Employee

This continues the 1952 report
of Jesse B. McFarland, President
of the Civil Service Employees
Association, which was begun in
last week's LEADER, The first
segment of the report dealt with
the merit s:
competitive class, the matter of
adequate salaries, and retirement.
RELATIONS

At the urging of our Association,
the State of New York joined
|some other jurisdictions in pio-
|neering in the field of collective
negotiation covering employee
complaints and grievances. Go
lernor Dewe: executive order of
February 1950 sought to provide a
sound plan of dealing with those
employment conditions not al-
ready covered in provisions of the
civil service or other laws. The
procedures outlined in official
rules have not been used to the
extent expected. The reasons for
this which have been brought to
the attention of the Association
have principally to do with the
| burdensome and time consuming
steps provided in the rules before
final decision is reached. It is felt
jthat the procedures required in-
vite discrimination and reprisal
to the employee. The prompt ex-
amination of a complaint or griev-

prime essentials_in any effective
plan dealing with personnel rela-
tions. The guidance from the top
and the respect engende:

have been lacking in a major de-
gree in the present plan. The board |
is a fluctuating one. The Chair-|
man’s position has now become
part time, The independence

complaint or grievance usually

dgment of the management
_ convinces
that the settlement of complaint
or grievance should be dealt with
by an entirely independent
agency
‘The Association must ask for
improvement of the present plan
That an independent agency for
collective negotiation, with juris-
diction over differences which
|occur in employer-employe rela-
tions beyond those now covered in
the executive order, with adequate
assurance of permane
functioning to a serviceabl
gree for employees in civil. divi

executive and administrative off-
clals to bring about a maximum
straight forty hour, five day week,
The efforts of the Association
|throughout the years are wholly
responsible for shorter hours and
improved leaves — up until 1936
the work week in institutions was
72 hours per week — up, until
1941 there was no definite sick
leave by rule having the force of
law — up until 1947 there was no
overtime pay for the sixth day of
work — and indifference to time
credit for overtime and leaves was
general throughout many services,
The public service cannot suc-
cessfully compete in our present
society and still maintain th» long
week. There is some hollowness to
the executive and legislative re-
jection thus far of our plea for the
maximum forty - hour, five - day
week. It does not ring ‘true with
progressive employment _ policy,
Our plea is sound and right and it
must soon prevail.
The Association's Committee on
Attendance Rules has appeared
before the Civil Service Commis-
sion to submit requests of our
membership for a 374 hour week
for administrative workers in in«

Employment Interviewer
“pale Cpe for $69 Jobs

An exam for filling Jobs as em-
poet interviewer, Division of

#iployment, State Department of
Labor, is now open. The pay is
$3,571 to start and rises, in five

nnual increments, to $4,372.

ese figures include the cost-of-
living adjustment.

About 150 vacancies are expect-
ed in Metropolitan and upstate
offices.

Graduation from a standard
senior high school is the minimum
educational requirement. Even
though all who apply will be ad-
Witted conditionally to the writ-
ten test, to be held Saturday, Jan-
uary 10, anybody who's not a high
school graduate will not become
an eligible.

+ In addition, there are experience
requirements, which become less
and less as the educational attain-
ment rises. Graduation by June
30, 1953 from college, with a de-
gree, eliminates any need for gen-
eral (business) experience, and
reduces the specialized experience
to one year, Obtaining a master's
degree by the same date, if in ac-
ceptable major, dispenses with
the need of any experience,
Satisfactory Equivalent

Also, combinations of education
and experience that do not fit ex~
actly into this pattern, but add up
to an equivalent credit, wit meet
minimum requirements. The State
Civil Service Commission will de-
termine what comparable educa-
Leg and experience are accepta-

le.

