Is this legal?

jonri - I’m doing that as we speak but I’m still confused by the law. Here’s what the page says:



You may be eligible for benefits if:

* You lost your job due to lack of work: the temporary or seasonal employment ended; your job was eliminated; there was an involuntary reduction in force; the company downsized or shutdown; the company restructured or reorganized, there was a lack of company operating funds/orders; or for any other business operating reason which resulted in your involuntary unemployment.

You were discharged or fired because you were unable to meet employer performance or production standards, or you were unable to meet employer’s qualifications for the job.


You may be denied benefits if:

* You were fired because your employer alleged that you violated a company policy, rule or procedure, such as absenteeism or insubordination; because of a disagreement or dispute with a boss or co-worker; or you were fired for any other reason.



I’m still a little confused here. Does the “fired for any other reason” mean legitimate reasons, or is “because we felt like it” a reason in this case?
