California Governor Gavin Newsom on Saturday vetoed a bill that would have paid unemployment benefits to striking workers, and had drawn strong support from labor unions and from his fellow Democrats in the state legislature.

Fuck you, Newsome. I think pay for striking workers would be overwhelmingly popular with voters. I’m voting against this turkey next chance I get.

    Makes sense, I don’t get unemployment pay for quitting due to low pay or my benefits not being good enough, this seems like a benefit the union should provide

      yeah, isn’t that the point of unions?

        Don’t ask them that. That means they actually have to pay out.

          It’s like the union bosses are living a stereotype of a certain group of people who horde gold shekels.
