Percentage Not
What It Seems

ALBANY, Feb, 18 — Jesse B,
McParland, President of the Civil
Service Employees Association, has
indicated concern over reports
that the Association, in its ne~
gotiations with the Director of
the Budget, was not aware of
the fact that the 6 per cent pay
increase proposed by tha Admin-
istration was calculated on base
salaries. This was not the case
since both parties were making
their calculations of costs and sal-
ary increase requirements on base
Salaries, All statistical figures for
State services are on base figures,
However, the Association was quite
conscious of the fact that base
salaries were those being con-
sidered and that due consideration
was given to the fact that a per-
centage increase over base salaries
looks like « greater figure than

John’s base salary is @ little
over $3,100 plus his emergency in-
crease, which brings his salary up
to $3,500. We'll talk about how
much money he makes, since this
is what buys the groceries and
the kid's shoes, Twice each month
he draws a check of $145.83. Since
he has a wife and two kids Uncle
Sam will nick his check for $7.00,
His check now amounts to $138.63

Legislative
Committee
Urges Action

ALBANY, Feb, 18—The twenty-
momber Legislative Committee of
the Civil Service Employees As-
sociation meeting on February 8,
expressed unanimous disappoint-
ment with the State's proposed
salary adjustment program for the
coming fiscal year,

The Committee supported fully
the Halpern-Preller-Wilcox bills
and called upon State employees to
contact the Governor and legis-
lators in strong appeals for ap-
proval of these measures.

State's Minimum Pension Plan Still Unrevealed!

ALBANY, Feb. 18—Public em-
Ployee groups and individuals who

worked hard to obtain al
by the State's voters last Novem~
ber of an increased pension

amendment were worried over the | mii

failure of the State Administra~
tion to introduce a timely bill
carrying out the expressed will of
the voters,

Up to LEADER presstime, no
bill had come from the admints-
tration.

The Civil Service Employees |}
Association drafted a measure for
introduction prior to 2 P.M. Tues~
day, February 19, the last moment
for the introduction of bills by
individual legisiators,

An inkling that a “tight budget”
policy was inducing Administra-
tion aloofness to any legisiation
implementing the
amendment was obtained by some

nsion experts as long ago as
last’ December. Louis Taylor, for-

mer secretary of the NYC Teach-|%

Comptroller J. Raymond McGov-
erp and came away with the idea
that Mr, McGovern was interested
in the project. Mr, Taylor was

‘Legislation Is Drafted to Abolish

State Civil Service Commission

ALBANY, Feb, 18 — Measures
Will be introduced this week in
the State Legisinture to alter rad~
ically the nature and functions of
the State Civil Service Commis-
sion. In fact, the bills propose
that the present Commission be
Abolished altogether, and that oth-
fr State personnel agencies be re-
organized.

Basic Faults

In sweeping recommendations,
the State's “Little Hoover Com~-
mission” — the Temporary State
Commission on Coordination of
Btate Activities—found that the
present setup is “antiquated and
inefficient.” Without Isying the
blame upon individuals, the Com-
mission, headed by Senator Wal-
ter J. Mahoney, found five basic
faults, These are:

1, Confusion concerning admin-
Istrative responsibilities.

2. Undue delays In decisions,

8. Inconsistency in actions and
Wecisions,

4. Hesitency in making
Bmending personnel policies.

5. Failure to provide expert
Jeadership in personnel policy.

Says the report: “It is accord-
Ingly recommended that the Civil
Service Commission be abolished
and « new pattern of organization
be established for the central per-
Bonnel asency.

Recommendations

In place of the Civil Service
Commission, the Mahoney group
recommends that: (1) a single
administrator be made head of

or

the department of Civil Service;
and (2) a part-time advisory
board be created to advise the ad-
ministrator, The report goes farth-
or. If it were not for constitutional

itrictions, it would urge that the
present Civil Service Department
become a part of the Executive
Department like the Division of
the Budget.

