CO129-577-8 Junior Clerical Service- petition for improvements in salaries and conditions of service 6-7-1939 - 19-12-1939 — Page 3

I.

In the circumstances, I think

we are justified in considering principally

the main complaints of the Junior Clerical

Service and the Governor's proposed new scheme;

and I hardly think it necessary to go into the

petitioner's secondary complaints.

The petitioner's chief complaints

are based on:-

1.

and 2.

the division of the Junior Clerical Service into

a large number of classes

the alleged inadequacy of the salary scales.

The division into classes:-

At present the Junior

Clerical Service is divided into no less than

eight classes, with salary scales which have been

in force since 1930.

are as follows:-
