Contract relinquishing rights to unemployment insurance?

Waiving Statutory Rights
I am sorry, but I cannot provide an opinion as to the enforceability of a specific employment agreement because you are not a client.
However, many laws which give employees certain rights have specific provisions which say those rights cannot be waived. Your employer probably knows this.
Incidentally, the Fair Labor Standards Act has nothing to do with unemployment compensation. FLSA governs wage and hour issues, including overtime and minimum wage.
