During the last Presidential campaign, Vice-President Nixon In
& speech said the American workmen would soon work on a 35-hour |
work week. From another source, we learn that « bill will be Intro-
duced in the next Congressional seasion establishing a 35-hour week
for government employees, At present almost everyone in the United
Stats is working 40 hours or jess—that is, everyone except several
thousands of New York State's public servants who are still working
over 40 hours—some as much as 54. These workers are to be found In |
our Institutions, among the State Police, the workers at the Saratoga
Spa Authority, the public power plants, and elsewhere. |
Why do State officials continue to talk out of both sides of their |
mouths on the question? Publicly the Administration and the civit |
Service Department says the work week for state employees is 40
hours, Practically, we know, this is not true—and every Institution
employee, etc. knows it isn't true. The State may gain some credit
from the taxpayer who {s not acquainted with all the facts for pursu-
ing a liberal labor policy—but the State Administration ts falling far
short of pra from the state's employees who know the real nature
of things.
The work week in the United States at one time—in 1920—was |
55 hours ‘about what the Saratoga Spa employees work today) per |
week. It has dropped steadily to the present day.
There Is no good reason why the next legisiature should not put
everyone on the straight 40-hour week at the next session.

Politics Is Waning
In Civil Service Abroad,
UN Director
ALBANY, Dec, 24—The successofficials, administratively compe-
of the British and French civil
nervice systems through several
changes of administrative jeader-
ship has been cited as an example
of the recent advances In public
administration abroad.
Frederick J. Tickner, director of
the public administration division
of the United Nations Technical
Assistance Administration, dis-
cussed the subject in the graduate
Program in public administration
‘at a gathering In Aibany,
Mr. Tickner formerly was di-
rector of training and education
of the British civil Service.
Tn most part of the world, said
Mr. Tickner, there Is a growing
fonsciousness of the needs of pub-
Ne health and social welfare and,
consequently of an increane in the
notivities of government,
“In Europe,” he remarked, “im-
portant developments have taken
Place in ® number of western
countries, Perhaps the most in-
teresting has been the reassertion
in France and in the United
Kingdom of the concept of a ca-
reer civil service of well trained-

tent but politically neutral, in-
cluding the very highest sppoint-
ments.”
Old Colle; in United Kingdom
In France this idea has been
strengthenes by legislation almed
at maintaining the freedom of
the public service from political
influence and by the creation of
® National School of Admintstra-
tion,
‘In the United Kingdom the
prinzipe of & service independent,
of politics has long been main-
tained and was successfully re-
asserted when the first Labor Gov-|
ernment came into power after
the war,” he said,
“The fears that so great a po-!
litical change in government)
would lead to # series of resigna-
tions among top civil servants
have thus proved to be entirely
groundiess,”

