Issue: Sub-Issue 1: Sub-Issue 2: Sub-Issue 3:
refusal of work  labour dispute 

Summary:

Unemployed worker who accepted work offered on 3-11. Laid off 4-11 after working only 18 hours. Strike commenced 5-11. The Commission was aware when referring him to the job that the plant would be struck. On these facts, he would have been able to showgood cause for refusing.


Issue: Sub-Issue 1: Sub-Issue 2: Sub-Issue 3:
basic concepts  loss of benefits due to third party  default 

Summary:

Claimant accepted work offered on 3-11 and was disentitled from 5-11 because of a strike. He had established his eligibility for UI and the subsequent loss of it was by reason of the Commission's misinformation. He should not be required to assume responsibility for this error.


Issue: Sub-Issue 1: Sub-Issue 2: Sub-Issue 3:
labour dispute  loss of employment  shortly after commencing 

Summary:

Accepted work 3-11. Laid off due to strike 4-11. An analogy can be drawn with ABRAHAMS. If a "token" engagement in another occupation should not have the effect of restoring benefits, a "token" engagement should not have the effect of disentitling one who was otherwise entitled.
