UFF-UF wins historic high raises at the bargaining table!

The UFF-UF Bargaining Team tentatively agreed to an outstanding 5.0% merit raise pool for higher education faculty, a 3.46% merit raise pool for PK Yonge faculty, and a 1.54% state-decreed salary compression correction for 55 eligible PK Yonge faculty.

This raise package represents a huge victory for faculty and for the UFF-UF bargaining team! For too long, our raises have been too low. As a result, the purchasing power of most faculty members’ salaries has decreased since 2020, despite annual 3% merit raise allocations.

Raises like this one don’t just happen; they’re not a gift from the boss. They’re the direct result of years of tough fights and difficult, painstaking negotiations! Send a word of thanks to your hardworking, all-volunteer Bargaining Team.

More importantly, invest in an even stronger raise package next year by taking 1% of that 5% raise and using it to become a dues-paying UFF-UF member (if you haven’t already done so). Remember: the stronger our membership, the greater our leverage!
