The Florida Legislature is hard at work this session!
Those seeking foreclosure assistance or wondering what help there is to them in foreclosure
The Florida House just passed a bill that overrides local living wage and sick time ordinances, meaning that South Florida employees could take a 40 percent cut in pay.
Miami-Dade and Broward counties both have local laws that require companies who work with the county to pay a higher living wage than the statewide minimum of $7.79.
For 2012-2013, the living wage in Miami-Dade was set at $12.06 with a health plan and $13.82 without.
Rep. Jason Brodeur (R-Sanford) supports preempting local living wages, arguing that “Businesses … need to know they have consistency and stability in the environment in order to drive economic growth,” as reported by the Orlando Sentinel.
