ELI5— what this means for you
Strikes and lockouts that skip the required procedures (notice, vote, cooling-off period) are illegal. Workers who knowingly commit illegal acts during a strike can be permanently dismissed. Mere participation in a lawful strike cannot be grounds for dismissal.
Key point
Participating in a lawful strike cannot get you fired. Committing violence during a strike can.
