AI Summary
This bill amends Section 25 of Chapter 151A of the General Laws to modify the provisions related to unemployment compensation and labor disputes. The key changes include: (1) exempting individuals from the 30-day waiting period for unemployment benefits if their employer hires a permanent replacement worker, unless the employer certifies the claimant can return to their prior position upon conclusion of the dispute; (2) clarifying that the payment of regular union dues or assessments does not constitute participating in or financing a labor dispute; and (3) specifying that employees shall not be denied benefits as a result of an employer's lockout if they are ready, willing, and able to work under the terms of the existing or expired contract, unless the employer can show the lockout is in response to repeated and substantial property damage or threats of such damage.
