BROOKSVILLE - As of Friday, there was no word from the Florida Public Employees Relations Commission regarding the county employees' union vote.
The commission started tabulating the ballots from Hernando County employees Wednesday to determine whether they favor organizing collectively as a whole or splitting into two bargaining units.
The two units would separate the professional and nonprofessional county workers.
This is only the first decision government employees will go through as they decide whether to unionize.
The next step: Employees will decide whether to allow the Teamsters Local 79 to represent them. If so, a formal vote to unionize would occur soon after.
