I think it’s selfish. How many of those jobs could have gone to someone who actually needs one? It’s essentially job hoarding. If you’re that much of a productive genius, why don’t you (the people with multiple well-paying jobs, not you personally) volunteer or start your own business and do something to actually improve the world instead of just hoarding wealth.
Yeah Oregon and Washington just passed this, it doesnt even take effect until next year.
From the WA State Standard: “Workers will be eligible for unemployment benefits starting 15 to 21 days after the strike begins, depending on the day the strike starts. If the contract is resolved before that time, benefits will not be issued.”
So basically only if the strike goes on for several weeks, and also if the strikers get any retroactive pay then they have to pay back the unemployment. No one can just “strike for a day” and get paid like they’re claiming.
