Bill overview
This bill, the Striking and Locked Out Workers Healthcare Protection Act, aims to protect workers’ healthcare coverage during labor disputes. Specifically, it amends the National Labor Relations Act to prohibit employers from terminating or altering an employee’s health insurance coverage while they are locked out or participating in a lawful strike. The bill also establishes civil penalties for employers who violate these protections, with penalties potentially doubling in cases involving employee discharge or significant economic harm.
