UF Constitution and Bylaws (pdf)
Link above accesses the most recent UF Constitution and Bylaws with the latest changes as of October 3, 2008. Under Article X of the Constitution: "The United Faculty may adopt amendments to this Constitution by a majority vote of members voting by secret mail ballot as described in the most recent edition of Roberts Rules of Order, provided that:
(1) the proposed amendments have been introduced at a regular meeting of the Central Committee, and referred to the Membership by a vote of the Central Committee.
Under the Bylaws: "Bylaws may be amended by a majority vote at any regular meeting of the Central Committee provided that proposed amendments have been previously studied by the Executive Board and that copies have been sent to Committee members at least one (1) Week in advance of the meeting." Consequently, the Constitution and Bylaws may be revised and updated periodically and there may be a lag between when the most recent set of documents are posted to this website. However, the current set of documents may be obtained through the UF office at anytime.

The Executive Board/Central Committee meets jointly during the months of September through December and then February through May of every academic year. If any member of the UF bargaining unit has a concern, they are encouraged to talk with their Central Committee representative or Executive Board member to have the issue addressed under the Master Agreement.

Alternatively, UF members are encouraged to bring concerns before the Executive Board/Central Committee at any regularly scheduled meeting. Members of the the Executive Board/Central Committee can be accessed through the Executive Board/Central Committee link to the left. Since times and meeting places may change for the Executive Board/Central Committee Meetings due to issues that may arise and/or the need to find a date when the most members can attend, you may wish to check with the Executive Director as to when the next meeting will take place.
