Quoting

The best I can offer you is a cautious - maybe. PA is kind of weird about benefits for reductions in wages or hours.
You might. You might not. But to maximize your chances if you decide to quit, DO NOT WORK ONE SINGLE HOUR under the new contract. I am absolutely not guaranteeing that as long as you do not work at the new contract, you will definitely get benefits - it is by no means certain that you will.
But if you work at the new contract AT ALL, your chances of collecting unemployment, not overly high to start with, plummets to zero.
