FACULTY HANDBOOK 2012–13

Union Representation

Please note: While the 2007–2011 NYS/UUP Agreement expired on July 1, 2011, the vast majority of the provisions in the agreement do not sunset. The location stipend remains in place for all full-time employees, and health insurance benefits remain in place for all eligible employees. The UUP chapter office is providing updates, as available, on the collective bargaining process for the next agreement, and updates are being posted on the UUP website, www.uupinfo.org.

All members of the Purchase College faculty are represented by United University Professions (UUP). UUP is recognized by the state as the exclusive representative for collective negotiations with respect to salaries, wages, hours, and other terms and conditions of employment of employees serving in positions in the State University Professional Services Negotiating Unit. UUP is affiliated with New York State United Teachers (NYSUT), the American Federation of Teachers (AFT), and the AFL-CIO.

Academic and professional employees pay a mandatory agency fee (or union dues, for those who choose to become UUP members) via an after-tax payroll deduction. The fee or dues are one percent of basic annual salary. Information about UUP dues, agency fees, and membership benefits may be obtained from the UUP chapter office on campus and on the UUP website, www.uupinfo.org. Detailed information is also available in the Benefits section of this handbook.
