Contributing sentiments towards policy:
62% : Labor unions had argued that the amount of workers on strike for more than two weeks is so small it would not have had a significant impact on the state's unemployment trust fund.61% : "At a time when public support of unions and strikes are at an all-time high, this veto is out-of-step with American values.
54% : "This veto tips the scales further in favor of corporations and CEOs and punishes workers who exercise their fundamental right to strike," said Lorena Gonzalez Fletcher, executive secretary-treasurer of the California Labor Federation.
53% : The bill would have let workers who were on strike for at least two weeks receive unemployment checks from the state, which can be as much as $450 per week.
36% : But that tax only applies to the first $7,000 of workers' wages, a figure that has not changed since 1984 and is the lowest amount allowed under federal law.
