butler has also served as a union president for seiu local 2015, the union that represents thousandsrs. >> this is a solid pick by the governor. laphonza butler has impeccable credentials, she's well known from her work with emily's list, from her work on labor and campaigns in california. she's well respected up and down the state. i think she'll make a great representative. she'll represent california well in the senate. >> reporter: as the welcomes come in, the nation also bids farewell to the longest-serving woman in the senate. senator dianne feinstein came home to the city she loved this weekend, san francisco. she will lie in state at san francisco city hall wednesday, which will be open to the public. then on thursday a funeral service will be held at the war memorial and performing arts center. that service will not be open to the public, but it will be streamed online and as early as this morning, those who want to continue to pay their respects to the late senator can do so at city hall. you can sign condolence books. that is open to the public and that will begin at 10:00

the union has evolved here, seiu primarily, although other unions and others.ous of what they are doing here. they are doing a three-day strike. they notified the company in advance. we are walking out for three days to show you how needed we are and also in hopes that you will be encouraged to bargain more aggressively to get this contract done. the hospitals are prepared for this. they have canceled or delayed many lesser procedures. they have got doctors in place. so i don't think you are looking at a situation like there is going to be a health care crisis for patients in this short term. i guess you are at a situation where the union understands very well that there are patients involved and they have to be concerned about that. the company does. and so there is an attempt here to, i think, communicate a seriousness as regards these negotiations. the union folks don't want the negotiations to just drag out forever and to have no progress. so i think that's why you are seeing the three-day strike. >> public support for the auto workers is sky high. we will

i first met her when she was a labor leader with seiu and she was a very important voice. even then. and she's only grown in influence nationally. now, since then, allison says bowler have worked together behind the scenes to support women of color leaders, including vice president kamala harris, the first black woman to represent california in the united states senate. butler's appointment fulfilling the promise made back when vice president harris vacated her seat in 2021. to fill a senate vacancy with a black woman are activism and our advocacy has worked and the senate the country's better for it. democrats of sacramento counties communities agrees she tells fox 40 that butler's work running emily's list is a good sign that represent what she calls california's values. well, given that emily's list not only is focused on women, but he's really focused on advancing abortion rights and reproductive justice. >> that's so important. now that's more important than it's ever been. you know, since the 1970's to these women butler seems like the right choices to see dianne fei

she's also the former president of the seiu united long term care workers union and was a member of the uc board of regents for more than 5 years now on top of all of that, she was a democratic party strategist who was a long careers california politics. she will be the only black woman serving in the u.s. senate and the first openly lgbtq+ person to represent california in the senate as well. we spoke with loyola law school professor jessica levinson about why this was such an important pick. >> so i think that ms butler is a smart pick because governor newsom is essentially able to make good on both of his promises. he said i'm not going to pick somebody who's actively running in the race. he didn't want to put his on the scale. and he also said i'm going to pick a black woman, the pick, a black woman who is also at the forefront of issues. he cares about about gender equality, about reproductive choice. and so i think for the governor, this pick makes a lot of sense. it also makes sense because senate democrats need another person there. they cannot be down a body and we expect that