exceeds 2,500,000 and is bound to rise sharply next year.
Several states no doubt will afford their employees
duality of benefits, New York included. What the effective
dates will be, and to what extent retroactive Social Secur-
ity benefits will be afforded, will not be known until state
legislation is enacted, In New York, as elsewhere, the em-
ployees will vote on acceptance or rejection, but in New
York, as in four other states and Hawaii, no employee will
be required to accept Social Security even if the general
vote is in favor of coverage,
Demand for Social Security coverage springs mainly
from appreciation of the benefits to survivors, Such bene-
fits are minimal in public employee retirement systems,
and consist almost exclusively of life insurance, perhaps
half a year’s salary; in the New York City government,
@ full year's pay.
The debate that still goes on, though with dimished
vigor, about the advisability of combining benefits, may
be expected to quiet down still more, as employees of the
New York State and local governments within the State
concentrate on the method of tie-in they prefer,
The social concept of Social Security is on an entirely
different basis than is the actuarial staff pension plan that
marks public employee retirement systems. The pension
aspect of Social Security, although important, is second-
ary to the benefits to survivors. Thus unselfishness marks
the major aspect of what proponents of Social Security
Inclusion earnestly seek.
The breadwinner who dies, leaving young children,
seldom bequeaths enough to support them, and when that
breadwinner is a public employee, it’s a case of even more
seldom. This it why public employees in particular
consider Social Security benefits so important.
Fast Remedy Needed
provision of the Conflict of Interest Law can be
so construed as to subject a Federal employee to
dismissal himself, just for helping a dismissed employee's
try to get reinstated. The Department of Justice has con-
strued the statute that way, and civil service lawyers say
that the opinion is fully supportable.
The petition to Congress for enactment of the over-
all law, the debates on the floor of the Senate and the
House, and the statements of the sponsors and intro-
ducers of the law contained nothing to Indicate any such
intention. Nevertheless the wording got into the bill,
and even one Federal employee who helps another in
an effort to have a pension increased could be penalized,
The U. 8, Civil Service Commission, the Department
of Justice, the American Federation of Government Em-
ployees (AFL-CIO), and the National Federation of
Federal Employees ave studying the subject with an eye
toward united support on proposed legislation to remove
the menacing provision,
Meanwhile, employees remain vulnerable,
At least it is to be hoped that no department will
seek to invoke the ugly provision, and no court before
which any such case might come will fail to invoke its
broad powers of construing a law, thereby taking in all
the surrounding circumstances to determine legislative
intent, instead of the narrower form, interpretation, that
als solely with the meaning of words,
Remedial legislation should be one of the first acts

TO THE EDITOR
HOW ABOUT THE SUPERVISED
RATING THE SUPERVISOR?
Editor, The Leader: .
Civil service commissions are
seriously interested in employee
evaluation reports. Continued em-
ployment and chances for promo-
tion are involved.
There appears to be no enthus-
tasm for employees rating their
supervisors, .
Top-level echelons are expased
to newspaper alertness as well as
to other comparable civic-minded
examination. Of more immediate
bread-and-butter concern to the
general civil service population
is the intramural preservation of
employee morale to promote max-
imum eMciency In tha public in-
terest.
Different in Civil Service?
It is doubtful whether private
industry could, would, or should
lend itself to analysis from within
and below. On the other hand,
elyll service is not a closed corpor-
ation.
We would expect supervisory
titles to be geared to an under-
standing of the need for, whole-
some personnel relations. Civil
service examinations can elicit the
fact that the candidate has cred-
itably absorbed acceptable text-
book thinking.
Some supervisory posts are de-
void of any insistence on mana-
gerial skill, The supervisor then
is one who, at most, has estab-
shed his wider technical profi-
elency. Of incidental importance
is the need to supervise the less
technically competent.
In his daily rounds, the super-
visor may indulge in consistent
disparagement. Some persons are
managerial bullies.
The Parallel Obligation
Shall the worker resign? Shall
the worker appeal?
‘The existence of a right be-
speaks a parallel duty, The right
to supervise implies the duty of
taking cognizance of the rights as
well as the duties of the super-
vised,
In any case, wild disapproval
of his superior by an unreason-
ably disgruntied worker would
quickly discover itself to be un-
true when read in the perspective
of the freely expressed thoughts
of his fellows, However, a con-
sensus of similarly disposed views
would afford more than abstract
food for thought,

