COLLECTIVE BARGAINING AGREEMENT Between NEW YORK UNIVERSITY And LOCAL ONE SECURITY OFFICERS UNION
July 1, 2001 - June 20, 2006

ARTICLE 3 - CHECK-OFF

A. Upon receipt of written authorization from a security officer signed by the security officer in the form annexed hereto as Appendix F, the Employer does hereby agree that it will, pursuant to such authorization, deduct from the wages due said employee in the first pay period of each month, starting September 1, 1997 and thereafter on the first pay period of the month following the completion of the security officer's first thirty (30) days of employment and remit to the Union not later than the 20th day of the same month the regular monthly dues and initiation fees due to the Union. The Employer agrees that such deductions shall constitute trust funds. Security officers who do not sign written authorization for a deduction of dues and initiation fees from their wages must adhere to the same payment procedures by making payments directly to the Union. An Employee who fails to maintain membership in good standing as required by this Article shall within twenty calendar days following receipt of a written demand from the Union requesting his/her discharge be discharged.

B. The Employer shall be relieved from making such "check-off" deductions from wages of security officers upon (a) termination of employment or, (b) transfer to a job other than one covered by the bargaining unit or, (c) laid off from work, or leave of absence or, (d) revocation of the check-off authorization within its terms or applicable law.

C. Each month the Employer shall remit to the Union a list of all employees from whom dues and/or initiation fees have been deducted.

D. The Employer agrees to furnish to the Union each month a list of the names of newly hired security officers, their addresses, social security numbers, and their date of hire. The Employer shall also furnish to the Union each month a list of names of terminated employees together with their dates of termination and names of employees on leaves of absence.

E. If a signatory does not revoke his authorization at the end of a year following the date of such authorization or at the end of the current contract, whichever is earlier, it shall be deemed a renewal of such authorization irrevocable for another year or until the expiration of the next succeeding contract, whichever is earlier.

F. It is agreed that the Employer assumes no obligation financial or otherwise arising out of the provisions of this Article and the Union hereby agrees that it will indemnify and hold the Employer harmless for any claims, actions or proceedings by any employee arising from the deductions made by the Employer hereunder. Once the funds are submitted to the Union, their disposition thereafter shall be the sole and exclusive obligation and responsibility of the Union.

G. For the purpose of determining the Employees who should be members of the Union and to insure that the terms of this agreement are being complied with, the Union shall have the right to inspect the Employer's Social Security reports and all payroll and tax records, concerning covered employees and any other record of their employment and the Employer shall make such records available to the Union during normal business hours upon reasonable notice.
