A lawsuit filed by Florida’s attorney general on Oct. 4 accuses the Biden administration of threatening to withhold more than $800 million from the state over a new law regulating unions.
Signed by Gov. Ron DeSantis on May 9, the law in question, Senate Bill 256, enacted a list of new legal constraints for unions—one of which prohibits unions representing teachers, transportation workers, and other public sector employees from deducting dues from members’ paychecks.
