NYC Weighs

On Supervisors Organizing
But Not Denial of Right

The labor relations problems
eoncerning supervisors are dis-
cussed in a preliminary study is-
mued by the NYC Department of
Labor, the fifth study in a series.
NYC is heading toward the es-
tablishment of a permanent Code

of Labor Relations, Public hear-|
ings, and the series of studies, are

part of the determination to find
solutions to controversial issues.

The problem of supervisors, in
the main, is whether they repre-
sent management, and therefore
should not be entitled to collective
bargaining and other rights en-
Joyed by those they supervise. It
has tormented both government
and private industry, The Federal
government itself has been on both
sides of the fence successively, al-
though has reverted to affirma~
tion of the rights of organization
and separate recognition of super-
Yiors.

The Taft-Hartley law bars su-
pervisors from such benefits, but
that law does not apply to public
employees.

Court Decisions Liberal

‘The general trend, as shown in
the NYC Labor Department's
study, is to deny that any conflict
of interests prohibits supervisors
from being represented separately
as union members, The argument
is that most supervisors render
routine decisions, hence serve as
sort of traffle cops, The Federal
government reached that conclu-
sion, and so did the New York
State Labor Relations Board. The
US, Supreme Court and the State
Court of Appeals affirmed, rexpec-
tively, findings of that nature,

‘The courts generally recognize

sumptions that indicate that NYC
will probably follow more liberal
lines, This is particularly true since
organizations of supervisors now
exist, and enjoy all the rights that
the study subjects to inquiry. The

tion.
Single Group Theory

Among the questions pased tn
the report is one relating to any
necessity for restrictions:

“Assuming the sppropriate
course to be that of restriction
and limitation, does it eall for
restraints on the erant of recog-
nition for collective dealing, in
terms particularly of the bargain-
ing unit and the bargaining repre-
sentative? This would involve pri-

Provisionals Are Entitled
To Retroactive Raises

efusal by the NYC Board of Estimate to grant retroactive raises

to provisionals, that other employees get, is discriminatory,

True, the provisionals were sppointed without having t© pass am

exam, but because NYC did not have any eigible lists ready tm

their title. Those employees went to work for the City when the City

needed them, and they ran the risk of job insecurity, besides. Those
are no reasons for punishing them,

Pay increases for a title are made retroactive to July 1, 1954, for
an employee at the minimum of @ grade, if the pay of the grade i
increased under the Career and Salary Plan, and he was a City
employee for that full year, The Board of Estimate resolution, hows
ever, made some exceptions, provisionals among them. When a uniom
Protested at a public hearing, it was given to understand that the
provisionals were to be included among those benefitting. A plea wae
made to the Board to amend the resolution. The latest action is the
Board's rejection,

It is easy to understand why employees who do not fit Into the
Career and Salary Pian, like those paid under the Labor Law, eam
|constitute exceptions, but not why those among the 8,000 who other
| wise qualify should be denied the 40 retronctive lump-sum payment
of 40 percent of the raise.

The Board should reconsider the subject, and grant the provi-
sionals’ request

Benefits Derived from Employee Paying
Higher Rate of Annuity Contributions

PUBLIC EMPLOYEES who are making only normal contribe-
tons to a retirement system have an opportunity to increase theie
contributions, usually by up to 50 percent more than what they are
now paying. If they can at all afford to do so, they should increase
their constributions, not necessarily to the full extent allowed, but at
least to some unit percentage of salary, say, 2 or 3. Delay is avoided
by preferring such « fixed-percentage plan. The retiremeht system
then can come up quickly with the answer. The employee would be
notified of the exact amount of contribution.

The time to think about making the annulty as large as possible
is not just a month before retirement, but now, It does not matter
what the employee's age is, The earlier one starts contributing the
extra amount, the smaller the deduction from pay check to accom-
plish a given goal,

The money one puts up is his own and, remains so, except that
he can not draw it out, unless he resigns, The employer pays interes
on the deposits, which are enlled the employee's annuity account,

Effect of Salary Increase

When one’s salary is raised, pension benefits increase proportion-
ately, The pension is the part of the retirement allowance that the
employer finances by his own contributions, Also, without any increase
in rate, the annuity will Increase, because the absolute amount ef
contribution by the employee will rise, In other words, the same rate
will be applied to the higher salary,

