Board Approves Methods
For Dues Payment During
The Checkoff Suspension

ALBANY—The Civil Service Employees Assn. Board of
Directors met last week to firmly establish plans for col-
lection of dues of the union's State division once the check-
off suspension handetl down by the State Public Employ-

ment Relations Board becomes
effective.

Joseph D. Lochner, executive
director of CSEA, outlined ad-
ministrative plans for action to
the Board, noting that “with the
@doperation of each and every.
Member of the organization, this
PERS penalty can be completely
bypassed, proving to the state
administration once and for all
that CSEA’s membership is sol-
idly behind us." id

Lochner said, “The State has
made its plans r. It is now
time to make our plans clear
and get rolling on this final ob-
stacle.”

State fiscal authorities called
for the deduction loss to be ef-
fective in the Institutional Unit
on Feb, 28, It will be automat-
feally reinstated on Jan. 2, 1974.
A small number of employees in
that unit who are on the admin-
istrative payroll will lose the de-
duction on Feb, 21 and have it
restored on" Dee.+12, 1973:

In the other three units of the
union's State Division — Opera-
tional, Administrative and Pro-
fessional-Selentific-Technical —
Lochner reported to the Board
that the effective dates will be
April 18 and full deduction will
resume on July 25, PERB man-
dated a three-month loss in
;those units.

% Board members reported satis-

faction with Lochner'’s plans for
billing three times In the Insti-
tutional Unit and once for those
penalized for the three-month
term in the other units,

Commenting on the overall
billing procedure, one Board
member said “the letter of ex-
planation with each bill is a good
Yea. My membership wants to
cooperate in every possible way.
I also feel that the pre-ad-
dressed envelope will make
things simple.”

Record of payment is included
in the billing. Each member gets
a receipt for his records, His
payment goes directly to the Na-
tional Commercial Bank and
Trust Co., insuring a record of
deposits.

Special Delegates Meeting
Called By Wenzl To Review
Restructure Changes, Dues

ALBANY — The Civil Service Employees

ssn.'s president, Theodore C. Wenzl, in
on with the organization's Board of
Directors, has called for a special delegates
meeting to be convened on Feb. 22 at 1
p.m, It is to be conducted in Chancellors
Hall at the State Education Bullding in
Albany.

The purpose of the meeting, according
to Wenzl, “Is to consider proposed amend-
ments to the CSEA constitution and by-
laws and measure the success of the union's
efforts In collecting the dues by direct
payment,"

CSEA’s restructuring committee has
suggested numerous changes to the num-
ber and designated responsibilities of elect-
ed officials representing the union’s mem-
bership body. As a result of these suggested
changes, the union must make constitu-
tional alterations and by-law revisions to
accommodate an orderly election for state

actual details of the sessions un-
til the negotiations end, spokes-
men for CSEA could report only
that they had completed initial

year’s

officers, regional officials and members of
the union's state executive committee.

Delegates will also be asked, according
to a CSEA spokesman, “to evaluate and
comment on the process of dues collection
in thelr local area.”

The spokesman said, “CSEA anticipates
minor revisions in the dues collection pro-
gram will be made at that point, tailoring
our administrative actions to the feed-back
from the delegate group.”

CSEA lost its right to automatic payroll
deduction of union dues for State em~-
ployees as a result of a Public Employment
Relations Board decision handed down last
month,

The decision called for loss of deduction
rights for 10 months in the Institutional
Unit and three months in the remaining
three State units CSEA represents.

PERB justification cited the union's al-
leged strike activities last Easter weekend,

“look like

presentation of their demands,
responded to specific questions
from the State, and were now
“well into the give-and-take"
bargaining phase.

Beyond that, one CSEA nego-

are nevertheless optimistic.

to win agreement on a package

1973? What led to his death?
How did he die and above all,
why?

Frank E. Smith was one of the

most sincere, meticulous, men
who ever lived. Those who knew
him well said that they never
remember hearing him raise his
voice in anger.

He was strictly a deep thinker,
the philosopher type. A simple
question such as: “Are you going
out to watch that demonstration
at the Island?” would bring an
answer only after twenty or
thirty puffs on his ever-present
pipe. His pipe was his trade
mark but there were other things
about Lieutenant Smith which
set him apart from the crowd.
On the other hand, there were
things which also marked him
as “one of the boys.”

