Lourdes Medical Center of Burlington County v. Board of Review et al.

Thursday, January 29, 2009

Loss of revenue attributable to the nurses' strike that did not result in substantial curtailment of work at the hospital is not the equivalent of a "stoppage of work" under N.J.S.A. 43:21-5; the nurses are entitled to unemployment benefits.

Monday, July 21, 2008
