Know Your Contract

June 30, 2012. Becoming a UFF member strengthens the faculty voice and gives you access to professional representation in the grievance/arbitration process

Grievances and arbitration are legally binding procedures to ensure fair treatment of faculty under our Collective Bargaining Agreement with FAU’s Board of Trustees.  Did you know that BEFORE the grievance process, we have the benefit of consultation?  The President, Provost, and Deans are required to resolve the issues we bring up in consultation.  As a  result, UFF has a substantially high informal resolution rate.  This means that most faculty concerns are resolved without legal action!

Join UFF and:

• strengthen the faculty voice on campus and across Florida
• gain professional representation in the grievance/arbitration process
• enjoy $1,000,000 of professional liability coverage
• access representation at the BOT and the Florida Legislature
• utilize FEA, NEA, AFT membership benefits
• count yourself among the majority of faculty members at FIU!

Membership forms are online at www.uff-fau.org. Call 561.297.1306 or email president (at) uff-fau.org for more information.
