The words "collective bargaining" aren’t likely to spark interest to some faculty members, but collective bargaining is an important process to determine the terms and conditions of our employment. UFF-FAMU is a professional organization of, by, and for our faculty. It is a democratic, member-supported, volunteer powered voice for faculty at FAMU. UFF-FAMU is your bargaining agent for salary, benefits, academic freedom, tenure, promotion, due process, sabbaticals, etc

UFF-FAMU seeks to make progress this year, but needs your membership as we go into collective bargaining to negotiate for salaries that motivate and retain good faculty, competitive benefits, fairness in assignments, faculty autonomy, shared governance, and academic freedom.

Many faculty members recognize that effective faculty voice is only possible with tangible support, i.e., membership. New faculty, and continuing faculty, benefit from our contract’s protections on salary, benefits, promotion, tenure, academic freedom, shared governance, assignments, evaluations, leave, sabbaticals, etc. UFF-FAMU members-only benefits, including free $1M professional liability coverage, insurance discounts, free legal representation, and grievance representation. It also provides networking with colleagues from all over FAMU, links to faculty statewide and nationally, other communities of interest and tax-deductible dues. Most importantly, membership ensures effective faculty voice on matters that matter to faculty. Join today.
