Wins 5% Raise

WATERTOWN — The Jef-

visors has approved a five per
cent pay boost for County em-
Ployees, effective Jan, 1, 1967.

‘The board voted on the pay raise
despite of the fact that the clerk,
|. Clark Hamlin, said there was
no need since it had already been
approved in the 1967 budget.

One supervisor, Kenneth Steblin,
suggested it might be better to
jvote an across the board lump
sum pay boost. However, he said,
he did not oppose the percentage
plan and he voted for it.

“We want an election at this
point,” declared Nassau Chapter
President Irving Flaumenbaum,
“but as a matter of principle we
cannot let these titles go.”

Flaumenbaum said a vote was
welcomed in order to demonstrate
the will of the employees of the
‘Town's sanitation department, 80
percent of whom are members of
CSEA. The election would decide
whether the workers want to con-
tinue with representation by CSEA
or by the National Maritime Union,

CSEA attorney Richard M.
Gaba, in a letter to a three-man
committee named to arrange a
vote, demanded to know whether
it would negotiate the issues of
exclusion of some workers.

‘The committee had proposed to
hold a vote among 200 employees
on collection duties and 180 in
the Town incinerator, excluding
clerical workers and foremen,

Fragmenting Seen

Flaumenbaum warned that the
idew contained the seed of a threat
to all public servants. “The idea
is to fragmentize units, The Town
would end up dealing with 20 dif-
ferent groups. And the public
servants would lose the group
power they have earned by soli-
arity.”

The Town of North Hempstead,
also in Nassau County, last week
rejected a bid by the N.M.U, for

jan election among incinerator em-

Ployees noting that the Union had
no evidence of membership, North
Hempstead at the same time grant-

‘Town's sanitation department,

jed exclusive representational rights

| Flaumenbaum noted that he
had received a letter from one of
|the excluded clerks demanding
|the right to vote.
| Other Remedies

Gaba told the three-man com-
mittee and Town Presiding Super-
visor Ralph G, Caso that he want-
ed an early reply “so that I
can pursue the other remedies
available.”

The situation is being closely
watched by CSEA officials
throughout the State because the
Hempstead Town proposal that a
vote be held sets the stage for a
clash between the traditional
CSEA and a union newly on the
seene. CSEA has represented
Hempstead Town workers as @
single unit for 13 years,

In the latest package of bene-
fits negotiated by CSEA, Hemp-
stead Town workers starting Jan,

Federal Employees; Start

Short Trips

Unemployment has dipped to the point where it can no
longer be counted on to feed the kind of rapidly growing
economy the country has experienced in the last five years.
One result of this will be a very unsubtantial growth of Fed-

eral employment up to 1970. On
the other hand the one area of
employment that should continue
to grow and maybe even step up
in growth is government employ-
ment on the State and local level.
‘The jobs are there and the job
categories are ever-expanding.
One reason for this is the mas-
sive grant-in-ald programs of the
Pederal government to State and
local agencies in order that they
might lay at the grass roots the
foundation for some of the social

improvement programs which
have been proved successful on
the Federal level and are appar-
entl so necessary if government
is to keep pace with the ever-

\expanding complexity of modern

society.

taken the skelton of a bill proposed
by Sen. Edmund Muskie of Maine
earlier this year and is now in

One feature of the plan which
would affect all Federal civil serv-

of the recently announced and

The Merit System —
What Is It's Future

ECENT developments in the Courts and impressively
harmonious if somewhat mysteriously scored labor
agreements between the City and “representatives” of City
employees pose a very serious question for all involved with
the future of the civil service and government administration
itself in the world’s most complex metropolis—“where {8

the merit system going?”
It has been no secret that there exists within the

N

Lindsay Administration a great deal of sentiment for the!

honing away of the merit system’s effectiveness to fit the
new mold being cast for a more efficient City administra-
tion. The Hoberman Report and the Seitz Report both point
out a need for extended “management perogative” which
would enable the City to perform its duties in a more
economic fashion making use of its most qualified operatives
ing the civil service in order to overcome New York's most
pressing problems.

