Higher Rates For New |".
Attendants Proves Need
For Pay Hike, Says CSEA

ALBANY, Jon, 21—The Civil
Service Employees Association has

that this action underscores the
Atsociation’s contention that a

learned that three state institu-
tions Iast week were authorized to
hire new attendants at more than
the minimum beginning rate to
improve recruitment.

While approving the higher
starting rate, the Association re-
acted sharply to the step, claim-
ing that the State itself prov-
ing the CSEA orgument for need
of a general increase in salary
for public employees

John FP. Powers, Association
President, immediately dispatched
a telegram to Governor Harriman
in which he outlined how the au-

statewide salary increase is neces-
sary this year,

“The use of this device definite-
ly indicates that personnel will
not come to the public service un-
less the salary rates are compar-

| able to those in private industry.

approach to

Governor said:
reported to the
Employees Assocla-
tion that the Budget Director has
approved the application of the
variable minimum to facilitate the
hiring of attendants in the Mental
Hygiene institutions at Wassaic,
Harlem Valley, and Newark, N.Y.
The application of this minimum
will bring the starting salaries
at these institutions to more than
$300 over the starting salaries for

While the Civil Service Employ-
ees Association believes that this

| this

To approach the salary problem
in this manner will unquestion-
ably tend to bring chaos into the
whole compensation plan and also
greatly disturb the principle of
equal pay for equal work embed-
ded in the Civil Service Law,
“Furthermore the great need
for an overall salary adjustment
has been continuously indiented
by the growing use which the Di-
and Com-
pensation has made of the vari-
ble minimum t+ hire the State's
personnel, The number of titles to
which the variable minimum has

been applied has more than
doubled In the last year,
“Also, your hiring rate study

has shown that the State's sal,
aries lag behind those in industry
by approximately 13%.

“We definitely fee) that this last
action of the Budget Director and
the Director of Classification and
Compensation emphasizes the
great need for an immediate cor-
rection of the State's salary struc-
ture. We emphasize again that
action highlights the unrea-
istic approach to the State salary
problem which has been the prob-
Jom for the past two yenrs,”

Action Against Two Aides

ALBANY, January 21 — Dis-
ciplinary actions Involving two
employees of the Department of
Mental Hygiene were reversed or
modified recently by the State
Civil Service Commission, The
Leader learned,

The Comission confirmed The
Lender's information that a dis-
missed employee had been ordered

ployee had been ordered rein-

The two workers are Clinton A

was demoted, and Anthony W.

Reversal Due To New Law

Reversal by the Commission of
the appointing officers’ actions

Important County
Bills In Hopper

ALBANY, dan. 21—Important
bills affecting political subdivision
employees have been introduced
into the State Legislature.

One major bill would permit ad-
ditional compensation for
time instead of a rate at the reg-
ular pay for extra work hours,

Another bill calls for political
| subdivisions to adopt definite sal-

to file such plans with the Civil
| Service Commission.

An amendment to the County
Law was submitted, which would
remove the maximum eight cents
per mile travel mileage allowance.

Introduced, too, was a bill which
would requite that all political
subdivisions provide vacation

Retroactivity

“The administration's bill does
not make it mandatory that the
municipalities adopt the Social

difference,” said Mr. Powers, “be
tween the administration bill and
the Association's Social Security
bill. The Association’s bill carries
}an appropriation of 44% million
dollars which will provide not
j only for the State's share of the
Social Security tux when the
agreement with the Federal Gov-
ernment becomes effective, but
will also permit retroactivity to

Sacrifice To Indifference

‘The public service should not always be made the sacrificial goat
of men’s blunders or indifference, We should have learned by this |
time that all difficulties In public adminiatration cannot be solved by
ashing payrolls and laying off personnel.

Our society is too complex and our democracy too precarious to
be subject to the callous take it or leave it attitude of a big corpora- |
tion. The business man has Just as much responsibility for the good |
administration of a community as the local commissioner or clerk
im the water department, |

The responsibility for any community's loose government must be
equally shored by all segments of the community—and the sacrifices
necessary in the correction of any community's errors must by the
same token be equally shared, The public employees alone should not
be asked to assume the whole burden,

Many Bayonnes Exist

‘The situation in Bayonne should serve as an object Jesson, Gov-
ernment services, like government costs tn all of our communities,
are rising, You cannot have more police protection or more schools
without adding to personnel and budgets. e ure Just as much
the facts of the times ay are expanding factories and growing popula. |
tion. The growth of the American economy does not tuke place only
in one sector, but tn all, The high standard of American living ts only
made possible by the contribution of all of {tv workers—governmental
as well as industrial,

There are many Bayonnes in the country—in New York State
well as others, There are other communities whith have or are
going to have tax troubles. The danger of the Bayonne solution ts
that it may easily become the pattern for others to follow,

Good government in our communities, large or small, does not
Just happen, It can only be achieved today through the joint efforts |
of all parts of the community—each playing its separate role and
contributing to the well being of the whole.

