80.000 Who Faced Job Loss

Now Have Chance Of Security

aaane

AAAAAAAAAAAAABBALS

THE expected signing, by the President, of a bill to soften the
gew Federal hiring program regard to 60,000 aides, would cure an
inequity that would have been dineracefu) had it been permitted to
continue,

The new hiring policy, under which the U. S. Civil Service Com-
mitvion sought to eliminate the designation of employees as “indefi-
nites", was @ complete overhauling, It wasn't exactly perfection.
Tt might have made some allowances for employees wno were on
eligible rosters when the date arrived for conversion to the new types
of status — "carcer” for the

in

top-most security standing, “career-
conditional” for the others, “indefinite” no jonger to be a designation.
‘The “indefinites” occupy permanent Jobs but have no Job permanency

themselves,

Conditions for eligibility to permanency were imposed, and al)
“indefinite” who were not appointed from @ roster, or who did not
pass a closed ov other exam that made them eligible for permanency,
were barred, They kept thelr Jobs, under # policy of lenity, but under
shaky circumstances. The Commission has announced it will revert to
the policy of filling all classified jobs from registers of eligibles, That
means many “indefinites” will lose thelr Jobs soon, all excepting those
who qualify under the terms of the new policy on status, That
policy also requires three years’ Pederal service as a condition to
permanency, or “career” status, and recommendation by the employ-
e's own uppeal.

The 80,000 were on eligible rosters, They were not appointed
from those lists. Many of them were advised by their own depart-
ments that, since they already had jobs, it was not necessary to go

ugh the motions of appointing them from the lists, which
emed then an idie operation. So, many of the 80,000 let it go at
that. Then came the Commission's rule opening permanency only to
those appointed from a list,

The requirement of departmental recommendation could have
been omitted. It is the same problem as exists in NYC, which re-
quires that employees, to be entitled to an annual increment, must
have rendered satisfactory service during the previous year. This
discretionary power, in either Instance, could be abused. If an em-
ployee's unsatisfactory, he ix not entitled to an Incre-
ment, or to permane Nobody unfit for a job should be permitted |
to continue in it, but the unfitness should be proved at a hearing at
which the employee is entitled to be represented by an agent of
his own choosing, for instance, # lawyer, or a leader of an employee
organization.

Opportunity will be afforded Federal “indefinites" who did not
pass an exam, hence are not on a list, to get on one, by passing a}
non-competitive teat during the fret year after the signing of the)
bill

ervices are

A note is at hand from John T, DeGraff, counsel to the Civil
Service Employees Association, calling attention to the fact that the
State safeguards employees fvom sulury cuts in cases of downgrading. |
For many years the Feld-Hamilion Law bas made that provision, he
paints out, in cases of downgrading either by reallocation or reclass-
fication, He adds; * |

‘The special reallocation act passed last year gives even greater
protection and provides that in any such case the employee shall
receive not only his present salary but sliall also receive any Incre-
ments to which he would have been entitled until he reaches the
muximum salary of his posilion prior to its reclassification or reallo-
cation.”

I referred, without indentification,
which an employee sued for full salary
Hotaling case. Mr. DeGrall comments:

“The Hotaling action, to which you were apparently referring, is
not a case where the State tried to collect a difference in pay. The
action, which thus far has been successful, is to compel the State to
pay more than the maximum salary provided for the position prior to
its downgrading. In the Hotaling case the old title was reallocated to a
higher grade on October 1, 1954, and we are trying to collect the sal-
ary for the higher grade. The State hay continued to pay the maxi-
mum salary established for the position prior te October 1, 1954, al-
though the title of the position was reclassified downward on that
date."

CSEA Views on New Colores Plan

THE CSEA has endorsed the new grievance proced-

ure promulgated in Governor Harriman’s executive order
although there is no employee representative on the top

dministrative board,

We helieve that, on the whole, the new order em-

bodies the most forward-looking policies and proceedings
in this field that have yet been adopted in any jurisdiction,
The new grievance procedures, which have developed
from our conferences with the administration during the
past six months, contain most of the basic provisions that
the CSEA has sought during the past 10 years,

Confidence in Board Appointments
Although we have consistently maintained that there

should be employee representation on the top administra-

ve board, we are willing to give the three-man board,
ith two public representatives, a fair trial because of our

confidence in the type of appointments we may expect
| from Commission President Alexander A. Falk, and the
jstatements of Governor Harriman emphasizing his inter-
est in good employee-management relations and his desire
to establish workable procedures for the settlement of
grievances in public employment

We Must Give Co-operation

On our part, we shall give the Administration our
holehearted co-operation in the endeavor to obtain just

solutions of grievances, complaints and inequities in the
State service.