As firefighters go, he was sort
of typical. He was married, had
a beautiful wife, Regina, daugh-
ters aged 24 and 21, and two sons
age 20 and 7. Little Kevin, 7, was
naturally the apple of his eye
and 1973 was going to be a spe-
cial year for Prank Smith. On
Jan. 1 he made 20 years and
with a few extra puffs on the
pipe, smiled a little as he con-
fided that he felt pretty good to
have gotten his 20 in... sort
of as though the rest would be
much easier,

FRANK SMITH
His history in the Fire Depart-
ment, if looked into deeply,

would indicate that fate, cruel as
she can sometimes be, had been
working against him almost from
the beginning.

As @ very quiet unruffled man,
he was subjecting himself to the
gut-like pressure deep inside
himself because deep thinking
quiet people have no steam valve
+.» MO pressure release and it
either gets out by “blowing
steam" or one keeps it pent up
with sometimes disastrous re-
sults,

He was appointed a fireman

(Continued on Page 11)

By MICHAEL J. MAYE

President, Uniformed Firefighters Assn.
(The views expressed in this column are those of the writer and
do not necessarily constitute the views of this newspaper.)

Firemen Bargain For No One Else

‘The question is:

Does the Uniformed Firefighters Association want im-
proVed pensions for its members?

Answer: Absolutely, Yes.

Question: Is the UFA planning to fight against pension
improvements being sought by other unions in order to
improve UFA chances of getting better pensions for fire-
fighters?

Answer: Positively, No.

The above may sound silly to a working man or out-
siders looking in but {t is sometihng that the UFA finds
necessary to repeat from time to time.

The New York City firefighters deserve a better
pension. They are recognized as the world's best profes-
sional firefighters—and the best deserve the bést and as
long as this leadership can perform and lead, we will fight
at every turn to get for our members what is justly theirs.

However, no man can ever accuse firefighters of being
selfish, greedy or stepping on a fellow working man in order
to achieve some benefit for himself. We are all part of the
house of labor and will resist any effort to pit one against
another.

I have always said—and stand forthrightly now on the
principle—that every union member is entitled to the best
contract his leadership can achieve in the way of wage:
hours, working conditions, health and welfare benefits
and pensions.

THE FIREFIGHTER has long resisted efforts to have
himself lumped in with every other civil servant. When we
open contract negotiations with the City, the hue and cry
is raised immediately that we are out front again, that
our negotiations will set the pattern for 300,000 other civil
servants.

We cannot help what outsiders say about us—nor can
we do anything about any “pattern” the city may or may
not follow as a result of our negotiations,

Thave made it clear on an almost continuous basis that
the UFA negotiates for the firefighter and for no one else!
Period! I say congratulations and well done to benefits
achieved by other unions for their membership—but I do
not want anyone but a firefighter to negotiate for fire-
fighters and J will not accept the characterization that the
UFA its negotiating for all civil servants when we are talking
only for firefighters.

. . .

THERE ARE TIMES when the firefighter and the City
policeman are on parallel lines because of common and
comparable risks and dangers the men of these two emer-
gency services are exposed to.

But I want to make it clear that J speak only for fire-
Jighters—and that is loud and clear,

Adding to the toll of daily dangers to which the fire-
fighter—-a member of the City’s first line of defense, the
only TOTAL instant emergency service —is exposed and
which has a cumulative negative impact on him over the
years, is the recent wave of think tank “productivity”
schemes. The result is that an already overworked and
‘undermanned firefighting force has had even more of a-
burden put upon its shoulders,

Middletown School
Dist. Beats SEIU

MIDDLETOWN—The Civil
Service Employees Assn. has
again beaten off a represen-
tation challenge by the Ser-
vice Employees International
Union, APL-CIO, this time by
better than.6 to 1, in a vote by
non-teaching employees of the
City of Middletown Enlarged
School District, for the right to
represent this group of mainly
custodial and maintenance work-
ers.

Reminiscent of the recent
challenge to CSEA's representa-
tion of some 78,000 State em-
ployees, the union this time was
challenged by the SEIU local
from Long Island City, calling
themselves the School and Lib-
rary Employees Local Union No.
7“.

