CSEA's Strong Protest |
Brings ‘Paid’ Paydays

LBANY, April 12—An extraordinarily vigorous pro-

test on the part of the Civil Service Employees
Assn. against any “payless” paydays for State workers
brought results last week when a special committee
organized by Gov, Nelson A, Rockefeller devised a formula to
get State institution employees their net wages.

Essentially, the employees’ checks were turned into notes
for interest-free loans which were honored by commercial
banks throughout the State. If a budget is still not passed this
week, the remainder of State employees will be paid by the

same method,
| CSEA representatives, headed by their president, Joseph
F. Peily, turned out in force in the Assembly chambers on

April 2 to demand that the State pass a budget and get
employees their pay. The Employees Association was the only
employee organization to show up at the session, a hearing on
the budget, to speak out for State workers.

Execution of the plan to pay workers took around the
clock efforts of the staffs of several State departments, mainly
those of Budget and Comptroller Arthur Levitt, The Depart-
ment of Audit & Control had to feed the formula for payment
into its computor, The Audit & Control computor would not

Out From Legislative
Committees For Action

(Special To The Leader)

ALBANY, April 12—Hope grew on Capito) Hill here last week that some major loop-
holes in working conditions affecting State and political subdivision employees would be
plugged up through a series of bills sponsored by the Civil Service Employees Assn, that
have been released by Legislature committees,

One of the most important of
these measures is a bill that would
require political subdivisions to

Division of Employment were needed to finish the task on
time. When the “checks’ were finished, both Levitt’s signature
and that of Tax Commissioner Joseph Murphy had to be |
affixed, after which State troopers picked them up and dis-
tributed them around the State.

Said Feily later: “We are still demanding that a budget
be passed and this kind of emergency be stopped.”

State University Steno &
Secretarial Careers Face
Destruction, CSEA Charges

(Special to The Leader)

ALBANY, April 12—“Any opportunity for career service
for stenographers within the State University of New York
would be destroyed if a proposal by the university adminis-
tration, which would place practically all stenographic and

Rossetti posed five key ques-
tions he said should be consid-

1, “Can the right to strike, or

against strikes in the public ser-
vice be maintained in the pub-
lic interest?

2, “In lieu of this loss of a right
that is given to all other work-
ers, which serves as a powerful
force in labor-industry bargaining,
what kind of substitute guaran-
tees should be granted to public
employees?

3. “How can thelr grievance be

Judicated, to assure them that
they will not be voiceless and
powerless in thelr efforts to im-
prove conditions of their employ-
ment?

jother governmental representatives

5. “How can there be written
into law penalties that are right
and proper against violators of
the provisions of such law, with-
out forgetting that same statutes

that they are forec/il, and that

are not in keeping with the true
spirit of amicable employer-em-

DON'T REPEAT THIS

He's one of the most unusual
politicians in America — and yet
even the most unusual politicians
suffer their big defeat (which
can be their last).

Congressman Ryan would like
to run for Mayor but he doesn’t
as yet have sufficient financial
support—if he can get it at all;
and nobody, with the possible ex-
ception of some of Wagner's
“happy” friends take I.D. Robbins

How long will Wagner's luck
hold out?

High-Cost Victory?

For instance, did Mayor Robert

The talk among many top Demo-
crats right now is that it did
While there is little doubt that
Wagner intended right along to
run for re-election as Mayor of

New York again this year, those}

close to him know that he has
long wished to move into the na-
tional political scene, either as a
United States Senator or as a
Vice Presidential candidate, But
the road to that kind of ambition
requires not only firm party con-
trol at home but pa: wide back-
ing and enthusiasm — and the
1966 gubernatorial office.

The deep split in Democratic
party factions that went even
deeper after the Albany wars is

fied party support for any can-
didate, Wagner as well as anyone

else, who wants to take on Rocke-| throughout the State. If so, it is a/diciary. It would seem that every
judge in a criminal case is trying

feller or Javits or Lindsay for the
gubernatorial or Senate posts
next year, And a man who can't
operate successfully with the
whole team in his own State is
hardly candidate material for the
Vice Presidency
Pe Will Erupt Again

Wagner, of course, knows that
he can’t move on with things the
way they are now. He also knows
that even though reporting on
Democratic feuds is not receiving
the headlines these days,

the!

feuds are still there and will cer-
tainly erupt once again on the
front pages once the State budget
is passed. Acrimony among
some of the State’s senators and
assemblymen has passed beyond
factional quarrels and has entered
& personal, bitter stage.