We agree with the statement of Commis-
‘oner Falk that there is much to be learnt in this field;

are located, they can be eliminated; that

ese procedures should take— the essence of the Gov-
Order should be written into law,
In the meantime, we shall advise all Association mem-

~ Spotlight

On Labor Dept.

With this issue, The LEADER inaugurates a new feature,
“Spotlight on the Labor Department,” exclusively for em
ployees of that State department, The Editor will be glad te
receive suggestions on topics te be discussed.

THREE State Labor Department employees, all fairly close to re~
tirement are up on disciplinary charges that could biast their retire-
mont privileges and their lives,

EMPLOYEE A ie « Statistical Clerk, and has been with the Di-
vision of Employment 14 years, Charges were filed against him based
on alleged incompetency and misconduct going back to January 1,
1953.

Nine hearings were held before Harry L Rosen, the Division's
hearing officer. As this is written, no decision has yet been rendered,
although one is momentarily expected,

For the year 1953, employee A recelved s grade of superior on his
Work Performance Rating Report. This grade was approved on the
report by the supervisor who initiated the charges. For 1954, Em-
ployee A received « grade of Good. The same supervisor gave this
grade.

Attorney for Employee A argued that the Division could pot
properly go behind these reports and dredge up old material against
an employee for periods during which it had rated him well. From
the time the employee receives @ favorable rating, the attorney ar-
gued, the year is closed and he has « right to rely on that rating for
all purposes. Any other conclusion would impair the value of the re-
porting system.

Despite these arguments, evidence was taken to show that the
employee did not do good work and that he was guilty of misconduct
during the years when he was rated Superior and Good.

se 6

EMPLOYEE B is an Employment Manager, having held that title
for more than 18 years. He is at present assistant office manager im
& busy area,

Employee B and the manager of the office had an altercation on
May 26. Employee B, who maintains he was provoked, pushed the
office manager with his hand, and the latter fell, He claimed he suf-
fered a contusion of his leg, There is apparently no serious damage.

Employee B admitted the incident, but maintained in justifica-
tion that he had been goaded, adding that he was in acute ill health
at the time. This was corroborated by the fact that within ten days
he was taken to the hospital with coronary attack which his at-
torney says was precipitated by the incident.

‘The hearing was conducted on July 15. There has been no de-
cision to date,

EMPLOYEE C is an employment manager in a Manhattan local
office. He has been employed by the Division since 1932, and has been

office manager since 1937, He is charged with unapproved absences
over three specific days. The hearing was held on July 22.

Long-term employees, all three feel that severe penalties could
blast their lives, None have extended “bad” rcords. They're awaiting
the decisions with obvious anxicty.

State Commission to Aid
Joint Study of Contract
Hiring; Abuses Admitted

The State Civil Service Commis- contract employment in the State
sion should Investigate contract} service, sifting out those which are

employment, the Civil Service Re-
form Association recommended in
@ letter to Commission Chairman
Alexander A, Falk.

‘The reform group thinks the
Commission should undertake the
task because contract employment
is often used as « device for evad-
ing the State Constitution and the
Civil Service Law, Those enact~
ments provide that, with certain
exceptions, that Jobs must be filled
on the basis of merit and fitness
as determined by examinations
which, so far aa practicable, shall
be competitive. Contract jobs are
filled on a freely appointive basis,

Reform Group's Stand

‘The association is also interested
in the pension phases of contract
employment, It has strong con-
victions that no person hired in
violation of the Constitution and
the Civil Service Law should be
eligible for membership in any
public retirement system.

