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.

      No, a union is made up of workers and they vote on whether or not to strike.

      This bill would be like one good thing they do for workers, but of course they won’t because it would harm their “donors” who already have more than enough.