In addition, the Mahoney rec~
ommendations would:

1, Abolish the Personnel Council
now headed by Mary Goode
Krone. In its place would be set
up a Council of Personnel Man-
agement composed of the person-
nel directors of the various State
departments.

2. Create a Division of Personnel
Services, which would undertake
a variety of personnel functions,
including counseling, fuller use of
Personnel, training, promotion of
better personnel relations, employ-
ce transportation and housing
problems, recreation programs,
preparation of employee hand-
books, formulation of leave and
tardiness rules, It would seek ways
to use the services of handicapped
persons, perform work simplifica~
tion, work out ‘promotion and
transfer policies,

Personnel Relations

Tt has been erroneously reported
in some newspapers that the Per-
sonnel Relations Board would, un-
der the Mahoney proposals, be-
come a minor unit of the civil
service board, Actually, the mnat-

ter of personnel relations is still

Vet Counselors
Won't Lose Jobs

ALBANY, Feb, 18—The veterans
tounselors who feared they might
lose their Jobs on April 1 because
of a $452,850 siash in the budget
of the Division of Veterans Affairs
are to remain, after all,

James C, Hagerty, secretary to
Governor Thomas E. Dewey, an-
Hounced: “There will be no layoffs
of veterans counselors, but the
office will not fill vacancies.”

About 50 counselors would have
fost thelr jobs had not a supple-

mental
ranged,

As soon as the veteran coun-
selors jearned of the proposed
budget slash they used all their
influence, and got veterans or-
ganizations to support them, to
see that their jobs were not elimi-
nated. From all over the State
arguments converged on the Capi-
tol in opposition to the slash. Not
only the Governor but all the leg-
istators were importuned not to
abolish the jobs.

Alexander has won many citations for his
imber from private orgenizations, In 1949 be

was @ Herold J, Fisher Memoria! Award winner.

First Reaction
To, Recommendations

Immediate reaction of em-

Mahoney posal

week was: “Let's go slow!" The
report Incorporating the views
of the Commission on Coordin-
ation of State Activities has
not been widely distributed, and
its contents have not yet been
studied by many persons and
groups having a deep interest in
civil service and the merit -
tem. There was some react!
that no legislation ought to be
hastily passed, and that a re-
organization of State civil serv-
fice so drastic as that recom-
mended ought to be mont care-
fully considered before action
fs taken.

SheaPresents
Award to
SidAlexander

300 employees, their friends and
special guests attended the third
annual Psychiatric Institute Chap-
ter Dance, which also was the
occasion of honoring Sidney Alox~
ander, its chapter president,

Daniel Shea, personnel director,
Mental Hygiene Department, was
the main speaker of the evening,
presenting Mr. Alexander with his
third Merit Award for improving
services in the X-ray Dept. Mr,
Shea highlighted his remarks by

being studied. The Mahoney group
is clearly dissatisfied with the way
the Personne! Relations Board has
functioned up till now. It says,
however: “For the present it is
recommended that the Board be
continued for hearing complaints
and grievances which are not set~
tled at the department and agency
level. The grievance and complaint
machinery, however, is still under
study and will be treated more ex-
tensively in @ future report.”
Top Administrator

The top administrator proposed
under the plan would be called
State Personne! Commissioner, It
is recommended that he be ap-
pointed by the Governor with the
consent of the Senate and be re-
movable at the pleasure of the
Governor, The Mahoney group
turned down selection of this of-
ficer by civil service examination.
on the ground that “a competitive
examination is more likely to pro~
duce a technician than the kind
of broad-guage administrator on-
vistoned."

§-Year Terms
‘The proposed Civil Service
Board would consist of the top
commissioner and four part-time
Persons, no more than two being

members of one political party,
‘They would have 8-year staggered
terms, and would receive per diem

compensation.

