For UFF members who want to know:

How the contract and the grievance process works

An introduction: beginners are welcome.

This workshop is for UFF members, but we will have membership forms at the door

We are your friendly neighborhood faculty union, and we would like to invite you to a Grievance Workshop on Friday, April 20, from 10 am to 11:30 am, on USF Tampa, in the Marshall Student Center, in the Sabal Room (on the third floor, to the right and around the corner from Top of the Palms.)

And afterwards, we will have lunch.

We are the United Faculty of Florida (UFF), and we represent YOU in bargaining and enforcing your contract with the USF Board of Trustees. (In bargaining and contract enforcement - i.e., grievances - UFF represents USF faculty and professionals while the USF Administration represents the USF Board of Trustees.)

(To be precise, UFF represents employees in the "UFF USF Bargaining Unit", which consists of almost all USF faculty and professionals except for many department chairs (although we do represent Arts & Science and Education chairs), many medical people (although we do represent Nursing and Public Health employees), and many "administrative and professional" people.)

UFF is a volunteer organization consisting of fellow faculty and professionals, and anyone in the Bargaining Unit may join: just Download, fill in, and mail the membership form; dues are 1 % of salary for someone to bargain and enforce your contract (about one-twentieth the going rate in Hollywood for someone to bargain and enforce your contract).

So come check us out Friday, 10:00 am, in the Marshall Student Center, in the Sabal Room.
