Gets Pension Increase,
Loses Money on the Deal

Of the monthly payments
now being made to State pen-
sioners in order to bring them
up to a minimum of $75 a
onth, these facts have come
out: Contributions range from
$65 to one local pensioner, to
seven cents going to a retired
State employee. Last week the
seven-cent man wrote the De~
partment of Audit & Control
to please stop his extra assist-
ance because the bank charged
him 10 cents ‘to process the
check, and he was losing
money on the deal.

Onondaga
Aides Win
$300 Raise

SYRACUSE, Nov. 12—Robert
Clift, president, and Vernon Tap-
per, chapter representative of the
Onondaga Chapter, CSEA, recent-
ly represented that chapter in
salary negotiations with the
Board of Supervisors for county
employees.
aranted the county employees a
pay increase of $300, and also
increased the mileage allowance
for use of cars by employees for
county purposes from 6c to 8tc
a mile,

The increase in salaries to
county employees, and car allow-
ance, was given to them without
unty having to increase the
tax rate, One of the reasons given
for this is that because of in-
creased employment, the county
was able to reduce the welfare
appropriation to $625,295 less
than the amount set up in the
1961 budget.

The Supervisors |

ALBANY, Noy, 12 — Need for
legislation to aid retired public
workers now receiving small pen- | 26,
sions is pointed up by a study of
assistance payments made to date
by the State under a temporary
aid bill passed by the 1961 legis-
lature,

Authorization for such legisia-
tion was given overwhelmingly
fast week by the voters of the
State. who balloted “yes” for
Amendment No, 3 which grants
the lawmakers power to act in
jhe matter,

1500 Applications Received

Since July 1, when the tempor-
ary assistance measure became ef-
| fective, more than 1,500 applica-
tions fdt aid have been received.

No one may now apply for
extra aid who is receiving more
than $900 annual pension, Other
clauses restrict extra aid still fur-
ther, However, providing they
qualify in other respects, all form-
er State employees getting less
than $76 monthly in pension are
paid the difference between that
figure and what they actually get,

The Figures

Under this plan, as of October
26, 750 persons had asked for aid,
126 had been rejected, and pay-
ments had been made to another
624, This last figure has been re-
duced further by discontinuance,
principally because of death, of
16 of these claims,

Tt may be assumed that a
greater part of those eligible as
cetired State employes, thus are
receiving extra aid.

However, the same assumption
may not be drawn with reference
to retired employes of other gov-
ernmental levels.

|. with 62 rejected, 4 pending

and 664 approved, Of this latter

figure, 10 had been discontinued,

again principally becquse of death.
Few Local Groups

How these figures compare with
those of retired State employees
must be viewed with the knowl-
edge that but a minority of local
government bodies eligible have
asked to be Included in the assist-
ance program.

Since the local body pays half
of the extra aid, with the State
paying the other half, many agen-
sles have not entered because of
budgetary reasons,

Cities Slow

Investigation by The LEADER
discloses that, of the 62 cities in
the state, only 20 have joined,
with Buffalo coming im only a
short time ago, New York City
has not elected to join at all. No-
table upstate city holdout is Bing-
hamton.

But 16 counties have included
their pensioners under the plan;
only 22 villages and 19 towns have
joined; 171 school

village boards of education com-
plete the total of groups included,
Over the entire period, payments
have averaged close to $20 month-
jy to the group, with about the
same unmber of pensioners getting
above that figure as below, both
in the State and local divisions.
With the recent addition of
Buffalo and Erie county to the
Program, these figures may
change, but such is not contem-
plated by Audit and Control.

Foster Potter Tells How
Assn. Mobilized to Win

‘Yes’ Vote on

ALBANY, Nov, 12 Foster
Potter, chairman of the public
relations committee of the Civil
Service Employes Association, this
week pointed out some of the
work done by the Association and
its membership in aiding in the
passage of Amendment No, 3.