Innocent Need Protection in Case
of Downgrading
THE STATE AND SOME local governments In the State; like
New York City, protect employees from the immediate effects of @{
title being downgraded, but the Federal gopernment has been slow
to exercise equal fairness, The idea that the employee must share thé |
consequences of his title has long been prevalent in the Federal gove
ernment. When downgradings were attempted last year, and eme
ployees were to suffer the immediate consequences, employee organe
fentions protested so vigorously and justly that some measure of
protection, based on length of service, was afforded, '
‘The Congress about to convene will have before It several billg
to prohibit reducing the salary of an employee pust because his title
has been downgraded, One will be « measure drafted by Represeny
tative John Lesinski (D., Mich.), a member of the Post Office and
Civil Service Committee.
An employee's salary should not be reduced even If his title is
downgraded. Moreover, the old device of using downgrading to punish
an employee must be abandoned. Punishment is personal, title is not,
Also, there are regular means of punishing employees, and before
any penalty is inflicted the accused should have a hearing and @
right to be represented by somebody of his own choosing, including
a union.
Downgraded employees whose salary is reduced suffer a penalty
without an opportunity to be heard. Such high-handedness is nod
the American way, nor should it be any government's way.
‘The public may suppose that if the salary of a worthy employee
is protected, even when his title is downgraded, that Justice has been
done. Under the competitive promotion system, downgrading Jeoparde
izen his future earning capacity, even when present pay is protected,
Future basic salary increases would come through promotion. Bu®
promotion to what grade? The one from which the employee's tithe
was downgraded, or even the one next below his previous grade? Also,
retention of existing pay may mean sacrifice of increments,
While the Federal goevrnment does not have a competitive exam
ination system for promotions, the adverse effect on a downgraded
employed is the same. One who must rely on the appreciation or the
favor of a department head ts at a sharp disadvantage If his record
shows that his title has been downgraded, ’
Total Ban Not Necessary
Many capable employees have been and are downgraded, even
though the percentage of titles that have been downgraded is small,
Some downgraded employees probably should have been upgraded pers
sonally, but. their title was downgraded impersonally. They cannot
separate themselves from their current title, save by reclassification,
and that, too, is impersonal, since it deals with type of duties and
not quality of work,
It Is not necessary to oust civil servico commissioners of thele
jurisdiction before @ suitable remedy can be provided. Duties of poste
tions do change. Occasionally a lower grade ts In order. The governs
ment cannot be asked to pay everybody who will ever acquire the
title more than the work justifies. Downgrading of a titte should
affect the pay of future employees only. Then let government take ite
chances on recruitment.
Government should not only protect its present employees agains§
immediate loss of pay from title downgrading, but the fact that @
title has been downgraded should not be allowed to militate against
an employee's future, In a competitive promotion system it would
be sensible even to permit his lowered title, in his case, to be an
eligible one for competition for promotion to the next higher grade
than the one from which his title was reduced, The exarination Tee
sult would become the proof capabilities. Increments should not be
interrupted by downgrading; pay of the top of the former grade
should remain attainable, {
Because of the complexity of the Federal Job structure, and the
special circumstances applying to some agencies and not others,
variety of promotion methods exists, none of them better than thi
competitive examination method. The day will come when the Pederat
government will adopt that method, but until it does, at least 1
should protect diligent and faithful employees to the limit, who are
cnught in a downgrading in which they would otherwise be punished
for their innocence,

Need For 40 Hour Week
In THE LEADER issue of November 15, 1955, Just a little over a
year ago, we did a plece entitled "Is the 40 hour week a thing of the
past", The statistical material on which we based the story was from
the United States Bureau of Labor Statistica® (an indisputably re-
Hable source) survey of the Metropolitan, New York City area.
In the same type survey for 1956 82% of the oMce workers sur-
veyed worked 3714 of less hours per week and 50% worked 35 hours,
We feel that this is an imposing fact.
Since 1965 the summary data by that same agency for the re-
maining 16 labor markets they regularly measure is now available.
While the figures are not quite so startling the trend is the same.
‘The scheduled weekly hour-all Industry-office worker-17 wrens com~
bined-figures show that 17% work 35 hours and 33% work 37'y hours
or lens,
The State of New York still has Mterally thousands of workers
working more than 40 hours on # non-yollintary basis, and as a con-
dition of employment
It spends millions (and rightly so) for modernization of plant and
equipment—highways, oMees, institution buildings, el. It should
modernize its personnel program in recognition of its most valuable
single asset—its work force.
