Final Answer :
False
Explanation :
During a lockout, employers cannot hire permanent replacements for the workers who are locked out. A lockout is a work stoppage initiated by the employer to pressure the union into accepting the employer's terms. Hiring permanent replacements is generally allowed in the case of a strike, not a lockout.
