THE PUBLIC
EMPLOYEE

By JOSEPH F. FEILY
President,
Civil Service Employees Association

A Progress Report

In order that the membership of our Association be completely
informed as to the progress of our discussions with the Administra-
» ton, I would like to make this statement:

In our meeting with the Governor he told ‘your representatives
that there was no possibility of a general pay Increase this year be-
Cause of the stringent necessities of a balanced budget, He did say,
however, that our request was considered and that he was hopeful
& substantial adjustment might be made in his next year's budget,

We explained that “next year was too late, Our need was im-
mediate and pressing and next year’s salary legislation would only
Tesult in a delay of two years before any increase in our State em-
Dloyees’ salaries. He then asked your representatives if we had any
further proposals that would be of benefit to the employees and thus
incirectty benefit the State as a whole. Your representatives referred
to our resolutions enacted by the delegates during our October meet-
fing placing special emphasis on Resolution 1(A), which calls for a
Teduction in each State employee's contribution to the retirement
aystem by § percentage points, thereby adding to take-home pay.
‘The Governor indicated strong interest in this proposal and requested

An opportunity to study it,

Governor Has Shown Strong Interest

He also indicated interest in our resolutions calling for vesting
Aafier 15 years of State service and increased pensions for retired
employees, moving expenses for employees, increased allowance for
travel expenses, and our resolution calling for “no loss” of pay re-
tention of an employee who is demoted through no fault of his own,
The wbove Mat is not all inclusive but jt indicates what, in my
estimation, are measures which are well within the possibility of be-
coming effective during the coming fiscal year starting April 1, 1900,
Youn’ representatives have met with the Budget Director, Dr, T. Nor-
Man Hurd, on numerous occasions and at our last movting on Tues-
day, February 24th, he said he would make every effort to give us
Bi seninite answers trom the administration's point of view on out various
requests.
Obviously, we cannot report all the details of our discussions at
this time However, It seemed extremely important to me to report to
You, our membership, just where our discussions now stand.

Introduction of the salary legis-

delegates to the annual meeting
of the CSEA, held here last Octo-
ber, In the meantime, Gov. Nelson
A. Rockefeller has publicly de-
clared his tight budget for the
coming fiscal year would allow
for no general salary increase, He
has indicated that a “substantial”
adjustment would be recom-
mended next year “after putting
the fiscal affairs of the state in
order.”

Dismisses 723

Provisionals; Replacements
Expected for Most Positions

(Soeciat 10 ‘The Lender)

ALBANY, Feb, 22 — The posi-
ton of the State Civil Service
Commission toward long-term
provisionals has been spelled out
in a memorandum,

‘The statement follows news re-
| ports published in the daily press
that the Rockefeller administra-
| tion had fired 723 provisional em-
ployes in state service over the
| Past six months. They had held
|thelr jobs without qualifying by
examination, for more than two
years.

‘There were reports, although
not confirmed, that many of the
provisionals had been replaced by
appointees of the new administra-
tion, Many of those dropped had
been hired during the former
Harriman administration.

The Memo

‘The statement reads:

“A more systematic approach
to our never-ending attack on
long-term provisional employ-
ments in the State service has re-
sulted in a decrease In such em-
ployments to the point where they
now represent about one-half of
one percent of the 71,736 competi-
tive class positions.

“When in August 1959 we asked
the operating departments and
agencies to assist in our “all-out
drive” to replace with fully quali-
fic’ employees those who have
served in provisional status for
periods of more than two or three
| years, we had 1,170 specific indi-
vidual cases in mind. Today, only
447 of them remain on the pay-
rol) in such status—a decrease of
more than 60 percent,

“A stepped up examinatic
program, examinations that
open continuously, testing of «
didates in high school and college
classrooms, and improved place-
|ment procedures are all integral
perts of our drive to replace pro-

{many instances examinations

have already been held or are
scheduled and provisionals will be
jreplaced as soon as lists of eli-
| gibles are available. In other cases
| provisionals will be dropped when
specific tasks on which they are
|working are completed; time
jlimits for completion of these
tasks have been set.

