From the Sacramento Bee:
Six months after the decision was made, Darrell Steinberg – a former labor lawyer and unabashed liberal – was formally elected Senate president pro tem Thursday in a unanimous voice vote by his colleagues.
Steinberg is not on the Senate’s Labor and Industrial Relations Committee and none of his Legislation this session is primarily related to labor and employment. So, it’s hard to say, what, if any effect this will have on the labor law pipeline.
If I had to guess, I’d say that Steinberg goes to the mat on more employment bills than Perata did, but we still won’t see major changes until after 2010.
