Debbie Wasserman Schultz (FL-25) led all eight Democratic Members of the Florida House delegation in the following statement in support of Brightline employees’ right to organize: “Since 1926, the Railway Labor Act has protected rail workers and their right to form a union and collective bargain – a core principle we all unequivocally support. With the news of employees working onboard Brightline trains from Miami to Orlando seeking to organize with the Transport Workers Union (TWU), we reaffirm and publicly support the right and ability to organize with the National Mediation Board as intended under the Railway Labor Act. We know union workers built the middle class and support critical industries across the state of Florida and the country. We all look forward to continuing to work with and fight for the workers and unions that keep Florida’s economy moving and growing - which is why we strongly support workers’ right to organize and collectively bargain.” Rep. Wasserman Schultz was joined by Florida Democratic colleagues Reps. Kathy Castor (FL-14), Ranking Member of Railroads, Pipelines, and Hazardous Materials Subcommittee Frederica Wilson (FL-24), Lois Frankel (FL-22), Darren Soto (FL-09), Sheila Cherfilus-McCormick (FL-20), Maxwell Frost (FL-10), and Jared Moskowitz (FL-23). #### | 1 | 2026-03-30T01:40:41Z | 2026-04-07T21:43:57Z |
