Tax Cut for Striking Workers Act of 2025

This bill would change federal tax law so that strike benefits paid to individual union members are not counted as taxable income. Strike benefits are payments a tax-exempt labor union makes to its members to replace, fully or partly, the wages they lose during a strike, a lockout, or a work stoppage under the Railway Labor Act. The bill also updates the Earned Income Tax Credit rules to refer to these benefits, alongside an existing rule for military combat pay. The changes would apply to payments received after December 31, 2025.
