California Democrats Want to Give Unemployment Benefits to Hollywood Strikers
Democrats in California are preparing to propose the idea of extending unemployment benefits to workers who are on strike. Obviously, this is being motivated mainly by the Hollywood actors and writers who are on strike.
Normally, benefits of this kind would only go to workers who have been let go by their employers.
This is nothing more than Democrats trying to throw a lifeline to people who they know are part of their core voters. It’s also worth noting that California’s unemployment insurance program is already broke.
