I gather you haven't made this bill specific to that situation; you've made it general. If I understand what you're trying to say here, it is that the qualifying period from when they were working would be extended by the same amount of time or number of days that they may be on strike or lockout. In essence, you're indirectly attempting to qualify a person by using the hours that they are on strike, notwithstanding that they're not available for work for that particular employer and in fact are not engaged, so to speak, in that enterprise.
Am I understanding that correctly?
