Section 1. Recognition <br /> Local 1974, International Association of Fire Fighters, <br /> AFL - CIO -CLC, hereinafter referred to as the "Union," is <br /> the formally recognized employee organization for the Fire <br /> Employees Unit comprised of the classifications of <br /> Firefighter, Fire Engineer, Fire Lieutenant, and Fire <br /> Captain, certified pursuant to the Employer - Employee <br /> Relations Procedures & Resolution No. 71 -75, adopted by <br /> the City of Pleasanton City Council on April 5, 1971. <br /> Section 2. 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 City <br /> agrees to deduct from an employee's paycheck an amount <br /> which will total the dues uniformly required for <br /> membership in the Union. The amount so deducted shall be <br /> remitted by the City to the officer designated in writing <br /> by the President of the Union as the person authorized to <br /> 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 <br /> required 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 <br /> withholding will be made to cover that pay period from <br /> future earnings. In the case of an employee who is in a <br /> non -pay status during only part of the pay period, and the <br /> salary 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 fifteenth <br /> (15) 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 it <br /> in error upon presentation of supporting evidence. <br /> - 4 - <br />
