Florida Tightens Union Rules, Unions Fight Back

Florida lawmakers pass bill to tighten rules on public sector unions, making it harder for them to form or stay certified. The measure includes changes to election requirements, ends voluntary recognition without a vote, and doubles fines for strikes. The bill is expected to reach Governor Ron DeSantis soon for his signature. Union leaders criticize the bill as outside interference, while some Republicans express concerns about red tape. The bill passed on party-line votes, with Republicans outnumbering Democrats.
