Description
This appeal presents a question that has not previously been before this Court for decision and involves the application of I.C. § 72-1366(j) to a claimant who is not working by reason of a strike which involved his employer. All parties agree that the strike involved was a ""labor dispute"" as referred to in the subsection of the statute. Claimant, Teodoro Totorica, had been employed by the appellant Western Equipment Company, herein referred to as ""the company"", in its shop as an equipment steam cleaner and painter. Claimant was a member of a union that was engaged in negotiations with the company concerning a labor contract. The negotiations were unsuccessful, and at a meeting of the union a strike was called. Following notice to the company, the shop employees struck the plant on October 2, 1963. The strike continued for about six weeks. The day after the strike began, claimant was notified by a letter from an Attorney representing the company, he could have his job back if he returned to work immediately. Claimant did not reply to this letter nor did he return to work. Three weeks later, the company informed claimant's union that claimant and another employee had been replaced as of October 22; which information was communicated to claimant. On approximately October 10, the company commenced hiring new employees to replace the 16 employees on strike, and by October 15, the company had hired approximately nine new men.