As to those whe have only a
high school diploma or will have by
June 30, 1953, the general (busi-
ness) experience requirement is
five years, and it must have been
paid and full-time. At least one
year of that experience, not neces-
sarily continuous, must have in-
volved personal contact with em-
ployees, employers or the general
public, in obtaining information,

Specialized Experience

The specialized experience —
involving the described contacts —
must have been gained within the
10 years preceding the date of ap-
plication, and must have been in
one or more of the following
fields:

1, Labor or industrial relations,
public or private employment ser-
vice, personnel administration,

2. Interviewing, classifying. or
counseling for vocational rehabl-
litation in the armed forces when

ALBANY, Nov, 3—There will be
a new chapter of the Civil Service
Employees Association in New)
York City,

The Board of Directors granted
Approval to the Employment Sec-
tion of the DPUI to split away
and form its own chapter, The
Board, acting at its meeting on
‘Thursday, October 30, thus gave
its decision on a matter that has
festered for a long period, has
been before the Board since Inst
June, and was explored by several
committees especially set up for
the purpose. The special commit-
tee report recommending approval
was read by Estelle Rodgers, it
chairman.

The new chapter announced
that it is immediately recruiting
members within its jurisdiction;

.}and that those seeking informa-

tion could contact Alfred Rein-
hardt at the 40 East 59th Street
(NYC) office,
The Debate

‘The Board's action came after
strong debate between Grace Nul-
ty, who admitted that she had
spearheaded the drive for the new
chapter; and Albert Corum, Jos-
eph A. Oster, and Henry Shemin,
all speaking for the N¥C Chapter.
Mr. Oster was proxy for Solomon
Bendet, NYC chapter president,
who was ill.

Miss Nulty argued that the NYC

CSEA Board Approves
New Charter in DPUI
For Metropolitan Area

chapter had not grown over the
years, that it had. not provided the
services needed by the members
in the Division of Placement and
Unemployment Insurance,
membership growth in that divie
sion depended upon formation of
@ separate chapter, that a petie
tion showed the vast majority of
members on the Employment side
wanted their own chapter.

Mr, Shemin, Mr. Corum and
Oster argued that the proj
chapter was really a “title” groups
representative primarily of ems
ployment interviewers, that
splitting off of such groups

ts} have weakening effects upon

Association, that the NYC body is
able to mobilize a large variety of
employee talents for all kinds of
projects, that the DPUI has seg-
ments which are Gnrepresented in
the new chapter, that the petition
to which Miss Nulty referred was
invalid, and that the splitting
lead to still further divisions.
was also hinted that this was not
the end of the controversy,

by a substantial majority—30 to
—to approve the recor
of its committee, It approved al
& motion to advance $150 to
new chapter when its chapter is
approved.

AT LAST Ti

ALBANY, Nov. 3 — Well, gals,

it’s finally here. If you're a fe~
male attendant in the State Men-
tal Hygiene Department (there
are 5,000 of you), here at last is
the figure-flattering uniform that
a three-man committee — par-
don, one man, two dames it was—
came up with, It’s supposed to be
the answer to what a girl wants to
wear on the job.

Mrs. Margaret M. Farrar (she
looks good in any kind of clothes)
was chairman of the Special Com~-
mittee on Attendants Uniforms

attendants complained that Leon
older uniform clung too
ly to certain portions of the ana-
tomy, that it wasn’t easy to keep
clean, and had certain other ob-
jectionable features.
So They Went to Work

Well, gals, the committee went
to work scientifically. They asked
questions, looked over all Kinds of
uniforms, measured lots of fe-
males, got al the sources of the
complaints. What follows is the
committee's own report, as pre-
pared by Mrs. Farrar, who doubles
as public relations chief for the
State Mental Hygiene Department,
“We came back to Albany final-
ly with pages of notes, a pretty
definite idea of what was wrong,
and a mental picture of the uni-
form everybody wanted.
“Well, we've been working on
it ever since. We talked to the
manufacturers and they very
kindly tried out our ideas by mak-
ing up sampies, We didn’t get it
on the first try — or the second.
But we finally came up with a
uniform that we think will look
well on every type of figure (see
pictures!) and will be comfortable,
practical, modern and attractive.