Yet, strangely enough, the man
who could do most to re-unify the
| party, and in so doing help it end
this session of the Legislature
| with & presentable public record
for the November elections, seems
utterly disinclined at this time to
make any conciliatory moves in
that direction whatsoever. We are
speaking, of course, of Wagner.

THE PUBLIC
EMPLOYEE

By JOSEPH F. FEILY
President,
Civil Serviee Employees Association

ETP LM ANNI PGES OSTA TGR EN

Non-Contributory Retirement

IN THE MIDST of the turmoil in the Legislature, I
believe the Association bears an even greater responsibility
to each member to report and to inform you with respect
to the non-contributory retirement bill pased by Senator
Edward Lentol and Assemblyman Thomas La Fauci and sign-
ed into law last week by Gov. Rockefeller,

THE BILL MAKES the State Retirement System fully
non-contributory for one year, effective April 1, for all mem-
bers employed by the State, During this one year moratorium
on State employees contributions to the System, a perm-
anent non-contributory plan will be worked out, embracing
ail benefits of the present plan.

FOR RETIREMENT System members employed in the
State’s political subdivisions and public authoritys, CSEA
has introduced a bill, sponsored by Sen. Lentol, which would
make the non-contributory plan available to them. The
number of this bill is Sen. intro 4279. This measure should
be supported vigorously by all of our members, both in
the County and State divisions, so that the subdivision em-
Ployees receive the same benefits of law which now are avail-
able to State employees.

WE STRONGLY URGE all State employee members of
the Retirement System who now are enrolled in the age 60-
year pian to immediately file applications with the Depart-
ment of Audit and Control, joining the age 55-year plan.
The election of the age 55-year plan not only produces the
higher rate of contributions from the State as employer
but also improves the rate of contribution retroactively, for
every year of members’ service. Such election would, in most
cases, substantially improve the benefits which a member
‘would receive upon retirement,

PUTTING IT ANOTHER way, every member of the age
60-year plan who fall to file for the age 55-year plan is
throwing money away every day that he fails to make such
an application,

IN ADDITION, Comptroller Levitt has made available at
all State agency personnel offices application forms for en-
trance into the age 55-year plan,

ANOTHER IMPORTANT point under the new plan is
that any member may elect to raise the non-conrtibutory
features of the bill, as with the previous five and eight per-
centage point plans, by filing a waiver form with the Retire-
ment System. All members who have previously filed waivers
and have continued to contribute to the System, must re-
file such waivers under the new law.

WE SHALL continue to provide further and more de-
tailed information with respect to this program and all
other programs,

In addition, Feily said, “We be-

The CSEA president said it is
the responsibility of the Commis-
sion “ to convince the State Uni-

any greater number of stenogra-

side the competitive class than is
approved for other State agencies,

ALBANY, April 12—As the result of negotiations between the Civil Service Em-

Sees Danger In Hatch Act

5 Sen. Daniel B. Brewster (Dem. Md.), who recently pro-

Hatch Act on government employees civil rights, has stated |
that its Hberalization or repeal could endanger their job
security. The Senator emphasized,
however that he feels government | union has taken up the cause of

The Maryland legislator feels | cause the Central Industrial Per-|

great headway in it's anti-snoop-
ing drive. It is mainly concerned
with the use of psychological test-
ing by the government agencies.

The main issue here is that
+» Agencies . . . base personnel
decisions on personality tests ad-
ministered and interpreted in in-
discriminate fashion with no
guidelines from the agency.”

Some changes have been made,
such as the State Department's
allowing employees to chose their
own psychologists, However, these
changes are seen as being inef-
fectual as they merely skirt the
desired effect, which would be to
| give the agency control over test-
| ing.

