As a member-run, worker-to-worker organized union, your experience as a member of UFF-FAU is one of our strongest points of argument for new faculty and nonmembers to join our movement. We need 117 people to join to reach 60%. The only way we get this done is the way we get anything done: we do it together.
Our core recruiters have continuously spoken with new faculty and nonmembers for many months, discussing the union, their need to join, and the upcoming blitz. Many of these people are primed to join. Meeting you and hearing why you are a member while you discuss their concerns and interests will likely make the difference in seeing their way to joining.
We have set up two-hour shifts throughout the week – from Monday, March 31st, and ending on Friday, April 4th, with our last Happy Hour of the semester at The Irishmen from 4-6 pm. We will start our recruitment days at 10 am and end at 6 pm. Reach out to Jake Henson or Chris Robe’ to sign up for shifts.
You will go out in pairs, accompanied by more experienced recruiters. We will assign you locations where you are most comfortable recruiting. Your involvement in speaking to your colleagues about the union shows non-members that faculty are the union and that many of us are willing to engage to the point of outreaching to others about the importance of our union and joining.
It’s time to directly get involved.