Subsequently, a well rounded attack, from many dif-
ferent angles, has been moblilized by the Lindsay Admin-
istration to effect this principle. The decision of the State
Court of Appeals two weeks ago authorizing the City to
by-pass its Career and Salary Plan and revert back to un-
limited grade appointments has, in effect, offered a judicial
sanction for the merit system's erosion, The agree-
ment, which followed only days after, between the
City and District Council 37 whereby clerks and senior clerks
will receive a substantial raise and in turn give away their
Tight to inclusion in the 1954 Career and Salary Plan ap-
pears then to be more than just another unconnected work-
ing arrangement. A trend toward the eventual elimination
of competition by examination for at least the entire upper
level of the City civil service structure is apparent. Also,
in the face of insurmountable evidence that the causes of
the recent Sanitation Deartment scandal could be traced
to the questionable one-in-three practice allowed «under the
present merit system of promotion and appointment, the
City refused to consider the fallibility of the rule and again
showed that it was willing to jeopardize even its own stand-
ards of efficient personnel ‘operation to maintain a loop-
hole in the merit system,

What then ts to come? Will the City’s employees take
the question of the Rule X to the courts and attempt to
set back the City Administration’s plans once again? Will
the threatened smaller unions of civil service personnel
be legally able to turn back the bargaining dynamics now
prevailing whereby the super-union aspect looms larger each
week and the merit system “kiss-off” seems part of the
deal? Will the coming State Constitutional Convention allow
the City another opportunity to undercut the merit system’s
effectiveness or possibly eliminate its power almost wholely?
And, maybe most importantly, is the City acting rashly
where its own best interests are concerned?

Granted that things have changed since Franklin Delano
Roosevelt thought so highly of the merit system of personnel
selection and advancement as to recommend that it be a
prerequisite for any state government which would partici-
pate in the Social Security program in 1939, but the prob-
lem of attracting the best people for the job has only be-
come, in the last few years, more acute, The creation of an
“elite corps" of civil servants as the Mayor has recently
Proposed may fill to a degree the security void left by the
elimination of a workable step-by-step advancement system

Sick Leave Credits
As An Incentive

Editor, The Leader:

The Exeoutt Bulletin, Na-
tional Foremen’s Institute, Water-
ford, Conn., reports (issue of Oct.
30, 1966) an interesting program
in operation at an Atlanta indus-
trial concern.

Bach employee who is present
every working day of a month re-
celves a bonus of about two hours’
pay. An employee who has a per-
fect attendance record for six
consecutive months gets an addi-
tional eight hours’ pay on top of
the two-hour bonus for each
month, Perfect attendance for a
whole year means an extra week's
pay to a worker. Result; absen-
teeism has been cut in half and
production increased by 15 per
cent with the same work force,

‘New York State can provide the
same incentive without spending
money for the cash boritises,
simply by paying in cash for un-
used sick leave credits upon any
separation from service. Employ~
ees then would have a reason for
hosrding such credits. Gone will
be the “headaches”, which so often
occur when an unpleasant task
{5 faced. Leas often will an em-
ployee become “il” when he is
about to forfeit sick leave credits
upon resignation,

Planned absences for vacation,
regular pass days and personal
leave which must be authorized
in advance, are normal operating
expense and procedure. It 4s the
unexpected absence which disrupts
work and is costly in precaution-
ary over-staffing. Reduction of
unnecessary absences will save
any employer far more than its
proportionate cost in normal
wages.

To the worker, cash payment
for accumulated time will dimin-
{ish the financial shock when an
employee much change jobs, or
provide the down payment on 9 re-
tivement home when, by long
years of service with minimal ab-

Civil Service
Law & You

By WILLIAM GOFFEN
i a i rt 1

(Mr, Goffen, a member of the New York Bar, teaches law at the
College of the City of New York, is the author of many books and
articles and co-authored “New York Criminal Law.’”’)

