Section 17-655-35 - Strikers(a) A striker shall be anyone involved in a strike or concerted stoppage of work by employees, including a stoppage by reason of the expiration of a collective-bargaining agreement, and any concerted slowdown or other concerted interruption of operations by employees.(b) Employees who are not participating in a strike but who are affected by a strike are considered nonstrikers and may be eligible for assistance. Examples include but are not limited to: (1) An employee affected by a lockout where the workplace is closed by the employer to resist demands of employees;(2) Employees unable to work as a result of striking employees. For example, a truckdriver who cannot work because the striking newspaper pressmen prevent newspapers from being printed; and(3) Employees who are not part of the bargaining unit on strike who do not want to cross a picket line due to fear of personal injury or death.(c) For the food stamp program, an individual exempt from work registration the day prior to the strike, other than those exempt solely on the basis that they are employed, shall not be deemed to be a striker.[Eff 3/19/93] (Auth: HRS § 346-14) (Imp: HRS § 346-14; 7 C.F.R. §273.1(g); 45 C.F.R. §233.106 )
