Greetings, AB X3 23 and AB 1298 would bring more than $800 MILLION in Federal Aid to the Unemployment Insurance System!!!These bills would create a safety net for our unemployed Californians and their families. With a high of 7.8% unemployment rate in Orange County, why would they turn away 'Free Federal Money.' Without the passing of this bill, over 64,000 workers would lose their benefits by the end of the month. Orange County's Condition According to the State numbers, Orange County's unemployment rate increased by 4.8% from last year and we have lost over 72,300 jobs!!! -19,000 jobs lost in trade, transportation and utilities -16,700 lost construction jobs -400 lost jobs in manufacturing Call your State Representative today and tell them to VOTE for the "Saving the Unemployment Insurance Safety Net Bill" Go to link below for State Assembly Member Information http://oclabor.org/images/docs/UI.psf.pdf |