“Now do we think any one de-
sign will

satisfy 5,000 women?
illy! We do think this
as we can come, It has

we got avas “possibly up to a dol- |

which this best quality material
gives will more than make up for)
any difference in price.

upward revision of titles,

ALBANY, Nov, 3 — In comment-
ing upon a proposed survey of the
salaries paid 43 State titles as
compared with similar jobs in pri-
vate industry, J. Allyn Stearns
stated that such a study would be
valid only if the right kind of

employers were surveyed. Mr,
Stearns, 3rd vice-president of the
Civil Service Employees Associa-
tion, l¢ the statement at a
pane ussion on salaries during
the recent annual meeting of the
Civil Service Employees Associa-
on, He did not, as was reported,
tate that udy would be
valid only if “the right kind of

people” made it
r, Stearns’ point was that the
ction of employers in a study

ol

determines the salary lévels ab
|which the susyey is aimed. For
example: “good” employers used

a higher salary level than will
out question that higher salary
levels attract a superior type of
employee. And, holds Mr. Stearns,
if the State is to retain its present
employees and attract others of

equally high type, it must estab-| ,

The New President
And the Merit System

A’ this issue of The LEADER goes to press, the nation
is preparing to ballot for a new president. The cam-
paign has been a fierce one, encompassing many issues
and pseudo-issues. One tremendous factor in the conduct
and operations of government has, however, been lightly
skimmed. That is the civil service.

The platforms of both political parties had state-
ments dealing with the merit system: they are “for”
But in the talk of corruption, of malfeasance in office, of
governmental operations good or ill, that thundered out
of campaign headquarters, an air of unreality prevailed.
And our new president, who must deal with reality, is

now confronted with problems for which he together with
the 83rd Congress must find successful answers.

What will be done about the merit system? How will
it be strengthened? What will be done to attract superior
persons to Federal service and hold them there? How
will government employment be plucked out of the mire

inc.
BEekman 3-6010

of criticism that has engulfed it? Will the second-class-|

citizen provisions of such laws as the Hatch Act be
allowed to remain on the books? What will be done about
the aura of fear that hangs over many Federal employees,
never certain when the next blow will strike down their
reputations or their ability to earn a living? What de-
fenses will be erected to protect them from whimsical
charges by vicious men?

The next president must think about such matters as
unemployment insurance for public aides, modern labor
relations machinery, promotions by merit.

Security for Federal employees goes along with a
deeper vista of a career service, which must be developed
in the United States,

Legitimate Demands
Of Armory Men

ew York State’s armory employees perform duti
ich take on growing stature in these sensitive
days. The work is difficult, the hours often long, and the
responsibilities increasingly heavy. While they are civilian
workers, these men operate under the State Military Law,
not the Civil Service Law. Thus, certain prerogatives for
appeal and redress are unavailable to them. United, they
have inched ahead in recent years, winning improve-
ments both of pay and working conditions. But there is
still much that must be done. The armory men are a tough
group, and know how to put up a good fight with courage
and dignity. They have not hesitated to use the legislative
means available to them. Last year they failed in ob-
taining increases particularly needed in the classes of
armorer and armory engineer. Their pay is fixed by
statute. They didn’t seek overwhelming amounts, When
they put the bill into the Legislature this year, the amounts
will again, we learn, not be heavy. The State can do no
less than see to it that the men aren't required to put up
a battle for rates of pay that should rightfully be theirs.
It would be an act of wisdom if the administration would
place its approval on the requests of the armory men, 80
that a legislative battle won't develop out of a legitimate
set of wage and title requirements.

THOSE “infallible” machines which the State Civil Service Com-
mission uses to grade tests with aren't so infallible. A checkup of

No great controversial problems in view to keep legislators tied up,

for it. These men are employed, under an archaic system, by custodi+
ans under contract, The custodians, notoriously not enlightened em-
ployers, get a lump sum for their operation. They don't want to pay
a share for the Health Insurance Plan contributions. The City, on the
other hand, says the-janitors and cleaners are employed by the cus
todians, not by the City — so why should the taxpayers stand the
burden. Meantime the lowly custodial workers are denied the advan-

Classification and Compensation
Division with appeal to the State
Classification and Compensation
Appeals Board.

Recognizing this, the Associa-
tion has encouraged various
groups who have felt that their
work entitled them to greater re-
muneration to seek reclassifica-
tion or reallocation, We have like-
wise worked with them in the
Preparation of briefs to establish
the reasonableness of their re-
quests, Association representatives
have appeared at hearings ac-
corded the various groups by the
Director of Classification and
Compensation. This is a very im-
portant service and one that is
welcomed by the members and
often fruitful to them.