Mr. Potter stated: “The chap-
ters and the membership through-
out the State should be sincerely
congratulated upon all their ef-
forts on the local level in helping
to inform the general public as to
the complete necessity of the pass-
age of this amendment. Radio
programs were set up on different
stations throughout the State by
local chapters, letters were sent
to editors of newspapers, and
publicity stories of many different
types were used in local papers.
This was vitally necessary because
of numerous misunderstandings
on the part of the general public
about ‘this amendment. Certain
opposition groups tended to play
upon these misunderstandings,
and the Association wished the
public to know what they were
actually voting for.”

Press and Radio
Mr. Potter coninued: “The As-

sociation itself put out a folder,)

containing factual material,
which could be used for publicity
stories; a §-minute radio script
that could be used on local sta-
tions when those stations per-
mitted; and at the Jast hour, put
out a ‘Letter to the Editor’ ema-
nating from headquarters over
Jesse B, McParland’s signature.
“In addition to the above,” Mr,
Potter said, “the Association pur-
chased spot announcements that
were used in the following cities
on Monday, November 5th:
Binghamton, Elmira, Utic
Poughkeepsie, Rochester (2 sta-
tions), Syracuse, Plattsburg, and
Buffalo, In every case such air
time was purchased on the most
powerful station in the area so
that the widest possible spread

se,

Amendment 3

into the outlying sections trom
these cities could be obtained.”

“In Albany,” said Mr. Potter,
“Jesse B. McFarland ased the 5<
minute radio script from radio
station WROW on Thursday,
November 1, On Monday night,
November 5, John J. Kelly, Jr.
assistant counsel to the Associa~
tion, appeared on the popular
‘Open Forum’ which emanates
from the auditorium of Skidmore
College. The title of the. debate
was ‘Should Amendment No, 3,
Providing for Increased Pensions,
be passed.’ Mr, Kelly spoke for
the affirmative in opposition to
Homer E. Scace, Department of
Governmental Affairs, Empire
State Association of Comnierce,
and the program was aired over
WGY, This big 50,000-watt sta
in Schenectady has wide
coverage over the entire Albany
area and many adjoining coun-
tes.

‘Coordination’

‘The program lasted for one-
half hour, Each of the speakers
was given five minutes to present
their story, and three minutes was
allowed for rebuttal, They were
then asked questions from the
floor, Also on Monday evening, a
program was broadcast at 8:30
from Station WROW in Albany
that had been tape-recorded the
previous Thursday evening. This
Program featured William F. Mc-
Donough, executive assistant te
the president, for the affirmative
against Mr. Scace, Department of
Governmental Affairs, Empire
State Association of Commerce.
The program was sponsored by the
League of Women Voters, and was
also an ‘Open Forum’ type.

Mr, Potter concluded: “I feet
that this was an outstanding ex~
ample of the coordination that
can be achieved between head-
quarters and the chapters in =
combined public relations pro-
motion supporting a given propo-

sition.”

The Pub

THE PEOPLE ENDORSE

lic

A HUMANE AMENDMENT

HE PEOPLE of the State have endorsed. by a very

large vote, the oft-presented proposal during war
and post-war years, of the Civil Service Employees Asso-

ciation, for legislative atten’
quate pensions of retired

tion to adjustment of inade-
public employees.

Social security as it relates to the aiding of super-
annuated or disabled workers is today an integral part
of all sound employment plans in our democracy. The
benefits inherent in the State Retirement System and in
other public retirement systems in this State have long
been an important factor in attracting to and retaining
in public service highly competent men and women who

would not be interested if th

e sole reward was the current

salary. This has served to increase the efficiency and

economy of government.
People Saw

The Problem

In approving Amendment No. 3, the people were

quick to see that the many

retired oldsters were actually

in serious distress, due to recdiving pensions based upon
actuarial computations in which the low salary received
during the past decades when they were employed as

teachers, hospital

attendants,

clerks, stenographers,

nurses, tradesmen and many other titles in public service,
was the big determining item, They realized that these

elderly people had no control whatsoever over economic
changes which have reduced the purchasing power of

the dollar to 54 cents .

