Such employees shall pay an amount of money equal to the periodic dues and fees uniformly required under Section 1 of this Article. Failure to satisfy this alternative payment shall result in discharge from employment, pursuant to Section 2.3 of this Article. The Employer shall not be financially liable for any failure of the affected employee or the Union to remit payments to the nonreligious charity.