James R. Watson, executive @-
rector of the association, in the
letter to Chairman Falk, recalled
that the first case In which con-
tract employment was successfully
challenged, because in much hiring
it constituted a violation of the
statutes, was brought by the asso-
ciation, It involved NYC hiring,

Mr. Watson asked the Com-
mission te “investigate all cases of

not in accord with the intent of
the law and putting a stop to them,
Such an investigation would con-
tribute directly to good civil serv-
fee administration and would be
in the public interest."

Falk's Reply

Mr. Falk replied as follows:

“I think we are all in agreement
that contracts have their place im
the scheme of things and that no
effort should be made to prohibit
them altogether, On the other
hand, there is some evidence that
through the years abuses have
crept in; some of the contracts
for services and facilities have been
Uttle more than regular employ-
ments which should have been sub-
Ject to normal civil service stan-
dards and practices.

“Accordingly, I am In agreement
that we should make some study
of this matter. However, I think you
should realize that the Civil Serv-
fee Department, is only one of four
or five agencies which must pasa
om and have concern with these
contractual agreements, Contracts
of this type must be approved by
the Attorney General and by the
Department of Audit and Control,
‘The Division of the Budget must
concur from the fiscal point of
view, Also, of course, the depart
ment which makes the contract
has ® major stake.”

MEET THOMAS ROHAN

Chairman, State

THOMAS EDWARD ROHAN,
q@airman of the State Liquor Au-
thority, says quietly: “One of my
top objectives in to build up om-
ployee morale in my agency.”

Aware of the buffeting which
the agency and its employees have
suffered in recent months, Com-
missioner Rohan is proceeding
slowly, getting acquainted with his
aldea, learning their problems, do-
ing what he can to ease the ter-
rif lc tension that has hit the de-
partment since the probe initiat-
ed by the State Commissioner of
Tavestigation

Salaries In Line With Work

One conviction the new agency
head Is reaching can be spelled out
fm a short sentence: Public em-
Dloyees should be paid salaries in
Une with the duties they perform.
He ls sympathetic with the as-
pirations of his aides for pay
scales that would lend greater
Prestige to their tasks, and tend
te attract and hold a high type
@f worker in the Authority.

The employees have carried
their case for higher pay before
the State Classification and Com-
pensation Division, and there have
been some upgradings. But they
maintain that these are far from
adequate. Some have even been
downgraded at the entrance
levels. Beverage control investiga~
tors, for example, had a beginning
salary of $4,053 under the old
grades, In the new schedules, the
entrance level has been reduced |
te $3,920. At maximum, there is|
only a $60. r difference be-!
tween the new and the old grades. |
Im other words, an investigator
who has been on the job for five
yeara can expect an increase of
about $1 a week.

There are executive officera in
local ABC boards, performing
eomplex, sensitive duties who come
fm at an entrance salary of about
968 a week!

Hearing reporters of the Author-
fty are contesting the determin-
ation of their salary grades. Inct-
dentally, their titles also carry a
pay cut at the opening level,

Attorneys earning $6,000 a year}
eften do battle with opposite num~
bers earning five times as much.

Even deputy commissioners are
slotted at a pay level of some
$8,000—incredibly low for the
tasks assigned them, and not at
all im relationship to the pay of
deputies in New York City agen-
chee

He'll Tell The Governor

‘These are matters the new com-
missioner ix thinking about and
worrying about. There is a learn-
tug process involved in taking over
any government agency—particu-
Jarly one so convoluted as the
@LA. Tom Rohan plunged in right
after Governor Harriman appoint-
@@ him; he's been working long
hours in endeavoring to straighten
eut, clarify and streamline pro-
eedures, Near the top of his lst
ef “must” projects is the upbuild-
fag of the employee corps, When
he speaks with the Governor's Of-
fice, he will make clear his opin~
fens oa the requirements of an
‘agency which is different In fune-
fon and structure from any oth-
@. He feels that to do the job he
wants done he must have employ-

ees who are contented with their |
emoluments and happy in thelr)
work. He is rapidly filling vacan-
es, only last week having sworn
tm three deputies for the Buffalo
are.

he can achieve his objective by de-
veloping a cooperative, rather than
& resistive, attitude im the indus-
try.
He's Unpretentious

Tom Rohan is an easy man to
be with. Although his public life
has included two terms on the
bench, he has not developed an
aura of pomposity. He talks easily
and unpretentiously, He gives
the impression that he would
be equally st ease with a

Higher Pay for
Public Officials

t was heartening to find the leaders of NYC employee

groups unanimous in indorsing salary increases for top
officials and their deputies. The employees realize that the
boss has as much right to be adequately paid as the bossed.
The employees no doubt realize also that when the boss
gets a raise, that does not injure their own prospects of
receiving similar treatment,

Certainly $25,000 a year for a commissioner who
heads a NYC department is not too much. He may have
hundreds or thousands of employees under him, and his
department may render services to millions of people.

The Board of Estimate recently voted $597,250 in
pay increases to 242 executives and judges, with a $25,-
000 maximum for department heads.

The amount was not too much; if a criticism is to be
made, it could be that the amount was much too lit-
tle, Running a police department, a fire department, a wel-
fare department, a civil service agency in a large city, is
a job as important as the presidency of a large corpora-
tion. The pay should recognize this fact. A start has been
made.

Finally the day nmust arrive when government meets
competitive pay scales, both for the top officials and the
run of employees, otherwise government will continue to
lose some of its best officials. NYC has just lost the ser-
vices of two capable officials, Francis W. H. Adams as
Police Commissioner, and Gordon Clapp, former chairman
of the Tennessee Valley Authority, as Deputy City Ad-
ministrator. Such resignations should not happen, and

would not, if government lived up fully to its responsibili-
ties on pay.

Pay Must Fit Job

On individual salary raises, criticisms may be voiced,
The total roster appeared fairly consistent. We cannot un-
derstand, however, why the Commissioner of Sanitation
was pegged at $25,000, the Commissioner of Welfare
at $22,500, Nor de we see why the Budget Director
was lifted to a $25,000 figure, while the Director of
Personnel was left at $22,500. It is not the amounts that
are the most important factors in these cases, The prin-
ciple of equality between the Budget Director and the Di-
rector of Personnel is one that has importance to the
Mayor's concept that personnel operation is of major sig-
nificance, The ascendency of the Budget Director's office
over personnel, long a controversial item in the City, is em-
phasized by the higher pay awarded the Budget Director.
It seems to us that the pay of Henry L. McCarthy, Com-
missioner of Welfare, and Joseph Schechter, Director of
Personnel, should be brought to $25,000, up from the $22,-
600 each has been allotted,

The pay must be fitted to the job. One civic group,
commenting before the Board of Estimate, said that some-
times the appointee may not be worth his salt. In govern-
ment, where top appointments are often dictated by poli-
tical considerations, that may happen frequently. Better
to pay the unworthy official occasionally too much than to
have a policy that results in paying the worthy too little.

Mayor Wagner moved in the proper direction when
he recommended the upgradings of his top aides.

‘Comment

INSTITUTIONAL EMPLOYEES
VICTIMS OF LONG WEEK

Editor, The LEADER:

The great controversy over the
40-hour week for institutional em-
ployees, with no loss in take home
Pay, has its interesting aspects,
The victims are the institutional
employees working more than 40
hours a week.

In the early years following
World War II, positions in New
York State Institutions did not
attract as many applicants as in
previous years, Salary, hours and
working conditions as a whole
were better in private industry,
Jobs were plentiful with good op-
portunities for advancement, so
why take a State job requiring
one to move to a new environ-
ment, necessitating an added ex-
pense? Many who were on civil
service lists turned the offers
down and the positions were filled
temporarily by individuals living
in the locality of an institution
because it did not mean breaking
up the home. The same situation
exists today,

Institutional positions are the
hardest to fill. Two examinations
for prison guards have been ne-
cessary in less than two years.
State hospitals haye @ more ser-
fous employment problem and at
Present operate with anywhere
from one to perhaps 20 per cent
temporary help.

