Supreme Court of Florida

International Association of Firefighters Local S-20, Petitioner v. State of Florida, Respondent.

November 8, 2018257 So. 3d 364

Summary

The court concluded that it had improvidently granted review of the First District's decision and dismissed the review proceeding. The majority therefore did not reach the constitutional questions concerning collective bargaining, gubernatorial veto authority, or due process. A dissent argued that those questions warranted resolution because collective bargaining is a fundamental right and the veto process allegedly permits the Governor to act as a party and final decision-maker in the same dispute.
