                return to work for the employer, out of a preference

                the individual is performing, has performed, or has 
                indicated a willingness to perform bargaining unit work 
                for the employer during the labor dispute.''.

        employee to an individual for performing work in a craft or 
        class for the carrier during a dispute which involves the craft 
        or class and which is between the carrier and the labor

            ``(2) offer or grant an individual any other employment 
        preference based on the fact that such individual performed

                bargaining representative involved in the dispute; and
                    ``(C) is working for, or has unconditionally 
                offered to return to work for, the carrier.''.
