AI Summary
This bill, the Striking and Locked Out Workers Healthcare Protection Act, amends the National Labor Relations Act to prohibit employers from terminating or altering the coverage of an employee under a group health plan during a lockout or a lawful strike. The bill defines a "group health plan" as defined in the Employee Retirement Income Security Act (ERISA). Additionally, the bill establishes civil penalties for employers who commit unfair labor practices related to coverage under a group health plan during a lockout or a lawful strike, with higher penalties for violations that coincide with the discharge of an employee or result in other serious economic harm, especially if the employer has a history of similar violations.
