California won’t be giving unemployment checks to workers on strike. While state lawmakers passed a bill to make California the third state to do this, Democratic Gov.
That’s true though. It used to be that a general strike would have a big impact on an industry, but with the wealth that the companies have accumulated in past decades, it’s not even enough to strike anymore.
The real answer to this would be a universal basic income for everybody. If you’re either fired, laid off, on strike or voluntarily quit, you should still receive a sufficient form of income.
People sometimes quit for good reasons like toxic environnements or for health reasons or because they need to take care of someone. They shouldn’t be penalized.
UAW is applying zero pressure to UC after they misappropriated money to spread anti-union propaganda, retaliated against the students at UCSD by having them arrested, and violated our bylaws at basically every point in this process.
