Rapid Response Action Call: Massachusetts Steelworkers: Uplift Striking Workers

Click here for a printable PDF of this Action Call.

Strikes are a critical tool for workers, but they often come with severe financial strain – made worse when employers deliberately stall negotiations to force unfair deals. Legislation in Massachusetts (S.1319/H.2168) would guarantee unemployment insurance (UI) after 30 days on strike, providing stability for families, promoting fair bargaining, and costing less than one percent of total UI spending. It’s a commonsense fix that ensures workers aren’t punished for standing up for their rights.
