Organized labor is celebrating in California, after Governor Newsom signed most of the bills that union leaders fought for during the just-completed legislative session

The governor did veto more than 14% of the hundreds of bills that came to his desk, but he handed labor some key victories, in some cases, things the unions have wanted for years. 

Those include increasing how much working class Californians get paid when they take family leave, expanding what absences are covered by family leave, sick days and bereavement, making it easier for farmworkers to join a union and improving conditions and wages for fast food workers.

For more, KCBS Radio's Doug Sovern, Bret Burkhart and Patti Reising are joined by Lorena Gonzalez Fletcher, the longtime member of the State Assembly who left the legislature to take the helm of the California Labor Federation, where she is Executive Secretary-Treasurer.
