Q&A #3 on Tentative Agreement
Q. What are the downsides of doing away with the one year individual contacts?
A. UFF representatives heard the BOT representatives state in bargaining that they consider the one-time letter to have the same legal meaning as a contract, and the chapter will hold the university to that shared understanding.
Q. I can’t vote at the times or locations you suggest. Is there a way I could vote by absentee ballot or proxy?
A. The chapter is balancing the need to hold a ratification vote promptly against the need to give in-unit faculty and professional employees a broad opportunity to vote on the tentative agreement. For this ratification, we do not have the option for absentee ballots or proxies.
