TweetYou can also claim that the company, not you or union, are on strike. It's not your fault if the company choose not to operate.

TweetYour employer will get a form to fill out once you go to stake your claim on unemployment. I is a very simple form. They ask for the reason for your unemployment. Like lack of work, reduced hours etc. The form ask how long the employer thinks the layoff will last. Providing they dont fight it then getting the unemployment is cake. In fact I'm not so sure you have to do much after that point. Back in the day you had to go out to x number of employers etc. I know several people who have been collecting unemployment for much longer then I can beleive and none of them are going out on job interviews.

I would suggest going and getting your unemployment claim started ASAP dont dely. It will take a few weeks before you see any funds again providing the employer is not fighting it.

Best of luck dont delay,
