Relates to enacting the worker healthcare protection act, for New Yorkers who lose health care coverage from an employer or a joint labor management trust as a result of an active strike, lockout, or other labor dispute.

The bill, known as the Worker Healthcare Protection Act, aims to protect New Yorkers who lose their health care coverage due to strikes, lockouts, or other labor disputes. It ensures that employees can maintain access to necessary healthcare during such labor actions. This legislation is intended to provide stability and security for workers facing disruptions in their employment.

Supporters of the Worker Healthcare Protection Act argue that it is a crucial measure for safeguarding workers' health and well-being during labor disputes.
