Legal Question in Employment Law in District of Columbia

Unemployment benefits -- Appeal

I was an employee of an outsourcing firm and worked as a contractor with a company on a team of 3. The other 2 made up their own schedule in violation of the firm�s policies and claimed that our supervisor (a Firm�s rep.) had usually condoned this arrangement. I brought my complaint to my supervisor who had previously showed a sexual interest in me, asking questions pertaining to my marital status and getting physically close to me in meetings. The supervisor met with my co-workers and told me he told them that this arrangement would stop. When he addressed my complaint to his boss (a Firm�s rep.), he kept her in the dark with regard to my co-workers� arrangements. He only relayed to her that I felt overworked. My co-workers grew hostile towards me and isolated me to the point where I couldn�t share an office with them anymore. I submitted my resignation letter and requested a meeting with my supervisor�s boss. 1 day before my last day, the Client Manager told me he would offer good references in exchange for sexual relations. I applied for unemployment benefits, but was denied and I am now appealing the decision. Do you have any advice on how I would best defend my case?
