US Calls State
Health Insurance
‘Most Liberal!’

W York State's health insure
plan for its employees has
been termed “the most lberal and

its employees with protection
against medical costs.”

& survey of the si ide insure
ance plan conducted by the U. 8,
Department of Health, Education

and Welfare.

The results of the survey were

forwarded to The Leader by State
Sen urge R, Metcalf, of Au-
burn, co-author of the plan.

The Federal department survey

‘to cope with the varying casts of

Said the report: “Provision of

contributory health Insurance to
a large group of employees located
Jn different areas, some of them
in small towns and others in
| metropolitan areas, including =
large group in the largest metro-
politan area in the United States,
is a complicated undertaking.”

| The survey declared that the
New York program, therefore, has

Even More Troopers Needed

Tt Is good news to read in the New York Herald Tribune of De-
cember 1 that the State Police are expected to add 386 men to the
foree during the coming year. We definitely think the addition should
be much greater so the problem of long hours of duty which the
trooper must serve can be alleviated,

Tt Is fantastic in 1957 America that a body of workers should
have to work over 100 hours per week. The news story spells out that
fact when It says “Troopers live in barracks except for 42 hours a
week and another four days off monthly ..." This work week {s almost
without precedent in American history. In the middle ‘90s, the com-
mon 12-hour work day only added up to 72 hours per week, and the
work week since then has been decreasing steadily, Even the 48-hour
work week of the hospital attendant two years back seems like a
Paradise in comparison,

‘The continuee long work week for the troopers {a difficult to
understand in the face of the legislative mandate, signed by the
Governor in 1956, that a 40-hour week be the maximum for all
policemen in all of the cites of the State.

Average Is 18 Hours
‘The strenuousness of the 102-hour week is further accentuated
when it is compared to the police forces in our Amorican cities. The
Munetpal Year Book of 1957 reports that the median work week for
Policemen in all cities over 10,000 |s 48 hours. A further glance at the

table in the same volume Hsting the data on city polite shows out of |

almost 1.200 cities only 31 are noted as requiring 60 or more work
hours per week, Twenty-six of these are for communities in the
10,000 to 25,000 population range and the other five are found in the
25-50,000 population class.

Duties Growing More Complex

One of the re.sons for the exceptionally long work hours of the
State police may be the growing complexities of thelr duties. No
longer are they # corps dealing with crime prevention or detection
alone. The automobile and highways with all thelr problems have
added the onerous burden of traffic control to thelr shoulders,

It is apparent that this valuable corps of men should be viewed
In the light of their present day duties, The demands of 1957 are quite
different from those of 1917 when the police were first organized,
Not to face up to the problem realistically is only to aggravate the

restiveness and loss of morale among the men,

CSEA Sought Improvements

‘The commission remarked in its
Auburn report that “all wall posts
are now provided with satisfactory
sanitary facilities, a commendable
improvement.” Completion of the
improvements follows a long cam-
paign by the Clvil Service Employ-
ees Association,

Of the Auburn school for in-

“efficient administration of the

of trained personnel.”

‘The commission commends con-

Program of Hiring
Older Workers Is

Termed Successful

ALBANY, Dec. 9 — Governor
Harriman has praised the efforts
of the State Employment Service
in placing older workers In Jobs,
declaring:

“Due to the concentrated effort
we are making to break down pre~
Judices against the hiring of older
people, placements of older work~
ers in New York are running
ahead of the national average.”

Tha Governor, describing the
success of the State Employment
Service In placing older fob ap-
plicants, said: “In New York, 26
percent of all Jobs filled go to
older workers, compared to a na-
tional average of 14 percent."

New York has been appropriat-
ing stand-by funda for several
years to employ additional spectal-
ized counselors and placement ex~
perts in helping to place older
workers, In event federal appro-
priations are insuffictent. Federal
ald has been insufficient, the Gov
ernor said,

Mr, Harriman sald the state
Program was bringing “rich re-
turns."

State Director of Classification
and Compensation.

In his letter Mr, Powers said:

“At the last annual meeting of
the Civil Service Employees Asso-
ciation, the delegates unanimously
adopted the following resolution:

“RESOLVED, that the Associa-
tion take appropriate action to
insure that incumbents of the
Maintenance Tradesman title,

after the completion of five years
servier, be automatically pro-
moted, or reclassified to the ap-)
| proptiate Journeyman title.” |

“There are a significant nuin-—
ber of Instances where the States)
classification plan could be more)
accurate and precise by applies-)
tlon of the principle we seek to)
these trade positions, This is be-
cause employees holding sub-
Journeyman items, when sufll-
| clently experienced so that they
| are capable of performing and do
|in fact perfor'm Journeyman level
work find reclassification imprac-
tlble because of a rigid staffing
| pattern, We feel sure than an
| investigation by your Division
would show significant numbers
of instances where a Journeyman
and a sub-journeyman work side
| by side performing stibstantially |

Th any event it ts our feeling that
this study should be updated and
once again this entire problem
re-examined,

“Because of the importance of
this matter your careful consider=
ation and advice to us would be
appreciated.”