Another recommendation Is that
and
Compensation Appeals Board be
available for appeals only when
other remedies available through
the Compensation and Classifica-
tion Division had first been ex-

the present Classification

hausted.
Advantages Cited

‘The Mahoney Commission cites
these advantages of the proposed

reorganization:

1, By establishing a board of
citizans outside the line of admin-
it pro-
vides a widened resource of ad-

istrative responsibilities,

vice and counsel,

2. It provides the efficiency of
& single head with principal re-

stressing: “For the third time the
Merit Award Board has recog-
nized his inventiveness and orig-
inality by another award which I
have the honor to present tonight,
Mr. Alexander was also the win-
ner of the Harold Pisher Memorial
Award in 1949, as an outstanding
State employee bringing nation
wide recognition to the State be-
cause of his work in the field of
X-ray, He was chosen from some
60,000 State employees.”
Delegates from the various in-
stitutions were represented, Among
those attending the dance were:
Solomon Bendet, president N.Y.C,
Chapter; Arnold Moses, president
Brooklyn State Hospital; John
Wallace, president Manhattan
State Hospital; Clyde Morris,
treasurer Metropolitan N. ¥, Con
ference; Harold Herastein, reg-
fonal attorney, C,S,E.A. and Joseph

nor & more effective instrument

surance" that merit and fitness

ALBANY, Feb, 18 — The State
Legislature has voted to extend
for another year the Loyalty Act
providing for transfer or dismissal
of employees in so-called “sensl«
tive” positions. The bill, which
originated with the administra
tion, {is sssured of Governor
Dewey's signature.

The measure provides that any
State employee may be transferred
or dismissed if his continued pres
ence in the Job would constitute
& danger to national security, The
accused employee has the right of
appeal to the head of his agency
and then to the Civil Service Com+
mission.

Before any position is declared
“sensitive” the Civil Service Com-
mission must rule on it upon
request from the department
head,

The measure was widely at~
tacked when introduced last year
but went through both houses of
the Legislature with relatively
Mttle comment last week. One As
semblyman told his colleagues he
had been assured by the Civil
Service Commission that a de~
tailed statement of charges would
be presented to any accused em-
ployee and that he would be given
the right of counsel

State Insurance Fund

THE ENTERTAINMENT Com-
mittee of the State Fund Chapter,
CSEA, ts working out its plans
for its forthcoming Spring Social
affair on April 25th, to be held at
the 165th Infantry Armory at
Lexington Avenue and 25th Street
where there are ample facilities to
make the function a real success.

The State Fund Bowlinr League
has @ pretty close contest going
on for the season's honors. Just
when it looks as If one team ts
going great guns, along comes
some other team to tighten up the
contest and take the forerunning
team down a few pegs, That's what
happened when the Orphans met
the Policyholders. The Policy-
holders were hot and couldn't be
stopped when they won 34% points
from the top team.

The Underwriters couldn't” do
anything wrong either, They beat
the Claims Sophs by 4 points. In-
dividual high score honors were
shared by Schiro of Payroll and
Marron of Safety, each having a
224 game. Ordinarily such a score
would be more than sufficient to
ensure top honors to the man who
made it, But even these top hon-
ors did not produce the high 3
game average. Hentley of Policy-
holders had a 3 game average of
206 and McClain of Cinims Srs.
and Sweeney of Underwriters each
had 3 game averages of 200, Those
are scores they can well be proud
of!

The team standings are now as
follows

Team
Orphans
Medical .
Claims Sr:
Personne! ,
Accounts
Payroll
Claima Soph.
Safety ..
Underwriters 23 28
Polleyholders ...17% 33%

Team highs for the evening go
to Policyholders with 876, to Safe-
ty with 904 and to Underwriters
with 903. That was an evening of
pretty good bowling generally!

