Why Join UFF-UF?

✓ Guarantee faculty have a say at UF

Faculty volunteers negotiate our contract, which defines our working conditions, raises, benefits, and more. Collective bargaining ensures faculty play a meaningful role in decision-making at UF. That’s real shared governance.

✓ Protect your professional future

Our union secures key professional safeguards, like clear promotion criteria, fair evaluations, and due process in the case of disciplinary action. We defend faculty members’ autonomy in their teaching, research, clinical, and creative pursuits.

✓ Get representation if you need it

Members get representation by trained grievance officers if the university violates their contractual rights. Our contract has the weight of law, and we work hard to enforce it.

✓ Help steer the ship

UFF-UF is led by our members. We define our priorities democratically. We need your input as an active member because, together, we can forge a path that best meets our collective needs.

✓ Stand in solidarity

We are united in the face of politicized attacks on higher education. Our union is our most powerful tool to effect positive change for ourselves and for our fellow educators, in Florida and beyond.
