State Parking Committee
May Be Named to Solve
Albany Auto Situation
“SANY, July 15 — State of-
ficlals are studying suggestions
offered by state employees on ways
to alleviate tight parking condi-
tions around state buildings in
this Capitol City.
Heading the list of proposals,
now under consideration by Bud-
get and Public Works officials, ts
creation of a state parking com-~
mittea to be appointed by Gover-
nor Harriman.
A memorandum on the situa~
tion will be submitted to the Gov-
ernor. It may also include pro-
posals to build multt-tler parking
facilities near the Capitol and the
use of chartered buses to ferry
workers from parking lots on the
outskirts of the city to thelr place
of work.
The suggestion the Governor ap-
point a committee to study the
parking situation was made at a
recent meeting between a delega-
tion of atate employees and Bud-
get and Public Works officials,
Aldes At Meeting
At the meeting were Carl W.
Larson, at architect; John
Tiesler, chief of engineering unit
in Budget Division and Howard
Miller, deputy budget director
Representing state workers were
Joseph McGinnis, Public Works;
Russell Taylor, of the Civil Ser-
vice Employees Association; Eu-
wene Halsey Jr,, State Association

If « state parking committee Is
established, \t was urged that the
“initial emphasis” be on the acute
parking situation in Albany, but
that the committee eventually
could be expanded to cooperate
with other cities on a statewide
basis.

Decision
ALBANY, July 15—John F. Pow-
ers, President of the Civil Service
Employees Association, Inc., stat-
ed today that the Employees’
Association was gratified that the
Attorney General in a recent opin-
fon, on an amendment to the Re-
tlrement and Social Security Law,
| which was passed at the Extraord-
inary Session of the Legislature
| 1957, had eased the way for those
| Spproaching retirement age and
|retirees of the public service to
participate in the benefits of the
Old Age and Survivors Insurance.
CSEA Sought Approval
| The Employees’ Associaton, said
Mr. Powe! has been interested
in this subject for somo time.
| After the Social Security Bill had
passed at the last regular session
c* the Legislature, we made the
suggestion that there be a suapen-
sion of the mandatory retirement
provision to enable those aph
proaching retirement age to part-
icipate in the Social Security bene-
fita, The recent legislation, con-
tinued Mr, Powers, passed at the
Extraordinary Session permits the
suspension of the mandatory re-
Urement provisions until June 30,
1958. Under this legislation it pro-
bably will be possible for all mem-
bers of the Retirement System ap-
proaching retirement age, to be
participants in the Social Security
benefits, if they so desire.
An Added Boon
“However,” continued Mr. Pow-
ers, “the Attorney General's Opin-
fon has given an added boon to
those employees who have retired
from the service of the State of
New York. If they so desire, and
are over age 70 they can return
to the State Service as fully em-
ployed employees and gain the
benefita of Social Security cov-
erage. Of course it Is understood
that while they are regularly em-
ployed by the State of New York

they retired from the State serv-

ALBANY, July 15—An opinion
by Attorney General Louis J
Lefkowitz upholds the protest of
State employees, most of whom
work In Institutions, against re-
duction in take-home pay result-
ing from reduction in hours
Mr. Lefkowitz construed two
laws passed by the State Legis-
lature, one last year, the other
this yoar.
Under the 1956 law salary ad-
justments were paid to State em-
ployees whose hours were reduced
from 44 to 40 hours, or from 48
to 44. Payment of these adjust~
ments has been continued during
the present 1957-1958 fiscal year
where the affected employers con-
tinued to work either 40 or 44
hours
CSEA Upheld
An inquiry from the State Civil
Service Commission indicated that
on the reduction of hours this
year from 44 to 42 the Commis-
sion and the Department of Audit
and Control have construed the
laws as requiring discontinuance |
been paid up to the time they
took effect, and used a computa-
ion for a new adjustment that
would not be as favorable to the
employees.
The Civil Service Employees
Association disputed this unfav-
orable interpretation.
Mr, Lefkowits ruled that pay-
rosits of the adjustments com~-
puted last year should be continu-
ed during the 1957-58 fiscal year
in both types of cases, and that
where working hours were reduced |
from 44 to 42 this year @ further |
adjustment also should be com-
puted and paid.
The Attorney General stuted
that the result which he reach-
ed nccorded fair and equitable
treatment as between an employee
whose working hours were re-
duced last year from 48 to 44, and
this year from 44 to 42, and em- |
ployees whose working hours |
were reduced last year from 44 to
40.