No Total Elimination Seen

“That we will, however, be able
to do away completely with pro-
visionals Is a goal seemingly be-
yond attainment. Even in the most
| favorable labor market there will
\kely be a number of such temp-
|orary employments, Primary rea-
sons for this are the chronic
| shortages of personnel in certain
professional and technical fields

(eg., psychiatry, clinical psychol-
Joy, occupational and physical
therapy, social case work, and
library sclence); the locations of
employment, particularly in the
institutions; and the unavoidable
lag in time between certification
of an eligible Ust and selection of
an appointee.

“The accompanying table shows
the number of provisionals which
State departments and agencies
in August 1959 were directed to

been particularly strongly identi-

Paul R. Screvane, who became the

City Bulldings Commissioner Peter

of the Department's present staff
to" Inspect more than one third
of the City’s commercial and
public buildings yearly,

‘This, he said “exposes the pub-
Ne to the danger of serious injury
or loss of life by fire or collapse.”

He said that many of the build
ings that don't get inspected are
virtual firetraps and "only good
fortune has prevented serious dis-
asters.”

A $1,204,077 increase Js sought
for the fiseal year beginning July.

Leaving K.P.0. or HPO. to

Effective immediately, on
ines where the length of the
run makes it necessary that
crew have a lunch break dur-
ing advance, or at an inter-
mediate point, instructions on
allowing members of crew to
leave car to purchase food
will be:

1, In crews of 6 mgn or Jess,
only 1 man will be allowed to
Jeave car to purchase food
for the crew, a

2. In trains where there are
More than 6 men in a crew,
not more than 2 men in each
crew will be allowed to leave
for that purpose.

In HPO's, points have been
designated enroute where the
driver ts allowed time to leave
the vehicle to eat, These
points have for the most part
been stlected due to volume
of mall handled, requiring a
long stop. It ix possible there-
fore, for the driy vo eat

Instances have been brought
to our attention where desig-
nated stop points are not be-
tsed by the driver, and
stops are made at un-

mobile

scheduled points where driver
and crew leave the vehicle to
ent.

This practice will be discon-
tinued immediately. Crews of
the HPO's are expected to eat
enroute, without having to
Jeave the vehicle.

MS5.0.'s in charge of HPO
service will give this matter
their careful attention and
take corrective action in all
eases where current instruc-

There is no objection to
driver purchasing food for the
crew, while on his lunch
break and bringing it back to

Failure to follow the above
instructions, will result in

disciplinary action against

Time for Firemen and
Cavanaugh to Patch Up
For Sake of Petition

N THE MIDDLE of a petition drive to get 2 million backers

for a $6,000 to $7,500 wage scale, the two organizations
representing New York City's uniformed firemen have become
engaged in an unfortunate but bitter grievance dispute with
their head man, Fire Commissioner Edward F. Cavanagh, Jr.,
who says he favors the pay raise sought.

The unfortunate timing of this dispute takes attention
from the petition drive, both in the minds of the men and
the public whose support they seek.

The dispute arises from the firemen's charges of “pica-
yune tactics and petty harassment” and of union-busting
and other anti-labor activities. Examples cited by U.F.A.
spokesmen Include charges drawn against officers-in-charge
of Staten Island companies for having dirty equipment when
that equipment, to be inspected, must now go all the way to

«Welfare Isiand instead of being inspected in its own station.
It ts argued that such equipment is bound to pick up dust,
dirt, tar and mud enroute to Welfare Island inspections.

BEekmen 2-6010

Another example cited was an inspection of equipment}

that had just returned from fighting a fire. The equipment
was found dirty and charges were automatically preferred.
The firemen have no dispute with good discipline and high
standards of cleanliness and efficiency for personnel and
equipment, but on the contrary, are very much in favor of
both, because they realize their lives depend upon it.

Mr, Cavanagh has stated that he was union-minded
“before some of these (officers of the U.F.A, and U.F.O.A,)
guys knew how to spell the word.” It is a question whether
the Commissioner is intentionally harassing his men or
diverting attention from their petition drive for living wages
and genuinely Impartial arbitration.

