Membership and Benefits
Join Now!Why Join UFF-UCF?
Our UCF faculty union is our collective voice. The more members we have, the more united and powerful we are together. The more the Administration notices our collective power, the more say we have in making UCF the kind of university we all want it to be.
Florida is one of 27 “right-to-work” states in the country. UCF Faculty are in our Bargaining Unit, i.e. you are covered by the Collective Bargaining Agreement that UFF negotiates, but you’re not a member unless you explicitly fill out a membership form.
UFF-UCF Values
Our Faculty union is our collective voice. Our mission is for membership with UFF to be transformative and not transactional. UFF members are encouraged to join volunteer committees.
Benefits of Joining UFF-UCF
As a UFF member, you automatically receive certain benefits, such as $1 million employment liability coverage and two free 30 minute consultations with a participating attorney each year. Take advantage of the many other benefits available: loans, mortgages, insurance, and discounts on hotels, car rentals, cellular phone plans, and even pet insurance. It is entirely possible to save more money from discounts than you pay in dues annually. Be sure to explore member benefits available from both NEA and AFT since you belong to both national organizations through UFF.

Retirees and At-Large Membership
Retired faculty can also be a part of UFF, in the same chapter as “at-large” member. Here is the form you need to fill out if you are retired and want to be a member of UFF. The annual dues for a retiree are $86.00; the lifetime-member dues are $450.00 (though note that in order for you to receive the NEA life membership that comes with that, the member must pay the $450 before retiring from the position). Both of those dues are current as of the 2015-16 academic year.
Do You Need a Union Friendly Lawyer?
If you prefer to send a check to UFF rather than to have automatic deductions from your paychecks (August 8 – May 8), please email membership@uffucf.org.
