S.1319 and H.2168 will help level the playing field for workers and hold irresponsible employers accountable.

This legislation allows employees forced to strike to be eligible for unemployment benefits after 30 days of being on the picket line, standardizing the benefits eligibility of workers engaged in labor disputes.

Passing UI for striking workers will result in working people keeping money in their pockets during a prolonged strike and will hold companies accountable for using financial stress and strain as a weapon against their workers during a strike, ultimately averting more strikes without major costs increases to our UI fund.
