Our final Legislative Report is a detailed account of the final status of the issues we were following during the Legislative Session. These reports contain detailed analysis of the legislation passed, voting records and information on the political context of each issue. We also have included rankings on our state legislators.
Each year the Florida AFL-CIO and the United Labor Lobby carefully examine the performance and record of each our state legislators and rank them accordingly.
EACH LEGISLATOR IS TO BE RANKED ON THESE STANDARDS
• Effectiveness at passing/stopping legislation affecting workers, retirees and their families
• Consistency of supporting labor’s position on legislation, whether or not the legislation passed
• Effectiveness at influencing colleagues on behalf of legislation beneficial to workers, retirees and families.
• Accessibility and openness to AFL-CIO lobbyists, union members and friends of labor.
• Fairness and willingness to help labor when we are outgunned (procedurally or in open discussion).