CSEA retained the right to
represent this group of about 65
employees by a yote of 43 to 7,

A spokesman for CSEA said
that “SEIU once again used its
tired repertoire of cliches and
empty promises and these em-
ployees, just as the majority of
state employees did, recognized
their propaganda for what it
was. In the face of CSEA's
proven record of experience and
success in representing public
employees in New York State,
the choice was obvious,”

rector, explained the distri-
bution of his department's funds
at a recent meeting of the CS-
EA's Buffalo chapter.

Dr, Diamond also noted that
the $1.75 million allotted to state
employee benefits had not
changed in three years, He sald
education programs desperately
needed increased funds to bet-
ter aid employee educational op-
portunities,

Dr. Diamorid explained that $1
million of the funds goes to the
Institutional Unit, $300,000 to
the Operating Unit, $250,000 to
the Administrative Unit and
$200,000 to the Professional,
Scientific and Technical Unit.

Each unit further gets di-
vided into six areas, he said,
including tuition support with
a maximum of $300, employee
benefit educational courses, high
school equivalency —_ courses,
agency experimental programs,
educational curriculum develop~
ment and special career ladder
program,

He also spoke on the proposed
shop stewards plan for CSEA
and suggested that stewards have
personality, common ‘sense, a
sense of humor and a feel for
Justice.

The steward, he added, also
must know the current state
contracts in order to deal with
various degrees of grievances.

Frederick Huber, president of
the Buffalo chapter, offered his
help in establishing study and
assistance programs for upcom~-
ing Civil Service promotion tests.

An Alarming Proposal

NE of the most reactionary proposals ever made af-

fecting public employees will be presented to the Legis-
lature this week when the State Pension Commission will
recommend that the subject of pensions be removed from
the bargaining table.

‘The threat of this proposal, if approved, is that the
basic right to bargain on anything at all can eventually be
eliminated and civil servants be made mere chattels of gov-
ernment, taking or leaving whatever is offered.

No union in the private employment sector would stand
for this kind of lmited bargaining for a second. The depri-
vation of any negotiable item moves civil servants back to
the nineteenth century.

Let us repeat here what we said before: the real prob-
lem fs not that public pensions are so high but that those
in the private sector are so low and, in many cases, dis-
appear by the time a worker is ready to retire. Business and
industry are frightened out of their wits that unions might
start demanding the kind of pensions public employees now
receive; pensions that still need improvement, by the way.

This is one issue that every public employee union
should throw its full forces into a battle to defeat,

Another Item To Fight

EARINGS were held in New York City last week to
determine whether or not civil service examination
grades should be rounded out to the nearest figure instead
of the present practice of fractional scoring. The answer is
very simple: they should not,
The reason for this proposal is obvious. It would make
the pool of candidates in every Job title so large that

‘genuine competition would be reduced and, therefore, allow

government a wider hand in choosing whom they want for
any particular job,

This is nothing more than another attempt to circum-
vent the Merit System and officials in the Lindsay Admin-
istration have already made public attacks on civil service
Jobs being earned through merit and fitness.

This is one more idea for public employee unions to
bat down with all their might.

Civil Service

Law & You

By RICHARD GABA

Maio a calle UE tas Ss ak Weal: Wit on Cath
P.C,, and chalrman of the Nassau County Bar Association Labor
Law Committee,

Retroactive Benefits

An Article 78 proceeding in the nature of mandamus
was commenced in the Albany County Supreme Court
wherein the petitioner, a retired Nassau County police of-
ficer, sought judgment directing Arthur Levitt, Comptroller
of the State of New York and Administrator of the New
York State Policemen’s and Firemen’s Retirement system,
to re-argue his “final average salary” under Section 302
(9) (b) of the Retirement and Social Security Law.

The petitioner was a member of the Nassau County
Police Dept. for approximately 21 years until he retired on
Jan. 2, 1971, Two months later, in March 1971, a collective
bargaining agreement between the PBA and the County of
Nassau was signed with all of its terms and conditions ret-
roactive to Jan. 1, 1971.

Pursuant to that agreement, employees, under certain
conditions, were entitled to a lump sum cash termination
payment computed on the basis of three days’ pay for each
year of completed service. In addition thereto, an employee
was entitled to a lump sum cash payment for 50 percent
of accumulated and unused sick leave not to exceed 165
working days.

. . .

