The Unemployed Workers Union has been trying to help thousands of unemployed workers get the benefits owed to them.However, lawyers said they're frustrated by what they call the state's lack of cooperation.Lawyers for the Unemployed Workers Union claim all of their requests for information were denied by the state in the case, so now they are filing a motion to compel discovery in hopes of forcing the notion.The state, on the other hand, said the lawsuit's claims have already been dealt with."There are literally thousands, thousands of people both in this city and around the state who have yet to see a dime of their unemployment," said Sharon Black of the Unemployed Workers Union.Representatives of the Unemployed Workers Union were outside the Elijah Cummings courthouse Tuesday, rallying for those who still haven't gotten all of their unemployment benefits."It's like every couple of months, I might receive my benefits and then it'll be cut off," said Stephen Ceci, who is dealing with unemployment issues.People like Ceci, who lost his job as a banquet bartender at a hotel when the coronavirus pandemic hit, still have not been able to find full-time work."It's the anxiety, mental frustration, not knowing how are you going to pay your bills, your cellphone," he said.Lawyers tell 11 News that in September, they put in a request for documentation from the Maryland Department of Labor, including how many outstanding claims there were, policies for identification verification and the process for putting someone on a hold status.They claim the state denied their request, saying it was beyond the scope of the case. Now, they will try and force the issue by filing a motion to compel discovery."This is an outrage. How can you say anything and was supposed to be a class action suit is beyond the scope when we're trying to represent and fight them behalf of tens of thousands of Marylanders," said Alec Summerfield, attorney for the Unemployed Workers Union.WBAL-TV 11 News reached out to the department and got a response from Gov. Larry Hogan's office saying, "The plaintiffs' claims in this matter have previously been resolved, so these activists' requests and questions are irrelevant. We also remain fully committed to ensuring the Attorney General bears the costs of litigation."There is a motion to dismiss hearing scheduled for Monday.No matter the outcome, the Unemployed Workers Union said it's planning to picket the Department of Labor on Oct. 29.