Legislative Attention Is Next
Approval of this amendment now requires legisla-
tive attention to the matter. The problem is not yet
solved. Now we must study all factors carefully to help
insure that any legislation adopted to implement Amend-
ment No, 3 is sound and wise. We do not expect unreason-
able requests from those honestly affected and interested,

We sincerely hope that havi:

ing noted the need, the people

will be prompt to meet it. We hope that the many progres-
sive groups which supported the amendment will join in
perfecting just laws to carry it out, These include the
Citizens Budget Commission, the State Bar Association,
the Board of Regents, the State Teachers Association, the
Retired Teachers Association. and many civic-minded indi-
viduals and groups. We hope also that those who opposed

it will join with those who

supported it to the end that

complete understanding and acceptance will guide in the

solution of the problem.

7 Correction

ALBANY, Nov. 12 — The posi-

Some Hard, Sad
Facts on Pay

UBLIC employees and pensioners can look only with
dismay at headlines such as this one which appeared
on page 1 of the New York Times last Friday:
PRICE RISES COMING
IN GOODS AND MEAT

The Office of Price Stabilization has already made
the sad news public.

Those who work for government agencies, like others
on fixed income, find themselves constantly falling behind.

The new information will have to be considered by
all government units in wage rate negotiations. It will
necessarily be a factor in pending salary negotiations be-
tween New York State and representatives of State
employees. It will certainly require study by the three-
man formal hearings board which will listen to suggestions
on the new NYC career-and-salary plan, as an economic
factor which wasn't present when the Griffenhagen wage
schedules were recorded. It will be a formidable argument
in every wage negotiation at county, city and other local
levels.

Economics, once a fairly esoteric art practiced mainly
in scholastic environments, becomes a pressing issue to
all of us. Many public officials need more resilience than
they have in the past displayed when dealing with the
impact of price-and-cost changes upon the lives of public
workers. The employees themselves need to use their
economic arguments with greater effectiveness. The state-
ment by Mr. DiSalle last week is a powerful argument for
a wage increase to public employees. Actions such as
the recent one in Yonkers, where voters turned down a pro-
posed $500 pay increase for local employees, indicate
that public employees do not always use the tools of
public relations effectively.

Incidentally, we like the clean-cut principle stated
in the Griffenhagen career-and-salary plan, a principle
which applies to all government units: “The obligation
to pay a fair wage is a first lien on City Income.”

Meat-Axe Methods
In Civil Service

HE Federal Government is engaged in a most awkward

personnel struggle,

It seeks to limit the cost of administering the govern-
ment by limiting the services that the government renders,
That is the inevitable result of personnel ceilings, such as
now exist, whereby departments and agencies may under-
take no new hiring, for a while.

That meat-axe method can exist only in government, A
private industrial corporation could not survive if it attempt-
ed any such ruthless method.

The whims of Congress sometimes inflict severe hard-
ships on Federal administrators. Now it is personnel ceil-
ings, next some amendment that heaves employees out of
jobs, interferes with their annual leave and stymies their
promotions, as well as forcing sacrifice of permanent status
on transfer. Then along come some belated Congressional
efforts to offset the rigors of the previous ineptitude, An
example is the recent changes in the Whitten amendment,
which originally wreaked havoc to job security, but
through the successful intercession of, the U. 8, Civil Serv-
ice Commission is now at least on a semi-sane basis,

Experience dictates that the U- 8, Civil Service Com-
mission had better be seriously consulted before any more
tampering takes place with U, 8. jobs, for that agency is
alive to the needs of the service, which Congress often
ignores, and could scarcely be accused of spendthrift policies,

In discussing this matter, how-

In an interview, the Democratic

almost painful for him to admit story

An example of the manner in
which times have changed is Alex-

in which he discusses the Com-

WHAT EVERY EMPLOYEE SHOULD KNOW

CAN YOU BE PROMOTED
ALTHOUGH LAID OFF?

