Empowering Striking Workers Act of 2025 allows striking workers to receive unemployment benefits.
The Empowering Striking Workers Act of 2025 amends the Internal Revenue Code and the Social Security Act to enable individuals engaged in a labor dispute to receive unemployment benefits. This applies to those unable to work due to a labor dispute, including controversies over employment terms or conditions, or association in negotiating employment terms. Benefits begin 14 days after a strike starts, when a lock-out begins, when employers hire permanent replacements, or when the dispute ends and the individual becomes unemployed.
