Mandi, I am glad you are winning.
I did find, in NY, after searching, yes, the DOL is the agency who handles unemployment claims, I should have checked that first. I have never seen any fall under the chart system as NY has it, usually it is a seperate bureau??
Regardless, the main point is, the title "office politics" was merely suggestive in nature as to the reason, as I pointed out, they are NOT "words of art" and you will not find them in any legal lexicon.
