3 <br /> ARTICLE 3 - EXCLUSIVE BARGAINING REPRESENTATIVE <br /> The Employer agrees to recognize the Union as the exclusive bargaining representative for all <br /> persons in the job classifications listed in Article 6. <br /> All new employees listed in Article 6 who begin employment with the City shall have the option <br /> to become members of the Union within thirty-one (31)days of hire date. <br /> Upon Union's notification by the City of a new hire, the Union official shall, at no loss of pay, be <br /> granted up to thirty minutes to provide each new employee a basic overview of the employees' <br /> rights and responsibilities regarding Union membership, dues authorizations, and Union <br /> insurance. <br /> The City upon receipt of said form will deduct each month Union dues and assessments from <br /> the employee's wages in the manner prescribed by law. The amount so deducted shall be <br /> mailed each month to the Union. <br /> The City shall honor the terms and conditions of each employee's authorization for payroll <br /> deduction. Whether an employee is a union member or not, the City shall continue to deduct <br /> and remit Union dues and fees to the Union until such time as the Union notifies the City that <br /> the dues authorization has been properly terminated in compliance with the terms of the payroll <br /> deduction authorization executed by the employee. <br /> The Union shall indemnify the City and hold it harmless against any and all claims, demands, <br /> suits or other forms of liability that may arise out of, or by reason of, any action taken by the City <br /> for the purpose of complying with provisions of this Article. The City and the Union agree that <br /> this Article will be interpreted consistent with State and federal law. <br /> • <br /> 10 <br />
