A New Twist:
Retroactive
Promotions

By PHILIP FINE

Certifications being good for 30
days, they were functioning in
either direction last week for
some eligibles, so that the em-
Ployees could be promoted to
Clerk, Grade 3, 4 or 5, retroactive
to July 1,

Since the cost-of-living bonus
was incorporated into base pay
as of that date, the promotion
means no actual addition in

money for nearly all of those to)

be promoted in this manner. But
it does put them in the higher

PatrolOfficers

Sue U.S. Over
Dismissals

Charles G. Randall of 64-45
Booth Street, Forest Hills, Queens,
has announced that an action
will be bought in the Federal Dis-
trict Court to vacate a decision

the United States Customs
House which “riffed" Port Patrol
Officers from their positions.

Mr. Randall, president of the
Displaced Port Patrol Officers’
Association, claims that their
Separation was in violation of the
Civil rvice Rules and Regula-
tions and the Veterans’ Prefer-
ence Act of 1912 and 1944.

Mr. Randall asks that former
Patrol Officers communicate with
him.

The LEADER has learned from
@n authoritative source that all
policemen and firemen are to be
deferred from military service,
‘no matter how serious the inter-
national situation gets” and how
| many men are needed in the armed
forces.

The teasoning behind this pol-
icy is that the work done by
policemen and firemen is so vital
for the home front that any war
effort might suffer if they were
taken from their local jobs, While
many reasoned this way during
World War II, the extended Civil
Defense planned for the current
jeffort makes the argument much
more forceful this time, Policemen
and Firemen, in addition to their
regular duties, are expected to be
called upon to serve as the train-
ing nucleus for Civil Defense
workers.

In addition to policemen and
firemen, other employees in criti-
cal City jobs will probably be af-
fected. Water engineers and sew-
age engineers are examples of
those considered.

Stadents Deferred
In other respects the Selective

Service system to be set up is still
shrouded in questions, the answers
depending in great part on what
happens in Korea, The only defi-
nite information is that students
at recognized educational institu-
tions — both high schools and
colleges — will have their induc-
tion postponed until the enc of the
academic year provided they stay
in school in good standing, On the
other hand, actual deferments are

At the moment, members of the
Guard or Reserves who are in
school are not to be deferred,

Employee

By Dr. Frank L, Tolman

A Major Weakness in State's Business

INERTIA is a major force in public administration.
The tendency almost everywhere is to let well enough
alone and to postpone dealing with major problems as
long as possible, The fact that machinery exists for cor-
recting major inequities and that the law requires that
machinery be put to work when the aggrieved or injured
employee so requests or demands, seems to make little
difference, 5

In all my years of living with the public service, I have
seen instance after instance where certain groups of em-
ployees or certain categories of workers have been ex-
ploited or forgotten as far as fair dealing and equal treat-
ment or pay is concerned,

Years of effort and an expensive legislative survey
were required to establish the principle of equal pay for
equal work. It required a long campaign to raise the pay
of highly trained men recruited during the great depres-
sion at token salaries, to parity with their fellow-em-
ployees. It required years of labor to abolish the sweat-
shop pay scales paid employees of the Mental Hygiene
Department and to consider them as normal, efficient em-
ployees,

Ten-Year Poker Game

If the present tendency to pay higher rates for new

positions ated under new titles continues, it will be
necessary to try again to obtain from the Governor and
the Legislature observance in fact as in theory of the es-

tablished policy of equal pay for equal work.

For ten years or more something resembling a poker
game has gone on between the Civil Service Department,
the Budget, the Correction Department and the officers
and employees who protect the public from the insane
criminals, and the criminals from each other. Debate has
waxed tense, on the $64 questions: When is a prison not a
prison? and When is a guard of prisoners not a prison
guard? Instead of looking honestly and critically at the
jobs at Dannemora and Matteawan, attention has been
too often directed to the hospitals in other departments
and prevailing wage scales there.

under Social Security of the State
Retirement System. Tt was pe
fectly evident that it would de-
stroy all possibility of improving
the present State Retirement
System and would probably lead
to efforts to break down the
tem so that there would be a
single, instead of a double-headed, |
retirement plan,

“Tt is generally felt that the
Constitutional provision could be
amended as it was not an iron-|
clad bulwark for the members of
the Retirement System. Certainly |
so far as new members were con- |
cerned, the guarantee could be!
suspended. There are also a num-
ber of pension plans not protected
by the Constitutional provision in
which our members are interested
and elements of uncertainty |
would be introduced into the to-
ial problem of Social Security for
State and local employees,
Possible Effect on Social Security

“It was also felt that inclusion
under Social Security would be
a detriment, if not a bar, to im-
proving other aspects of Social
Security, such as disability pen-
sions, health and sickness insur-
ance and further liberalization of
the State Retirement System
which can be expected only if

Great hope was created when the Governor approved
the placing of most of the personnel of these institutions
in the competitive class with new employees to be chosen
on the basis of merit and fitness. A long conference of all
interested parties seemed to agree on minimum standards
of education and experience.