Hours, Pay To Biame

So many factors enter the plc-
ture it would tnke pages to en-
umerate them all, The temporary
cost of living wages dangled over
the heads of the employees for
one and sometimes two years did
ttle to lesen the problem, Why
is the employment situation in
institutions so critical? Hours and
salary are much to blame,

‘The State each year advertises
for “career men” to enter State
service but offers no inducements
for the potential Institutional em-~-
ployee, The odds for a career are
small, promotions are few. A unin-
formed employee starts State ser-
vice expecting such things as
good salary, pension and fringe
benefits, The huge turnover of
personnel in State service attests
to the unfulfilled hopes,

The State put itself into a dif-
ficult position by not providing a
real 40-hour week 4n 1947. The
reasons for this, I believe, were
that applicants for institutional
Jobs were few and tt seembd tm-
possible to give a 40-hour week
as existing lst could not fill the
vacancies such ® move would
create, Institutional employees
Were put on a basic 40-hour week
but continued to work 44 and 48
hours with straight pay for over-
time,

‘Temporary’ Arrangement

At that time it seemed like a
temporary arrangement until suf-
ficient potentials could be found
to make these jobs 40 hours, but
what happened? For elght years
institutional employees have
worked overtime the sixth day,
‘The law requires private industry
to pay time and one half for over-
time, but the State pays only
straight time.

Did this overtime have any
bearing on the base pay of these
‘employees? You can bet it did!
Comparable employees throughout
the United States with a 40-hour
Week got raises but when it came
to comparing salaries, base pay for
institution workern could not
possibly have been figured on base
pay but overall salary which in-
eluded overtime. Only with over-
time have the salaries of prison
guards kept up with correction
officers in NYC, California and
elsewhere,

State prison guards appealed
their salary allocation under the

TiMe ore”

A FRIEND of ours in the State
Labor Department office passed
along this story about a letter
received in his office,

Seems that a chap doing busi-
ness with the department died
suddenly, leaving his affairs in a
terrific mess, Among the unfin-
ished business was an important
letter to the department Jeft un-
mailed,

Before sending it off at Jast, the
dead man’s secretary apparently
felt the delay required some ex-
planation, So, beneath the man’s
signature she added a post script;

“Since writing this letter T have
died.”

A HOUSING inspector reports
back with this complaint from a
tenant.

Said the man: “I've got. six
brothers and we all live in one
room, too. One has 12 monkeys
and another one has 12 dogs.
‘There's no fresh ait in the room

and it's terrible to live there.
You've got to do something about
tt"

“Well,” said the inspector, “why
don't you open the windows?"

“What?" screamed the tenant,
‘and lose my 50 pigeons?” ‘

es j

WE READ a report the other
day that most tax cuts are being
held over until next year because
of it being an election year. That
must be what is happening to all
those pay raises promised Jast

AS I AM a Federal “indefinite”

ice, am I not entitled to perman-

uary 23 last, and were on an eligible

would suffice for top-ranking status
of “carver”.

WHEN an eligible list Is estab-

Any existing list in that title?

M.L.O'C,

Answer — Not necessarily, The
rule is as you state it, but there are
exceptions, For instance, In an-!
nouncing a test, a civil service
commission might state that the
current list would be continued un~
til depleted, or its expiration by)
operation of law; or, for a particu-|
lar test, a commission might amend

wise would expire to continue. NYC
recently made such a change to
permit eligibles to be appointed to

SHOULD not the opportunities

body starting in government em-
Ploy can see just what he might

WHAT is the background of
temporary raises recently granted
by the State? ck

Answer — As one way of stim~
ulating recruitment and retaining
employees, the State adopts a
variable minimum salary. Appoint-
ments may be made, or salaries
raised, temporarily to a step in the
grade higher than minimum. The
Classification and Compensation
Division of the State Civil Service
Department allowed temporary in-
creases in six State titles, under
that provision, Two of the actions
were statewide in effect: super-
visor of English education, and
supervisor of mathematics educa~
tion, new pay of each, $7,936, The
four other titles apply in specific
locations: associate industrial hy-
giene physician, Buffalo and NYC,
$9,346; maintenance man, (mason
and plasterer), Willard State Hos~
pital, $3,202; mason and plasterer,
Willard, $3,920; and social worker,
(psychiatric), in N¥C, $3,920,

THE LOSER’S CIRCLE

Horse-racing is strictly super-
vised by New York State, both at
the “running” and the harness-
racing tracks. State employees do
the job, whether it is checking on
saliva or tattoo marks, for inte-
grity or identification, or seeing
that the State gets its full share of
the amounts wagered.

