Facts of the Case

Background

The appellant, employed as a fitter and turner since 1997, alleged constructive dismissal after the respondent attempted to convert his unlimited contract to a fixed-term contract in 2009. He resigned in September 2011 claiming the employer made his employment intolerable. The arbitrator dismissed his constructive dismissal claim.
