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.

Bargaining with AT&T on behalf of Core and UOps begins in June - Let's Mobilize! June 2024 will kickoff bargaining for the contracts covering AT&T Southeast Core/UFO and Utility Ops.
We will be starting mobilization activities in May 2024 so check here often for information and updates. Keep up with your Local 3207's activities. The Mobilization Coordinator is Ronnie O'Neal. We are ordering Tshirts for all members affected by the current bargaining. If you are a part of the CORE/UFO or Utility Ops contracts, please email me your tshirt size to tshirts@cwa3207.org. The tshirts are 100% cotton. Be sure to include your full name.

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". |
