PAC Check Off. The Company agrees that it will check-off and transmit to the Treasurer of the United Steelworkers Political Action Committee (USW PAC) voluntary contributions to the USW PAC from the earnings of those employees who voluntarily authorize such contributions on forms provided for that purpose by the USW PAC. The amount and timing of such check-off deductions and the transmittal of such voluntary contributions shall be specified in such forms and in conformance with any applicable state or federal statute. The signing of such USW PAC check-off forms and the making of such voluntary contributions are not the conditions of membership in the Union or of employment with the Company. The parties acknowledge that the costs of implementing and administering the USW PAC Check-off Program would be an obligation of the Union and that the estimated costs of such implementation and administration of the program have been incorporated by the Company in its valuation of collective bargaining negotiation settlements. USW PAC supports various candidates for federal and other elective offices connected with the USW, a labor organization, and solicits and accepts only voluntary contributions, which are deposited in an account separate and segregated from the dues fund of the Union, in its own fundraising effort and in joint fundraising efforts with the AFL-CIO and its Committee on Political Education.
