the strike, in the event the strike terminates prior to the conclusion
of the employee's eligibility for benefit rights under this chapter. In
the event the employer does not permit such return after such
certification, the employee shall be entitled to recover any benefits
lost as a result of the two week suspension of benefits, and the
department may impose a penalty upon the employer of up to seven hundred
fifty dollars per employee per week of benefits lost. The penalty
collected shall be paid into the unemployment insurance control fund
established pursuant to section five hundred fifty-two-b of this
article; or

in the industrial controversy; or
(B) is not in a bargaining unit involved in the industrial controversy
that caused his or her unemployment and is not participating in the
industrial controversy.