That great hope was dimmed when the first examina-
tion under the new set-up was announced, The employees
found that somehow the standards agreed upon had been
forgotten and seemed to be back at the old sub-standard
level of job requirements which would necessarily mean
sub-standard wages. The matter was called to the atten-
tion of the State Ci Service Commission and is now
under consideration by it. The Association has asked that
the examination be postponed until the educational re-
quirements can be amended,

The time has come, in my opinion, when justice and
reason must prevail, We cannot longer tolerate half-way
measures and evasion of fact,

ALBANY, July 31 — Overtime

pay earned by employees must be
paid within six days after the
week in which it was earned, So
Attorney General Nathaniel Gold-

But there's a catch. It doesn’t

apply to public employees, the At-
torney General's Office told The
LEADER last week—it’s only for
private industry.

So if you've been working over-

time, and waiting weeks for re«
compense on it—why, it looks like
you'll just have to wait.

What—No
Downgrading? ©

“ O you mean to say that we must neyer downgrade
any salary, even if the facts show that the salary
being paid is too high?” :
This question was recently asked by an official of the
State Division of Compensation and Classification. : _
There is more to salary fixing than just the juggling
around of figures and statistics. The clearest answer to that
official is: “When you think that a downgrading is required,
you should look at the effect before taking action. No mat-
ter how correct your figures appear, if the downgrading is

going to lose the State valued employees, if it is going to|y abo:

reduce morale in a department, if it is going to make it more
difficult to recruit—then of course you don’t go through
with a salary downgrading.” 5
How important these factors are was demonstrated in
two recent cases: (a) the proposed downgrading of claims
examiners in the Division of Placement and Unemployment
Insurance; and (b) the proposed downgrading of physical
therapists in the State service. ‘ :
In the first of these cases, public pean showed what
a detrimental effect on the department's work resulted from
Jowered morale. In the second case, State officials frankly
admit that they won't be able to recruit the physical thera-
pists they need to do important health work—and that in
fact they are losing present workers. i :
Then, too, there is always the sharp question of fact in
a downgrading. A statement by Mr, Earl Kelly, head of the
Division, stated frankly that the public hearings in the
claims examiner cases had presented facts showing that the
proposed downgrading was unjustified. _ ae:
The answer to the question which began this editorial
ought to be obvious.

Citation to
Jack Di Graziano

HE LEADER’s 1950 Citation for the most brilliant

sports play of the year goes to Jack Di Graziano, Sani-
tation Man Class C, NYC. ‘

Di Graziano's name will long be remembered in the
Sanitation and in the Police Departments,

On Tuesday, July 25, he accomplished what only
happens in the movies and in the old Frank Merriwell
novels.

The Police and Sanitation Departments were playing
the annual baseball championship game at Yankee Sta-
dium. It was the second half of the ninth inning, The cops
were ahead 4-0, It was practically all over, and spectators
started leaving the ball field, The sanitation boys were
up at bat.

Suddenly, swiftly, unpredictably, what with a few
errors by the cops, a few men walked, a few good short
drives by the street cleaners, the whitewings scored four
runs — making everything even,

The score was now 4-4, The bases were filled, There
were two outs,

A new intensity was apparent both among the players
and the audience. A huge, piercing ery went up from the
stands: “We want a hit! We want a hit!”

Jack Di Graziano came up to bat.

The pitch came; the ball seemed to sidle lazily from
itcher’s box to batter. Di Graziano’s bat swung straight
forward into the ball, and the leather-coated missle

streaked into right field — not too high — out and out
and out — then over the fence and into the stands,

It was a home run. The only home run of the game.

Four men came sprinting around the bases, The game
was over, The score was 8-4, favor of the sanitation men.

Di Graziano’s fellow players “mobbed” him, kissed
him, carried him to the dugout.

The cops came over, shook hands, walked moodily to
their dugout, >

By IRVING COHEN
Research Consultant
‘The Civil Service Employees Assn,

PAY SCALES for craftsmen and
maintenance men provide a strik-
ing illustration of the spread be-
tween State pay and the wages
paid in private industry for com-
parable work.

