Adopt Weighted Vote
For Western Meetings
(From Leader Correspondent)
CANANDAIGUA—Western Region 6 of the Civil Service
Employees Association has become the second region in the
state to adopt weighted voting.
Chapter presidents and delegates at a region meeting
Oct, 18-19 at the Trenholm East
Inn near here agreed to assign
chapters one vote for every 100
members.
Region president William Mc-
Gowan said some of the larger
chapters in Erie and Monroe
counties will have large voting
blocs. Formerly, each chapter, no
matter what its total member-
ship, had only one vote.
Chapter votes will be based on
the number of members whose

Submit Thruway Pact To Vote
Following Fact-Finder’s Report
ALBANY—A third ratification vote is in progress among State Thruway Authority
toll, maintenance and clerical employees represented by the Civil Service Employees Assn. in
an effort to gain approval of a new 2-year contract for the more than 2,000 Thruway em-
ployees in the three work classifications,
Secret mail ballots were mailed
out over the past weekend and
must be returned not later than
noon, Tuesday, Nov, 19, to be
valid. Accompanying the ballots
mailed to all members of Unit 1
was a letter urging CSEA mem-
bers to ratify the latest contract
proposal, ‘The letter was signed
by each of the 11 members of
the CSEA negotiating team in-
volved in the months-long bar-
gaining effort
The offer now being considered
by the membership reflects the
recommendations of a fact-finder
appointed by the Public Employ-
ment Relations Board at the re-
quest of CSEA. The fact-finder,
Albany Law School Professor
Ralph Semerad, entered the bar:
gaining dispute after CSEA de
clared an impasse during nego-
tiating sessions which followed
two earlier rejections of contract
offers by the membership.
Involving himself only with
the issues of salary and shift pay
differential, the fact-finder rec-
ommended a 7 percent salary
hike retroactive to July 1, 1974,
and an additional 7 percent pay
increase effective July 1, 1975
He recommended a $1.50 differ-
ential per shift for maintenance
employees, and a differential
schedule of $200 to $300 for toll
collection employees. The con-
tract would replace the previous
agreement which expired on
June 30, 1974
In urging members to accept
the latest proposal, the CSEA
negotiating team letter said, “We
are transmitting this ballot to
you asa result of the report and
recommendations from the fact-
finder assigned. by the Public
Employment Relations Board. In
view of the ruling from the fact-
finder and due to the fact we
believe it would be impractical
to seek a legislative hearing, we,
your negotiating committee, col-
lectively recommend ratification
of the proposed contract.”

CIVIL
Thelma Upton's Ordeal Is Not Over Yet
By RHONA RICH
Back in "72 Thelma Upton
was buying things for her
home, thinking of trading in
the family car — considering
all those costly items before her
paychecks stopped and she set-
tied down with the smaller in-
come from her retirement pen-
sion. With 18 years on the job
as a cook for the State Depart-
ment of Correctional Services,
Thelma Upton was looking for-
ward to her retirement, which
seemed just around the corner—
@ little over a year away.
She and her husband were also
making plans at this time to
adopt a foster child. In retire-
ment she would be able to give
more time to this child, a little
black baby, whom she had taken
in after her own four children
had grown.
But Thelma is not enjoying
the peace of mind and security
that should now be hers in re-
Become
The career is exciting
tirement after so many years as
a civil servant.
Instead Thelma is distraught,
She doesn't sleep nights. She
worries about her bills, about
paying the oilman who demands
cash from her, about feeling
ashamed to walk down the ~
street, about keeping the roof
over her head and over her
baby’s head.
She has already watched her
lifetime savings all but run out
and her car be repossessed. Now
she waits for the bank to fore-
close on her house.
How could her situation which
appeared to be reasonably secure
Just a few years ago turn, <esm-
ingly overnight, to this calami-
tous pass’
One day, with just one year
and four months to go before
retirement, Thelma was told by
the State Department of Correc-
tional Services, that she was

