eligibility for workers who are poor enough to qualify before going on strike, but against eligibility for strikers who don't qualify when they're working (good faith effort to work is a SNAP requirement).

Does this bill somehow get around that, such as based on different legal reasoning, or is it dead out of the gate, even if it could be got through the house? In any case, good to see more media coverage of worker rights.