It is to be ernestly hoped that Labor Commissioner
Harold A. Felix, to whom Mayor Wagner has given the re-
sponsibility for investigating the feud, will be able to bring
both sides to an understanding so everyone can get back to
the petition.

E THINK the Civil Service Employees Association

makes a strong point when {it suggests that the pres-

ent truck weighers should be kept at work weighing trucks

with portable equipment even if the fixed stations are aban-
doned.

Here we think the state either intends to enforce the law
on truck weights or it doesn't. And if it intends to, it needs a
force of men to do it. The troopers have too many chores
already to assume this additional chore,

As to the money involved, it seems to us that the state
will get sufficient money in added taxes and save sufficient
money by cutting down road damage from overweight trucks
to make a good-sized force pay its way,

As we have indicated before we do not pretend to know
what's the best way to enforce the laws on truck weights,
but we do think that like all laws these should be enforced,

Capitol Pickets

ISGUIDED 1s the best word for the officers and mem-
bers of the labor union which threw up a “picket line”
around the Capitol on Friday,

As representatives of a group seeking more funds for
balary increases, they were mistaken in their tactics, As rep-
resentatives of State employees, they did an injustice to the
thousands of public workers who would not associate them-
selves with such an unwonted demonstration,

Slurring placards, mass marching, derisive chanting—
these are too reminiscent of certain strife (including some of

Security problems sent in by our
readers and answered by a legal
expert in the fleld. Anyone with
& question on Social Seeurity
should write It out and send it
to the Social Security Editor, Civil
Service Leader, 97 Duane St, New
York 7, N.Y.

—

Tam 68 years wd. I ave beat

drawing social security benefits
for 3 years. I have been offered
a Job with the State which will

—|pay me $1,800 per year. This job

is not covered by social security.
Can I draw all of my checks for
the year?

No, Earnings from work, whe-
ther or not covered by social se~
curity are counted In determining
how many social security benefit
checks ean be paid to you. You
would be entitled to only 4 checks
for the year, You will not be due
one check for each $80 or part of
$80 that your carnings exceed
$1,200,

eae

When I filed my application for
Social security benefits last year,
I expected that I would earn about
$3,000 as net profit from my busi-
ness and I did not draw any
checks. On the first of June, my
wife and I went to Florida and
stayed through August. I have
heard that even though I netted
over $3,000 last year I will be en-
Utled to checks for June, July
and August. Is this true?

Yes. This is true. No matter
what your earnings for the
year, you are entitled to a check
for any month in which you did
not render substantial services in
the operation of your business...

see

T filed for social security bene-
fits in January, 1958, At that time
I was earning over $4,000 per year
fs an active partner in a business.
In June of 1959 I stopped active-
ly participating In the business
and became a silent partner.
Someone has told me that I am
entitled to benefits beginning with
June, 1959, Is this correct?

Yes, If you are self-employed
but not active in the operation
of your business, you would be en-
titled to checks beginning with the
first month you turend over the
operation 0; the business to some-
one else,

IT am golng to retire from my
job in February. Is there anything
T should bring into the social se-
curity office when I come in to
make my application for old-age
benefits?

Yes, indeed there Is. To speed
up your claim it would help if you
would bring with you some proof
of your age. Den’t be worried if
You don't have a birth certificate,
A telephone call to the social se-
curity office before coming in will
result in a social security repre-
sentative discussing with you a
variety of types of acceptable

Source other than a birth certifi-
cate, It would also help a great
deal if you wiuld bring your state-

ment of earnings (W-2 form)
from your employer for the previ-
ous year, If re self-employed,
bring along a copy of your 1959
income tax return. Also, be sure
to bring your social security card
with you, You'd be surprised how
many applicants forget it,

ARMORY EMPLOYEES
NEED RAISE, TOO
Editor, The Leader;

It seems funny why Governor
Rockefeller should be against giv-
ing the state armory employees
a raise In pay. The armory em-
Ployees were one of the few not
to get the raise of $300 In 1956
as Authorized by the Legisiature.

