To Repeal Condon-Wadlin |

ALBANY — One of Gov.

Nelson A. Rockefeller's major

efforts with the State Legislature this year will be repeal

. of the anti-strike Condon-Wa

dlin Law and its replacement

with a Fair Public Employees Act, which, he sald, would em-

body the 1966 recommendatior

The Governor made his an-
nouncement in addressing the
opening session of the 1967 Legis-
lature here last week.

Rockefeller appointed the Tay-
lor Committee to study and report
on methods of averting civil ser-
vice strikes. The Legislature —
divided between a Republican
Senate and Democratic Assembly

+—falled to reach accord on a sub-
stitute for replacing Condon-
Wadilin last year. The Legislature
4s again divided along the same
party lines but general belief is
that some new labor relations law
for public employees will be
Sereed upon during thia session
No Pay Comment

The Governor made no mention
of any other action being con-
sidered for public employees.
There was no comment on a State
sulary increase, for instance, but
this & not unusual since his ad-/|

of the Civil Service Employees
Assn, have been conducting nego-
tiation sessions for some time and

| Any announcement on a State
pay increase will come when the
Governor delivers his annual bud-

| tations between his staff and |
CSEA representatives are con-
| cluded by that time.

Along the same lines, the Gov-
ernor did not mention any plans
for further lberalization of the |
State Retirement System. Action
in this area also will come at a
later date. |

In the meantime, the Civil Ser-
vice Employees Assn. has already
pre-filed bills in the Legislature |
to enact most of its 10967 legisia-|
tive program that was approved
by CSEA delegates at their annual
meeting in Buffalo last October.
Heavy accent is being laid on a
State pay increase, further Re-
tirement System liberalization and
& greater amount of mandated
laws ‘for political subdivision em-

appointments and promotions un-
der suitable

Civil Service Law under the man-
date of the Constitution, must be

and fitness, not upon membership
in a labor organization,’*

CSEA also charges that the Gen-
eral Munitelpal Law provides the
only authority for deduction of
dues in a public employee organ-
ization and authorizes the deduc-
tion only in the amount the indi-
vidual employee may specify in
writing. The Municipal Law also
provides, CSEA says, that “any
such written authorization may be
withdrawn by such employee or
member at any time by filing
written notice of such with-
drawal .. .” As @ result, CSEA

The CSEA appeal demands
two-grade reallocations for em-

The basic arguments are con-

follow:

It should be made clear from
the start, that the only original
application for the upgrading of
these office and clerical titles was
submitted through the Civil Ser-

based on what we consider to be

CSEA WantsOpenHearing
On New Clerical Appeal

(Continued from Page 1)
Avoiding The Issue

With this in mind, ft is evident
to us, that the Director of Classi-
fication and Compensation has
seized upon an opportunity, re-
sulting from statements made by
other representatives at a hearing
on November 30, 1966, to demon-
strate the adequacy of State sal-
aries for office and clerical posi-
tions compared to what can be
found in the private segment of
our economy. In so doing, he has
avoided the issue of the proper in-
ternal relationship among the
many classes of State positions
and chooses to brush these argu-
ments aside merely by referring to
past actions taken by his Division
and negating the basic principles
upon which reallocations have
been granted in the past, and
which he has defended for a num-
ber of years.

‘The seriousness of the inequities
existing in the State Compensa-
tion Plan at the present time can-

not be merely glossed over by the |

rendering of a negative decision
which promulgates arguments
that do not primarily concern
themselves with the past relation-
ship of one State position to an-
other. The Director of Classifica-
tion and Compensation has always
attached very high value to “prop-
er internal alignment” which now
suddenly no longer seems to have
the same significance. There is a
distinod difference between di
mining the monetary
class of positions as it relates to
other classes of positions, within
the same compensation plan, and
determining what the proper sal-
ary or wage level should be in all
segments of the economy for a
single class of positions. The argu-
ments used by the Director of
Classification and Compensation
in disapproving the office and
clerical upgradings could be con-
sidered more appropriate in a con-
sideration to determine what
proper sal. or wage level should
be for a single class of positions,
In his decision, the Director of
Classification and Compensation
states that “except for corrective
adjustments, we have reallocated
classes from one salary grade to
another only in cases where it
was clear that there had been a
material increase in the duties
and responsibilities of positions in
the class or whore outside salaries
for certain skills, because of a
supply and demand condition, had
tisen at a more rapid rate and to
higher levels than would have re-
sulted from the general rise in
wages and salaries." Anyone fam-
with some of the factors,
which must be considered and
have been considered in the up-
ward reallocations of State posi-
tion titles, knows that this state-
ment is only partially true,
What Was Left Out
What the Director of Classifi-
eation and Compensation fails to
gay {5 that serious consideration
must be given to the effect on
other titles when considering the
Possibility of upgrading a specific
title, In other words, the internal
relationship of one position or
class of positions to another posi-
tion or another class of positions
has received significant considera-
tion in prior determination ren-

