In the meantime, CSEA officials

Benefitting from the program

Kelly, director of the State Divi-
sion of Classification and Com-
pensation.
CSEA has been constantly
prodding the State to begin auth-
| ertaing Payments and has also
| been critical of the rules under
which payments may be made.
One of CSEA’s main criticisms
center on the fact that the work-
er, himself, must provide pay and
recruitment data in the private
sector showing that there fs an
inequity between State and priv-
ate wages in the given area.

Kelly's Explanation
In answer to where an employee
can obtain this data, Kelly states
that in the State's classification
structure there are about 3,600
titles, and, that for most of them,
there are no established sources
of statistical data relating to
wages in public and private em-
ployment on a Statewide basis, let
alone by geographical areas within
‘the State for some titles
Kelly further stated that, under

noted, however, that, because of
the Board’s newness, its lbrary
of such data is not very extensive.
All this adds up to the fact that
the State worker has lost before
he has’ begun to fight, CSEA de
clared. It points out the need for
a change in the rules, otherwise
the CSEA-sponsored law will
prove unworkable and any auth-
orized payments will be subject to
the whims of the State, a CSEA
spokesman said.
Nurses Affected
Kelly, in a letter to Dr. Theo~
dore C. Wenzl, CSEA president,
said that the differential was
authorized “for certain of the
State nurse positions in the City
of New York.” This did not meet
our request for the differential to
also affect positions in Nassau,
Suffolk, Rockland and Westches-
ter counties, said Dr. Wenzl. “We
will continue to push for the im-
plementation of a differential in
those areas, Dr. Wenzl stated.
“There is no question that State
nurses in those other areas are
receiving lower salaries than their
counterparts in private employ
ment,” he added.
Dr. Wenzl, in telegrams to T,

ector, and Kelly, said that nursing

A Touchy Issue
HE traditional spirit of fellowship between members of
the uniformed forces of the Police and Fire Departments
was broken this week, following a fact-finders decision which
recommended the narrowing of the salary differential be-
tween police sergeants and fire Neutenants on the one hand
and police lieutenants and fire captains on the other.
The report pointed out that the application of the
former ratios as between the uniformed forces and the of-
ficers in either the Police or Fire Department has placed
the Fire officers in higher salary brackets than their Police
counterparts, a position which is out of line with the ac-
cepted practice in comparable cities.
The firefighters, however, maintained that the fact-
finders dismissed the fact that the rate of line-of-duty
deaths of Fire leutenants and captains is 40 times greater
than that of Police sergeants and lieutenants and the sever-
{ty rate of line-of-duty injuries of these positions is 25 times
higher. Further, the UFOA points out that they consider
the report and its recommendations, “an affront to the mem-
ory of fire officers killed and crippled in the service of the
people of the City of New York and an inequity to the pres-
ent corps of Fire lieutenants and captains whom the panel
tends to equate with the lower supervisory levels of sergeant
‘and lieutenant in the Police Department.”
Immediately after the fact-finding panel released its
report urging the closing of the differential, some 1,000
angry firefighters jammed a hastily called special meeting
of the Uniformed Fire Officers Assn. and voted their execu-
tive board full approval to take any action deemed necessary
to restore the salary ratio which has existed to date.
Included—in fact specified—in the membership mandate
to the Association, an affiliate of the International Associa-
tion of Fire Fighters (AFL-CIO), was the approval of a
“moratorium on all duties except active firefighting.”
We hope that a solution which is fair to both sides in
this situation can be found shortly and before the UFOA
4s forced to abide by the membership’s mandate.
Give Recognition Now
ESPITE representation hearings by the Public Employ-
D ment Relations Board, the issue is in no doubt—State
eniployees are represented de facto by the Civil Service Em-
ployees Assn. and the evidence that this is so is beyond chal-
lenge.
With some 100,000 State workers enrolled in CSEA of
their own free will, we see no reason why the PERB is stil!
conducting endless hearings on who should represent whom
in State service,
There is a budget deadline of March 31 and the Em-
Ployees Association intends to get significant gains for its
Membership —and all State workers—before that date. A
final determination by the PERB is urgently needed now
to give the CSEA a tool which is rightfully theirs—recogni-
tion as the sole bargaining agent for State employees,
LETTERS TO
THE EDITOR
Hold Out For More
Than Eight Percent
Editor, The Leader:
I wish to add my voice for a/
determined effort on the part of
State aides to obtain a substantial |
wage increase, pension increase |
and health benefit increase.
Workers who have been on
strike such as the transit workers
and teachers; automobile workers
too; have been rewarded with an
average of 15 percent increases
over a 2-year period—including
fringe benefits.
State workers ask no more than
an equitable settlement.
How is {t that $60 million fs re-
quested by the Governor for 80,-
000 workers when $70 million was
granted to 36,000 transit workers?
The “disgusted State aide” from
West Brentwood (letters to the
editor, Jan. 23) makes some ex-
cellent points. Whoever wrote it
suggests that the eight percent
Should be rejected and I agree.
We should withhold services for
better pay, better treatment and,
legally, for the want of proper
representation in matters of salary
; and grievances.
T urge you (as I have already
, written to the Governor and to Dr.
|Wenzl) to continue a tough-line
|attitude. Never should we lay
| down and meekly accept the eight
percent crumbs. We have already
fallen behind more militant
groups {n public and private em-
ployment. I agree with “thumbs
down!” Fight for much more!

