Unemployment Benefits Denied - How to Appeal

[anthonyp82]

I was denied my unemployment benefits. I would like to appeal. I feel I was retaliated against and do have some proof: I was given a write-up on 1/7/2010 and then not given any other notice regarding my attendance until my termination on 5/7/2010. Prior to this termination, I had voiced my concerns in being transferred to a work site in Orange County CA, which would have posed a great difficulty to me (when I was hired, I was told I would only be required to work in downtown Los Angeles.)

I would like to appeal this but would like to know if anyone else has fought a case like this and won?

I'm in Los Angeles CA

So, DID you have attendance problems?

So, DID you have attendance problems?

after the write up on 1-7-10 and until I was fired on 5-11-10, I had been late during that time, but was never told anything from my boss or HR, all they would do is tell me what a good job I was doing at the sites I was at, it was only after I told me boss that I couldn't make it to our orange county office since I had my car in the shop, that he tore me a new backside and told me I'd be sorry if I don't make it there, then I was told by my HR that it was fine I didn't make it to the OC office, to just go to a different LA office, two days after that I was fired. they never talked to me or anything any of the times I was late, even after I was about 3 hours late, they also used dates I was written up for on 1-7-10, some of the dates I was also out due to a work injury, all the dates I had doctors appointments and was taken off work by the doctor were used in the in write up for my termination. Also after I was late that 3 hours I was told it is dont worry about as long as Im there its ok.

Please check your PMs.

You can appeal, but don't count on winning.

You were fired for cause. No unemployment.

You can try to argue, minimize, or object to the details, but sorry none of that matters. There are no requirements for specific warnings or anything else unless you have an employment contract or are a member of a union.