, dered by the Director of Classifi-

eation and Compensation. ‘This
applies to reallocations brought

| 95 well as those brought about
| by the initiative of the Director
| of Classification and Compensa-
tion. Hence, it is possible for a
class of positions to be reallocated
upward as a result of riding on
the coat tails of another class of
| positions for which there is ade-
| quate evidence of the material in-
| crease In the duties and respon-
sibilities. If this is not upward
reallocation resulting from the
| Internal relationship of one posi-
| tlon or class to another, then we
| would like to know what such
action could properly be called?
Such action was evident with re-
spect to the upward reallocation
of Correction Officers and affect-
ed Correction Hospital Nursing
titles, Tt was also evident in the
upward reallocation of Psychiatric
Attendant and affected several

hursing titles as well as Childrens! eq on an in-depth basis prior to| James McHugo, supervising nurse; June Schellei
| Supervisor titles,

With respect to the realloca-

tion of classes where outside sal- |

aries for certain skills, because of
the supply and demand condition,
had nm at @ more rapid rate
and to higher levels than would
have resulted from the general
rise In wages and salaries, the re-
corded evidence seems to over-
whelmingly point to approval of
the use of a variable minimum on
in area basis by the Director of
Classification and Compensation
rather than to the upward reallo-
cation of position classes, The re-
cent “blue-collar” upward reallo-
cations were justified by the Dir-
ector of Classification and Com-
pensation on this basis, but such
justification for these positions
had been in evidence for a num-
ber of years, and the recent
action taken by the Director of
Classification and Compensation
should have been promulgated
long ago.

Emphasis
The Director of Classification

and Compensation in his decision |

quoted a paragraph from his An-

nual Salary Survey Report which |

he filed with the President of the
Civil Service Commission and the
Governor in 1965.

“In the professional fields of
medical services, education ad-
ministration and social welfare,
there have been extraordinary in-
creases in the demands for highly
trained specialists without a con-
current expansion in supply, In
these fields, there are higher-
than-normal vacancy rates and
both the recruitment of qualified
personnel and the retention of
present employees have been ¢s-
pecially diffioult, Some maladjust-
ment between supply and demand

may also be detected in the blue |

collar fields

We have emphasized a state-
ment in this paragraph to em~-
phosize the same problem which
exists in several of the clerical
positions, As we had mentioned
at the Nov, 30 hearing, the
vacancy rate for the positions of
account clerk, typist, telephone
Operator, tab operator, key punch
Operator, and stenographer all
exceeded the normal vacancy rate
of 6 per cent, For example, the
vacancy rate in the position of
clerk is 10 per cent, account clerk
fg 11 per cent, typist is 10 per
cent, telephone operator ts 8 per
cent, tab operator ts 22 per cent,
key punch operator is 10 per cent,
and finally the position of sten-
oxrapher which has 662 vacancies

cent. This is one of the factors
| which we feel makes this reallo-~
cation necessary. When the vac-
ancy rate exceeds the normal per
cent, then the extra workload falls
on those employees who are left.)
| This ts certainly not fair or justi-
fied.

No True Survey

The Director of Classification |
and Compensation further states
in his decision “there is no evi-
dence of any material inerease in |
the duties and responsibilities of
all positions in the clerical ser-
vice , .

@ general statement when he has
not conducted an intensive survey |
of all State office and clerical |

survey should have been conduct-

‘conclusion. We feel that such a

survey would demonstrate that
there definitely had been a ma-
terial increase in the duties and |
responsibilities of these positions.

