• UUP 2026-2031 Contract Ratification begins today, July 10th, 2026!

    All eligible members will receive an email with a unique code to submit their vote. Votes must be submitted by 5:00pm on July 27th 2026. 

    This is a strong five-year agreement that provides across-the-board raises in each year of the contract, includes retention awards for eligible employees, protects exceptional health benefits, establishes AI provisions, and contains expanded job and due process protections.

    We urge you to vote yes on this contract, which will serve our membership well for years to come. The full contract language of the tentative agreement between UUP and New York state (indicating all additions and deletions) can be viewed on UUP’s Members Only page on the UUP website.  Additionally, you can review a copy of the PowerPoint presentation used during the campus ratification visits, as well as an overview of all the negotiated changes.

    If you don’t know what your UUP Member ID is and don’t have your UUP union card, its probably easiest to call statewide and ask for the benefits office and someone can give you your number. 1-800-342-4206

    As per the presentation the committee has stated that they are hoping to have the ratification vote done in the end of July. It will be an electronic vote. Stand by for more details in the near future. See information below on upcoming opportunities.