WHEN THE PETITIONER retired, he was paid termina-
tion pay and was also paid for 150 days of unused sick leave.
Sometime later, he was notified that for purposes of com-
puting his final average salary, only nine days of termina-
tion pay were included and none of the sick leave pay. An
administrative hearing was held by the Comptroller, and
the hearing officer denied the petitioner's application for
@ redetermination,

In the instant court proceeding, respondent claimed
that petitioner cannot obtain any benefits under the 1971
collective bargaining agreement because he retired prior
to its execution. In addition, the respondent claimed that
the inclusion of termination pay in the computation of final
average salary was an unconstitutional gift of public funds,
Furthermore, respondent urged that payment for accrued
and unused sick leave cannot be used in the computation
of final average salary. .........

It has previously been determined by the courts that
termination payments represent compensation for services
actually rendered and are properly includable in the com-
putation of final average salary. This, however, does not
mean that petitioner must be credited with the full amount
of the cash payments. The Retirement and Social Security
Law defines “final average salary” as being based on any
three consecutive years of service. The court held, there-
fore, that the petitioner was entitled to have the amount
of money received for payment of the termination credits
actually earned in the years which are to be used as the
base for the computation of his final average salary. Since
the termination pay was earned at the rate of three days
per year of service and the payment of it was deferred
until retirement, the Comptroller was correct in his argu-
ment that the amount of termination pay to be included in
computing the final average salary is the amount actually
earned by the petitioner in the three years which are used
in that computation. Accordingly, the inclusion of only nine
days of termination pay was correct,

THE COURT FURTHER held that cash payment for
unused sick leave represents payment for services actually
rendered, There is, however, a legislative policy excluding
such payments from the computation of final average sal-
ary. The legislative scheme appears to be that a policeman
or fireman employed by a political subdivision other than
the State of New York may receive benefits co-extensive
with that of an employee of the State only if an employer
makes an election under Section 333, RSSL. Without such
an election, the employee's benefits would be less than those
of the State employees. There was no election by Nassau
County to provide the additional benefits based on pay-
ments for unused sick leave, and even if there were, the
payment for unused sick leave could not be used in com-
puting final average salary because it is specifically ex-
cluded therefrom by Section 341 (j) (1) (c) RSSL.

Finally, the court held the petitioner was entitled to
the benefits of the collective bargaining agreement executed
subsequent to his retirement but made retroactive to a date
when he was a member of the police force, (Application of
Lecel v. Levitt, 337 NYS 2d 861).

Western Conf Delegates Take Part

In Seminar On Restructuring Of CSEA

ROCHESTER—Samuel Grossfield led off a recent meeting of the Western Confer-
ence of the Civil Service Employees Assn., with a plea to all the delegates to give full effort
to collecting dues directly from members while the organization’s payroll deduction of

such dues js suspended.

Grossfield, Conference presi-
dent, pointed out that “right now
we are at the bargaining table.
Our strength there is in the size
of our membership. We need
those dues not only to show we
still have the members but also
to continue giving the many ser-
vices CSEA provides on numer-
ous levels.”

‘The Employees Association is
being penalized with a 10-month
dues suspension in the Institu-
tional Unit and a three-month
penalty in the other three units
it represents for an alleged strike
last April.

Later

Grossfield strongly

urged CSEA to start planning
immediately “for any potential-

Thruway Member Wins 2nd-Stage Grievance

ALBANY — A second-stage
grievance against the New York
State Thruway Authority has
been decided in favor of Civil
Service Employees Assn, member
Betty Boese at a hearing with

Thruway toll division supervisor,
Melvin E, Marihew, The CSEA
member was represented by feld
representative Rex Trobridge,
Toll collector Boese grieved
that on Jan. 6, four hours of
overtime (1900-2300) should
have been offered to her, as she
was working the 2300-0700 shift.

Section supervisors had assigned
the overtime to @ part-time toll
collector instead, CSEA, in behalf
of collector Boese, claimed a vio-
lation of Section K, Article 3,
Paragraph “B" of the CSEA-ne-
gotiated contract for Unit I
‘Thruway employees,

Supervisor Marihew found
that section supervisors George
Wilk and Phil Cohen had erred
in assigning @ part-time collector
to the overtime and recommend-
ed that collector Boese be com-
pensated for the four hours at
the time-and-one-half rate,

ity that might develop after
March 31," the state contract
expiration date,

“We can't afford to wait this
year,” he said.