kitchen and so her job was being
given to a male. Thelma Upton
suddenly found herself the sitting
target for the issue of women
employees in male correctional
facilities.
Meanwhile, Thelma’s husband,
employed in the automotive in-
dustry which is hurting badly
in this economic crunch, was laid
off from his job.
While financial ruin was
threatening the Upton family,
‘Thelma brought her case to the
State's Division of Human
Rights. For nearly two years her
case was pending before this
Division
As a result of hearings on her
case, Human Rights Commission.
er Jack Sable recen‘ly found that
the Correction Department un-
lawfully discriminated against
Thelma because of her sex. The
Commissioner therefore ordered
that the Department rehire Thel-
ma at a facility near her home,
The Department was also or-
dered to accord her all rights
and benefits retroactive to De
cember 1972, and to pay her sal-
ary retroactive from that date.
In addition, Thelma was to re-
ceive a sum as reparation for
her mental anguish and reim-
bursement for her medical and
doctor bills during this period
However, Thelma has received
none of this because the Depart-
ment of Correction has decided
not to comply with the order and
has appealed the decision to the
State Human Rights Appeal
Board.
While Thelma’s life hangs in
the balance, the legal machinery
grinds on, The Department of
Correction contends that they
are not responsible for the back
pay and other sums owed to
Ms, Upton which were incurred
while the case pended in the Di-
vision of Human Rights.
The Department is also ap-
Realing the occupation aspect of
the case, the issue of a woman
working in 4 maximum security
prison,
A spokesman for the Depart-
ment said, “It is unfortunate
that an individual has to be
caught up in this. But to acqui-
esce to the decision wouldn't
solve anything.”
He put the department's pasi-
tion this way, “The physical lay-
out of some of the facilities are
not places for women.” The
spokesman said that each facility
must be looked at individually.
"Where Ms. Upton was em-
ployed,” he said, "the inmates
shower before and after the work
in the kitchen in open stalls lo-
cated near the kitchen.” He sald
that the proximity of the open-
stall showers made it undesirable
for women to work in this kiteh-
en
For eight months, just before
she was let go, Thelma had
worked in this kitchen, The fa-
cility had recently been changed
over © a maximum sseurity pris-
on, She said that she was ap
prehensive of working there at
firet, but, it was her job to go
in there and she did. She soon
found that the inmates treated
her with dignity and respect and
she found no cause to fear for
her safety.
Prior to the change-over, wien
it was an institution for the
¢riminally insane, Thelma work-
ed in this kitchen, side-by-side
with these patients for two years,
She claims she was in far more
danger then with the criminally
insane, but ho one took any no-
tee of her safety at that time.
‘Thelma's ability to do the job
nurse with the Department of
Correctional Services who testi-
fied at Thelma’s hearing, the
witnesses without exception, said
that Thelma was one of the best
workers. She was sald to be com-
petent and to have excellent rap-
port with the inmates,
Because Ms, Kingsley has
spoken out on this woman's is-
sue, taking sides against what
she calls “archaic” administra-
ton, she feels that she ts being
harassed by the superintendent
of her facility. Despite her sen-
jority in the prison system, Ms.
Kingsley has been given the
worst possible days off, Tuesday
and Wednesday. She claims that
in retaliation for her defense of
Thelma Upton and another
woman ith a similar complaint
against the department, the su-
perintendent will “never let her
have a weekend off again.”
Mary Kingsley, who bas work-
ed many years in maximum se-
curity prisons, imeluding Attica.
doesn't understand the depart-
ment's “occupational” reasons
for not hiring women. She feels
the risks are just as great to a
n a$ to @ woman and she
knows of male kitchen workers
who would be just as defenseless
against attack,
And she asks, “What harm
could it ever do to have a woman
there? It may even do some good
to have plain, decent feminine
warmth,”
She is also concerned about
the ramifications of this policy.
“Where is it going to end? Is
the Department going to be able
to say ‘No nurses but male
nurses, no secretaries but male
secretaries?’ she worries.
Another crusader for Thelma
Upton's cause is Jack Weisz, the
Correctional representative to the
Civil Service Employees Assn.
Mr. Weisz, who has been fight-
ing for Thelma for two years,
is outraged by the department's
treatment of this “remarkable
woman,” Mr. Weisz feels that in
hiring, sex is quite beside the
point. He sees it this way, “The
question should be ‘Can you do
the job?" The Merit System prin-
ciple.”
Mr. Weisz has set up a fund,
the Thelma Upton Fund, to help
her keep her house. But a credi-
tor has already put a Hen on the
fund so he urges others to con-
tribute to give this woman a
chance to “live and eat.”
State employees may be wise
to consider Thelma Upton's
plight and take note of her
words, “If they can do it to me,
any of the state employees can
have it happen to them.”

Upton Pund should be sent to:

BUFFALO—An Erie Coun-
ty correction officer will be
reimbursed his salary for a
suspension, imposed by his
superior officer, found to be
excessive by State Supreme
Court Justice Michael F. Dillon,
who acted on an appeal filed by
the Civil Service Employees Assn.
Pinding the punishment “ex-
cessive in the light of the record
before me," Justice Dillon di-
rected Albert J. Meyer, Superin-
tendent of the Erie County Cor-
rectional Pacility, “to impose a
penalty of suspension of not in
excess of 14 days.”
Mr. Meyer had originally found
the correction officer, John C.
Kemp, guilty of “misconduct”
and “failure to adequately per-
form the duties of his position,”
and imposed a suspension from
July 17 to Sept. 10, 1973.
Mr. Kemp will now receive
“back pay" for the length of the
suspension In excess of Justice
Dillon's ruling. The hearing be-
fore Mr, Meyer was held pur-
suant to Section 75 of Title B
of the New York State Civil Ser-
vice Law, and the appeal was
for a judgment under Article 78
of the Civil Practice Law and
Rules,
Attorney Ronald Jaros, of the
firm of Kavinoky, Cook, Hepp,
Sandler, Gardner, and Wisbaum,
represented Mr, Kemp for the

Wage Offer Rejected
By Albany SS Group
ALBANY—A unanimous vote at a general membership
meeting of Albany County Department of Social Services
employees rejected the county's offer of a 5 percent pay
increase.
‘The county, the workers stated,
has refused to make any signi-
ficant changes in work condl-
tions and employee benefits. So-
cial Services employees are not
entitled to unemployment or dis-
ability insurance and the county
has refused to provide any im-
provements in health insurance
coverage, pension benefits, or
equal pay for equal work.
Earlier this year county clerk
James Coyne was quoted by the
Albany Times-Union, saying,
“Those people making below
$6,000 are being grossly under-
paid. I cannot see how a person
making $5,000 or $5,100 can make
ends meet in these days of in-
flation. With the cost of living
rising to 12 percent for this past
year, these people in the $5,000
bracket are hurt the most,”
Approximately 40 percent of
the full-time Social Services em-

