CSEA Urges All To Help

Pass Correction Officer
Pension Bill By Contact

Correction Officers and all civil service employees have been urged by the Civil Ser-
vice Employees Assn. to immediately write to legislators asking them to pass the CSEA
bill providing 25-year, half-pay retirement for uniformed Correction Officers.

A bulletin issued by CSEA last week declared:

Fi

Repeat This!

The Ball On Civil
Service Legislation

HILE the Legislature

continues on its turtle
pace in passing major legisla-
tion for any sector of the
public, Gov. Nelson A. Rockefel-
ler has grabbed the ball away
from the Democratic majority in
at least one major area—civil
service,

Part of the Democrats’ slowness
fs due, of course, to the late or-

“The Civil Service Employees
Assn. bill providing 25-year,
half-pay retirement for uniformed
correction officers is in the Civil
Service Committee of the State
Senate and the Pensions Commit-
tee of the State Assembly.

“We urge you to sit down NOW
and write your own local legis-
lators, the sponsors of the bill in
each house, end the chairmen of
the Senate Civil Serviee Commit-
tee and Assembly Pensions Com-
mittee, stating your need for this
bill and urging their wholehearted
support

“A separate measure also has
been introduced providing for

{ee of members of the Correction
Department.” This measure sup-
plements the 25-year retirement
bill by requiring separation from
service at age 63, It has grand-
father provisions for incumbents
and, since both measures are op-
tional, will only involve manda-

tory retirement for individuals |

the still prevalent lack of com-
plete party harmony there. What
to do with the Governor's pro-
posed budget is another sore
point among them. And this in
turn has a tendency to paralyze
positive action on any other
measures that will cost money.

All this has not kept Rocke-
feller from going full steam ahead
@m a program for the State's pub-
Me employces that, except for
the lack of a pay raise proposal,
leeeps up his record of steady
gains for civil service since he
first took office in 1958.

A Strong Program

To date, the Governor's 1965
State worker program includes
® non-contributory retirement
system (long a goal of the 130,-
000-member Civil Service Em-
ployees Assn.); the use of ac-
cumulated sick leave credits to pay
employees’ health insurance plans
after they retire (which solves
to a large degree a very big issue
with public employees); the right

for employees to vest their con-
tribution. in the State Retirement
System after 10 years service; a
reopening of the age-55 retire-
ment plan; a broad reclassifica-
tion in the State Mental Hygiene

|Dept., md a 10-month teaching
|schedule for institutional teach-
Jers. All this, by any standards, is

@ comprehensive employee pro-
gram that represents some im-
‘portant strides forward for State
workers.

Still Plenty Dems Can Do

‘There is still time for the
Democrats to pull even and there
are many major pieces of civil
service fegislation as desirable as
those listed above that could
provide a good public employee
record for the new Legislature
majority.

One t-ry big item fs still a sal-
ary increase and the CSEA, for
instance, has the documentation
and statistics to prove its case—
and need—for this measure. A

Pleces of legislation that could
clear up some very major irrita-
tions for employees in various
departments and agencies,

New York City employee groups
have a large number of bills they
want passed, mainly dealing with
retirement. Several seek 20 or
25-year pension plans. Others are
still vigorously seeking elimina-
tion of the so-called “death gam-
ble” element from their retire-

ment plans and are spurred on|

by the fact that other sectors of
public employment have accom-
plished this goal. Firemen organi-
tations desperately want some
recognition, via legislation, of the
relationship of thelr arduous jobs
to dangerous chest conditions—

the so-called “Heart And Lung’

bills.

At this writing the feeling
among a vast majority of public
employees is that the Democrats
will not end the session without
some important legislative
tures in their direction. But
eyes are beginning to strain for
signs of such action.

up to 60 cents an hour for the
same work being done in different
agencies,

‘The lack of uniformity, which
results from wage-setting by
many groups could be eliminated
if one agency were to set pay
rates for all blue collar workers,
according to the committee. The
Bureau of Labor Statistics was
suggested for this task.

