ALBANY, Jan. 9 — Thomas J.
Bolan, an employee of the head-|
quarters staff of the Civil Service
Employees Association in Albany,
died last week after a brief ill-
ness, He was 48.

try.”
Major Recommendations

Among the major recommenda-
tions in the report were the fol-
lowing:

1. A change from the present
contributory to a non-contribu-
tory retirement System—a system
whereby the employer pays the
full cost of the employee retire-
mnt benefits.

2. An increase in the System's
investment in equities or common
stocks, The report suggests a max~-
imum of 60% of the total assets
of the System.

3, The report recommends that
serious consideration be given to
providing some measure of a var-
jable pension—a pension which
would generally reflect increases
or decreases in the cost of living.

4. The report recommends a
higher death benefit, as well as
tying all benefits more closely to
social objectives rather than mak-
ing service and salary predominate
factors.

Intends Legislation
Commenting on the study, Mr.

| Leyitt said, “I am delighted that

Surviving are his wife, Henri-
etta; an uncle, Thomas L. Bolan,

sel to the State Oflce of Gen-
eral Services, The position pays
$12,500 a year, Mr, O'Brien ts for-
mer assistant U.S. attorney for
the Northern New York District,

the report recommends a non-con-
tributory retirement system, I
think this is an important step
and one which I have been advo-
cating for sometime. I intend to
introduce legislation at the oom-
ing Session to accomplish this ob-
Jective, Serious study will be given

ALBANY, Jan, 9—The 1961 Legislature, beginning its
first regular series of sessions this week, faces action on @
number of civil service improvements proposed by Governor
| Rockefeller in his annual message to the lawmakers.

The Governor's 16,000-word message dealt with such
civil service {mprovements as government reorganization,
grievance procedures, review of the Condon-Wadlin Act, an
adjustment in state salaries and continuation of the State’
five-point take-home pay raise, passed last year through the
efforts of the Civil Service Employees Association.

On Television Talk

During a television address
last week, Gov. Nelson A. Rock-
efeller, reporting to the public
on his proposals to the 1961
State Legislature, cited the
need for increased salaries for
public employees.

At one point in his address,
Mr. Rockefeller said: “. . .1
will recommend to the Legisia-
ture this year major adjust-
ments in salaries to attract and
keep first rate people in the
highly-skilled and professional
Jobs in government, where we
are no longer competitive with

|] “If we don’t do these things,
we cannot continue to render
the kind of service that you,

pect,” he sald.

leadership recognizes its ree
sponsibility by the adoption
of enlightened personnel prac-
tices to promote cooperation
for better governmental opere
ations.

“An important aspect of
sound government-employee
relations is an appropriate
procedure for settling eme
ployee grievances and com-
plaints. In 1955, an executive
order was issued which revised
the pre-existing grieve
ance procedure for State em=
ployees, Experience under this
executive order, however, hag
revealed that there is room
for improvement. Accordingly,
I shall soon promulgate an
executive order to improve the
State's grievance procedure
and to further harmonious
employee relations.

IN THE FIRST case you have

In the second case, you have good
public relations because the same
vehicle reflected care and effi-

up the receiver? Or do you answer

makes the ot! end of the wire
feel that you're ready to help

YOUR DEPARTMENT can have

the world, but your department
can have the world's worst public

weeds, A public relations officer

to be the PR do-gooders.

PUBLIC RELATIONS must be
earned. It can't be achieved with
sweet talk or with mirrors. Good
public relations is either there, or
it isn’t.

LOOK AROUND your office now.
Do you have good public relations?
Or can you help make it better?

Efficient Management

The Kennedy administration is
quite concerned with bettering the |
management practices within Ped-
eral agencies.

One of the President Elect's ad-
visors said that the appointments
of Edward Day as Postmaster
General, Robert 5S, McNamara as
Defense Secretary, and Eugene M
Zuckert as Air Secretary were
strongly influenced by their abili-
ties as managers.

