<br />ARTICLE 3 <br /> <br />DUES DEDUCTIONS <br /> <br />3.1. Any member of the Union, who has submitted a properly executed dues deduction card or <br />statement to the City in accordance with a format prescribed or approved by the City, may, by <br />request in writing, have his membership dues, initiation fees, and uniform assessments in the Union <br />deducted from his wages on a bi-weekly basis. Dues, assessments, and initiation fees so deducted <br />from each employee's salary shall be forwarded by the City to the Union. However, the City shall <br />have no responsibility for any liability for any monies once sent to the Union, nor shall the City have <br />any responsibility or a liability for the improper deduction of dues. The Union shall indemnifY the <br />City and hold it harmless against any and all suits, claims, demands, and liabilities which arise out of <br />or by reason of any action taken or not taken by the City to comply or attempt to comply with the <br />provisions of this Article. <br /> <br />3.2. It shall be the responsibility of the Union to notifY the City of any change in the amount of <br />dues to be deducted at least thirty (30) days in advance of said change. Under no circumstances shall <br />the City be required to deduct Union fines, penalties, political action payments, or special <br />assessments of any kind. <br /> <br />3.3. Any member of the Union may, on thirty (30) days written notice to the City, require that the <br />City cease making deductions from his or her wages. <br /> <br />3.4. The Union agrees that a reasonable charge for having its dues, initiation fees, and uniform <br />assessments deducted by the City is twenty-five cents ($.25) per new employee enrollment. Said <br />charges shall be deducted from the amounts forwarded by the City to the Union. <br /> <br />-4- <br />
