Summary:
The claimant was working as a welder in the northern part of a province. The claimant quit his employment because he did not have transportation back and forth to the job site and no longer had living accommodations. The employer advised that the claimant had worked with that company for 29 days and could have stayed at a campsite which was only 500 feet from the work site. The claimant, however, never discussed accommodation problems with him. He didn't discuss the loss of accommodations because he felt it was a personal matter between him and his sister. It is clear that the claimant had reasonable alternatives and could have exercised these alternatives at least for a while before he could show that he had just cause for leaving his employment. There was nothing to show that the claimant could not live like the other workers in the camp and it was a reasonable alternative to putting himself in an unemployed position. It appears to me that the claimant made no effort to keep his job. The appeal of the Commission is allowed.

Summary:
When the decision to leave is taken voluntarily, one must show that the choice was forced by unacceptable conditions. These have to relate to employment, not to personal conditions like accommodation. Personal reasons may be reflected in the length of the disqualification.
