How do I go about appealing an unemployment decision that was overturned?

I was fired for using my cellphone at work to call the onsite director about the children at a day care center. The original decision to award me unemployment was appealed by the day care center, and they won the appeal.

Given the fact that your unemployment benefits award was overturned on appeal, you need to consult with an attorney practicing in the area of employment law to see what recourse you have as to the latest turn of events. Most likely there really is nothing you can do at the administrative level at this point.

Your recourse would possibly be to file an action at the state court level at this point in time concerning the denial of your unemployment benefits.
