Petain’s Labor Draft Laws Put French Citizens to Work
The Petain government enacts compulsory labor for French men ages 18 to 50 and un married women 21 to 35, with power to assign workers to state needs and punishments up to five years in prison and heavy fines. Employers must rely on government labor service and cannot hire without authorization. The policy aims to concentrate industry, extend working hours, and move labor to Germany or other national demands, with crews and long terms envisaged.
