## Opinion text

TRAYNOR, J., Concurring.
For the reasons set forth in the dissenting opinion of Chief Justice Gibson in McKinley v. California Emp. Stab. Com., 34 Cal.2d 239, 252 [ 209 P.2d 602 ], it is my opinion that petitioners did not voluntarily leave their work because of a trade dispute. (Unempl. Ins. Code, § 1262.) Since a majority of the court, however, is unwilling to overrule the McKinley case, I concur in the judgment under the compulsion of that case.
