Florida lawmakers are rushing to pass a bill, Senate Bill 1296, that significantly restricts unionization for most state and local government workers. The bill, backed by groups like the Freedom Foundation, requires a supermajority for union elections and exempts public safety unions. The measure, which also increases penalties for illegal strikes and blocks paid union time, has faced opposition from workers and some Republicans, who argue it undermines bargaining rights and ignores issues like pay and benefits. The bill cleared a Senate committee and is set for a floor debate, with opponents warning it may violate the constitution and favor certain unions based on politics.
