A case was brought in the Minnesota Court of Appeals which challenged the decision of an unemployment law judge (ULJ) in which the appellant was ineligible for unemployment benefits because he quit his job without good reason caused by the employer.
The employer, a provider of fire/life-safety equipment and services, supplied safety glasses, dust masks and gloves to the shop technicians and required them to be worn in order to prevent exposure to chemicals. The employer had also recently remodeled the shop room to install a utility fan with the intent to improve ventilation.
