Key legal question
Whether the work stoppage qualified for bad-weather compensation under Art. 43 para. 1 AVIG.
Extracted holding
No. The stoppage was not shown to have been caused exclusively and necessarily by the weather, and the work could reasonably have been scheduled or replaced by other tasks.
Extracted reasoning
The temperatures were not extraordinary for February, the work was not shown to be zwingend scheduled for those days, and the employer could have shifted to other indoor or alternative work. Any lack of suitable alternative work was not weather-related.
