The ballot will ask whether UF Faculty should keep our union and our collective bargaining rights. We urge you to vote YES. Turnout is critical. We don’t just need a majority of votes, we need a large majority of eligible FACULTY to vote YES. We did this before with 80% of faculty voting yes (regardless if they became members.) Let’s do it again.
