6 ARTICLE 4 - UNION MEMBERSHIP Section 1. Upon written authorization of the employee, the City agrees to deduct from the paycheck of each employee the regular monthly dues uniformly required of members of the Union. The amounts deducted shall be transmitted monthly to the WSCCCE on behalf of the employees with a list of the employees’ names, salaries and individual amounts deducted. For current Union members and those who choose to join the Union, the Employer shall continue to do so for such time and on conditions set forth in the authorization for payroll deduction. Authorizations for Payroll Deduction are valid whether executed in writing or electronically. Section 2. All employees hired on a non-regular basis including, but not limited to day laborers and temporary employees, shall not be required to join the Union. Provided however, pursuant to Article 17, Section 1, the Union may require the employee to purchase a work permit for the length of employment. It is understood and agreed between the parties that said work permit shall not entitle the employee to any rights under this Agreement, except those rights specifically enumerated herein. Section 3. City shall maintain their copies of Authorization for Payroll Deduction and Representation in a secure location that is available to the Union. The City shall provide an electronic copy of the Authorization for Payroll Deduction and Representation via email to C2everett@council2.com upon request. The City shall provide to the Union monthly a complete list of all bargaining unit members that includes: Employee name, work address, home address, work phone, personal phone, work email, personal email, birth date, hire date in current bargaining unit, job classification, department, hours worked and monthly base wage. The City shall honor the terms and conditions of each employee’s authorization for payroll deduction. Whether an employee is a union member or not, the City shall continue to deduct and remit Union dues and fees to the Union until such time as the Union notifies the City that the dues authorization has been properly terminated in compliance with the terms of the payroll deduction authorization executed by the employee. Section 4. The City agrees to deduct from the wages of any Union member a P.E.O.P.L.E. (Public Employees Organized to Promote Legislative Equality) deduction as provided for in a written or electronically executed authorization. An executed authorization may be revoked by the employee at any time by giving written notice to both the City and the Union. The City agrees to remit any deductions made pursuant to this provision promptly to the Union together with an itemized statement showing the name of each employee from whose pay such deductions have been made and the amount deducted during the period covered by the remittance. The City will transfer amounts deducted to the P.E.O.P.L.E program. Section 5. The City agrees to notify the Union bi-weekly of any new hire or permanent change to appointive positions of members within the bargaining unit and any person hired as a day laborer. The City agrees to notify the Union staff representative and Local Union President in writing of any new positions and new employees. Prior to the benefits orientation of the new employee, City shall provide an electronic format list with the names of the employees, corresponding job title, and Department. A Union official, or designee, shall, at no loss of pay, be granted up to thirty minutes to provide each new employee a basic overview of the employees’ rights and responsibilities regarding Union membership, dues authorizations, and Union insurance.
