Description

In this appeal we must determine whether alternative non-union employment offered by Employer, and capable of being performed by Claimant, was nevertheless "unavailable because it required a forfeiture of seniority, security and associated benefits achieved through 36 years of prior unionized service with Employer, thus rendering Claimants refusal of such employment reasonable and insufficient to support modification of compensation to reflect partial disability. For the reasons stated herein, we affirm the decision of the Commonwealth Court, affirming the decision of the Workmens Compensation Appeal Board, which reversed the decision of the Referee to the extent that it modified Claimants compensation to reflect partial disability beyond six months from the date of Employers petition.
