The federal effort comes after California Gov. Gavin Newsom vetoed state legislation to provide unemployment for striking workers.
The political fight over whether workers on strike should be allowed to collect unemployment benefits is reigniting in Washington. U.S. Rep. Adam Schiff, a California Democrat who is running for Senate, is planning to introduce legislation on Tuesday that would provide unemployment benefits nationwide to workers on strike. Most states don’t allow striking workers to collect unemployment with the exception of New York and New Jersey.
Newsom said he did so because of financial concerns, a move highly criticized by labor leaders. California borrowed billions of dollars from the federal government to cover unemployment benefits, and the state's unemployment fund debt was projected to be nearly $20 billion by the end of the year. California’s unemployment pay is $450 a week for a maximum of 26 weeks.