Each armory employee has to
have a working knowledge of
painting, carpentry, miasonery,
electric repairs, round the clock
guarding of State and Federal
equipment and also the operation
of stationery steam type boilers.
Tt seems as if this knowledge is
worth more than the proposed
Tax-free unemployment bill now
pending action in Legislature.

family on less than $3,200 a
year unless we have to work on
outside jobs to exist?

Should this be necessary?

If he ean do it for them, he
should be able to do it for all

one or a select few is good for all.
So why not just junk the Lyons
Law altogether or maybe require
employees to live within a 60 or
70 mile radius of City Hall?

CONDEMNS EFFORT TO
AMEND TEACHERS’ PENSIONS
Editor, The Leader:

I read with great Interest, the
press coverage of the effort of
Stanley Isancs to get the teachers’
pension law amended so as to re«
quire the giving of 3 days’ notice
of intention to retire,

Mr. Isaacs’ type of thinking Is
all too common today. The good
old-fashioned Americanism re-
flected in: “better a hundred guil-
ty go free than an innocent man
be convicted" has fallen by the
wayside. Mr. Isaacs makes a point
of the two employees, members of
the Teachers’ Retirement System,
who retired after belng allegedly
involved in payroll frauds, What
labout the tens of thousands of
honest and faithful teachers and
administrative employees who
reach retirement age without be-
ing touched even by the breath of
scandal? Why should such teach-
ers and administrative employees
be penalized for the misdeeds of
an infinitesimal few?

ing thirty days’ notice of intention

bed provision”) {s an important

most cases were those where death
was Imminent, The difference in
benefits payable to the beneficiary
upon the death of a retired mem-
ber may be considerably more
than the benefits payable to the
beneficiary of a member dying in
service.

On November 8, 1938, the people
of the State of New York, in their
wisdom, amended the Constitution
to provide that after July 1, 1940,
“membership in any pension or
retirement aystem of the State or
a civil division thereof shall be a
contractual relationship, the ben-
efits of which shall not be dim-
inished or impaired.” (Article V,
Section 7),

The Court of Appeals, recently,
in the case of Birnbaum vs. New
York State Teachers Retirement
system, held that the members of
the system had contractual rights
which could not be impaired, and
the attempt to adversely change
the mortality tables as to present
members was unconstitutional.

Tt appears, therefore, that the
right of present members of cer-
tain pension systema to retire
without giving thirty day's notice
of Intention will be protected by
the Constitution, immune from
attack In vlew of the constitution-
al safeguards and the decision of

Why does
hospital care cost
more today?

$250—that’s today’s average hospital
bill! But you may have to pay $500—
or even $5,000—the next time you're
sick, Here's why:

Today's hospital is probably the
most complex institution in the world
—and oné of the most expensive to run,

You'll find departments and services
that weren't even dreamed of a few years
ago, such as premature nursery and cardio-
pulmonary laboratory. Other departments,
like x-ray therapy and physiotherapy, pro-
vide hundreds of new services—expensive
fo be sure, but vital to quick, complete
recovery.

An appendix case, for instance, may
need the services of twenty or more differ-
ent departments. To predict possible com-
plications, a number of laboratory tests
must be made before the operation. After-

“Blue Cross ail

wards—still more tests make sure every-
thing is going all right.

These tests cost money; and so do the
services of the operating room, the recovery
room, the pharmacy and dietetic kitchen
—but they pay off in shorter hospital stays
and healthier patients. 90% of the d
provided by a modern hi
for instince, were unknown just a few

In all departments costly modernization
is taking place; and in a modern hospital
there may be $0 different departments—
most of them staffed 24 hours a day,

Miracle machines
behind the scenes

“Incurably ill" is a diagnosis you don’t
hear as often these days—thanks, in part,
to miraculous new life-saving machines,

Imagine a device that pumps blood . . .
and breathes! Machines like this can take
over for a patient's own heart and Jungs
while the surgeon performs an intricate
repair job inside the heart!

