Thanks for sharing your ignorance of the law with us.

1)Most states - fired without good cause = employee can collect unemployment benefits. You fire your secretary for going from blonde to redhead - you’ll probably be hit with a valid claim.

2)Some states - fire for incompetence (not misconduct or malfeasance) = employee can collect unemployment benefits. See, for example, Michigan. http://www.michigan.gov/uia/0,4680,7-118-30224_1534-78891—F,00.html

Hope you hired competent HR folks when you were an employer.

My wife has worked in the unemployment office for 30 years.
I have been hiring people for 40 years.

Thanks for the lesson that you most likely got by googling a general question.

You gave a (false) general proposition. Perhaps you live in a rare state that doesn’t provide benefits to victims of a petty or vindictive boss. If so, you should so limit your response.

I gave an accurate general statement that comes from decades of dealing with employees. But I appreciate your answer inspired by a two second google search. .

Aren't there many such states? Otherwise known as "free" states?

My home state of Florida is a "right to work" state; it's also a state where you can be terminated for any reason, or no reason, which is perfectly reasonable. Barring a formal contract, nobody has an unalienable right to hold a job at a given employer.

No employer should be forced to hire or retain any employee, barring a binding contract which specifies the procedures by which issues are resolved.

Isn't such common sense the norm in the United States?

I’ve never collected unemployment, so I’m not positive how easy it is to collect here in Florida. I just know that in this state you can be terminated for virtually any non-discriminatory reason, and have it be considered legitimate.

Right to work states are probably no worse than other states for the discharged employee. Yes, they can be let go on a whim, but if they are, they’ll get unemployment benefits.

If they are fired for cause, as defined by Florida law, then, of course, they can’t collect unemployment benefits.

But folks need to understand that the right (or lack thereof) to a job is a different issue than the right to unemployment compensation.

It would be unethical IF he was running an investigation where Trump was the target.

You mean like Bharara signing off on a warrant to 'tap' Trump tower communications ?
