We turn now to California's workforce, specifically the 3.5 million Californians who work part-time. In November, San Jose voters approved a first-in-the-nation ballot measure that would require employers to give existing workers first dibs on hours as they become available, before they hire a new part-time worker or contractor. San Diego Assemblywoman Lorena Gonzalez joins us to discuss a statewide bill she has introduced, modeled after San Jose's measure.
