Federally regulated workplaces will soon be banned from bringing in replacement workers during a legal strike, after the Senate passed a government bill on June 17 that is now set to become law.

The bill—known as “anti-scab” legislation—also sets a fine of up to $100,000 a day for employers who have replaced striking workers.
