Procedure For Processing Fair Share Objections. An employee with any objection to a fair share payment shall initially file their objection by notifying the union President in writing within thirty (30) days after they become aware of the basis for his objection. Any objection properly submitted to the union President shall be promptly heard by the Executive Board of the union which shall review the objection and any pertinent matter submitted by the objector. Within 30 days after receipt of the objection, the Executive Board shall determine whether any reduction in the amount of proportionate fair share payment is to be made and notify the objector in writing. Upon receipt of the decision of the Executive Board, an objecting employee may pursue his objection by filing a complaint with the State Labor Relations Board in accordance with the procedures established by that agency. In the event that appropriate procedures are not available, the employee may appeal the Executive Board's decision to binding arbitration utilizing the same procedure set forth in Section 7.4 of this agreement. In using this procedure, an employee shall operate under the conditions set forth for the Town. In the event that the union determines or an arbitration award directs a reduction in the proportionate fair share payments, the union shall notify the Town to comply with said ruling as to prospective deductions from the salaries of non-members and shall provide necessary rebates to all such proportionate fair share paying non- members.
