If only workers paid into the unemployment fund every paycheck, then there'd be no argument for keeping their money from them. Oh, wait... we do.

Unemployment is funded by a tax on employers, not employees.

This is 100% correct. Sadly it’s not as transparent as it should be and quite a lot of corporations have ways of getting around it. Not to mention during COVID there was a lot of taking from the fund but nearly no returning.
