Fight for $15 at University of Florida!

University of Florida

In 2015, the Alachua County Labor Coalition launched a campaign to push the 10 largest employers in Alachua County to pay a living wage by 2020. In response, the Alachua County Commission was one of the first employers to increase their wages when they passed the strongest, most progressive living wage ordinance in the state of Florida. Progress has been made at the University of Florida, the City of Gainesville, the Alachua County School Board, Nationwide, and Santa Fe College, but more movement on wages is needed.


As such, the Alachua County Labor Coalition, University of Florida students and community supporters demand attention be turned toward the wages and conditions of workers at the University of Florida. In support of all workers employed directly or contracted by the University of Florida, we demand:

  • A $15/hr minimum wage for all university employees and contractors.

  • The right for all UF workers to unionize WITHOUT obstruction by UF administration.
