Just a Reminder:

If Ratified, This Will Be Your Contract!

Vote in the Ratification Election!

By now, you should have received a ballot packet for voting ratifying the proposed 2014 - 2017 Collective Bargaining Agreement. If ratified, this will be your contract with the university.

If you have not received a ballot packet by now, or if there is something wrong with the ballot packet, contact the Chapter Secretary to get a ballot packet.

Again, ballots must be received by the UFF by Friday, August 1, at 5 pm to be counted. Ballots will be counted on Saturday, August 2, at 10:30 am, at the Union Office, NEC 223, on USF Tampa. All UFF USF employees - UFF members and otherwise - are invited to attend the count.

For more information, see the Biweekly Extra on ratification. The UFF USF Executive Committee and the UFF USF Bargaining Team strongly recommend voting in favor of ratification.
