California Lawmakers Revive Push for Striking Workers Unemployment Benefits

Debate Ignites as California Senate Advances Bill for Striking Workers Unemployment Benefits

California lawmakers want to help workers who are on strike. Last year, they tried to pass a law but the governor said no because it would cost too much money. Now, they’re trying again with a similar law called SB 1116. It passed an important committee vote recently.

The new law aims to give striking workers some money to help them during strikes. It’s not their full pay, but it’s meant to help them survive while they negotiate for better wages and contracts. Right now, California gives up to $450 a week in unemployment money for up to 26 weeks, according to the report of KNX News.

The bill is supported by labor groups who say it’s fair to help workers who are fighting for better conditions. But some Americans worry it will make the state’s money problems worse by costing millions of dollars. As the bill moves forward there will likely be more debate about whether it’s the right move for California.
