What it would have done
Summary by the , the Legislature's nonpartisan drafting office. It's their wording, not ours.
Currently, an employee who leaves or partially or totally loses his or her work with an employer because of a strike or other bona fide labor dispute, other than a lockout, is not eligible to receive unemployment insurance (UI) benefits based on the wages paid to the employee prior to the beginning of the dispute for any week in which the dispute is in active progress in the establishment in which the employee is or was employed.
This bill permits such an employee to receive UI benefits while a labor dispute is in active progress if the employee is otherwise eligible to receive benefits and the employee is not participating in the dispute and is not a member of the grade or class of workers (usually a collective bargaining unit) of which, immediately before the dispute, there were members employed with the employee's employer, any of whom are participating in the dispute.
