What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? FL
I was wondering if this was even legal. At my place of employment, a co-worker was literally arrested and taken out in handcuffs from work after being on the "run" I suppose you can call it, for several misdeamenor warrants. The nature of one of the charges (we found out from looking it up on the county website) made the majority of women who worked there very uneasy and scared to know we had been working with someone like this. He was fired.
Fast forward down the road. Another co-worker we work with ran into ex-employee outside of work and told us that he said "things were great and he was going to let Obama pay his way as he was now collecting unemployment" The co-worker than said that he didn't think he would be able to get it given the circumstances at which he was fired. Ex-employee stated that former employer told his case worker that he was just laid off because he felt bad for him.
This kind of erks me. Well maybe more than it should. Can people collect unemployment after being arrested at work for "dodging" the law? A lot of people who really need it or other types of Welfare get denied and this chump is sitting back collecting people's hard earned tax dollars. Just wondering...
