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.

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.
Don't know who your representative is? Click here to see your voter information which includes your elected representatives.
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.
********Check on your voter registration often. The system in Georgia has made it easy for someone to cancel your voter registration without your knowledge. Use the links below to verify you are still active in the system.

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". |
