Plain-English Summary

This bill would ensure that workers who are on strike or locked out by their employers can continue to receive health insurance coverage during the labor dispute, rather than losing their benefits. It aims to protect striking and locked-out workers and their families from losing access to medical care while they are not receiving regular paychecks. The bill addresses a gap where workers engaged in labor actions often face the double hardship of lost wages and lost health coverage simultaneously.
