Grievances

A grievance is a dispute concerning the interpretation or application of a specific term or provision of the Collective Bargaining Agreement. Pending formal ratification, the Collective Bargaining Agreement means the provisions that are in the "Tentative Agreements" referenced in the Memorandum of Agreement dated May 2, 2008 and included on the "Tentative Agreements" webpage and other provisions in the 2001-2003 Collective Bargaining Agreement on which negotiations have not yet been completed.

Grievances may involve all aspects of your employment: assignment, evaluation, merit pay, treatment by your chair and dean, actual or threatened disciplinary actions, academic freedom, discrimination, etc.

A grievance must be filed on Appendix C. A UFF grievance representative will help you file this form correctly.

The terms and provisions of the Contract are enforced by the Grievance Procedure. Article 20 of the Contract spells out the process.

If you think you have a grievance you should contact Dr. Jane Brockmann, Chair of the UFF Grievance Committee at UF, (352) 392-1297; or Dr. Pradeep Kumar, UFF Grievance Committee member, (352) 392-6690 and consult with a UFF Grievance Representative.
