Local munitions tribunal South African Worker's Grievances
Joseph Harris of Johannesburg complained that his employers Messrs Heenan and Froude unreasonably withheld a certificate under the Munitions Act. He said that the wages he now received were not so high as he was led to believe and that he was a volunteer munitions worker. He was really a shipbuilder and the class of work he was doing now was not what he was used to, he wanted to get work at Liverpool or Barrow and support his family who were at Whitehaven, Cumberland.
