Florida Sues Biden Transportation Department for Illegal Action Undermining Employee Rights

“Attorney General Moody takes action against Biden administration to ensure Floridians are not strong-armed by unions” is the headline from WWSB Tampa.

Attorney General Ashley Moody is taking legal action against the Biden administration for retaliation against Florida’s new law to prevent unions from exploiting workers. The action is over the federal government’s unconstitutional interpretation of a federal rule concerning collective bargaining rights resulting in a loss of critical funds for Florida.

Earlier this year, the Florida Legislature passed SB 256, a landmark package that enables public workers, like teachers, to make more informed and deliberate decisions on whether to join a union…

The complaint states: “These reforms are designed to ensure that public employees in Florida make a conscious and deliberate decision regarding their constitutional right to participate or not participate in a union. They are also designed to ensure that public sector unions granted the significant power to act as the ‘exclusive bargaining agent’ for a class of public employees have the support of a critical threshold (60%) of those employees.â€
