Quoting
p ray law
I immediately went to my unemployment office and asked if I could quit because of the above-described circumstances and receive unemployment and the UI representative answered yes and told me to sign up for benefits.
A couple hours later, I telephoned my employer to see if he had cooled down and was told by management that I had been fired. I was denied unemployment insurance because my boss told them I quit. The Deputy determined that I "voluntarily left employment without good cause in connection with the work".
I never, at any time, told my employer that I quit. However, Indiana lists "good work-related" reasons for quitting as:
* employer arbitrarily changes the terms or conditions of your work.
* Safety violations at your work site.
* Harassment.
Finally, my boss had bragged that no-one would draw unemployment from him because of his powerful contacts and fact he is a Mason & a Jester which includes most judges. The initial judge who denied my claim, like my boss, is from India.
