Dear Members of CWA Local 3112,
While 2020 has been a wild roller coaster that nobody bought a ticket for, I am writing to you with a bit of good news as well as important updates.
As you may or may not know, 3 years ago the board negotiated a contract with Vertical Bridge to build a cell tower behind our Hall. When the membership approved the contract, the board committed to starting a scholarship fund for our members and their families. On Monday, August 3rd the board and the newly established educational committee will meet to set up the parameters of eligibility and scholarship award sizes. I have set a deadline of Friday August 7th to have the application and the rules on our website. We will have the drawings at our August 25th membership meeting. Please check our website @ CWA3112.org on Friday the 7th for further information. Our education committee is chaired by Tavera Pratt (wireless) and includes John Bauman (core ft), and Waner Joseph (wiretech).
Also, at the August 25th zoom membership meeting we will be voting on a proposed bylaws change. Unfortunately, in the past 2 years we have endured numerous layoffs, PMR’s, and retirements. Our membership has now dropped below 400 members and due to the reduction, it is the recommendation of the board to change our bylaws and reduce the board by 2 members. At the August meeting we will read the proposed bylaws change, open the matter for discussion, and vote on the proposed changes.
2020 is an election year for all locals in CWA. Due to the continuing difficulties of the Covid-19 pandemic and hurricane season, the board in consultation with the elections committee has moved up Local 3112’s election to the 1st of September. On September 1st , we will host a special elections meeting via zoom, we will hold nominations and the election will conclude at the September 22nd membership meeting. Our elections committee will be chaired by Scott Edick (Core ft) and includes Victor Macaya (Core st and current board member not seeking reelection), Donald Cohen (Wireless), David Holstien (Wiretech), and Logan Jara (BSW).
To ensure you get all the zoom invitations, election ballot, and future updates please visit our website to update your home and email address. Do not forget to follow us on Facebook @ CWA 3112.
In Unity.
