Freezing of Workers Is Ordered in War Industries
The war manpower commission ordered the freezing of essential workers in critical war industries to their present jobs to curb labor piracy and stabilize production. The United States Employment Service becomes the sole hiring agency for critical skills, with effect anticipated immediately. The move aims to prevent workers from moving between plants without approval, potentially affecting hundreds of thousands or more, and to keep irreplaceable workers at their posts while draft deferments are considered.