ment of last year's adjustment, |

| Lefkowitz Opinion
Welcomed By Assn.
John F. Powers, president of
The Civil Service Employees As-
sociation, stated that the Associa-
tion welcomed the clarification by
Attorney General Lefkowitz.
“So much confusion attended
the early interpretation of the
legislation passed at the regular
session that reduced the work
of institution employees
from 44 to 42 that an officla} tn-
terpretation of Its effect is wel-
come,” sald Mr. Powers, “Some
employees contended they lost
money by the interpretation of
the law which the administrative
authorities made when tt went
into effect, The no-loss-in-take-
home-pay provision of the bill,
they felt, did not materialize into
® tangible benefit. The opinion of
the Attorney General guarantees
that the adjustment made in 1956,
when the work hours were reduced
hours
|from 48 to 44, will be added to
the adjustment due the employee
by the 1957 work hour reduction
from 44 to 42 hours per week, We
estimate there will be several
thousands of the Institutional em~
ployees directly affected by the
opinion of the Attorney General.”

Mr. Lefkowitz rendered the
opinion in a letter to Deputy
Comptrolier William M. Girdon,
who administers the State Em-

The Three Ma!n Points
The main points of the opin-
jon:
1, Pensioners may return to
State or local government service
long enough to qualify for Social |
Security coverage.
2. Present employees may even
Continue in service beyond that
time, by obtaining an extension

The compulsory retirement age
varies for different systems. In

NYC Teachers’ Case
“In the case of the New York
City Teachers’ Retirement System,
subdivision 2 of section B20-41.0
of the Administrative Code of the
City of New York, as amended by
chapter 264 of the Laws of 1949,
| provides a single date upon which
[mandatory retirements are
take effect each year. This date
is August 31, which coincides with
the end of the school year. The ob-
vious purpose here is to prevent
the interruption of a teacher's
service during # school year by
® forced retirement. Thus, the
policy of the law is to have all
such retirements become effective
LOUIS J. LEFKOWIT2
the legislative history of section
113-a, including the Governor's
call which provided for the con-
sideration of the subject matter
at the Extraordinary Session, it is
quite apparent that such section
was designed to eliminate man-
datory retirements that otherwise
would be required to become ef-
fective on August 31, 1957, and to
move that date forward to August
31, 1958. Thix construction must
result from a reading of section
B20-41.0 of the Administrative
Code with section 113-a of the
Retirement and Social Security
Law.
“In the case of the New York
State Employees’ Retirement Sys-
tem, however, mandatory retire-
ments normally became effective
on the first day of the calendar
| month next succeeding the attain-
ment of age 70. Thus, the policy
in this law is to have mandatory
retirements become effective on
the first day of cach month dur-
ing a year. Reading this require-
ment together with section 113-a
and in light of the expressed in-
tention in such Intter section, ft
eligibility for Social Security bene~
fits is attained, with June 430,
1968 the outside date for such
suspensions,

So, will you all raise your

Averell Harriman urged all State

system to the permanent system
as smooth as possible, I urge every
State employee residing in Ne

Editor, The Léader:
»New York City is to be con-
gratulated on its diligence in get-

In the beginning it began to
look as ff retroactive quarters

printion for the purpose was in-
cluded in the budget. However, as
soon as the special session of the
State Legislative passed an en-
abling act whereby the City could
issue bonds for the purpose, the
City Administration lost no time
in voling the necessary resolution
for retroactivity end establishing

Service Commission to raise salaries directly, to meet the
needs of the service, and provides a contingency fund.
Thus the U.S, is able to act, and does act, more quickly
than do State and local governments, Naturally, there must
be some means for any leyel of government to cope with
such a difficulty, but the less time wasted, the better,
jclerk and the like,
| siderable total amount of money,
{ Heartening Example
New York City has decided to offer to candidates
the minimum of a grade one step higher, or a higher |
increment step of present grade in other cases, along
the same lines on which the Federal and State govern-
ments operate. Most recently Personnel Director Joseph
Schechter has recomended the first increment step for
positions with the Youth Board. That Board performs
important functions, one of which is the prevention and
cure of juvenile delinquency. It would be shocking to
think that any government would fail to staff its operating
Agency properly, and thus contribute perhaps toward the
gpread or perpetuation of juvenile deliqueney, It is always
a case of public service suffering when public servants
are not of the highest calibre and when an agency is
understaffed,
Youth Board jobs, from program review assistant up to
assistant director, are to have higher starting pay, ranging
from $4,790 for the lowest to $7,400 for the highest of
the positions affected.

ff More Speed, Better Service
New York City can act falrly fast in such matters, |
if it will, while the State would have to take more time,
because of the methods of attainment by which the respec-
tive Civil Service Commissions are governed, and the geo-~
graphical aspects of the State problem. In New York City
the Board of Estimate makes decisions on pay, but almost
invariably follows the joint recommendations of the Per-
sonnel Director and the Budget Director. The Board meets
usually every two weeks, so no serious delay need result,
but the recommendations for coping with exigencies of
a hiving problem have to spring up fast, or the public
service suffers. This is a suggestion to those who have
the recommendatory powers to be even more alert.