The goal of Rep. Gallagher's
committee is to put a halt to all
psychological testing in govern-
ment, which he has branded as
“an insidious and ilegal search of
the human mind.” He sees the Bill
of Rights as a “constitutional
wall" designed to “protect the
rights and privacy of the individ-

Lie Detectors

This was only one of the issues

service employees which rose to
the fore last week,
‘The use of polygraph machines

eveated new controversy in both! negded by Rep. Cornelius B. Gal-

civil service and private industry.

The use of psychological testing
by government agencies came un-
der new fire.

Charges were made that the
| Pederal Government was being ex-
cessive in the degree to which its
security checks imposed on the
personal lives of workers in
private industry.

On the Federal level, a House
subcommittee headed by Demo-
cratic Rep. Moss of California, has
issued a report that is sharply
critical of the use of polygraphs
as le detectors by government
agencies, During the committee's
hearings Moss declared, “If all
these hearings produce is an under-
standing by the public that there
is no Me detector that will be of
| significance.”

Moss was citing new evidence
that the polygraphs have little
value as Ne detectors. It was
charged that unwarrented faith
in the “myth” of lie detection and
character surveillance by the use
of these machines was creating an
unhealthy situation within gov-
ernment.

At the same time a campaign
was reported mounting within
employee organizations in private
industry. It is contended that
many employees are being fired
for refusing to submit to poly-
graph tests, “And that violates
just about every Constitutional
right you can think of,” one ore

CS Commission Proposes
Promotion Exam Changes;
Would Eliminate Seniority

The New York City Civil Service Commission reserved decision last week on a reso-
lution that would change the rules governing seniority and performance ratings on pro-

motion examinations.

The change would eliminate the necessity for the Commission to weigh seniority

and performance at 50 percent and
the written test at 50 percent. If
passed performance and seniority
could be weighted as little as 15
percent,

Opponents charged that the
change of the ratings would elim-
inate credit for record and senior-
ity and also extra credits that
employees earn for above aver-
age work

Opposition

Leading off the opposition to
the amendment was Herbert
Bauch, president of Terminal
Employees Local 832. He said that
the change was nothing more
“then an attempt by the Commis-
sion to bring inexperienced col-
lege people in at the detriment
of old-line employees." Bauch
pointed out that the proposal was
“just another instance of the
Commission's determination to
break the morale of the present
City employee.”

He stated that an employee
with 30 years of service to the
City would be in the same posi-
tion as an employee who was
in City service for one day.

Many positions are expected to

pointed college graduates com-
pete with trained and experienced
City employees on an equal bas-
is,” Bauch said.

Also opposed to the proposal
was John L. Koch who was rep-
Presenting Local 237 Koch stated
that the passage of the resolution
would eliminate the incentive fac+
tor for the civil service employee.
He questioned the intent of the
Tesoltition and said that the em-
ployee who does not have a col-
lege degree should not be placed
at a disadvantage.

Edyth Humphries,

President of Richmond told the
Commission that the system as
it stands now has served the
City well and has functioned in
the best interests of the City of
New York,

“The purpose of
exams {s to give the employee
something to look forward to and
to give him an opportunity to
advance. If you take away sen-
jority and performance ratings.
you will be taking away their
incentive,” Miss Humphries said

Speaking for the Association of
3uilding Inspectors, Daniel Rozell
pointed out that inspectors with
20 years or more of service and
experience would be severly pun-
ished under the proposal.

He said that it should not be
Joverlooked that the civil service
jemployee of today is a senior

“TUESDAY, APRIL 13, 1965 ka
Downgrading Seniority
MUST Be Proved Worthy

AST WEEK the New York City Civil Service Commission

held a hearing on a proposal that would reduce from
50 percent to 15 percent the value given to seniority and
work performance ratings on civil service promotion ex-
aminations.

