Labour Department
Sir,—We know there is unemployment in this country', but why, in a government department dealing with this problem should it be necessary to wait over an hour before being attended to? The Government, which is helping, should perhaps employ more to help those who are not as fortunate as the civil servants who deal with the red tape so calmly yet so slowly. —Yours, etc.. HOPEFUL. April 9, 1968. [The district superintendent of the Department of Labour (Mr A. B. Tuck) replies: “1 can assure your correspondent that everything is being done by our employment section to give the best of attention, and we have had many expressions of thanks where our staff have gone out of their way to help. 1 do not know of circumstances referred to by. ‘Hopeful,’ but if he calls on me I will be pleased to discuss his complaint.”]
