The problem: "super-seniority" - meaning that an honorably discharged veteran is entitled to his old job, or a similar one, with his old company for at least a year, even though it means firing an employe with greater seniority. Thus, when Welder Fishgold was laid off from Brooklyn's Sullivan Drydock & Repair Corp. for ten days, while nonveterans with more seniority were kept on (TIME, June 18), Selective Service backed him in the first court test of super-seniority...
