PLEASE READ:
UNDER THE RECENT CHANGES IN LEGISLATION, BY GOVERNOR DESANTIS, ON HOW WE COLLECT UNION DUES ... A 2ND PART IS ADDED, WHICH STATES IN ORDER TO BE RECOGNIZED AS A REGISTERED UNION MEMBER IN THE STATE OF FLORIDA YOU MUST ALSO SIGN WHAT HAS BECOME KNOWN AS THE
CWA PERC FORM. THIS PERC FORM REQUIRES NOTHING MORE THAN YOUR SIGNATURE. SO FOR THOSE OF YOU WHO HAVE RECEIVED THESE EMAILS AND TEXT MESSAGES ASKING YOU TO SIGN, IT ONLY TAKES A FEW MINUTES OF YOUR TIME.
THERE IS NO GIVING UP!! SO, DO NOT BE SURPRISED IF YOU HAVEN'T SIGNED YET AND YOU GET A HOME VISIT FROM CWA ORGANIZERS ASKING YOU TO SIGN THE PERC OR MEMBERSHIP DUES FORM!! THAT'S HOW SERIOUS THIS IS!
SOME ISSUES UNION MEMBERS FOUGHT LONG AND HARD FOR AND WON ARE:
40 HOUR WORK WEEK
8 HOUR WORK DAY
ALL BREAKS INCLUDING LUNCH
AGE DISCRIMINATION
PAY INCREASES
EMPLOYER HEALTH CARE INSURANCE
FMLA FAMILY MEDICAL LEAVE ACT

OVERTIME PAY
PAID VACATION
PENSIONS
PREGNANCY AND PARENTAL RIGHTS
SEXUAL HARASSMENT LAWS
WRONGFUL TERMINATION LAWS

THIS WAS JUST TO NAME A FEW ISSUES WON THAT COULD BE TAKEN AWAY WITH THE UNION OR POSSIBLY LOWERED!!! NOW WE HAVE TO FIGHT TO KEEP IT!!! IF YOU HAVEN'T ALREADY, YOU MUST SIGN THE SIGNATURE PERC FORM FOR THIS LOCAL CWA 3180 TO MAINTAIN ABOVE 60% MEMBERSHIP. IT'S ALL UP TO YOU!
