I do not know. But I wonder: * If on strike can you apply for unemployment ? I do not think so, but IIRC the Union will pay you something if on strike. Maybe you can get food stamps ? * With the ACA, you should be able to get health care while on strike. Maybe there are special laws for that.

Strike pay is often a part of union dues. It's typically paid out to workers who are on the picket line a given number of hours per week. Strike pay is not particularly lucrative. It looks like it's $500/week for the UAW. Local communities will often come together to help out striking employees. A particular credit union near my former employer would pause mortgage payments during a strike for impacted workers. https://uaw.org/strike-faq/ https://uaw.org/strike-faq/