‘The public is bound to lose money
at the races, Of the amount bet,
about 15 percent at the harness
tracks represents taxes, or the
“take,” as horse-players call it,
while at the running a the per-
centage is about 16.7, However,
lovers have the consolation of
knowing that the deduction is made
only from cashable tickets,

Since general loss is Inevitable,

horse-players try to get out of the
Joser’s circle by attempting shrewd

selections, and betting intelligently,
Even the experts find the task
dificult.

Bad Lovers Cry Fraud

Bad losers frequently say a race
was fixed when it was not, that the
Photo of the close finish showed
the horse they bet on coming in
second, whereas he won, and the
camera shifted to benefit of poli-
ticlans and track officials,

‘The reasons why the losers can't
beat the races are stated this way:
they are not expert handicappers,
as selectors are called, and the
“tale” is tough opposition,

Despite careful checking, im-
stances of wrongdoing are rare,
Some impartial observers say that
racing is more honest than most
Of the persons who cry fraud, a

appeal, if approved, would have
brought base pay up to parity with
other groups doing similar work
for a 40-hour, five day week.
State employees seck raixes or

reallocation to bring them up to
the standard of equal pay for
equal work. In the case of the

pay, or ten per cent for 44-hour
employees and 20 per cent for

this aim,

CIVIL SERVICE LEADER

NEWBURGH, Aug, 8 — Salary and work-week adjustments, and
better vacation, sick leave and emergency leave benefits are being
sought by employees of the City of Newburgh.

Heading the list of employee requests is the following vacation
schedule: one week off for six months’ service; two weeks for one
year's service, three weeks for two years’ service, and four weexs for
10 years’ service,

The program was submitted to members of the City Council by
Anthony J, Ciccone, president of the City of Newburgh unit, Civil
Service Employees Association,

‘The CSEA group hopes to sit down with City officials to in-
formally discuss the aides’ requests,

“We've submitted our program early," Mr, Ciccone sald, “so
that the Council members will have ample time to study our recom-
mendations.”

The employees also seek:

Paid sick leave cumulative to 150 working days on the basis of
15 working days a year, retroactive in ratio to the number of years
of past service of each employer;

Paid holidays, or a day in lieu thereof, for ench of the following:
New Years Day, Lincoln's Birthday, Washington's Birthday, Memorial
Day, Independence Day, Labor Day, Election Day, Armistice Day,
Thanksgiving Day, Christmas and Good Friday;

Maximum 40-hour work week with no loss in pay;

‘Time and a half for overtime alter 40 hours;

Maximum five-day leave in case of a family emergency, three
days in the event of death in the immediate family — neither of
these to be chargeable againat sick leave or vacation,

Establishment of a salary plan based on the principle of equal
pay for equal work, and equal to salary levels in private employment,

Binghamton Cops Try Raise by Referendum

BINGHAMTON, Aug, 8 — Binghamton police and firemen have
the support of the Police Conference of New York State, in their
efforts to win a pay raise.

John J. Grevert, a Yonkers patrolman, said the Police Confer-
ence, of which he is president, will give advice and facts and figures
concerning police pay and working conditions in ities of similar size. |

Binghamton police will seek their raise through action of the
City Council, and if this fails throug’ a referendum in November.

Current pay i $3,718 a year. The referendum would amead the
clty charter to set a $4,500 minimum on salary for first grade patrol-
men and firemen, instead of $3,718, and corresponding pay boosts
for other grades,

“The desirable average salary for first grade patrolmen ts $5,000,"
Mr, Grevert noted, in a recent visit to the Broome County community.
"The Binghamton officers are definitely underpaid.”

In Yonkers, the conference president said, experienced police
officers receive $4,600, and expect a boost to $5,000 next year,

Pay Raise Bid Brings 131 Members to Nassau

MINEOLA, Aug. 8 — A pay raise, job reclassification and exten-
sion of social security coverage has been asked for Nassau County
workers by the Nassau Chapter, Civil Service Employees Association.