No explanation was given why this reduction had been
proposed or why the Commission seemed to be giving it
serious consideration. As could be expected, the objections
that rose up from the ranks of the employees who stand to

be affected by the proposed ruling were loud and reflected
considerable anxiety,

The commission, by not explaining its course of action,

should expect nothing less from workers who have so much
to lose,

To an employee who has spent a good part of his adult
years working in and for an organization which, for its very
Size, can only rely largely on file cabinet evaluation of an
employee's worth, the length of time spent with the organi-
zation in loyal service is of prime importance. When the boss
is a man who may not recognize you in the hall there is
@ tendency to put a high value on what is said about you
on the cold statistical sheet which too often is you—over-
simplified,

The man whose ambition, security, sense of fulfillment
and gratification depends on that paper may view its char-
acter with disdain but he cherishes it’s worth. Others who
may not recognize this worth, as they do not recognize the
employee in the hall, seem to find it easy to feel only disdain.

The seniority system is a staple of organization in civil
service. When it is drastically altered those responsible
should, even in their own interests, have very good reasons.
If the system is undermined capriciously, as part of an ex-
periment in management the results could be disasterous to
an organization whose strength depends on its employees’
faith in the underlying goodwill of it’s impersonal employ.

An explanation of purpose and value on this resolution
should be forthcoming—at once!

Peculiar Logic

HE Hauppauge Board of Education has come up with

some peculiar logic recently to justify not only its
neglect but also its downgrading of non-teaching employees
in that school district.

On the grounds that employees can earn more money by
taking more exams for promotion, the Board has approved a

resolution which would cut the increments these employees
receive from nine to eight.

The real thought behind this proposal, of course, is
merely to save money at these empioyees’ expense and force
taem to scramble among themselves for the extremely few
promotions that would become available—if ever.

It is bad enough that the Hauppauge Board of Education
has denied these employees gains such as reduced retire-
ment contributions and some kind of job security in the
form of tenure; gains that employees in neighboring school
districts do enjoy. To becloud thelr futures with insincere
doubletalk about increased promotion opportunities that are
Nothing Jess than an eventual cut in salary is unworthy of
responsible board members,

The Board of Education should immediately restore the
ninth increment these employees are entitled to and start
looking for ways to return these workers to 20th century
working conditions, not economic serfdom,

you for all the support you have
given the 10,000 some odd people

been the only one in this area
which has supported our stand
that this shipyard should not

Seeks Upgrading To

Editor, The Leader:

I am very pleased to see that
a* long last stenographers are
voicing their opinions and protests,
via your column, regarding grade,
salary, etc. My protests to my
CSEA representative along these
same lines have been many,

There is only one grade differ-
ence between a clerk (or typist)
and a stenographer .This hardly
seems fair inasmuch as practically
anybody can be trained within a
matter of a few days to handle
general clerical duties. That this
is a fact is proven by the num-
ber of temporary clerks on State
payrolls, some who have never
even take the civil service exam-
ination for this title; many of
them have never even completed
high school, A typist or a steno
cannot be trained properly in her
chosen line of work in so short a
time; there ts a certain amount
of skill involved in these positions,
and, naturally, more skill and
training is needed to become an
efficient steno than a typist. As
well as being able to take dicta-
tion and transeribe from her notes,
the steno must have a good com-
mand of the English language

College of the City of New York, fs the author of many books and

More On Oral Exams

BOTH THE State Constitution and the State Civil Ser-
vice Law make it clear that appointments to civil service
positions are to be made according to merit and fitness,
Merit and fitness are to be ascertained, as far as practicable,
by competitive examination. Whenever a governmental
agency evades these mandates of the positive law, there
is a threat to an effective civil service system. Such evasion
may result from various administrative techniques, such as
abuse of the one-of-three rule, raising or lowering of pass
marks after promotional examinations have been held, or
utilization of oral interview tests,

WHILE ABUSE of the oral test in private employment
is minimized by the private employer's self interest in ob-
taining the best qualified personnel, government employment
may be more susceptible to the subjective elements of the
human equation. These elements destroy the competitive
nature of the examination in that the examinations of all
the candidates can not be held simultaneously, the examiners
are not the same at each test, the same examiners at differ=
ent times may react differently, and an examiner may un-
consciously respond unfairly to an examinee’s personality,
All of these factors contributed to State Supreme Court Jus"
tice Beckinella’s decision of March 15, 1965 in the Nelson
vy. Board of Examiners case which was initially considered
in last week's column,