Appeals now before the Classi-
fication and Compensation Direc-
tor include those of the attendant
group of the Mental Hygiene In-
stitutions numbering nearly 12,000,

the stenographic group of more

than 4000, the key punch opera-
tors, the attendants at Danne-
mora and Matteawan State Hos-
Pitals, the women who guard wo-
men prisoners at Albion and West-
field, institution industrial shop
workers, and a number of others,
all supported vigorously by the

Association. We have definite be-| be

lef that the constant adjustment

State salaries to prevailing
standards of living and living
Costs should be a deep and con-
stant study with collective nego-
tiation and employee participation
to the end that state salaries
would never lag as they so often
do below salaries elsewhere, and
also that appropriations should be
available to pay just salary in-
creases when such salary increases
are indicated rather than after
the need has long been recognized
and awaiting an annual executive
budget and its approval by the
Legislature. This is an outstand-
ing problem, the settlement of
which on a fair basis is another
responsibility of our Association.

MORE AID FOR LOCAL CIVIL
SERVICE

The thousands of civil service
employees in county, city, town,
village and district government
throughout the fifty-seven coun-
ties open to membership in our
Association, have tremendous need
for expert personnel administra-
tion to assure sound selection and
Promotion procedures and also to
establish salaries and employment
conditions stimulating to
maximum of efficiency, The 39
counties that now have Chapters
in the Association have oppor-
tunity to initiate and promote
Programs and to make effective
&@ppeals to boards of supervisors,
common councils and village
boards entirely absent where there
is no organization.

From the beginning, the Asso-
ciation has realized and so stated
that membership of local em-
Ployees in their Association was
@$ necesssary to successful pleas
to officials as was membership by
state workers. I am glad to report
@ substantial gain in membership
in the county chapters, The at-
tendance and the interest in the
monthly meetings of County Exe-
cutive Committee is increasing
rapidly and this augurs well for
greater accomplishment.

I urge strongly that we increase
our appeal to the Governor and
to the Legislature to provide more
adequately for the Municipal Civil
Service Bureaurof-the State De-
oka of Civil Service so that

hey may have a staff ample to
maintain close laison ‘with local
ctvil service commissions and bring
about the adoption of and adher-
ence to comprehensive rules to in-
crease the prestige and the per-
formance of local civil service
commissions upon which the de-
Velopment of a real merit system
in local government depends,

SUPERVISION
IN-SERVICE TRAINING

We cannot be satisfied with less

than the maximum of efficiency in

our examination and promotion
system. And hand in hand with
recruitment of able men and wo-
men goes the tratning in govern-

ment which is so logical a means
to creating and maintaining ini-
tiative and efficiency in govern-
ment, Here again we must urge
ev financial support

ice training division and its
extension to all units of govern-
ment.

OUR INSURANCE PLANS

We may well be proud of the
Sexvice and savings to our mem-
bers through the Association
sponsored insurance plans. Inci-
dental as they are, of course, to
the major objectives of the Asso-
Clation, they nevertheless supply

the}

of the)

ve thousands valuable protection
at a much lower cost and greater
convenience, than our members
could enjoy elsewhere.

The officers and Committee on
Insurance have been constant in
their efforts to provide the best
and the most economical coverage
as to life and accident and sick-
ness,

Our Group Life Insurance was
improved effective November 1,
1951, by providing waiver of
premium for members who be-
come totally disabled prior to age
60, in addition to the continuance
of valuable extra benefits added in
recent years without increase in
premiums.

The Accident and Sickness Plan
was improved last November by
increasing regular sickness bene-
fits 5 per cent and accident bene-
fits 15 per cent, without increase
in rates. The benefits previously
secured in recent years were con
tinued,

More members in both plans
than ever before testifies to the
appreciation of state employees of
this fine service afforded only by
the Association.

We are diligently negotiating
with the State Comptroller to gain
payroll deduction for Blue Cross
and Blue Shield benefits as a
greater convenience to our mem-
rs,

DEVELOPMENT OF GOOD PUB-
LIC RELATIONS

Someone has said that “Our best
relations are our public relations.”
The Association has long recog-
nized the value to its program of
making known the fundamental
objectives of that program. We
are dedicated to good government
not through selfistness but be-
cause every civil servant has a
close and unique responsibility to
foster good government. Because
we are unselfishly devoted to good
government, the most critical tax-
payer and the most generous civic
worker have a kinship with the
civil servant. We ought to be ac-
tively working together. And that
is just what we are seeking avidly
within our means to develop
through our Director of Public Re-
lations, our officer and committee
structure, and our whole head-
quarters staff.

