Allows striking workers to receive unemployment compensation under certain conditions.

This bill amends Vermont's unemployment compensation law to allow striking workers to receive unemployment benefits. It specifies that workers will not be disqualified if they are not participating in, financing, or directly interested in the labor dispute causing the work stoppage. Additionally, it exempts workers from disqualification if the stoppage is due to a lockout by the employer. The changes take effect upon passage.
