Appellant: John G Simkins, Manager East Cleveland Co-operative Society
Summary of case: He is essential to the running of the milk department of the Cooperative Society, being the only man supervising the women employed there. He has been a member of the local Volunteer Corps since its inception. Milk is a necessity, and we must have some competent person to carry on this section of our work. I may state that in making further enquiries that this man has not been medically examined and therefore beg to suggest that class A may not be his right classification and am making arrangements for him to be medically examined at Middlesbrough at once.
Supporting evidence: No
Date and decision of North Riding appeal tribunal: 7 Jun 1918. Dismissed. |
