UNEMPLOYMENT INSURANCE
COMMISSION
Insured welters, who lost their em-
ployment will not be 'required to ac-
cept any position which may be of-
fered, Mr. R. N. Watt, Manager of
Stratford said in an interview today.
It is a common misconception
annong workers that they must accept
any position offered, • and if such a
position is refused that they will be
.deprived of their rights to the pay-
ment of benefits during the time
they are out of work.
The Ant very definitely protects
the worker against any attempt to
foree him to accept enxpioyment at a
.low 'standard of wages, or if the
working conditions are less favour-
able than those recognized by good
employers, or . if vacancies are due
to a labour dispute. He is also und'ei•
no compulsion to accept employment
which requires him to become a mem-
be of: any association, organization
or union of workers, or, on the other
hand, which requires him to refrain
from becoming a member,
The Act provides furthermore
that a man whose claim for benefit
Payment has been disallowed, may

atives of employers and employees.
