3 3 <br /> <br />ARTICLE 3 - EXCLUSIVE BARGAINING REPRESENTATIVE <br /> <br /> <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 /> <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 /> <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 /> <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 /> <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 /> <br /> <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 />
