Summary:
While the Commission and the union have agreed, in the case of a union member with the claimant's seniority, that 16 weeks (1 week for each year as union member) is a reasonable time, there is no statutory basis for such rule. The 16 weeks were generous.

Summary:
The fact that the possibility of obtaining employment in the Ripley area (a town of about 800 people) was remote does not relieve him (a union member) from the obligation to look for work. The fact that he did not reject any offer does not assist him either.