In State service, craftsmen are
now grouped in salary grades 8
and 9; maintenance men in sal-
ary grade 5. On a straight hourly
basis, for a work year of 2,000
hours, the rates of pay in these
grades are $1,104 to $1.449 an
hour for maintenance men; and

1.311 to $1.656 and $1,380 to

1.725 for craftsmen. Labor rates
in State service range from 90
cents to $1.09 ah hour.

What are the comparable rates
of pay in private industry?

Paid in 25 upstate cities on June

A study of the prevailing rates
10, 1950, shows the following
range of hourly pay rates for
elght common construction jobs,
New York City rates for April 3,
1950 are shown separately,

25 Upstate

Title Cities NY
Bricklayer $2.25 -3.00 $3.20
Plasterer 1.75 -3.00 3.20
Carpenter 1.80 -2.50 2.75
Electrician 1.82 -3.00 3.00

rer 90 -1.77% 1.70
Painter 1.37%-2.25 2.45
Plumber 1.70 -2.75 3.00
Roofer 180 -2.75

Comparing the Rates

Compare these rates with State
rates of pay ranging from $1.31 to
$1,724 for tradesmen. The 25 up-
state cities studied include Al-
bany, Amsterdam, Auburn, Bing-
hamton, Buffalo, Corning, Elmira,
Geneva, Glens Falls, Gloversville,
Ithaca, Jamestown, Lockport, Ni-
agara Falls, Oswego, Plattsburgh,
Poughkeepsie, Rochester, Rock-
Jand County, Rome, Schenectady,
Syracuse, Troy, Utica and Water-
town.

What makes this comparison
even more striking is the fact that
numbers of localities, cities, towns
and counties pay prevailing wages
for this type of work while the
rich State of New York must
stumble behind.

The ‘Seasonal’ Question

But work in private industry is

seasonal, it may be argued. Work

re round,

study of unemployment among
construction workers in New York

A FAIR WAGE FOR CRAFTSMEN
IN NEW YORK STATE SERVICE

Salary Committee shows that in
1949, construction workers drew
unemployment insurance for an
average period of 8.8 weeks, Dur-
ing periods of layoff, construction
workers draw. unemployment in-
surance or find other private
work.

Unemployed seasonal State
workers do not enjoy the advan-

tage of unemployment insurance |

rotection.- The State legislature
as twice passed such protective

coverage at Association request |

and the Governor has twice ve-
toed these bills,

On the other hand, most con-
struction workers get in quite a
good deal of overtime at _time-
and-a-half or double-time, If sea-
sonality cuts into the annual
earnings of construction workers,
overtime payments boost them.
Overtime payment in State service
is on @ straight hourly basis.

‘The Work-Week

Purthermore, most construction
workers are on a basic work week
of 30 to 35 hours while State em-

loyees have to put in a 40-hour
asic work week. Carpenters,

‘C| painters, roofers and laborers in

private industry have a basic 7-
hour day while electricians, brick-
layers, plumbers, plasterers work
@ basic 6-hour day. A study of av-
erage weekly hours worked in the
New York State construction in-
dustry by all types of workers dur-
ing 1949 showed overtime employ-
ment in every single month of last
year with the exception of No-

vember.
Fair Rate of Pay
What would be a fair
pay for craftsmen and
workers in State service?

rate of
related

In order to answer this ques-|™

tion, we must. convert the hourly
rates of pay into actual annual
earnings, In making this change-
over, the factors mentioned above
must be kept in mind such as the
work week, seasonal unemploy-
ment and overtime.

Taking these factors into con-
sideration gives a final result
shown in the table below, Salaries
given in this table are mid-point
(median) salaries. New York State
salaries are presented in two
ways: on a 40-hour and a 44-hour
week basis, Private upstate indus-
try salaries are also shown in two
ways: on a straight 30- or 35-hour
work week basis and a 2,000-hour
yearly basis, The 2,000-hour sal-
ary is adjusted for seasonal layoff,

—

» and overtime payments
over and above the normal work
week. (The technical details will
be found in the footnote at the
end of the article.)

