Dismissal of council employees union secretary condemned
The council faced sharp criticism from Mr W. T. Divers of the Man Employees' Union over the dismissal of casual outside staff before Christmas. He argued the move was ruthless and noted the council differed from 197 others in the state in its handling of casual labour. After long discussion, four men kept in work, while long-serving staff faced protests and disputes over job security and wage implications under ongoing council measures.
