Do I have a chance of proving I left for good reason?
Hello. I'm an engineering who recently left my position because I was forced to ship and sign off on manufactured parts which go into humans that were not to FDA or OSHA endoscopic standards. This makes them illegal and dangerous, but I was forced to ship them regardless. I registered for unemployment and was denied. Had a hearing and again was denied. I'm going to appeal to the unemployment agency one more time. Do you have any suggestions as to what I can say to have this overturned.

Might also want to consider a whistleblower claim against your former employer, maybe can use that as leverage to get them to pay unemployment and some severance. Feel free to check out my employee rights blog www.takethisjobnshoveitblog.com or my web site www.behrenlaw.com.

You should point to the evidence presented during the hearing that shows that the parts were not compliant with FDA or OSHA standards and emphasize your testimony that that was the reason for your resignation. If you have any documents or written evidence corroborating either of those points, it would be a good idea to refer to those documents.
