Yancey v. Department of Employment

DONALDSON, Justice.

Claimant (appellant) Clem R. Yancey was employed by Idaho Nuclear Corporation from May 15, 1967 until January 30, 1968, when he was laid off. The job apparently was of a permanent rather than seasonal nature. Claimant was a member of the Oil, Chemical and Atomic Workers Union, which had a collective bargaining agreement with Idaho Nuclear. Under the agreement claimant and other members of the union who were laid off had a right to be rehired in preference to other job applicants, should Idaho Nuclear decide to rehire personnel during the one year period following the layoff.
