Description
The plaintiffs-appellants, all honorably discharged soldiers, sailors or marines of the United States, some with and some without war-time military service, and all employed under civil service as "leadingmen" in various capacities, as "leadingman millman" and "leadingman shipper and caulker", in the United States Naval Shipyard at Boston, brought the instant action on their own behalf, and on behalf of all other similarly situated members in good standing of the Boston Navy Yard War Veterans Association who may care to come in and be joined as party plaintiffs, to restrain the Commandant of the Yard, its public relations officer, and other of its higher officials, from proceeding with plans for reducing or demoting them from their supervisory positions. The plaintiffs allege in their complaint that they enjoy permanent civil service status with efficiency ratings of "good", and that the defendants are about "to demote the plaintiffs to inferior positions at great loss of pay and prestige" while retaining non-veterans "in the positions which rightfully belong" to them. It is not categorically alleged in the complaint, but counsel for the plaintiffs in brief and argument strenuously contend, and counsel for the defendants apparently concede, that the plaintiffs threatened reduction in rank is due to a post-war reduction in the labor force employed in the Navy Yard.
