In a scathing rebuke, C.L. Rosemund, president of the International Federation of Technical Engineers, Architects, and Draftsmen Unions AFL, blasted the administration’s overtime pay bill on June 11, 1942, before the House Civil Service Committee. The measure, designed to help Federal workers meet rising living costs, was met with fierce opposition by Rosemund, who has spent 25 years fighting for workers’ rights. ‘No private employer would have the temerity to suggest such a procedure,’ Rosemund declared, his voice dripping with disdain.
