Kristy Tallman+FollowOREGON MAKES HISTORY — STRIKING WORKERS TO GET UNEMPLOYMENT BENEFITS STARTING 2026 Oregon is set to become the first state in the country to allow both private and public sector workers to collect unemployment benefits while on strike. Under Senate Bill 916, workers who are on strike can begin collecting benefits after a two-week waiting period and can receive up to 10 weeks of payments, starting Jan. 1, 2026 — a move supporters say will give workers more leverage in labor disputes. #Oregon #LaborLaw #UnemploymentBenefits #StrikingWorkers #WorkersRights51Share