The pension and the annuity increases are automatic, The idea
is to compound the benefit, But whether one is or is not willing ox
able to pay # higher contribution rate, the pension will rise, It will
equal a certain fraction of one's final average salary, for each year of
member-service. Multiply the number of years by th fraction, and
ascertain what the pension will be. Pinding out the annuity amount
is more difficult, since that is not based on the average of any Sve
consecutive years, but on all the years of service, including the early
years of much lower pay,

Avoiding Hard Times

With some exceptions, resulting from excessive length of service
usually,"the annuity will not be nearly as much as the pension. Im
othr words, the employer will be more generous to the empoyee thaa
the employe is to himself, That is as it shouldbe, The whole pen-
aion idea is based on the employer doing more for the employee. Ie
some systems, the entire cost is borne by the employer. In those ia-
stances, however, except for corporation officials, the pension will be
comparatively smaller than that which the public employee gets,

When retirement time comes, one often finds that he is too et
to increase his pension income by much, if anything; and if he has
not laid aside a nest egg, he may be hard up to live on at least « fale
standard, That is why the employee should give serious and early
attention to increasing his contribution rate, unless he ls wealthy m=
his own right, but how many public employees are?

ADER Page Tow:

~ Castle and Powers Speak Out |

As interest grows in the 1955 election of the Civil Service Employees As-
sociation, partisans of the two presidential candidates have requested that
their views be printed. They urge this particularly because the current

co

election will put the winning candidate in office for a two-year period.
Both candidates — incumbent John F. Powers and challenger Raymond

>

G. Castle — have agreed. Two of their addresses, incorporating their

views, are printed below.

By Raymond G. Castle

Fall Partnership Is Aim

I would like to see the civil service employee on a plane of respect and
Prestige that will enable him to deal with the Governor, the Legisiature and
other Administrative bodies directly and on a man-to-man basis, rather than
have to continue, hat in hand, entreating where he should
be presenting reasonable demands based on provable facts —
taking crumbs when he should be receiving the entire loaf
to which he is entitled.

I would like to see the civil service employee able to
meet the Governor and the Legisiature, or anyone else for
that matter, on the same equal basis as the worker In private
industry meets his employer around the conference table,

I would ke to see the civil service employee able to
enter the bargaining room by the front door, rather than by
the back door. I would like to see him present his case in
the open, where it can be Judged by the public, rather than
in closed bargaining sessions where he always seems to come
out second or third best.

I would like to see the civil service worker given some say in the disposition
of his fate. in his salary, in his hours, in his working conditions — in fact,
in the whole labor relations structure, I don’t want any of this disposed by
outsiders — or by one man, secure in the secrecy of his operations, who can
dispose of the case of the civil servant, without appeal, without recourse of
any kind.

Blueprint for Action
‘That is my goal. Now here is how I propose that we achieve it, Here are
my four points — my Blueprint for Action.
1. Strong, effective business-like leadership.
2. A forceful, professional public relations program.
3. Open, front-door negotiation.
4, The same working conditions as private enterprise currently gives its
employees,
Effective Leadership

When I speak of strong leadership, I do not personally impugn any of our
present or pust officers. In fact, I commend them for carrying on as well as
they haye under difficult conditions imposed by our traditional ways of doing
things and by our present Constitution and By-Laws, Our Constitution sets
forth premises that are as sound today as they were when first promulgated,
but our By-Lavs are terribly inadequate. Our officers have been forced to
work with tools which were designed not for an organization over 60,000 strong,
but for an organization of perhaps 10,000. They have been forced to work with
organizational tools originally designed to be Jargely social, not of a group'dealing
in labor relations and other complex situations.

No, I do not blame our past and present officers, because they were working
under very difficult conditions imposed on them by an outdated system of
operations. Yet I do feel that they have neglected a sorely needed job of
By-Law revision.

It is my intention, if you elect me president of the Civil Service Employees
Association to work for a revision, a modernivation of the ground rules of our
operation to mect the changing conditions enforced by our greatly enlarged
membership and the present day needs of our membership,

I pledge myself to begin this work immediately by employing the talents
which are available to us in our own membership, But this process should
Jogically be started, let me say, by changes in our By-Laws which are subject
to change by the Board of Directors.