The demands were presented to Nassau government officials
by Irving Flaumenbaum, CSEA chapter president, who announced
that a blanket 7 per cent pay increase ts being sought for 6,000 county
workers.

Mr. Flaumenbaum sald he has already had preliminary discus-
sions on the pay boost with George A. Freir, deputy county executive,
and was informed the matter “would be taken under advisement,’
Job reclassification for the entire county and social security cov:
ye for per diem workers Is also being sought. The CSEA chapter's
efforts on behalf of per diem workers previously brought them a 5-day
work week with six days pay and 11 paid holidays,

Noting that Nassau County employees bad not received any
salary raise in three years, Mr, Plaumenbaum stated “It is time we
were aligned with other government units in receiving salary in-
creases necessary to cope with increasing living costa, We are only
asking what we need — and no more than that,”

Mr, Flaumenbaum said not only has he received over a hundred
telephone calls supporting his efforts but that one work unit with
131 employees has asked to join his CSEA chapter to help out in the
efforts for the pay raise and future workers needs,

40-Hour Week

without loss of pay.

“Institutional employees have
made the 40-hour, five-day week
the Number One request of the
Administration for several years,
but made little headway until last
year, when Governor Harriman,
among other promises, listed a 40-
bour, five-day week for all State
employees — thus boosting the
@orale of institutional workers.”

Delegates of the Correction Con-
ference and MHEA are planning
to mect with Administration offi-
cials in the near future to discuss

tional employees are working, and |
to help them in thelr request for |
@ 40-hour week with no loss in
pay.

tion,” Mr, Marriman said, “is to
insure to State employees the
right to full freedom of association,
self-organization and designation
of all representatives of their own
choosing for the purpose of ad~
Justment of their grievances—
free from interference, restraint,
coercion or reprisal—to the end
that a more harmonious and co-
operative relationship will be es-
tablished between the State and
its employees,”

Better Than Anti-Strike Law

Governor Harriman reiterated
his opposition to the Condon-
Wadlin Act prohibiting strikes of
public employees, He emphasized
that an adequate procedure for
the settlement of differences be-
tween employees and management

| will be more effective in promoting

good employee relations than anti-
strike legislation,
3-Man Board

The Governor's order estab-
lishes in the Civil Service Depart-
ment a three-member Grievance
Board, the members of which are
to be named by the President of
the Civil Service Commission. The
Chairman of the board will be a
member of the staff of the De-
partment of Civil Service; the
other two will be “public” mem-

bers, Appointments to the board

will be made at an early date,
‘As Simple As Possible”

To keep the procedure as simple
and informal as possible, the order
provides that the employee may
present his grievance in the first
instance to his supervisor. If a
satisfactory solution is not
achieved, the employee may go to
the department head or that of-
ficial's designated representative.
Tf that the grievance still can not
be satisfactorily resolved the em~
ployee may appeal to the griev-
ance board which will, after hear-
ing, make determinations and re-
commendations,

The executive order prescribes
basic requirements, but each de-
partment and a) 'y 1s to estab-
lish, subject to approval of the
grievance board, its own detailed
grievance procedure.

Departmental Responsibilities

Governor Harriman called upon
all department and agency heads
to recognize the responsibility of
supervisors for achieving effective
employee relations; to provide
adequate training in human rela-
tions for supervisory personnel; to
recognize the need for creating
and utilizing in their organizations
strong and effective personne! of-
fices with adequate employee
counseling facilities; and to elim-
inate causes of dissatisfaction be-
fore they become formal com-
plaints oF grievances,

Types of Grievances Affected

The new grievance procedures
Apply to “conditions which are in

“Human Side

the Tax Dept.

———

Who Are The REAL Tax Delinquents?

THE LEADER recently carried an editorial advising all civil
servants to file their Income tuxes, Here's a letter from a State em~

ment. So this column runs the letter just as received. As to the
charges made, we can't comment; we just don't know. But we'll be
glad to report any comment the Tax Department wishes to make.