The Director of Classification |
and Compensation also states “our
theory that salary relationships
within a pay plan once established
should never be changed disre-
gards completely the facts of
modern business life." We have
never set forth such a theory,
which by Its very nature would of
necessity eliminate the entire re~
classification and/or reallocation |
appeals procedure as set forth in
the State Civil Service: Law.

Kelly further states ‘the
petitioners in this case point to
changed pay relationships be-
tween their titles and some 400

other titles In the State's pay
plan. We direct thelr attention
|to the 2,400 titles whose pay

raises had not been changed since
1954." In essence, with such a
statement, the Director of Classi-
fication and Compensation Is say-
| ing absolutely nothing which can
be used in justifying his disap-
| proval of this appeal. He is merely
| expressing his own subjective
negative thinking by implying |

that since 2,400 State titles have
not had their pay grades changed
since 1954, the pay grades for of- |
fice and clerical titles should also

not be changed.

A Major Concern On
Constitution Change

N the first of a series of reports the Temporary State

mm! Constitution Convention will submit | Committees of the various em-
ie seseaanagee hay | ployee organizations get together

to the people of New York State and to delegates to New
York’s ninth Constitutional Convention one of the major
issues proposed for study is “Should provisions be made for
collective bargaining by public employees? If so, should the
right to strike be explicity granted or denied?”

"These issues are among the most important matters af-
fecting civil servants today and there is scarcely enough
urgency of language to impel public employees to direct their
most ardent efforts to see that any new Constitutional
amendments on these subjects are written for, not against,
the best interests of the entire civil service.

There is the great danger that encompassing such areas
of labor relations into the rigidity of constitutional law may
bind public employees to negotiating procedures that at a
future date may become obsolete as bargaining techniques
become more sophisticated, A constitutional prohibition
against civil service strikes would have to have extraordinary
compensations in order for it to be any way acceptable to
public employees.

Running parallel with these considerations fs the fact
that Governor Rockefeller and the State Legislature intend
to deal with these same issues this year, Will the final solu-
tion to repeal and replace the Condon-Wadlin anti-strike
Jaw, when it is written into State law, be in conflict with
decisions arrived at by the convention delegates?

‘There will have to be extensive co-ordination of effort full time and still a grade 4, still
and interest between the State’s public employees, its execu- |doing my share of work while the

tive and legislative bodies and the Constitutional Convention
delegates in order to arrive at a new labor relations program
in civil service that is not in conflict for either constitutional,
legal or anti-public employee reasons,

We propose right now that the Governor's office, repre-
sentatives of the Legislature, the Constitutional Convention
and the public employee organizations of the State form a
liason committee to prevent any working at cross purposes
and create a feasible line of of communication that will re-
‘sult in laws and constitutional changes that will serve both
the public and the employees who serve that public.

New Clerk Appeal

precedent may be set soon by the Civil Service Em-

ployees Assn. with {ts call for an open hearing before
the State Civil Service Commission on an appeal to reallocate
180 State clerical titles by two pay grades, The appeal is from
& State Division of Classification and Compensation decision
which denied an earlier appeal on the upgrading filed by
the Employees Association,

We believe the CSEA request for an open hearing has
considerable merit, the main one being that {t allows for
human as well as statistical reasoning and argumentation.
At an open hearing on the original appeal, Employees Asso-
ciation members were not only eloquent in their arguments
but also presented, apparently, some factual material that
Was not taken into consideration in judging the reallocation
request,

Sick Leave Bill

Editor, The Leader:

In his letter which appeared
in the Dec. 20 issue of The
Leader, Maurice Weiner pointed
out very clearly why it would be
good business for the State to pay
employees for unused sick leave
credits upon separation from the
Service,

For the last twenty years sick
leave bills have been introduced
and every year they have died in
committee, except for the paltry
bill passed last year which picks
up health plan payments.

Payment for sick leave accurals
makes good sense. Then why isn’t
it granted? For one thing, too
many sick leave bills are intro-
duced every year. If we employees
can't agree among ourselves on
what we want how can we expect
our legislaters to act favorably? |
We suggest that the Legislative |

on one bill-and together push it

ganizations interested, please

Civil Service
Law & You

By WILLIAM GOFFEN

(Mr. Goffen, a member of the New York Bar, teaches law at the
College of the City of New York, is the author of many books and
articles and co-authored “New York Criminal Law.)

