"This victory is a testament to what we educators can accomplish when we stand united," said Karla Hernandez-Mats, president of the United Teachers of Dade.
Despite attempts by a recent law to destabilize the union and substantial amounts of money being funneled into an alternative group, the United Teachers of Dade won with 83 percent.
The Freedom Foundation expressed their intent to continue fighting against Miami-Dade's teachers union, despite the union's successful recertification.
The new legislation, SB256, now requires unions to have 60 percent of members paying dues, complicating the dues collection process for unions.
