The strike began in the private social services sector on 17 February
If you are employed and your work has been prevented due to the strike in question, you cannot receive earnings-related allowance; instead, you must apply for strike benefit from your trade union.
The strike declared by SuPer as part of Sote rf begins on Tuesday, and the other industrial actions announced by SuPer will continue. The purpose of the strike is to influence the terms and conditions of employment, and therefore members of the unemployment fund are not entitled to earnings-related daily allowance for the strike days.
If you are laid off and received notice of the layoff before the strike notice was issued, you are entitled to earnings-related daily allowance for the layoff days when a strike day falls on a previously announced layoff day. However, if the layoff is implemented by shortening the working week, you cannot receive earnings-related daily allowance for strike days that fall on working days. Strike days must be reported in the daily allowance application.
