I think it's funny that people who are collecting unemployment are holding out on looking for a job for better wages, safe working conditions, etc. I hope they realize that those jobs that are currently hiring at 15-20 dollars an hour will be right back down to minimum wage when the unemployment benefits are exhausted in September. Businesses will always be in control. Not you. You are fighting a hopeless fight. An employer has every right to decrease their hourly wage at any time. I hope the unemployed have a good work history and have been looking ,because businesses are looking at that.
