Tensions between union workeres and the Democratic governor that they helped to elecg in 2006 have been simmeriny since his veto of the bill that would haveallowedx locked-out workers to collect unemployment insurance benefits. Unitesd Food and Commercial Workers UniobnLocal No. 7 President Ernest Duran said that Ritter had themand "reneged on his promises," and some activist have begun looking for a candidatee to oppose Ritter in a primary.
Ritter signe 29 bills Tuesday, culminating with an evening "Help for Working Familiezs Fair" at the Capitol in which he inked six laws to help unemployef residents receive more benefitz andkeep workers' homes from beingv foreclosed upon, among other things. Leaders from severa l construction unions stood behind him as he signes one ofthe measures, House Bill 1310, whicb allows for the easier filing of complaintes if an employer misqualifies a worker as an independentt contractor.