Unfair Retirement Law
Editor, The Leader:
It fs not clear what Ed Carolan
had in mind in last week's issue
of The Leader when he expressed
appreciation of Comptroller Le-
vitt’s approach to the retirement
problem or what he meant by the
“bellyaching” of civil service em-
ployees, The Comptroller did not
spell out specifically what recom-
mendations he intended to make,
so there is really no way of know-
ing exactly where he stands. All
that employees received up to 1960
by way of pension from the State
was one-quarter pension for thirty
years service. Any additional
amount was the result of their
own contributions. To put it clear-
ly, an employee in the $6.000 brac-
ket, with thirty years service up
to 1960, would receive only a $1,-
500 pension from the State. The
|pertinent question is what does
the Comptroller propose to do
about that—in the light of the
present non-contributory Retire-
ment Law which provides half-
pay after thirty years service since
1960? (Second-class civil serv-
ants?)
It is no wonder that employees
| “bellyache” and that morale ts
jlow. In fact the wonder is why
|there is not more “bellyaching”
|and a deluge of letters to the re-
[eeonela officials in the Admin-
| istration to correct this obvious
Injustice. They will come, no
doubt, But why can’t the Adminis-
tration be wise and gracious and
get credit by doing the inevitable
now — by proyiding a non-con-
i tributory half-pay pension for all?
| Behies and good employer-em-
ployee relationship demand it.

Civil Service
Law & You
By WILLIAM GOFFEN
(Mr. Goffem, a member of the New York Bar, teaches law at jhe
many books ang
articles and co-authored “New York Criminal Law.”)
Settlements & Discontinuance
IT IS ALWAYS gratifying when civil service litigation
is terminated by settlement and discontinuance. Success.
ful negotiation entails concessions by the employee on the
one hand and the agency on the other. While neither side
gets everything desired, court decisions seldom grant fl)
satisfaction either.
THE YOUTH PAROLE Workers Association recently
initiated Article 78 proceedings against the State Depart-
ment of Civil Service (Alex Nimetz vy. Department of Civil
Service and Department of Social Welfare). In January 1967
the Department had supplanted the youth parole worker,
grade 15 classification with youth parole worker “A” grade
14 and youth parole worker “B” grade 16 classifications,
This was accomplished through purported division of fur
tions formerly performed by the grade 15 employees be-
tween the two new classifications.
THE NEW classifications were the result of the Civil
Service Department's salary and classification study of wel-
fare positions undertaken by J. Earl Kelly, Director of the
Division of Classification and Compensation. One of the
commendable objectives of the study was the attraction of
persons to the State service with the degree of master of
social work. Grade 15 incumbents were automatically ad-
vanced without examination to youth parole worker “B,”
grade 16, provided they possessed the M.S.W. Unless they
had the M.S.W. they remained in grade 15 which was to be
phased out by attrition. The new employee with an M.S.W.
received grade 16, while those new appointees without the
degree were assigned to grade 14.
THE NIMETZ petition espoused the cause of the in-
cumbent Grade 15 employees who had no master’s degree.
They contended that in reality there was no difference in
the social work duties performed by grades 15 and 16 or
even 14. Consequently, payment of grade 14, 15 and 16 em-
ployees at different rates of compensation violated the legis-
latively announced public policy of equal’ pay for equal
work. In this contention, the petitioners gained their strong-
est support from the fact that the division of functions eN-
visioned by -Mr. Kelly had never been specified.
JUDICIAL RELIEF was sought granting grade 15 employ-
ees, whether permanent, provistonal or temporary, the
youth parole worker “B” grade 16 status. Mr. Kelly answel-
ed that as incumbents without the M.S.W. continued at the
grade 15 level until they obtained the M.S.W., their rights
had not been violated.
EXHIBITING A fine spirit of cooperation, the Attor ney
General and the Department of Civil Service sought a settles
ment with the attorney for the petitioners. As the first step,
it was agreed that permanent grade 15 employees with two
years of service would be advanced to grade 16 although they
did not possess the master’s degree. In this way, recognition
was given for satisfactory performance on the job.
THE CLAIM OF the temporary and provisional emplo!-
ees took a little more time to resolve. After further nezoll-
ation, they too were extended the same treatment @% the
permanent employees. This determination effectuated the
policy of the State to provide equal pay for equal work. The
Civil Service Law, Section 121, subd, 2(b), provides that upon
allocation of a position to a new salary grade, tize ineumben
“whether employed on a permanent or temporary basis” SDR
be paid the same salary. Se¢tion 132, subd. 3 of the Civil as
vice Law, dealing with allocation of salary grades, is Satie
ly made applicable “to temporary and provisional empioye**
as well as permanent employees.”
GUIDED BY the legislative intention, an the
of Civil Service agreed that two years of experience eae
grade-45 position, whether the employment was on 4 ent
porary, provisional or permanent basis, would entitle ee de
ployee to transfer to grade 16 even without a maste!
gree. Though the agreement did not extend to tho
ing the M.S.W, fully equal treatment with the posse
the degree who were not required to have prior ex}
the gain to the petitioners was substantial.
WHILE THE agreement required the con
tions to retreat from their original positions, the 5

