ARTICLE 30. DUES CHECKOFF
A. During
the life of this Agreement, the Company agrees to deduct from the pay of each
employee covered by this Agreement, and remit to the Air Line Pilots
Association, membership dues and/or service charges uniformly required by the
Air Line Pilots Association, as a condition of acquiring or retaining
membership and in accordance with the provisions of the Railway Labor Act, as
amended, provided such employee voluntarily executes the following agreed upon
form. This form, also to be known as a “Check Off Form”, shall be prepared and
furnished by the Air Line Pilots Association.
B. When
a Pilot covered by this Agreement properly executes such a “Check Off Form”,
the Vice President of Finance for the Air Line Pilots Association shall forward
an original copy to the Director of Human Resources of Emery Worldwide
Airlines. Any “Check Off Form” which is incomplete or improperly executed will
be returned to the Vice President of Finance of the Air Line Pilots
Association. Any notice of revocation as provided for in this Agreement or the
Railway Labor Act, as amended, must be in writing, signed by the Pilot and
delivered by certified mail, addressed to the Director of Human Resources of
Emery Worldwide Airlines with a copy to the Air Line Pilots Association. “Check
Off Forms” and notices received by the Director of Human Resources will be
stamp-dated on the date received and will constitute notice to the Company on
the date received and not when mailed.
C. When
a “Check Off Form” or notice of revocation, as specified herein, is received by
the Director of Human Resources at least five (5) days prior to a scheduled
payday, deductions will commence or cease, respectively, with that payday, and
will continue thereafter until revoked or canceled as provided in the “Check Off
Form.” The Company will remit to the Air Line Pilots Association a check in
payment of all dues and/or service charges collected in a given month as soon
after the end of a month as possible. These remittances will be subject to
normal accounting practice with respect to adjustments necessary because of the
methods involved in the deduction procedure. The Company remittance of the Air
Line Pilots Association dues and/or service charges to the Air Line Pilots
Association will be accompanied by a list of names of the Pilots for whom
deductions have been made in that particular period.
D. No
deductions of the Air Line Pilots Association dues will be made from the wages
of any Pilot who has executed a “Check Off Form” and who has been transferred
to a job not covered by this Agreement, or who is on leave without pay. Upon
return to work within a classification covered by this Agreement, deductions
shall be automatically resumed provided the Pilot has not revoked the assignment
in accordance with the provisions stipulated on the “Check Off Form” and of the
Railway Labor Act, as amended.
E. A
Pilot who has executed a “Check Off Form” and who resigns or is otherwise
terminated from the Company will be deemed to have automatically revoked his
assignment, and if he is subsequently reemployed, further deductions of the Air
Line Pilots Association dues will be made only upon execution and receipt of a
new “Check Off Form”.
F. If
the amount of a Pilot’s paycheck is insufficient to cover all deductions, then
deductions of dues will occur only after deductions of amounts required by law,
or authorized by the Pilot for payment of pre-tax 401(k) contributions and
miscellaneous Company benefit plan deductions. Any arrearages of dues payments
will be withheld in subsequent pay period(s). In the event of termination of
employment, the obligation of the Company to collect dues will not extend
beyond the Pilot’s last pay period.
