President’s Message
Rosemary Hays-Thomas

Welcome to the Web site of UFF at UWF.  This site is the location for posting documents that are important to the members of the bargaining unit such as the Collective Bargaining Agreement that covers the terms and conditions of faculty employment.  We will also direct you here for updates on important items such as the status of collective bargaining, pending state legislation, and chapter activities.  The Web site also contains directions for contacting various members of the Executive Committee for assistance or advice about employment-related matters, to participate in chapter activities, or to become a member of your faculty union.
