Newsom seeks off-ramp to California’s billionaire tax push

California Governor Gavin Newsom is quietly pursuing an off-ramp with SEIU‑UHW’s billionaire wealth tax initiative to avert a November ballot fight, but no deal is imminent. Newsom opposes the current proposal, arguing it could harm California’s economy and tax base, while unions say the measure is needed to address federal cuts and prevent healthcare job losses; the battle could shape state finance and Silicon Valley dynamics and may influence Newsom’s political standing ahead of a possible 2028 run.

"Upcoming Strike Threatens Largest US Health Care Workforce"

The labor contract for over 75,000 unionized health care workers across five states and Washington, DC, is set to expire, potentially leading to the largest health care strike in US history. The workers, who are part of a coalition of eight unions, plan to strike from October 4 to October 7 if a labor deal is not reached. While hospital management, doctors, and registered nurses are not part of the strike, patients at Kaiser Permanente facilities may be affected. The coalition is asking for raises, job protections, updates to retiree benefits, and a plan to address staffing shortages. Negotiations are ongoing, with a deadline set for Saturday night.
