Massive new lawsuit against several federal agencies of the Biden administration for threatening to withhold funds

 


Several federal agencies in the Biden administration were hit Friday by a massive new lawsuit over a threat to withhold federal funds because of a new union law that the White House disagrees with.

Florida officials filed a lawsuit against five Biden administration officials, including Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg, three federal agencies and the U.S. government itself after threatening to withhold grant money.

The lawsuit was filed against the Federal Transit Administration, the Departments of Labor and Transportation and several officials who oversee those agencies, the Western Journal reported.

The law, signed earlier this year by Gov. Ron DeSantis and taking effect July 1, “facilitated the 'decertification' process for unions and prohibits some state employers from collecting union dues by withholding them from paychecks.” of the employees,” the media reported.

The Florida Public Employee Relations Commission, an entity overseen by political appointees of the governor, according to Politico, has the authority to grant waivers to the new law. The U.S. Department of Labor has stated that certain federal grants will be withheld unless the commission grants permanent waivers for new requirements affecting public transportation employees.CBrief
