Legal Question in Employment Law in Pennsylvania
unemployment appeal
I am collecting unemployment
benefits and my employer has
appealed the decision for benefits.
How can I get a ''fair'' hearing since
all of the employees will be afraid of
losing their jobs if they testify against
the employer. They have been told if
they so much as talk to me they will
be fired on the spot. They certainly
will not say anything even under
oath against employer for fear they
will lose their job. Two employees
have already written false
statements regarding me. One of
these told another person her Dad
told her to do anything to get ahead.
I cannot afford a lawyer nor qualify
for legal aid based on my benefits. I
am afraid they will use a lawyer.
How can I get a fair hearing under
these circumstances?

Re: unemployment appeal
report the intimidation to the FBI as a crime, interference with your civil rights and obstruction of jsutice, among other things. unless you are just theorizing without proof.
if it is important to you, you must hire an attorney who will know how to navigate the subpoena process and who will puncture your employer's bubble.
you will need a lawyer who is fearless and a fighter; but if you are certain that such interference with your rights has taken place, Go Big in both the UC appeal and the later civil lawsuit which will seek additional monies including punitive damages. i suggest getting 3 former co-EEs to sign a statement before a Notary real soon. If they won't, then hire a private investigator. There is simply no way to accomplish what ou want on the cheap. It would be easier to act as your own dentist.
