Question about Sylvan Learning Centers - they get a large
majority of money grants from NCLB.

The one I work at has always had problems - very
disorganized management, lack of materials, not getting
paid, student turnover, teacher turnover.

Anyway the one I work at is floundering financially - I
still am owed money from last Fall.

Haven't been scheduled in several weeks (other teachers the
same story).

1. Can I apply for unemployment? Have no lay off notice -
just not being scheduled.

2. Does the no compete clause teachers signed apply to us
since we are no longer being scheduled?

Another tutoring center is hiring and since we are not
being scheduled - we have to earn a living - so can't we
apply to other centers?

What the center I work at does is hire anyone and everyone
and tell them they will be scheduled - get them to sign the
no compete clause - and then schedule them 1 hour and never
schedule them again! So no one can compete with them!

So can we work for other centers or not?
