Voluntary Dues Sample Clauses
The Voluntary Dues clause establishes that payments or contributions made under the agreement are optional rather than mandatory. In practice, this means that members or participants can choose whether or not to pay dues, and there is no penalty or loss of rights for opting out. This clause is often used in organizations or associations to encourage support without imposing financial obligations, thereby fostering goodwill and participation while respecting individual choice.
Voluntary Dues. Nothing in the Agreement will require an employee to become or remain a member of a labor organization or to pay money to the organization except pursuant to a voluntary written authorization by members for payment of dues through payroll deduction or by voluntary cash dues payment by a member.
Voluntary Dues. A. Any employee of the Board may voluntarily become a member of the Union and pay the membership dues and initiation fees uniformly required as a condition of acquiring or retaining a membership in the Union. These dues shall not be paid by the employer.
B. The Union agrees to hold the Board harmless from any and all form of liability which may arise out of the implementation of this Article.
Voluntary Dues. Each bargaining unit member may either join the Association or in lieu thereof, shall pay a voluntary contribution to the Association equivalent to the amount uniformly required of members of the Association, including local, state, and national dues for the cost of negotiating, administering and maintaining the Agreement. The amount of said fee shall be determined by the Association and certified by the Board. In the event of any legal action against the District brought in a court or administrative agency because of its compliance with this Article, the Association agrees to defend such action, at its own expense and through its own counsel, provided:
1. The District gives timely written notice of such action to the Association, and permits the Association intervention as a party if it so desires, and;
2. The District gives full and complete cooperation to the Association and its counsel in securing and giving evidence, obtaining witnesses and making relevant information available to both trial and all appellate levels. The Association agrees that in any action so defended, it will indemnify and hold harmless the District from any liability for damages and costs imposed by a final judgment of a court or administrative agency as a direct consequence of compliance by the District with this article.
