Dear Colleagues,

We are pleased to report that, by a vote of 299 in favor to 3 against, the unit ratified the revised salary article for the 2024-2027 BOT-UFF Collective Bargaining Agreement. Yesterday, the Board of Trustees (BOT) voted to ratify the updated contract in their full board meeting.

Let’s thank the UFF-FIU and administration bargaining teams for all their hard work over the past several weeks. Faculty can expect the greater of a $1,500 or 1.5% raise for 9-month faculty, or the greater of a $2,007 or 1.5% raise for 12-month faculty effective as of their October 17th paychecks. These raises will be retroactive to the start of the 2025-2026 contract period. By the end of the pay period ending October 17th, faculty can also expect a one-time merit bonus based on their annual evaluation scores from the previous academic year. These bonuses will be determined as follows: $1,000 for faculty rated Satisfactory or Good, $1,500 for faculty rated Very Good, or $2,000 for faculty rated Outstanding.

We are deeply grateful for the active participation of so many faculty in the bargaining process. We welcome your ongoing feedback and engagement as we continue to work on solutions to the issues that matter most to you: the faculty.

In solidarity,
Terrence Peterson
Bargaining Chair
