I HAD to serve rotten food at an exclusive country club and quit. Is this constructive discharge or good cause??

I quit my job as a pantry chef at an exclusive country club because the disrespect for food safety codes and sanitation laws were amoral. I could not deal with serving human beings utterly rotten, manipulated, adulterated food and feeling good about myself at the end of the day. My claim was approved based on my findings in fact, however, then appealed and denied. I am appealing to the board of review in Pa and am scared to death. This club has unlimited resources and funds to massacre me.
No worries Jaye, I doubt you get anywhere with the appeal to the board of review.
How did you substantiate you quit due to food safety issues .. did you file a complaint with the health department before you quit? Were you then retaliated against or for doing so? Did you have other employees testify or offer statements on your behalf?
