A bill moving through the California Assembly would provide unemployment compensation to employees who go out on strike.
Assembly Bill 1066 “would allow workers to collect unemployment benefits from weeks four through 26 of a prolonged strike,” reports the Sacramento Bee. “Unemployed workers can earn from $40 to $450 per week in unemployment benefits in California.”
The bill is authored by San Diego Democrat Lorena Gonzales, a former community organizer, activist and lawyer who, before being elected into the State Assembly, became secretary-treasurer and CEO of the San Diego-Imperial Counties Labor Council, AFL-CIO. Gonzales is also currently running for Secretary of State in California.
