Florida's public workers have lost to Rick Scott again.

Teachers had won their pension fight in District Court, but lost in the Supreme Court in a 4 to 3 vote. Goodbye decent pension and 3% of every paycheck. Teaching has become a "part time" job for those lucky enough to have a second or third job.

in 2014. This is the same guy that tried to get President Obama involved in breaking up the strike with dock workers in Florida. He is making enemies left and right.