Mr. Kelly wrote to Mr. Powers
stating “I am sure that you
understand this to be a major and
Important deviation from the
Present Classification pattern
which ts based ehiefly on the du-
Hes and responsibilities of indi-
vidual positions rather than quall-
fications of the incumbents. This,
of course, will require a con-

olderable degree of Intensive
etudy .. J”

Vested Rights Needed
For Pension Justice

|
UBLIC employees during the coming months will be

scanning news from the State Legislature with anxi-
ous eyes. Among the items affecting their future will be
legislation pertaining to retirement and jt is in this area
that the State can make up to the employee what it has
often failed with in the way of salaries.

Innumerable improvements can be made to the State
Retirement System and foremost among these improve-
ments is the thesis of vested rights.

When entering State service, a worker is allowed to
Join the State Retirement System by contributions from
his pay check which are just about matched by State
funds. These two funds are the investment by which an
employee, if he remains on the job until retirement, earns
a pension for his older years,

However, as matters stand now, any worker leaving
Blate service before retirement is not entitled to any
share in the State’s investment in his pensions.

There is no doubt that this Is an unfair and unjust
situation,

Vested Rights Logical

By entering into a contract with a public employee,
which is what the State does when it agrees to contribute
to the employee's pension, the State is agreeing that such
a contract is deserved and earned by the employee.

Asa matter of fact, the State has often argued that
the retirement benefits it offers are good reasons for en-
tering public service, It follows, then, that retirement
benefits are an integral part of the careers offered by
Btate service and that the State's contributions to a re-
tirement system are earned by an employee.

Therefore, when after many years of service
ployee is able to improve his mode of living by accept-
ing a superior position in private indust Wwe see no rea-
son why the State should disallow any claim on the in-
vestment it has made on behalf of the employee, The em-
ployee has earned a share in the State’s investment. He
has earned it by right of contract and by duty of service.

Vested rights, therefore, are a must in retirement im-
provements for 1958,

an em-

Job.

| ‘The guards are uniformed per-
sonnel, sworn in and deputized
by the Police Department, and do
police work. They share with
housing officers the responsibility
of maintaining Jaw and order in
housing projects and construction
| sites, In many projects there are
|no housing officers, so guards
have the sole responsibility for
police work. In some projects
| ewards have been authorized to
| carry guns,

Housing guards have the most
frequent contact with the tenants
after 5 P.M, The guards work a
4 to 12 and 12 to 8, They handle
thousands of emergeney problems.

The morale of the guards ts
low because (1), pay has not been
raised In the past four years, al-
though every other maintenance
title In the City government or
allied regency has received one;
(2), although often doing police
work, as specia) officers with the
power to arrest, as a unit they are
| not Issued weapons with which to
| protect themselves, though some
| guards do carry guns supplied be~
| fore the housing officers appeared
on the scene;
housing officers trying to push
them out of the Security Division
although many guards have serv~
ed as special officers for eight
years,

Despite the constant threat of
being eliminated, and the lack of
protection to back up uniformed
officer duties, It 4s miraculous
that guards continue to do an offi-
cient Job for $2,750 a year,

WHY MANY SANITATION)

Editor, The Leader:

By invitation of the officers of
Local 831 of the Teamsters Union,
I spoke to about 600 stewards of
that union about Social Security
as It affected sanitationmen. I ex-
plained the major provisions of
the State law, the transitory retro-
active provisions, and the main
features of coverage, benefits, and
employee contributions under the
Federal Social Sccurity Law.

men in the administration of the
Career and Salary Plan.

Raise to Almost Everybody

(3), guards find |

He enjoys his work not only be-
cause of its nature but because he
| feels that the Career and Salary
| Plan js a boon to City employees

and to the ity government itself.

“Practically every City employee

included in the Plan got a raise,”
he said with much satisfaction.

| His bureau fs a sort of clearing
house for studies affecting appeals
for both upward reallocation and
reclassification. The actual au-
thority for making recommenda-
tions rests with the appeals board,
and finn! authority with the Board
of Estimate,

Sits in for Schechter Sometimes

Personnel’ Director Joseph
Schechter ts a member of all four
appeals boards. Mr, Reilly js his
principal alternaty on those
boards, Besides, Mr. Reilly is Hai-
son officer for the Personnel De-
partment in dealings with the of-
fice of Budget Director Abraliam
D. Beame. Hardly a day passes
that Mr, Reilly is not at the
Budget Director's office, where
he confers principally with John
J. Carty, chief examiner, When
some controversial issue is sub-
Ject to the customery dual rec-
ommendation, Messrs, Reilly and
Carty try to reach agreement, and
submit their joint proposals to
their respective supervisors,
Messrs. Schechter and Beame,
Usually the recommendations
stick,

