This Letter of Agreement is made and entered into in accordance with the Railway Labor Act by and between United Airlines, Inc. (the “Company”) and the Association of Flight Attendants – CWA, AFL- CIO (the “Union”).
WITNESSETH:
It is mutually agreed:
The Company agrees to deduct a monthly contribution to the Association of Flight Attendant Political Action Committee (referred to herein as “FLIGHT-PAC”) from the pay of each Flight Attendant who voluntarily authorizes such contributions on the form provided for that purpose by the Union (referred to herein as “Check-Off Forms”).
The language of the Check-Off Forms shall be as shown on Exhibit A, attached hereto.
All Check-Off Forms will be submitted through the President of the Master Executive Council of the Union, who will forward the original signed copy to the Company’s Payroll Accounting Manager, United Airlines, Inc., Houston Support Center, 609 Main Street, HSCPZ 16th Floor, HQJPZ, 600 Jefferson Street Houston, Texas, 77002. A properly executed Check-Off Form, filed before and received by the Payroll Section of the Accounting Department, Houston, Texas, prior to the 10th of any month will become effective the 1st of the month following its receipt. Illegible or improperly executed forms will be returned to the President of the Master Executive Council of the Union.
Any notice of revocation as set forth in the Check-Off Form must be in writing, signed by the employee and delivered by certified mail, addressed to the Payroll Accounting Manager, United Airlines, Inc., Houston Support Center, 609 Main Street, HSCPZ 16th Floor, HQJPZ, 600 Jefferson Street, Houston, Texas, 77002, with a copy to the President of the Master Executive Council. Check-Off Forms and notices so received by the Company will be stamp-dated on the date received and will constitute notice to the Company of the date received and not when mailed. Such notices received by HSCPZ HQJPZ and stamp-dated by the 10th of any month will become effective the 1st of the following month.
Deduction of a Flight Attendant’s contribution shall be made each month provided there is a sufficient balance due the Flight Attendant at the time after all other deductions authorized by the Flight Attendant or required by law (including money claims of the Company and the Credit Union) have been satisfied. Within a reasonable time after the second regular paycheck issued each month, the Company will remit to (Fund ) a check in payment of all contributions collected for that month pursuant to outstanding and unrevoked Check-Off Forms, together with a list of the names of those Flight Attendants for whom contributions were deducted and the amount deducted for each such Flight Attendant.
A Flight Attendant who has executed a Check-Off Form and (1) who resigns from the Company; (2) who is laid off; or is (3) otherwise terminated from the employ of the Company shall be deemed to have automatically revoked her/his assignment as of the date of such action and if she/he (1) is rehired; (2) is recalled; or (3) reemployed, further deductions of (Fund) contributions will be made only upon execution and receipt of another Check-Off Form.
It will be the Union’s responsibility to verify apparent errors in deduction of (Fund) contributions before contacting the Company Payroll Accounting Manager.
United Airlines, Inc., shall be held harmless and indemnified by the Union for any claims which may be made by the Flight Attendant or Flight Attendants by virtue of the wrongful application and misapplication of any of the terms of this Letter of Agreement.
The parties to this Letter of Agreement hereby agree that it shall run concurrently with the 2029.2030 2016.2021 Agreement, and shall be concurrently subject to the provisions pertaining to duration and amendment contained therein.
