CWA 3170
CWA is the union that bargains for and enforces your employment contract. During the 2023 Legislative Session, a new law was passed requiring all public sector unions to have 60% membership, Payroll dues have been outlawed and every member must have a signed PERC (Public Employee Relations Commission) form on file, this is now a part of our online sign-up process.

Congratulations to our Alachua County Library District! The Library submitted over 60% (62.9%) and have officially been recertified!
City of Gainesville Unit has already recognized the new unit and has begun Bargaining 2025-27 Contracts. Gainesville Housing Authority is also awaiting an election, bargaining has also begun for next contract.
GRU, at this time has claimed to have voluntarily recognized the new GRU Unit but is not bargaining yet or allowing any CWA on-site visits, we do expect the Election notices and we are working towards writing a new contract to be ready for bargaining when we get the go-ahead to proceed.
