The daily monitor leader. [volume] (Mount Clemens, Mich.) 1942-19??, 1943-04-29


@. What is the purpose of this
plan?
A. To provide for the orderly
transfer of workers to the jobs
in which they can best serve the
war effort. Other purposes are
to prevent labor pirating by en-
ployers, useless changes of jobs
by workers, reduced labor turn
over and less absenteeism.
@. Does this plan freeze"
workers on their jobs?
A. 1t does not. On the con-
trary it sets up a practical sys-
tenn which any worker may use
in obtaining a new job If he
isn't working full time now in
the kind of employment in
which he will be most useful in
the war effort.
@. Does the plan prevent
workers from getting more pay?
A. No. The plan does not
control wages, working condi-
tons or promotions. 1t merely
provides that worker can not
get one useful job and take an
other merely because he can
get more money.
@. Why is it necessary to
have job control plan covering
these three states?
A. To give workers and en-
ployers the same type of protec-
ton in areas which do not have
plans as management and labor
has in those areas in which en-
ployment sterilization plans
have been adopted.
@. Does the plan prevent a
worker from moving from one
community to another?
A. Not if the move is in the
interest of our war effort. If a
worker can not find a job at his
best skill in the community
where he is now, he should visit
his local United States Employ
ment Office and explain his stu
alton. II he is needed else
where he will be referred to a
Job. But he should not move
without first consulting his en-
ployment office in his own
home town.
@. What effect will the plan
have on migration of workers?
A. Under this system Of job
control employers are forbidden
to hire migrant workers unless
they have been cleared by the
employment office in the city in
which they lived previously. The
worker also must get referral
from the USES office serving
the employer. This will cut
down useless migration and will
prevent cities which already are
overcrowded from becoming
even more congested.
O. If a man is laid off indef-
initely how can he get another
Job under this plan?
A. BY explaining the circum-
stances to the employment Of
flee.
@. Is the plan part Of the eff
fort to enforce the Presidents
recent "hold- the-line" order?
A. It is. In fact it was made
necessary by the "hold-the-line'
order. The President said that
workers we're not to shift jobs
solely to get higher wages. Job
shifts, he said, must help the
war effort. That is the purpose
of this plan.
@. Who enforces the regional
sterilization plan?
A. The regional and area or
PLANTATIONS of the War Manpow-
er Commission, with the backing
of the national headquarters OF
this agency. In local commune
ties in which there is no area Of
flee of the VINO the local office
of the United States Employ
ment Service represents the
VINO.
@. Suppose a man Is working
in trade that has been declared
non essential. the doorman for a
night club, for example. How
can he get permission to take a
Job in a machine shop making
parts for tanks.
A. He doesn't need any per
mission. He can and should
quit and 60 to work on the new
lob. il he is fitted for it.
