Thank you! They use to offer unemployment in April when the kids didn’t own the business the parents did. Oil season dies down in April/May (past 2 years it slowed down in March) so they would offer voluntary lay off cuz they didn’t have full 40 hours for all drivers. Then about the last 2 years they stopped allowing lay offs saying it was to much paper work. So now the drivers just deal with some weeks have 40 hours and other weeks have 28 hours. They refuse to lay off. You can’t file a claim just for lost hours until they lay you off. Employees have been told if the owners ever hear the word “union/unemployment” your immediately terminated.
