Republicans in Florida are pushing for House Bill 25, which proposes to decertify any union in which 50 percent of workers don’t pay dues. As a right to work state, workers in Florida are not required to pay dues to a union, even if they benefit from representation. Florida state representative Scott Plakon introduced the bill, which if passed, would disproportionately impact women who make up the majority at the unions that would be targeted.