The report just issued by the
| House Post Office and Civil
| Service Committee’s Manpower
Subcommittee noted that there
are two different systems for set-
ting blue collar pay rates within
the Defense Department alone.

As an example, there is a few
cents per hour difference between
rates established for Army and
Air Force employees and the rates
set for Navy workers.

The committee has studied the
| wage board increases for the last
20 years and have discovered
that wage board employees have

pay increase than classified em-
ployees.

Wage board employees have re-
ceived annual wages that have
kept pace with the cost of liv-
ing while classified employees have
received fewer raises which have
also lagged behind the cost of liv-
ing standard,

The subcommittee reports that
it has received numerous com-
plaints from classified workers in
the last few years that their sal-
ary incerases have not kept pace
with the cost of living or the in-
creases granted to the wage board
workers, Very few complaints were
received from the wage blue col-
lar workers during the same
period,

The committee questions wheth-
| er the wage board rates, which
| are reviewed and established an-

nually, based on surveys of rates
paid by industry in a labor mar-
| ket area, follow the prevailing

wage board rate principle re-
quired by law.

There ave indications that the
opposite is true and that Gov-
ernment blue collar pay rates may
be ahead of those paid of private
industry.

cluded that this situation may

to Dr, Stephen T. Possony of the

Gallagher, backed by Dr. Pos-

ployees pointed out further that

Everyone's Help Needed

NIFORMED State Correction Officers need the support

of all their fellow public employees at once in order to
help assure passage of their retirement bill which would pro-
vide half-pay after 25 years’ service.

There are many other employee groups who have the
same goal but, at this writing, the Correction Officer bill,
Sponsored by the Civil Service Employees Assn., is at the
most advanced stage and has the likliest chance of passage.
It goes without saying that their success this-year could lay
the groundwork for the same accomplishment by other em-
Ployees.

This is the time, then, when all public employees should
exercise the spirit of mutual assistance and contact their leg-
islators by wire, letter or in person to help a group of their
fellow employees get this well-deserved retirement benefit.

Doing The Job

IVIL SERVICE employees of New York City and spect-

fically those in the Transit Authority proved last week
that their jobs are most important.

A taxi slowdown immobilized about 8,500 cabs and the
public transportation facilities had to handle many more
people than they normally do.

As a commentator on television put {t, the only thing
that happened was that the streets of New York were less
congested and people still arrived at their destinations.

Your Public

Relations IQ

By LEO J. MARGOLIN

Mr, Margolin is Head of the Division of Business Aamin-
istration and Professor of Business Administration at the
Borough of Manhattan Community College and Adjunct Pro-
fessor of Public Relations in New York University's Gradu-
ate School of Public Administration.

How To Write By Writing

BY AND LARGE, writing within government isn’t bad —
it’s horrible. In fact, it is appalling, and the cause of more
snafus than are justified,

A CIVIL SERVANT or government executive without the
ability of putting one little word

after another to communicate a
thought, seriously affects the good
public relations of government.
IT I8 FOR this reason that we
fare devoting a second column to
the 60-page report by Lawrence R.
Klein, editor of the U.S, Depart-
ment of Labor's monthly “Labor
Review.” Mr. Klein spent a year
producing this gem, and the ob-
fective of this and last week's
column is to assure as much clr-
culation as possible to his find-

SINCE SO MANY of our read-
ers are teachers and school ad-
Ministrators, this column is de-
voted to Mr. Klein's startling as-
sertion:

“IF I HAD to point to the
Greatest single cause of unclear,

disjointed, and imprecise writing |

in Government documents, there
would not be much hesitation:
faulty and inadequate instruction
in English composition in the
American educational system.”

MR, KLEIN SAYS that the
British have done much better,
but even they are worried that
the simple technique of putting
lone little word after another to
make some sense, 1g deteriorating.