One of the changes I would make is in the duties of our five vice presidents,
According to our present requirements, their only function ts to take over, in
order of rank, when the president is unable to function or be present for one
reason or another, Aside from that their function is purely social,

Our vice presidents, both now and in the past, have been able men elected
from the ranks of our membership, They have been elected because our members
had confidence in their personal qualities. They have outstanding leadership
abilities and are capable of doing far more than & stand-by or social job, It is
my proposal that we give them something to do to utilize their talenta, to realize
some of the potential that is now lost to the Association,

Each of our five vice presidents, for instance, could supervise and coordinate
some of our important committee activities, and would be responsible for co-
ordination within his group, and for coordination with the activities supervised
by other vice presidents, This would not only result in better committee work
but would relieve the president of many tasks which now deprive him of the
time that could be devoted to administrative duties in other areas. Such an
arrangement would be of great help to the staff also, It would, in effect, make
for a stronger leadership at the top and result in a stronger Association.

A Treasure House of Talent

We have within the membership of this Asnociation Just about every skill
Known to man. We have, for instance, skilled, experienced researchers; we have
accountants and auditors and attorneys; analysts of all kinds; public relations
mea of the highest talents — yes, we have wage and hour experts and labor
relations exports. We have them — but how often do we use them, how often
do we really call on them to give the Association the benefit of their intelligence,
their skills, their experience? Not often enough, I contend,

But this is a way we can build ® strong leadership, and an effective, highly-
akilled organization to help us do our job — because it is their Job and their
eause. That ls my number one paint — the keystone of a strong CSEA.

Strong Public Relations Program

‘This utilization of our resources would make possible a forceful pro-
feasional public relations program. We have the experts in our ranks. Some
have participated in our programs — many more have never been called upon.
Yet those are men and women who are skilled enough to write speeches for
Governors and other high State officials, experienced enough to advise com-
munities, talented enough to write copy that ta read and understood by millions
of people each day, These men and women are a gold mine to an organitation

that is wine enough to employ their services in a public relations program.
4 So we have the equipment without doubt. What then does this public rela-

By John F, Powers

‘The Presidency of the Civil Service Employees Association !s not a prize
to be won,

The Presidency of the Civil Service Employees Association is not a sweot«
tasting dish for an individual or group that seeks power.

The Presidency of the Civil Service Employees Associa~
tion is not a plush job, where a man sits at a fancy desk
smoking a big clear and giving out orders.

Shall I tell you what the Presidency of Association really
ts like?

It ts a difficult, wearying, thankless, tension-producing
Job, Tt is a job that requires of a man his time his energy, and
Ail the capacities of which he is capable.Churchill once spoke
of “blood sweat and tears.” He might have been speaxing of
the Presidency of this organization.

And for all that 4 man puts into his Job, what is recom-
pense? Not money. Not even thanks, Only the satisfaction
that he has done honestly, with the help of God, what
necded to be done for the employees,

So why am I running for re-election?

A Job to Be Finished

You are my fellow-employces. This is a fair question, And you are entitled
to a straight answer,

1 am running for re-election because I started something which must be
finished.

I started « campaign to make this the Jargest civil service organization of
its kind.

I started a campaign to build up our resources so that we would have the
strength to meet the grave problems that face us,

I started a campaign to gain salaries that would place the employees of
New York State and all its counties and towns at the top.

I started a campaign to build for the employees a labor relations program
that would give real security and dignity to our jobs.

Tam running for re-election because I believe in my heart these are im-
portant objectives, and IT can't drop them in the middle.

— Personal Will versus Democracy

Now let me become specific. I want you to know how I work and think.

First, I consider my job to be following the directives laid down by your
representatives, These representatives serve on the Board of Directors, They
are elected by you, They are a cross-section of the employees, State and County,
Every matter concerning public employee welfare comes before this Board.
Their decisions are not arrived at lightly. When those decisions are made, I
consider it my duty to carry them out. This Is the same as the duty imposed
upon the President of the United States to carry out the laws enacted by
Congress, Often, the decisions made by the Board are not those which I recom-
mend. But we are a democratic organization, And whatever the decisions, I
carry them out with all the vigor at my command. I will never impose my will
over the united will of the employees as expreased by their representatives,