Tenure, salary, privileges of the
civil service employee are very in-
timately related to the executive,
legislative and administrative at-
titude toward employees and this
is where good public relations
which inform as to our program
and identify it with public interest
has a wholly justifiable selfish
| value.

We believe that our own mem-
bership must be made conscious
of their part in good public re-
jJations as well as the general pub-
lic. We are getting on we.| toward
earning public understanding of
our ideals and this is the first
step toward earning public accep-
tance of our program,

A few of the major contacts
through our organized public re-
lations work have been arrange-
ment for many talks to civic and
business organizations’ on civil
service topics, the State Pair Ex-
hibit viewed by most of the 400,-
000 Fair visitors, and Art Shows in
Albany and New York City which
gave opportunity for expression of
wonderful talent in the civil ser-
vice body amd also thrilled many
siueeens who visited the affairs, 45,-

000 pieces of literature prepared
by the Director of Public Rela-
tions to arouse public interest in
their civil service were distributed.

We are seeking out the “man-
power” within Association ranks
along various social and civic lines
with the certainty that other lines
of human interest can be opened
up and add to the breadth and
zest of living. We believe that our
Association can develop these
felis as well or better than any
other Association to which. the
employee belongs, Of course, the
success of this feature of Associa~
tion activity depends upon the co-
operation of membership every-
| Where and we solicit this with the
| promise of disidends in personal
satisfaction not realizable where
personal effort is not a part of the
project.

CONFERENCE AND CHAPTER
ADVANCES

We now have 133 state chapters
ani 39 county chapters, These
|chapters began with a single
chapter in 1935, They have come
into being as a result of the en-
thusiasm and hard work of first a

«|smallgroup gradually expanding

to great numbers
stances,

We have five very active Confer-
ence groups, There has been a
continuous growth of interest on
the part of chapters in Confer-
ence activities, Here again the
success of the Conferences has

in some in-

‘ween due to untiring zeal on the
part of those especialy devoted to
Association objectives.

The Chapters are the backbone
of the Association and they bene-
fit from the real service rendered
through the Conference plan.

Tam certain that the schools to
aid in effective Chapter organiza-
pete i ) were inaugurated this

ith the cooperation of the
Biate ‘School of Labor Relations at
Cornell University will aid ma-
terlally in greater service to the
members through their Chapters.
Chapters will not be effective un-
less the leadership is progressive
ant the whole potential Chapter
membership is imbued with the
worthwhileness of Chapter efforts.

FIELD ACTIVITIES

This year we have reorganized
our field activities to save time
and travel and thus increase the
opportunity of field representa-
tives for increased service to mem-
bers, We now have a field repre-
sentative located in Buffalo, one in
New York City, one at Bingham-
ton, and two in the eastern,
northern and Champlain and
Hudson Valley area. This means
that Chapters can contact more
easily their local field represen-
tative with reference to° their

roblems and he can become fami-
iar with the general problems in
his area and give them continuous
attention,

Field representatives are doing
® specially important job In rep-
resenting or aiding in represent-
ing groups of county Chapter
members before the various local
official boards and personnel offi-
cials, This work is being develop-
ed in conjunction with the re-
search and public relations activ-
ities of headquarters with excel-
Tent results,

FINANCES AND FACILITIES

‘The finances of your Associa-
tion are in the best condition that
they have ever been, No group of
workers anywhere of like size car-
ries on the variety of services to
its members that our Association
successfully attempts. This means
that our income must be checked
and rechecked and carefully bud-
Deen to buy the services and the
facilities The report of
the Treasurer and the Auditing
Committee gives a record of offi-
cial stewardship that is as person-
ally pleasing as it is creditable to
the Association,

Your splendid headquarters
home has been maintained and
improved as is fitting with good
management,

Nowhere in public or private
business is there more efficiency
than that displayed by the head-
quarters staff under the very able
direction of the Executive Secre-
tary, Joe Lochner. The volume of
production and the direct and in-
direct services rendered day alter
day throughout the year on each
part of our broad program, as well
as our Insurance, membership and
general information activities, is
tremendous and outstanding and
a source of deep satisfaction to the
President in carrying on his duties
and responsibilities to the mem-
bership.

