California state worker union backs Newsom anti-recall effort in sign of labor's support

SACRAMENTO, Calif. — A California state union's big donation to defend Gov. Gavin Newsom from recall likely heralds a coming show of support from organized labor, according to union representatives and experts.

The Professional Engineers in California Government, which represents about 11,000 state engineers, recently contributed $250,000 to the main campaign committee supporting Newsom.

Last week, the Secretary of State's Office announced the recall campaign had submitted enough valid signatures to qualify for the ballot, a milestone that is expected to usher in more money from Democratic-leaning groups supporting the governor.

Planning is underway to fire up a campaign machine that has lain largely dormant amid the pandemic, said Steve Smith, a spokesman for the California Labor Federation.
