Thank you to everyone who joined us for our discussion on the 1968 Florida teachers’ strike with historian Jody Baxter Noll and UFF-UF Co-President Michelle Nolan.

Less than 60 years ago, more than 25,000 educators participated in one of the largest statewide teachers’ strikes in U.S. history—even though public employee strikes were illegal in Florida at the time. Their courage and, most importantly, their unity made it possible to challenge the law and win lasting gains that transformed public-sector unionism in our state.

We must dedicate ourselves to learning the history of educators organizing in Florida. The rights workers have today were won through collective action, and the challenges educators face now didn’t appear overnight. Understanding this history reminds us that solidarity has always been our greatest strength.

A special thank you to historian Jody Baxter Noll for sharing his research, to UFF-UF Co-President Michelle Nolan for leading the conversation, and to The Lynx for hosting us. Here’s to continuing to learn from the past as we organize for the future.

In 1968, more than 25,000 Florida teachers walked off the job in one of the largest statewide teachers’ strikes in U.S. history. The strike transformed public-sector unionism in Florida, won lasting gains for educators, and reshaped the state’s political landscape—while sparking a backlash that continues to influence labor politics today.

Join historian Jody Baxter Noll, author of The 1968 Florida Teachers’ Strike: Public Sector Unionism and the Fight Against Sunshine State Conservatism, for a discussion on this pivotal moment in Florida labor history. The conversation will be led by United Faculty of Florida - University of Florida (UFF-UF) Co-President Michelle Nolan.

📅 July 28
🕕 6–7 PM
📍 The Lynx – 601 S Main St

Whether you’re a union member, educator, student, or just interested in Florida history, this is a great opportunity to learn about a struggle whose legacy is still felt today.
