USF Faculty Vote in Favor of Proposed Contract

On Friday, USF faculty and professionals in the UFF USF Bargaining Unit voted in favor of ratifying the proposed UFF USF Collective Bargaining Agreement. The results were 98 % in favor, 2 % against.

The new contract is identical to the 2016 - 2019 Collective Bargaining Agreement except:

  • Merit Raises. All faculty and professionals in the UFF USF Bargaining Unit who were hired by 1 August 2018 and were rated at least satisfactory in the 2018 - 2019 performance evaluation will receive a 1.5 % raise.
  • Discretionary Raises. The Administration has the authority to distribute 0.5 % of the payroll as discretionary raises - plus discretionary funds from the 2016 - 2019 contract - for raises for extraordinary accomplishments, equity, etc.; however, the Administration is not required to disburse these funds.
  • Duration of the Contract. The contract will run to December 31, 2020, by which point the UFF and the USF Administration should have bargained a successor contract.
Here is the Memorandum of Understanding enumerating the changes in the current Collective Bargaining Agreement to produce the new contract.

This contract will come into force once ratified by the USF Board of Trustees. Bargaining on the successor to this new contract will start in January.
