Summary:
Upon receipt of a second speeding ticket which was considered a serious safety violation by the employer, a bus operator faced several options - he chose resignation. The claimant invokes subsection 29(c)(iv) contending that working conditions constituted a danger because of the risk to himself and the public for the reason that he lacked the ability to drive properly. That subsection refers to dangerous working conditions imposed upon a claimant by an employer. It does not refer to dangerous conditions created by the claimant.

Summary:
