Relating to unemployment insurance benefits for employees unemployed due to a labor dispute.
What changed between versions
Workers unemployed due to a strike must now wait one week before becoming eligible for benefits, in addition to the standard unpaid waiting week.
The number of weeks a striking worker can receive benefits depends on the unemployment insurance fund's financial health at the time the strike begins, with more weeks allowed if the fund is in better financial condition.
Removed provisions that allowed certain workers to receive benefits even if they were unemployed due to a lockout, replacing them with more specific eligibility criteria.
Added requirements for school districts to deduct unemployment benefits from employees' future wages if those benefits were received during a labor dispute.
Updated definitions in the unemployment insurance chapter to clarify terms like 'benefit year' and 'contribution'.