CSEA must win the support of
legislators from all over the
state, Grossfield said. He said
Neil Gruppo, Don Antinore, Al
Sibilio and Mary Converse, all
co-chairmen of the Western Con-
ference's political action commit-
tee, are organizing meetings with
legislators now.

Grossfield also said that it’s
up to chapter presidents to en-
\sure that all members support
CBEA if the time comes when
CSEA refuses to work without a
contract.

Restructuring

‘There was a day-long meeting
on restructuring led by A. Victor
Costa, CSEA second vice-presi-
dent and chairman of the CSEA
restructuring committee. West-
em Conference was the first
conference to hold a restructur-
ing meeting

“I was impressed with Vic Cos-
ta’s grasp of the subject and his
dynamic presentation,” Gross-
field said. Although much of the
material presented had been
published In The Leader, Costa's
value was in his interpretation
of the finer points, Grossfield
added,

Grossfield said one ,of the
most important points Costa
made was that chapters no Jong-
er will have the privilege of de-
ciding whether to join a confer-
ence or not.

“Chapters will be amply com-
pensated for mandatory mem-
bership,” he said. “One of the
most important benefits will be
the availability of the new re-
gional offices and staffs for ad-
ditional assistance to chapters."

Costa told his audience that
“the days of voluntary services
for the CSEA are over,"

His reference was to the six
new regional offices which will
be opened under the proposed
restructuring plan in Buffalo,
Syracuse, Albany, New York City
and in communities yet to be de-
termined in the Southern Con-
ference and on Long Island.

Each office will have a staff
of paid employees hired by the
region's executive body and sup-
ervised by a regional field man-
ager, The staff will include fleld-
men, organizers, a political and
research analyst and a public re-
lations analyst,

Satellite offices will be set up
in Binghamton, Rochester and
either Canton or Malone, he said,

Costa also predicted that the
regional offices will broaden the
opportunities for CBEA members
“to have your own say about
local problems. We've got to get
away from the concept that Al-
bany can solve al! the problems.”

This remark was greeted by
applause.

He said standardization “is
what restructuring 1s all about,"
and standardizing the services
‘and staffs among all the region-
al offices should help eliminate
“the chaotic situation we have
now,"

New Board Set-Up

Costa outlined the makeup of
the new board of directors, re-
gional boards and other admin-
istrative bodies, and said that
there will be one delegate for
every 100 members “or a frac-
tion thereof."

The number of statewide
board committees will be re-
duced from 11 to eight, he said,
Standing committees will include
Insurance, legal, constitution and
bylaws, retirees, Jegislative and
convention.

Any CSEA member represent=
ing more than one CSEA entity
will no longer be able to give
away his vote to a proxy, Costa
said. Instead, he must vote for
each entity he represents,

If a CSEA member is a mem-
ber of a competing organization,
even if he's only a card-carrying
member, he won't be able to run
for CSEA office,

‘Within 60 days of his election,
the CSEA president must fill all
committee vacancies, And any’
vacancies occurring after that
must be filled within 30 days,

Every committee must meet at
least four times annually and all
must report to the president, No
member of the Board may serve
on more than one committee,

No officer can serve as a
member or as a chairman of any
committee.

Any member who misses three
Successive meetings of a commit-
tee without reason or permission
of the chairman will be as-
sumed to have resigned and will
be replaced,

Every region must be repre-
sented on every committee, No
committee may have fewer than
seven or more than 11 members
unless the board deems it neces-
sary, Every committee will be in
existence for two years.

Costa said that cards to be
given immediately to new mem-
bers as soon as they join CSEA
should be ready in September,
CSEA also will have a leave form
which will assure continuation
of membership, insurance cover-
age and other benefits during
Jeaves of absence,

Welfare Account

CSEA will set aside $1 per
member in a welfare escrow ac-
count until the account totals $1
‘million after five years.

There will be two divisions—
state and county, or municipal
affaire—in CSEA.

CSEA will hire a comptroller,
& personne! director, a coordin-
ator for retiree affairs, and
enough additional collective bar-
gaining specialists to ensure one
for every 10,000 members,

A telecommunications system
between Albany headquarters
and regional offices for the
transmitting of documents will
be set up.

