7 <br /> <br />ARTICLE 4 - UNION SECURITY <br />Section 1. Within thirty (30) days of hire or transfer into the bargaining unit, each employee shall attend a one- <br />hour orientation session with a designated Union representative. The purpose of the orientation is for the Union to <br />provide information related to coverage under this CBA and enrollment in Union membership. The City and the <br />Union agree that employees covered under this Agreement hired on or after its effective date shall, on the thirty- <br />first (31st) day following the beginning of such employment, make an election whether or not to become a <br />member of the Union in good standing. Employees desiring to become a member of the Union shall advise the <br />City with an “opt/in” letter provided by the Union that authorizes the withholding of regular Union dues. <br />Employees desiring not to become and/or remain a member of the Union shall advise the City with an “opt/out” <br />letter provided by the Union. <br /> <br />Section 2. Upon written authorization from an employee within the bargaining unity, the employer shall deduct <br />from the pay of such employee the monthly amount of dues as certified by the secretary of the Union and shall <br />transit the same to treasurer of the Union. Any employee who has submitted written authorization but thereafter <br />seeks to discontinue such payment may do so effective by the next pay period. <br /> <br />Section 3. The City will provide a monthly written report to the Union transmitted with transfer of deducted dues <br />owed to the Union (“the transferred amount”). Such report shall indicate: 1) all individuals who had dues withheld <br />as part of the transferred amount, and the amount withheld and transmitted on behalf of that individual; 2) a list of <br />all employees who did not have dues withheld as part of the transferred amount; 3) a list of all employees <br />commencing employment since the preceding report; and 4) all employees in the preceding month who requested <br />discontinuance of payroll deduction of dues. <br />Section 4. The parties recognize that the Union may impose service charges to the extent permitted by law upon <br />nonmembers. <br />
