Summary:
I concede it is reasonable to reject short-term work in order to obtain long-term work where there are assurances of long-term employment in the very near future. It is not reasonable for claimant to be financed by UI while he waits for a job on a project with no assurance that it will proceed in the near future.

Summary:
Claimant contends that the Commission should not interfere with the internal workings of the Union so long as job offers are manned. This is based on the Union Hiring Hall agreement. The tenor of CUB 5426 is that the Commission cannot contract out of the requirements of s.25(a).
The claimant was fully entitled to believe he would get a better (longer) job in the near future and indeed he did, but once a suitable job offer is refused, UI must cease.
There is no question in the Union agreement that one may refuse a job offer and retain his position on the priority list for a better or longer job offer. However, it is not an option that he be permitted to refuse a job and continue on UI. Some work ispreferable to no work.