We wonder, if the Bayonne problem is solved by reducing educa-
tonal services, whether the businessmen and the city fathers will
ever ba embarassed by the fact that the schoo! children of that com-
munity were forced to accept the burden of their fathers’ fatlures.

Private and Public Industry

State Industrial Commissioner Isador Lubin announced early
this year that public bearings will be held in four cities of the State
this month on proposals to Increase minimum wages in the laundry
and dyeing industries. Will the State institutional launderers have
thelr reallocation hearings?

Town and State Reereatlon—An examination for Asssitant Reo-
reation Superintendent in Mount Vernon ts scheduled for the
month of January. Qualifications are high school graduation plus
5 yearn’ recreation experience, Salary $4,700 (o $6,500, A person
qualifying for this positon cannot qualfy for and would not be
permitted to take the Recreation Instructor examination in our de-
partment: starting salary $3,840, The town of Mt, Vernon will pay
approximately $900 per year more for a les trained petson than
our department's Recreation Instructor, In our department alone
we have 40 vacancies in this title,

Food Service Personnel—The Pilerim State Hospital Chapter,
CS.E.A. is organizing a drive to bring to the attention of the
State the inequities that exist in the Salary scale for Food Service

Personnel, They are seekng s\ipport of the following:

Titles Present Grade Grade <b panel
Kitchen Helper R2
Assistant Cook R4 By 4
Cook RS Rll
Head Cook Ril RW
Food Service Manager R15 RAT

Salary complaints are heard from sil titles from the highest
to the lowest positions in our hospitals and schools,

On the surface employee compensation appears to be only #
matter of appropriation of funds for a general raise. But It must
go further than just an appropriation of money. Tt requires a very
intensive study of title classification, proper allocation, cost of
living, and an unbiased comparison of public vs, private salaries

What About This Year

In the Governor's annual message to the Jegislature, he re-
stated that the State should be a model employer. He spoke of
the reduction in hdurs and the $300 pay incr we gol last year
‘We know well what we got last year, What are we to get this year?

He also stated that, tt is hix hope that we can move on before
long to establish a forty-hour week for all State employees, but the
diMeulty of recruitment of qualified personnel will delay the real-
dzation of this hope. Can there be recruitment of these employees
without adequate salaries,

It is important that each employee in Mental Hygiene and the
Pate of New York take time out right away to let your local stete
Jegisiators and the Governor know how you feel about this. You
must all do your share In adding atpport to requests made by our
CSEA and MHEA organizations.

HEN it comes to salary adjustments, the public |
W employee seems to be in the same relative posi |
tion as the moneylender of medieval
when needed, scorned when not.

Though the public employee is not a lender,
have a vote, and it is extraorditfiry to see the
tion concern over his financial plight.

It seems that the only time public employees de-
serve a vote is when the politicians need their vote

One would assume that the cost of living rises only
In election years, In other years the employees obviously
should spend their spare time reflecting on the govern-
ment’s previous largesse,

This theorem is not aa facetious as it might appear.
One has only to hear or read the legislative rhetoric
when the State budget is up for consideration in an elec
tion year to note the timely rm
ployees’ financial plight.

This double standard is a gross injustice to all em-
ployees of government.

We ask the State Legisature and Goyernor Averell
Harriman’s administration to give an honest look at sal-
ary conditions in the State, and a general salary adjust-
ment in the light of real need—not public relations.

CIVIL SERVICE LEADER

ASS Oy j 22,

THEY SAY

FREDERICK J. LAWTON, U.S. Civil Service Commissioner:
“Businessmen comment upon leaving Government on the high quality
of the Federal work force. They also carry back to business the Goy-
ernment concept of handling sich problems as classification of
employees for pay purposes, use of Incentive awards and superior
performance awards, fringe benefits, and lines of organizations and
methods having to do with communications and organizational prob-
Jems in a large operation, Government, for its part, benefits from
the forward-looking programs and principles of private Industry.”

Temper the Severity

IIREE Jaws that overshot the mark should be amend-

ed by the present Congress in the interest of fair-
ness and justice,

The U. 8, Civil Service Commission has long com-
plained about the harshness of the Hatch Act. Technical
and almost unwitting violations drew severe penalties, |
including dismissals, While the general idea of prohibit-
ing employees of the Federal goveynment, or of State
governments where the Federal government is a reim-|
burser, from engaging in polities may have considerable |
support, the mandatory strictures and penalties are too
broad and sweeping, Granting of administrative discre-
tion in dealing with mere technical violations is necessary.