Mr, McGowan said he favored

I don’t know whether it
was considered at the time
the decision was made to
bring metal portable ladders
into the job, but I do know that
for a lousy 20 to 25 bucks, the
tops and bottoms of both trusses
on those ladders could have been
treated and made safe against
the conduct of electricity. For
that amount of dough for each
ladder as compared with the loss
of two lives... . would it have
been better to save lives or
bucks? And, how long do you
think 1 will take for every por-
table ladder to be properly treat-
ed as of now? .
When a death or deaths occur
within a company, the arrival of
a flock of investigating officers
is inevitable. In most cases, they
conduct themselves in gentle-
manly fashion, if for no other
reason than out of deference to
the men who have suffered the
loss of one of their own,
1 am sorry to report ‘although
based on past performance of
this particular gentleman, I am
not at all surprised at the reports,
that this particular four-striper,
super-biggie came on pretty
strong. He kicked his weight
around as he is wont to do, end-
ing up in a confrontatton with
certain union individuals. He
conducted himself like a junior
Napoleon and had to be told in
no uncertain terms to ‘get smart
to himself’ by none other than
the acting Commissioner) The
thing got so sticky at one point
that charges by the subordinate
were promised against the biggie
and are still pending as of Nov.
6. Of course, everybody is making
countercharges as is to be ex-
pected.
One of the statements made
that night in 17 Truck by this
fellow was in connection with the
trial of one of the members
which was scheduled for next
morning. The loud-mouthed one
bragged that he'd give the de-
fendant a “twenty-day rip.”
Now come on, Chiefie baby . . .
Deputy Commissioner Mancusi is
the Trial Commissioner and it 1s
& matter of common knowledge
that Commissioner O'Hagan sets
the penalties, so who are you
to give a “rip” to anybody?
At the funeral services for both
Firemen Johnnie Williams and
Russell Lindball, there were cer-
tain people who were pleasantly
conspicuous by their presence,
There were also those who were
painfully conspicuous by their
absence.
I am referring, of course, to
the absence of Fire Commission-
er John T. O'Hagan, who has
been absent from four out of five
line-of-duty funerals since be-
coming Commissioner. I really
was amazed and the comment I
heard was, to say the least, salty,
In one case, shortly after
Mayor Beame took office, he had
scheduled a first meeting of his
City Hall Cabinet of which Com-
missioner O*Hagan was a mem-
ber, The mayor said he wouldn't
tolerate anybody staying away
from the meeting for any reason
ineluding the funeral of a dead
firefighter. He was wrong, of
course, for he should have been
there, too! It would seem that

he has since learned the fine
points of protocol on the subject.
However, the track record of
Car No. 1 is inexcusable as far
as the troops are concerned. This
is especially true when you con-
sider that when the twelve offi-
cers and members were killed at
the “Twenty-third Street fire,”
the then Deputy Commissioner
Raymond Nolan, was vacationing
in Ireland and, upon hearing of
the tragedy, arranged to take the
first available plane home to be
where he felt he ‘should have
been .. . right beside the widows
and families of the dead men.
‘The question; How does one ac-
count for the difference in the
thinking?
On the Channel 31 telecast of
“The Commissioner Reports,” one
of the men, during the last 30
seconds of the program, asked
what the Commissioner thought
of my statement about his im-
pending departure as Commis-
sioner, The Boss answered the
question with a question which
neither confirmed nor denied the
story. Something or other was
said to the effect that didn't the
fireman who asked the question
think the Boss looked as though
he wanted to hang around? Well,
frankly, for 45 grand a year I
think I'd like to stay around, too,
but alas, I'm still afraid that
others have different ideas . . .
let's wait and see!
When the Fire Department
contingent marched in the Vet-
eran's Day parade on Nov. 11, no
color guard was provided by or-
der of Fire Commissioner John
T. O Hagan.
A spokesman for the New
York County Veterans Organiza-
tion expressed profound dis-
pleasure at the Commissioner's
action, For the last year almost
every request for a color guard
has been turned down by the
Commissioner for reasons of
economy.
In as much as over 60 percent
of New York firemen are veter-
ans and, in view of the public
apathy to veterans in general,
which seems to be the rule rather
than the exception nowadays, the
Fire Commissioner's decision
would seem to be ill advised and
in extremenly poor taste, and
should be reversed at once in
order to avoid creating an ex-
tremely poor impression,