Back Pay and Reinstatement

THE COURT'S determination that the penalty of dis-
missal fs too harsh does not necessarily mean that the Court
itself will fix the penalty. The Court may prefer to remand
the case to the agency for this purpose.

WHETHER THE new penalty is fixed by the Court or by
the agency, the employee may be entitled to back pay for
the time of his suspension. For example, a Civil Service em=
ployee had been suspended for thirty days without pay at
the end of which time he was dismissed from his position.
A year later the Court held that the penalty was too severe
and remanded the case for reassessment of penalty. The new
penalty was an additional sixty days suspension without
pay. Was the employee entitled to back pay for the period
that he was improperly deprived of his position? The Court
held that he was. However, his earnings from other employ-
ment and unemployment insurance benefits reduced the
sum recovered, This 1s in accord with the common law
rule mitigating damages,

A PUBLIC OFFICER, like a New York City patrolman,
is better treated than Civil Service employees who are not
such officers. A public officer receives his salary as an
incident of office, Therefore, earnings from other em-
ployment received while he was prevented from performing
the duties of his office through no fault of his own are not
deductible from his recovery of back pay.

JUSTICE WILFRED A, Waltemade made the point &
the case of Giaquinto v. Beame. The plaintiff, having been
found guilty of charges at a departmental trial was dis-
missed from the police force, As the determination was

Grade Four Worker
\Demands One Level
Food Service Dept.

Editor, The Leader:
Speaking for the grade 4 work-
ers, why is there the unfairness

sence, unused sick leave credits|of a two grade classification in

based on discernible merit and equal opportunity but it stitl
cannot offset the aura of nepotism and other inequities loom-
ing ahead for any astute individual considering @ career in
government service,

And, very practically, to what extent will the City be cut-
ting itself off from possible Federal assistance by degenerat-
ing the merit system at a time when {ts principles are
coming up for a stamp of approval in Congress and may in
fact be listed as a prime objective under new Federal leg-
islation designed to help State and local governments
out of their personnel crisis? A personnel crisis 1s,
after all, just what the Lindsay Administration is trying
to overcome lately, is it not? And more Federal funds for
the City’s problems overall has also been among the Mayor's
most fervent wishes. .

Maine's Senator Edmund S. Muskie ts currently pro-
posing @ much-favored piece of Federal legislation which
would attempt to help local municipalities such as and espe-
cially like New York City. The merit system stands out in
the Senator’s language however as something to cherish,
not perish. He said on May 25 of this year in Congress...
“I strongly believe that an open system of public employ-
ment, operating under public rules and based, among other
factors, on competitive examinations, equal pay for equal
work, tenure contingent on successful performance and
promotion, evaluated capacity and service, provides one of
the surest foundations for the development and maintenance
of an efficient civil service based on excellence, Equally
important, {t meets the democratic objective of equal op-
portunity,” All things that the current City trend endangers,

We had to pass tests in order
to be hired tn this department.
We do the same eight hours of
work as the grade 6. But we in

we are beneath the grade 6.

Officers’ Assn. Refute
SCPOA's Statements

Editor, The Leader:

‘This letter is in reference to the
‘tem you printed in The Leader
of December 6, 1966 regarding the
Supreme Court Probation Officers
case which is pending In the Ap-
pellate Division, Pirst Department
against New York City, the Judi+
olal Conference and the Probation
and Parole Officers Association of
Greater New York.

The PPOA was awarded the
certificate to carry on collective
bargaining negotiations for all
probation titles in all the proba-
tion services in the City, The
PPOA ts doing just that.

