Your Collective Bargaining Agreement
The most important obligation of our union is to negotiate a Collective Bargaining Agreement (CBA) between UFF-FSU and the University. The CBA covers things like:
View the CBA
- tenure
- evaluation
- procedures
- leaves (sabbaticals, professional development, & paid parental leave)
- job security
- disciplinary procedures
- fairness in assignment of responsibilities
- intellectual property rights
- academic freedom
- procedures for filing a grievance if you feel that any of these rights have been violated.
The entire CBA for FSU faculty is renegotiated every three years, but select articles are opened every year. Bargaining begins in March; we send out a survey to gauge the priorities of our members in the months leading up to this.
The FSU School faculty have a separate contract that is negotiated on a different schedule; the most recent CBA for the FSU School is the 2014-2017 contract.
Your Bargaining Team
We Bargain On Your Behalf
We send out faculty surveys every February to learn about the issues you care about most. The answers inform our bargaining and the rest of our advocacy.
Want to Join the Team?
We encourage members to show up to bargaining sessions, which are open to all faculty. If you have feedback for the committee, email the bargaining team. If you want to join the bargaining team, please reach out.
