The resolution adds a proviso “that seniority on what may be temporary employment gives little or no protection to the em- ployee. and that this can be ob- tained only by attaining full em- ployment for all available work- ers and thus avoiding a competi- tive struggle between veterans and displaced civilians for an inadequate number of jobs.” GREECE The Greek situation was also considered by the council and a resolution passed urging the fed- eral government to use its in- fluence’ on the British govern- ment to carry out the spirit of the Atlantic Charter in Greece providing there is no interfer- ence with military operations.