THE MAJOR shortcoming set
forth by Mr, Klein in the teaching
of English composition in Ameri-
can schools are these:

Letters To The Editor

Seeks Retroactive
Sick Leave Credit

Editor, The Leader:

I retired on mandatory retire-
ment after 45 years of service
with the State of New York's
Education Department and I
note that Governor Rockefeller
has said that he is for granting
sick leave benefits for retired
employees after July 1, 1965.

Now, why not make this a
retroactive matter. As in my case
I have over 200 sick days that
I left on my service card record
with the State Education Dept.
here at Albany. It would be an
injustice not to permit us on
retirement rolls to receive this
courtesy of sald benefits.

Stenographer's Gripe

Editor, The Leader;

I certainly feel that the steno-
graphers in State civil service
have received the run around for
altogether too long, and reclassi-~
fication of this group is deserving
of prompt attention.

The duties of a stenographer in
State service are unique in many
ways, especially those who work
in the treatment services. We
have to be familiar with the terms
and meanings of a variety of spe~
cial words used both in the medi-
cal and psychiatric field. Many of
us are working with foreign phy-
sicians, who are at times diffi-
cult to understand. When work-
ing in the physician's office, one
often comes directly into
contact with the patient, as well
as the patient’s relatives and a
stenographer must have the abil-
ity to handle these situations tn
an intelligent manner, for the
patient and the hospital. When
the physician in charge of a
service is absent on his pass day,
attending clinics, covering other
services, etc, we have to answer
the telephone calls received from
relatives etc. We have to know
where to refer these telephone
calls, if they cannot be answered
in the service,

I work in a continued treat-
ment service which averages 400
in patients, as well as patients on
convalescent care and family
care. The paper work alone is
tremendous, as well as the filing,
special reports, etc. When a pat~
Jent is considered for release
from the hospital, the case has
to be summarized and submitted
to the proper source for dispost-
tion. Then there are the follow-
up notes which have to be typed
on each record,

However, one of the most im-
portant features of our job, is that
it brings us into contact with
very private and personal infor-
mation pertaining to the patients
in our service, which is kept in
the strictest confidence,

I have taken and passed the
senior stenographer examination
for at least 15 years, with no op-
portunity to advance, I have
given up on this score,

Another point I would like to
make is that stenographers in
this hospital are working a 40
hour week, as compared with
stenographers in the same grade
working elsewhere. Something cer-
tainly should be fone about that,

Civil Service
Law & You

Guess Work Exams Ending

THE JUDICIAL history of Acosta v. Lang suggests the
time is close when civil service employees will no longer be
required to make a guessing game of the serious matter of
promotional examinations. This case, instituted by 53 New
York City police sergeant candidates for Court review of five
examination questions, resulted in an order by Justice Levey
directing a trial of the issue whether the Civil Service Com-
mission’s choice of answers was arbitrary and capricious,
Justice Levey's decision broke with many First Department
precedents that official answers were not reviewable when
there is support for such answers even when there is also an
equally reasonable or better basis for the petitioner's answers,

THE APPELLATE Division by order dated December 6,
1962, adhered to its traditional views, and reversed Justice
Levey in a memorandum opinion following that line of prece-
dents which made a guessing game of promotional examina-
tions, The Court rationale was well expressed in the following
language:

“So long as there is a fair and reasonable basis for the
commission’s action, the courts will not interfere even
though in their judgement or in the judgement of ex-
perts another of the listed answers would have been
equally or more acceptable as the proper answer to the
question ...”

FORTUNATELY, the case did not end with the Appellate
Division opinion. As a reversal was involved, an appeal was
taken as of right to the Court of Appeals, New York's highest
Court reinstated the Special Term ruling on the authority
of another line of precedents originating in Fink v. Finegan,
Readers of this column are aware that the Fink case struck
down a qualifying oral examination on the basis of which
the Commission found that the candidate lacked “force and
executive ability.” The Court of Appeals held:

“Where the standard or measure is wholly subjective to
the examiners, it differs in effect in no respect from an
uncontrolled opinion of the examiners and cannot be
termed competitive.”

