Court held that arriving at work and refusing specific tasks due to a valid union exemption is not abandonment of work.

The Supreme Court overturned a lower court's finding that the plaintiff abandoned his job by refusing specific tasks assigned by the employer. The plaintiff argued he was entitled to a full-time exemption from work duties under the Trade Union Act, which the employer allegedly violated. The court ruled that such refusal does not constitute abandonment when based on a genuine belief that the employer is breaching statutory rights.