Continuing Struggle
OMETIMES, with all the major issues swirling around us,
it is hard to grasp how we as individuals are affected.
Suddenly, fate seems to single out one person, and the
full weight of the world appears to fall on his or her
shoulders.
Such a case is that of Thelma Upton, who for 18 years
performed her duties as a cook at the Adirondack Correc-
tional Facility. Then, wham, it was decided that her job
at the all-male facility should be handled by a man, and she
was out of a job.
From a woman who was looking forward to retirement
within a couple of years, Ms. Upton was reduced to the po-
sition where she is being forced to part with her life savings
and possessions in order to survive.
After two years of fighting the state, with the aid of
several leaders of the Civil Service Employees Assn., especially
Jack Weisz, Correctional Services representative to the un-
ion's Board of Directors, Ms. Upton was ordered reinstated
to her job in a ruling by the State Human Rights Commission.
The Correctional Services Department, however, is pro-
testing the ruling, and so the battle continues on,
While Ms. Upton’s personal tragedy may pass by rela-
tively unnoticed in the onrush of international and national
issues, it does stand as a painful reminder that there are
many inequities still to be resolved in management's rela-
tionships with other employees.
At least Ms. Upton has the comfort of knowing that so
many dedicated union leaders are standing firm with her
during this ordeal.
Career Of Dedication
URING the election campaign last month, Malcolm
Wilson spoke before the Shomrim Society of the New
York City Police Department.
Seldom have we heard so well expressed a description
of what sets a police officer apart from his fellow citizens.
The Governor said: “The layman's understandable in-
stinct is to move away from danger but the police officer
denies himself that luxury the day he or she pins on the
shield. I do not regard police work as merely a job, for no
one lays his life on the line 365 days a year just to earn a
living. It is a career of dedication to the safety and well
being of your feliow citizen."
We would hope that all the state's citizens had the same
respect for the men in blue as that expressed by the state's
chief executive.
Misdirection Of Effort
N THE other hand, we find it incredible that New York's
Finest should be used to prevent cars from entering the
municipal parking lot at Police Plaza in downtown Manhat-
tan.
‘This five-story parking lot has not been filled to capacity
since it was opened, yet there’are full-fledged police officers
dutifully turning cars away. (The problem is simply that no
one inside the building is being used to direct cars to the
lower levels, which remain virtually empty at all times.)
We think it hurts the image of police officers to be put
into a position where they have to serve as the goat for
someone else's bungling.
(Continued from Page 1)
for the State Senate and Assem-
bly, and with only a few contests
not yet officially decided due to
the closeness of the voting, it ap-
pears that more than 80 percent
of the CSEA-endorsed candidates
won seats In the State Legisla-
ture.
With a scattering of contests
unresolved, 50 out of 55 CSEA-
endorsed politicians could emerge
as winners in races for State
Senate seats, and in the Assem-
bly contests, CSEA appears to
have selected 108 winners in 135
contests.
In 1972, with endorsements go-
ing to far fewer candidates,
CSEA had picked 75 percent of
the winners, so last week's elec-
tion results represent a substan-
tial improvement over the pre-
vious effort.
With this increased awareness
of their power at the voting
booth, public employees are go-
ing to be eager for recognition
of their power when it comes
time for the new Administration
to sit down with them to nego-
tate the third year of the Civil
Service Employees Assn. contract
with the state,
Work on the third year of the
current contract, which includes
@ reopencr clause on salaries,
should begin soon after Gover-
norelect Carey has appointed
new members to offices with
Jurisdiction over collective bar-
gaining, grievance procedures
and other matters of vital con-
cern to public employees,
Top Priorities
At the top of the list of CSEA
priorities in the upcoming nego-
tiations, substantial salary in-
creases will certainly be a matter
for intense bargaining. Union of-
ficials will have no choice other
than to demand that state em-
ployees' salaries be increased to
help them cope with the runaway
inflation that is threatening to
destroy the American Middle
Class.
With the exception of a
small percentage of high-level
executives in the state, it must
be remembered that the vast
majority of civil service employ-
ees are just average citizens, try-
ing desperately to stay ahead of
their creditors, For every high-
salaried executive, there are hun-
dreds of clerks, secretaries, hos-
pital attendants, custodians, etc.,
who are making less than $9,000
annually, That may have been
grand 20 years ago, er even rea-
sonable 10 years ago, but today
it 1s unsatisfactory, For those
people making less than $7,000
the situation is fast approaching
desperation.
There ar? many other iesues
that are of interest to public
employees, During the course of
the campaign, Governor-elsct
Carey showed his recognition of
these issues.
Legislature Divided
He insisted that the question
of pensions is an appropriate area
of bargaining in collective nego-
tations. He also took the position
that public employees, who work
at jobs that do not affect the
public safety, should be permit~
ted to strike. He expressed will-
ingness to move forward on long~
sought CSEA amendments to the
Taylor Law that would equalize
the power of the CSEA represen-
tatives at the bargaining table
with the power held by the repre-
sentatives of the public employer,
He also stated that he would ap-

A Case Of Dismissal
‘The New York State Court of Appeals recently affirmed
& decision of the Appellate Division, Fourth Department, in
@ case involving an employee who made application for
promotion to a job of Sanitation Supervisor. The employee
answered “No” to the question on the application as to
whether he had ever been arrested. The employee, in fact,
had been arrested on several occasions but had never been
convicted. Five years after his appointment, the Civil Service
Commission removed the employee from his employment on
the grounds that he had made a fraudulent application for
promotion. The employee commenced an Article 78 proceed-
ing in the Monroe County Supreme Court. The Judge sitting
on that case dismissed the petition and held that although
the employee had never been convicted, he did commit fraud
of a substantial nature in making an improper answer on
the application for promotion.
IN A MEMORANDUM opinion, the Appellate Division,
Fourth Department, stated that from the uncontroverted
evidence before it, the Civil Service Commission properly
found that the petition had committed fraud of a substantial
nature when he made application for promotion in July
1966 and answered “No” to the question of whether he had
ever been arrested, There was no dispute that in fact the
petitioner had been arrested on some previous occasions
but had never been convicted, Petitioner attempted to ex-
plain his erroneous answer on the application, stating that
he misinterpreted the question as to arrests and thought it
referred to convictions. The absence of convictions, coupled
with his misinterpretation and the fact that he had already
served five years as a supervisor and an additional four years
prior to that, led the court to the conclusion that the punish-
ment of removal was excessive and unduly disproportionate
to the offense. The court stated that in the exercise of its
power, the penalty should be limited to a six-month sus-
pension.
FROM THAT DECISION of the Appellate Division,
Fourth Department, the Civil Service Commission appealed
to the Court of Appeals. In affirming the Appellate Division
on its holding that a dismissal from employment was too
severe, the Court of Appeals said, “The fraudulent denial
of arrests in the petitioner’s application for employment
may have constituted a valid ground for denial of employ-
ment, and therefore for dismissal following a reasonable
opportunity for discovery. After the passage of an extended
period of time, however, in this instance five years, the
ground loses its force. It is immaterial whether one regards
the basis for ignoring the original fraud as a waiver, estop-
pel, or laches. Beyond the reasonable time for discovery of
the fraud, petitioner should not have been dismissed unless
first, there had been a showing, either that there was still
@ valid basis for disqualification to fill the position because
of the arrests, or that he had been guilty of misconduct or
incompetence in the performance of his duties." In the
Matter of Leonardo v, Civil Service Commission and Office
of Personnel, Monroe County, 34 NY 2d 760; 358 NYS 2d 136.

