A Leon County circuit judge has rejected arguments by teacher unions that a controversial 2018 education law violates collective-bargaining rights and improperly singles out teachers among public employees.The law shouldn't apply just to teachers unions, it should apply to every union in the state. It seems eminently reasonable to me. Rather than fighting the law, the unions should work for their membership so that they never even get close to that 50% threshold.
Judge Angela Dempsey on Friday issued an eight-page decision siding with the state’s arguments on the constitutionality of the law, which can require teacher unions to be recertified to represent employees. Such recertification is required if fewer than 50 percent of the employees eligible for representation are dues-paying members.
