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.
This year, The Florida Legislature passed HB 1296 which changes the way the annual recertification elections are won. Prior to July 2026, we had to get a majority of the voters to vote yes. Now, we have to have 50% of the bargaining unit vote AND get a majority. This is going to be difficult, we can avoid recertification by increasing membership numbers to 60%.
