SB 1609 - Current law provides that claimants for unemployment benefits are ineligible for such benefits or any waiting week credit for any week for which such claimant's total or partial unemployment is due to a stoppage of work which exists because of a labor dispute in the factory, establishment, or other premises in which such claimant is or was last employed. This act repeals that provision and instead provides that a claimant shall not be ineligible for benefits based on the fact that the individual is participating in a strike or other labor dispute resulting in a stoppage of work at the factory, establishment, or other premises at which the individual is or was last employed.
