State Reps. Michele Grim (D-Toledo) and Jessica E. Miranda (D-Forest Park) will hold a press conference to introduce the STAND UP Act (Strike Term Access to Negotiation Duration Unemployment Protection), legislation essential to the support of workers across the state of Ohio.

After the United Auto Workers' (UAW) strike for wage increases, new working conditions, and restored benefits, many were left without unemployment benefits. This legislation would allow striking workers to apply for unemployment compensation and benefits after two weeks of striking.
