What to do if I work for a fast food chain we will be closing and rebuilding our store for 3 months but was told that I couldn’t draw unemployment?
I am part of the management team. They want to send us to other stores; 1 is local the other 5 are 20 to 50 miles away. They still havent said where or when we will go. I have a set schedule and cant work much than that and its been that way for 2 years. If we go to another store we have to except a lower title, less hours and less pay. They also said if we apply we will see what will happen to us. We have about 60 wokers only 20 of us are legal the others are from Guatemala and Mexico. They want to keep them working. What should I do?

I suggest that you have a face to face meeting with your supervisor to discuss your immediate options for work for the next three (3) months and try to get a written commitment as to where you will be placed so that you can make a decision as to whether to continue working where you are or start seeking other employment.
