Social Security Nearer
NYC Employees
For
Mayor Robert FP. Wagner hailed
Governor Averell Harriman's
promise to recommend to the Leg-
isiature that meets in January
that Social Security be extended
to employees of the State and
its communities, That would in-
clude New York City.
The Governor spoke favorably
of the plan cniled “supplement |
ation,” whereby the public retire-
ment system pension remains in-
tuct, and Social Security, with its
survivor and pension benefits, be-
comes additional,
What State Group Voted
‘The Civil Service Employees As-
sociation, consisting of state em-
ployees, and local government em-
ployees exclusive of New York
City's, favors supplementation—
adding Social Security benefits to
those of the public employee re-
tirement system, leaving the pen-
sion part of the public employee
system allowance intact, The reso-
lution reads:
“Resolved, that the Asoclation
sponsor or support legislation
promptly to provide that Social
Security coverage be made avatl-
able to all members of the State
Retirement System not so covered.
with such benefits supplemental to
the benefits of the Retirernent
System,"
The Governor's plan would al-
low an employee voluntarily to
reduce his own contribution to the
Btate Employees’ Retirement Sys- |
tem by the amount of his Fed-
eral Social Security tax. Chus em-
ployees could, If they chose, obtain |
the added benefits of Social Se-
curity coverage without added
out-of-pocket costs and with only
a smail reduction in their State
retirement benefits
Ful Supplementation
Another alternative, not specifi-
cally mentioned in the Governor's
announcement, {s that the em-
ployee, Instead of not having to pay
anything directly for Social
Security, could decide to pay the
Social Security tax additionally.
‘This would result in his public em-
ployee retirement system annuity—
the part he himself tinunces— r
maining unreduced, In any event,
Social Security benefits are com- |
plete and remain so regardless of |
the contribution method, and also,
through either supplementation
plans, whether it is absolute or
modified, the pension part of the
public employee retirement allow-
ance remains unchanged,
City Employees’ Choice
The Mayor pointed out that
present City employees will have
the opportunity of joining the So-
cial Security System. It will not
be mandatory. However, if a mem-
ber of a public employee penaton
system also chooses to obtain the
benefits of Social Security, he may
do so at no added outlay, as the
proposed plan permits him to re-
duce his own payments to his
Public employee pension fund, and
use the difference to pay his share
of the Federal Social Security tax.
The City would have to pay its
share of this tax, as an employer,
dn any case
Wants to Move Fast
The Mayor emphasized that it is
first necessary for permissive leg-
falation to be passed by the State
Legislature, and for procedures
and rules to be set up before the
City can act on the required em-
Ployee referendum set forth in the
Proposed jaw, He further indicated

ments of the local VA's home-loan
guarantee program during the 11
years of its existence.
“Our office has guaranteed loans
on soine 300,000 homes,” Mr. Dit-
trich stated, “and it has been a
very satisfactory experience, Our
default ratio has been 6.3 per
cent (or $3 on $1,000), vh.je the
national average is 0.6 per cent,
still a small figure. And we ex-
pect 100 per cent recovery.”
Asked what kind of house the
enact a law, the Mayor assured.
“I am happy to join Governor
Harriman in this move to expand
retirement benefits to our City em-
ployees,” sald Mr. Wagner. “It is
particularly gratifying for me be-
cause I am, in this way, continuing
the work which my father, the late
Senator Wagner, began when he
was successful in having the pres-
ent Socinl Security Law put on

toward providing mayors with top-level administrative help but that
this trend does not carry over Into uniform names for these posi-
tions.
The association notes that within the last five years at least ten

names for the job.
‘The cities and the title each uses are: New York City, city ad-
ministrator; Salisbury, Md., executive secretary; Los Angeles, city
administrative officer; Philadelphia, managing director; St. Cloud,
Minn., administrative officer; Boston, director of department of ad~
ministrative service; Newark, N. J,, business administrator; New

What Preusse Recommends
The City Administrator makes clear-cut recommen- |
dations: That all smergency defense positions’ be
studied with a view toward classifying them; that where
positions are found to be comparable to positions in other
City agencies, they be filled by competitive civil service
employees under the merit system; that job descriptions, |
requirements, and salary grades be established for all
positions designed as emergency defense positions; and
that job-hoiders who fail to meet the requirements be
dropped or transferred.
The report also called for more liaison between the
various levels of employees in the department, with staff |
meetings, clearer lines of authority, and an opportunity
for employees to participate in creative work.
The report is a courageous document, Mr. Preusse,
who had a major role in the creation of New York City’s
Department of Personne! and its new classification system,
shows once again that he is a friend of the merit system.
He deserves the plaudits of all in civil service.
A Start for Competitive
Federal Promotions
HILE so far-flung, intricate and precavious a sys-
tem as the Federal civil service could hardly be
overhauled overnight, it is encouraging to find the U. 8,
Civil Service Commission preparing to make at least
some promotions competitive, Up to now, promotions have
been based on personal or official choice, with overall re-
sults less than satisfactory,
The Commission plans to propose competitive tests
for promotions in the lower ranks, and a more rigorous
and searching effort to advance the best qualified present
and future employees to the higher positions. At least
{his is a good start, Moreover, it portends the ultimate

