So I am a bread baker at a local bakery in utah, the owner is an ass, who I suspect has been trying to get the bread team to quit for some reason. (Long unimportant story for now)
Anyways, back in December our supplier told us that come April they could not keep supplying us with bread flower. Owner has known this for months and has not done anything about it, and with him being who he is, I will not be surprised if he doesn't do anything about it before it's to late
Without flour we will not be able to do our jobs, and given what I know about the matter, it feels like if he refuses to give us the materials to do our jobs, it is similar to firing us, and will owe us unemployment. However I also know he won't see it that way.
So questions:
A) is shakey understanding of how creative dismissal works correct in this instance?
B) where should I look to better understand labor laws
C) how do I make sure that I and my team get paid unemployment when inevitably owner says no
