Dues Revocation. 7.1 Union members who have authorized Union dues withholding may revoke their payroll deduction of dues once a year on the anniversary date of the first withholding by submitting Standard Form 1188 to HQ USMEPCOM Civilian Personnel Division. 7.2 Members wishing to revoke their payroll deduction must submit an SF 1188, “Cancellation of Payroll Deductions for Labor Union Dues” to the appropriate Union official. The Union will procure the forms as needed and will make them available to the Union members, upon request. 7.3 Upon receipt of the properly completed SF 1188, the Union representative must certify by date and signature or other date stamping device the date the SF 1188 is given to the Union representative. In order to be timely, the SF 1188 must be submitted to the Union between the anniversary date of the effective date of the dues withholding and ten (10) work days prior to the anniversary date. The Union official will, by reference to the Union Dues Deduction Report, determine the anniversary date of the allotment. The ending date of the pay period in which the anniversary date appears will be entered in Item (6) on the SF 1188 and initialed by the Union official. The SF 1188 will be delivered to the payroll office prior to the close of business of the Friday following the date entered in Item (6). 7.4 Notwithstanding Section 7.1 of this Article, deduction of dues with respect to an employee will terminate with the start of the first payroll period after which any of the following occurs: 7.4.1 Loss of exclusive recognition by the Union; 7.4.2 Separation of the employee for any reason; 7.4.3 Notice to USMEPCOM from the Union that the employee has been suspended or expelled from the membership of the Union; 7.4.4 Transfer, reassignment, or promotion or demotion of an eligible member to a position excluded from the Union’s recognition; or 7.4.5 Activation of an employee into active duty military status. 7.5 If USMEPCOM’s removal of any employee from dues withholding either (1) is not in compliance with the provisions of this Article; or (2) is based on a belief that the employee’s position is outside the bargaining unit, and the Federal Labor Relations Authority determines that USMEPCOM acted improperly; then USMEPCOM will promptly reinstate the employee’s dues withholding authorization and make the Union whole for lost income.
