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! we submitted over 60% and await our recertification papers!

For the other units, we have moved on to the 2nd step in keeping your contracts. It is NOT over, despite what you may have heard from Management. 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.

We are now collecting Designation of Representation Cards (DORs) We will need 30% in each unit to schedule an election. We will have 30 days to do this, but do not delay, turn in a card today!

City of Gainesville Non-Supervisor Unit – 115 cards needed, so far we have collected 129.

City of Gainesville Supervisor Unit – 8 cards needed, so far we have 3 out of 8

GRU Non Supervisor Unit– 149 cards needed, 66 on hand.

GRU Supervisor Unit – 14 cards needed, so far we have 0 on hand.

ATTN: If you are a Supervisor, please be sure to sign a Supervisor DOR. We could not count 5 cards because they were the wrong card.

Gainesville Housing Authority – 8 cards needed, so far we have 7 cards on hand.

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.