REASONING that requiring the candidate to select one
of two correct answers deprives the examination of objec-
tivity, the Court of Appeals in the Acosta case affirmed that
the petitioner need not establish that there is no reasonable
basis for the key answer, but merely that the petitioner's
answer is at least as good. Stated otherwise, when there are
two equally acceptable answers, the official designation of
only one as the correct answer is arbitrary.

ACCORDINGLY, the Acosta case was tried before Justice
Gellinoff who directed the Commission ‘to accept alternate
answers to the questions involved, except for the one ques-
tion dealing with rape (question 77) which was ordered de-
leted. Again the Commission appealed, but the Appellate
Division by a three-to-two decision recently abandoned its
position of December 6, 1962 and affirmed Justice Gellinoff
on the authority of the Court of Appeal’s opinion in the case,
However, in separate dissenting opinions, the Justices Stevens
and Valente voted to vacate the judgement, Justice Stevens’
reasoning was that the petitioners had not established their
answers were as good as the key answers, Justice Valente
concurred, and even approved reinstatement of question 77
which had been ordered deleted because impossible of a cor-
rect answer,

QUESTION 77 gave credit for selection “C” which stated
that it “is not a misdeamnor of rape, when the female Is
under 18 years of age, even though she has consented to an
act of sexual intercourse.” As the Penal Law makes the crime
& misdemeanor when the male is under 21, it seems clear
that selection “C” is wrong, Yet, Justice Valente wrote that
“a more intensive analysis points to a correct solution” of
question 77, It may be that Justice Valente interprets selec-
tion “C” as correct because if the male is over 21, the crime
is a felony, However, I see no justification in the question
for making any assumption whatsoever concerning the male's
age.

TWO OF THE questions as to which alternative answers
have been deemed acceptable are:

subordinates on patrol in the best way to handle the

obsession, Regretably, it is about
all many secondary English
teachers know about English com-

“2, A DEFICIENCY of writing
practice. British teen-agers spend
a great deal more classroom time
in the actual practice of writing
than our children do at those ages.
‘Writing practice—and rewriting—
is the essence of learning to
write.

“3, A TENDENCY to assign
puertle writing subjects. Because
#0 many themes are written on
subjects like “My Favorite Movie"
or “How I Spent My Summer
Vacation,” we get high school
seniors composing sentences like
“My friends only dislikes action
pictures and neither does his
brother.” There is insufficient
training on subjects which require
the application of logic and the
organization and interpretation of
material.

“4. A FAILURE to carry the
aims and standards of a compo-
sition class to the writing required
in other classes. The quality of
writing tends to rise to the level
of demand for quality .. . The
indifference to quality of writing

in non-English classes is an es-
pecially grievous fault of the col-
leges ...

“5. A LACK of systematic read-
ing of literature, Almost as im-
Portant as writing practice is an
historical approach to English
and American literature . . . The
tendency today is to assign ex-

does not create respect for literary

Committee Reports

Program Outlined To Keep
Member Drive Strong

JAMES ADAMS and IRVING FLAUMENBAUM

Our Association pred to grow. The present total membership of 128,950, as of
February 26, 1965, is the highest ever.
The current total of our State Division is 92,859; County Division, 34,789; and we

have 1,302 associate members,

Our Committee had two lengthy
meetings since the annual meeting
in October and we discussed vari-
ous ways and means to increase
our membership strength. We re-
viewed membership reports show-
ing progress, or lack of it, in each

chapter, relative to membership)

growth. We discussed the mem-
bership effort with CSEA staff
to get their recommendations.
During the coming months we
hope to discuss membership ef-
forts in various chapters with the
CSEA field staff, and to mect
with representatives of specific
chapters to get a first-hand pic-
ture of membership problems and
the means of overcoming them.

