I used to be employed by Belk Inc in Williamsburg. I worked there for almost 3 years. Started classes sometime in January and due to that fact and the fact that it was kind of difficult for me to find a suitable mode of transportation after my car was totaled the year before, I was fired with no warning what so ever. I did call but of course there's no body in that store between 6am-8am which ironically that was around the time I had to be at work. I text my immediate supervisor and she never returned my messages. I finally got myself a car and I was more than willing to go work. I asked several times for my schedule, I called and nothing. Around February or March I decided to apply for unemployment benefits and got denied because they stated that I did not show up for work the 1st, 2nd and 9th of March. Again I did not receive a schedule since the end of January, beginning of February. They also stated on the interview with unemployment and I quote "The claimant indicated she was not willing to discontinue school or change her class hours for suitable full time work." I have no choice in the hours of my school. I either go to school during the day or night... I chose evenings cause it was easier for me due to day care expenses. Also, may I remind that I worked for this company for almost 3 years and not even once was I offered a full time position. I did asked time and time again and all they came up with was excuses as to why they couldn't give me a full time position. They flat out lied to the deputy that conducted the interview. I am right now 5 months pregnant and actively seeking work. I cannot find employment not only due to my pregnancy but also because it is required to give your previous employers number and I know they must be lying about my performance in the work place. What can I do about this? I have 3 little girls; 2 in school and one about to attend school soon. I am pregnant with my last baby and can't even find a job because Belk has dirty my name. What can I do to pursuit this? How much will it cost me?
