Voluntary resignation = termination. You should still qualify for unemployment.

Forced voluntary resignation no less. Definitely sounds like termination to me.

The specific term, for anyone wondering (or who may be facing this) is "constructive dismissal". If your employer significantly changes the terms of employment (hours, location, job duties, etc) to make you quit, it is legally viewed similar to firing.
