Strike Pay?

If a strike lasts more than two(2) weeks, benefit payments are paid commencing with the 3rd week.
Strike benefits shall continue to be paid through the last day of the week in which the strike terminates.
As of January 1, 2005 the IAM’s strike benefits are $150.00 per week.
In your Negotiations Survival Guide on page 29 you will find the above information.
Also in order to receive strike benefits we are currently asking members to either walk the picket line or serve on a committee at least 4 hours each and every week.
