Union Dues Check-off

A. TUGSA will provide a copy of its membership card/dues authorization form to the University, which form will expressly state the rate of union membership dues that are to be deducted by the University on behalf of TUGSA.

B. Upon receipt of a written authorization from any employee Temple shall pursuant to such authorization deduct from the wages due said employee each month and remit to the Union regular dues. Authorizations will be effective for salary payment dates beginning fifteen (15) days after receipt by the Human Resources Office and deductions will continue so long as such authorization remains in effect.

C. Within fifteen days after the close of any payroll period, Temple shall forward to TUGSA (1) the dues deducted in the last payroll period and (2) a list showing the names of the bargaining unit members who authorized such deductions and the amounts deducted. TUGSA and Temple agree to cooperate in resolving any discrepancies in dues deductions.

D. TUGSA shall defend, indemnify and hold harmless Temple and its employees from any and all liability, claims, costs and expenses (including attorney's fees) arising from compliance with this Article or in reliance on any authorization furnished under this Article.

E. Temple shall implement any changes in the certified deduction amount within 30 days.

F. Temple shall not be obliged to make deductions of any kind from any employee who, during any month involved shall have failed to receive sufficient wages to equal the deductions.

G. Should a dues-paying member of the union drop out of the bargaining unit due to (but not limited to) incapacitation, or reduction in department funding, and then be re-hired within an academic year, then that employee shall be automatically re-instated as a dues-paying member of the union, with deductions resuming commensurate with the issuing of the employee’s first paycheck after the re-hire.
