Join Our Union!

UIC United Faculty is an organization run by and for faculty members at the University of Illinois at Chicago. The more members get involved, the more effective our union will be. We strongly encourage every eligible faculty member at UIC to join our union!

Complete our Digital Membership Application Here!
Note: This link will take you to a 3rd party website, (PDFFiller.com) to complete the application process. You will need to provide a name, email, and agree to terms of service to proceed to the application form. A union representative will confirm receipt of your application within one working day of receiving it.

You are eligible to join if you are a full-time (51%+ appointment) tenure or non-tenure track faculty member, including visiting titles, working at UIC.

While all faculty represented by our union benefit from contract negotiations and support during grievances and discipline cases, our active members enjoy several benefits that non-members do not. Only union members can:

• Vote to ratify our contract

• Vote to elect union leadership

• Serve on committees and as elected officers

• Attend member meetings and receive member-only information on bargaining

• Participate in bargaining and shared governance surveys that influence union policy and actions

• Receive valuable UnionPlus discounts

Dues are 1% of a member’s gross pay.

Eligible faculty can join our union by either:

*A UIC United Faculty representative will confirm receipt of your completed application.
