    You had your due process. Just because you don't agree with it, doesn't make it invalid.

    Actually, I haven't had any Due Process because I can't afford to go to Court and the non-responsiveness of the agency involved.

    How difficult is it to start a not for profit venture to file a class action?

    Or, how difficult is it to do this on a pro se basis, for free?

    The fact you didn't avail yourself of what was available doesn't mean you didn't have it.

    Why do you think you need to do this. Even if you had a cause a "not for profit venture" is neither required, nor does it fulfill the needs to have a class action. It's harder to form a class action than it is for your individual suit. There's a bunch of things you need to have to have a class action that you don't have:

    1. You have to have an ascertainable class. You can't just say "I'm suing on behalf of all the downtrodden people in my situation." You have identify a specific group of people.
    2. You have to show that there are so many people in that class that you can't just sue on their individual behalfs. For instance, if something bad happens that affects me and my five neighbors, we'd have to join together for an action listing each of us rather than using a class action
    3. You have to show commonality. It's not enough that the "system" has harmed all these people. You'd have to show that the specific person you're suing (this particular police departement or whatever) is common toa ll of them.
    4. You have to show typicality. That is that all the actions, had they been brought invidually, have the same issues involved and the same prosecutions or defenses (i.e., cookie cutters of each other).
    5. You have to show that YOU as the person bringing the suit adquately represents all the others in the class.
    ...just to name a few.

    Or, how difficult is it to do this on a pro se basis, for free?
    Impossible, pro se. You might be able to convince an attorney to take it on a contingent fee basis IF YOU HAD A CASE THAT HE COULD REMOTELY WIN. The problem is your case is so specious, that no attorney would risk his license even filing something so frivolous.

    This all ignores the fact that YOU DON'T HAVE A CASE for even your specific case, let alone to support a class action.

    Yes, it does; and, it is still an outstanding issue.

    To raise money in that manner and fashion.

    It is about equal protection of the law.

    It has an impact on the Poor and seeks to correct unequal protection of the law for Labor as the least wealthy in our Republic.

    How does a class action work on contingency?

    Any class action attorneys who work on contingency?

    Creating an organization doesn't generate money. Creating an organization is easy. Getting money is hard. Convincing your state and the feds that you should be tax-exempt is slightly harder (especially since all I'm seing this point is a private benefit motive). But getting people to donate to your cause is going to be the hard part.

    You had equal protection under the law. Just because you think you were treated unfairly doesn't put you in an "unequal protection" under the law.

    Again, just as no attorney will take you on a contingent fee for a class action because:
    1. You don't have a class
    2. You don't have a case that's winnable.

    I may need more money to afford better attorneys. Doctors at law may be inadequate and I may need, "surgeons at law".

    And, equal protection of the law is in our Constitutions and must protect any class involved or harmed by unequal protection of the law.

    Equal protection of the law should be a "slam dunk" for any competent attorney.
    Obviously you are not going to get the validation that you want on the Expertlaw forums. You might consider doing some actual studying while you are saving up the money for an attorney.

    That is the whole point about unemployment compensation on an at-will basis in our at-will employment States. Anyone should be able to hire an attorney if they are willing to budget for it. Not having recourse to equal protection of the law for unemployment compensation on an at-will basis in our at-will employment States is detrimental to the Poor and our free State and it's security.
    This is not a problem that you can address in the courts. Unemployment compensation is a program created by state legislatures and the rights to benefits are defined solely by the rules of that state. There is no constitutional right to unemployment compensation nor any federal law that compels a state to even have such a system. As a result there is nothing the courts could do for you on this. You have to get your state legislature to change the rules to be more to your liking. So don't waste your time suing. Instead, put your money and energy into trying to convince your state legislators to enact the rules you want.

    And, by the way, this is not something that you could do as a class action even if there was some court remedy here to achieve what you want to do.
