Senate Approves Bill Eliminating Unemployment Benefits for Workers on Strike
The Senate has approved a bill that changes the eligibility requirements for unemployment benefits for striking workers.
The chamber approved Senate Bill 222, 22 to 11, with one Senator absent on Wednesday.
The bill clarifies existing law to make sure that workers who voluntarily go on strike during a labor dispute cannot receive unemployment compensation.
Workers who are locked out of their jobs or who are permanently replaced by their employers are still able to claim unemployment under the bill.
