As set forth in Plaintiff's Motion and discussed below, Plaintiff alleges he has encountered significant difficulty attempting to effect service of process on Defendant, Team America Miami, Inc. (“Defendant” or “Team America”), in this employment discrimination lawsuit. After amending his Complaint and attempting to effect service using Florida's substitute service of process statute, Section 48.141, Florida Statutes, Plaintiff filed the instant Motion requesting the Court deem Defendant served under that statute. Unfortunately, as explained below, Defendant fails to demonstrate he has satisfied the technical requirements of Florida's substitute service statute.
The former, general summons form is to be used for all other service by summons, including service under sections 48.061 (service on partnership), 48.071 (service on agents of nonresidents doing business in the state), 48.081 (service on corporation), 48.101 (service on dissolved corporations), 48.111 (service on public agencies or officers), 48.121 (service on the state), 48.131 (service on alien property custodian), 48.141 (service on labor unions), 48.151 (service on statutory agents for certain purposes), Florida Statutes, and all statutes providing for substituted service on the secretary of state.

We reverse, holding that service of process on a secretary in the office of the business manager of a labor union is insufficient to permit the court to obtain jurisdiction over the union. § 48.141, Fla. Stat. (1983). See also § 447.11, Fla. Stat. (1983). Semble: Hauser v. Schiff, 341 So.2d 531 (Fla. 3d DCA 1977).