Budget director David Bell has
been instructed by Kennedy to
present a strong program to make
Management practices more effi-
ctent.

did not join the program are
covered by some ether plan.
Ninety percent of married men

Lesinski Bill to Prevent
Pay Cuts Introduced |

Representative John Lesinsk!
recently introduced # bill to pre-
vent a decyease in pay for classi-
fied employees. This bill would
cancel a ruling by the Comptrol-
ler General demanding the cuts
in pay

The employees who are threat-
ened with this pay cut are those
who were demoted, through no
fault of their own, before Jan.
1958, These workers were given a
ten percent increase in January,
1958, but the Comptroller General
vuled that the increase was not
to be protected under the 1958
Lesink! Act, as ruled by the Civil
Service Commission, and that
overpayments must be refunded.

If the new Lesinki bill is passed,
it will also give retroactive 10
percent pay increases to the group
of demoted workers who were de-
nied the 1958 increase by the
Comptroller General.

tration will probably ask the CSC
to give new competitive test for
them with the thought that Demo-
crats desiring the jobs might be
among the top three eligibles for
them. If this happens, Kennedy,
will make nominations te the ma-
jority of the openings himself,

Good Omens for 1961

ILL 1961 be a “forward” year for public employees?

There are good omens that—at least—such a year
might be on hand,

Most encouragement has come from the message de-

BEekman 3-6010

livered to the 1961 State Legislature by Governor Nelson A.)

Rockefeller, We particularly liked his preface when he stated
that Government must “have a heart as well as a brain.”
This humanistic approach to the complex problems facing
our State government bodes well for the public servant
and the public at large.

Without giving details at this time, the Governor has
promised action on grievance procedure improvements,
revision of the overharsh Condon-Waldin Law, salaries
and retirement benefits, It 1s noteworthy that Mr. Rocke-
feller’s message cited the areas where major improvements
are most needed.

We have long called for bold, drastic action to modernize
the public service and put its workers on a par with their
fellows in private industry.

Mr. Rockefeller has boldly stated his theme and given
hope to the State's public workers that 1961 can be the year
when modern times will come to the civil service,

The Recruiting Study

E believe the solution to the City’s worsening recruit-

ing problem—the solution Mayor Wagner is seeking
through a study by the Brookings Institution in Washington,
D.C—is more promotional opportunities and higher maxt-
mum pay,

This applies not only to scientific, engineering, social
work and other specialist titles, but to most other titles as
well, In most City Job classifications, the difference between
starting and maximum salary is about $1,000, spread out over
six years—only $180 more per year, (The example used is
for grade 5 in the Career and Salary Plan and !s roughly
proportionate to pay in both higher and lower grades.)

Also, of course, there is the upgrading procedure where-
by only beginning employees profit when their title is raised
to a higher pay grade, and others merely have another
small rung added to the top of their increment ladder,

In a nation with an increasingly stable economy, fewer
and fewer people will trade so much of the opportunity for
advancing themselves for the security and fringe benefits
the City offers—especially when many large corporations now
match these and still offer more pay and promotion op-
portunities.

A study by the Brookings Institution may be helpful,
but it avoids for awhile the necessity to act.

In the long run, the City will get what it pays for, and
if the pay continues to be low and promotions in most cases
scarce, the quality of the City’s personnel will deteriorate,

LAW & YOU

py HAROLD L, HERZSTEIN

Is Condon-Waldin Dying?

ABOUT TWO WEEKS before the State Legislature convened this
past Wednesday, iis Joint Committee, held a public hearing in New

| York City on the repeal of the Condon-Waldin Law, and on other

relationships between the State and its employees, The purpose of
the hearing was to report recommendations to the Legisiature.

1 ATTENDED THE hearing as the representative of the State
Civil Service Employees Association, and presented a letter signed
by its President, Joseph P, Feily, in favor of repeal of the Condon-
Wadlin Law. I noticed that many of the speakers did not refer to
the Law as “The Condon-Wadlin Law" or “The Condon-Wadlin Act’
but only to ‘Condon-Wadlin.” The feeling was that they were talkin
about @ force rather than a law—that is, a social and political forcee—
and even more than that, an evil social and political force which should
be dispelled immediately,

LOGIC WAS APPLIED to the issue of the Condon-Wadlin Law for
many years; but in recent years it has been supplanted by bitterness.
Those who deal with the civil service should know the plain fact.
Civil service employees regard Condon-Wadlin diehards as their oppo-
sition.