IF YOU have been laid off
from a competitive class job be-
cause of lack of work or funds,
you are entitled to have your
mame entered upon @ preferred
lst for reinstatement to the same
or a similar position, Accordingly,
if a vacancy is recreated you
acquire an opportunity, during
the four years of such preferred
eligibility, to be restored to active
service.

But suppose you attain a place
on a promotion list before your
lay-off? Would you lose your
status as an eligible on such list
or do you still retain the right of
promotion?

Suppose @ promotion is held
after you are laid off? and which
you could have taken if on the
job. Are you entitled to compete?
While these questions may be
academic as to you, they repre-
sented actual problems when put
to the Attorney General of the
State of New York.

Position Must Be Held

In answering these questions,
the Attorney General referred to
the provisions of Sections 16 and
31 of the Civil Service Law, deal-
ing with promotion and lay-off.

From a reading of these sec-
tions, it is apparent that promo-
tion has to be made “from among
eg holding positions in a

wer grade in the department
where the vacancy exists.”

It also appears that a person
who was laid off through no de-
linquency or misconduct on his

part “shall be deemed suspended
without pay.” The issue, then,
was whether a person who was no
longer on the payroll could be
considered holding a lower grade
Position. The Attorney General
noted that the reference to “hold-
ing positions” in a lower grade |
merely declares the general pre-|
cept that higher grade positions}
are to be filled by advancement}
from the ranks of those who heve
previously entered the service.
The Constitution neither abso-
lutely requires nor implies that
“promotion” means only advance-
ment of those prestntly working
in a lower grade.

The Attorney General pointed
out that under leaves of absence
without pay, an employee clearly |
continues to “hold his position.”
Arguing by analogy, he concluded
that a person laid off from his
job still “holds* it during the
following four years. During such
time spent on the preferred list,
the employee is not deemed to
have a “break” in his service,
Only such termination as resig-
nation or dismissal would seem
to constitute a complete break
in service,

Lay-off and Promotion

Concluding that an employee
laid off still holds his job for
purposes of promotion, the At-
torney General ruled that if his
name appears in a promotion
Ust, the employee is not rendered
ineligible during the period of his
stay on the preferred list. In}
addition, if a promotion is being
held, the mere fact that the em-
ployee has been laid off would
not bar him, provided the four-

year period following lay-off hag
not expired.

In this connection, the Attor=
ney General added a word of
caution regarding State Rule XIV,
3), which requires promotees to

|have served at least six months

in a lower grade. This being a
Proper’ exercise of rule-making
power, an employee can be ree
quired to have actually worked
for such six months period, exe
elusive of time speit on @ pre=
ferred list, to be eligible for
Promotion, (Opinion of Attorney,
General 12/29/50.)
Keep Yourself Posted

In view of the Attorney Gene
eral’s opinion, it is to your interes
est, if you have been laid off, te
keep informed of promotion
exams for which you may be
eligible, You should keep your
department or agency advised of
where you can be reached with
notices of such exams. In addition,
regular sources of such notices,
such as bulletin boards and the
LEADER should be watched.

NYC Career-Salary Plan Allows
Pay Rate Higher Than in Report;
Such Recommendation Is Possible

It appears possible that
erease in the pay sched!
up in the Griffenhagen car
and-salary plan may be put into
edfect — on top of the increases
already proposed in the vast pro-
dect.

First inkling that this could
happen came at a press confer-
ence in the office of Comptroller
Lasarus Joseph. In answer to a
direct question, John Leavens and
Philip Larsen stated flatly that
altering economic conditions could
bring about upward pay changes;
and that the machinery within the
plan itself provides the method
for effectuating such changes. Mr.
Leavens was in charge of the huge
project affecting 86,000 employees,
with Mr. Larsen actively engaged
on the statistical side.