Imagine an automatic alarm that sum-
mons a nurse when the patient's blood
pressure reaches a critical level~-new 3-
dimensional x-ray movies of the heart...
an electronic stethoscope that lets the
doctor take an unborn child's pulse! These
are just a few new developments,

Miracle machines
need people to run them

Of course, it takes people to run these
machines and interpret their results. . +

people who must have special skills and
years of special training. Unlike a factory
‘ora business where machines replace people
—in a hospital, they call for more people.

For instance, the use of the artificial
kidney for a single patient with uremia re-
quires the services of eighteen doctors,
nurses, and special technicians! No won-
der that 70° of today’s hospital bill is for
human services.

All hospital costs up

12 years ago, your basket of groceries may
have cost $10—but today, those same

groceries cost you $17. And just like you,

hospitals must pay more for groceries—
and for linens, dishes, brooms, paper nap-
kins, and literally thousands of other
housekeeping items,

Along with prices, wage rates have gone
up. In addition, today's average general
hospital employs almost twice as many
people as it did in 1946, And your hospital
must be “open for business” 24 hours a
day, 7 days a week, 365 days a year!

There's no doubt about it—modern
medical care is saving lives and restoring
people to health sooner, But it costs more
money... for machines , . . for human
services ., . for new life-saving medicines.

That's why... today...
Blue Cross protection against
rising costs of modern hospital care
is needed more . . . and is worth more
+++ than ever before

CSEA an

On Numerous Major Employee Problems

Following a meeting Iast month
between representatives of the
Civil Service Employees Associa-
tion and J, Burch MeMorran,
Buperintendent of Public Works,

the CSEA summarized the vari-
ous matters discussed as a basis
for further negotiations on Pub-
Ne Works employee problems,

Because of the thoroughness of
detail presented in the Associs-
tion letter it {s reprinted here as
& report to Association members
working in the department,

The letter, from Joseph Feily,
SEA president, reads:

‘We appreciated the opportunity
of meeting with you and your
siafl on January 26th to review
the varlous problems confront-
ing our members employed by
your Department and to seek your
cooperation in securing equitable
remedies. As agreed at the mect-
ing, we are writing this letter to
summarize the various matters
discussed, which were a3 follows:

Higher Wage Ureed

(1) We urged an increase in
the rate of pay for laborers em-
ployed by the State Department
of Public Workes, and the con-
version of these hourly paid em~-
ployees to an annual pay basis. In
40 counties these Laborers re-
ceive $1.53 an hour, This rate is
very sub-standard; it does not
provide a livable wage and is far
below the rates for Laborers in
building trades and construction
trades and the rates which must
be paid by contractors who ac-
cept Public Work contracts. We
were gratified by your assurance
that your Department was very
interested In improving this rate
and had recommended conversion
to an annual pay basis. We believe
that immediate steps should be
taken to improve this pay rate.
‘The 3500 employees in your De-
partment involved in this matter
work year ‘round, and many have
25 years continuous service or
more and the conversion to the
annual pay basis is logical and
Proper.

(2) We requested Departmental
Support to legislation to reduce
the work week of the Barge Cana)
employees to a maximum 40
hours with no loss in take-home
pay, ‘This would provide for the
Canal employees the same treat-
ment which the State gave to ite
State Institutional employees dur-
ing recent years, in those cases
where employees worked regu~
larly on an overtime basis beyond
the 40 hour week.