Members of the Chapter join in
extending their congratulations to
the Anthony Iadanzas on the birth
of their second child, Andrew,

The Policyholders Department
extends a cordial welcome to its
new Sales Representatives, They
are William Sweeney formerly of
Payroll Audit and Milton Birne
and Minnie Pokodner formerly of

6% That
Isn't 6%

N his budget message, Governor Dewey indicated that

State employees would receive a raise of “approximately”
6 per cent. To prevent any misunderstanding when the em-
ployees start receiving their checks with the new increase
added, it should be made clear that the 6 per cent called for
by the administration bill now before the Legislature is 6
per cent of base salary, in addition to the existing emergency
compensation—but without the $300 minimum, :

The omission of the $300 minimum will have a consider-
able bearing on the amount of this year’s increase for many
State employees. The chart on Page 1 shows gross salaries
under Jast year’s emergency compensation, gross salaries
under the present administration bills, together with the in-
crease in dollars and percentage over last year's gross sal-
aries, This indicates clearly that the raise of those persons
earning less than $2,500 falls far short of the “approximate
6 per cent” called for in the budget message.

Most persons in Grades 1 and 2 will be affected by the
omission of the $300 minimum even if they have four years
of service. Grade 2 is the most populous single grade in the
service, containing about 25,000 positions. The chart shows
that persons in as high a place as Grade 7 will be affected
by greater or lesser amounts depending on their salary.

An employee at the entrance level of Grade 1 or 2 will
receive only a $40 raise in pay under the administration
proposal. The restoration of the $300 minimum would give
these people an additional pay increase of $70, and even this
would mean a raise in pay of only $110 over last year, A
person appointed after October 1, 1951, to Labor Grade 1
will receive then a 1 per cent increase in salary over last
year as the administration bill now stands,

The accumulated loss in income to the approximately
18,000 people who earn between $1,800 and $2,400 affected
by the omission of the minimum is staggering. It is lost in-
come that ean never be regained,

Every employee in Grade 1 of State service is affected
by the omission of the $300 minimum, and every employee
except those at their maximum in Grade 2 is affected by
Approximately 70 per cent of those in Grade 2 are below
their maximum and therefore are affected under the ad-
ministration proposal,

The table also shows that none of the 18,000 people af-
fected by the omission of the $300 minimum will receive
more than a 5 per cent increase. The largest salary increase
for the group affected is less than $150 a year—less than
$3.00 per week gross pay. After deductions, this means even
less take-home pay to cover the substantial increases in
living costs even since last year.

All the facts and figures show clearly that the raise in
pay of less than $100 that will be received by thousands of
State employees is unjust, and actually means a reduction

in their standard of living because of the declining value of
the dollar,

The $300 minimum must be restored.

State's Argument

For 6% Ris

e Viewed

‘As Insubstantial

ALBANY, Feb. 18—The Civil
Bervice Employees Association has
Introduced legislation calling for
® 10 per cent increase In pay
in place of the ndminstration-
aponsered bill of “approximately
per cent.” The organization is
urging the government and mem-
bers are importuning the local
Jegi ors, urging this 10 per cent
wage adjustment,

The Association, after careful
study of all the economic and sta-
tistical facts, states that on the
basis of the facts that the mini-
mum adjustment for state em~-
ployees is the 10 per cent called
for in its bill

A study of the history of the
state salary structure shows that
the wage problem is a complex
one. It is fair to state, the Associ
that no one single fig-
ure would provide the answer to
the question of how large a raise
is called for by the facts. But a
consideration of all the facts can
but lead to the conclusion that
a minimum of 10 per cent is the
smallest amount justified.

dex, probalbly the most important
and significant single figure avail-
able, has been at “an all time
high.” The latest figure available
(December 15, 1961) is 189.1, and
there is good reason to believe
that the spiral will continue to
rise as inflationary pressures fn-
crease through defense spending
and other important economic
considerations, Substantial wage
gains have been made in nearly
every labor market since the last
wage adjustment to State employ-
ces, A study of the progress of
the current wage negotiations it
the steel industry gives every in-
dication that the employees in
steel will receive a substantial
wage boost, possibly in excess of
184 cents per hour, and above
that allowed under the current
Wage Stabilization Board formula,
An adjustment in the steel indus-
try wiuld bave a strong tmpuct
on the wage structure, State em-
ployees, even with a 10 per cent
adjustment, would receive far less
of a wage adjustment than seems
certain to occur in many private
employments.
The State's Argument

