If labor should work shouldn't employers hire anyone who wants to work?
No.
That is altruistic and asinine. It ignores the most basic driver of employment: NEED.
Why of employment for a wage instead of employment for a vocation. If an employer has no need for employees then unemployment compensation should be automatic.
It is not altruistic nor asinine, but that form of equality; why am i not surprised you don't recognize it; too socialist for you.
Gee, that's why they have unemployment compensation for layoffs. Of course, being let go for cause is another story.
There is no Cause under the concept of employment at will; a good cause may be a rational choice as a business practice in any given situation.
Just the Right appealing to ignorance of the law for their "gospel Truth" causes.
If you have worked enough qualifying quarters, and you were not working as an independent contractor (meaning you were your own employer), you can be disqualified for the following reasons...
Unemployment Disqualifications
While many workers who are fired or laid off are eligible to receive unemployment benefits, there are some disqualifying factors that can render a person ineligible for receiving these payments. The exact circumstances in which unemployment payments will be approved or denied are set on a state level, not a national one, so there may be some differences depending on the location of the job loss. In most states, however, an employee will be disqualified from unemployment benefit eligibility if he or she is fired for misconduct, willful behavior, or other
justifiable cause. Generally speaking, this means that if an employee engages in prohibited or illegal activity, violates company policy, or otherwise does something intentional that leads to being fired, he or she may be disqualified from receiving unemployment payments.
An employee will also be disqualified from receiving unemployment benefits when he or she quits without
good cause to quit. The precise definition of good cause varies by state. However, if an employee is forced to quit, or is “constructively discharged” because of illegal discrimination or other illegal action taken by the employer, this will generally be defined as good cause for quitting. However, most reasons for quitting will not qualify as good cause. Examples of such reasons include entering school, getting married, being involved in a labor dispute (i.e., strike), or simple job dissatisfaction.
In most states, being unable to work disqualifies an individual from receiving
unemployment benefits. This is because unemployment benefits are paid to individuals on the condition that they look for new work. If an individual is completely unemployable, then he or she will be unable to meet this condition, and will therefore be disqualified from unemployment benefit eligibility.
