Obligation to continue coverage during strike or layoff
Question: How would benefits and employees' pensions be affected by a strike or layoff? For example, are employers obligated to continue coverage during the strike (in the case of unionized workers) or layoff (for both union and non-union employees)? I know in the non-union context, employers can be on the hook if an employee becomes disabled during the reasonable notice period. Could similar liabilities arise for unionized employees during a strike or layoff?
