Courts split on veteran job seniority rights
Selective Service Chief Maj. Gen. Lewis Bowers Hershey said two courts upheld a veteran right to his former job for one year if positions are available while two others ruled a veteran isn’t entitled to continued work after reins for a position where he would have been laid off. He noted an expected circuit court ruling will impact this issue, with many requests for help but few reaching the Justice Department.
