Unfair how? It’s paid by employers, so kinda makes sense to me, i.e. employer caused the loss of livelihood, so they pay for the benefit to the recently unemployed.
Unemployment is not for when people decide to leave a job. It’s for when your employer lays you off. Going on strike is much different than being laid off.
In one hand, voluntary unemployment funded by taxes seems unfair.
On the other, fuck the man. The wealth imbalance needs to be fixed and this is a step in the correct direction.

Going on strike is voluntary.
If you earn more money on unemployment when striking than by actually working, there is a serious problem with how work is valued.
The employer is, presumably, willing to pay them to work, just not at the rate the workers want.
I’m not in or from the US, but I’m guessing unemployment doesn’t pay enough to live the good life? Should just be enough to keep you alive?
If you want to leave you shouldn’t worry about starving in the pursuit of better employment imo
Unemployment probably won’t even cover your bills, but will let you hemorrhage money slower
Then I really don’t see the issue. Not like people would willingly put themselves in that kind of situation without a reason