THE ORAL interview tests in the Nelson case, an Article
78 proceeding for review of an examination for licensure as
elementary school principal, involved 238 candidates. They
were interviewed individually on different days by different
panels of interviewers, Justice Beckinella cited Bucalo wv.
Kaplan, a Third Department decision in favor of State Un-
employment Insurance Claims Examiners, for the proposition
that objective standards or guide lines must be followed in
giving oral qualifying tests. Whatever guide lines were given
the examiners in the Nelson case were oral and no record of
them was kept. Hence, the Board of Examiners was unable
to prove that it employed objective standards which are
capable of review by other examiners,

THE ABSENCE of any written record of the standards
employed by the examiners handicapped the petitioners in
meeting the burden of proof that the standards were sub-
jective. They had to rely on the testimony of examination
assistants whose testimony, however unconsciously, may
have been colored by personal interest in sustaining their
judgment. Typically, one of the examiners testified in re-
sponse to the Court’s effort to elicit whether objective grad-
ing standards were employed:

“In all honesty, these standards were based, I would
guess, on the qualifications and the caliber of the kind
of examination assistant that was selected. In other
words, we being the kind of people that we were sup-
posed to have been had the ability to make our own
judgments about these various items.”

IN FACT, the standards were given to the examining
assistants on nine different occasions, at briefings by a mem~
ber of the Board of Examiners, He conceded at the trial that
there was discussion with the assistants, and the Court was
not satisfied that such discussions did not result in differ-
ing standards among the nine briefings.

EIGHTEEN candidates had been marked doubtful. They
were regraded by a different panel and this time most of
them passed. For example, the examiners commented at one
candida®’s first interview:

. “He asked for time in one instance to be able to think
through the answer”; “Seems to feel teachers should
have too large a role in school”; “‘unrealistic approach
to findings based upon democratic practices.”

‘THE SAME candidate passed the second test with flying
colors, eliciting from the panel such commendations as:

“Candidate should become a dean among principals’;

“Will work effectively with teachers”; “a charming per

son, self-possessed, and confident without being over-

bearing,”

IT SEEMS impossible that the panels at both tests ap
plied the same grading standards, This 1s examination by
whimsy,

BY REAFFIRMING the mandate that civil service exam~

nations be according to standards making the competition

fair to all, Justice Beckinella's opinion should contribute
much to the workability of our civil service system,

Telephone Operators

Editor The Leader:

I have been an ardent reader
of The Leader for over three
years, and up to the present time,
have not seen one word men-
tioned regarding the telephone
operators for Mental Hygiene. I
think that someone should at
Teast show a little concern regard-

ing these devoted State employees
regarding raising their rate and
some benefits,

Let us take the salary, an ex-
erienced telephone operator starts
within the State with a salary of
$66 weekly, bear in mind after
deductions this employees is go-
ing home with approximately $40
weekly, or less, any telephone op-
erator In the business world starts
with the minimum of $90 weekly,
‘Monday through Friday with one
hour for lunch,

The telephone operator works
40 hours weekly and all Sat-
urdays, Sundays and holidays,
while other State telephone op-
erators have these days off and
works 37% hours weekly, yet get
the same rate of pay.

Telephone operators have to
work three shifts, they have to
take the responsibility of being
available for all emergencies, are
tied to the switchboard for eight
hours especially the evening shifts
when one operator works the

switchboard. This means that

measles vaccine, the new one requires no

they have no relief, eat at the
switchboard, keep personal call
records, take care of the mails,
and send and receive telegrams, in
other words, work as a clerk in
addition to the switchboard
duties,

Yet, this devoted State em-
ployee is not even mentioned in
the Mental Hygiene Manual; does
not exist as far as they are con-
cerned. Surely, without this em-
ployee the hospital could not exist,
yet they are considered dispens+
able, and a forgotten employee.

Surely there must be someone
who will take up the cause of
the telephone operator and see
that they receive a decent wage
and conditions that other State
employees enjoy. I Wonder?

Call 440-1234
For Police Action

Police Commissioner Michael J,
Murphy has advised that people
in the New York City area are
not using the police emergency
telephone number to their ad-
vantage. Last month only 45 per-
cent of the emergency calls re-
ceived by the Police Department
were made to 440-1234, the
emergency number introduced last
Nov. 10.

