Summary:
Claimant's stated he was aware that the strike started 26 Feb. and he chose to return to work the next day. Claimant's representative said that he was too ill to participate in picketing and consequently was not participating in or directly interested in the labour dispute. Umpire found that the Commission is correct in not providing benefits to someone who is still employed by an employer who is therefore ineligible to receive benefits. The fact that he is still a member in good standing with the union also indicates that he was a beneficiary of whatever positive result the union obtained from the strike.