input at the local level in de-
termining the institutional school
calendar, the formation of a com-

CIVIL SERVICE LEADER, Tuesday, November 12, 1974
Special Civil Service (Affirmative Action) Committee Report Con’t.
(Continued from Last Weck)
A task to which the Civil Service
Commission expects to give high priority
is that of aiding State and local govern-
ments to improve all aspects of thelr
personnel administration so that dis-
crimination is eliminated from all thelr
selection procedures. If it has engaged
in @ pattern of discrimination in the
past, of course the employer has an
obligation to take affirmative steps to
eliminate the present effects of that
discrimination, Such steps may include
recruiting, and setting goals and time-
tables,
When progress has been made to
eradicate the effeots of such practices,
and selection procedures can be devel-
oped and put into effect which meet
the Supreme Court's standard, then a
true merit system exists, When that
happens, as I said at the beginning,
there is no conflict between a true merit
system and the Civil Rights Act since
both of them include non-discrimination
as a sine qua non.
IV. STATE AND LOCAL AFFIRMA-
TIVE ACTION PLANS.
Some 34 State Agencies have filed
Affirmative Action Programs with the
State Division of Human Rights, five of
which have been transmitted to CSEA
for review. The five State Agencies
whose plans have been submitted to
CSEA through the Division of Human
Rights are as follows:
1, State Department of Civil Service.
2, State Department of Social Ser-
vices.
3. State Department of Environmen-
tal Conservation,
4, State Executive Department — Of-
fice of State Aging.
5. State Education Department

