Exclude slf4j-log4j12 from the classpath via spark-submit

I am getting this error when I use logback-classic.

SLF4J: Class path contains multiple SLF4J bindings.
SLF4J: Found binding in
[jar:file:.m2/repository/ch/qos/logback/logback-classic/1.1.2/logback-classic-1.1.2.jar!/org/slf4j/impl/StaticLoggerBinder.class]
SLF4J: Found binding in
[jar:file:.m2/repository/org/slf4j/slf4j-log4j12/1.7.10/slf4j-log4j12-1.7.10.jar!/org/slf4j/impl/StaticLoggerBinder.class]

I need to use logback-classic for my current project, so I am trying to
ignore "slf4j-log4j12" from spark:
        <dependency>
            <groupId>org.apache.spark</groupId>
            <artifactId>spark-core_2.10</artifactId>
            <version>1.4.1</version>
            <exclusions>
                <exclusion>
                    <groupId>org.slf4j</groupId>
                    <artifactId>slf4j-log4j12</artifactId>
                </exclusion>
            </exclusions>
        </dependency>

Now, when I run my job from Intellij (which sets the classpath), things
work perfectly.

But when I run my job via spark-submit:
~/spark-1.4.1-bin-hadoop2.4/bin/spark-submit --class runner.SparkRunner
spark-0.1-SNAPSHOT-jar-with-dependencies.jar
My job fails because spark-submit sets up the classpath and it re-adds the
slf4j-log4j12.

I am not adding spark jar to the uber-jar via the maven assembly plugin:
     <dependencySets>
        <dependencySet>
            ......
            <useTransitiveDependencies>false</useTransitiveDependencies>
            <excludes>
                <exclude>org.apache.spark:spark-core_2.10</exclude>
            </excludes>
        </dependencySet>
    </dependencySets>

So how can I exclude "slf4j-log4j12.jar" when I submit a job via
spark-submit (on a per job basis)?
