Let's start with the unemployment denial, did you appeal and have a hearing? At the hearing the employer would need to provide a copy of the voicemail if they wanted to use it to deny benefits. Otherwise, the employer would not need to provide you with a copy.

You may not be able to force the issue. The law on your file is ORS 652.750, and as to which records you are entitled to, they are as follows:

Then be prepared to address the reasons for the denial (not just everything bad the employer did) with actual evidence. For instance, you say you were assaulted at work and... View More

Not sure why this popped up for Oregon, since it says you posted from Tacoma. Anyway, find a local employment law attorney to discuss.

You potentially could be a whistleblower and have protection that way, more so for the ATF records.
