    Default Unemployment in Florida

    Okay so I started with a company everything was going great and I was always told I was doing a good job all the time. After two months we got a new supervisor. When he came in it seemed as if there was some tension but I didnt take too much action on it. After a talk with him the first day I saw a dominican flag on his truck and asked him you must be from the dominican republic. He asked what I was I told him I was puerto Rican, It all went down hill from there. Everyday for 1 week was a constant battle with him I was harassed, intimidated always being told if I want my job I better do the work right and constantly having him there with me telling me he didnt like me and he didnt like my work at all and i shouldnt be there. He at one point was talking to someone i dont think he knows I was there but I heard him say " I hate this little F***in puerto rican kid I cant wait to get rid of him. I was working and up he came and said to me "I dont like you and I hate the work you do get outta here your fired. Now I live in a right to work state and so I tried to file for unemployment insurance but havent heard anything yet. What will happen to the unemployment and what can i do about this guy.

    Default Re: Unemployment in Florida

    You mean "at will employment", not "right to work", but neither of those are a pre-requisite to filing for UI benefits.

    Unless the employer can show misconduct to the extent that it would disqualify you from benefits, you should get them.

    You MIGHT have a wrongful termination case. See an attorney versed in employment law.
