Everyday in the news it's about jobs being lost. What could be more important and relevant at this time than a program about the little guy helping the little guy? The country is in a recession and is not going to recover any time soon. Families across the country don’t have any money and are hanging onto every penny. As a result, family entertainment is relegated to ordering pizza and watching television. Who doesn't want to see a program that is empathetic to the plight of the average worker? Our program actually inspires employees as the underdog fights for the little guy... it doesn’t matter if the format is a sitcom or reality. It is based on true stories.

  Gov't Estimate Actual *
Unemployment Rate 8.5% 15.5%
New Jobs For Month 0 0
* The government requires an employer to notify them when they hire an employee but there is no requirement when an employee separates from them.  Also, the government does not consider employees who have exhausted their unemployment benefits and are still unemployed or those who have no work history to name a few.

The average worker across the country who either quits or is fired from their job in unemployment court does not have that someone to stand up against their former employer or that person to negotiate their job back. Unfortunately, employers all over the country try to deny unemployment benefits to protect their unemployment tax rate from increasing regardless if their employee is at fault.

This year thousands of employees have already received pink slips and continue to be intimidated by their former employer. I help everyday people... the secretary, the mechanic, the nurse, the teacher, the salesman and even an alligator wrestler.

What's at stake? In Florida, for example over ten thousand dollars ($10.000.00) for the claimant, in New York, California or Massachusetts, it's much higher, if they win. This amount varies in every state. This money helps keep food on the table, and people in their homes. But, remarkably, it’s not always about the money. It's about the underdog getting his moment in the sun to speak his truth. It's about an employee gaining back his/her self respect and dignity. Most times, they’re content with facing off against who "did them wrong."

Getting fired is humiliating enough, but packing up your desk and being escorted out of your workplace flanked by security guards and human resources as former co-workers avoid eye contact, make matters worse. This was a reality for hundreds of thousands of Americans last year and this year the pink slip count is staggering.  In today's economic environment of mergers, downsizing and outsourcing, there are thousands of people with nowhere to turn.

Finally, employees have someone on THEIR side.

The dog is no longer man's best friend.... It's Spencer!!!

Employees may not always get their job back, but with Spencer's expertise, they have the chance to "beat the boss", restore their dignity and respect , and move on with their lives and careers.

Watch as Spencer handles his clients, the employers, the judge , and his own employees and family, while setting the record straight!