As a member of the PPOA I
wish to register my objections to
statements published on December
6 because it is replete with un-
truths, distortions of the facts and
inconsistencies. For instance, in
one paragraph the spokesman for
the “SCPOA" complains that “The

Braph he says, “We have a separ-
Ate identity and have a suit

gain for the Supreme Court.” |

Purther, although the law suit
is still pending and was brought

mitted to yote at a membership

pertaining to the collective bar-

Another point I wish to make

is that the spokesman for the

ment" resulting from collective

bargaining does “not differentiate
the Supreme Court probation of-
ficer and the supervisors from
those growps less qualified — ex-
perience and education wise.” I
presume the spokesman means by

—

Rehabilitation
Counselors Ask
Reallocations

ALBANY—Reallocation requests submitted by affected
employees for three titles in the State's rehabilitation coun-
Selor series have been extended to the entire series, in a

more recent appeal filed by the State Education Dept.

The new appeal, according to; —
the Department's transmittal let-

ter, was prompted generally by

“the recent reclassifications and |
reallocations in the Division

ot}

Tuesday, Decem! her 20, 1966

Employment and related parole
and social worker fields" which
have brought about an Inbalance
in the relationship of comparable
titles In the Division of Vocational
Rehabilitation,

‘The departmental bid, which has
the full support of the Civil Serv-
ice Employees Assn., also places
strong emphasis “on sharp in-
creases in the responsibility
thrust upon our stand” in justi-
fying the reallocation,

Inadequate Action
The move follows a virtually
fruitless attempt early last fall
by employees in the Division of
Rehabilitation to gain several

| Assn., in its supporting letter, also

grades for three rehabilitation
counselor titles. This request,
which also had CSEA support, was
all but denied by J, Earl Keily,
State Director of Classification and
Compensation, who approved a
one-grade boost for the basic
counselor title only, a decision
termed by Education Department
officials as “most inadequate.” |

In submitting the new request, |
the Department also asked Kelly |
for a hearing in the matter by
Nov, 15, At Lender press time,
definite plans for the hearing
were not yet nkown.

THE STATEWIDE PLAN

for public service employees, There are many good reasons why the STATEWIDE PLAN
— Option I —is preferred by over 83.59, of the eligible state and local government employees
now enrolled in the New York State program for hospital and medical insurance,

The STATEWIDE PLAN gives you the broader basic benefits of Blue Cross and Blue

against day-to-day expenses such as home and office visits, drugs, nursing care, etc., both im

and out of the hospital,

stressed the heavier responsibili-
ties that now exist among the
affected titles, “For example,”
CSEA pointed out, “the rehabili- &
tation counselor has now become
& consultant to committees, as-
sociations, and other agencies, and
the category of cases has been ex-
tended to cover specialized work
not previously performed. These
changes alone indicate that an up-
ward reallocation is warranted.”
What Is Sought
New grades requested in the
reallocation are aa follows;
Rehabilitation interviewer,
grade 9 to 12.
Sentor rehabilitation
viewer, grade 13 to 15,
Rehabilitation counselor
trainee, salary of $6,675 to

no law school freshman would
make, that his colleagues jest that
“he even walks in reverse.”

THUS, THE JUDICIAL Con-
ference decided that it was time
to upgrade the bench in the eyes
of the various publics the courts
serve. The newly instituted indoc-
trination was the result of this
deep concern with the deterlora-
tion of the public relations of
the courts generally. It will um-
doubtedly be standard procedure
for all new judges in the future,

THE 28 NEW judges came to
the indoctrination session from
every part of New York State.
They heard lectures on the very
latest developments in the areas
of evidence, criminal law and pro-
cedure, matrimonial matters, civil
practice law and rules—and most
important—how to be a strong
Judge, and a good one.

THE LATTER ITEM they heard
from an old pro, who is usually at
home on either side of the court-
room rail—as & top-notch judge
and an equally top-notch trial
lawyer, He is Justice James B, M,
MoNally, of the Appellate Divi-
sion, First Department, who,
among other things, urged the
new judges to study the canons
of judicial ethics,

“¥YOUD BE

suprised at how

and it will keep you out of # great

deal of trouble.” TO OUR AVERAGE 150,000

readers, we extend our best wish-
es for a Merry Christmas, a Happy
New Year, and a long, successful
fenure in superior public service in
the best interests of all the people.