Exclusive Bargaining Raises Issues
INSTITUTING exclusive collective bargaining for New York City
employees. would be no easy undertaking, at best, both because of
the complex -overnmental structure and the disposition of employee
groups to seek what would benefit them, rather than take a stand
strictly on the merits.
The Department of Labor, which recommends that exciusive col«
lective bargaining be made the new policy, says: “For its part, the
City appears to be ready to make the move.” The Department admits
the difficulties and the highly experimental nature of the proposed
undertaking,
If the Labor Department can devise and execute a plan for
erclisive collective bargaining that would attain all the goals that it
conscientiously envisions, It would be accomplishing a great deal. As
yet it has not proposed any detoiled plan, but rather recommended
broad policy. It would postpone decision on crucial aspects until
enotigh experience hax been gained, However, any plan so largely
Jacking in detall necessarily evades the very problems that It seeks
to solve. A detailed plan would no doubt provoke much adverse
criticism that a broad statement, of policy escapes. The plan as
Propased In “Report on # Program) of Labor Relations for New York
Cla Ehaployees” is wide open at both ends and right down the middle,
PREP IET ate
'
Start Urged Now
‘The Labor Department did carefully research the field with-
out attempting to exhaust it. Its impartial, if wordy, factual report
cites the prevalence of exclusive collective bargaining in industry, and
the growth of the practice in government. Trade unionism halla ex-
clusive collective bargaining in industry; even in government where
practicable, if otherwise dangerous loopholes are pligced up.
The report admits that !t ts too early to seek State legislation,
that more experience ix needed, but argues for getting started on a
broad scale now. Labor relations generally were canvassed and reports
made in monographs previously issued,
‘The Labor Department 1tself has had only two years’ experience
with the operation of the Mayor's interim Inbor relations program.
Eyen that short experience has shown some flaws, it says, principally
that o numerically dominant union Is deprived of some of its rightful
prerogatives by other organizations, even undermined, Already two
employee organizations, one of them a powerful union, are opposed
to the exclusive bargaining recommendations as made in the report,
But There Is No Peace
The stated ultimate object ts to have a labor relations program
for employees of local governments, and by inference State govern-
ment, enacted by the State Legislature, embodying the principle of
exclisivencss.
Besides lacking in necessary details, the plan tnkes much for
employed in private industry, at | granted. The report assumes, from statements by union leaders, that

dissension.
In New York City two unions are battling for citywide supremacy
and are on opposite sides on this subject. Thus the plan has produced
strife even before it has come anywhere near being put into operation,
It ts not necessary to assume that exclusive bargaining tn New
York City is impossible, It is unconvincing to find tough problems
evaded, by clothing the Commissioner of Labor with authority to
make decisions, case by case, as the special circumstances arise, The
Labor Commissioner would choose the method of determining the
majority union, the Labor Commissioner would be the referee in cases
where collective bargaining efforts have produced only an impasse,
even could assume jurisdiction in any case; the Labor Commissioner
would decide the boundaries of a bargaining unit; and the Labor
Commissioner would render opinions construing and interpreting the
hew labor relations executive order, all subject to the approval of the
Mayor.
No distillation of practice can be expeeted from scattered and
varlegated grains of philosophical concept. Experiment could be
conducted on some pilot program before anything so pretentious as
citywide exclusive bargaining is attempted. That is what was done
with the program estublished by the interim order, The Department
of Sanitation was the proving ground. Instead, the plan as proposed
not only suggests that exciusive bargaining be attempted citywide in
those branches of government directlly under the Mayor, but that
the associated agencl o that finally @ uniform policy
would prevail for all municipal employees, Looking into the future,
even a standard statewide policy is envisioned, York City setting

The report cites the 35,000 employees of the Department of Hos-
pitals among the 90,000 in the Mayor's departments. It recommends
that exclusive bargaining, in general, be made departmentwide, or
seems best in the opinion of the
Labor Commissioner
It would be intersting to discover how the Labor Department
would deal with the problem in the Department of Hospitals. Many
employees in that department are in jobs that carry citywide titles,
¥, 2-to-1, ina
tally of checkoff cards, a5 against its sole real competitor. The report
states there are 24 unions in the department. There are principally
the two. A union is something other than an employee organization;
In some hospitals one or