Leadership With a Conscience

Second, I believe that a man in the position of President must at the same
time exercise leadership, It is very easy to talk, to condemn, to berate, It is a
different thing to sit on the "hot seat” and to do what in good consclence you
know has to be done. Early this year, I brought to the attention of the members
the existing financial condition of the Association, That condition wasn’t good.
We had grown enormously in recent years, and this growth justifies the con-
fidence in our policies, But with growth came growing pains, and the growth
cost money, Many services were being demanded by the membership — services
which they ought to have. I could haye slunk away from this problem. I pre-
ferred to face it, I told the Board of Directors and the members that In my
opinion we needed a dues increase. I explained the fact that we were facing
new conditions in 1955 — powerful competition from other elvil service organi-
zations, the need for supplying extended legal service for the membership
to effectuate the legisiative gains we had won, the need for additional repre-
sentation with the legislature, expansion of the fleld service, and other thinga.
T pointed out that our dues were the lowest of any employee organisation,

You know the battle that ensued. You know how often and how bitterly I
was personally berated, I could have pulled away from this battle, That would
have been the cowardly thing to do, That would have meant I was giving up
&n objective which to me waa most important — assuring the future strength
of this organization. I stuck it out. The delegates did raise the dues, not to the
figure originally suggested, but to a Neure that will enable the organization
to do more for you.

GOT TO COME. I am not waiting until the Legislature opens, I am not waiting
hat in hand until the Governor says “Let's talk about this.” Two months ago,
I Instructed our Salary Committee to gather for me all the facts, I have already
communicated with the Governor, Our negotiations have already opened. And
we will not be satisfled with half-measures, We will not take a bone, I am dedi-
cated to this battie, and I wil} Aght with all my energy to bring the salaries
up to the point where they must be, And this goes not only for State employces,
It ds not fair that the salaries of County and other local aides be lower than
the salaries of State people working in the same areas, The fight for higher pay
—the grand objective for this year — includes ALL OUR MEMBERS,

And with that fight goes another, one that we can’t let go by the board. T
want to see the true 40-hour work-week established where tt does not exist, We
are no longer living In the nineteenth century, I am putting myself heart and
soul into this campaign, T want you to help as employees In getting this through,

Adequate Labor Relations Program

Now our other major objective — a decent, modern, workable labor relations
plan. It is easy enough to sneer at the executive order om labor relations just
aligned by Governor Harriman. But good working conditions are not built by
ancers. Good working conditions are obtained by study and negotiation, by
“knowing the score,” and pressing for the attainment of objectives. This we
have done. The new executive order on labor relations was approved by the

Limits Proposed
On Government
ForbiddingStrike

‘The controversy over whether
public employees should have the
right to strike is in the news

again.

‘The subject was discussed In a
standing committee's report to the
labor section of the American Bar
Association. While the committee
did not recommend that pubiie
employees should have the right
to strike, it did indicate that if
government has sich an anti-
strike law, the necessity for having
& prompt and effective means of
dealing with grievances is sccen-
tuated.

The committee, headed by H
Eliot Kaplan, former New York
State Deputy Comptrotier, suid:

“Government which denies to
its employees the right to strike
against the people, no matter how
just may be the grievances, owes
to its public servants an obliga-
tion to provide working conditions
and standards of management-
employee relationships which
would make unwarranted any need
for such employees to resort to
stoppage of public business.*

House of Delegates Yet to Act

‘The labor section unanimously
approved the report, which will
now go before the association's
house of delegates for action.

While the report did not take
any stand im favor of the right
to strike, in various State and
local jurisdictions, opposition to
the anti-strike laws is growing.
Governor Averell Harriman is ex-
pected to renew his efforts to have
the Condon-Wadlin Law repealed
by the State Legisiature. That law

THE PUBLIC
EMPLOYEE

By JOHN F. POWERS

Geel Service Employees Association

Government Must Meet Its Own Standards

THE LAST REPORTS giving the mumber of public servants tn
‘United States stated there were some seven million. This total ie
Jarger than the combined number ef employees in several of our large
imdustrics, It makes government—all government—in this country the
biggest employer of all, and it gives to government as an employer an
important and dominant role in the field of labor relations,

Government's attitude in the area of the public employee has
been Jaggard and far from progressive. Government has generally
been unwilling to regard the worker in this field with the same respect
ead understanding with which it regards the workers in other fields,

In industry, government has imposed standards of work, pay and
safety upon the owners of the concerns, whether they be large cor-
porations or individuals, It has protected the worker against ex-

Ploitation, through legal restrictions on all conditions of his employ-
ment, And it has insisted that the worker shall have a voice in deter-
mining the conditions of his employment by protecting the rights of

the employee to organize inte unions and bargain collectively.