Fire Lieut. Eligibles Ask
City
to ‘Stop Chiselling’
And Speed Promotions
“We have the Jaw, the courts,
the facts, the entire Fire Depart-|
ment and the newspapers on
our side,” say fire Heutenant ell-
gibles, “and yet New York City
makes men work in ‘acting’ titles,
instesd of promoting them.”
The Court of Appents “has twice
held that keeping the men at the
duties of the next higher rank—
for which, incidentally, they get
jonly the pay of the lower rank—
is Wegal.
Fire Commissioner Edward F.
Cavanagh Jr. is opposed to such
out-of-title work, and even told
the Board of Estimate that more
WHERE TO DINE
promotions are necessary for the
efficient functioning of the de-
partment. The actual objective of
the eligibles is to induce promo-
tions, but the only path open is
through prohibition of “acting”
titles
“Nobody seems to be In favor
of it," the Pire Lieutenant Eli-
gibles Association says, of out-of-
title work, “but still the prrctice

‘The City maintains that the pe-

ties are assigned regardless of
such eligibility, the association
says. In the cases of captain and

The eligibles seek an appoint
ment with Mayor Robert F. Wag-
ner, They realize that what he
favors would stand an excellent
likelihood of winning out, and they
want to get him to favor their
cause, Already they have seen Vic-
tor J. Condello, the Mayor's legis-
lative representative in Albany,

Me hearing by the Board.
Contempt Charges Possible
| If the eligibles have to wage
their court case all the way to the
Court of Appeals, a costly process,
and If they win, they say they have
no recourse save to have City of-
fictals cited for contempt of court,
if disobedience to the law, and the
court order, continues thereafter,
‘The present case differs from the
others of the same nature because
brought while the list was still
young. Previous cases dealt with
lists nearing their expiration date,
Hence success in the instant case
could mean the promotion of an
additional 200 to lieutenant, This
fact the eligibles cited to refute the
City’s assertion that the issue is
negligible, and that the “acting”
assignments are merely intermit-
tent, The $749,507 saved in about
four months is at the rate of §$2,-
248, 521 a year, they point out, em-
phasizing that the City treaty the

ary, and without regard to legal
requirements

Steady Deetine
Tracing the drop in the num-

hospitals, the union stated that
in 1948-1949, 61 percent of the
authorized registered nurse line:
Including supervisory personnel,
¢ filled by registered nurses.
In 1995-1956, the department was
down to 483 percent, in 1948-
1949, 484 percent, in 1955-1956
27 percent

THEREFORE BE IT RE-
SOLVED that the Association ob-

to provide the following benefits:
1, A 15% Increase in base pay
|for all State employees,
2. The establishment of A
maximum 40 hour work week for
employees working more than 40
hours with no loss in take-home
pay.
3. Establishment of a fund
sufficient to provide for correc-

may develop during the year,

jview the factors that led to the

| Committee.
History
Pirst and foremost, the Com-
mittee felt that the need for a
40 hour week is non-controverstal
ond should be a primary objec-
tive of the Association this year,
Last year thousands of State em-
|ployees had their work hours re-
duced from 48 to 44 or 44 to 40,
but a large number of these re-
ceived no cash Income tncrease
The reat of the Stete employees
received $300.
The year before that, 1955, saw
no general adjustment. The new
salary plan. was installed in 1954]
ond although it is clear that it
at faster rate, However, in re-
cent months the cost of living ts
again on the march toward de-
|valuing our wage dollar, At this
writing, the Consumer's Price In-
dex is at an all time high of 117
jand has risen for 5 consecutive
jmonths, The significance of this
Hes not so much in the amount
of the rise, as in its trend and
relative activity after remaining
practically stationary month after
tonth during the last few years.
State employees, in the early
1940’s lost ground never re-
gained during that inflation. For
example, the Consumer's Price
Index from 1940 to 1943 rose
nearly 25% before any adjust-
ment whatsoever was made to
State salaries. This should not
and cannot be repeated, Thus,
we are concerned with living cost
changes,
Wages in Industry
Wage increases in private in-
jdustry since the State adminis-
tration last considered this prob-
jlem have been substantial, The

Facts — Questions — Answers
Facts:
1, The MILEA, {ts the Only All S
Employees Association,
No one ts more familiar with the problems of the Mental
Hygiene employees than an organization of the Mental Hy-
giene employees themselves,
The M.HE.A has completed its 50th year since its organi-
zation
Questions:
1, What ts the Mental Hygiene Employees Association?
2. How does M.HLE-A. gain its objectives?
9. What are the objectives for 1956 - 1957?
4. What are the dues?
Answers:
1, The M.HLE.A. is an organization of employees in the De-
partment of Mental Hygiene who have banded together for
the purpose of promoting those objectives which would in-
sure—better Working conditions, adequate salaries, promo-
tional opportunities, realistic personnel policies, resolution
of problems and improve the general welfare of the employee.
Working closely with the C.S.E.A., through the Mental Hy-
glene Representative, this Association drafts resolutions for
inclusion in the current program.
Through its Legislative Committee, M.HEA. officials ap-
proach the legislators in an effort to promote those Bills
benefiting the employee of the Department of Mental Hy-
glene
This Association has a meeting with the Commissioner and
his stall several times a year to resolve those problems
which do not require an act of the Legislature, but may be
solved by a Directive from the Commissioner. This panel is
made up of the elected officers and a rotating group of
representatives.
High on the list of objectives are the
Promotional Series for Attendants
5 day - 40 hour week
Adequate staffing in the institutions
37-%, hour week for institution office employees
25-year pension plan at half salary
The above resolutions, together with other listed on the
