'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.
