Florida sues White House over funding tied to new state labor law

Florida has sued the Biden administration over the threat to withhold $800 million in transportation infrastructure funding due to a new state law that unions view as anti-labor.
The state argues that the funding is being conditioned on Florida's agreement not to enforce provisions that the Secretary of Labor believes undermine collective bargaining.
Florida passed laws to protect workers from union pressure and is pushing back against what it sees as federal overreach.
