Information About Maryland Employment Stabilization Regulations The recent regulations issued by the War Manpower Director for the Maryland Area, to control the em ployment by any establishment of any workers in addition to those on its payroll on May 12, 1943, the ef fective date of the regulations, has raised so many questions among em-! ‘ployers and employes that the office of the War Manpower Commission (Maryland Area) has prepared the following questions and answers: Q. Why were the regulations is sued? A. They provide a plan, fitted to iMary]and’s needs and situation, to ‘implement the regulations issued lnationally by the War Manpower ‘Commission to carry out the Presi ‘dent's “hold the line” order. These inational regulations, issued on April lApril 18 and known as “Regulation 'No. 4,” prohibit transfers from one {job to another under certain circum |stances unless they are made under |an area stabilization plan. The iMaryland regulations furnish em 'ployers and employees with a basis ifor operation under the stabilization iplans in effect in the state. | In addition, Management - Labor !Advisory Committees in the State 'have recognized several problems \which they feel should be met in iorder to stabilize employment for the most effective prosecution of the Iwar. The Maryland regulations are ldosigncd to meet these problems. | Q. What are some of these prob lems? | | A. (a) The elimination of waste- Iful labor turnover in essential ac ‘tivities, (b) The reduction of un ‘necessary in-migration by encour 'aging the use of local labor, (¢) The |direction of the flow of scarce labor ito employers engaged in essential ‘activities in preference to other em "ploymem, (d) The maximum utili | zation of manpower resources. I Q. How will I know when job ‘transfer problems arise, whether I am governed by these Maryland !regulations or Regulation No. 4 of 'the War Manpower Commission? A. In Maryland these regulations 'provide a basis for operation under ißegulation No. 4 and, therefore, the ]employers and employees who com ply with the provisions of the Mary- | 'land regulations will not be in viola ltion of Regulation No. 4. | ' Q. How do the regulations con-:l trol job transfers? | ‘ A. In general, they provide tihat ‘every person taking a new job must | Fpresent some evidence (a Release, a| 'Certificate of Prior Employment, or, a Referral Card) to indicate that %neither he nor his new employer is: violating the regulations or prineci- | ples established nationally and 10-! cally by the War Manpower Com-l mission. , Q. Do the regulations “freeze” | people in their jobs? e - A. No. They are designed to con- | trol movement from one job to an-| other in such manner as will best serve the manpower requirements of the country. They provide for full consideration of the personal! needs and rights of individuals in! relation to the pressing demand of ‘ the nation for effective and efficient prosecution of the war. ; No restrictions are placed on leav- i ing a job with a non-signer of an Area Agreement to take another job | with an employer in Maryland who | is or is not a signer, except for the | limitations imposed where Section VIII, is applicable. The release pro- | cedure controlling transfers from one signer to another have been ini effect for some time in certain areas' in Maryland. { Q. I am not a signer of an Area ! War Manpower Agreement. Can I refuse to release one of my em-! ployees? ; : A. No. “Releases” are issued or | denied only by signers. You are re quired to give every person whof leaves your employ a “Certificate of Prior Employment.” | { Q. I don’t know whether I'm in an “Essential Activity” or not. How ‘ican I find out? ’ | A. The National List of Essential Activities has been published from I‘time to time in the newspapers andf lis available at the office of the War lManpower Commission, 3002 O’Sul livan Building, Baltimore, Mary-‘ iland, and at all local offices of the United States Employment Service. Q. If lam engaged in an essential activity and am not a signer of an| Area Agreement, how can I becomel a signer? ‘ I A. By making application to the State office of the War Manpower | Commission or any local office of thei United States Employment Service.i Q. I am not classified as “Es-| sential” or “Locally Needed.” Does that mean that the Gowrnmént! doesn’t care whether or not Igo out of Business? : £ cations are only established to indj ,in the war effort requires that they be given preference in decisions af | fecting manpower. ,! Q. My employer is a signer of a War Manpower Agreement. Can I itake a job with an employer who thasn’t signed an agreerent? ' | A. Only if you are referred by |{the United States Employment Ser tlvice. If you have a release from .]your employer it can only serve as lauthorization for employment with another signer. The Employment |Service will authorize your transfer to less essential employment only if 'lspecial circumstances warrant it. >£ Q. Can I change to a job which | will give me a higher rate of pay? | A. Yes. The regulations do not jprevent transfers if a higher wage rate prevails on the new job. How ever, where a release is required, ‘the possibility of earning more ‘money will not be recognized as the |determining reason for granting a I release. | Q. On what basis are releases | granted? + A. In general, releases are grant ed when it will aid in the prosecu tion of the war; inability or failure of an employer to utilize the highest - skill of an individual or to employ - him for a substantial period at full time are typical reasons for which releases are given. In addition, compelling personal reasons some 'times entitle an individual to a re lease. ; Q. How can I obtain a release? | A. If you feel you are entitled to 'a release, you may ask your em ployer for one. If he does not be lieve you should have one and you still feel that you have justifiable reasons for changing your job, you 'may have your case reviewed at the - nearest office of the United States | Employment Service. You or your employer may appeal the decision of |the Employment Service to the War ! Manpower Commission. The Em i ployment Service will tell you how to make this appeal which will be |considered by a committee com posed of a representative of labor, a representative of management and ‘a representative of the War Man 'power Commission. Remember, 'however, that if you are working in lan essential activity you serve your‘ 'country best by staying on your job iunless special circumstances war rant a change. If you are attempt- Eing to secure a release, you should 'stay on your job until a decision has |been made. | Q. What should Ido to get a job iif I have not worked before, or if I ‘have not worked for a long time and 'therefore cannot get a Certificate of iPrior Employment? { A. Go to the nearest office of the iUnited States Employment Service. 'lf you already have found an em ‘ployer who will hire you, the Em 'ployment Service will, except in |special circumstances, give you a |referral card authorizing your em 'ployment with him. If you do not ‘have such a job offer, you will be linterviewed and referred to a job /where you are needed, unless one for which you are qualified is not ‘available at the time. In the latter |situation your registration will be ;filed and you will be notified when ‘there is an opening to which you can ibe referred. In any event, every ;consideration will be given your |preference for type and place of lemployment in relation to existing |job opportunities. You can com 'municate by mail with the Employ ‘ment Service if you live in a locality iwhich is inconveniently distant from 'any of its offices. | Q. What should an employer do 'if he wishes to employ an individual (who has not worked before? | A. Send the individual to the ‘nearest office of the United States| | Employment Service for a referral | ‘card which will be issued as indi !cated in the answer to the previous | question. | Q. What should Idoif I plan to ‘take a job outside the State of Maryland? ' A. You should go to the nearest joffice of the United States Employ ‘ment Service to request a release or ! other employment authorization. The employer to whom you wish to |go may require some authorization ‘before hiring you as regulations con 'cerning job transfers are being ,adopted rapidly in most sections of 'the country. It is the policy of the | War Manpower Commission to dis 'courage persons from leaving em ‘ploy-ment in cities where labor is scarce. } | Q. Can any employer in Mary ]land employ anyone without a re {lease, certificate of prior employ 'ment or referral card from the 'United States Employment Service?i ’ A. No, unless the employment is on a farm, by the State of Maryland or any political sub-division there of, including the City of Baltimore, \the counties and incorporated towns | ———— A Late Start. “Bobby, how old is your sister?” “Twenty-five.” . “Twenty-five?
