wmx,nuance payroll compensation migration. - my understanding of Unemployment benifits

If this company would have given us the new Escription whereas we can make the same or better then that would be more understandable. I have several other friends (other mtsos) that make a very good living on Escription  which our old CEO (now VP over all nuance transcription) promised us.
To cut our pay before this happens to me is just unacceptable and in my opinion may have been somewhat misinformed perhaps just to keep us around with this slower program we are on now. So I will quit, give up my health insurance and file for unemployment, if needed I will file an appeal  (with this company) and draw a very respectable weekly salary until I find another mtso to work for or go into another line of work. As far has my health insurance goes I will find that elsewhere also.

I have received emails and phone calls (fellow mts as Ive been in this business over 25 yrs) asking about this unemployment situation with my case worker in my state. What I understand is that you do not have to be laid off to collect these benefits. There are several other reasons one which has to do with the severity of a reduction in salary over a period of time. The kicker is the more you make the higher the amount of weekly benefits you can receive and this is why I was showing my case worker what wmx has been doing to us over a short period of time and now may be trying to do to us again.

I believe or recall that wmx  told us they are a "part" of nuance and my way of thinking is that maybe my original contract with wmx and original pay will be used to calculate my benefits instead of after all these pay cuts that would get me less unemployment benefits.
