Hello,
I have been initially denied unemployment benefits due to alleged misconduct.I was told by my supervisor that i was fired for discussing
wages and he claimes that i demanded to know the wages of other
employees and was hollering at them!This is his and the H.R.'s dpt.
basis and reason for termination.My supervisor was not present when
the alleged hollering occured and wrote that he recieved this information
from the testimony of other first hand witnesses.These witnesses make no mention of any hollering but that i was upset that i had found out i was being paid less than co-workers with less tenure and who were not as skilled.
The NLRB has logged a complaint for violating a protected activity
i.e. wage discussion because the employeer in a written statement to the
unemployment office claimed they had a policy that forbid the discussion of wages.
There is a appeal hearing scheduled on march 10 2010 to resolve the
unemployment issue.I would like suggestions as to how to win this appeal
please respond and if you have any further questions to clarify i will reply
Thank You.
