House Bill 1 is an attack on your constitutional right to join a labor organization. HB 1 would require your employer to annually confirm your desire to be a union member. The bill is an insult to educators and other union members by assuming they did not know what they were doing when they made the choice to become a union member. The right to join a labor organization as well as that organization's right to collectively bargain are enshrined in Florida's Constitution. The bill seeks to only undermine those constitutional rights.
The Florida Legislature has tried to attack us before only to see FEA grow stronger than we’ve ever been. This is their latest attempt to undermine your protections and your professional organization. Email the House State Affairs Committee today and tell them to Vote No on HB 1!
