<br /> <br />B. The City agrees to provide the Union the name, department, job class, and deduction <br />status of all unit employees on a monthly basis. <br /> <br />2.2 Maintenance of Membership <br /> <br />A. Union membership is not a mandatory condition of employment for any employee <br />covered by this agreement. However, any employee covered by this agreement who is a <br />Union member, or becomes a Union member, shall continue to pay to the Union those <br />dues or fees regularly charged members of the Union in good standing for the life of this <br />agreement. <br /> <br />B. Every employee who is a member of the Union shall have the right to withdraw from <br />membership during the last twenty (20) days of this Agreement. An employee who has <br />properly withdrawn membership as provided herein shall not be subject to the provisions <br />of section B.1. <br /> <br />2.3 Service Fee <br /> <br />A. Deductions <br /> <br />Pursuant to State law, Unit employees have by secret ballot, voted to implement Agency <br />Shop. <br /> <br />All employees in the unit who have not authorized an Union dues deduction shall within <br />the thirty (30) day period following notification of their obligation under this agreement <br />execute an authorization for the payroll deduction of one of the following: (1) Union dues; <br />(2) an agency fee in an amount not to exceed the standard initiation fee, periodic dues, and <br />general assessments of the organization; or (3) if he/she qualifies, a charity fee equal to <br />the agency fee to a tax-exempt charitable organization that has been agreed to. <br /> <br />To qualify for the designated charity fee deduction, an employee must certify to the Union <br />that he/she is a member of a bona fide religion, body or sect which has historically held <br />conscientious objections to joining or financially supporting public employee <br />organizations. <br /> <br />Such exempt unit employees will be required to submit to the Union a notarized letter <br />certifying that person’s membership in such a religion, body or sect, signed by an official <br />of the bona fide religion, body or sect. <br /> <br />If an employee fails to authorize one of the deductions, the City will deduct the agency fee <br />amount from the employee’s paycheck. <br /> <br />B. Forfeiture of Deductions <br /> <br />If the balance of an employee’s wages, after all other involuntary and insurance premium <br />deductions are made in any one pay period, is not sufficient to pay deductions by this <br />article, no such deductions shall be made for that period. <br /> <br />2
