New Dept. of Labor Site Might Be Trouble!!

If you've been getting text messages that the DOL is "upgrading" its website, it's more than that.

According to this video you have to do a weekly work search to qualify for benefits!!

Now, read this from AI:



So, if summer is longer than 8 weeks, we have to do a weekly job search! What dafuq?!!!

Furthermore, according to some of the comments under the video, they did away with the number of hours worked thing and went back to number of days worked.

This is fucked up!!

I really hope our union is on top of this ... if they even know!!!

I believe since we are hired through a union hiring hall we have exemptions. That was always one of the questions.

So unemployment emails and texts you to remind you to claim benefits now..

I'm hoping that's the case!

Not really but the website was inaccessible for a few days and they sent text messages telling people when they could log in to claim.

Oh lol I got a text and a email saying don't forget to claim for this week

So ... Asking Google AI again it seems we will be exempt due to our union status ...  (Hope it's right)
