CWA 3170

CWA is the union that bargains for and enforces your employment contract. Every three years, as a member you are given the opportunity to submit changes to the contract. Due to last years 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.

Congratulations to our Alachua County Library District! The Library submitted over 60% and have officially been recertified!

For the other units, we have moved on to the 2nd step in keeping your contracts. CWA is not backing down to the State of Florida, while other unions may be leaving public sector for good, we are not going ANYWHERE.

All Designation of Representation cards were submitted on time, now we wait for elections.

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 not recognized new Unit and is not bargaining yet, but we expect the Election notices any day now.

Not one employee at any of our bargaining units has experienced working without a contract

ALL Units have been represented by CWA for 40+ years.

Thank you to everyone who has already completed the new PERC form. This form was a requirement with the new legislation. The links expire after 24 hours, so if you have not signed yet, you will receive another link to both phone & email. Perc FAQ’s here.