The Police Commissioner con-
siders the maximum use of this
means of swift communication
and police action in situations of
urgency to be of utmost impor-
tance in the Citys efforts to pro-
tect its citizens,

Using 440-1234 brings the call-
ers voice directly into the police
communication center where the
information is transmitted by
radio and the nearest patrol car
or ambulance is dispatched.

The Lady Is A Lawyer -
And A Darn Good One

By JAMES F. O'HANLON
This is a story that asks the question: “Can a pretty girl
lawyer from a resort town in the east find justice with juris-
prudence while married to a corporate law man who works
on Wall Street?” The answer, according to the pretty girl

lawyer, would seem to be “Why
not?”

Our story concern Mrs,
Lillian Cohen, a slim, attractive
attorney in the office of Attorney
General Louls Lefkowitz. She is a
graduate of Harvard Law School,
class of '62 and Douglass College
at Rutgers University, where she
majored in economics. On grad-
uating from Harvard and being ad-
mitted to the New York Bar Asso-
ciation she went to work with a
law professor at Columbia Uni-
versity, assisting him in research-
ing @ now published two volume
work on New York Civil Practice,

After a year she accepted a po-
sition with the State assisting the
Attorney General in the Litigation
Department at the 80 Centre
Street offices,

While at Harvard, Mrs. Cohen
had spent a summer working at
80 Centre Street. Her pleasant ex-
periences then and the interest
instilled were major factors in her
decision to work for the State.
She admits, however, that there
was nothing in her childhood or
adolence that motivated her to
study law, If it were not for the
prompting of a talent conscious
professor at Rutgers, Bradley

| The litigation appeal section is
| largely concerned with cases of
|convicted criminals filing habeus
| corpus documents in order to ap-
peal a State conviction in the
Federal courts. In the last few
| years this has become a dynamic
| area of activity in the courts. One
|result of the increased activity
is the need of industrious
young lawyers like Mrs,
Cohen. The added work-load al-
lows them to get into court and
| exercise their talents on this level
| quite early in their careers, The
| acceptance of responsibility by the
young attorneys, which is en-
couraged by Lefkowitz, brings a
wealth of experience and oppor-
tunity that is rare and infuses the
industry at 80 Centre Street with
valuable young ideas and enthu-
siasm.

Mrs, Cohen had barely tried out
her new desk and sharpened her
pencils when she was given the
task of defending the position of the
State. A convicted man ‘filed a

Attendance Rules
Work Progresses

By JOHN K. WOLF,
“Our committee met on

Committee Chairman
the evening of Feb. 16, and

reviewed the resolutions mandated by the delegates in
October, that pertain to the Attendance Rules.
“On Feb, 23, the chairman of this committee and staff

met with Civil Service Commis-
sion president Krone and Com-
missioner Falk and representa-
tives of the Civil Service Depart-
ment. All of CSEA’s proposed
‘amendments to the present rules
were thoroughly discussed. And,
while no firm commitments were
received, the Commission did
promise to re-examine our re-
quests and again evaluate some
of our proposals,

“Items that were discussed
were:

® Increased vacation allowances
after 15 years of service.

* Reduce the work week to
85 hours.

CSEA Bills

{Continued from Page 1)
for local government employees on
the same basis now provided State
employees,

Bill Drive Continues

In the meantime, CSEA urged
fits members to keep up the steady
drive in contacting legislators to
Pass major public employee bills.
One campaign these past weeks
has been devoted to securing half-
Day, 20-year retirement for State
troopers and 25-year retirement
for Correction Officers and Park
Police.

CSEA this week is making an
intensive effort to get released to
the floor of the Legislature, bills
that would grant job tenure to
Pon-competitive and laborer
@lass emplo,ces in both the State
nd political subdivisions.

BEA members have been alert-
@d to keep up legislator contact
fMntil the very last minute of the

leges to employees who entered
State service after 1957.

“It ts this committee's feeling
that special interest is being shown
by our members in the matter of
adjusting the provisions of the
State Attendance Rules with re-
spect to accumulated sick leave.
The committee wishes to assure
the delegates that it recognizes
this interest, fs paying special at-
tention to it and hopes that pro-
gress is being made on this pro-
posal.

