The Securing Help for Involuntary Employment Loss and Displacement (SHIELD) Act would make it a federal requirement that an individual applying for unemployment is not disqualified soley due to a "strike or other labor dispute," with the exception of a lockout. However, it would bar unemployment benefits if they individual is "providing financial support to or has a direct interest in" the dispute