He said that under Phase IV
of restructuring, more night
shift assistance may be coming,
“In some areas, they're the fore
gotten people,” he said,

Costa said that there are 207,-
000 CSEA members today, but
that CSEA has a potential for
489,000 members in 5 to 10 years,

Monumental beatings with the

them without flinching . . . but
without hesitation he went back
for more. When he was in Res-

O’Hagen was a very sad man
and with good reason, for a fire~

have gone to the fire being in

According to Frederick Tabolt,
Lewis County CSEA chapter
president, “Benefits previously
enjoyed by employees and other
working conditions are clearly
defined in the contract."

The contract was formally
signed Jan. 8 by members of
both negotiating teams, includ-
ing Paul Merz, chairman of
Lewis County Legislature; James
Shea, chairman of the hospital
board personnel committee;
Richard B, Anderson, hospital
administrator; Urban Karcher,
Lewis County treasurer, and the
employee members of the CSEA
negotiating team,

conciliator to bring some
sense to the situation.

“We will go to the Supreme
Court if necessary to prove that
the School District is handling
the employees in an extremely
illegal and cavalier way,” Flaum-
enbaum vowed.

The Massapequa School Dis-
trict unit is one of the many sub-
divisions of Nassau County chap-
ter, largest single chapter In the
CSEA organization. “When they
hurt one of us," Flaumenbaum
said, “they, in effect, are trying
to hurt all of us. One of the
reasons we band together in a
union {s to prevent the establish-
ment from walking all over the
little fellows. Members of the
Massapequa unit can be assured
that they have our active support
in this battle.”

Negotiations for the Massape-
qua Schoo! District contract have
been going on since last March,
when Arthur Davis was unit
president.

“In the meantime,” _

said the current unit president,
Ronnie Harris, “We have gone to
conciliation and to fact-finding
without reaching a fair agree-
ment, and it is becoming increas-
ingly dificult to hold the peo-
ple in line, Our patience has not
been rewarded, and some peo-
ple are suggesting a more active
approach,”

‘The fact-finder's decision,
handed down earlier this month,
allowed only a 3 percent pay
increase, “Now that's a lousy of-
fer,” Flaumenbaum exclaimed,
“when you consider that the cost
of living has risen 4.5 percent
since the last contract agree-
ment, We're mad at this fact-
finder, because he didn't do his
homework.”

In addition, Flaumenbaum an-
nounced plans to file an unfair
labor practice charge against the
School District for refusing to
honor a legal increment for em-
ployees during the extended ne-
gotiations,

take effect when the current
contract expires this March 31.

Highlighting the union’s pro-
gram, approved by its delegate
body at their annual fall conven-
tion, are demands for a salary
hike of 10 percent with a mini-
mum annual raise of $1,200,
whichever is greater, and a re~
tirement plan providing one-half
annual salary after 20 years’ ser-
vice.

These and other major bene
fits sought are negotiated by a
coalition team drawn from all
four of the State negotiating

units represented by CSEA, while
demands peculiar to each of the
units are negotiated separately
and concurrently by teams of
CSEA members whose jobs with
the State are in those units.

All four negotiating units, Ad-
ministrative, Institutional, Oper-
ational and Professional-Scienti-
fic-Technical, comprise a broad
cross-section of occupations and
professions in the state service.
To provide adequate representa-
tion to the various interest
groups. CSEA’s four unit nego-
tinting teams range from 12 to
18 members.

John M, Carey, CSEA staff
coordinator of state negotiations,
stressed the “heavy responsibil-
ity that these CSEA members
willingly take on when they ac-
cept positions on negotiating
teams.”

Carey said that "negotiating,
whether on the coalition or unit
level, is tough work, it goes on
for several months, and during
this period many of these people
are away from thelr homes con-
stantly, Our state negotiating
teams deserve a jot of gratitude
from their fellow workers,”

EXAMS UNDER SIEGE

(Continued from Page 12)
Civil Service Commission, The
Department of Personnel was
impelled to develop litigation-
proof and ultimately fairer tests.
In 1970 it commissioned the Ed-
ucational Testing Service to
study the promotional exams in
the Police Department. One of
the major reasons cited for the
necessity of improving testing
methods was the challenge of
numerous and costly lawsuits—
and that the City was losing
them,

The Department of Personne!
also adopted the safeguard of
the “Test Validation Review
Board" — five-member panels
composed of Personnel Depart-
ment staff, incumbents in the

title being tested, and an outside
member. The boards study pro-
tests by candidates and revise, if
necessary, the key answers be-
fore they are finally adopted.

