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.

ATTENTION: City of Gainesville General Gov. & GHA

Union elections are now underway! All ballots should have been received last week (by May 22nd). Please vote YES and return your ballot as soon as possible, all ballots must be received in Tallahassee by June 12th to be counted. If you were hired after February 20th, you will not be eligible to vote. This date was set by PERC (Public Employees Relations Committee in Tallahassee).

If you believe you are an eligible voter and have not received a ballot in the mail by May 22, 2025 or if you want your ballot to be mailed to an address other than your home address, currently on file with your employer, email your request to the Elections Division at Ballotrequests@perc.fl.gov or communicate immediately with the Public Employees Relations Commission, Suite 300, 4708 Capital Circle Northwest, Tallahassee, Florida 32303, (850) 488-8641.

Congratulations to our Alachua County Library District! The Library submitted over 60% (62.9%) and have officially been recertified!

No elections necessary!

GRU has voluntarily recognized the new Units, We gathered more than enough Designation of Representation cards to show a majority! The Units will receive their certification as soon as PERC processes the paperwork and we will go into bargaining!

FYI: GRU is not allowing any CWA on-site visits until this process is complete. A bargaining committee has completed a new draft contract to take to the table once the paperwork is complete. Bargaining request forms will be sent out to cover any articles you would like to see changed.

Please fill out the form below if you are interested in participating in a committee

REMINDER: The union is prohibited from contacting anyone on their work emails or phones, if you have not received any correspondence from us, check your spam folders, if you do not have any emails fill out the form above and we will add you to our email list.
