Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis on Tuesday signed into law a bill based on a proposal he released earlier this year that’s designed to undermine most public sector unions across the state, under the guise of “paycheck protection.” Over a decade in the making, the union bill imposes new requirements on unions representing thousands of Floridians who work within the public sector, from bus drivers, to sanitation workers, public healthcare workers, librarians, 911 dispatchers, social welfare employees, and city and county government workers. The bill will make it more difficult for unions to collect dues, impose costly financial audits that could unduly burden smaller unions, and will make it harder for unions to remain certified and to bargain for better pay and working conditions for the workers they represent, including those who choose not to financially support their union as a dues-paying member.
