Washington Governor signs law allowing striking workers to receive unemployment benefits, starting 2026.
Washington state Governor Bob Ferguson signed a bill extending unemployment benefits to striking workers, effective January 1, 2026, through December 31, 2035.
The law allows striking workers to receive benefits after a 21-day waiting period, for up to six weeks, aiming to provide better bargaining conditions.
Washington joins New York and New Jersey in offering such benefits, though the measure faced opposition from businesses and Republicans who worry about increased costs.
The state's Employment Security Department must report annually on the impact of the law.
