Earlier this month, Steve Hulett blogged about AB 10, the bill passed by the California Legislature and signed by Gov. Schwarzenegger that strips overtime protection from high-tech workers, including many non-union CG artists and technicians.
AB 10 passed the Senate by a vote of 28 to 8, and the Assembly by a vote of 56 to 19. AB 10 was virtually unprecedented in that it was a bill affecting private-sector workers that was rammed through as part of the state budget "compromise". Along with the entire Republican delegations of both houses, a large number of Democrats voted in favor of AB 10, most of whom were motivated by the push to approved a budget quickly under the threat of the Governor's veto pen.
Below, courtesy of the California Labor Federation, is the roll call of the Assembly and Senate on AB 10.
The "no" votes in favor of protecting overtime are marked in blue -- these are the "good guys".
The "yes" votes in favor of stripping overtime provisions are marked in red -- these are the "bad guys".
Abstentions and absences are in grey.

Great! More flexibility between worker and employer without state mandated schedules.
Thanks for highlighting this important bill!
The more and more I see worker abuse like this, the more I want to run my own business instead of working for someone else. :^(
I like where I work now as a LightWave 3D artist. If it ends, though, I should either work only union jobs (a.k.a.: "Learn Maya") or work solely for myself.
I hope that animators take this opportunity to email their representatives; I know I did.
No one is gonna help us except ourselves. Rolling over and taking the crap the studios shell out hasn't worked for us too well this decade.
SAY something about it.
You have no clue about the unintended consequences of this bill... it is poorly worded and non-specific.
