New Deferment Process Allows Appeal by State Board
Workers claiming occupational deferment from the draft may appeal to the state where they work instead of their home board. Employers may file the appeal for the employee with the local board. The change, praised by manufacturers, grants automatic approval and echoes a wartime practice. The rule applies to occupational deferments including agricultural work and shifts appeals from home to work state boards.
