Thank you very much," Ritted said as he exited the packed west foyer ofthe .
Tensions between union workers and the Democratic governoer that they helped to elect in 2006 have been simmering since his veto of the bill that would haveallowedd locked-out workers to collect unemployment insurancd benefits. United Food and Commercial Workers UnionbLocal No. 7 President Ernest Duran said that Ritte rhad "betrayed" them and "reneged on his and some activists have begun looking for a candidater to oppose Ritter in a primary.
Ritte r signed 29 bills Tuesday, culminating with an eveningh "Help for Working Families Fair" at the Capitok in which he inked six laws to help unemployecd residents receive more benefits and keep workers homes from beingforeclosecd upon, among other things. Leaders from several constructionm unions stood behind him as he signed one of the HouseBill 1310, which allows for the easier filing of complaints if an employer misqualifies a worker as an independenty contractor.

He noted that a bill he signeds Tuesdayregarding electricians' education standards was similar to one he vetoeds in 2008 while telling competingg sides on the measure that they neededf to work out a compromise -- which they did this "I also think that public policyy should not be used to interrupt negotiations," Ritter told the which included about 25 UFCW workers alonyg with proponents of the bills being signed.