One of the reasons put forward
to justify the 6 per cent admin-
istration bill has been that the
State did not wish to participate
in creating further infintionary
pressure through salary increas@¥
and that, oven though not subject
to it, did not wish to go contrary
to the current Wage Stabilization
Board wage omd salary formula,
In the first place, the so-called
formula has been used flexibly to
conform to the needs of a par-
ticular wage situation and its his-
tory. Secondiy it is doubtful if
the 6 per cent exceeds or even
equals that WSB formula require-
ments, particularly when the his-
tory of the state salary structure
is considered, Thirdly, state em-
pioyees ought not to be made the
victims of such an argument; they
suffer a5 much from rising living
costs as other segments of the
community.

Appezl to Gov. Dewey

ALBANY, Feb. 18—The Civil
Service Employees Association, re~
sponding to expressions of sincere
disappointment and distress on the
part of State employees through-
out the length and breadth of the
State, is presenting an urgent
appeal to Governor Thomas E.
Dewey and members of the Legis-
lature to supplement the budget
recommendations for salary ad-
justment at least to the extent
of a ten per cent increase and a
reinstatement of the $300 mini-
mum which applies under the ad-
justment of last year in the case
of low paid employees.

Senator Seymour Halpern and
Assemblman Fred W. Preller have
joined in introduction of Senate
Bill No, 1388, Print No. 1450 and
Assembly Bill Intro, No, 1781,
Print No, 1831, to restore the €300
minimum which applied Jast year
and which was eliminated in bud-
eet bills of this year,

Senator Halpern and Assembly-
man Orin 5. Wilcox have joined
in the introduction of Senate Bill
Intro, No. 1387, Print No, 1449
and Assembly Bill Intro. No, 1784,

Print No, 1834, to provide an in«
crease in State salaries of ten
per cent instead of the approxi-
mate six per cent proposed in
budget bills,
Prompt Appeals Urged

The Association calls upon all
of its 53,000 public employee mem-
bers to make prompt appeal to
Governor Thomas E. Dewey, all
members of the Legislature, and
thelr local businessmen and com-
munity leaders to suport the sal-
ary adjustments which the serious
impact of inflation has made neo-

essary,

The rise of the cost of living
to the highest levels in history
and the threat of further rise dur=
ing the coming twelve months
when the Legislature is absent
and unable to move to meet con-
ditions, the fair adjustments made
in private employment which is
making recruitment in State serv=
jee daily more difficult, all point,
the Association states, to the jus-
tice of at least supplementing bud-
get proposals by the amounts con=
tained in the Halpern -Preiler«

WHITE PLAINS, Feb, 18—The
Westchester County Conipetitive
Civil Service Association has be-
gun a survey of salaries, it was
announced at_a meeting held on
February 13. The survey seeks to
determine whether the salaries of
County employees are keeping
pace with increasing living costs
and with salaries in comparable
Jurisdictions and private business,
It was announced that Henry Gal-
pin, Salary Research Analyst of
‘The Civil Service Employees As-
sociation, of which the County
employees are a unit, was in
White Plains during the past week.
He checked upon present salary
levels in White Plains, New Ro-
chelle, Mt. Vernon and other areas
of the County. A Salary Commit-
tee was named Jast night to work
with the Salary Analyst and pre-
pare a proposal for presentation
to the Board of Supervisors with-
in the next month or so, This will
indicate any necessary adjust-
ment in County salaries and con-
tain statistics and facts to estab-
lish the need for such adjustment.