Suffolk Aide, Fired

Without Hearing, Wins
Reinstatement On Joh

ALBANY—A permanent, competitive class employee of
Suffolk County’s Department of Public Works, fired without
a hearing for allegedly falsifying job applications, must
get his job back, according to a court decision affirming
his right to protection under Sec-; -
tion 75 of the Civil Service Law

‘The ruling was handed down
by Nassau County Supreme Court
in an Article 78 proceding brought
about by Allen A. Smith, an en-
gineering aide against the Suffolk |
County Civil Service Commission |
under the Legal Assistance Pro-
gram of the Civil Service Em- |
Ployees Assn.

‘The Commission terminated
Smith last March for allegedly
giving false answers on Civil Serv-
ice job applications to questions

at the time the allocations were
made was the overriding consid-
eration, and that the apparent
applicability of Section 50 did not
preclude hs right to protection
under Section 75.

In overriding the Commission,
the court pointed out that the ap-
plicability of the Section 50 pro-
vision revoking certification or
pointment to service is limited “to

terms who have not been appoint-
ed on & permanent Basis." The

leached after a hearing, his petition for judicial review
‘was determined in the first instance by the Appellate Di-
vision, This practice accords with the provisions of the Civil
Practice Law and Rules,

THE APPELLATE Division annulled the fourth charge
of misconduct in that the plaintiff had failed to make a
> emorandum book entry of absence from post. The reason
(tor annulling the charge was that the record established
that the officer had actually made the entry as soon as
circumstances permitted,

THE APPELLATE Division, instead of fixing an appro-
priate penalty itself, remanded the matter to the Police
Commissioner for redetermination of the penalty, The re-

termination astonishingly was again dismissal. A second
jppeal to the Court likewise resulted in remand, but this
time a new penalty was fixed in the form of a fine of
thirty days’ loss of pay.

IN HIS THIRD application to the Court, the plaintiff
; sought a judgment for full back pay. This involved a four
| year period commencing with his {nitlal dismissal and

terminating on the date of his reinstatement, The posi-

tion of the City of New York was that the claim must be
mitigated by allowance of the plaintiff's earnings in other
; employment. In support of this contention, the defendants
pargued that it was through yme oversight” that the
plaintiff had not been suspended during the period in-
volved. To this argument, Justice Waltemade responded:
“It might be added that, upon the basis of the entire
record, the dismissal was no oversight whatever, The
question is not whether there had been any suspension
| or for what period of time, but rather plaintiff's entitie-
ment to his position, the right to perform the duties
y thereof and to receive a salary Incident thereto.”
THE DEFENDANTS made a further argument, This was
wased upon the fact that
} plaintiff, but rather the Police Com
tention, the Court replied that the Commissioner was under

Court compulsion to reinstate the plaintiff when the c¢:
was remanded for disciplinary measures in view of the ex-

cessiveness of dismissal,

UPON HIS reinstatement, the plaintiff's right to back
' pay matured. The Administrative Code requires this con-
elusion:

“The commissioner shall have power to suspend,
without pay, pending the trial of charges, any member

the Court had not reinstated the|
issioner, To this con-|

of the force. If any member
#0 suspended shall not be con-
vieted by the commissioner
of the charges so preferred,
he shall be entitled to full
pay from the day of suspen-
sion, notwithstanding such
charges and suspension.”

THE PLAINTIFF was never
suspended, Through the Commis-
sioner’s error, he was dismissed, If
the plaintiff had sought recovery
jot back pay for 9 period of law-
ful suspension pending the trial
of charges, it appears from the
Administrative Code that he would |
|not have been entitled to back |
pay for such period, The plain- |
tiff’s unlawful dismissal, however,
cannot justify refusal to pay his|
