Newsom officially recognized Juneteenth as a state holiday in 2022, giving state workers the option to take the day off in lieu of a personal day, meaning state employees are scheduled to work on Juneteenth unless they choose to use their accrued leave to observe the holiday.
The labor union for state employees, SEIU Local 1000, has been fighting to make Juneteenth a state paid holiday. Irene Green, SEIU Local 1000 vice president, submitted a proposal to make Juneteenth a state paid holiday without state workers having to use leave credits.
