Bill > SB00524

This bill proposes to amend existing state law (specifically chapter 567 of the general statutes) to prevent striking workers from receiving unemployment compensation or any other form of state-provided payment during a labor dispute. Essentially, the legislation would prohibit workers who are on strike from collecting unemployment benefits, which are typically designed to support workers who have lost their jobs through no fault of their own. By blocking these payments to striking workers, the bill aims to potentially discourage prolonged labor strikes or reduce the financial support available to workers during work stoppages. The bill does not provide detailed exceptions or specifics about how this prohibition would be implemented, but it represents a clear legislative effort to limit state financial assistance to workers who are actively engaged in a work stoppage as part of a labor dispute.