“The Committee urges all of
our members and delegates to
come forth with any new promis-
ing ideas with respect to improve-

ment in the State’s Attendance
Rules.

‘The amendment dealt with pro-
motional ratings and reads as fol-
lows;

‘To our query on how thelr mem-
bers felt about their department's
use of promotional ratings, mem-
bers conducted a survey, sent out
questionaires; and reported back
to us that a majority of their
members are opposed to its use
and reported back to us that of
those who responded a majority
of their members are opposed to
its use. (underlined is added lan-
guage and as amended).

MOVED, to amend the report
and to urge that the Governor be
asked to disapprove and veto a new
administration of (Work) Per-
formance Rating as it was pre-
sented by the Civil Service Com-
mission on December 16, 1964, and
further urge that the Association
demand that any new adminis-
tration (Work) Performance Rat-
ings shall included:

1, The right of an employee to
have a representative at all stages
of the hearings.

2. That transcript be made of
all stages of the hearings.

3. That the administration of
the (Work) Performance Rating
include that the rating standards
are applied uniformly within the
agency by reviewing ratings,
recommending changes or chang-
ing the ratings.

4. That the Civil Service Com-
mission grant personal hearings
on appeals if requested.

5, That the CSEA be consulted
before final promulgation of the
rules.”

‘The reguler report declared;

“This Committee has held a
number of meetings with the De-
partment of Civil Service and with
the Civil Service Commission, be-
sides engaging in voluminous cor-
respondence and numerous tele-
Phone calls, Of great help to us
were the CSEA staff people:
Henry Galpin, Tom Coyle, Bill
Blom, and above all, CSEA presi-
dent Joseph Feily and Joseph
Lochner, executive director, who
was most forthright and articulate
in the constant battles with these
Sate adminisrators,

Major Issues
‘The three major issues were?
1, The proposed promotion ra-
ting system.
2. The multi-adjeotive rating

ber of the Matteawan State Hos- | system.

3. Revision in work performance
rating rules.

“The proposed promotion rating
system is one of our greatest
concerns, There 1s no doubt in our
minds that this method offers a
greater threat to the Merit Sys-
tem than even multi-adjective
ratings. Instead of an evaluation
at the end of the year, the pro-
motion rating system would re-
quire employees to be rated just
prior to taking a promotion exam,
with @ posible spread of nine
points between a rating of “not
Promotable” and one of “superior”
which are added to the marks for
written and oral exams as given,
No Ust is published showing the
breakdown of exam marks and

rating points, What makes it even

Reports to Delegates
Work Of Performance Rating
Committee An Unending Task

By SAMUEL GROSSFIELD, Committee Chairman
Delegates at the 55th anniversary meeting of the Civil Service Employees Assn.,
approved the report of the Special Committee on Work Performance Ratings and offer-
ed a major amendment to the report which was accepted by the committee and the

more pernicious, the promotion
rating is not appealable to the
Civil Service Commission. To us
is seems quite apparent that this
makes a mockery of the Merit
System for it would open the
floodgates to prejudice and fav-
oritism.

“This committee has long been
waging a militant campaign for
& two-adjective (satisfactory or
unsatisfactory) yearly rating sys-
tem. The proposed 1965 perform-
ance rating rules, awaiting ap-
proval by the Governor, accedes to
our persistent efforts. We feel
this ts a tremendous gain to our
membership, However, the Civil
Service Commission reserves to
itself the right to make exceptions

“In 1963 the Commission grant-
ed the right of experimentation
with a promotion rating system to
two agenciesg 1. Office of General
Services, 2, Public Services De-
partment.

“Despite our vehement protests,
OGS went through with its plans
to use promotion rating points on
@ recent series of mangewal exams.
‘The same faults of the multi-ad-
jective rating method repeated
themselves here. Instead of uni-
formity and accuracy which we
were told would be insured through
one rater in a limited geographical
locations, there were several ra-
ters, scattered over the State, who

‘Review Classes Set
By Albany Tax Unit

Frank Carrk, president of
the Albany Tax chapter, Civil
Service Employees Assn., an-
nounced last week that review
classes will be held for Tax De-
partment employees who are
eligible for the principal clerical
series.

