Frequently Asked Questions
Azat Gündoğan, Teaching Faculty I in the Honors Program, is a proud member of UFF-FSU. Read his testimonial.
State legislation passed in 2023 requires that 60% of the bargaining unit (faculty at FSU) must be members. If you don’t join, the union could be decertified. This would mean we lose union protections against discriminatory firing, our opportunity to bargain collectively for higher salaries, and much more.
Dues are 1% of your salary. Our dues are mostly spent on operations, including publications and mailings, advertising and communication costs, events, and more. A portion also goes to UFF statewide.
Anyone in the Collective Bargaining Unit (CBU) can be a member. This includes tenure-track and specialized faculty from all colleges at FSU and FSU Panama City, except for the Colleges of Law and Medicine. Administrators are not part of the CBU, though some directors and chairs are eligible. Email the Membership committee with further questions.
Membership dues are paid through Florida Education Association’s eDues system. It’s much like how you might already pay for your utilities, for example. More details and info on how to pay by check here.
