Another poster suggests that the strike is actually a walkoutWM: I think it's a lock-out in that employees were asked to clean out their lockers and Bell refuses to negotiate.
the "Met Council refused to negotiate further." I've supervised unionWizardMarks, Central
preparations for a possible strike by the Star Tribune Guild unit
through several rounds of contract talks. My understanding of a lockout
is that the employer tells employees not to report for work, and
prevents them from doing so. In that case, workers would be eligible
for unemployment compensation. I don't think that applies here.