mitted by the State Department of Civil
Service is attached to this report as

V. SUMMARY OF MEETINGS OF THE
SPECIAL CSEA CIVIL SERVICE
COMMITTEE WITH REPRESEN-
TATIVES OF THE FEDERAL AND
STATE GOVERNMENTS,
Mrs. Naomi Strunsky, Chief, Merit
Systems and ‘Technical Assistance
Branch, United States Civil Service
Commission, was the first consultant to
address the Committee. Mrs. Strunsky
outlined the Federal Government's goals
and timetables of the Affirmative Ac-
tion Program, and the requirements for
the establishment and maintenance of
personnel standards on a merit basis in
the administration of various programs.
The speaker stated that the develop-
ment of proper and efficient adminis-
tration of programs is a mutual concern
of the Federal, State and local agencies
cooperating in the programs, She said
social and manpower problems indicate
a need for the public service to provide
leadership in developing job opportuni-
ties for the disadvantaged, unemployed
or underemployed persons with educa-
tonal, training, economic, physical, or
other types of handicaps, This need has
been recognized in recent social and leg-
islative initiatives which have been di-
rected toward utilizing the unemployed
and underemployed as @ manpower re-
source to meet the rising demands of
the public serviee.
Employment of the disadvantaged can
Successful implementation and opera-
tion of a program to provide employ-
ment opportunities for disadvantaged
persons depends to a large extent upon
the attitudes and abilities of first-level
supervisors. The supervisor must carry
out management's commitment to pro-
viding jobs and work training for the
disadvantaged. Regardless of what a
positive offical policy may say about
employing the disadvantaged, it is large-
ly the supervisor’s actions which deter-
mine the effectiveness of the program.
In addition, the attitudes of co-workers
and fellow employees should support the
policy set down for the organization.
Employment opportunities for the dis-
advantaged can be developed by rede-
signing existing jobs to separate profes.
sional and nonprofessional tasks into
more appropriately structured jobs. This
not only allows skilled personnel to
spend more time performing higher-
level tasks, but contributes to efficiency.
For persons with physical handicaps,
who already possess the training to per-
form satisfactorily in existing Jobs, it
may be necessary to modify the physical
environment of a job rather than its
content in order to expand employment
opportunities.
Mrs, Strunsky said special recruiting
efforts should be focused on likely
sources of disadvantaged applicants; for
example, residents of disadvantaged
neighborhoods, welfare recipients, phyal-
cal rehabliitants, and vocational educa-
tion, manpower training, and poverty
program trainees, Continuing close co-
operation between the merit system
agency and the program agencies, with
the personnel agency exercising initia-
tive and leadership, is necessary to as-
sure carefully coordinated planning, or-
ganization, and execution of a focused
recruitment program.
Normally entry positions established
for the disadvantaged will be filled
through open-competitive merit system
selection methods. However, same modi-
fication of traditional selection tech-
niques ip accordance with basic merit
principles and development of new types
of selection devices may be essential to
the successful employment of the dis-
advantaged,
Mrs. Strunsky emphasized that agen-
cy training programs should be designed
to improve skills needed for more ef-
fective job performance and to prepare
employees with ability and potential for
advancement, The employment of dis-
advantaged persons often necessitates
special training efforts to enable them
to perform their Jobs satisfactorily and
to compete for advancement on an equal
basis with other employees,
Once program objectives have been
established and plans implemented for
thelr accomplishment, evaluation proce-
dures are needed to help assure contin-
ued progress in employing the disad-
vantaged. Program evaluation should
focus on effectiventss—the degree to
which goals and objectives have been
accomplished.
A variety of progress measures may
be tailored to analyze program perform~
ance depending on the needs of a given
situation. For example, turnover rates of
employees hired from among the dis-
advantaged can provide indications of
the success with which the disadvan-
taged have been placed in appropriate
Jobs; a longitudinal study of individual
progress in career ladders designed for
the disadvantaged can indicate the suc-
cess of that program, concluded the
speaker,
At the second meeting of the Com-
mittee, three representatives of the Civil
Service Department were present, The
representative were: Irving Handler,
Wilson's mandate in thelr own depart-
wee Handler said that he could only
tell what we are doing in the Civil Ser-
vice Department and what other de-
partments tell us they are doing. As on
the Federal level, there is no specific
power to develop a program vested in
any one unit of State Government. The
only force that can do that is the courts
and even their orders could be chal-
lenged if a department believes it has
a working Affirmative Action Program,
he said,
When asked what Affirmative Action
is, the answer was, “Affirmative Action,
in the simplest terms possible, is & fair
chance for everyone to qualify for a po-
sition, Under Federal guidelines and
State mandate, Civil Service must be
sure that the Job dictates the require-
ments for the person to take the test for
the job opening and that the test, itself,
relates to the job," the spokesman con-
cluded.
Mr. Quinn explained, “Before affirm-
ative action guidelines were established,
we thought that the State Civil Service
System was very good. Our tests were
hard and only the ‘cream of the crop’
were able to pass them. We then ap-
pointed only the best person for the
vacant position.”
But now we must re-evaluate the ex-
aminations, We must look harder so that
more people can participate in the test-
ing. We still end up with the best per-
son. But it ls a more democratic process
with many more participants from ev-
ery possible situation. However, now the
problem of mile-long waiting lists has
been created.”
Mr, Etter stated that the Department
of Civil Service has the responsibility
for 5,000 positions. The State has spent
two million dollars on one test re-evalua-
tion, publication of public announce-
ments, ete. The cost factor is tremendous
and this examination was so over-sup-
ported that the community has been
turned off. That's an example of affirm-
ative action back-firing.
Asked what re-evaluation procedures
of examinations were being used, the
speakers explained, “We have to go to
the source of information about the job
itself. So we go to the employees with
questionnaires of even interviews, We
do ask supervisors various job-related
questions. And for those one-of-a-kind
Jobs, we have to go at times to private
industry to find out what exactly the
Job requires.”
Questioned about possible changea in
the Civil Service Merit System, the
speaker answered, “We are sure that
CSEA would balk at any possible change
in the present system, We are now try-
ing to find out what possible effects
court rulings could have on various as-
pects of the Clyil Service Merit System,
and we believe the State will defend {ts
Present selection system to and through
legal proceedings, if necessary."
“But actually, affirmative action 1s
what the Civil Service is all about—
giving everyone a fair chance at a posl-
tion.”
Asked bluntly {f CSEA will have a
volce in Affirmative Action
being considered by the State, the speak-
ers all agreed, “CSEA ts already in-
volved, CSEA ts not golng to let the
State do anything that may harm its
members. We know that... . And most
of the time the State and CSEA do work
to interest government agencies in de-
ing, an Affirmative Action Committee
Mr. Ruiz offered to supply CSEA with
reports and materials in an effort to
improve understanding and awareness
of the scope of the program.
VI, SPECIAL CIVIL SERVICE COM-
MITTEE RECOMMENDATIONS TO
THE CSEA BOARD OF DIREC-
TORS.
Your special CSEA Civil Service Com-
mittee respectfully submits to the Board
of Directors the following recommenda-
tions concerning Affirmative Action
Programs and requests that such rec-
ommendations be adopted:
A. That the Special Civil Service
Committee be authorized to take action
to investigate civil service procedures
with respect to recruitment, examina-
tions, ete, whenever the Committee
deems such action necessary,
B. That Labor-Management Commit-
tees, established under our contracts
within State Departments or Agencies,
become the vehicle through which Af-
firmative Action matters within each
department or agency are reviewed and
CSEA ts thus afforded an opportunity
for input into Affirmative Action Pro-
grams.
C. That the President of CSEA cor-
respond with the Governor's office mak-
ing the request that CSEA be permitted
to have no less than three members on
the State Interdepartmental Committee
on Human Rights—such Committee
presently reviews and has input into
State Agency Affirmative Action Pro-
grams.
D. That the President of CSEA also
request Minutes of Meetings within State
Agencies and those of the Interdepart-

