TALLAHASSEE, Fla. â Florida labor unions are urging the governor to rethink early withdrawal from the federal program boosting unemployment benefits.
Claimants will lose an extra $300 a week on June 26 unless Gov. Ron DeSantis backtracks. The money comes on top of any other state or federal benefits for qualified job seekers.
Florida AFL-CIO and others launched a digital campaign and petition Thursday to encourage DeSantis to change his mind. The group wants to keep payments running until their original September expiration.

KANSAS CITY, Mo. â Missouri Gov. Mike s Parson s decision to end six federal unemployment benefits on June 12 has struck a chord with many in Kansas City. I think itâs unfair for them to say that they donât want to accept any more money, resident Silvia Graham said.
It s been a tough year for Graham, as the COVID-19 pandemic impacted her life dramatically. I had to quit my job because I couldnât get to the job because all the day cares were closed, Graham said. Schools just closed, so it was very devastating.