(3) We sought assurance from
the Department to assist in every
way possible to achieve payment
to Barge Canal employees for va~
cations denied them on the same
basis that payment was made to

|
|

| mile
jOver such surfaces,

Engineering employees in the De- |

partment who were in like cir-
cumstances a few years ago, We
have been advised by Budget Di-
rector Hurd that a deficiency ap-
propriation will be recommended
in the 1960-61 Budget, to cover
the cost of compensation for
Canal employees who are entitled
to it on the basis of thelr nccumu-
lated vacation credit, Budget Di-
rector Hurd advised us, however.
that at least 25 days of the ac-
cumlated credits for each em-

‘We asked for cooperation of the
Department in speeding along as
much as they can the payments

to employees when the deficiency

appropriation is approved, We are
writing to Budget Director Hurd

to object to the 25-day provision
referred to.
Classification Survey

(4) We are very glad to note

that the classification survey in
District 8 is proceeding with the
hope that the results of this class-

ification will enable an adequate

staffing pattern in all the Dis-

tricts and thus enable the correc-)

tion of many instances of out-of-
title work, We ask that represent-
atives of our Association mect
with your staff when this class!-

fication survey, and other studies

now being made relative to staff~
ing, are developed to the point
where they can be intelligently
discussed,

(6) We were glad to receive
clarification relative to the new
procedure for payment of over-
time, It appears that there will

be improvement in the payment

of overtime on a “regular” basis.
We understand that part of the
delay in payment of emergency

——— | overtime results from the number
of offices the overtime payrolls

must pass through and be ap-
proved by before payment. We re-
quested that

involved to assist in processing
these payrolls as promptly as pos-

sible and we intend to appeal to

the Budget Director to seek some
method of approval in advance
to reduce the time employees
must walt for thelr overtime pay-
ment, We feel that the District

| Engineers should be authorized to

approve emergency overtime as
one means of improving the situ-
ation,

(6) Our Association expressed.
its disapproval of the limitations
on mileage and subsistence relm-

bursements in effect relative to
Works employee

several Public
groups. Generally, we believe that
employees should be eligible for
reimbursement up to the maxi-

mums established by the State|

Comptroller in his travel expense
regulations. We were glad to learn
that the Department supports the
elimination of the rule imposed
upon one group which requires the
employee to drive the first 10 miles
to and from his work assignment
each day on his own expense and
the same ts true relative to the
daily mileage reimbursement
Imitation ef $3.20 now imposed.

We feel that the employees who

jare forced to ride over unpaved

surfaces through mud and dust
to reach road construction sites
should receive at least 10 cents per
reimbursement for travel
These em-
ployees would like the State to
furnish them a car, but they must
use their own car to get to their
work sites and, of course, in a
short time thelr cara are unfit for
thelr personal and family use.
There Is a great deal that could
be sald concerning the unfairness
of expense reimbursement limita-
tions imposed by Departmental
rules but we fully understand that
to Improve such reimbursements
would require additional funds
which must be approved by the
Division of the Pudget. We will
appeal to the Budget Director for

imbursement questions to strive

We do not believe that this |{oF ® more rensonable and tals

limitation was placed on the pay-
ment for unused vacations given
to the Engineering employers
under Chapter 910 of the Laws of
1997. Actually, the Canal em-
piczene advise us that they are

pairing the equipment to be in

(9) We appealed for increased

District Offices have had to ss-
sume additional work programs of

ment actually has requested addi~

sideration of this problem and for

(10) We stress the desirability

low-
janees are accorded to Thruway
employees and it 1s accorded to
State Office employees who stay
on duty for minimum period
after thelr regular work shift,
‘The argument for the payment of,
meal allowances is made stronger
jby the fact that the Stute only
pays for overtime at straight pay
rates, whereas it is difficult to find
industry
| where overtime is not paid at time
and one half. We hope for Da-
partmental support for this pro-
posal and. of course, we intend
it up with the Budget

(1D) We requested the disseml-
nation of examination announce-
ments by District Offices to feld
jemployees, Our Association has

tried to assist in this matter by
having all examinations, and es-
| pecially promotion examinations,
| well advertised in the Civil Ser-
vice Leader which goes to all our
members, We hope that the De-
partment can send a memo or
directive to the District Engineer
which will filter down to the Resi-

amended, As cited herein, these
Canal employees who have worked
overtime regularly have already
been discriminated against by rea-
son of the fact that they were
not treated equally with the State
institution employees whose work
week was reducd to 40 hours with-
out loss in take-home pay during
the period 1956 through April 1,
1959, We itend to appeal to the
Budget in this matter,

(13) We support the request of
the State Highway Engineers As-
sociation for the establishment of
an intermediate grade between
Assistant and Senior Civil Engi-
neer, the incumbents of which
would not have to possess a Pro-
fessional Engineering license.