rend GROUP PRACTICE-
‘Tun “rime HAs come” for prepaid group practice,
Never before have group practice plans received such nation-
wide recognition, "A sudden explosion of public attention” is
the way one health leader describes it!
Prepaid group practice is emerging as the most rational, most
convincing answer to the problems besetting the medical con-
sumer, the medical community, and the unions and employers
seeking full value for their medical dollar,
Soaring hospital charges..,medical cate costs inflated by
insurance fee-schedules and major medical programs...the
growing shortage of physicians... the steady increase in medical
specialization. ..widespread concern for the quality of medical
service being rendered as the demand for private care is intensi-
fied by Medicare and Medicaid —all of these are chickens that
have come home to roost for the long-time defenders of the
status quo in medical care.
Today prepaid group practice is being hailed across the na-
tion, Leaders in government, medicine, industry and labor are
urging that group practice plans like H.LP. be given every pos-
sible encouragement, They seek to have similar plans established
elsewhere in the country,
( The President...Group practice benefits both physicians and patients. It
makes expert health care more accessible to the patient. t
| Health Message fo Congress—President Lyndon B. Johnson
| The H.E.W, Secretary..."Group practice, especially PREPAID GROUP
PRACTICE, should be encouraged. Groups of doctors practicing together
| can make more efficient use of equipment, auxiliary personnel and consul-
tation than doctors practicing alone.”
—John W. Gardner, Secretary of Health, Education and Welfare
In | The Surgeon General... The American people want to know when and how
government they shall receive better health care at prices they can afford. We who believe
they in group practice have an answer, It is not the whole answer, nor the only
are jy 20swers but it represents a valid and important approach.”
. i =William H, Stewart, M.D., Surgeon General of U.S. Public Health Service
saying:
. The Consumer Advisory Council... The increasing enrollment of consumers
in PREPAID GROUP PRACTICE PLANS, and the establishment of new
plans in areas where they do not exist, would represent a significant forward
step in enhancing the quality, efficiency and availability of medical care and
| in limiting its cost. Report by President's Consumer Advisory Council
The Congress... Backing up its verbal encouragement of group practice, the
Federal Government has successfully sponsored legislation that “will enable
physicians to obtain mortgage financing to develop and equip group health
facilities in towns and cities across the nation,”
(The AMA Citizens Commission..."Group practice will give the patient the

|Aid From Business
Pancht In Teachine,
In its continuing search for edu-
cational excellence for the pupils
of the inner city, the New York
City school system is seeking the
afd of large corporations through-
out the country which have been
pioneering in the development of |
instructional materials.
Superintendent of Schools Dr.!
Bernard E. Donovan has invited |
representatives of 12 firms to meet |
with him Jan, 25 “to explore the
| potential areas of corporate serv-
fees to the City’s public schools.|
| DreDonovan said that the City’s |
public schools are eager to par-| 71
ticipate in the new educational!
services that have been developed | !
by various firms |
“New approaches, new materials }
and new equipment are needed to
meet our changing needs,” Dr.
Donovan said, :
“We have particular interest ini
new curriculum materials, teach- |
ing techniques, teaching machines, |
teacher training, testing
ments and other instructional ad-
vances, Our organization {s so
flexible that we could work with
one or more corporations on a
school, district or City-wide basis.”
The firms invited “to assist us
to serve the needs of over one mil-
lion children in the world’s largest
city schoo) system” are CBS Edu-

subsequently died was held not to
have made a valid choice in an
opinion handed down last week
by Supreme Court Justice John
M. Murtagh.
In June, 1958 Grace W. Ortelere
accepted Option One which pro-
vided that her pension would be
paid each month to herself or her
beneficiary. She died Apr‘l 8. 1965
while under the care of a | sy-
chiatrist. On February 11, 1965, a
few months before she died, she
changed her option so that she
would receive a larger amount
only during her lifetime.
The court held that she was
under a severe mental incapacity
at the time of the change and that
the husband beneficiary was to
receive the balance of her pension
payments.

® The contract between the New
York City Transit Authority and
the transit union expired Decem-

round of Transit negotiations. The
breakdown in the previous nego-

was a major factor in bringing
about the appointment of the
Taylor Committee in 1966.
