Governor Gavin Newsom vetoed the bill that would have given unemployment to workers who have been on strike at least two weeks.
Senator Anthony J. Portantino , who had sponsored the bill, was disappointed by the veto. “The labor unrest and concern we all witnessed this summer earned the Legislature’s action to pass unemployment benefits for striking workers. The need continues and so will efforts to make this the law in California. The hardworking women and men in California need to put food on their table and pay their rent.
Supporters argued that it would provide needed stability to workers who were on strike, and that the lack of unemployment benefits creates an uneven playing field between business and labor. The Hollywood unions held a rally in support of the measure on Sept. 7 to support the measure. Meredith Stiehm, the president of“Four months without work is emotionally brutal and financially disastrous,” Stiehm said at the rally. “The companies of course know this and have preyed upon our members’ economic insecurity and personal anxiety.”
Newsom signaled he was concerned about adding new burdens on the program in an interview with Politico on Sept. 12.