? Would the union that had the
the other union swamped the other
went. Would the over
mental collective bargain
majority in one hospital get exclu rgnining rights for all the
employees of that al, so that both unions would be able to
speak for institutional aldes, dietary aides, housekeeping aides, main-
tenancemen, nurses, clerks, motor ¥ operators? The report
| indicates that bargaining units would not be established by titles, but
by department or units of a department, to avoid multiplicity of
representation, but separate recognition on a hospital-by-hospital
basis would continue plural representation.
One of the frank objectives of the Department of Labor is to
have City officials deal with one union instead of with many unions,
so far as practical, a consummation the officials must devoutly wish.
Also, though inferentially, the plan proposes that the number of
} officials with whom a union need deal shall be reduced. without
denying the separate authority of the Mayor, the Board of Estimate,
the Council, the Budget Director, the Personne! Director, and the
Civil Service Commissions, both City and State. How the Labor
Commissioner would settle differences on economic aspects, on civil
service law, and on legislation generally, ts not clear, except that in
these areas the report does not pretend that the Latfor Commissioner's
authority is anything more than recommendatory, It is of course true
that his good offices could be used in the future, as they have been
in the past, to help smoothe over some difficulties. The only effect
the proposed new plan would have on these officials whose own sphere
of jurisdiction is sharply defined would be excuse them, too, from
hh So many different employee organizations, but
they might not welcome that, for these is an alr of attempted usurba-
tion of their own powers about It
Patrick Henry once observed that he knew no way of judging
the future except from experience, but he might have added that
even experience is not infallible because events are like fingerprints

On June 25, the Conference del- |
egates met with Commissioner Me-
Hugh and his staff to review a]
number of employee problems
which was prepared by the Con-

missioner in advance,
‘The question of installation of |

Is hopeful that the vacancies
which exist and the new positions
created can be filled at an early

State Attendance Rules which
took effect on January 3rd was
discussed, Apprrently, in certain
correctional institutions practi-
cally nll requests for pbrsonal |
leave ore being denied, some on
the basis that insufficient help to
cover work schedules requires de-
nial of personal leave. In sonte In- |
stitutions, unnecessary demands |
for the reasons for personal leave
are made Commissioner McHugh
has assured that these matters
will be checked into at the earliest
date with a view to assuring fair
treatment under the personal
leave arrangement
Protest Lodged
‘The delegates protested the pro-
vision of the new Attendance
Rules which removes the guaran-
tee thot time off in lieu of holi-
days which fall on their days off
will be given. The new
moves such guarantee relative to
holidays which fall on Saturdays.
The Correction Officers work on
Saturdays, Sundays, holidays, and
around the clock with no extra
time for overtime, or no shift pre-
mium pay for night or holiday
work, and they feel that they
should not lose any holidays which
fall on their days off.
The Correction Conference and
CSEA will jointly appeal to the
Civil Service Commission for am-
endment of the State Attendance
Rules to reinstate the guarantee of
time off for holidays which fall on
the employees’ days off duty, The
Correction Conference has request~
ed the restoration of the four-
week vacation period for new em-
ployees In line with an appeal
made by CSEA to the State Civil
Service Commisson several weeks
ago.
The Correction Conference

the Conference feels there ts in-
sufficient number of positions of

tra pay. They requested that six
hew positions of Supervisor be es-
tablished to give proper coverage,
and Commissioner McHugh ad-
vised that he would look into this
situation
Uniform Rate Sought
The Conference requested that
the interest rate on contributions
to the State Retirement System be
made uniform between employees
who were members of the System
prior to 1943 and thereafter, A
resolution will be submitted to
CSEA urging that the necessafy
legislation be prepared and intro-

