstances dues may qualify as a business expense.
