Will I be paid during a strike or lockout?

If a strike is called or the Employer has locked out members, the Employer will no longer pay us. 

YUFA Strike Pay or Lockout Pay will be announced prior to the calling of a strike (it is non-taxable). To be eligible, members will participate for 4 days for 4 hours of onsite and/or remote participation (for those needing accommodation) in strike/lockout duties during weekdays. Members are encouraged to participate for 5 weekdays, if possible, although this would not result in additional strike pay. Members are also strongly encouraged to participate in in-person picketing on campus. Pro-rated strike pay will be available for reduced hours.

Members would also be expected to respect the picket line to receive strike pay. 

Members on work visas are entitled to participate in a legal strike and to not have their work permits affected.
