Description

Unique IDA-00313142SeriesLetters Received, 1843-1899 [Municipal Council of Sydney]DateBetween 23rd June 1887 and 5th July 1887Date qualifierexactFormatVolume - HardcoverDescriptionPetition: M Buckley & GE Hudson for suspended Water Department single men employees requesting reconsideration, especially in this difficult employment period, on the basis of their acquired knowledge and the fact that many have dependent relatives and ask that Inspector Robertson's opinion be asked.

Note: 24/6/87 Rec'd 27/4/87. City Engineer. Water Gangs - Re dismissal of single men.
In discharging the petitioners His Worship did not call into question their ability or industry - I apprehend that when discharges became necessary His Worship deemed it less a hardship to dismiss single men who being unencumbered could seek work elsewhere. Exceptions have been made in cases where it was satisfactorily shown that single men supported relatives: JTJ; 28/6/87. I explained to the deputation that where a single man could prove by a letter from a clergyman that he had the responsibility of a married man, he was to have the same consideration as a married man: AJR;2/7/87
