Last Minute UCL Movement?

The SF Chronicle reports this morning on the behind-the-scenes machinations between the Governor and legislators to amend the UCL without resorting to Prop. 64. The article mentions that the Sierra Club is involved in the talks, and that the Governor is trying to protect his "green" reputation but does not explain if this means the reforms will have special provisions for environmental protection only. There is still no movement on SB 185 (the gut and amend vehicle for the reforms) as of this writing.

The LA Times notes the new federal overtime regulations are now in effect.
