DESCRIPTION/BACKGROUND:
On May 9, 2023, the Governor of Florida approved Section 447.305(6), Florida Statues (2024), which requires that for every bargaining unit for which less than sixty percent of the eligible employees have paid dues, the employee organization must petition the Commission for recertification as the exclusive bargaining agent for that unit within one month of filing its annual registration renewal application. It also requires that the certification of an employee organization that does not comply with this requirement be revoked. The Union failed to file the recertification petition.
On July 18, 2024, the Commission ordered the Union to show cause by no later than August 1, 2024, at which time the Union did not respond to the order to show cause. Accordingly, on August 8, 2024, LiUNA Local 517, Unit 1842 for Marion County Board of County Commissioners, and LiUNA Local 517, Unit 1856 for Marion Oaks Municipal Services Taxing Units (MSTU) has been revoked by the Public Employee Relations Commission (PERC).
