Bill > S1191

This bill amends Chapter 151A of the General Laws to modify the provisions related to unemployment compensation and labor disputes. Specifically, it removes the 30-day waiting period for unemployment benefits if the employer hires a permanent replacement worker for the claimant's position. The bill also provides exceptions to the 30-day waiting period if the labor dispute is caused by the employer's failure to comply with an agreement or contract, including a collective bargaining agreement. Additionally, the bill clarifies that the payment of regular union dues or assessments does not constitute participation in or financing of a labor dispute, and it also addresses situations where an employee is locked out by the employer.
