Did you at any point contact your union? Minimum they likely could have told you that if you quit no Unemployment Insurance.

If that's true. That's the exception not the rule. I happy you did what you did. But l Union professionals are smart and we'll give you your options and the likely outcomes. So much really depends on the specifics so I really don't want to comment too much. At the end of the day, unless you have a contract promise made by HR, even in writing are not legally enforceable. I would go to the New York City human rights commission.

Respect that that you'll need an agency to pursue this.