The 12-Point Health Plan
WASHINGTON, July 15 — The following is a digest of the Elsen-
hower Administration's 12-point health insurance program:
1, ‘The pian is a com; sive one which includes Government
contributions and payroll tions for both basic health insurance
and major health insurance,
2. With few exceptions, all Federal employees and gst Ad ot
the Distriet of Columbia Government would be eligible to participa
providee they enrolled for both basic and major medical insurance
The U. S. Civil Service Commission estimated that 90
percent of eligible employees—some1,800,000—would elect coverage
under the plan,
3. The Government would contribute approximately one-third
of the cost of the basic insurance and one-third of the cost of the
major medical, with the employee in each case paying the balance
through payroll deductions.
4. The basic health insurance plan would be on ® “Jocal option”
basis. That is, each eligible employee would be free to choose any
locally available group plan which meets minimum standards set up
in the law for the benefit and protection of employees. The plan
chosen could range from a minimum hospitalization plan to a more
comprehensive one providing payment for hospitalization, surgical
services, and medical expenses. The major medical insurance would
supplement these individually selected pians and “provide financial
protection to the employee and his family tn cases of serious or
prolonged fines.
5, Major medical insurance benefits, to be provided under a
uniform nationwide plan, would pick up at about where the employ-
ee’s basic health insurance coverage leaves off and pay 75 percent
of the balance up to x high dollar limit.
6. As in Inst year’s proposal, the major medical plan would
place primary emphasis on payment for physicians, private nurses,
and drugs and medicines—medical goods and services which most
40| basic plans have not found it feasible to cover adequately, Approxi-
mately soventy cents of the major médical claim dollar would be
spent in this way, with the other thirty cents divided between sup-
plemental hospitalization and surgery,
7, The major medical coverage would be continued at no cost
to the employee after he reaches 65 years of age or retires, but the
Government would no longer contribute to its cost,
8. Government contributions for basic health insurance and for
major medical insurance would total an estimated $64,500,000 a year.
Tt would be broken down into $51,400,000 going toward payment of
the cost of the employees’ basic health {nsurance and $13,100,000
toward payment of the major medical insurance.
9 Specifically, for basic health insurance, the Government
would pay one-third of the premium up to 50 cents biweekly if the
employee is insured for himself alone, or up to $1.50 biweekly if he
\s insured for himself and one or more dependents, For major
medical insurance, the Government would pay a flat one-third
amounting to 121) cents biweekly for single employees and 37%4
cents biweekly for employees with dependents. The employee would
pay 25 cents biweekly if insured for himself alone, or 75 cents
biweekly If insured for himself and one or more dependents,
10, The Government contributions proposed would mean that
any employee who now has adequate hospital and surgical coverage
would be paying Iss for the combined basic and major medical
coverage than he is at present for just basic,
11, Under the plan, major medical insurance would pay:
4. Seventy-five percent of the covered hospital expenses after
excluding those incurred in the first 70 days of hospitalization. It
is anticipated that basic health plans which now offer less than 70
days of hospitalization will very shortly tnorease their number-of-
* benefits to 70 at only 4 nominal increase in total cost. This
would mesh with the hospitalization provided by the major medical
plan, and would be 1 natural extension of a trend to increase basic
hospitalization protection which ts already evidont-
b. Seventy-five percent of all covered medical costs not paid for
by the employee's basic health insurance, except
(1) the first $100 0 fsuch costs, and
(2) surgical charges up to an amount set by the Commission for the
particular operation, If the surgical charge covered by the employ-
ee’s basic health insurane is less than the amount sot. by the Com-
mission for the particular operation, the employee will haye to pay
the difference, but the basic health plan of most employees will
cover this set amount,
12. The Commission would establish local schedules of charges
for surgical operations—a set charge for each surgical operation and
for each section of the country. Thus, a dollar amount would be set
fr an appendectomy, @ tonsillectomy, a hernia operation, etc. In each
geographical area.
The major medical plan, after excluding this set charge, would
pay 75 percent of surgical and other medicai costs in excess of the
$100 deductible. The benefits of the employce’s basic plan would not,
of course, be duplicated by the major medical pian. Included in
covered medical costs would be doctors’ fees for home and office
visits, ax well as in the hospital; charges made by special nurses;
drugs and medicines; ambulance service; rental of costly applianges
such as tron lungs; and many other expenses,
13. Benefits payable under the major medical provisions of the
plan would be limited to a lifetime maximum of $10,000 and a cal-
endar-year maximum of $5,000 for the insured employee or retired
worker and each coyered dependent, After $1,000 in benefits had been
pald for any covered individual, application could be made for re-
instatement of his $10,000 maximum provided their was satisfactory
evidence of complete recovery and the application was made before
the end of the calendar year in which the insured employee or
retired worker reached his 65th birthday. If at the time the employee
‘or retired worker rached age 65 the maximum benefit for him or any
of his dependents had been reduced to less than $5,000, this maximum
would be restored to $5,000 without evidence of insurability,

Through favorable experience
—claims paid under the policy
being less than the amount an-
ticipated over the years—there
has been a resulting reduction
in the contribution required of
members, first in 1950 and then
again in 1956. Today, those age
29 and under contribute only
30¢ per month per thousand of
Life insurance with all mem-
bers up to age 50 contributing
in reduced amounts
As ® result, It 1s now possible
for a mombe’, age 34, male, to
secure, depending upon annual
wala wage, up to $7500 of
Group Life insurance at a pre-
mium of up to $3.75 per month
