Striking workers will not get unemployment checks in California after Gov. Gavin Newsom—citing the state’s depleted unemployment fund—vetoed legislation Sept. 30 that would have allowed it.
The measure—Senate (SB) Bill 799—was reintroduced Sept. 7 by Sen. Anthony Portantino (D-Burbank), in an effort, he said, to shorten strikes and get people back to work.