Lageard in Hours, Pay, Safety Standards

However, in its own fleld—that of the public employee—govera-
ment has shown neither the same tolerance nor understanding of the

employee's problems. In industry tt has insisted upon the minimum |
wage, the 40-hour week, the maximum safety, Yet many governmental
agencies today——in our own state—insist that its employees work more
thea the 40-hour week, pay the employees less than the minimum

‘wage, and are neglectful of the ordinary safety factor which its safety
tmapectors would demand of any business organization.

In this indictment of the careless attitude of government against
Me workers, we are joined by | committee of the American Bar Asso-
@@ation. In a report which has just been lasued, the committee says
“Government as an employer has failed in many (nstances to practice
what it compels industry to do.*

Vigorous, United Action Is the Answer

There are many reasons for this attitude rooted deeply in our own
Bistory, The discussion of them would take too long for this column.
However, whatever the reasons, the government workers have become
vesentful over the careless attitude of ite managers. They are showing
thetr resentment by rapidly organizing unions or associations to rep-
weeent them in (heir human problems with their governmental man-
agora. These organizutions are becoming vocal and vigorous in their |
fmaistence that the public employer regard its employees as human
beings, having the same needs and desires as the employees of «
manufacturing concern or other industry.

Your Association is part of this movement, It has been actively

pepresenting the employees of the State and municipalities for many
years. It knows the problems, It has the knowledge to solve them .It |

the help of its members, It needs more members. It needs the |
strength, loyalty, and solidarity of all public employees in ite insistence
that the same conditions of work which government forces upon
fedustry, it provides for its own workers,

A Job Is Only as Good
As the Protection It Gives

‘

Imost a year to the day after they complained of in-

terference by the hospital director’s wife, seven em-
ployees of the Onondaga TB Sanitarium were discharged.

Three other hospital employees made similar com-
plaints but are still on the job. These three are in the
competitive class—the seven were non-competitive.

From this distance, one can only surmise the obvious
—that the seven unprotected employees paid the price of
their complaints with their jobs.

The unlucky seven have no legal recourse to get back
their positions. Their plight serves only to accent the ur-
gent need to make competitive as many jobs as possible.
There is no other way such dismissals, as in the case of
the seven, can be prevented,

NYC Laying Basis for
Good Labor Relations Code

YC is preparing well for a permanent Labor Rela-

tions Code. In a series of reports, the basic problems

are being analyzed, and experience in both government

and private industry cited, but all questions are left open
for final decision.

The problems are divided into the separate groups
into which they naturally fall. Each report is factual, tem-
perate, and searching, and gives the arguments on both
pides.

The latest report deals with the supervisor. Should
he be permitted to unite with his own kind, to form a sepa-
rate unit for collective negotiation, or does a supervisor
represent management and thereby forfeit the right that
ethers enjoy, because otherwise he would be on both sides
ef the fence?

While no conclusions are reached, the tone of the re-
port indicates clearly that NYC will affirm the right of
supervisors to be members of associations and unions, for
collective dealings with their employer. The report cites
present examples of such collective action. The Uniformed
Fire Officers Association, as well as groups of supervisors
in the Transit Authority and the Department of Sanita-
tion, has been in successful existence for years.

Any change as to the rights they enjoy must be for
those that bespeak progress, not hedging in a situation
that demands foresight and courage.

Firemen's Heart Bill
Deserves Enactment
ne coming session of the State Legislature should en-

dies the law that fire-fighters want almost as desper-
ately as they want anything else—a declaration that heart
ailments be presumed to be caused by the nature of their
duties,

This goa! is so important to firemen because heart
eondition has become an occupational hazard, A survey,
made for the NYC Uniformed Firemen's Association, con-
firmed statistically the long realized hazardous nature of
the fire-fighter’s job,

When the eligible was appointed a fireman he was in
excellent physical and medical condition, otherwise he
would have been promptly disqualified. If, in later years,
heart condition develops, all that the fire-fighter asks is
that the ailment be presumed to be the result of perform-
ance of duties, That would not prevent the employer from

Question,
Please

WHAT 1S the situation in regard
to pay for jury duty? LM.

