A worker who leaves his job voluntarily for another one is not entitled to unemployment compensation from his former employer if the new job doesn't work out, the Maryland Court of Appeals ruled yesterday. The 4-3 ruling could have wide implications for workers across the state as they seek better jobs and pay.