Legal pressures in the area of
test discrimination have already
forced reform of testing proced-
ures, both in private industry
and in the civil service.

A major case, Griggs v. Duke
Power Company, went all the
way to the Supreme Court, which
in 1970 upheld the EEOC guide-
lines against discrimination in’
testing. The Court's ruling also
firmly established the principle
that discrimination need not be
intentional to be illegal,

Closer to home, the case of
Chance v. Board of Examiners
in 1971 forced the revision of
testing for assistant principals
and principals in the City’s pub-
Me school system. Federal Dis-
trict Court Judge Walter R.
Mansfield, in declaring these
exams discriminatory and not
Job related, commented that ap-
Plicants were required to “mem-
orize and regurgitate laundry
lists of bad answers.” A sample
question from a 1965 exam for
assistant principal, junior high
school, reads as follows: “'I've
Got A Little List’ from the ‘Mi-
kado' is sung by; 1. Nanki-Poo
2. Pish-Tush 3. Ko-Ko 4. Pooh-
Bah.” Judge Mansfield issued an
injunction against the holding
of future tests in these titles un-
til demonstrably job-related tests
could be developed and validated.
The injunction is still outstand-
ing.

George Cooper, a professor at
Columbia Law School, argued the
Chance case for the petitioners,
Civil service testing, he said re-
cently, performed a useful func-
ton at first because it filled jobs
objectively as opposed to polit-
feally. Over the years, however,
“it-has become an encrusted tra-
dition with a certain mode of
testing: academic criteria, irrel-
evant educational crite: ir-
relevant literary criteria.”

Attorney Jeffry Mintz of the
NAACP Legal Defense Fund was
Involved in a successful challenge
in 1971 to the written exams for
patrolman given by the Boston
Police Department, The general-
intelligence exams, which blacks
failed at a higher rate than
whites, were declared discrimina-
tory by a federal court because
they were unrelated to “an oc-
cupational analysis of a police-
man's job." Mintz said that the

Boston tests were “slightly
worse” than New York City's
Patrolman tests, but classified

the City's testing in general as
“shoddy,” No firefighters, he
said, for example, participate in
the creation of a fireman test,
and no psychologists systemat-
ically study whether or not the
Ctly’s tests actually pick the
most qualified applicants,
Whether they are won or lost,
the current legal actions against
the patrolman, sanitationman
and fireman exams will stimu-

late serutiny of the vastly im-
portant and neglected area of
civil service testing. Even a
staunch and aggressive defender
of the Merit System in civil ser~
vice circles, Councilman Robert
Postel, last week called for im-
provement of written tests to
make them more job related and
predictive of employee perform-
ance,

Civil servants who have suc-
cessfully risen through the ranks
may not agree with Professor
Cooper's assessment of City
exams: “What they're doing now
is no better than picking people
out of a hat.” But that fortress
of fairness, the Merit System,
will be vulnerable until it en-
sures fairness and quality testing
for all.

FIRE FLIES

stances, the toughest as well as
the most dangerous position at a
fire, The company, all included,
took a very bad beating but did
a yeoman job. Suddenly as the
fire was being pretty well knock-
ed down, Lieutenant Prank
Smith collapsed and died. The
rest of the company was taken
to the hospital.

‘This particular vacant build-
ing was in such a state of dis-
repair and decay that quite a
few of the wooden steps in the
stairway leading to 236's fire po-
sition were missing, It was tough
enough to stretch a line up them
but to carry a stokes basket
down was almost impossible.
Nevertheless, everything hu-
manly possible was done to help
the stricken officer but there
were those at the scene who
opined that even though he was
pronounced D.O.A. at the hos-
pital, he was D.O.A, at the fire
scene,

Baid one close friend at the
wake: “He just doesn't seem
right without his pipe.” The good
Lieutenant would have loved
that! He was that kind of man.
Rest in eternal and everlasting
peace, Lieutenant Frank E.