Reports Received

A report on the condition of
the Westchester Association was
made by the President, Miss Mc
Cabe; a financial and member-
ship report by the treasurer, Ei-
Jeon Kelleher; a report on salaries
and State legislation by J. Allyn
Stearns, Directors’ Chairman; pro-
posed revisions of the State Civil
Service Law by Ivan 8. Plood and
a@ nominating committee report by
Leonard Mecca, chairman.

Listed as accomplishments dur-
img 1951 were the Association's

major victory last July when the
Board of Supervisors voted to pay
the same increased Emergency
Compensation to all County em~
ployees instead of paying reduced
amounts to about 2400 workers
in lower brackets. It was pointed
out that hundreds of the lowest
paid County workers would even
now be receiving only $75 E, C.,
instead of the $225 which all get,
{f the Association had not been
able to obtain approval of the
additional $150 for them. Lib-
eralization of personnel policies
regarding appointment of tempor=
ary employees and promotion of
permanent emloyees. which allows
these emloyees to continue to re=
ceive at least the same rate of
pay of higher, instead of often
dropping back as in the past,
was noted as a big step forward,
Also, the recent action of the
Board in increasing the mileage
allowance to County employees
using their own automobiles, from
64% to 8 cents per mile, was listed
as an Association victory after @
number of years work.
Objectives Reaffirmed

The Association reaffirmed @
lengthy list of objectives for
County employees including lib~
eralization of the County Person=
net Rules, improved personnel
Procedures for the handling of
County employee matters, and
added benefits to bring the
County’s working conditions to
parity with those now common
elsewhere, A detailed list is be~
ing prepared for distribution,

Feb, 18 — A canvas

of the UPOA bill which would

The UPOA's position is that,

ter returning from a particularly
severe fire. It points out, also, that
the bill aims to extend to the Fire
Department the samo- principie
that governs retirement for heart
frouble in the armed forces,

Promising Prospects
“The prospects look promising
that the nla pass,” said Cap-

gas
engine or truck in cities through-
out the State will be enacted. A
bill to the same affect passed both
Houses last year but was vetoed
by Governor Thomas EB
because it included all

partments, even volunteer fire de-
partments which might have only
one vehicle, The present limitation
to cities is believed to remove all
of the Governor's objections.

Two other UFOA bills provide
for a 30 per cent salary increase,
and a 30 per cent retirement al-
lowance for widows,

The salary bill is affected by the
Mayor's request for more taxing
powers and State aid, and is tem-
porarily in abeyance.

The widows’ pension bill re-
ceived close attention of legisintors
when the reasons for its intro-
duction were thoroughly explained
to them.

Keating Active, Too

‘The present pension allowance
to @ fire officer's or a fireman's
widow is $600 a year, which was
30 per cent of the pay when the
pension law was originally enact-
ed three decades ago, Applying the
same percentage to present or fu-
ture pay would give recognition
to the rise in living costs and the
needs of widows whose $50-a-
month pension doesn’t come any-
where near supporting them or
their family, in fact, iat ey pays the
rent, if it does that.

‘The third member of the legis-
lative committee is Lieutenant
Patrick J. Keating. He usually al-
ternates with Battalion Chief
Hartnett in accompanying Cap-
tain Mullen on weekly trips to
Albany on behalf of the UFOA
legisiative program,

The Federal Scene

WASHINGTON, Feb. 18—Bills
to liberalize future retirement
efits and aid former U, 8. em-
ployees already retired met strong
opposition from the Truman Ad~-
ministration,

‘The Administration wants to
bring Federal employees under the
Social Seourity System. The Bud-
get Bureau is circulating & mem-
orandum in support of that bill,
But the U. 8. Civil Service Com-
mission remaing silent,

The Budget Bureau says that
Bocial Security would provide
Protection that a U. S. employee
could take with him wherever he
works. Increased survivor benefits,
substantial protection after a year
and « haif of work, plus the trans-
ferrability, make Social Security
extremely attractive to U. 8. work-
ers, sald the Budget Bureau.