Machinery fer Raising Pay

The Griffenhagen summary of
the report contains this signifi-
cant paragraph, which was read
at the press conference by Mr,
Leavens to give lt emphasis —
when it was brought out by @ re-
porter that some of the pay sched-
ules might be considered too low;

“By and large, the proposed
eompensation plan indicates rela-
tively right relationships in pay
among the several classes of po-
sitions and, although there may
be disputes as to details, these re~
Jationships are reasonable, just
and consistant. On the other hand,
the general level of the schedule
a5 a whole was developed from
prevailing rates of pay and other
data available at the time the re-
port was prepared, and could as a
matter of policy, be adjusted in
wccordance with such data without
affecting the validity of the re-
Jationships established.”

‘This would appear to be a clear
signal for upward salary changes
if economic factors required them.

Changed Economic Factors

A number of important eco-
nomic factors have changed since
the report was drawn up;

2. A $300-to-$800 pay raise has
been approved for Federal em-
ployees. The former U, 5S. pay
Tapges had been considered by the
Griffenhagen staff, but since the
“economic complex” is all tied
together, U. S. pay changes would
have to be reflected in the pay
seales of City employees.

2. The statement by Michael
DiSalle, of the Office of price
Stabilization, thai prices of staple
items and food are going to rise,
‘This is # factor that cannot pos-
sibly be overlooked in fixing pub-
Mec employee salaries.

3, State employees ure already

existing State rates were used as pared to recommend

@ point of comparison by Griffen-
hagen technicians in arriving at
City pay for comparable jobs, If
State pay goes up, it would throw
the proposed NYC pay scales out
of kilter,
May Reconimend

The LEADER learns that

Griffenhagen & Associates is pre-

that the
Formal Hearings Board Jook into
the question of whether changes
in the economy might warrant up-
ward adjustment in the general
pay schedules set forth in the
Griffenhagen report.

Dr. Luther Gulick, executive di-
rector of the Mayor's Committee
on Management Survey, also told

The LEADER that the Formal
Hearings Board was prepared to
consider changes, and to come up
with higher pay schedules if these
appear to be justified. *

Opinion among employee leaders
thus far fs that the pay schedules,
particularly at the lower levels,
are out of line and will require
Upward adjustment.

‘Most Liberal

Attitude’

Favored by Griffenhagen
On Vacations, Leave Time

“Griffenhagen and Associates
favors the most, rather than the
Jeast, liberal attitude with regard
to vacation and time-off reguia~
tions,” a spokesman for that
management organization said
this week, He continued:

“An unfortunate interpretation

has been placd upon oné or two! oi

paragraphs in our report, taken
out of context, to make it appear
that we recommend a@ cut in va-
cation time and in other leave
regulations,

“On the contrary. The only
point we make is that it is es-
sential to standardize existing con-
ditions of work. In arriving at our
conclusions, we examined prevail-
ing practice in private industry,
In setting down what we found
there, we did not recommend that
the City follow these conditions
point for point, We are not set-
ting specific standards. They must,
however, be set in a properly run
personnel system.
Time-and-a-Half for Overtime

“IT may add that we also found,
and reported in the same section,
that time-and-a-half for overtime
work prevails in the metropolitan

area; and a 37!)-hour week in
most jobs,

“There should be consistency,
for the simple reason that you
need consistency if you are going
to carry through the concept of
equal pay for equal work. If one
employee is getting twice as much
leave time as another, that princi-
pje is violated, and in this sense
¢ of these employees is being
discriminated against.

“With respect to religious holi-
days, we certainly intend that
these should be granted in addi-
tion to non-religious holidays. It
is our view, however, that the
Mayor and the Board of Estimate
ought to decide what religious
holidays are to be recognized and
which religious groups are en-
titled to which holidays, Other-
wise, we have confusion and un-
fairness,”

He added that these regulations
should all be such that “conscien-
tious employees would approve.”

