California Gov. Gavin Newsom has been wary about appearing as if he's siding with labor unions or film studios as the Hollywood strikes continue.
Striking workers in California, including writers and actors still picketing Hollywood studios, would be eligible for unemployment benefits under legislation state lawmakers passed on Thursday.
Newsom has been taking a backstage role as the Hollywood strikes drag on for more than 100 days, emphasizing he’s working with both sides. In California, unemployment pay is $450 per week for a maximum of 26 weeks. To be eligible for unemployment, Californians have to meet other requirements such as conducting a reasonable effort to search for work.
“By doing this, we’re giving one side an advantage,” said Essayli, who voted against the bill along with other Republicans. “You’re subsidizing, with tax dollars, the labor side.”
