Any body know of anything I can do. This has bout finished me off. Well, were you "discharged because of my DWI"? And, does such a discharge fall within the realm of your employer's discretion (in other words, does it follow "policy and procedures"?)? IF so, then I'd have to consider either hiring legal representation.....................or, finding another job. And, quit drinkin and drivin! "It is cold and we have no blankets. The little children are freezing to death. My people, some of them, have run away to the hills, and have no blankets, no food; no one knows where they are-perhaps freezing to death. I want to have time to look for my children and see how many of them I can find. Maybe I shall find them among the dead. Hear me, my chiefs! I am tired; my heart is sick and sad. From where the sun now stands, I will fight no more forever." Chief Joseph Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

billy2 Posted April 20, 2010 Share Posted April 20, 2010 DW, I know from past experience that we would always win an appeal for unemployment when the employee committed wilful misconduct. I have also seen an employee save their job by going into rehab. Bill Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you thought the fighting was over when you came home, got out, or when the politicians said it was over. Welcome to the real fight, welcome to VA claims!!!

HadIt.com Elder jbasser Posted April 20, 2010 HadIt.com Elder Share Posted April 20, 2010 David, Appeal the Unemployment decision. J A Veteran is a person who served this country. Treat them with respect. A Disabled Veteran is a person who served this country and bears the scars of that service regardless of when or where they served. Treat them with the upmost respect. I do. Rejection is not a sign of failure. Failure is not an option, Medical opinions and evidence wins claims. Trust in others is a virtue but you take the T out of Trust and you are left with Rust so be wise about who you are dealing with. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
david walker Posted April 20, 2010 Author Share Posted April 20, 2010 Went to rehab day after the accident. Been sober since. Was sober nine years prior. Yes it goes against policy. Came back to work after rehab and they let me work for 2 months then told me to hit the road. Also told me I could sign up after I resigned. Resigning would be best. My boss forced me to ride with him a few times while he was drinking in a company car and I wasn't. Even went so far one time to say if i didn't want to drink i could sit in the car. Now thats a kinda sad funny. All my co-workers used some kinda med, was a big thing for them to share. But thats there problem not mine. I had to get out of there. That place was gonna kill me for sure. I'll never take another drink and can promise you that. I hate the stuff or what the stuff does to peoples (good peoples) lives if they let it. Nobodies fault but my own. But everybodies hurt. I am so sorry. I know why some never get sober, its alot easier than forgiveness and second chances and for some third & fourth and so on. Just pray for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
