Prohibits employers from terminating health coverage during strikes or lockouts.
The Striking and Locked Out Workers Healthcare Protection Act amends the National Labor Relations Act to prohibit employers from terminating or altering employee health coverage during lawful strikes or lockouts. It also imposes civil penalties for such violations, with amounts up to $75,000 for lockouts and $50,000 for strikes, doubling if serious economic harm results. The act defines "group health plan" and considers employer history and public interest when determining penalties.
