(820 ILCS 30/2) (from Ch. 48, par. 2f)
    Sec. 2. No person shall knowingly employ any professional strikebreaker in the place of an employee, whose work has ceased as a direct consequence of a lockout or strike, or knowingly contract with a day and temporary labor service agency to provide a replacement for the employee, during any period when a lockout or strike is in progress. Nor shall any professional strikebreaker take or offer to take the place in employment of employees involved in a lockout or strike.
    Nothing in this amendatory Act of the 93rd General Assembly shall be construed to prohibit the continued employment of a day or temporary laborer by an employer if the day or temporary laborer had already been assigned to work for the employer at the time the strike or lockout began.
