UFF-USF

On February 19, 2010, the USF BOT and the United Faculty of Florida tentatively agreed to a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU [PDF] phasing in instructor promotion tracks. Once ratified, this Memorandum of Understanding would allow instructors at USF since August 1997 (or before) to apply this year (after ratification), and within three years every instructor at USF since August 2006 will will be eligible to apply for promotion, and thereafter eligibility will kick in after five years’ service.

Because it affects the terms and conditions of employment, a memorandum of understanding must be ratified by both parties as a collective bargaining agreement must be ratified.
The bargaining team recommends that you vote to ratify this agreement.

Voting will occur online during March 15-17, and during spring break notices will go to each in-unit employee with an individual code and instructions for online voting.

ANY EMPLOYEE IN THE BARGAINING UNIT REPRESENTED BY UFF-USF IS ELIGIBLE TO VOTE ON RATIFICATION.
If you have questions about the tentative agreement, you can e-mail them to sherman.dorn@gmail.com or call 813-205-6143. You can also ask questions at a designated anonymous Q&A site for the chapter.

The result of the ratification vote will be announced on the front page of this blog and through e-mail on the evening of March 17.