Obviously, State wage scales for
craftsmen, maintenance men and
related workers must be over=
hauled. This need re-emphasizes
again the basic need to revamp
State salary scales, This also lends
emphasis to the request of main= 47
a men for salary upgrad~
ing. ie

Two Alternatives

‘There are two alternatives in
setting a fair wage for craftsmen
in State service, The State should
either

1. Pay prevailing wages as many
localities do or

2, Pay an equivalent annual
wage, This salary range should
have a mid-point roughly equal
to the 2,000-hour private industry ;
column above,

Purthermore, really to insure

State Retirement System

ON THE FACE OF IT, the New
York State Employees Retirement
System looks like an actuary’s
dream, devised solely to confound |
the innocent and enrich the law-
yers, Members with the mathe-
matical and the actuarial concepts
of the proposed age-55 retirement |
and other liberalizing bills often
begin to wonder how the entire
thing was put together in the first
place.

Perhaps a look-see at the origins
might throw light on the work-|
ings of the System and reveal
more sharply some of the liberal-
izing effects of current proposed
legislation,

e present system was born
in 1921, fathered by a Joint State
Legislative Committee on Pensions
created three years earlier. This
committee was authorized to make
“an inquiry into the subject of
pensions for State and municipal
officers and employees... and to
report the result of its inquiry...
including such legislation as it
may deem advisable.”

Civil Service Employees As~
sociation is proud of the fact that
much of the actual work of the
Committee was done by members
of the Association,

The first thing the Committee
did was to analyze the existing
pension plans, What it found was
& disturbing hodge~ e.

No definite policy had been fol.
lowed by the municipalities in
tablishing pension systems, Ben:
fits varied widely, Funds were sup~

ing from full support by employees

to {ull support by government,

the municipalities to three classes
of employees, firemen, policemen
and teachers.

Pension plans for State em-
ployees were equally chaotic. Five
groups of employees were covered:
teachers, hospital, prison, State
banking department and Supreme
Court employees. Each plan was
@ separate unit. Funds were sup-
ported also in a variety of ways.
The amount of State liabilities
was unknown,

The NYC System

New York City had the oldest
and largest pension systems in
the State. These systems, covering
teachers, firemen, policemen, hos-
pital and general employees had
developed independently and hap-

janardly.

hi ¥

The. retirement system for
teachers was declared bankrupt
and was finally reorganized on a
sound acturial basis. Others were
headed towards bankruptcy.

The Association concentrated
on the defects of the New York
City systems since the majority of
the local systems were patterned
on the New York City systems,
and most showed the same char-
acteristics, In developing its own
principles for the State Retire-
ment system, the committee, in
great part, reacted against the
tragle experience of the New York
City systems.

In summary, the NYC systems
had the following defects:

1, The plans were launched

without knowledge of ulti-
mate cost.

2. The plans were operated
without observance of actuar~

. al principles, ies
3, No provision was made for

State made by the Association'sunemployment insurance p&y- adding 10% 10 the 40-hour werk salarien,
e |
‘ S
Assn. Helped to Create Coverage was generally imited in the accumulation of adequate

reserves,
No definite limit was set in
some plans for appropriations
to be made by the city. This
was making the tax burden
unreasonable and taxpayers
could not be expected to carry
the loud indefinitely,
Where income to be provided
by the city was definitely
limited, the funds were head~
ing towards bankruptcy,
The bulk of the income of
the funds was derived from
miscellaneous sources, Con=
sequently, the public failed to
realize the actual extent of
the city’s support. .
The funds were inequitable
both as between groups of
employees and individual em=
ployees, Contributions of one
employee were used to provide
the benefits for another,

‘The committee then came up
with the following principles:

Most important to the success-

ful operation of a pension and
retirement system are the princi-=
ples ovserved in its Anancial prow
visions,

The cost of the plan to the State
must be continually re-estimated,
The accruing liabilities of the
State should be provided for as
they incur. In other words, the
State should annually meet the
cost of the retirement allowances
earned by the service rendered
in the year,

Periodic valuations of the funds
and readjustment of contributions
should be made continually to in~
sure the continued adequacy of the
inoome and, henoe, the solvency

Service lists were combed, At the
end of the week, all-out calls
were still being made for Sheet
Metal Workers, Shipwrights and
Boat Builders. For the time being
all other categories had been
found; this included all the usual
skilled titles except Machinist, of
which there was an overabund-
ance,

‘The Navy Yard work came to
meet the stepped-up need for con-
struction and conversion. Private
shipyards got busy. The Maritime
Administration got twelve troop
transports and twenty cargo ships
out of the “moth ball” fleet, ant
the yards of Bethlehem, Todd and
Brewer Dry Dock got the assign-
ment of refurnishing the cargo
vessels,

Todd at Brooklyn reported later
in the week that old hands were
being called back, and new hands

Reduced Postal

The reduction in in the number
of collections by the Post Office
Department requires, in much of
the Metropolitan District at least,
that mail be deposited in the let-
ter-drop boxes by 8:30 P.M. if
they are to bear a postmark of
the same day. Otherwise they will
be picked up and postmarked the
next day.

