There is nothing they really need to do. I was told that ui is on an individual basis, and anyone that has the hours would be eligible if they don't sign. You would also be eligible if they let you go in those first probationary months as well. Its really your choice. I was told by both ui and labor board that they are a little leery of me signing it, and suggested a lawyers advice. So, that is about it. UI or employment. No raises for a year at least is my bet, and a real push for the next year IF everything pans out. I've had friends already dropped (no letter) and will not be signing. I feel sick. I don't think another year is in the cards for me, but leaving is tearing me apart.
