Dear John,

 

You are a trusted professional. Parents trust you with their kids every day. Now we need lawmakers to trust you, too. It has just been announced that the bill attacking our constitutional right to be union members — SB 256 — is set to be heard in its last committee on Thursday morning. The Legislature is fast-tracking this bill, and the senators of the Senate Fiscal Policy Committee need to hear from you.

At a time when legislators should be focused on solving the shortage of teachers and staff, SB 256 instead is a solution in search of a problem. It is a blatant attack on working people’s rights and an attempt to silence your voice.

 

Don’t let lawmakers take away your voice at work. Don’t let lawmakers take away your contract. Don’t let lawmakers limit your freedom to decide how to pay your union dues and how to run your union.

In solidarity,

Florida Education Association