Classes will start today (Tues,
April 13).

It is expected that 115 people
will take part in the review. Ar-
rangements for the following
sessions were made by Louise
Scarsella, chairman of the Tax
Program Planning Committee.

Arithmetic Reasoning, Personnel
Practices; The Civil Service Law;
Rules and Regulations Concerning
Personnel; Supervision and Inter-
Personal Relations, and Purchas-
ing Principles and Practices,

Instructors for the sessions are
all employees of the State Tax

terpretations, and several re~
viewers who we doubt were fami~
liar with the quality of work of
the candidates, We are more than
ever convinced that under such &
system management can pick
their own man!
‘War Not Lost

“while we have not won the
battle we have not lost the war;
for we have held the line against
extending the promotion reting
system to any other agency.

“At this juncture we wish to
thank the CSEA officers in the
Department of Public Services:
Departmental representative Mi-
chael Sewek; Metropolitan chap-
ter president P. Wexler; Albany
chapter president M. Lieberman;
and Motor Vehicle Inspectors
chapter president J. Dunford. To
our query on how their members
felt about their department's use
of promotional ratings, they con-
ducted a survey, sent out ques~
tionaires, and reported back to us
that a majority of their members
are opposed to its use.

“On the proposed rules gover
ning performance ratings our box-
score is spotty. Appeal boards were
slated for the scrapheap but we
salvaged them. Otherwise we are
at the sole mercy of the sgency
head. However, the Civil Service
Commission insists on the right
to grant the agency head the
power to over-ride the decision of
the Appeal Board. Nor would the
Commission agree to personal
hearings on appeals, Our insist.
ence on the right of every employ-
@e to receive a copy of the rating
with the supervisor's comments
and the right of rebuttal will un-
doubtedly find them included in
this year's rules,

CSEA on continuing action on
the question of promotion ratings
we request the endorsement by
this body of delegates of our re-
Jeotion of this system.”

Reclassification, Reallocation Topic of W

By JOE DEASY, JR.
PERRYSBURG, April 12—Reallocation and reclassifica-

tion of civil service employees was discussed during a forum
of the Western Conference, Civil Service Employees Assn.,
held prior to the regular April meeting of the Conference

at the J.N. Adam State School recently.

‘Thomas Coyle, research analyst
for the 130,000-member Associa-
tion discussed the processing of
employee appeals for reallocation
and reclassification while Pauline
Pitchpatrick, second vice-presi-
dent of the Conference traced the
progress of a recent reallocation
appeal.

Celeste Rosenkranz, chairman of
the Conference's appeal commit-
tee acquainted the some 200 dele-
tes attending the meeting with
the services available through her
committee. Leo Bernstein, educa-
tion chairman of the Conference
was moderator for the session

Discuss Quinn-Wolfe Bill

Jack Ticen of the Correction
Department requested and re-
ceived Conference support for the
Quinn-Wolfe bill which
sently in committee in the State
Legisiature and would grant a
guaranteed 25-year retirement for
correction officers

Following the forum, Confer-
ence president William Rossiter
called for reports from the Con-
ference's committee on nomina-
tions.

George DeLong presented the

Jection or nominations from the
floor. Under Conference by-laws
the nominees must be approved
again at the next meeting of the
delegates in May.

Election Slate

‘The slate presented by the com-
mitee included:

For president: Melba Binn and

dent: Pauline Pitchpatrick and

Corresponding secretary: Ethel
Colby and Mary Brady; recording
secretary: Jean Palmatier and

Resolution Proposed

Miss Rosenkranz urged the del-
egates to consider a resolution
which would—should the State's
budget fail to pass prior to the
opening of the fiscal year and
employees be faced with
pect of “a payless payday” at any
time in the future—mandate the
State to borrow money to pay
employees and not have the bur-

is pre-|

pros- |

den placed upon the employee.

She also noted that under State
Law, if the same conditions now
facing the State affected em-
|ployers in private industry, all
| wage claims would have to be
paid to employees before any other
creditors could be paid.
