DeSantis signs Florida law restricting public employee unions and ending automatic due payments.

Florida Governor Ron DeSantis signed an anti-union bill that bans automatic dues deductions from public employees' paychecks, requires unions to recertify if the number of dues-paying members drops below 60%, and forces unions to tell members the salaries of their top five compensated officials. The bill also gives employees the right to immediately quit a union for no reason. The Florida Education Association disputes the governor's narrative, saying the actions were punishment for opposing his policies. DeSantis also signed bills that affect education, including new term limits for school board members, restrictions on student social media use, and protections for teachers who report administrators they believe are violating state education policies.