Programs

Our Committee strongly recom-
mends as follows:

(1) Each delegate review care-
fully the membership report at-
tached which lists each chapter.
You can readily determine if there
is actually an active membership
campaign being conducted in each
chapter by observing the number
of new members received since
October 1 in proportion to the
number of non-members. Every~
thing must be done to get an
active membership campaign
started In every chapter which will
assure a personal canvass and re-
eanvass of each non-member, by
the chapter Membership Com-
mittee, to secure as many new
members as possible,

(2) The goal set by our Com-
mittee for the current year was
135,000 members. The goal set by
our Board of Directors in the cur-
rent budget ts 140,000 members,
There must be an active member-
ship campaign in every chapter to
Attain this goal. We lose 10 percent
of our membership each year due
to deaths, resignations, retire-
ments, etc. This loss must be
overcome before we can realize
any net increase,

(3) Emphasis be placed on im-
Portance of canvassing new em-
Ployees as soon as possible after
‘they enter public service. Compet-
ing employee organizations secure
most of their membership from
new employees before they become
fully informed on CSEA.

Payroll Deductions

(4) County Division chapters
Arrange for payroll deduction of
dues in each political subdivision
and for installation of low-cost
CSEA insurances as an attraction
to secure employee interest and
membership support.

(5) Arrange time at each chap-
ter and regional conference meet~
fng for a talk on the importance
of membership support by a com-
Potent speaker.

(6) Each chapter arrange
Juncheon or dinner meeting of
chapter Membership Committee
to discuss ways and means of
@ecuring members and to organize
the most efficient way to assure
@anvass and recanvass of all non-
Members by Membership Commit-
tec members who are aware of the
Value of CSEA and can adequately
xplain such value to the non-
Members.

(1) The photoslide presentation,
Prepared on @ professional basis,
to explain the program, services
and accomplishments of CSEA, as
recommended by our Committee,
is now being prepared, and will be
available for chapter meeting pro-
grams at an early date.

In assessing progress made by
each chapter relative to their
membership campaign as shown
on the attached report, each chap-
ter should keep in mind that the
total membership shown for Sep-
tember 30, 1964, does not take

into consideration the members
who have gone off the payroll
since that date due to deaths, re-
tirements, resignations, ete.

Our statewide Membership
Committee compliments our chap-
ter officers and committees and
our staff and our members
throughout the State on our
steady progress as to membership
growth and we hope that with all
of us in CSEA working together
during the coming months we will
attain the membership goal for
1965 referred to herein,

The points include;

© A five percent increase across
the board for all;

© Guaranteed yearly increment
of $200;

© A five percent retirement plan
to be picked up by the school
district;

© Either Washington's or Lin-
coln’s birthday off, whichever one
is a non-school da;

© Overtime at the rate of $2.75
per hour;

® School district to pay for all
uniforms due to the fact that it
is advertising our district;

© Sick leave to comply with
that of the teachers;

Fight Point Plan Sought

School Board Employees

ARLINGTON, March 29 — Robert Tuczynski, president
of the Arlington unit, Civil Service Employees Assn., has
presented to the Arlington Central School Board, on behalf
of the membership, a resolution requesting action on eight
pee to benefit the non-teaching personnel of the district.

Grievance Committee
Cites New Advances

By RANDOLPH JACOBS, Chairman
The Grievance Committee met in Albany on the after-
noon of Jan. 22 and for several hours reviewed and discussed
matters within the province of the Committee.
1, The Committee discussed the delay in printing and

distribution of the grievance
pamphlet entitled. “If You Have
A Grievance.” President Feily in
& letter dated Jan. 6 to all chap-
ter presidents explained that the
delay was due to the Grievance
Appeals Board not having arrived
at a decision in reconsidering its
removal from the regulations of
the time limit imposed on agency
heads to render a determination
when a grievance reaches that
stage. Printing was held up pend-
ing @ decision by the Board on
this matter so that the pamphlet
could then be up-dated. The
matter has since been resolved,
and sufficient quantities of the
pamphiet should at this time be
in the hands of the chapters, The
committee regrets the delay but
hopes that now that the pam-
phlets have been delivered, the
chapter officials will effect prompt
distribution to all members. An
additional supply, if needed may
be obtained by addressing your
request to headquarters.

