(1) A strike is a
work stoppage, slowdown or other interruption of work caused by employees. This
includes when a stoppage happens because a collective bargaining agreement has
expired.
(2) We do not consider you
to be on strike if you:
(a) Are locked out by
your employer;
(b) Do not have work
available as a result of striking employees;
(c) Are not a member of the bargaining unit
on strike and you fear someone may physically hurt you if you cross a picket
line; or
(d) Would have been exempt
from work registration under WAC
388-444-0010
the day before the strike for any reason other than being employed at least
thirty hours per week.
(3) If a person in your assistance unit (AU)
is a striker, your AU is not eligible for Basic Food unless:
(a) Your AU met all income requirements the
day before the strike; and
(b) You
meet all other requirements of the Basic Food program as described in WAC
388-400-0040.
(4) If someone in your AU is on strike, your
AU cannot receive a higher amount of Basic Food benefits solely because the
person receives less income as a direct result of being on strike. We count the
larger of the two following amounts to determine if your AU is eligible and
calculate your benefits:
(a) The striker's
income before they went on strike; or
(b) The striker's current
income.
