Questions and Answers
On Servicemen's
Problems
Bv DOUGLAS LARSEN

WASHINGTON, - Veterans job
rights and reinstatement rights are
now a part OF the permanent law
of the land. Up until recently. the
law that established these rights
was part of the temporary selec-
tive service legislation.
Before the President signed the
new bill, the security of the vet
eran in his job and his right to
pick up civilian life where he left
off when he went into service
were kicked around by Congress
and by politicians generally.
Whatever fate threatened the po-
litically obnoxious %selective : serv-
ice law also threatened the vet
eran.
The result was that the Ameri-
can Legion, the Veterans of For
eign Wars, the American Veterans
of World War II, and other vet
erans's organizations fought to get
veterans job rights off the politi-
cal gridiron and into permanent
protective legislation.
Fortunately for all veterans,
these organizations efforts were
successful.
B1t there was nothing put into
the law which gives veterans SUI
per : seniority for jobs. The SUI
preme Court recently decided that
the Interpretation of National Sc
lective Service as to so-called
super-seniority was not the intent
of Congress.
A small effort was exerted to
get super-seniority clearly defined
in the new law. But Congress
abided by the Supreme Court de-
cision and avoided redefining job
rights.
Thus, it is now possible for an
employer to lay off a World War
II veteran during the first year he
returns to the job, on the claim that
a lay-off is not a discharge. A vet
eran who has been resinstated can
be temporarily laid off during a
slack season before a non-veteran
with greater seniority than his is
given a notice.
There are still many questions
regarding veterans job rights
which haven't been fully settled
by the courts yet, however. The
most important concerns whether
or not a veteran who goes into a
new job can get automatic senior
ity for his time in service.
That is still being debated, and
it might come before the courts in
a test case soon. It affects more
veterans than the super : seniority
ruling does.
