Striking California Workers Would Get Unemployment Benefits Under Proposal


Listen Later

In Sacramento, it’s the final day of the legislative session -- and that means the fate of dozens of bills must be decided as the hours and minutes tick down. The Assembly and Senate have until midnight to send bills to the desk of Governor Gavin Newsom.

Reporter: Guy Marzorati, KQED 


 A $25 minimum wage is in sight for tens of thousands of California’s lowest-paid health workers. The wage hike would be for people like nursing assistants, medical techs and janitorial workers.

Reporter: Ana Ibarra, CalMatters
