Common use of Legal Trust Fund Clause in Contracts

Legal Trust Fund. In addition to the wage or salary paid under Article 21, the employer agrees to pay the Alaska state Employee's Association Legal Trust Fund four dollars ($4.00) per bargaining unit member in pay status in the pay period for which the contribution is made. The payments are due within ten (10) working days after payroll run date. The Fund shall be sponsored and administered by the union. The employer shall have no voice in the amount or type of service provided by this plan; however, services provided by the Fund shall not be used in actions involving, or in a position adverse to the state of Alaska. The Fund shall attempt to obtain the maximum service possible for the bargaining unit member. This Article confers only the right to demand and enforce payment of the required contributions. Failure to remit the required contribution does not give rise to any grievance or cause of action by the union, its members, or any other person for other harm or damages that might result. The provision or retention of legal assistance under this Article is the sole and exclusive responsibility of the union and/or the member. Unless such actions are taken to demand and enforce payment by the state of the required contributions, the union agrees to defend, indemnify and hold harmless the state against any and all legal actions, orders, judgments or other decisions rendered in any proceeding as a result of the implementation of this Article. 1 The Temporary Agreement language was not implemented in the 2004-2007 Letter of Agreement for this Article. This is the current language of the 2003-2004 Agreement. 39
