Union Security <br /> 2.1 Dues Deduction <br /> Upon receipt of a written assignment and authorization <br /> signed by the employee on the form shown below, the <br /> City agrees to deduct from an employee's paycheck an <br /> amount which will total the dues uniformly required for <br /> membership in the Union. The amount so deducted shall <br /> be remitted by the City to the ,officer designated in <br /> writing by the President of the Union as the person <br /> authorized to receive such funds. <br /> The President of the Union shall notify the City Manager <br /> in writing as to the amount of such dues uniformly required <br /> of all members of the Union. <br /> The employee' s earnings must be regularly sufficient after <br /> other legal and required deductions are made to cover the <br /> amount of the dues checkoff authorized. When an employee <br /> is in a non-pay status for an entire pay period, no with- <br /> holding will be made to cover that pay period from future <br /> earnings. In the case of an employee who is in a. non-pay <br /> status during only part of the pay period, and the salary <br /> is not sufficient to cover the full withholding, no <br /> deduction shall be made. In this connection, all other <br /> legal and required deductions have priority over union <br /> dues. In addition, in order to meet certain accounting <br /> deadlines, all payroll changes connected with the <br /> deduction of said union dues must be made by the fif- <br /> teenth (15th) of the preceding month. <br /> The Union and the International Association of Fire <br /> Fighters, AFL-CIO-CLC, shall indemnify, defend, and hold <br /> the City harmless against any and all claims, demands, <br /> suits, proceedings or court orders, or any other liability <br /> that may arise out of or by reason of action taken or not <br /> taken by the City for the purpose of complying with any of <br /> the provisions of this check-off agreement. In addition, <br /> the Union shall refund to the City any amounts paid to <br /> it in error upon presentation of supporting evidence. <br /> -2- <br />
