Representation Fee Deductions. An employee may choose to pay a voluntary representation fee to the Union in an amount not to exceed regular biweekly dues uniformly assessed against all members of the Union, representing only the employee's proportionate share of the Union's costs germane to collective bargaining, contract administration, grievance administration, and any other cost necessarily or reasonably incurred for the purpose of performing the duties of an exclusive representative of the employees in dealing with the employer on labor-management issues. Such voluntary representation fee payment shall be fulfilled by the employee signing, dating, and submitting to the Employer the "Authorization for Deduction of Representation Fee" form. This section shall not take effect until the Union notifies the Employer in writing of the amount of this voluntary representation fee. Such notification may be made on or after the effective date of this Agreement. Employees recalled from temporary or seasonal layoff or less than 180 days or returning from leave of absence shall resume payroll deduction of representation fees, commencing the first pay period of work.
