FUSA’s Graduation Breakfast

Come join us for the annual FUSA breakfast at graduation May 3rd from 7:30-9:30 at the Florida State Fairgrounds. As usual we will also honor recent faculty retirees. It is a great chance to mingle with your fellow faculty before celebrating our students’ accomplishments.

In other news, NEA has released the Educator Pay Data 2024 report. It includes state rankings and there is a higher education section. Here are a few points from 5 Things To Know About Faculty Pay Today:

  • faculty who teach at colleges or university with faculty unions are paid more money than non-union faculty, even in the same states.
  • at 2-year colleges, faculty who collectively bargain for their pay earned $19,000 more than their colleagues who worked in the same states but without union contracts in 2023,
  • they earned $25,000 more than 2-year faculty in states without collective bargaining.

These data points are a clear indication of the difference union membership brings. Thanks for supporting your union!