Conflict of Interest Law

The Conflict of Interest Law is another example.
This has been held, in an administrative opinion, to for-

ESCALATOR PRINCIPLE

"AVORED FOR SALARIES
Editor, The Leader:

In his message to the begista-
ture, Governor Averel) Harriman
recommended that unemployment
insurance and workmen's com-
Pensation benefits be raised. The
Republican-controlled Legislature
indicated that they favored pro-
viding an inflationary hedge along
the line of the escalator clauses
in many major union contracts,
geared to changes in the cost of
living,

State employees have long com-
plained that the present cumber-
some process of adjusting waxes
has left them far behind in the
race with the rising changes In
Hving costs and has resulted in a
sharp reduction in thelr buying
power and standards of living.

All public officials and other
right-thinking citizens realize
that to have eMciency, State serv-
ice must attract and hold better
than average employees. In a re-
cent publication of its hiritig rate
study, the State presents evidence
Usat there is an overall lag of 13
per cent in State salaries.

In all fairness, the Governor
and the Legislature should press
for an immediate upward adjust-
ment of State salaries and support
of the escalator approach as #
moans of preventing salaries from
lagging further behind the
changes in living costs,

RULE OF THREE

| CALLED BIASED HERITAGE

Editor, The Leader:
With respect to the right to re-

reason for his action, so Jong as
he affords no indication as to why

of alleged “discretion” Is not sub-

bid any, Federal employee from even helping a dismissed
co-worker's effort to obtain reinstatement. Though em-
ployees must do nothing that conflicts with their duty
and loyalty to their employer, the fuzzy provisions of |

the law, under which such an opinion becomes possible |
must be clarified in line with American principles of foal

ject to review by some higher
agency.
Compounding this implicitly

ing waste of time and energy by
both the candidate and the Civil

Civil Service Retirement System accused under the loyal-

convicted of periury in connection with release of con-

reaping a reward for perfidy, But mandatory provisions
under this law, whereb? penalties of unwarranted sever-
ity must be inflected for even technical violations, cause
such economic upheaval as practically to ruin the lives
of some employees of Jong standing who didn't attempt
to sell out their government, or do anything even ap
proaching that.

Not a Case of Softness

It took courage to ask that officials be granted dis-
eretionary authority to impose lesser penalties for lesser
infractions than the main ones that the law was origin-
ally enacted to prevent, This Is hot a case of getting a
pension for Hiss, or anyone like him, but of preventing
forfeiture when it does not serve the ends of justice but
fa an excessive penalty, It's not a case of exculpation
for even minor violations but of making the punishment

Our courts need to limit their

interpretation of the Inw to the

Constitution and legislation, To

|may have to look to the Legisia-
ture for relief frou the impasse
of ignoring the ability of the Civil

If the Commission's impersonal

Insofar as a civil service ap-

QUESTIONS FOR SCHECHTER

ON PROMOTION COURT CASE
Editor, The Leader:

issue, about “examinationless
Promotions,” you mentioned that
Corporation Counsel Peter Camp-
bell Brown and Personnel Direc-
tor Joseph Schechter “are agreed
| that the Inw ts on their side” and
that Mr. Schechter "was formerly
counsel to the State Civil Service
Commission."

Why were they so secretive
about this law being “on their
side” when Mandle’s case was

Gold?

Does Mr. Schechter dislike pro-
motion examinations because he
never passed one?

At the end of the news item ts
quoted the pertinent part of
Article V, Section 6, of the State
Constitution, When Mr, Schechter
took his oath of office as Person-
nel Director, did he not swear to
uphold this very Constitution, in-
cluding the said section? If Justice
Samuel M. Gold's decision holding
that the promotion made without
examination are illegal, is Mr,
Schechter still going to persist in
)“examinationless promotions," or

will he declare the higher titled
positions unnecessary, thereby de-
jatroying the Classification and
Career Pian itself?

We who have under the admin-
istration of this Personnel De-
partment found It necessary to
form an sssociation, to protect
ourselves, have also been won-
dering about this for some time.

LEGAL SUPPORT FOUND
FOR RECLASSHFICATION
Editor, The Leader:

‘The attitude of the committee
supporting the court case against
New York City promotions
| thought reclassification is un-
| worthy of professional employees.

I defy any of the malcontents
to point out even a single instance
of favoritism under the recinssi-
fication, Much ado ts made that
several employees who were on &
ist were not reclassified to o
higher position, while several who
failed, were, Examinations haye
never been the complete answer
to the selection of proper person~
nel, ‘There are many jntangibles
in the make-up of @ person which
jeannot be tested by examination.
The demonstration of fitness, in
responsible positions, over a peri-
od of many years by those em~-
ployees who were reclassified af-
ter a job survey, ts the best as-
surance to the public that it Is
getting value for the taxes it pays.