Teacher’s Tenure Traps

THE BY-LAWS of the Board of Higher Education do
not assure tenure to a teacher until she has taught for three
full years and been reappointed for a fourth year. The years
must be consecutive and, according to the by-laws, compen-
ation must be on an annual salary basis,

THESE TECHNICALITIES place a tremendous burden
of good faith upon the Board when it hires a new teacher,
The teacher {s likely to be trusting, For example, she may
not realize that payment of her salary between September |
and June intsead of on a twelve month basis may be seized
upon to render the year’s work valueless for tenure purposes,
The Board may raise a similar contention when the salary
has been set on a monthly intsead of annual basis. |

THE CASE of Rosen y. Board of Higher Education of the
City of New York (New York Law Journal, July 14, 1966) illu-
strates the extremes resorted to by the Board to prevent
tenure. Fortunately, a wise Judge, Vincent A. Lupiano, owt
through technical considerations to reach a just conclusion.

THE PETITIONER, having served for three full years as
a teacher at Hunter College High School, was reappointed for
a fourth year. Yet, she was dismissed without charges or a *
hearing.

IN HER Article 7% proceeding, the petitioner claimed she
was entitled to a hearing on charges as a tenured teacher. ®
The Board answered that her first year of service did not
count because her salary that year was fixed on a monthly
instead of an annual basis, Still, the Board had to concede
that she performed services for a full school year and received ~
a full year’s salary. Her services were given pursuant to. a
formal letter of appointment for a period "9-10-62—6-30-63
plus 7-1-63—8-1-63 (full program)" at a salary of $450 per
month,

A LITERAL and exact reading of the by-laws support-
ed the Board’s argument. They clearly stated that tenure
depends upon service on an annual salary, However, Judge
Lupiano was less concerned with exactness than with equity
and justice.

IN HOLDING that the pettioner had tenure and could not
be dismissed except on cHfarges proven at a hearing, Judge:
Luplano observed that the letter initially appointing the peti-
tioner did so for a full school year (September to June). She
also taught in the summer sesssion, but such summer teach-
ing was not essential to tenure credit,

WHILE THE letter of appointment undeniably fixed the
petitioner’s salary on a monthly rather than annual basis,
there may have been ambiguity as to whether her contract
was monthly rather than annual. There is a familiar rule of
contract interpretation that ambiguity must be resolved
against the party drafting the instrument. The reason for the
tule is that the drafter had it in his power to avold the -
ambiguity by choosing clear language. Applying the rule,
Judge Lupiano held that the appointment was on an annual
basis for tenure purposes, As the jurist stated:

Tm view of the ambiguity of the letter notifying
petitioner of her appointment, any doubts as to its
meaning should be resolved in favor of petitioner and
against respondent, which, with knowledge of its own
regulations, had it within its power to make pellucidly
clear the terms of petitioner's employment

THE PETITIONER was indeed fortunate that an under-'
standing jurist passed upon her case,

THE ROSEN case illustrates the desirability of seeking
legal guidance before entering into important contracts,
Teachers tend to be too trusting, and many a teacher takes
employment with the Board of Higher Education without
any awareness of the obstacles that may block achievement
of‘ tenure. Only after three years of full time service may “
the teacher learn for the first time that for technical reasons
none of that time counts for tenure,

er goal for smashing the 3.2
guidelines only weeks ago, indi-
cates that the climate for an even
larger pay raise may be brewing
in Congress.

Members of Congress have be-
come quite dismayed by the 3.2
guideline in the past year. And
why not? It is no longer in line
with the Jast reported consumer
price index rise (3.9) to say noth-
ing of where the raise itself will
leave the Federal employee by
next year and the changes that
the index goes through in that
time.

‘The guidelines have been tram-
pled upon in strike settlements in
private industry and have been
bypassed by the government itself
in the granting of raises to small
groups of employees working for
the government and more speci-
fically in the granting of the 44

Drago said, “the adoption of this

MANY CIVIL servants are fam~-
filer with the word “parameters.”
We have heard this word used
to explain the words “guidelines”
and “framework.” In government,
parameter’ means delineating «
problem.

THERE IS also a new phrase in| state o

government which we are sure
our readers know. It is “Ratchets
1 and 2,” referring to successive
squeezes on a government agency's
budget. We think that this phrase

is most descriptive and much
more scourate than previous
phraseology.
