  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

  Despicable pandering to business and anti-worker

  De-escalation is for violence, not labor strikes. Go on a bigger strike in response.

  It brings balance to the employer-employee relationship

  Because that’s certainly currently weighted towards the employee side of things, right? Right??

  We don’t strike by choice, we strike by necessity.