Relief Rolls

‘The Commission stresses
Plight of those already retired but
says that they are like other per-
sons on fixed incomes, and that to
aid through the U, 8. Civil Service
Retirement System or other Fed-
eral funds would constitute dis-
crimination against the run of
citizens, The it System's
deficit, the Commission pointed
out, Is now five billion dollars,

Commission wants the pen.
sioners to seek aid through public
Telief laws.

The Budget Bureau didn’t go
along with that reasoning but
Warned that no increase to pres-
ent pensioners should impair the
equities of future pensioners.

The Commission opposes & bill
to permit U, S&S. employees, re-
tire at age 50 if Inid off bee 20
years’ service,

Meanwhile any action on
the pension bills, other than the
Social Security measure, is in
abeyance pending an actuarial
atudy of the whole Retirement
System,

Revenue Bureau as a Model

A MODEL civil service system in
the Internal Revenue Bureau of
the Treasury Department ts sought

Senator Mike Monroney (Dem.,
“freed from the red tape
and gobbiedegook that now sur-
rounds too much of our civil ser-
vice system,” He askea for “new
standards, simplified procedures, in
short, a mode! civil service sys~-
tem.”

President @ruman has an-
nounced that be will have all ex-
cept a relatively few officials of

the IRB in civil service status, and
will act by executive order if Con-

that the object was to get rid of

tics in the administration of

would provide a method. A $14
Q-year expert would be hired to
institute the streamlined system
based on pasting exams.

Permanent Promotions

tions, by the Whitten Amend-
ment, The September 1, 1960 level

MISSION believes that 1952 will
fo down in civil service history
as the year of the “great conver~
sions.”

About half # million employees
who were appointed on an “in~
definite” basis will begin to be
converted to ® quasi-permanent
status, to be known as “probation-
ary-indefinite.” In 1952 possibly
200,000 who took jobs on only the
“indefinite” basis would likely be
converted to the quasi-permanent
status. This would come to them
as a windfall, especially because
of some retention righta.

le the pian was received
with approval by employee groups,
the danger of confusing “proba-
tionary indefinite” and “proba-
tional (permanent)" was stressed.
‘The Probational (permanent) ap-
Pointments are made only in a
small percentage of jobs, for
which, under the Whitten Amend~-
ment, the Commission has sau-
thority to make exceptions. These
apply to hard-to-fill jobs mostly.
“Probationary-indefinite” is now
offered as an added attraction to
candidates. The junior engineer
and scientist exam now open is

an example,

Civil Service
Labor Problems
To Be Aired

‘The delicate problem of labor
relations in civil service will be
the subject of a many-sided “town
hall" meeting to be held Wednes-
day evening, February 20, Em-
ployee affiliation with unions,
questions of collective bargaining
rights and limita, strike action in
government, the implications of
political strength among public
employees—all these matters are
on the agenda for thrashing out
at a panel sponsored by the New
York Metropolitan chapter, Ameri-

tho |}can Society for Public Adminis-

tration, The event will take place
in the Paculty Dining Room,
Hunter College, 695 Park Avenue
(mt 69th Street), NYC,

ter, at VAnderbilt 6-300,

John Powers
Puts It
On the Line

SYRACUSE, Feb, i8—John FP.
Powers, Ist vice-president of the
Civil Service Employees Associa-
tion, put it on the line, Speaking
extemporancously at a meeting af
the Syracuse chapter, CSEA, on
Saturday, February 9 after a
State _lesislator had expressed
fection (but not in definite terms)
for the aims of State employees,
Mr. Powers took him up on it, “I
believe,” said Powers, “the legis-
jntors are trying to help us. We
hope to build up that 6 percent to
10 percent.” The statement drew
a round of applause.

Mr. Powers was referring to the
administration's € percent pay in-
crease bill, which is unacceptable
to employees. The CSEA has put
in an alternative measure calling
for a 10 per cent. increase.

