PRESS RELEASE: FAMU Faculty Union Sues State Over Union Busting Law
UFF-FAMU chapter to file a lawsuit against the state of Florida for the union-busting efforts in 2023’s SB 256 and 2024’s SB 1746. The plaintiffs, UFF-FAMU, UFF, the Education Association of Saint Lucie, Saint Lucie teacher Eric Graff, and FAMU professor Dr. James Muchovej are pushing back against the arbitrary 60% threshold and the government mandated membership authorization form because they violate Florida workers’ constitutional right to collectively bargain, freely associate, and organize.
