ORAL ORDER
The petitioner’s grievance is that although supervisors are classified as semi-skilled workers, they have been wrongly and erroneously classified as skilled workers in the corrigendum. Therefore, the petitioner’s representation, seeking the classification of supervisors as semi-skilled workers, must be considered. Whether a supervisor is a skilled or semi-skilled worker is a matter that requires consideration by the respondent authority.