Painters Settle
Pay Suit for
$130,000

More than 120 painters in the
employ of the NYC Housing Au-
thority received about $130,000 in
settioment of claims to prevail-
ing rates of wages for work per-
formed between 1998 and 1946,

Court action was brought to
compel the Authority to give its
painters ali the benefits of a cliy-
wide settlement of painters’ claims
for prevailing rates of wages for
ees performed between 1938 and

‘The Authority claimed that the
settlement, made by a resolution
of the Board of Eatimate on No-
vember 14, 1946, was not binding
on the Authority because the Au-
thority was an independent agen-
¢y, not subject to the jurisdiction
of the Board of Estimate and that
the painters had no right to back
Day because they had not fled
Labor Law complaints.

Congressman Sidney A. Pine,
1440 Broadway, NYC, and his as-
peer Morris Weissberg, repre-

ited the painters in-the sult

tad to the rettlement.

Advises

SYRACUSE, Feb, 18 — Public
employees expect six things out of
thelr employment—security, recog-
nition, opportunity, participation,
belonging, and good supervision.

These are the factors that go
into human relation, Dr. Martin
P. Catherwood told an audience of
State civil service employees on
Saturday, Pebruary 9. Dr. Cather-
wood is dean of the Schoo! of In-
dustrial and Labor Relations, Cor-
nell University, and his address
was made before the Syracuse
chapter of the Ctvil Service Em-
ployees Association.

Under security, Dr. Catherwood
stated that “public employees ex-
pect reasonable pay, a reasonably
clear definition of their job tenure,
and some provision for the hazards
of unemployment, iliness, dis-
ability, and old age.” He added
that a feeling of security is not
based on financial considerations
alone, but includes confidence in
managemen

Symbols of Status

Of recognition, he said: “The
symbols of strtus cannot be over-
emphasized and protection from
unnecessary humiliation is import-
ant. There is no job xo lowly but
what it has its elements of status
for the individual.”

Dr. Catherwood considers op-
portunity to mean more than ad-
Vancement, and includes under it
opportunity for training and de-
velopment. Employees “expect the
chance to use their abilities.”

Employees expect, also, he con-

>

Workers “l

therwood
Bosses

tinued, to participate. “They ex«
pect the opportunity for being @
part of the organization, for un«
derstanding why certain decisions
are made. They expect serious
brie comer and credit for their

ant to be accepted as
part of a team, and have the com~
panionship of their associates,

Good Supervision

Dr, Catherwood called good su<
pervision “a basic essential for the
other things employees expect,
but merits special emphasis be-
cause of the key function at all
levels in all problems of human
relations. To the employee the
Supervisor ix the employer. They
expect m supervisor who is con-
sistent rather than of the ‘hot and
cold’ variety.”

People can’t be treated as cogs
in @ machine, the former State
Commerce chief insisted. He cited
as one of the reasons for this an
unbridged gap between the policy
makers and the supervisors and
line employees.

More Listening

Mr. Catherwood sugested more
listening to employees and the use
of employee attitude surveys,
“Many administrators,” he point-
ed out, “would benefit from a
frank—preferably anonymous—ex-
Pression of the opinions, gripes,
and reactions of their employees
. ». Grievance procedures and
suggestion systems are food as
far as they go—but they don’t go
far enough,” He called for addi-
tional training of supervisors,

Joined Retirement System

John was required to join the
State Retirement System when he
first started to work for the State,
even though he was a pretty
young guy and thoughts or retire-
ment seemed to lack reality to
him at the time, This assures him
that later on in life he won't be
dependent on the kids for support.
His contribution toward retire-
ment will vary a lot depending
how old he was when he started
working for the State and how
old he'll be upon retirement,
among other things. But his con-
tribution will be about $7. each
payday, After this deduction his
check will amount to $128.93 each
pay day or a little less than $64.50
a week, That's less than govern-
ment agencies consider a mini-
mum for decent standards

Tt is dificult to see how John
and his family can enjoy what
has become an accepted part of
our way of life, That means a
presentable car to take the gang
