Ron DeSantis says unemployed are to blame for Florida application problems He said “99.99 percent” of people who have successfully applied for unemployment in March and mid-April have been paid.

Florida has been the slowest state in the nation to process unemployment claims, yet @GovRonDeSantis just blamed suffering unemployed workers:#pfla #flunion

State workers' union seeks 5 % pay increase; some workers rely on public assistance because of obscenely low wages • Florida Phoenix A major state workers’ union says it will be seeking a 5 percent annual pay increase for its employees when it begins negotiations with the state on Friday. Representatives of AFSCME Florida say most rank-and-file state workers have not had a raise in three years. “Another year without a raise would be punch in the […]

“We are the front lines in keeping this state functioning properly and we are struggling. We have workers paid so poorly that they have to rely on public assistance. It’s obscene.”#pfla #flunion

Labor unions are more relevant than ever, and Florida workers want them strengthened:#pfla #flunion via @rtemplin

Florida House will vote on bill opposed by unions The Florida House will vote as soon as Thursday on a bill that Republican leaders in the Legislature say would prevent a small number of people from claiming to represent a large number of employees; but unions oppose HB 25 saying its goal is to de-certify public employee unions.

The Florida House will vote on the union-busting bill as soon as today. Call 855-235-2469 and tell your local representative to vote NO on HB 25!#pfla #flunion

‘Union-busting’ bill passes Florida House. It’s not likely to fly in Senate. A highly controversial measure opponents describe as “union-busting” legislation meant to target Florida public school teachers passed the Republican-led House Thursday in a near party-line vote, although it’s unlikely to have any life in the Senate.
