When Lorena Gonzalez Fletcher resigned from the Legislature last year to become the state’s top union official, it marked a new era of labor’s political influence in a state where just 17% of workers belong to unions.
The increased militancy this year coincided with a wave of strikes and threats of strikes in several California industries – most spectacularly film production. It also took advantage of having a governor, Gavin Newsom, who publicly aligned himself with unions’ political goals, and the advent of a new pro-union Assembly speaker, Robert Rivas.
The California Labor Federation, which she heads, counted passage of 13 bills it sponsored, including its top priority measure that extends unemployment insurance benefits to striking workers. The federation’s count didn’t include several other union-sponsored measures, including those that set new minimum wages for fast food and health care workers after compromises were negotiated with the affected industries. Nor does it count a union-backed constitutional amendment that would, if approved by voters, make it much tougher to impose new restrictions on tax increases, aimed at undercutting a 2024 business-backed ballot measure.
