Being a Supreme Court justice is a very nice job, indeed. Its practically impossible for a Supreme Court justice to get fired. A Supreme Court justice is so secure he is probably one of the few people in the United States who could kick President Nixon in the pants on a Sunday and morning on the White House lawn get away with it. A Supreme Court justice doesnt have to stand for election. He has the job for life . . . and is never forced to resign unless he really feels like it. THE PAY IS GOOD, the hours not bad. The court opens sessions on the first Monday in October, and recesses about the first of June each year this makes for a nice vacation. The Court day stalls at 10 in the morning . . . and ends fairly early in the afternoon. Even during the session, the judges only sit two weeks at a tin e.

Mr. Robles said court decisions have established a number of points important to Chicanos: Damaged parties can sue for back wages denied through discrimination, even those incurred prior to passage of the law. He said this principle applies in particular to seniority scales, and obliges employers to eliminate the effects of past discrimination. Use of Class Action Class actions are legal in job discrimination cases, and one may file suit against a company for practicing it, even if he has not made application for a job. Attempts to fight discrimination using such means as labor unions does not preclude also taking court action. Mr. Robles said the EEOC does not currently have enforcement powers, but there is a bill coming to confe:. nce in Congress, which will give it the authority to issue cease and desist orders, which can be stopped only be a federal district court. -- The bill will also let federal employes file suit against the Civil Service Com Added Pay to ? 275 in Layoffs i Out of 477 Kennecott Copper Corp, employes to be laid off Monday, approximately 275 are eligible for supplemental benefits (SUB), paid unemployment directly by the company, as well as regular unemployment compensation, J.

These 12 men are among some 30,000 eorpsmen discharged annually from the military who have some medical training, meaning from 640 to 2,000 hours of formal didactic and laboratory training in human anatomy, physiology, medicine, surgery, pharmacology, orthopedics and patient histories and physicals.

However, once discharged, the thousands of dollars of public funds up to $20,000 per man invested in developing medical capabilities and potential care are lost when they work as truck drivers, insura rice agents or retail sidesmen. The majority are lost to the present medical care system because, until recently, there didn't exist a civilian framework within which their skills could be utilized.