In Force 13 Years

THE CIVIL SERVICE has had this anti-strike, anti-civil service
legislation for thirteen years. Civil service and labor groups, and
others have consistently sought its repeal, The holding of the public
hearing by the Ostrander Committee on the repeal of the law Is the
first real indication that the present Legislative and the Executive
Departments, may repeal the Condon-Wadlin Law, IF the Ostrander
Committee makes the recommendation to the Legislature which the
speakers I heard made to the Committee, and IF the Legislawre

daily papers about John Cassesse's |

Commissioner Kennedy. As far as}
I can see now, John !s out on the)

ting no more humane treatment
Rese Mr, Kennedy than we got|
before—including outside Jobs, )
|arievances, salaries, assignment
changes, etc., eto—and the Patrol-
mens Benevolent Association is no
longer in the news,

I think John showed a lot of
guts to go as far as he did, I have!
never heard of any P.B.A. presi-
dent going further—or for that
matter nearly so far, But I think
it’s a shame to quit now, after the
PBA. has lost all advantage of
Mr, Kennedy's tolertion, if not
respect, and the PBA. has won
none of its goals. I don't know
what else we oan do, short of
striking or quitting. I, for one, am
just as much against a strike as
Mr. Kennedy says he is, but some-
things has to be done, and if it
has to be a strike or something,
it is Mr. Kennedy's fault, not ours.

Editor, The Leader:
There seems to be a move on

all around to finally upgrade civil
service to where ts used to be be-
fore the war. The new President

| study and recommended broad in- |
creases, and now Mayor Wugner is

follows the Committee recommendation, and IF the Governor follows
the Legislature and signs the bill, then the Condon-Wadlin Law will
become a dead duck during the 1961 legislative session.

AT THE SESSION of the Committee hearing which I attended,
civil service organization opposition to the Condon-Wadlin Law was
unanimous. It included the State Service Employees Association, the
Patrolmen's Benevolent Association of New York City, the Secondary
School Teachers Association and the Parole Officera Association.

Misunderstanding on Law

THERE IS CONSIDERABLE misunderstanding about the Condon-
Wadlin Law, For example, at the Committee hearing, the representative
of the Secondary School Teachers Association, in asking for the re
peal of the Law, said that if an employee were absent for the pur~
pose of appearing before a legislative committee, he would be striking
under the Law; and that a supervisor who gave an employee time off
for such a purpose, would be guilty of violating the Law. That fs in-
correct. It is an anti-strike law, and nothing else. Public employees
have sufficlent real problems, and do not need fancied problems, It is
® good idea to take s second look at the Condon-Wadlin Law.

THE CONDON-WADLIN Law is contained in one section of the
Civil Service Law, Section 108. It runs less than two ordinary sized
pages, and is simple and direct. In Subdivision 1, Strike’ is defined as
“the failure to report for duty, the wilful absence from one's position,
the stoppage of work, or the abstinence in whole or in part from the full,
faithful and proper performance of the duties of employment, for the
purpose of inducing, influencing or coercing a change in the conditions
of compensation, or the rights, privileges or obligations of employ-
ment." Excepted from that definition are the rights of employees to
express grievances and make complaints in regard to conditions of

“employment, compensation, ete., as long as the exercise of those rights

does not interfere with the performance of duties of employment. Under
Subdivision 2, a strike, as defined, by public employees is prohibited.

| Under Subdivision 4, an employee who strikes loses his job. He can be

reappointed, but {f he 1s, then the reappointment {s subject to con
ditions prescribed by Subdivision 5.

Severity Causes the Trouble
THE SUBDIVISION 5 conditions, because of their severity, have
caused al] the trouble. The compensation of the reappointed employee
cannot be more than {t was immediately before the strike. He cannot ~
recelve an increase In pay for three years. He must be on probation for
five years, during which period he bas no tenure and can be dismissed

On the Federation's position re-

Vaux Owen, said:

“It is proper and desirable that

give close attention to all of the
problems relating to personnel ad~
ministration in the Federal Gov-
ernment.

