Held, that the UCBR's findings that a) the claimant was subject to racial and ethnic slurs, profanity, and physical threats, and that b) claimant acted with common sense and did all he reasonably could to preserve his job before quitting were supported by substantial evidence, and that the Board did not commit any error in applying the relevant law.