Special Civil Service (Affirmative Action) Committee Report Con’t.
open up sources of eligible applicants @
(Continued from Page 8)
H. That this report and any appropri-
ate materials with reference to Affirma-
tive Action Programs be distributed to
all CSEA Chapter Presidents, members
of the Board of Directors, Headquarters
Management Staff and Field Staff in
order to increase their knowledge con-
cerning such programs and place them
in a better position to serve our mem-
bership.
We thus have four separate govern-
ment agencies—EEOC, the Civil Service
Commission, Justice and Labor—di-
rectly involved in advising (or in some
cases instructing) state and local gov-
ernments as to how to discharge their
legal responsibilities to ensure non-dis-
crimination in thelr personnel systems
When it is a matter of arguing cases
in court or drafting consent decrees—
as frequently occurs—the Department
of Justice must speak for the entire
Federal Executive Branch in defining
what are acceptable or unacceptable
remedies on the part of state or Incal
governments which have been delinquent
in their equal opportunity responsibili-
ties.
The moment we have four different
agencies which deal with state and
local governments in the same opera-
tional field, we have the challenge of
making sure that each of the four fol-
lows the same policies and guidelines
4s to proper and improper ways to
move from a discriminatory to a non-
discriminatory personnel system, Noth-
ing is more frustrating to state and
local officials than to get conflicting
“signals” and advice from different
sourees in the federal executive branch.
Every reasonable effort must be made in
this particularly complex and sensitive
area to avoid multiple interpretations
and the ensuing confusion,
All four agencies agree that there is
no conflict between a true merit selec-
tion system and equal employment op-
portunity laws—because each requires
non-discrimination in selection, hiring,
promotion, transfer and layoff, and each
requires that such decisions be based
upon the person’s individual ability and
merit, not on the basis of race, color.
national origin, religion or sex.
All four agencies recognize that goal-
and timetables are appropriate as a de
vice to help measure progress in remedy-
ing discrimination. Purthermore, a!
four agencies recognize the basic dis-
tinetions between permissible goals on
the one hand and impermissible quotas
on the other, Now to elaborate on these
points of agreement specifically.
In the employment context, a quota
would mean the upplication of a fixed
number or percentage of persons of a
certain group that would have to be
hired; the crucial consideration would
be whether the mandatory number of
HALE AND HEART — Leaders of CSEA's Audit and Control chapter share «
pleasant moment with CSEA executive vice-president Thomas McDonough, second
from left, at chapter's dinner-dance meeting last month at Polish Community Center
in Albany. From Ieft are chapter secretary Ann McMullen, Mr, McDonough, chapter
president Donald Ruggaber, delegates Paulie McDonough and Grace Fitanaurice.
persons had in fact been hired or pro-
moted, The fixed number would have
been derived from the population in
the area or some other numerical base,
regardless of the number of vacancies
or the number of potential applicants
who would meet necessary qualifica-
tions, If the employer failed to meet
the fixed requirement, he would be
subject to sanction, It would be no
defense, under a quota arrangement,
for the employer to argue that the
quota may have been unrealistic to start
with, that there were insufficient va-
cancies or that there were not enough
qualified applicants available although
he tried in good faith to obtain them
through appropriate recruitment meth-
ods.
A goal, on the other hand, is a
numerical objective, fixed realistically in
terms of the number of vacancies ex-
pected, and the number of qualified
applicants available in the relevant job
market assuming affirmative recruit-
ment efforts, An employer is not ex-
pected to displace existing employees
or hire unneeded or unqualified ap-
plicants to meet a goal. If the em-
ployer has demonstrated a good faith
effort in advertising and recruiting ell-
gibles under an affirmative action pro-
gram, but still cannot find enough qual-
ified applicants to meet his goal, he
is not subject to sanction.
Under a system of goals, therefore,
an employer is not required to hire a
person who does not have qualificaitons
needed to perform the job successfully;
an employer is not required to hire
an unqualified person in preference to
another applicant who {s qualified; an
employer is not required to hire a less
qualified person in preference to a bet-
ter qualified person, provided that the
qualifications used to make such re-
lative judgments realistically measure
the person's ability to do elther the job
in question, or other jobs to which he is
likely to progress. The term “less quall-
fled” and “better qualified” as used
here are not intended to distinguish
among persons who are substantially
equally well qualified in terms of being
able to perform the job successfully.
Unlike quotas, therefore, which call
for a preference for the unqualified
over the qualified, or of the less quali-
fled over the better qualified to meet
whatever |s the numerical requirement,
& goal recognizes that persons are
Judged on individual ability, and there-
fore the setting and fulfilling of goals
is consistent with the principles of
merit hiring.
In sum, goals, timetables and af-
firmative action programs are a pro-
cess designed to work toward the elim-
ination of discrimination by breaking
down barriers of habit, attitude and
training which prevent the recognition
of individual merit. Quota systems, on
the other hand, can actually take no
account of individual merit. Under the
quota system, the individual qualities of
particular employees virtually disap-
pear; what counts are those attributes
which the employee happens to share
with some larger group—even though
these attributes are unrelated to the
work in question.
Making all these distinctions work in
practice is bound to be delicate and
& difficult task. Dissatisfaction with
particular applications by one side or
the other is inevitable. This is the case
with most of the Important questions
of public administration in our com-
plex society. Determining just what con-
stitutes good faith, for example, can be
a subtle process involving highly sub-
jective considerations and difficult ques-
tlons of fact. But each day adminis-
trative officials must make thousands
