Relief Workers Must Accept Private Jobs Reverses Labor Policy
Washington January 24. Public Works contractors complained relief workers refused private PWA jobs, prompting a total reversal of WPA policy. Harry Hopkins ordered workers to be assigned to PWA tasks, allowing delays and reassignments if needed. He empowered state directors to raise wages and shorten hours to attract skilled labor. The move prioritizes federal projects and may raise costs for contractors who rely on relief labor.
