Michigan Court of Appeals June 5, 1979, Docket 78-389 (Doerr v. Universal Engineering Division, Houdaille Industries, Inc)

V. J. Brennan, J.

The facts giving rise to the present controversy are set forth in the dissenting opinion of Judge Bashara. The question to be resolved is whether the unemployment of the plaintiffs at bar was the result of a labor dispute in active progress.

As Judge Bashara points out, the pertinent inquiry concerns the "efficient cause” of the unemployment.
