Protecting coverage during a strike? Pragmatic. Let’s keep people healthy while the talks talk on.

If you can strike for fair pay, you shouldn’t strike out on health insurance too; this bill is union support at its finest.

Striking workers already hold the hammer; this law just adds a sledgehammer against business freedom.

Protecting health care during strikes isn’t charity, it’s justice—workers deserve dignity, not deadlines.

Another layer of red tape—employers need flexibility, not a bandage for every labor wrangle.

Healthcare is expensive, but forcing coverage during strikes is just punishing employers for bargaining honestly.

This law balances the scales—keeping healthcare steady during labor disputes just makes good sense for all involved.

Finally, a bill that stops employers from kicking workers when they're down—health coverage should never be a bargaining chip.
