Common use of Union Membership and Service Fees Clause in Contracts

Union Membership and Service Fees. As a condition of employment, employees who are covered under this Agreement shall, beginning within thirty (30) days of employment or beginning within thirty (30) days of the effective date of this Agreement (whichever is later), either (a) execute a Union membership and payroll deduction form in order to have the appropriate fee deducted from their payroll checks; or (b) if the ASE chooses not to be a member, the ASE shall, in satisfaction of this requirement, execute a payroll deduction form to pay a service fee to the Union; or, (c) in the case of those who are Union members and do not have a payroll deduction authorization in effect, timely pay their Union dues and initiation fees directly to the Union each month, or, in the case of those who are not Union members and do not have a payroll deduction authorization in effect, timely pay their service fee directly to the Union each month, with payments due in either case by the last day of such month. The UAW will provide the University with the formula for calculating the dues, initiation fees, and service fees. The amount of the service fee shall be as determined by the Union, but shall be no more than the dues charged for Union membership. The parties will comply with the requirements of state law (RCW 41.56.122) for any employee with a bona fide religious objection to paying dues or fees to the Union.
