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.
In rejecting the bill, Newsom noted that the state’s unemployment trust fund is already nearing $20 billion in debt.
“Now is not the time to increase costs or incur this sizable debt,” he wrote in a message explaining his veto.
Yup makes sense. The title could mention this at all. Knew there had to be some reason, because it’s stupid to do that with him posturing for president in the next run. I’d rather him have vetoed it and said if you want this passed then it needs to include further funding for the unemployment fund.
You read the article?!? This place really isn’t like Reddit at all.
Honestly tho, this is why unions have dues and memberships, rainy day funds and their own officers and treasury.
Unions are more than just '“walking out”.
Yeah it’s literally called a strike fund

Citizens who are literally choosing not to work, in this case.

I’m honestly surprised that Newsom did this veto. What a slap in the face to his constituent base!
Why? The other comments list a bunch of perfectly good reasons for this veto