Mr, Reilly worked for the State
Departinent of Labor, in the jun-
for consultation service, which
dealt with getting Jobs in private
industry for the younger folk
That post he got by passing high
in an open-competitive examina-
tion,

Has Federal Career

Next he became civilian per-
sonnel officer for the Army under
similar circumstances. During that
period he took « Federal examina~
fon \o qualify for the highest
arade in the administrative serv-
¢. He qualified, in fact, was
bout the only one from the
Metropolitan District who did, His
Federal service was in New York
| City, and he could have bettered

civilian personnel interests of the
Quartermaster, the Chemical, and
the Ordnance Corps. Three at a
clip were not too many for him,
for he had been trained in per-
sonnel administration, as well as
well experienced In !t by this time.
Besides, having been a math ma-
Jor at St. Johns University in
Brooklyn didn't hinder him eny,
nor did the master’s degree he
got at the same Institulion of
learning. In addition, he took ad-
vanced management and person-
nel courses at NYU and Fordham
University,

No End to It

He entered City service after
the bare basis for the Career and
Salary Plan had been laid, but
before any of the implementing
resolutions were adopted, All told,
he drew up 88 resolutions, 66 of
| which were adopted by the Board
|of Estimate, They cover about
| 85,000 employees directly under
the Plan, and about 40,000 others,
men and women in the uniformed
| forces whose salary considerations
|are committed to him for study
| and report.

Another project that he runs ts
the desk audits of the varios
| positions in the NYC Civil Sery-
ice, These are completed at the
rate of 20,000 a year, so that It

| will be about two years before the
| City catches up with tteelf, and
|after that, to a degree, will have
| to start all over again, One of the
| delights of the City's personnel
| etructure is the fact that it keeps
changing,

“The Career and Salary Plan,"
said Mr. Reilly, “brought order out
of chaos In the City's Job struc-
ture, and introduced innovations
of far-reaching Importance.”
| He Usted the major precedents
as the right of ench and every
|employee to be heard on any ob-

fection he had to title or pay,
through both the original process
and the appeals procedure. He de-
seribed these as precedents in
government, with employees
represented on all four appeals
boards.

He is the co-author of the rules
that govern the four appeals
boards,

Future Brought into Foeus

“Another milestone was the es-
tablishment of Litles, pay and pro-
motion Ines so that every em-
ployee would be paid the value
of the services he performs," he
said, “It is an important Incentive
to a career to be able to see where
you will be in the years ahead.”

He was referring to the annual
increment plan, too, since the plan
provides mandatory increments
for satisfactory service,

At the end of this year 57,000
of the 85,000 jobs will have been
desk audited, leaving 28,000 to go,
so maybe the full two additional
years won't be required; also, of
fhe 1,100 titles in the City service,
all except 300 have-been equipped
with scientific specifications ree
sulting from studies of tUtles by
his staff,

did then, T don't understand what
you said in the October 29 issne
when you stated that “the benefits
Will be less” if 1 should convert
my coverage.

Tt is true that the HIP part of
your option will remain the same.
However, because the Blue Cross
coverage that you are getting
through this new plan for State
employees ls a more complete cov-
ernge than the standard Bhie
Cross plan, your benefits under
the HIP option, as a whole, will be
reduced because the Blue Cross |
Coverage will revert back to what-
ever standard contract is in ef-
fect at the time you convert.

T still do not understand the
provisions about an existing preg-
nancy. Will you please explain
them again.

Statewide, If you are now preg-
nant, you will receive coverage
for termination of your pregnancy
under all three parts of the Siate-
wide Plan, This means, If you
have a normal delivery, the al-
Jowance from Blue Cross will be
up to $75 and the allowance from
Blue Shield will aiso be up to $75,
thus making a maximum total of
$150 toward hospital and doctor
bills together. The major medical
portion of the Statewide Plan will
hot pick up any expenses of a
hormal delivery, However, in case
of severe medical or surgical com-
plications to either the mother or
the child, full Blue Cross, Blue
Shield and major medical benefits
are availabie,

GUI, Under the GHI option, up
to $75 will be available to you
through Blue Cross toward the
hospital bill, if you are now preg
nant, GHI does not cover preg-
nancies that exist on Docember 5.
Again, in case of severe surgical
oF medical complications to elther
the mother or the ehild, full bene-
fits of both Blue Cross and GHI
will be avaliable,

HIP, Under the HIP option, ex-
isting pregancles are covered, Blue
Cross allowa up to $75 towards
the hospital expenses on a normal
delivery. HIP does not make an al-
lowance, as you receive the serv-
feos of the doctor in return for
your premium payment rather
than a bil) from the doctor and an
allowance from an insirance com~-
pany, Asin, in case of severe
medical or surgical comptioations
to either the mother or the child,
full benefits of both Blue Cross
and HIP are available.
