Chiang who is battling Schwarzenegger in court told the union workers there was no reason their pay should be cut to the federal minimum wage.
"We have enough money to pay all the state's obligations through the month of September and into October," Chiang told the cheering protestors.
The governor ordered the pay cuts to pressure state lawmakers into passing a state budget, which is six weeks overdue.