In applying for New York State
exams, since a postmark as of the
closing date is acceptable, failure
to mail in by 8:30 P.M. may freeze
a candidate out of a test, Pormer-
ly mail was collected until 10:30
or 11 P.M.

Must Actually Get There on Time

NYC doesn't receive applica-
tions by mail, so reduction in the
postal collection hours has no ef-
fect there, but the Federal gov-
ernment allows making applica-
tions by mail. However, the post-
mark is immaterial in Federal ap-
plications, The filled-out blanks
must be actually in the hands of
the proper Federal agency, usu-
ally the Second Regional Office of
the U. 8. Civil Service Commis~-
sion, by the closing date, The ad-
dress of the Second Regional Of-
fice is 641 Washington Street, New
York 14, N. ¥., or the Commission
office at Washington 25, D. C.,
and the close of the business day
occurs at 5 P.M. It doesn't matter
how the application gets there,
whether by mail, in person, or by
representative or messenger, 80
long as it gets there on time,

The fact that the Federal rule
is different has caused applica-
tions to arrive too late, since pros-
pective candidates relied on the
postmark being sufficient, even
prior to the curtailment of coliec-
tion time.

Send Applications Where Directed

A Federal application sometimes
should be sent to Washington,
D. C., instead of to the Regional
Office, but if the candidate sends
it to the Regional Office, and it
gets there on time, that office for-
wards it to the central office,
which honors the timely receipt
at the regional office, In other in-
stances the filled-out application
should be sent to a Local Board of
Civil Service Examiners, but if
sent to the Regional Office, the

While first and second class post

TO MEET expected increases in
the demand for nurses, the Nurse
Practice Act Committee of the
New York State Nurses Associa-
tion has announced that it will

urge the 1951 State Legislature to

liberalize the conditions under
which out-of-state nurses may
practice in New York State.
Meanwhile young girls are being
urged to give consideration to
nursing as a career, An excellent
Pamphlet has just been issued by
the Committee on Careers in Nurs-
ing titled “Nursing — Career With
a Puture for You" that explains
just how to get into the profession.
According to this booklet, the three
requisites are the liking of people,
good judgment and an average
amount of good health, Other es-

PART-TIME JOBS
IN RETAILING

DEPARTMENT STORES are
very much in the market for part-
time workers. With regular em-
ployees on vacation, and retail
sales spurred by the fear of war
shortages far ahead of last year,
& number of stores have put up
the help-wanted flag.

Typical is NYC Gimbel's, where
experience is preferred but not
necessary for part-time sales jobs.
Women and college men are of-
fered three job shifts: a) five days
between 11 A.M. and.5 P.M.; b)
three days between 9 AM. and
6 P.M.; c) 5-9 P.M. Thursday and
9 AM. to 6 P.M. Saturday. Appli-

WHAT EVERY EMPLOYEE SHOULD KNOW

By THEODORE BECKER

UNDER THE PROVISIONS ot
the State Constitution, disabled
veterans whose disabilities are
recognized by the Veterans Admin-
istration as war-incurred are en-
titled to absolute preference (until
January 1, 1951) and appointment
and promotion over non-disabled
veterans and non-veterans. From |S)
1946 to 1948 civil service commis-
sions applied the preference to
veterans whose disabilities were
rated at less than 10%—known as
zero per cent disability cases—on
the theory that suclt disabilities
actually existed, although too
slight to oh ad the veteran's
earning capaci

In 1948, the the ‘highest court in the
State, the Court of Appeals, de-
cided that “zero percenters” were
not entitled to disabled veterans

law suits for reinstatement could

been to stand pat on past appoint-

ruling as to future appointments.

Accordingly, the Court of Ap-

for the lower courts to summarily

instead, that the petitioners could
properly obtain an order directing
the removal of the zero percenters

Board Rejects Bill

The NYC Board of Estimate
has turned down a bill, previously
Passed by the City Council, which
would have exempted employees
of the City Planning Commission
from the Lyons Residence Law.
Mayor O'Dwyer had said that he
wanted the finest planning talent
in the United States for a group
of top planning positions under
civil service in the department.
‘The Lyons Residence Law restricts
City positions to those living with-
in the confines of the five bor-
oughs three years or more. The
law has been frequently attacked,

war, were unable to find homes
in the City and had to move to

gram said: “The resentment of |

This mass meeting and other

selves with basic NYC municipal

At least some moderate percent-
fge of the questions in this test

pense budget.

