Welcome to Communications Workers of America Local 3207's Web site!
 CWA, a 501(c)(5) organization is America's largest communications and media union, representing over 700,000 men and women in both private and public sectors, including over a half million workers who are building the Information Highway.
CWA members are employed in telecommunications, broadcasting, cable TV, journalism, publishing, electronics and general manufacturing, as well as airline customer service, government service, health care, education and other fields. We represent employees of AT&T in the Central Savannah River Area covering the east side of Georgia and the west side of South Carolina. We also cover employees of Palmetto Rural Telephone Cooperative, Inc in South Carolina.
The Union includes some 1,200 chartered local unions across the United States, Canada and Puerto Rico. Members live in approximately 10,000 communities, making CWA one of the most geographically diverse unions.
Bargaining with AT&T on behalf of Core/UFO and UOps has begun - Continue to Mobilize! The bargaining committee needs your support.
Mobilization activities will be on-going so check here often for information and updates. Keep up with your Local 3207's activities. The Mobilization Coordinator is Ronnie O'Neal. Bargaining Mobilization Tshirts for members affected by the LegacyB and Utility Ops contracts have arrived. See your Local representative to acquire your Tshirt.
Strike Vote Has Ended.
The strike Vote on Saturday, July 20, 2024 at the Union Hall for all Members covered by AT&T Southeast Core and Utility Ops Contracts is over.
District 3 will announce the results once all the vote counts are in.
Contract Expiration Fish Fry
There will be a Contract Expiration Fish Fry for our Members of Local 3207 at the Union Hall Saturday, August 3, 2024 from 6p-Midnight. Bring your appetite and join us as we countdown to the expiration.
Bargaining Mobilization Event in the ATL
Contract Bargaining Rally on July 27, 2024 from 2p-4p will be held at 754 Peachtree Street in Atlanta. Take a trip to Atlanta and meet other District 3 Brothers and Sisters rally around our bargaining team and show your support. Food will be served after the event at the Local 3204 Union Hall, 279 Logan St, Atlanta GA.
SB362 in Georgia Passed, Unfortunately
After Governor Kemp pushed legislation in Georgia, SB 362, that will take away our contractually bargained right to join a union through card check, members of the Georgia House disregarded the wishes and rights of workers and passed the bill. We need to do better at getting our legislature to listen to us. Let them know at the voting booth by supporting labor friendly candidates. Click here to see how your representative voted.

Make your voice count! Remember to vote in all elections. The politicians you put in office directly affect your ability to bargain for better wages, benefits and vacation times and at the very least keep you from losing what you already have. Call your local state reps and ask them where they stand on labor issues and vote for the best answers. We need to let them know a brick wall against labor issues isn't going to get a vote.

Joseph Beirne Scholarship
The Foundation’s Board of Directors has approved the awarding of sixteen (16) partial college scholarships of $4,000 each for two years.

The triangle symbolizes the three major programs of the union:
- Representation
- Organizing
- Community/Political Action

 |
| If the triangle is broken on any side, sooner or later it will be broken on every side. CWA's founding President, Joseph Bierne, called this the "triple threat". |