Our legal staff has been called
upon for tontinuous activity. As
the breadth of organization and
program has increased, the need
for legal service has increased.
This is apparent not only in the
drafting of many legislative meas-
ures and their sponsoring and
following through with memoran-
dums and contacts with legisia-
tors, but «so in the requests for
legal advice on many civil service
employment problems from groups
and individuals and appearances
by counsel or assistant counsel be-
fore official agencies. The regional
attorneys in the five centers of
the State are rendering aid help-
ful ‘to many members. Several
cases of importance to the main-
tenance of sound employment
principles have been presented to
the court of decisions.

MEMBERSHIP

T have not reserved the fact of | are

the growth of membership to the
greatest in the history of the
Association until this time simply
because it is such a personal pleas-~
ure to report, but Iam mightily
pleased to say to you that as of
this day we have 55,682 members.
We must always> measure Asso-
ciation success by accomplishment
in the attainment of our great
objectives, but we are justified, I
am sure, in the conclusion that
increasing membership means
more civil service employees are
awakening to the realization that
the Association serves them and is
responsive to their needs and am-
bitions, And this is a very helpful
sign, It means @ continuous in-
crease in members,

$200 Raise Won
By County Group
In Schenectady

SCHENECTADY, Nov. 3 — The
Schenectady County Board of
Supervisors has granted a $200-
a-year salary increase to 400 full
time county employees, a $100-a-
year increase to 27 part-time work-
ers, and an estimated eight-cent-
an-hour pay boost hourly to 93
workers.

Resulted From Request

This action, taken on October
16, was the direct result of a re-
quest for salary adjustments made
by representatives of the Civil
Service Employees Association at

tthe Board meeting on October 8.
|P. Henry Galpin, CSEA research

analyst; Harry Dennington, Sche-
nectady chapter president, and
Mark Delaney, chapter vice presi-
dent, argued for a $400 raise.

Salary additions obtained for
County employees since 1946 total
$1,400 a year.

City Action

Action is also being taken to
achieve salary adjustments for em-
ployees of the City of Schenectady.
At a public hearing on the City
budget, held October 21, Mr. Gal-
pin appeared with Mr. Denning-
ton and Mr, Sain, of the Sc>enec-
tady chapter's salary committee.
A request was made for a $500

Sen. Mitchell
Seeks Factson

SocialSecurity

State Senator MacNeli Mitchell
this week stated that advances in
retirement legislation for public
employees are both feasible and
desirable, He stated that he was
studying the views of public em-
ployees on the subject of social
security as tt might affect their
present retirement systems. Sen-
ator Mitchell is a member of the
State Committee now looking into
the possibility of integrating so~
cial security into existing pension
systems,

Senator Mitchell, well known to
civil service employees because of
the many campaigns he has
espoused on their behalf, says that
he has formed no conclusions
other than this; that in cases
where public employees do not
now receive benefits of any pen-
sion system whatsoever, perhaps
social security is a possible an-
swer, He seeks all the facts, how-
ever, which employee organizations
can place at his disposal,

Senator Mitchell, now running
for re-election in his Manhattan
district, says his decision ov
question of integrating, will be
based upon the inforngftton de-
veloped; but that he ‘Will never
under any circumstances act to
reduce in any way the benefits
built up under existing retirement
systems.

He recently addressed a meeting
of the State Insurance Pund
chapter, CSEA.

tion in 1910 afid those who reor-
ganized it in 1930, had a vision of
rowth in usefulness and in mem-
ership, And, similarly, we today
while rejoicing in the acceptance
of Association ideals and »rograms
by ever increasing numbers by
ublic Workers throughout our
tate, will not be satisfied until
every public worker realizes that
he owes to himself and to his de-
bendents and to his State, to
ticipate in the organization which
is wholly his by reason of its goals

of the Associa-! hel

and susceptible to ever expanding

its influence by loyalty and ace
tive service.
THE PUTU RE

We have come a long way in
public employee organization and
in service to good government and
to our members. The close of this
42nd year of Association history
finds us stronger as an Association
than we have ever been. It finds
us hopeful and confident as to fue

-| ture successful planning and per

formance, Let us cheerfully pledge
ourselves to continued progress
and accomplishment in the years

Ipfulness as he contributes to| ahead,
