Take Action: Unemployment for Employees on Strike

Take Action: Unemployment for Employees on Strike

December 11, 2025

Tell your lawmakers no increase in unemployment benefits for employed people

Pennsylvania legislators are considering a bill that would make striking workers eligible for Unemployment Compensation (UC) Benefits. Ultimately, the legislation would provide full benefits to those who have not lost their jobs, but who have voluntarily gone on strike. The bill has passed the House and is up for consideration in the Senate.

TAKE ACTION NOW! Tell your lawmakers this is bad legislation for small businesses and oppose increasing benefits to those employed. This proposal is so bad that California Governor Gavin Newsom vetoed a similar idea last year.
