Key Points
- Would bar employers from cutting or changing workers’ job-based health insurance during a lawful strike.
- Would also bar employers from cutting or changing coverage during a lockout, when the employer withholds work to pressure workers in bargaining.
- Treats ending or altering health coverage during strikes/lockouts as an illegal labor practice that can be penalized.
- Adds civil fines for employers who break the rule, with higher penalties for repeat violations and for cases causing serious harm.
- Allows the labor board to fine company directors or officers personally in some cases if they directed the violation or knowingly let it happen.