(14) We requested that the
$1.50 lunch expense allowance be
paid to Construction crews whose
work assignment Is in excess of
25 miles from thelr residence so
that these employees may be
treated equally with other State
employees who are entitled to the
Tuncheon allowance while per-
forming field service In excess of
three hours any day, which period
embraces lunch time.

Unfalr Arrangements

(15) At our meeting we called
your attention to a revised work
arrangement in effect in at least
& couple of the counties whereby
maintenance employees appar-
ently do not have regular work
hours but can be called to duty
any hour of the day or night
when their services may be re-
quired and work an 8-hour shift
which will be considered to be
their day's work. It appeared from
our conversation at the meeting
that this arrangement was not re-
quested by the nt but
may be a local situation. We feel
confident that the Departmtent
will look into this and stop this
revised arrangement which is ex-
tremely unfair,

Tam sure that you will agree
that Maintenance employees are
entitled to a regular established
work shift, and should be paid
for overtime for hours worked out-
side such shift. The rate of pay
accorded the employees involved
is very low. In private industry

generally, the establishment of
work shifts which cause hardship
or inconvenience are always ac
companied by a premium pay
rangement and certainly our Em-
pire State should not impose such
an unreasonable work arrangé=
ment on its low paid workers.

(16) As stated in the meeting,
we still receive complaints sbout
delay in receiving of expense ae-
count reimbursements. We know
that the Department has endeav-
ored to improve this situation, and
that some of the delays result
from understaffing at the District
and Departmental level. We hope

into further so that the time lag
in recolving expense account re~
| imbursements can be reduced as
| much as possible.

Since our meeting, Governor
Rockefeller in his Budget Message
has referred to savings, “as a re=
sult of careful planning of main~
tenance work, Judiciows use of
machines, and better organization
of crews on a shift basis,” and
“the limiting of our canal opera
tions to essential canal functions.
We ask the opportunity to dis-
cuss with you the exact plans of
the State administration and your
Department to carry out the
Governor's statement. We assume
that these plans are probably well
worked out by the State and we
are sure that they are very vital
the opportunity of meeting with
to employees’ Interests. We ask
you and discussing these matters
in detail so that our Association
may be fully informed and be in
® position to represent our mem~
bers on the problems which will
result from the plans apparently
now underway,

‘We appreciated your personal
participation in the entire meet-
ing with us on January 26th, We
frankly were very impressed by
your personal knowledge of the
details of all the problems dis-
cussed. This convinced us of your
interest in the welfare of your
Department's employees, and we
are confident of your cooperation
in doing everything possible to
achieve remedies to the various
problems we haye brought to your
attention.

Twenty-Five Years' Loyal Service

Fifty-five dollars and forty-six cents ts Ted Kelly's take home
pay for twenty-five years of satisfactory loyal service to the State
of New York,

Come April 1960, attendant Kelly, payroll No. 3223, will tiave
completed 25 years of loyal service to our mental patients and the
citizens of New York State. Because of incomplete legislation this
man finds that employees in the same title and salary grade as he,
with ten years less service, are grossing as much as 20 per cent higher
pay than he is. If nny one in the State can explain the justification of
this salary inequity to him, we would be pleased to meet him,

Grass Roots Study Needed

Tt myastifies our hospital employees that a State so rich In re-
sources and administrative talent should permit a situation as men-
| tloned above to first develop and then allow the injustice to exist
for years with only half-hearted attempts to rectify the situation.

In the last ten years, New York State has spent thousands upon
thousands of dollars to study the employees pay problems. The sal-
aries are still low and the inequities are many.

Governor Rockefeller will have a committee study the pay dis-
parities in the State institutions. The committee would be wise to
start with the pay inequities of the Ted Kellys in our hospitals
throughout the State,
