Issue: Sub-Issue 1: Sub-Issue 2: Sub-Issue 3:
voluntarily leaving employment  new employment  a requirement 

Summary:

Was insured's situation so untenable, so intolerable, that he could leave without first finding employment elsewhere? Did he take all necessary steps to remedy situation? These are questions to be asked.


Issue: Sub-Issue 1: Sub-Issue 2: Sub-Issue 3:
labour dispute  regularly engaged  definition 

Summary:

Machinist on lock-out who worked 5 weeks elsewhere as courier and left for just cause. Not a subterfuge although short term. Regularity of schedule is criterion that tips balance in his favour, as in ABRAHAMS.


Issue: Sub-Issue 1: Sub-Issue 2: Sub-Issue 3:
voluntarily leaving employment  working conditions  salary 

Summary:

Courier paid by delivery; salary fell suddenly from $225 to $131 per week. Unjustified refusal by employer to allow invoices to be checked exceeds simple management right, distorted employer-employee relationship and destroyed climate of trust.
