The bill places an undue burden on the employer as well as the employee. Once the employer receives a signed dues authorization, the employer must “confirm with the employee, electronically or by other means, that he or she authorized the deduction of dues and uniform assessments.” This puts the employer in charge of the dues authorization process for the first time in history.
The bottom line: SB 78 is unnecessary. Florida is a right to work state. Workers NEVER have to join their union. It is their choice whether and when to join. And they can cancel their membership at any time for any reason.
Please help us send a strong message to legislators that we don’t need unnecessary regulations that impede our freedom to be a member of a union.
