Summary:
The majority Board members dismissed 5 appeals on the basis that there was not sufficient evidence to determine whether there had a 'significant change' in wages and/or work duties and that there was no real urgency for the claimants to quit their jobs since they had not exhausted all reasonable alternatives. The Umpire overturned the majority decision of the Board on the basis that the majority Board had erred in the weighing of the evidence before it and that the minority decision was reasonable given the evidence. The FCA allowed the employer's appeal on the basis that the Umpire incorrectly analyzed the majority Board decision because she held that they failed to give sufficient weight to the evidence and such a determination is not within the powers of the Umpire.
