The California governor rejected financial aid for the workers who would've needed it as they're striking for better working conditions.
, California governor Gavin Newsom vetoed the bill on Saturday night. While previously having voiced his support for unions , Newsom rejected the bill because California’s unemployment benefits fund is expected to be $20 billion in the hole by the end of 2023. The fund reportedly ran out of money during early COVID and from massive amounts of unemployment fraud—and not enough money has been collected to pay all the owed benefits.
Those checks can go as high as $450 a week, a number that labor organizers argued was so small it wouldn’t make that much of an impact on the unemployment fund. Lorena Gonzalez Fletcher, who operates as the executive secretary-treasurer for the state’s labor federation, said Newsom’s veto “tips the scales further in favor of corporations and CEOs and punishes workers who exercise their fundamental right to strike.
