Duval Teachers Union on Edge | Jacksonville News

Duval Teachers United is on the brink of a high-stakes battle to stay certified under Florida’s new union law, which demands 60% membership across all categories—or face a mandatory recertification election with an even tougher hurdle: 50% voter turnout. With teachers at 56%, paraprofessionals just over 51%, and office staff lagging at 43%, the union is racing against time to hit the mark before Thursday’s deadline. If they fail, educators could lose critical benefits and funding—making this not just a numbers game, but a fight for the future of teaching in Duval County.
