"California Unions Push for Unemployment Benefits for Striking Workers"

California Democrats are preparing to introduce legislation that would allow striking workers in the state to receive unemployment benefits. The proposal, backed by the California Labor Federation, aims to address the lack of unemployment insurance for striking workers in California, a situation that has drawn criticism. The bill is expected to face opposition from business interests, but proponents hope that the recent labor movements and focus on workers' rights will help propel it forward.

Supreme Court favors cement company over unions in strike damage dispute.

The Supreme Court ruled in favor of a cement mixing company that wants to sue a union in state court for property damage caused by striking workers, bypassing federal labor law. The decision could discourage workers from striking for fear of costly litigation in state court. The union argued that the case should be handled by a federal agency, but the court disagreed. The case is seen as another blow to unions by the conservative majority in recent years.
