Strike pay

Strike pay

Strike pay (or "strike fund") is the name of payments made by a trade union to workers who are on strike.

In the United Kingdom

Whilst some trade unions make payments to members who are on an official strike there is no requirement to do so. The UK government makes the presumption that workers on official strike action are being paid strike pay, and so they may not be entitled to state benefits.