2. The committee, further, sug-
gests that staff look into the
feasibility of including a copy of
the grievance pamphlet in the
“Welcome New Employees” kit,
periodically distributed to the
chapters.

Favorable Action

3. The committee ts pleased
to report that the Grievance Ap-
peals Board has acted favorably
in response to our strong protest
regarding the deletion of time
limitation on agency heads in
giving notice of determination.
The Board, moreover, at our re-
quest, has placed a time limita-
tion on itself. We quote from a
memorandum sent to Grievance
Procedure Administrators of state
agencies by the Grievance Appeals
Board, and we suggest that chap-
ter officials make careful note:

“Notice of determination of
agency head within

1, 15 days of the receipt of a
request for review in cases where
no hearing is requested or held;

2. 30 days of the date of hear-
ing where a second-stage hearing
fs held.” (Adopted December 19,
1964)

In addition, Subdivision 5 of
Regulation IV “Appeals” is modi-
fled to read as follows:

“Determinations of the

Board shall be made within

45 days after the Board's

hearing or the date fixed

for submission of briefs or
supplemental statements re-
quested by the Board. The
employee, his representative
and the head of agency con-
cerned shall be notified in

‘writing of the decision of the

Board. A copy of the decision

shall be filed with the presi-

dent of the Civil Service

Kasson Aids Dinner

SYRACUSE, March 29—Arthur
Kasson Jr. president of Onon-
daga chapter, Oivil Service Em-
ployees Assn., 1s ® member of the
committee planning a dinner hon-

‘The dinner will be held March

$1 in Syracuse,

Commission.” (Adopted De-

ember 19, 1964)

4. The committee recommends
that copies of the Grievance Ap-
peals Board Regulations, adopted
February 28, 1964, and its amend-
ments be printed and forwarded
to each chapter president for
guidance and use.

5. The committee applauds the
action of the Board of Directors

and of the delegates at the Octo-'se

ber, 1964 Annual Meeting in
adopting a legal program which
gives full legal representation to
our members in disciplinary hear~
ings and grievance actions, This
is an area which the Grievance
Committee has fought for many
years and desires to express its
satisfaction that these goals
have been achieved and its unre-
mitting efforts brought success
ful fruition,

Chapter Officer
Manual Updated

By CELESTE ROSENKRANZ
Chairman

The Education Committee
is pleased to note that the
new Chapter Officers’ Man-
ual, which was distributed to all
incumbent chapter officers at the
time of the annual meeting last
fall, has been received favorably
throughout the Association. Ap-
proximately 1,000 manuals were
sent throughout the Association,
It should be pointed out again
that all chapter officers are re-
quired to pass their copies of the
manual to succeeding officers.

‘Three main sections of the man-
ual already are in need of up-
dating because of changes in
CSEA or State rules, regulations
or programs, The three sections
include the State Grievance Ap-
peals Board, the State Attend
ance Rules and CSEA’s Special
Legal Program. In addition, some
slight changes in other sections
in the manual also are needed.

By the time this report is in
the hands of delegates to the
March meeting, it is hoped that
headquarters will have all of these
changes ready for distribution to
chapter officers who have copies
of the manual. Instructions on in-
serting the changes into the man-
ual will be included.

At the same time, inserts ex-
plaining various State and CSEA
Programs, such as the State
Health Plan, CSEA’s accident and
health and Mfe insurance plans
and others, will be supplied for
insertion in the manual.

