Dismissal of Temporary Clerks From Public Service
Large numbers of temporary clerks in the Commonwealth Public Service will be dismissed in the coming months due to lack of work. Not all temporary clerks will be affected, say authorities. Wartime staffing had required expanded departments and mobilised forces. As forces are demobilised, temporary positions are no longer needed. The Public Service Commissioner and the Department of Air subbranch plan to contact Sydney representatives for assistance. Temporary clerks who are not ex servicemen may be reabsorbed when the timetable for demobilisation begins.
