Why You Should Join the United Faculty of Florida
- Because the UFF negotiates with the FIU administration the Collective Bargaining Agreement
that determines our salaries and conditions and terms of employment - Because more members means a stronger union and a better agreement
- Because the collective bargaining agreement has the status of law, and is therefore
enforceable by the grievance and arbitration procedure - Because without a grievance procedure, the only way to defend your rights would be for
you to personally hire a lawyer and sue the university over issues like academic freedom, assignments,
evaluations, leaves, tenure, discrimination, discipline, intellectual property rights,
summer pay, and a host of others - Because without the union, the administration will impose a top-down corporate management
structure, which would treat us as expendable employees, rather than the shared-interest
governance approach the union is trying to defend - Because membership brings a $1 million liability insurance policy, in case you are sued
in connection with your job - Because you have a free consultation with an attorney on non-employment related issues,
and reduced attorney charges if you need to retain one - Because you can save hundreds of dollars a year on travel, entertainment, and auto and home insurance through discounts offered by our partner unions.
