MANPOWER
I read with interest the article on "Manpower Difficulties." I am at present employed with a manufacturing firm in the city. Many orders have come in, mostly from military quarters, but as we have very little pulp in hand, these orders cannot be executed, and there is no certainty of the position improving. The result is that quite a few of the staff are dodging about from one department to another "filling in time." Some of these men could easily be dispensed with and their services be utilised to more advantage for the country. Arcording to regulations it is no' possible for an employer to discharge a man unless for some very serious reason, and I think the one I have related warrants investigation. I consider that in circumstances of this nature the employers should not be forced to keep on a surplus stafFThe fact that some of their key men have been appealed for does not alter the situation in the least.
