Work or Fight Regulations Are Made Public
Regulations detail who is considered non productive in wartime service. They specify that food service workers, elevator attendants, ushers, sand in amusements, domestic staff, and many clerks fall under non productive employment unless performing specified heavy or essential tasks. The rule excludes certain managers, specialized roles, and those engaged in heavy work. Boards must provide US Employment Service with names of registrants summoned for examination.
