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 has voluntarily recognized the new Units, but PERC is requiring we show a majority with DOR (Designation of representation) cards. We have collected enough in the Non-Supervisor Unit and are almost done with the Supervisor Unit. If we do not reach the 50%+1 needed in Supervisor Unit it will go to an election. GRU is not allowing any CWA on-site visits. A bargaining committee is almost done with the new contract to take to the table once the paperwork is complete.

Our Next GRU Bargaining Committee Meeting will be held on April 22nd at 6-7pm, the meeting will be held in person at the Union hall (Upstairs).
