[QUOTE="JonFrum, post: 920839, member: 18044"] To clarify: The following long-standing language is quoted from our Union Contract. The [B]boldface[/B] portion is, and has been, ILLEGAL TO CARRY OUT. It is unenforceable. Yet it is there in black and white, and "Yes"-voters keep ratifying it in Contract after Contract. Naturally, some people are led to believe the [B]boldface[/B] language is the Law of the Land, when if fact it isn't. Only a very well informed New Hire would know the [B]boldface[/B] language is null and void despite what UPS or his BA or Steward might say. ARTICLE 3. RECOGNITION, UNION SHOP AND CHECKOFF Section 2. Union Shop and Dues (a) [SIZE=4][B]All present employees who are members of the Local Union on the effective date of this Subsection or on the date of execution of this Agreement, whichever is the later, shall remain members of the Local Union in good standing as a condition of employment. . . . All present employees who are not members of the Local Union and all employees who are hired hereafter, shall become and remain members in good standing of the Local Union as a condition of employment on and after the thirty-first (31st) day following the beginning of their employment, or on and after the thirty-first (31st) day following the effective date of this subsection, or the date of this Agreement, whichever is the later. An employee who has failed to acquire, or thereafter maintain, membership in the Union, as herein provided, shall be terminated seventy-two (72) hours after the Employer has received written notice from an authorized representative of the Local Union, certifying that membership has been, and is continuing to be offered to such employees on the same basis as all other members, and further that the employee has had notice and opportunity to make all dues or initiation fee payments.[/B][/SIZE] This provision shall be made and become effective as of such time as it may be made and become effective under the provision of the National Labor Relations Act, but not retroactively. (b) No provision of Section 2(a) of this Article shall apply to the extent that it may be prohibited by state law. In those states where subsection (a) above may not be validly applied, the Employer agrees to recommend to all new employees that they become members of the Union and maintain such membership during the life of this Agreement.