Answer — When one is called
to jury duty, he should take the
matter up with his supervisor, who
will usuaily recommend a visit to
the departmental personne! offi-
cer, The rules differ somewhat in
different jurisdictions, but, in gen-
eral, an employee on jury duty is
not charged with an absence for
sick leave or annual leave, but is
simply excused from duty in his
office. Tt is known as jury leave.
The department usually deducts
from the employee’s pay the
amount he receives for doing Jury
duty, if the jury fee is less than
one’s pay; if the jury fee is more,
most unlikely, then only the pay
for the absence period is deducted.
In some jurisdictions the pay govs
right on, for the Jury leave period,
but the jury duty fee must be given
to the employer,

WHAT IS the reason for the age-
50 retirement benefit granted to

Comment

READER GIVES REASON
FOR PENSION LOAN RISE
Editor, The LEADER:

A recent LEADER article, en-
Utled “Pension Loans Hit New
High” surmised that members of
the State Retirement System must
have a lot of new cars, television
sets, washing machines and swim-
ming pools, or are in debt for
nothing,

Are not State employees, most
with long years of service, entitled
to borrow our own money and pay
interest on it, to have s new car
or television set or = washing
machine?

In order to have these things,
the average State employee has
to borrow from the Retirement
System (his own money) and
spread payment over a jong
period. He can not pay the high
Payments required by nance com~-
panies or banks.

Village Publicizes Municipal Services

A public relations program in Onk Park, Ill. shows taxpayers how
their money {is being spent on municipal services,

‘There, the American Public Works Association reports, citizens tm|
a certain neighborhood are informed when the city is performing 4
munteipal service for them.

For example, when a sewer cleaning crow is scheduled to aaa
the main sewer on a particular street, one crew member places a|
brochure in each mail box of the residences fronting on the street|
while other workers set up the equipment. The brochure describes the|
objectives of the program, how the citizen can cooprrate, progress ef |
the program, whom to contact for service, source of money for the
work, and other items of interest. Tripod signs have also been placed)
at job sites telling what is being done.

Program to Be Expanded

The brochures are attractive, colored, one-page folded sheets,
entirely prepared by village employees and run off on the village
multilith, And the scheme has been so successful in emphasizing sewer
cleaning and forestry operations that the village is planning to extend
it to other activities. These include street marking, regulatory parking
signs, street repair, and street lighting projects, Variations are also
being developed for parking violations, refuse collection, water maim
repairs, and various inspection services,

Deputy Com

ALBANY, Sept, 19 — A Supreme
Court Justice bas ruled that a
deputy commissioner in one State
agency (s a subordinate office hold-
er and entitled to retention in

t

his exempt job because he is a
veteran.
The decision will result in @

Republican appointee'’s reinstate-
ment with back pay, unless there
is an appeal, and a reversal

Justice Herbert D. Hamm of Al-
bany ordered the reinstatement of
Albin BE, Erikson of Brooklyn as
Deputy Commissioner of the State
Athletic Commission,

Word ‘Deputy’ Not Enough

Mr, Erikson was appointed in
| March, 1953 by former Commis-
sion Chairman Robert K. Chris-
tenberry, a Republic, In March,
1955 Mr, Erikson received a letter
from Chairman Julius Helfand, a
Democrat, telling him his services
were terminated as of April 30.
His Job pays $7,200 a year.

Mr. Erikson contended that he
couldn't be fired without a hear-
ing on charges of incompetency
or misconduct because he was a
veteran,

The Democratic administration
argued that a deputy commissioner
is an independent officer and can
be appointed and removed at the
Pleasure of the Commission.

Justice Hamm ruled that the
mere use of the word deputy does
not remove the office-holder from
Job security as a veteran.

Subordinate Duties
| Justice Hamm noted that the
| Commission is empowered by law
| to “direct m deputy to be present
at each place where boxing, spar-
ring or wrestling matches or ex-
| hibitions are to be held” and to

“ascertain the exact condition of
such match or exhibition and make

@ written report.”

‘The Justice added: "These du-
thes require little If any more than.
adequate literacy and reasonable
{aculty of observation, They are
wholly subordinate.”

