All Part Time employees in classifications covered by this MOU are authorized to vote in this election. All Part Time employees in the bargaining unit will be given at least ten (10) calendar days notice prior to the election. If the Agency Shop provision is approved in the election, bargaining unit employees will be required to either join the Union voluntarily or have the City deduct an Agency Fee through payroll deduction.
