My question involves unemployment benefits for the state of: New York
My husband was hired as a full time handyman in union 32BJ building in July 2014, with a promise to join the union in 2-3 months. Super stated he can apply for union membership when they get an OK from the Board of Directors (co-op building). The building & the board of directors holds monthly meetings, and each month he was asking his super if his union membership was discussed and each month he was getting "next month". December & january meeting were cancelled and after february meeting, he was terminated due to minor complaints from tenants (when confronted by my husband he could only list one minor complaint). The super stated it's not his choice, that he likes him and he is doing a great job, but that's what the office decided and his hands are tied. The super told him he can become a part time "on call" employee, there are about 3 other on call employees hired by the building. My husband filled out a complaint with the union & the union contacted the office. I turns out he should be paid $6 more per hour(!) per the union contract & he was eligible for union membership & benefits after 2 months of employment. After the complaint, the super approached my husband and said he never "fired him" and that he can remain employed part time on call if he wishes, if not he is the one that is resigning. This looks lik a normal practice of the building. My husband needs a full time job & believed the super will call him for an hour or two each day (1.5h commute) until he quits. Can this eliminate him from being eligible to receive unemployment benefits? We are 100% positive the employer will fight when my husband tries to apply for unemployment benefits. We are totally new to unemployment process and his last full time day is next week. Can someone please help?
