1Opinion of the Court

DUFRESNE, Active Retired Justice.

Dorothy L. Brooking appeals from a judgment of the Superior Court, Cumberland County, which affirmed a decision of the Maine Employment Security Commission disqualifying her for unemployment compensation benefits from August 31, 1980 and until she had earned $368 in employment by an employer. The disqualification was based on a finding that the claimant voluntarily left her employment without good cause attributable to such employment within the meaning of 26 M.R.S.A. § 1193(1)(A) (Supp. 1981). We sustain the appeal and reverse the judgment below.
