My job is ending in 6 weeks due to site closing, my specific department has been sent to Mexico. Does this make any difference in my unemployment benefits in colorado?
My department is being closed out in the states and being sent 100% to Mexico. there are 4 of us currently employed in the department here in Colorado. The site is being closed March 31st, due to company downsizing, and we are being allowed to continue employment until that date. What are my options?

You likely have a good claim for unemployment benefits because you did not lose your job due to malfeasance on your part.
It's hard to say if there might be any legal claims against the employer under federal or Colorado law without knowing more details. Generally employers can close work sites or layoff employees at their own discretion but there are a a small number of extremely narrow exceptions.

It may be worthwhile to talk to an employment attorney near you about the situation. Let him or her discuss details with you and assess potential options.
