Summary of Issue: Strike Going On

Decision 64388 Full Text of Decision 64388

While on strike, the claimant had left his region to go to school, hoping to complete the training before the end of the strike. The claimant had not informed his employer nor his union that he was leaving or how he could be reached. He did nothing to keep abreast of the progress made in settling the strike. The judge stated that the claimant had an obligation to keep informed on the progress of the strike, and found that the claimant himself had incurred the risk of losing his job and was unable to demonstrate that he had established just cause for his voluntary leaving.
