MATTER OF SWEAT


198 A.D.2d 695 (1993)

603 N.Y.S.2d 362

In the Matter of the Claim of Betty A. Sweat, Appellant. Children's Home of Poughkeepsie, Respondent; John F. Hudacs, as Commissioner of Labor, Respondent

Appellate Division of the Supreme Court of the State of New York, Third Department.

November 18, 1993


Claimant was discharged after she repeatedly refused a supervisor's instructions to clean certain bathrooms. Admittedly, this task was part of her job duties.

Claimant's remaining contentions have been considered and rejected as unpersuasive.
