HOLLYWOOD, Fla. \u2013 The Florida State Legislative Board invited two Florida state politicians to address attendees at the August regional meeting. While there, both pledged to continue their advocacy for labor while thanking members for their support.
\nState Rep. Joe Geller (D \u2013 Dist. 100) said that an inhospitable political climate at the moment in the Florida Legislature won\u2019t deter him from fighting against anti-labor policies in Tallahassee.
\n\u201cI\u2019m one of the people in Tallahassee who doesn\u2019t make any bones about where I stand,\u201d he said at the Aug. 6 lunch break. \u201cI\u2019m pro-union. I\u2019m pro-labor. I stand with working men and women because working men and women are who built this country.\u201d