‘The committee will recommend
updatings and other changes from
time to time in the future as
they are needed, It would also
like to call to the attention of all
members, chapters, conferences
and officers the need for their
continuing cooperation in keep-
ing the manual as up-to-date as
Possible.

At its last meeting, several
Weeks ago, the committee voted to
commend the OSHA staff and all
those who helped with the man-
wal for the “professional and
overall excellent job which was
done on the Chapter Officers

Manual.”

Erie CSEA Pushes
Personal Leave
For Buffalo Aides

(From Leader Correspondent)

BUFFALO, March 29—A
law giving Buffalo's 6,000 City
employees up to five days
“personal leave” each year
goes before the Common Council
this week.

The Competitive unit, Erle chap-
ter, Civil Service Employees Assn.,
has requested the legislation
since 1963,

“State and Federal workers have
had this provision for many
years,” said Alexander T. Burke,
president of Erie chapter, “and
it's about time Buffalo employees
had the same benefits.”

Delay Unexplained

The Buffalo Council on Novem-
ber .12, 1963 directed the Law De-
partment to prepare a change in
ordinances to provide the leave.
The delay in writing the change
Was not explained,

Councilman-at-large Stanley
|M. Makowski, who sponsored the
1963 action after recommenda-
tions by the CSEA; indicated the
Council will investigate Federal
and State regulations before act-
ing on the CSEA request,

The law would permit em-
ployees to use “personal” leave for
personal business and would not
affect existing sick leave or vaca-
tion benefits.

Mileage Rates

(Continued from Page 1)
conducted recently by the Ameri-
can Automobile Assn.

In his request to Levitt, CSEA
president Joseph F. Feily cited the
AAA evidence which supports the
case for the eleven cent mileage
allowance. He said the results of
the survey made by the Auto As-
|soctation indicate that the present

mileage cost of operation of a
| medium priced, eight cylinder,
| tour door sedan is 11.6 cents per
j mile,

| Feily sald this ts “considerably
more” than the State allows and
|"we hope the information will be
brought to the attention of the
|special mileage study committee
for consideration,”*

| Feily termed the present nine
cents per mile as “not sufficent’
and asked that the State increase
the rate to eleven cents per mile,

Civil Service Labor,

Service Employees Assn,

In a meeting with Syracuse
Mayor William F, Walsh, a com-
mittee headed by Arthur Kasson,
chapter president, protested any
planned cut and asked for a clari+
fication of the City’s sick leave
policy.

Kasson was accompanied by
Leona Appel, first vice president
and presidential nominee of the
chapter; Genevieve Paul, second
vice president nominee; Mrs, Hel-

Lee Smith. All except Kasson are
City employees.

“A principal question to which
the committee seeks” an answer is
how the sick leave is to be figured,
| Kasson said.

At the rate of five working days
& week, the cut would reduce the
maximum accumulated sick leave
by eight weeks, he explained. If
figured at the rate of seven days
a week, the possible reduction
would be almost six weeks, he
said.

Effect On Older Aides

Miss Appel said the chapter also
{fs concerned greatly with the
effect of any reduction on “the
majority of older employees who
have made an effort to accumu.
late the maximum total possible
to use in the event of major
illness or serious accident.”

She and Kasson said the chap-
ter ts prepared “to go bat im-
mediately” against any plan to
reduce the accumulated sick leave
of employees who already have
accumulated the maximum 140
days or time over the contem-
plated new 100 day maximum,

The City's 140-day maximum
sick leave plan has been in effect
since 1950,

Under the plan, City employees
with six months to three years
of service can have or accumulate
one week of sick leave in a calen-
dar year; those with three to six
years, two weeks; those with six
to 15 years, three weeks, and em-
ployees with 15 or more years four
weeks of such leave annually,

Mayor Walsh plans to look into
the sick leave problem and find
answers to the employees’ ques-
tions, the chapter officers said,
