Summary:
The claimant's employment involved making telephone calls for a collection service. He was subjected to harassing language in the form of abusive racial comments from some of the clients - this was stressful and affecting his family life. The Judge stated that the claimant could have discussed his concerns with his employer but he chose to leave instead. He concluded that there was no evidence to show that the stress suffered by the claimant from the harassment at work had become so unbearable as to leave him with no choice but to quit when he did.
