Key legal question
Whether the 21-day suspension in entitlement to unemployment benefits for thwarting a program assignment by passive conduct violated federal law.
Extracted holding
The suspension was lawful and the appeal had to be dismissed.
Extracted reasoning
The cantonal court's factual findings were not shown to be unlawful; the file note and the prior written statement of the program company sufficiently supported the assessment, and refusal to hear the employee as a witness did not render the evidentiary appraisal unlawful.