‘This ts confirmed by Matter of
Rickotts, 111 App. Div, 689, which
stated that the use of the term,
“so far ax practicable,” Const
tution, Art, V, Sect, ® now Art,
5, Goct, 6, established the fact

that the constrtutional conven-
tion, and the people who approved
its work, were aware that com-
petitive examinations were not
always practicable to produce the
best results in the public service,

What Does Practicable’ Mean?

‘The definition of practicable in
| your editorial, issue of January
| 8, falls into the same error which
|led to Justice Samuel M. Gold's
j decision. The Court of Appeals,
jin the case of People vs, Lyman,
| 187 N.Y. 368, affirming 30 App.
| Div, 135, heid: “The provision of
the Constittution ts that the merit
|and fitness of the applicant or
j appointee shall be ascertained in
the manner stated 50 far as prac-
ticable, that is, In part at least,

In your news report, January 8 | control, The provision is not that

the examination shall be the basis
of determining merit and fitness
when or where, or In such cases
as it is practicable, but that in
all cases they are to be ascertain-
ed by an examination, only so
far as practicable, In other words,
it does not declare that the exam-
| ination shail control in ascertain-
ing morit and fitness in any oF
| ant eases where it is practicable,
| but that the qualifications of the

argued before Justice Samuel M. | candidate shall be ascertained in

each case by an examination to
the extent and only so far as it
is practicable, an consequently
sufficient to insure the selection
of proper and competent employ-
|ees. ‘The constitution plainly im-
plies that other methods and teste
are to be employed when neces-
sary and calculated to fully as-
certain the merit and fitness of
the applicant.”

Quotes Constitution
Furthermore, Art. V—Seo. 6 of
the Constitution provides that
“appointments and promotions
. +. shall be made according to
merit and fitness to be ascertain-
ed as far as practicable by ex-
amination.” However, neither ap-
pointment nor promotion is in.
volved tn this reclassification, nor
is it a promotion in the guise of
a reclassification. There is nothing
unconstitutional in ascertaining
merit and fitness by actual on-the-
job survey, and reclassifying the
incumbent's title to a more ap-
Propriate one. This power Is ine
herent in every reclassification,
and is one of its principal objec~
tives. Similar reclassification has
taken place on numerous occa-
sions in the past and upheld by
the Courts.

It has been charged that re-
classification will cut down pro=
motion opportunity for others, On
the contrary, such reclassification
will create more promotional op-
portunities for the rank and file,
[Tt ts obvious that as the persons
under consideration (mostly aged
50 to 65 years) retire, vacancies
will be created in the higher
titles which will be filled by ap.
pointment from the younger em-
ployees In such tithes, or by pro-
motion examination from the
Jower titles as required, all in the
best Interest of civil service, As
a matter of record, despite the
reclassification of a number of
employees to senior civil engineer,
engineer, ete. promotion exame
inations were held for such ttles,

T am sure that every righte
thinking employee, and employee
organization that is not inter
ested in setting up « straw man
to be demolishod for the benefit
of the muss of employees who do
not have the necessary qualifica-
tons for reclassification to highes

SPECIAL SES

SIONS

COURT OFFICERS SUE
TO FORCE UPGRADING

A mult challenging New York
City's refusal to uperade salaries
was instituted in the New York
County Supreme Court by uni-
formed Special Sessions Court of-
Meors

denied 3 to 2 upgrading of court
peal for an upgrading of court
oficers from grade 7 to 10, and of
captains from 7 to 11, Anthony
J. Russo and Jeremiah P. Sul-
ivan, employee members of the
Bo dissented,

The plantiffs claim that their

dutits greatly exceed those of

court officers appointed to the

Municipal, Magistrates’ and Do-
Relations courts, although
were appointed from the

same list.

The court officers say they

must provide their own equip-

ment and assert that their dut-
fes ave similar to those of officers
in the Court of General Session
and County Courts.

The petitioners are represent-
ed by Attorney Samuel Resnicoff,

from a variety of sources with heavy reliance especially at budget
time on the newspapers, The count for some of the counties Is still
not In yet, but of those where we do have information the ratio is
5 to 1 for giving some kind of significant salary adjustment for 1957
far exceeds those not making adjustment

On the whole this seems to have been a year for raises in the
countiés, The raises have been in various forms, as might be expected,
Buch counties as Chemung reported at $200, Cortland at $230, Oswego

and Tompkins went for the

“across-the-board” arrangement, while

“spot raises” were given in such counties as Chenango, Oneida, Mon-

roe and Erie. The significance of

the spot raises should not be sold

appropriated over a milllon dollars for this purpose.
