Senate Budget Committee to Vote on Union Busting Bill

Lines have been drawn

ALL HANDS ON DECK!

Union Busting BillIs up this week in Senate Committee!


This Wednesday at 1:30pm, the Senate Budget Committee will vote on Senate Bill 830, the Union Gag Bill.

This legislation would deny access to dues deductions from public employees’ paychecks if they choose to be a member of a union. In addition, SB 830 takes away workers’ rights to participate collectively in political activities by outlawing deductions for political funds. If SB 830 becomes law, it will restrict the political rights of thousands of Florida’s families.

SB 830 only targets public sector unions. This bill would not apply to the other 364 organizations that the State of Florida offers payroll deductions, which includes giant insurance and investment organizations.


SB 830’s counterpart in the House (HB 1021) has already been passed, and this is one of the final steps of this legislation before it heads to the Senate Floor for a final vote!!!

Call the Senate Budget Committee TODAY, tomorrow and Wednesday morning and tell them to vote against this anti-middle class, anti-democratic legislation. Tell them: "Stop the attacks on my rights. It is my choice to join my union and I do not want politicians in Tallahassee taking away my rights."
