Postal Clerks
Happy Ouer
Eight Hour Law

The new S-hour law for postoffice
clerks will be put in effect at the
local postoffice next week, and will
prove blessing to all employees. The
new legislation was passed by con-
gress rather recently and prohibits
any postal employe working more
than hours, and If the shifts are
split the total working time for the
day cannot extend over 10 consecu-
tive hours, or in other words the
clerks can have shifts of any length,
totalling eight hours, but the two
shifts must take place during 10
hours time.
Another ruling which pleases the
clerks is concerning Sunday work.
All Sunday work is counted as over
time. and every clerk putting in such
time shall have an equivalent off du-
ty during the regular working hours
of the week.
