Description

COX, Justice. The petitioner seeks reinstatement in his employment as a laborer in the classified service of the city of Brockton. The city duly accepted the provisions of G. L. (Ter.Ed.) c. 31, § 47, relative to the employment of laborers designated as the 'labor service' under the civil service law, effective on July 1, 1937. On that date the petitioner was and had been for some time prior thereto, in the employ of said city as a laborer, and continued in such employment until September 1, 1937, when he was discharged without being given any reasons therefor in writing, see G.L.(Ter.Ed.) c. 31, § 43, and without his consent. It appears that the petition was not filed until March 21, 1938, more than six months from September 1, 1937, the date of the alleged removal of the petitioner, but no question is raised as to the extension which was granted by the court under G.L. (Ter.Ed.) c. 31, § 46A. The question is whether the petitioner was subject to the probationary period of six months under civil service Rule 18, so that he could be removed during that time without notice and an opportunity for a hearing under G.L. (Ter.Ed.) c. 31, § 43.