cf controversial judgments concerning
other highly discretionary areas of so-
cial policy.
Tn the absence of sensitive adminis-
traiton, affirmative action plans can
quickly be transformed into de facto
quota systems. It is easy and tempting
for those who enforce such plans to
substitute arbitrary quantitative meas-
urements for more complex criteria in
measuring compliance, to give undue
weight to proportional representation in
working out goals and timetables, and
to allow the goal of advancement for
every person on the basis of individual
merit to yield to the effort to vindicate
group rights.
When these things happen, the reac-
tion is inevitable; resentment and re-
sistance builds against the whole idea
of affirmative action. It is seen as a
sham, a semantic trick for disguising
what turns out to be a quota system
after all, And out goes the proverbial
baby with the bath water.
Turning now to specifics, the question
ts this: when a state or local person-
nel system has been challenged on
grounds of discrimination involving
race, color, national origin, religion or
sex, and has been found by the EEOC,
the Civil Service Commission, the De-
partment of Labor, the Department of
Justice or the Courts as having in fact
used such discriminatory practices, what
are the proper remedies to be sought
elther administratively or in court?
In other words, in light of the pre-
vious general discussion of agreed prin-
ciples relating to goals and quotas, to
what extent should the responsible fed-
eral agencies attempt to intervene and
alter state and local government per-
sonnel systems? What specific steps
should they take or argue that courts
take in such interventions?
There are some cases where adminis-
trative agencies or courts find that the
patterns and practices of discrimina-
tion have been deep and persistent,
(The particular factual circumstances
are most important; no case stands
apart from the months and years of
history of personnel administration in
the particular state or municipality.)
The four Agencies—Justice, EEOC,
Labor and the Civil Service Commis-
sion—agree that if a state or local gov-
ernment's personnel system is adminis-
tratively or judicially found to be dis-
criminatory, that system must be
changed and that the following reme-
dies are appropriate means to do so;
First, where an individual person
has been found to be the victim of an
unlawful employment practice, he or
she should be given priority considera-
tion for the next expected vacancy,
regardless of his or her relative “abil-
ity ranking” at the time the new hire
is made—because were it not for the
act of discrimination, he or she would
in fat be on the job,
Second, affirmative action plans need
to be utilized to fill additional available
vacancies, and the key to such plans
is often un imaginative program of ad-
vertising and recruitment in order to
which had simply never been sought
out before.
Third, numerical goals should be util-
ized, the President having characterized
them as “an important and useful tool
to measure progress which remedies the
effect of past discrimination.”
Fourth, if necessary, it 1s appropri-
ate for @ court to order an employer
to make a good faith effort to meet the
goals and timetables, and for a court
to impose hiring goals on an employer
who has engaged in racial or ethnic
exclusion or other unconstitutional or
unlawful employment practices. In some
job classifications, in which the newly
hired person learns, on the job, the
skills required, and where there is no
extensive education, experience or train-
ing required as prerequisite to success-
ful Job performance, many applicants
will possess the necessary basic quall-
fications to perform the job. While de-
terminations of relative sbility should
be made to accord with required merit
principles, an employer should be ex-
pected to meet the goals if there is an
adequate pool of qualified applicants
from the group formerly discriminated
against from which to make selections.
If the employer in these circumstances
does not meet the goal, he has the
burden to justify his failure.
Fifth, the four agencies agree that
in state or local governmental employ-
ment cases where selection procedures
are alleged to be structured on a merit
basis, but are in fact discriminatory,
such procedures must be changed, The
state or local government will be ex-
pected to devise or borrow a selection
procedure which is as objective as pos-
sible, and is likely to be proved vald,
and is not likely to perpetuate the ef-
fects of past discriminaton, If the hir-
ing goal, referred to in Step Four, is not
being met because of this interim se-
lection procedure, that procedure and
other aspects of the Affirmative Action
Program will have to be revised and in
such s way that the procedures which
are used do not raise artifical or un-
necessary berriers,
Sixth, it is agreed that under any in-
terim selection procedures, it will not be
fair to impose on those persons who have
been excluded from employment be-
cause of past discrimination new tests
or standards more severe than those
used by the employer in selecting from
the previously eligible groups, unless
the new standards are required by busi-
ness necessity.
Finally, {t 1s agreed that administra-
tively or through the courts we will
urge and we will help the state or
local employer to develop a valid, job-
related, merit selection procedure as
rapidly as circumstances permit.
At the very heart of a merit system,
of course, {s 4 set of selection procedures
which allow applicants for a new job
or @ better job to be objectively rated
and scored, Once there are scores, there
4s a rank order “ladder” and merit prin-
ciples demand that the rank ordering
be respected. It is essential of course
that if such ladders are going to be
used in thut fashion, the tests or other
selection procedures on which those all-
important scores are based must be de-
void of discrimination with respect to
race, color, national origin, religion or
mex.
Tn the words of the Supreme Court,
the Civil Rights Act; “prosertbes not
only overt discrimination but also prac-
tees that are fair in form but dis-
criminatory in operation, The touch-
stone 1s business necessity, If an em-
ployment practice which operates to
exclude Negroes cannot be shown to
be related to job performance, the prac-
tice ts prohibited”
And, further, thet; “. . . good intent
or the absence of discriminatory intent
does not redeem employment proced-
ures or testing mechanisms that op-
erate as ‘built-in headwinds’ for mi-
nority groups and are unrelated to
measuring job capability.”
