Just a personal observation. The situation of America’s well-educated and experienced labor of all sorts seems to me very grim.
I read the testimonials. If you’re an adjunct, please take the advice of the adjunct who recommends filing for unemployment benefits in the summer. You’re not a full-time prof, or a three-quarter time staffer for whom unemployment comp would be undue enrichment. You may need legal help, but not a whole lot. Be prepared for a real slog.
We had several intermittent staffers at our Podunk Tech who won their unemployment comp claims after multiple levels of appeal. Podunk’s false statements under oath attracted enough attention that its HR department was removed from Admin to General Counsel, who’s an ex officio assistant state attorney general.

“These highly educated and skilled [adjunct] teachers are paid poverty wages, are denied access to health insurance, often work term-to-term for decades, and have their unemployment compensation claims between terms challenged by lawyers who are hired by the university to fight these claims on often spurious grounds.” Matt Williams, “akronadjunct” (University of Akron), Feb. 10, 2014.