Judge Hamm continued: “The
Commission's authority te make
rules for the administration of its
office does not permit it to create
an Independent position where

none exists by statute through

missioner's

Routine Duties Save Him

conferring independent powers te
deputies by the adoption of rules
| and regulations,

“If such a thesis were sound,”
Justice Hamm said, “the Commis.
sion could create Independent offl-
cers at will by the grant and im-

position of broad but revocable
powers and duth nd could make
Independent officers also of all

such other officers mentioned in
the statute by merely bestowing on
them extensive but revocable aus
thority.”

CORRECTION CORNER |

This column is for employees of the State Correction Department, lt h
written by Jack Solod, himselj an employee of the department with intimas
knowledge of worker problems in hia agency. Mr. Solod has beam given «
“free hand™ in writing his material, and his views are his own, Members of
the department who would like Mr, Solod to discuss matters of especial im
portance to them are urged to write him im care of the Civil Servicg
LEADER, 97 Duane Street, New York City 7.

BY JACK SOLOD

Principles (?) of Penalogy
Sheriff Donald P. Tulloch, president of the Massachusetts County |
Commissioners and Sheriffs Association, gets off some real gems in
the Boston papers, Some of these dillies can really be appreciated by
prison personnel. Here is some of his “expert” advice:

1. We have found that we can learn a great deal by listening to the
advice of privon inmates, Although they already have their own news~
papers in some Institutions, perhaps {t would be better to set up a
television station In each prison so that they could get their gema of
wisdom out to the public more effectively.

2. If we are going to solve the crime problem we must listen more
to those who are actually committing the crimes and less to biased and
narrow-minded police and prison officials, Inmate councils should be
encouraged, but the members should be allowed to elect not only their
own officials, but also the guards, who shall be employed to wait om
them,

Happiness Is the Goal

3. We are told that there ls a new treatment for the noncom-
formist, If an inmate stuffs his shirt in the toilet in his cell and floods
the cell block, or kicks the plumbing off the wall, It ls simply because he
is unhappy, and modern study tells us that we certainly don’t wan’
anyone to be unhappy in jail, We must have happy prisoners so—e
lovely furnished room with light and ventilation, tasty meals, recrea-
tion, radio, television, books, visits from relatives and friends and very
little work.

4. During recent investigations of prison disturbances we have
found out some things about human nature that we never knew be-
fore. We have discovered that as soon as a person Is locked behind bars
of a penal institution, he or she suddenly loses all tendency to deviate
from the truth. Everything is the truth, so help me,

‘These are but a few “suggestions” of the Sheriff,

Plaudits for a Monumental Task

The Southern Conference resolutions containing 47 full pages
have just come in the mail, a tremendous job which covers all pos-
sible Improvements for State employees. These resolutions have beea
submitted to the Civil Service Employees Association. Who was re-
sponsible for this splendid job? You guessed it! Charlie Lamb of Sing
Sing Prison, president of the Southera Conference,

40-Hour Week Must Share Top Billing

As we approach the annual CSEA meeting im October, sounds are
heard from the State prison personnel,

In the forefront of the Association's resolutions is a 10 perceng
general raise for all State employees, It is assumed from this that the
full resources of the CSEA will be expended toward this end. It is to be
hoped the 40-hour week, with the same pay, for institution employees
will get equal support, We in the State prisons are interested first im
the 40-hour week, same pay. We are priectly willing to support and
fight for a 10 prcent raise for all other State empoyees, but we wan’
a 40 hour week!

Correction employees for years have sat back in amazement as
State employees discussed air-conditioning in State buildings, time
off for Christmas shopping, 35 hours a week instead of 374, half holi~
days due to excessive heat, The record will show we have supported
all groups in their fight to improve working conditions.

Now we ask this same support. We want the 40-hour-wee
pay bill given equal priority with the 10 percent general raise,

tions program consist of? Simply enough, it {4 a program to bring the story
of the civil service worker at all levels in the State to the tax-paying public —
and we all know how urgently this is needed,

‘The Public and Civil Service

Ask yourself — what is the average man’s opinion of the civil service
worker? You know the answer, In the main, his feeling is that the civil servant
is a politically appointed loafer, who does nothing but sleep at his desk and
collect a fat chock twice a month.