“Proposals to change the struc-
ture of the present bipartisan Civil

Commission certainly is suscepti-
ble of still further tmprovement
in its operations, it also is a fact
that the Commission has proved
to be an tnereasingly effective

Overtime, Meal Allowance
Improvements Sought For

Public Works Employees

ALBANY, Jan. 9 — In « double
barrelled attempt to Improve the
working conditions for employees
in the Department of Public
Works, who are working on the
highways, Joseph F, Peily, presi-
dent of the Civil Service Employ-
@es Association, recently directed
letters to the P.W, Superinten-
dent, J. Burch McMorran and to
T. Norman Hurd, director of the
Budget of the State of New York.

Mr. Feily's seven point letter
requested that among the immedi-
ate improvements, a 40-hour week
be established with no loss in take
home pay for Barge Canal em-
Ployees. This action would bring
the department's employees on the
game work week as are other state
employee except the State Police.

Also, the Employees Association
requested the conversion of wages
paid to all laborers in the depart-
ment from a datly to annual rate.
In addition, Mr. Feily asked that
the department pay the same
Parking and toll fees now paid)
to other state employees as well|
as providing for a meal allow-
ance for maintenance employees
during periods of overtime work
as well as an increase in the al-
lowance for certain employees
from 6 to 9 per day. Other state
employees under the Comptroller's
Tules now receive a maximum of
12 to 13 per day.

Mr. Feily’s letters follow;

Letter to McMorran

On December 5th we met
with your Mr. Ronan and Mr.
Welch and discussed in detail
the various matters contain-
ed in our letter to you, dated
Sept. 12, 1960, and in your re-
ply to that letter dated Oct.
B1, 1960. We have written to
you separately relative to the
matter of converting the lab-
orers to an annual pay basis.

At the December 5th meet-

ing we discussed a number of
matters aa follows:
1, We asked the Department's
support to the CSEA proposal
that the work week of Barge
Canal employees be reduced
to a maximum 40 hours with-
out loss in take-home pay.
‘This would provide for Canal
employees the same treatment
which the State gave to insti-
tutional employees during the
period — 1956-1958. At the
meeting we agreed to submit
to the Department for its sup-
port the legislative measure
which our legal counsel will
prepare and have introduced
in the Legislature to correct
this situation, and we hope
for your Department's en-
dorsement and active interest
in the legislation involved.

2, We are very glad to note
that the Department has re-
Quested in the 1961-62 Budget
additional funds to enable the
elimination of the situation
wherein certain employees ef
your Department are required
to travel the first ten miles in
performance of State duties at
their own expense each day.
‘We are also glad to note that
Your Departinent has again
Fequested Budget funds to in-
crease the $6.00 per day sub-
aistence for employees assign-
@d to construction work to
$9.00 per day, We are urging
the Budget Director to ap-

prove these requests,
3. We are also asking the

Budget Director to make funds
available to enable relmburse-
ment of gratuities and over-
night parking to employees of
the Public Works Department
as is accorded employees of
other State Agencies.

4, We are giad to note that
you are on record in favor of
payment of a reasonable meal
allowance to maintenance em-
ployees during periods of over-
time worked, and we are also
asking the Budget Director for
this reasonable arrangement
for maintenance employees, a
practice which is followed by
the Thruway Authority and in
private industry generally, and
we understand that meal al-
lowances are accorded county
employees when working over-
time on snow and ice removal
work contracted for by the
State.

Overtime Pay
5. You advised that it was
the opinion of your Depart-
ment that the Civil Service
Law would require an amend-
ment in order to enable mint-
mum overtime pay of four
hours to employees who are
kept on duty beyond the reg-
ular work shift or who are
called back to duty even
though the actual time work-
ed is for a lesser period. We
have referred this question to
our legal consel, and we will
advise you further at a later
date concerning this matter.
We note that you do agree
that such minimum pay is a
common practice in private
industry, and that the sugges-
tion has considerable merit,

6. We are glad to have your
assurance that road mainten-
ance employes do work reg-
ularly established work hours,
although necessity compels
your Department, during win-
ter months for snow and ice
control work, to schedule your
maintenance employees on a
swing shift basis, We had re-
ceived some complaints that
maintenance employees were
being called to duty at almost
any time during the night
and once on duty, these men
were retained for their regular
8-hour shift and this was con-
sidered to be their day's work.
We can understand the work
shifts, but we do feel that such
scheduling should be done in
advance so that the men know
their regular work hours in
advance and are paid for over-
time when called to duty at
times outside the scheduled
work shift.

Policy Matters

1. We are also glad to have
your advice that District En-
gineers and Resident Engine-
ers have all been fully inform-
ed about policies of the De-
partment with regard to work-
ing hours for the Highway
maintenance employees, We
had received complaints that
in certain instances road
maintenance employees were
ordered to report at an as-
sembly point a half hour prior
to the beginning of the work
day, 80 that travel to the par-
tloular work site would be on
the employee's own time, and
in these instances the same
practice was followed relative
to return to the assembly point
trom the work site at quitting

time. We were also advised
that Truck Drivers were or-
dered to gas up their vehicles
on their own time, We will
follow your suggestion to call
these specific cases of viola-
tion of Department policy to
the attention of the Depart-
ment, so that they can be in-
vestigated and corrected.

8. We appreciate your advice

that your 1961-62 Budget re-
quest asks for an Administra-
tive Officer and a Senior Per-
sonnel Administrator In each
District Office, and we appre-
clate your assurance that you
will recommend that the pres-
ent grades, will be given the
opportunity to compete for
these new positions by promo-
tion examination.
We hope to meet with you
and the representatives fo
your Department relative to
matter pertaining to our
members employed by your
Department, so that the
volume of matters to be dis-
cussed at each future meet-
ing is more reasonable.

We appreciated the sincere
interest evidenced in the pro-
blems of the Public Works
employees by Mr. Ronan and
Mr. Welch of your staff dur-
ing our meeting with them on
December 5th, and we are very
hopeful that substantial pro-
gres will made towards gain-
ing solution to a number of
the problems which affect our
members employed by your
Department.

In a letter

said:

1. We have written to you
separately on the problem of
converting the Public Works
laborers to an annual pay
basis, We hope to meet with
you on this problem,

2. Establishment of max-
imum 40-hour work week for
Barge Canal employees with-
out loss in take-home pay,
‘This would provide for these
employees the same treatment
which the State gave to its
institutional employees dur-
ing the period 1956-58. We
urge the State Administration
to sponsor legislation to en-
able this improvement, or sup-
Port legislation which our As~
sociation had introduced last
year and will have introduced
again this year to carry out
this proposal,

3. Elimination of the ar-
rangement whereby certain
employees of the Department
are required to travel the ‘rst
ten miles in performance of
State duties each day at their
own expense, There seems to
be no reasonable basis for
this contribution out of the
pockets of these State em-
ployees.

4. Increase from $6.00 to
$9.00 per day the subssistence
allowance for employees as-
signed to construction work,
as recommended by the State
Department of Public Works,
The Comptroller's rules now
allow employees generally a
per diem maximum of $12.00
oY $13.00 per day,

Allowances
6, Establishment of a rea-

to Dr, Hurd, Mr,
Feily asked for immediate action
on granting funds, make several
working improvements. The letter

Peekskill, New York, has been ap-
pointed an Associate Counsel of
the State Liquor Authority by
Chairman Martin C. Epstein and
was sworn in by Deputy Secretary
of State Bernard G. Gordon at
270 Broadway, New York City.
Mr. Moynahan, whose salary will
be $9,586 per annum, will be as-
signed to the New York City Of-

sonable meal allowance to
maintenance employees who
are kept on duty beyond the
regular work day or called
back to duty outside their reg-
ular work shift, The Comp-
troller’s rules now allow over
time meals for office employes
who work 3 hours on any
single day—Monday thru Pri-
day—or 6 hours on Saturdays,
Sundays and holidays. It does
not seem fair to deprive the
low paid maintenance employ-
ees of these meals allowances
which are standard practices
in private industry and on the
State Thruway, and we under-
stand that meal allowances
are accorded county employ-
ees when working overtime
on snow and ice removal work
contracted for by the State.

6, Certain employee groups,
who already receive less than
the maximum per diem al-
Jowances established under
the Comptroller's rules, were
not acorded reimbursement for
gratuities and overnight park-
ing as made available gener-

ally under the amendment to
the Comptroller's rules, which
were adopted by mutual ac-
tion of your office and the
State Comptroller last year,
We believe that this situation
should be corrected, and that
these employees should receive
reimbursement for gratuities
and overnight parking in or-
der to treat them equally with
their counterparts thruout
