Common use of THE NEW OR REHIRED EMPLOYEE Clause in Contracts

THE NEW OR REHIRED EMPLOYEE. You are hereby informed that Union membership is a condition of employment and that maintaining good standing in the union requires payment of Union dues, initiation fees and assessments as authorized by the Union. Articles of the Agreement between the United Food & Commercial Workers Union, Local 832, and PepsiCo Beverages Canada contain the following statements: “All present employees who are members of the Union shall maintain that membership in good standing as a condition of employment. All persons who may hereafter become employees shall immediately upon being hired become and remain members in good standing of the Union as a condition of employment.” “Upon receipt of a duly signed application for membership, the Union shall grant membership in the Union to an employee applying for same. Any employee granted membership in the Union shall be deemed to maintain membership in good standing provided they pay, in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement, the regularly prescribed initiation fee and regular monthly dues uniformly required of all members of the Union. In this regard the Company shall not be required to discharge or discipline any employee on any ground other than for non-payment of the initiation fee, or periodic dues uniformly required of all members of the Union as a condition of acquiring or retaining membership in the Union.”