Dear Sir:

I have read, with considerable Interest, your editorial “Warnl
to a few Civil Servants" which appeared in the July 19 edition
the Civil Service LEADER, As it contains a very familiar line
threats, I am {nclined to feel that the material for this editorial .
was furnished by the Income Tax Division, It would seem that
are unfamiliar with some of the goings on in the Division of In-
come Tax, Maybe the job of investigating tax returns is not being —
done as carefully as you have been Jed to believe. Or maybe that
wonderful new machine needs fixing, badly. Let me tell you a story
which may shed some light on why ‘failure of employees to file re~
turns is already assuming proportions that must be considered
grave.”

I am a State employee, working in a small group of seven peo~
ple, all working under the same title. Over a period of only a few
years, four of use have received notices that the Income Tax Divi-
sion had no record of us filing income tax returns for a given year,
Two of us have received two of these notices each during that time,
All with the usual threats of terrible things that could happen te
us. In not a single one of these cases was the taxpayer delinquent

‘The ‘Victims’ .

‘The first victim was an elderly gentleman, of the highly ner=
vous type, who couldn't find his receipt and almost worried him-
self sick. Finally he remitted the amount of the tax again, Later
his money was refunded and he was advised that a mistake had
been made. The second victim was of the hard-boiled type and,
after finding his cancelled check, he vowed, to use his words, that
they could go to hell. Evidently they did as he claimed that he
heard no more about the matter, The third victim sent in all of the
requested information and has never been extended the courtesy of
being notified that his record was cleared, Today, he received an-
other such notice for the year 1963, making two of such for him,

And now for my story. About the first of February, 1963, 1 re-
celved a notice that the Income Tax Division had no record that
I had filed a return for the year 1952, Complete with the usual
threats of penalties, fines and jail. In my income tax file, (I ad-
vise every law abiding taxpayer in New York State to keep one and
guard it with his life), I found the cancelled check along with —
voucher showing that I had overpaid my tax and had received,
and cashed, a refund check from the Income Tax Division. I filled
out the blank with the requested information, giving the payment
number which was stamped on both the check and the voucher,
and returned it to the Income Tax Division, Inasmuch as the In=
come Tax Division was in error, don't you think that I was en=
titled lo the courtesy of a notice that the error had been adjusted?
So do I, but I never received such a notice.

Some time later, I called at the Income Tax Office in Albany
seeking information as to whether or not this matter had been
adjusted, At that time, I was told that the folders were pulled for
the purpose of sending out income tax forms and that my folder
was not available, They took my name and address and assured me
that the matter would be checked and a notice sent to me as soom
as the folder was available. This was never done.

Waited A Year

After one year of waiting, I again called at the Main Office
of the Income Tax Division and demanded to see some one in au-
thority on this matter, I was placed in contact with the Senior
Administrative Supervisor. After a hurried search of the files, he
informed me that he could find no record of all of this correspond-
ence and that he would cause a thorough search to be made and
contact me by mall A few days later, I received a letter from
him which reads in part as follows, “I regret very much that I am
unable to locate the file at the present time.” And, so far as I
know, there is still no record in the office of the Income Tax Divi+
ston that I filed a return for 1052,

Now don't you think that it is very strange that the Income
Tax Division should send me an income tax form under my correct
name, that T fill it out and return it signed with my correct name
and enclose a check with the same name, that the Income Tax Di-
vision stamp this check with a payment number and cash it, thas
they find that I have overpaid my tax, send me a voucher and re«
fund check all with the same payment number stamped on thom,
that they send them to the correct name and address, that thelr
records show that I filed no return for that year? Later I am ine
formed by a high-ranking official of the Division that he can find
no record of all of this transaction.

And the end is not yet in sight, On May 23 of this year, I re-
ceived another of those well-known notices that there was no re-
cord that I had filed @ return in 1954. This notice is filed away,
with the cancelled check clipped to it. There it Is golng to stay and
it is going to be a sad day for someone in the Income Tax Division
if T hear anything more about it, as I am going to build a fire un-
der someone. Let me assure you of one thing, If I ever receive an
other such notice or hear any more about not filing Income tax re-
turns, this story will go straight to the Governor of the State of
New York,

If the experiences of our small group ia any example, I am
gure that thousands of law-abiding taxpayers of the State of New
York are boing subjected to the same kind of disgraceful trouble
and inconveniences at the hands of the Income Tax Division,
