This agreement, entered into this 26th day of August 2003, by and between American Federation of Musicians Local 661-708 (hereinafter referred to as the “Union”), and the City of Ocean City, New Jersey (hereinafter referred to as the “City”).
ARTICLE I
UNION RECOGNITION
The City recognizes the Union as the exclusive representative for collective negotiations for the instrumental musicians of the Ocean City Pops Orchestra, who are non-probationary members of the orchestra and who have worked for a minimum of 70% of the performances for the previous season.
The parties agree that the provisions of this collective bargaining agreement are in force for all services provided by musicians in relation to performances of the Ocean City Pops Orchestra, as scheduled and approved by the City, with the exception of those performances sponsored or funded by the Musicians Performance Trust Funds of the American Federation of Musicians.
ARTICLE II
DUES DEDUCTION
1. The City agrees to deduct from the salaries of its employees subject to this Agreement dues for the Union (this includes subs, extras, probationary and non-probationary musicians.) Such deductions shall be made in compliance with Chapter 310, Public Laws of 1967, N.J.S.A. (R.S. 52:14-15.9(e)), as amended. Said monies together with records of any corrections shall be transmitted to the Union Treasurer within five (5) working days from the payroll period ending date of each bi-weekly payroll period.
2. If, during the life of this Agreement there shall be any change in the rate of membership dues, the Union shall furnish to the City written notice 30 days prior to the effective date of such change and shall furnish new authorizations from its members showing the authorized deduction for such employees.
3. The Union will provide the necessary "check-off" authorization form and the Union will secure the signatures of its members on the form and deliver the signed forms to the City Treasurer. The Union shall indemnify, defend and save the City harmless against any and all claims, demands, suits or other forms of liability that shall arise out of or by reason of action taken by the city in reliance upon salary deduction authorization cards submitted by the Union to the City or in reliance upon the official notification on the letterhead of the Union and signed by the President and Secretary of the Union advising of such changed deduction.
4. The Union Agrees that there shall be no discrimination, intimidation, restraint, coercion, harassment or pressure by it or its officers, agents or members against any employee who refuses or fails to execute an authorization card.
5. Any such written authorization may be withdrawn at any time by the filing of notice of such withdrawal with the City Treasurer. The filing of notice of withdrawal shall be effective to halt deductions as of January 1st or July 1st next succeeding the date on which the notice of withdrawal is filed, in accordance with N.J.S.A. 52:14-15.9(e) as amended.
6. Any employee in the bargaining unit on the effective date of this Agreement who does not join the Union within 30 days of initial employment within the unit, and any permanent employee previously employed with the unit who does not join within ten (10) days of re-entry into employment with the unit shall, as a condition of employment, pay a representation fee to the Union by automatic payroll deduction. This representation fee shall be paid in an amount not greater than 85% of the regular Union membership dues, fees and assessments as certified to the employer by the Union. The Union may revise its certification on the amount of the representation fee at any time to reflect changes in the regular Union membership dues, fees and assessments. The Union's entitlement to the representation fee shall continue beyond the termination date of the Agreement as long as the Union remains the majority representative of the employees in the unit, provided that no modification is made in the provision by a successor agreement between the Union and the Employer.
7. The Union agrees to furnish the City with a copy of its "demand and return system" which must be established and maintained by the Union in accordance with the law.
8. The Union shall indemnify, defend and save the City harmless against any and all claims, demands, suits or other forms of liability that shall arise out of or by reason of any action taken in making deductions and remitting the same to the Union pursuant to this Article.

SERVICES

Once the season schedule is set with a musician’s established number of concerts, a musician must notify the Musical Director if they cannot make a concert. A minimum of two (2) weeks notice is required. If less than two (2) weeks’ notice is given, a provision in the Substitute Policy must be followed.
2. A service (rehearsal or performance) shall be defined as a unit of work upon which wages are based.

For each 30 minutes of overtime, there shall be a five (5) minute break at the beginning of each 30-minute segment. If, in the judgment of the Musical Director, the required overtime will not exceed 30 minutes, the placement of the first five-minute break may be changed to the end of the overtime, if the majority of the musicians present approve.
4. Overtime for rehearsals shall be compensated at 150% the individual per service rate.
5. A performance in excess of two (2) hours shall be considered overtime, following a five (5) minute grace period for which no compensation shall be paid. Fifteen (15) minute overtime increments will begin at the end of the two (2) hour allotment for a performance. Overtime for a performance shall be compensated at 100% the individual per service rate for the first 30 minutes of overtime, and 150% the individual per service rate for the second and subsequent 30-minute periods of overtime.
6. A break (intermission) of 15 minutes shall be given to the entire orchestra at all services. No rehearsal shall extend beyond one (1) hour and 15 minutes without a 15-minute break.
7. All services offered to and accepted by the musician must be attended. Excused absences will be granted for illness or emergency. Excused absences for other reasons may be granted at the discretion of the Music Director. Excused absences will not be counted in the 30% absence allowance.
8. Musicians who have maintained non-probationary status for at least four (4) consecutive years may request for a good and sufficient reason an unpaid sabbatical for one (1) season or part thereof. Sabbaticals cannot be taken more than once during any five (5) year period. Requests for an unpaid sabbatical shall be submitted to the Director of Community Services of Ocean City, stating the reasons for, and the duration of, the requested sabbatical. Request for a sabbatical must be made within ten (10) days of receiving the performance schedule for the season. Requests for sabbaticals will be considered on a first come, first serve basis. No more than five (5) musicians may be granted a sabbatical in any one (1) season.
Musicians are required to be seated and ready to play five (5) minutes prior to the start of any service. The City shall make every effort to make the stage available to Musicians a minimum of 30 minutes prior to the start of any service.
The first 30 minutes of any interruption or delay of a service caused by factors over which the City has no control, such as power failure (affecting the Music Pier and other boardwalk locations), injury or illness to anyone in the facility, weather, fire, fire alarm, or other emergency delay, shall not be counted in determining whether an overtime period has been reached.
11. If a show is scheduled for more than one performance, the same Musicians are required to perform for the length of that show’s run. Musical Director may use his discretion to waive this.
12. Lateness/Early Departure: Wage penalty subtracted per 15 minutes or fraction thereof (rounded up), based on each musician’s hourly rate per service.

B. Step Two - Director of Community Services: If no agreement can be reached at Step One, the musician or the Union may present the grievance in writing within ten (10) calendar days thereafter to the Director of Community Services or his designated representative. The grievance at this step shall contain the relevant facts and a summary of the preceding oral discussion, including the applicable section of the contract violated and the remedy requested by the grievant.

The decision of the arbitrator shall be final and binding.
5. The time limits expressed herein shall be strictly adhered to. If any grievance has not been initiated within the time limits specified, then the grievance shall be deemed to have been abandoned.

If a decision is not rendered within the time limits prescribed for decision at any step in the Grievance Procedure, then the grievance shall be deemed to have been denied. Nothing herein shall prevent the parties from mutually agreeing to extend or contract the time limits provided for processing the grievance at any step in the Grievance Procedure.