“We certainly do not want to
see any but the top conditions of
work in New York City govern-
ment — for only in this way will
the City obtain the highest quality

of.operation by the most contented
and efficient staff,’

tvely to “sell” the idea to the

Can't Condemn Whole Thing

“Without proper classification
and pay, we'll never get anywhere
in this town,” Mr, Feinstein con-
tinued, “It's irresponsible to con-
demn the whole Griffenhagen

some parts of it, Our first study

tions and we will demand that

mand proper leave and vacation

“But one thing we will not do is

ground and such possibilities, We
can already see that it lays the

A NYC patrolman who entered

Compel Publication of NYC
Exempt Names, Court Asked

Justice Carroll Walter reserved
decision in New York County Su-
preme Court on an application of
the Citizens Budget Commission
for an order compelling the NYC
Civil Service Commission to give
data on exempt employees. The
petition asks for the right of in-
epection of “all books, accounts
or papers” which set forth the
names, positions and qualifica~
tions of occupants of exempt po-
sitions,”

The proceeding was brought in
the name of Thomas B, Walker, a
member of the CBC, as ® tax-

w, stating that the informa-
could be of material aid in
veducing the budget.

Attorney Harold Riegiman, of
Nordlinger, Riegelman é& Benetar,

section of the City Charter, which
gives taxpayers the right of in-
spection, does not apply w the
Civil Service Commission, because
the Commission is not a City
agency but is under the Btate Civil)
Service Department; also that no!

search is sought, to which no |r

Ungraded U. S. Employees

Ungraded U. 5S. employees
aren't jn on the pay increase
granted’ to classified and postal
employees, The pay of the un-
graded group in most Instances
is set by the Wage Stabilization
Board. A 10 per cent increase had
been granted to the ungraded
employees some time ago, mostly
mechanics and artisans, while a
2.2 per cent addition is about to
be put into effect.

The rates of pay are estab-
Mshed on the basis of a survey
of the local labor market, and the
rates in that market, The Local

ilization Board, which then sets
the pay. The method is akin to
that of NYC in setting the pay
of laborers, mechanics and the
like engaged on public construc-
tion or maintenance, on the basis
of the rates prevailing in private
industry,

Railroad Clerk Test Popular
The railroad clerk test is always
extremely popular.
eligible list is large, but the Com-
mission thinks not large enough
One reason
is the large proportion of declina-
around 40 per cent. The
job will pay $60 a week for a 40-
hour week, when the ¢hangeover
to the 40-hour week is completed,
introduction of the 40-hour
week necessitates an increase in
the number of all the jobs,
The Commission
to be caught without a list that
will supply enough eligibles will-
ing to accept, so is expediting the
holding of the tests

They Call Scott
Chief But Not
On the Payroll

Assistant fire marshall in charge
—Martin Scott.

That's how Mr. Scott's name ts
listed in the NYC official directory
(Little Green Book) and that's
how it stands, despite efforts to
have him made chief fire marshal.

The Municipal Civil Service
Commission refused to go along
with fdea of former Fire (now
Police) Commissioner George P.
Monaghan, who wanted the chief
marshal title given to Mr. Martin,
Nevertheless Commissioner Mon-
aghan, did appofnt him as chief
marshal, or tried to, but the Com-
mission stopped the payroll,

Mayor Settles It

That remedy always produces
fast reactions, The Commissioner
appealed to Mayor Vincent R. Im-
pellitterl. The Mayor advised the
Commissioner to do what the
Commission wanted.

The salary is at the $8,500 level,
through recent action of the
Board of Estimate,

Mr, Scott, a civilian, has made
a considerable reputation uncover-
ing evidence at suspicious fires,
and directing his staff of fire
sleuths, all civilians, But the chief
fire marshal job, being a promo-
tion title, must be filled through
4 promotion exam. If the present
Pire Commissioner, Jacob Grumet,
asks for such a test, the Civil
Service Commission says it will
order one held.