The tax rate on real estate is)
limited (except for debt service!

tion of taxable real estate as de-
termined by the last assessment
rolls and the four preceding rolls.

mills-per dollar of valuation.

ing fund and a schedule of ap-
Propriations required for debt
service.

sessed valuation of taxable real
Property for the ensuing fiscal

Between April 7 and 17, pub-
lic hearings on the Executive Bud~
get are required to be held by
the Board of Estimate. The Board

add items, except fixed sums re-
quired by law.

later than April 27, the Board of
Estimate is required to adopt a

a budget by April 27, the Execu-
tive Budget is deemed to have
been adopted.

Not Inter than May 1, the bud-
get as adopted by the Board of
Estimate is required to be certi-
fied by the Mayor and submitted

budget as finally adopted, shall
be certified by the Mayor, Comp-
troller and City Clerk, and filed

Besides taxes and budget, some
questions may be expected to deal
with municipal functions, and of
course quite a few with the laws
under which the Department of
Welfare operates,

The types of relief should be
known by the candidate. Im-
portant among them are home
relief, old-age relief, aid to the
blind and aid to dependent chil-

dren,

Also, there has been in existence
for the past few weeks, “work
relief.”

City Assume
HIP Payments

John J. DeLury, president of
the Joint Board of Sanitation Lo-
cals, AFL, has asked that the NYC
government continue to finance
its share of the Hospital Insur-
ance Plan for City employees en-
tering the military services.

He pointed out that the present
plan works a hardship on these
men. Currently, the City pays half
and the employee pays half. How-
ever, when an employee leaves for
military service, he is asked to
sign a contract for health insur-
ance transferring the full burden
to himself. Thus, says Mr, Debury,
“the public employees reporting
for military service may retain the
same benefits for himself and his
family, but at double the cost.”

Clerks Lose Plea

‘The NYC Civil Service Com-
mission has informed Patrick J,
Brady of the Government and
Civic Employees Organizing Com-
mittee, CIO, that it will not hold
a test for promotion of the Grade
2 clerks in the Tax Department
to junior assessor. An open-com-
petitive test is to be held. The
Commission cited its advertise-
ment of the previous Junior As-
sessor test, in which it had stated

eligible for the next one unless
they met the open-competitive re-
quirements, These haye to do

with assessing experience. The
Commission holds that only in
that way can it provide suitable
junior assessors for promotion to
assessors.

The clerks say that the junior
assessors don't do any assessing.
They accompany assessors on in,
spection trips and perform cleri-
cal duties, hence they say the
actual assessing experience is un-
necessary, Also they point out
that with no opportunity for pro-
motion to junior assessor they're
up against a dead end,

“The Commission does not in-
tend,” wrote Secretary Frank A,
Schaefer, “to change its policy.
Tt is felt that further discussion
of this matter is of no avail,”

SIMILAR NAMES of civil serv-
ice officials are no longer scarce.

Drive Made
By AFL Group

A drive for members among
white collar civil service em-
ployees is reported to be quietly
making headway in three City
departments — Sanitation, Hospi-
tals, and Health.

The report states that white
collar employees in the Sanita-
|tion Department—including in-
spectors, clerks, business machine
operators, stenographers and
typists, doctors, nurses—are 100
percent organized in the Clerical
Union, local 140, AFL. Now the
union is driving a wedge into two
additional departments. Eight
City hospitals are already “or-
ganized", says Herbert Bauch,
president of the Union. By “or-
ganized” he means that units are
functioning there.

The Health Department is
proving a tougher “nut,” the APL
union admits, with opposition
coming from the CIO and the
United Public Workers.

Seek Complete Organization

Objective of the Clerical Union
is to organize all City white col-
lar workers, However, inevitably
there will be conflicts, since other
City employee organizations, in-
cluding other AFL groups, also
organize white collar people. “We'll
deal with that problem when we
come to it,” Mr. Bauch states,

The Clerical Union is based in
the Sanitation Department, and
is part of the Joint Board of
Sanitation Locals. Mr. John De-
Lury heads the Board,

One of the major current ob-
jectives of the Clerical Union is
an increment system all the way
up and down the line, However,
it asks that the present limited
McCarthy Increment law be ex-
tended in the meantime, The
union has also had conferences

partment conce: promotions
