December 14, 198291 N.J. 453

Summary

The Supreme Court of New Jersey held that employees who cannot reach work because they lack transportation voluntarily left without good cause attributable to the work and are therefore ineligible for unemployment benefits; the Court also affirmed deference to the Board of Review's factual findings. Justice O'Hern dissented, arguing the employees were effectively fired and should receive benefits.