We know the truth, Our Governor and the Legistature are aware of some
of the truth. And many of the people to whom we give daily faithful service
know the truth, But not enough of the public does, And until everyone knows,
we are at a continual disadvantage in every negotiation, because the public's
attitude acts as a brake on the thinking of legislators and administrators at all
levels

The simple truth is this — over 90 per cent of ts get our jobs through
competitive ¢xaminations, and our promotions uch as they are — through
the merit system, But the public doesn’t know this — and should,

» truth is that close to 100 per c are hard workers. Many of us —

ent of 1s

our itutional workers in hospitals and prisons, for instance work longer,
harder and more dangerous hours than anyone in private employment, How
many people in private Jobs still work 48 hours a week? How many in private

industry have to buy their own special uniforms? How many work in conditions

as continually dangerous as in our prisons? Very few. But does the public
know this? It doesn’t, but it shold

Front Door Negotiations

My third pointis open negotiatio:
you, is something radically new in tht
using the back door to participate in
stand what this means,

Tt Is also a bad thing for all of us. We gain nothing by doing business
out of the public limelight, We gain nothing by having our negotiations con-
ducted under conditions in which our own membership knows little or nothing
about what ix going on,

Basically it is a hangover from the days when we were a small organiza-
tion, with no real strength, when we hag to do things quietly and had to ask
favors because we felt our case was weak or unpoptilar, But it ls not the way
in which on organization of 60,000, itself and- possessed of talents and
resources, should do the job.

present conditions.

We have nothing to lose by being open and forthright and willing to have
the light of publicity on our negotiations. We have nothing to lose but our
disadvantages, which we now have by this secret method of back-door bar-
gaining. We have nothing to hide. We are not belng unreasonable.

All right then — why not work in the open, should? ‘That is what I
pledge myself to do,

Board of Directors of the Civil Service Employees Association. The Board studied
it for several months. The recommendations of its members are incorporated
in it, We must give the order a fair chance to work, If it doesn’t work as well
as we like, we'll find a better way, We know the Governor feels that way too.

Let me point out that labor relations has advanced on other fronts, too,
We have won the right of counsel and witnesses in disciplinary hearings. We
have won the right of reinstatement where an employee is wrongfully dis-
missed, These gains didn’t just happen, They were won, if I may use the phrase
again — by blood, sweat and tears — not by sneers.

Iam not going to make vast promises. I am not going to say, “Re-elect
John Powers, and you'll get the moon,” With Al Smith, I say only this: “Look
at the record.” The only promise I give you is that I will work for you, work
for you with all the energy at my command, work to"bring to a successful con-
clusion the program I undertook when you first elected me to office,

Service Employees Association has
been assured by the State Civil
Service Commission that very care-
ful consideration will be given to
the changes in the State attend-
ance rules proposed by the Asso-
elation, and that the Commission
is working on a tentative draft of
new attendance rules which may
be studied by the Association be-
fore their final adoption.

The Association is mast hope-
ful that the new proposed tenta-
tive rules, when completed, will
contain many of the improvements
sought by the Association to cor-
Tect conditions which have been
& source of dissatisfaction to em-
ployees for some time,

‘The appeal of the Association
to the State Civil Service Commis-
ston embraced the following recom-

lowed.

10, That employees who regular- |
ly work on @ 5-day a week or 5%
day a week basis be given same,
guarantee in Attendance Rules as
to number of days off duty with
pay each year as is accorded inst!~
tutional employees who work regu-
larly the 6-day week, so that ae-|
Partmental employees do not lose
time off by reason of holidays fall-
ing on Saturdays.

‘The Association also urged the
Commission to survey the various
state departments to determine the|
various systems in effect relative
to penalization of employees for)
tardiness, for the purpose of dis.
continuance of such systems which |
result in over-drastic penalization:
for tardiness,

‘Personal Business Leave’

| Stanted for various reasons includ
ing sickness or death in the imme-
| diate family, dental and medical
| visits, and religious observance,
|The Association suggested that «
“personal business leave” with pay
of eight daya a year would, In the
long run, provide more uniform
and just treatment of all em-
Ployees.

The CSEA appeal urged consl-
deration of a more favorable and
equitable rule relative to closing of
state offices during periods of in-
tolerable heat. Suggestion was also
made that consideration be given
to the possibility of changine the
year In which vacation leave cre-
dits are accumulated, Suggestion
has been made by some Associa-

| ton members that if this year was

changed to end on September 30
CSEA also requested careful con-| each year, instead of March 31, it
sideration of the possibility of the | mirht enable employees to more

mendations for improvements of

the attendance rules:
