lege here, should be given her an-
nual increment, and the unsat-
isfactory rating given her should
be annulled

against the firing of 171 County

Dec. 31 Deadline
For 55-Year Plan

Joseph F. Feily, president of
the Civil Service Employees
Assn., has written members of
the State Retirement System
urging them to note the dead-
line for joining the 55-year plan
and stating the reasons why
joining the plan is desireable,

His message declared:

to urge all members of the Re-
tirement System to join the new

Irving Flaumenbaum, chapter
president, laid the blame for the
firings “directly at the door of
County Executive Eugene Nicker-
gon” and said that the demon-
strations would be staged in front
of that door.

The firlngs came on the heels
of a budget dispute between
Nickerson, a Democrat, and the
Republican - controlied County
Board of Supervisors. The Board
had cut the annual budget by an
estimated $1.3 million dollars but
insisted that there were suffi-
cient remaining funds to operate
the County fully for the coming
year |

professional succinctness by L. Ly
L. Golden, who writes a monthly
PR column for the “Saturday Re
view":

“LIKE A CITY without a news-
paper or a radio or television sta-
tion, a corporation without effec-
tive internal communication 1s
filled with rumors, half-truths,
and misinformation, Just as the
urban dweller must be informed
of the actions of his government,
so must the employee understand
what the company he is working
for is doing, and why.”

IN RESPECT to internal com-
munications, government is no
different from a corporation,
Everyone would better under-
stand the importance of public
relations if they would think of
government as a Corporate enter-
prise. For example, you might
say that the government of the
City of New York is a $3.9 bil-
lion corporation—the total of ite
annual budget for fiscal 1965-66,

A MAJOR problem in gover
ment ts the lack of communica
tions between “upstairs” and
“downstairs.” Of course there are
some outstanding exceptions such
as New York City’s Department
of Purchase,

“PURCHASE NEWS" is a prime
example of what a major govern-
ment organization should use as

Could Have “Squeezed Through”

Flaumenbaum went on to say
Ghat the truly “cynical” nature
Of the Nickerson firings was un-
@erlined when Eugene Gibbons,
Commissioner of Public Works
and a Nickerson appointee, ap-
peared before the Board of Sup-

ervisors at a conference and
stated he could have “squeezed
through” next 3 without fir-

ing any men if none of the money
fn his department's budget were
diverted to other departments.

The CSEA chapter noted that
the amount cut from the budget
‘was slightly more than one-half
of one per cent of the total bud-
et, “Certainly,” he declared, “by
ome serious study of all depart-
mental needs, it would appear
that a very slight shaving of
funds from each of the agencies
could have provided the money
to keep these employees on the
job.”

FPlaumenbaum sald these men
would have been granted job
tenure if their employment had
continued past January 1.

“All in all,” Flaumenbaum con-
tinued, “there is no evidence other
than that these men have been
fired because of a political war.
As a merit organization we have
fio choice but to protest strongly
@gainst firing public employees
for such a reason.”

Constant Protest

He went on to say that “this
ehapter and its more than 11,000
Members intend to stage a series
of peaceful demonstrations and
to wage a continual program of
publicity before the public until|

being squeezed by political war-
fare." |
In addition to plans of protest
by the Nassau chapter, the Long
Island Conference of the Civil
Service Employees Assn., which
represents some 40,000 other
CSEA members, pledged not only
financial support for the Nassau |
CSEA campaign but also declared
{t would send members to par-
ticipate in the demonstrations.

Nickerson Statement

In a statement to The Leader,
Nickerson declared: A

“The Nassau County Board of
Supervisors without considering
the consequences to government
employees or to the county's
citizens, arbitrarily and irreapon-

Background Information:

The United States Civil Service Commission has re-
Jeased a memo on background information concerning Public

increased annuities for retired Federal employees. The fol-
lowing is the body of the Com-
mission's informational note:

‘The main objective of ti

A Judgement Against
State Civil Service

UPREME Court Justice P. Molinari of Binghamton has
rendered a ruling on job performance ratings that may

finally clear the air on one of the sorest points of employ-
ment in State service. Ruling on an appeal against punsh-
ment by a State University employee, Judge Molinari, in
essence, declared that a lack of any uniform standard for
performance ratings voided punitive action resulting from
a negative rating. 3

In the case at hand, the appellant was given an un-
satisfactory work performance rating on her job because of
extensive, but legitimate, absences although her actual work
performance was declared satisfactory. From then on, every
Tule of justice in the book was violated, The employee was
given no chance to review the rating with her supervisors;
she was given no copies of the charges until four days after
the deadline for an appeal was in effect and when she actual-
ly did appeal, had her case decided improperly. The require-
ment is that two commissioners of the State Civil
Service Department must vote to sustain or deny any
appeal. At this employee's hearing, only two commissioners
were present and the vote was one to one. Yet the poor
rating was ruled in effect,

In arguing the case for the appellant, Attorney William
Night noted that the section of the Civil Service Law deal-
ing with performance ratings has been in the statute books
in one form or another since 1917. The State University was
established by an act of the Legislature in 1948. Yet, in all
that time, “there is no showing, or even a contention that the
Civil Service Department inquired as to compliance by the

University of the Civil Service Law, or even of its own rules|

and regulations.”

Night declared that “criticism should not be limited to
the agency. The State Civil Service Department and the
State Civil Service Commission were, in many respects, even
more derelict in their effort than the State University of
New York.”

This is a serious statement, indeed. The Civil Service

Employees Assn. has for years sought to untangle the vague |

entuscement of job performance ratings and to deal with the

extreme applications of this section of the Civil Service|

Law, It appears that tle stage is now set for modifying job
performance ratings 41d eliminating their haphazard use in
State employment. it Is -ertainly incumbent on the State

Civil Service Department to join in taking the lead to settle
this issue once and for all.

‘Trial In Absentia

MAY A civil service employee be dismissed on charges
on which he is tried in absentia? This problem was resolved
by the Court of Appeals in Grottano v. Kennedy.

GROTTANO, A patrolman with 30 years of service in
the New York City Police Department, was suspended from
the force. Grottano had acted as a police escort to victims
of a holdup gang, Two members of the gang named him as
the “finger-man” in a series of payroll holdups.

GROTTANO FACED two sets of charges. The first and
Jess serious set related to failure to discontinue the escort
service when ordered to do so by his superior and to accept-
ance of gratuities for such service.

THE SECOND set of charges contained eight specifica-
tions alleging various criminal acts of supplying information
to holdup gangs and sharing in the proceeds of robberies.

‘WHEN THE date of the hearing arrived, the corporation
counsel requested a three week adjournment in order to com-
ply with a demand for a bill of particulars to be served two
weeks before the adjourned date. However, the corporation
counsel did not serve the bill of particulars until the post-
poned date for the hearing had arrived. The attorney for
the petitioner then asked for a two week adjournment so
that he would have a reasonable time to study the bill,
The trial commissioner denied the adjournment, and the at-
torney and the petitioner walked out of the hearing.

THE COMMISSIONER adjourned the hearing without
date and caused a third set of charges to be served charg-
ing insubordination for refusal to participate in the trial,

ON JULY 11, the date set down for trial of the insubdr-
dination and escort charges, the petitioner's attorney re-
quested the commissioner to grant a further adjournment
so that he could inspect certain departmental records. A
few days previously, the petitioner had applied for retire-
ment to take effect on August 2. With the obvious inten-

| tion of disposing” of the trial before then, the commissioner

denied the request.

AS FAR as the criminal charges were concerned, the
commissioner ruled they would be tried in a week after com-
pletion of the trial on the other two charges. Thereupon,
the petitioner's attorney declared his refusal to proceed with
the trial of any charges unless the criminal charges were
tried first or withdrawn. He stated:

Under these circumstances, may, I in all due re- %
spect to you, Mr. Commissioner, advise my client not

to participate in these proceedings, and we will take

leave and you may do as you see fit provided you

conduct this entire proceeding within his legal and
constitutional rights,

THE PETITIONER and his attorney left the hearing
room and the commissioner heard testimony on the insub-
ordination and escort charges. A week later the petitioner
was found guilty as charged and dismissed, .

IN SEEKING court review, the petitioner challenged his
dismissal on the ground that it was based upon a hearing
in absentia, The Court of Appeals, however, ruled that the
trial commissioner could take into account the petitioner’s
attempt to render the trial futile insofar as his pension was
concerned, The Court said:

A policeman may not walk out of a disciplinary
hearing to avoid a trial on the eve of his retirement,
and then claim that an otherwise lawful trial is
invalid because he was tried in absentia.
NEVERTHELESS, THE Court remitted the matter for re-
determination of punishment, This was done because the
charges of insubordination were unwarranted. It was an abuse
of discretion for the trial commissioner to order Grottano to
proceed to trial on the escort charges at a time when the
bill of particulars had just been served,

IN ANY event, the Court recognized that the action of
@ suspended police officer in disobeying the trial commission~ +
er’s order on advice of counsel cannot properly be made the
basis of a charge of insubordination, In ordering the petition-
er to proceed to trial, the commissioner does not act in the
capacity of a “superior officer."

‘THE PUBLIC policy behind this phase of the decision is
a wise one. To subject employees to discplinary proceedings

for refusal to obey the orders of the trial commissioner

would unduly hamper attorneys in defending their clients‘

against charges that are often serious, >

the cornerstone of its internal
communications. — Inexpensively
printed (by mimeo) but expertly
written, “Purchase News” tells
employees what's going on within
the department, what the depart-
ment do@s—by whom and where,
what is new, what's what and
who's who among the employees,
IT IS NOT a “puff sheet”,
It is an information bulletin,
which does precisely what it was
intended to be—to make employ-
ees of the Department of Purchase
more knowledgeable and more ef-
ficient in their jobs. Any pub-
Neation which can pass this test
is promoting good public relations.
IT HAS always puzzled us why
private business thought internal
communications important, while
government, only recently began
paying attention to this absolutely
indispensable tool of manage-
ment. Perhaps timidity had some-
to do with this attitude,
government executives have
no reason to be timid because
government business is the big-
gest business of all

new administration of the City
of New York will not discard
some of the intelligent innovations
which have marked many facets
of the current administration,
such as the development of bet-
ter internal communications,

thoroughly experienced execu
tives from private industry on
their backs before they could say,
“Why didn’t someone tell me

WE'RE TELLING you that the
balance of good public relations
in government depends on the
total awareness of “upstairs” that
there is a “downstairs”, and thas
efficient government is impossible

Metro Conference Hears ~
Three GOP Legislators’
Predictions On Pay Hike

Willowbrook State Hospital was the site of a recent meeting of the Metropolitan
Conference of the Civil Service Employees Assn. and three Staten Island Legislative attend-
ing the session had high praise for the work of the State's Mental Hygiene Dept. employees
and one of the lawmakers declared that “the State budget has the money to give you

people @ pay raise.”

Also attending the meeting and
principal speaker later in the
afternoon was Josepn F. Felly,
SEA president.

At the luncheon session, As-
semblyman Edward J. Amann, Jr.,
told Conference delegates that

‘the public 1g too often critical)

of state services, such as mental
hospitals, without being willing to
pay the bill for improved services
However, the State sales tax
should not only provide revenue
to give these services but also

per person, Applications and a
brochure describing the erulse
may be had by writing to Irving
Plaumenbaum, Box 91, Hemp-
stead, Long Island, or by calling

|

Assemblyman Lucio Russo
echoed Amann’s feelings that
there were sufficient funds for a
salary increase and declared “the
Legislature knows the dedicated
service being performed by Men-
tal Hygiene’ and other State em-
ployees and there ts every reason
to expect that this dedication will

be recognized in the form of a|
pay raise.”

An invitation to discuss em-
ployee problems “early in| the
session” was given by Senator
John J. Marchi. “We need time
to iron out difficulties and the
earlier you come to us, the sooner
‘we can get problems resolved,” he
said.

Feily On CSEA Future

Feily tok delegates later in the
day that CSEA representatives
were engaged on several fronts to
improve the future for both local
and state employees and to
strengthen the future of the
CSEA with imaginative approach-
es in services and programs.

The CSBA. president declared
that “salary negotiations are now
being held on an almost weekly
basis—sometimes twice a week—
and that results of meetings be-
| tween CSEA and the Administra-

tion would probably be announced
within a matter of weeks.”

Feily also showed delegates a
full-color drawing of the new
CSEA headquarters, construction
of which will start next Spring.

Salvatore Butero, Conference
president, earlier had introduced
the president of the host chapter,
William Roberts, and the hos-
pital’s director, Dr. Jack Ham-

mond, and business manager,
Ernest Palci, who welcomed the
delegates.

employee claimed “that no regu-

University.

In its answer, the justice sald,
the State argued “that the Rules
need not be in writing and that
petitioners’ absences hampered |
thé work of the College.” |

Justice Molinari ruled that,
“While the Court should not ob-

with cause, if a uniform stand-

port until four days after the

Night also maintained that
when the State Civil Service Com~
mission considered the originat
appeal from the unsatisfactory
rating, only two commissioners
were present at the hearing, and
that one commissioner voted ta
uphold the appeal while the other
voted to dismiss it. He contended
that two votes are required to
sustain any appeal.

Civil Service Law has been in the
statute books in one form or
another since 1917. This law re-
quires that standards of perform-
ance be established by the agen-
cies of the State of New York and
that these standards be approved
by the Civil Service Department.
The State University of New York
was created by an act of Legisia-
ture in 1948 and yet there is no
showing, nor even a contention
that the Civil Service Depart-
ment inquired as to compliance
by the University of the Civil
Service Law, or even of its own
rules and regulations,

“The rules of the Civil Service *
Commission require it to consider
and determine appeals from em-
Ployees from unsatisfactory per-

conceded that no appeal proced-
