Here are just a few of the reasons you should join United Faculty of Palm Beach State:
- To support the organization that negotiates and defends your collective bargaining agreement with the administration. This determines your wages, hours, terms and conditions, and many other aspects of your employment.
- More members means a stronger union, and a better contract & work environment.
- Our collective bargaining agreement has legal status, enforceable through grievance and arbitration.
- Only members are entitled to UFF representation for grievances and arbitration. Non-members must hire their own attorney to defend their rights and resolve their disputes with the College.
- Without the union, the administration will impose an even greater, top-down corporate management philosophy, which will treat faculty as expendable employees, rather than the collegial governance approach the union seeks.
- Membership includes a $1 million liability insurance policy, in case you are sued in connection with your job.
- Members are entitled to free consultations with an attorney on non-employment related issues, and reduced charges if you retain one, through the Attorney Referral Program.
- Save hundreds of dollars a year on your auto and home insurance, and through our affiliate member benefits programs. When you join UF-PBSC, you also become a member of FEA, NEA, AFT, AFL-CIO.
- To join in the independent, collective voice of the faculty...UF-PBSC.
- Dues are just 1% of your annual salary, divided between pay periods, and deducted by Payroll.
