Maintenance in Membership Clause Samples
The "Maintenance in Membership" clause requires employees to maintain their membership in a specified union as a condition of their continued employment. In practice, this means that once an employee joins the union, they must remain a member for the duration of their employment, and failure to do so could result in disciplinary action or termination. This clause is designed to support union solidarity and ensure consistent representation by preventing employees from withdrawing from the union while still benefiting from its negotiated agreements.
Maintenance in Membership. The written authorization for IUOE dues deduction shall remain in full force and effect during the life of this Agreement; provided, however, that any employee may withdraw from IUOE by sending a signed withdrawal letter to IUOE within 30 calendar days prior to the expiration of this Agreement. A withdrawal under this paragraph does not relieve an employee from the Agency Shop provisions.
Maintenance in Membership. 6.4.1 Upon receipt from the Union of an employee’s signed membership or other authorization form, including electronically signed forms which comply with the Uniform Electronic Transactions Act, the City will deduct the appropriate dues or fees from the employee’s pay, as established and as may be changed from time to time by the Union, and remit such dues or fees to the Union. Deductions will continue until the City receives from the Union the employee signed revocation form, including electronically signed forms which comply with the Uniform Electronic Transactions Act. In order to revoke membership, an employee shall mail a written revocation to the Union in accordance with the terms of the authorization form or, absent any such terms, by mailing a written revocation to the Union that is postmarked during the 30- day period immediately prior to the annual anniversary of the date on which the employee signed an authorization form. The Union shall then submit the revocation form to the Office of Employee Relations.
6.4.2 The Union shall indemnify and hold harmless the City, its officers, employees and agents against any and all claims, losses, damages, injuries, expenses, lawsuits, and liabilities that directly or indirectly, in whole or in part, arise out of, pertain to, or relate to the application of or implementation of the provisions of this Article 6.4.
Maintenance in Membership. 6.4.1 Dues deduction, once initiated, shall continue until the authorization is revoked in writing by the employee. An employee may only revoke a dues authorization by delivering the written notice of revocation to the City’s Municipal Employee Relations Officer with a copy to the Union. An employee may resign from such membership only during the thirty (30) calendar days prior to the expiration of this Memorandum of Agreement.
6.4.2 The written revocation notice shall be delivered to the Municipal Employees Relations Officer or his/her designee either in person at the Office of Employee Relations or by regular U.S. Mail, with a copy to the Union.
6.4.3 The Union shall indemnify the City and hold it harmless against any and all suits, claims, demands, and liabilities that may arise out of or by reason of the application of or implementation of the provisions of the Article.
