An employer can reduce your pay if you are unable to perform essential functions of a higher-paying job, and must be demoted.

If you have not been released from a worker's compensation claim and your place of employment sells out to another company and you are not working because of cut wages can you collect unemployment?
You should still be collecting workmans comp if the doctor hasn't released you back to work. Workmans Compensation is an insurance that your employer bought. You can't collect unemployment if you haven't been released back to work from the doctor. You have to be ABLE to work to collect unemployment.
What can you do if your Employer bullies you to not file a comp claim?
It is illegal to record someone without their permission, so allegations can be made against the employer in a legal court and if witnesses can stand forward then the judicial system will take it from there, but other than that nothing can be done against the employer. As for the claim, it is illegal for a claim to be used as a reason for firing a person, and legal action can be taken if the employer does.

Very little of the health record privacy law (HIPAA) applies to employers, but this is in there: employers cannot compel you to reveal medical RECORDS except those needed to claim a medical-based benefit like FMLA, workers comp, or ADA accommodation. The employer can compel you on pain of discharge to demand necessary records from your doctor, who cannpot refuse YOU. The employer cannot demand records from your doctor, but can hire a doctor to demand the records and review them.

You have to do the same thing all over again - as you did the first time you were injured.

Not legally. HIPAA required doctors and insurers to protect your records against abuse. Your current employer can compel you to provide them, but cannot get them diretly from your doctor.
