Plea fo r Mitchell Bill
The protection of the merit and fitness system includes
full use of present opportunity such as occurs but once in
a lifetime — the opportunity to pass the veterans preference
amendment to the constitution which will give fair but
limited preference to the veteran in place of the unfair,
absolute preference that has been used and found wanting,
both to the veteran and the civilian.
I f the friends of civil service w in this fight to continue
veteran preference in fairer form over those who propose
that the non-disabled veteran lose everything in order that
the disabled veteran may save everything — if this fight
is won it might well prove the first step in a campaign
to make the public service a model service to the people
and a real career opportunity for those who can best serve
the people. I f this battle is won, the interest of the people
in the merit and fitness system will be deepened and popular
support of civil service will be strengthened.
More Competition, Less Pull
The next major step in the project of the civil service,
in my opinion, is more competition and less pull in obtain­
ing public jobs. A career system implies maximum oppor­
tunity for earned promotion for all up to but not necessarily
including top policy forming positions. The best civil service
p s t e m s are so constructed. In New York State the consti­
tution is so planned. The Civil Service Law mainly follows
T ig h t- K n it F a m ily
the constitution. But Civil Service Rules follow neither the

NYC’s civil service sorely needs
reclassification, according to pre­
vious employee testim ony given

of N u t r i t i o n , D epartm ent of
H ealth, said th a t N utritionlsU who
worked six years received only
$300 increase aver th a t period oi
time. She pointed to the heavy
turnover, because tihe highly skilled
N utritionists find more lucrative
posftions in private industry.
“We know a job of reclassifica­

M aslansky, “and we know th e need
is urgent. I t m ust be done effi­
ciently, by skilled specialists.'*
Scores Low Pay of Norses
Aubrey Summers, president of

and th e bringing of nurses into
th e competitive class.
“W e d on't w ant to walk a year

The objective ha« been alm ost

T he confusion, the
Committee felt was not entirely
due to the employee groups. Such
rem arks on th e p a rt of th e City
officials presiding as th a t the em­
ployees had not shown where the
City could get th e money only
added to th e obsciu-ing of th e
fundam ental purpose of th e hear*
ing, nam ely th e safeguard* reqtdred by th e employees, the
Committee stated.
Citizens, Too
“T he ACEU has taken th e posi­
tion th a t in their dual role as
citizens and employees, they m ust
take a positive stand in favor of
the long overdue reclassification,
which if properly adm inistered
will straig h ten out th e muddle of
the City’s personnel policies. The
employees themselves have th e
greatest stake in an efficient CIt U
Service. At th e same time, real­
izing th e dangers which m ight
arise from any Job survey, the
ACEIU will insist upon a nimiber
of safeguards and th e creatiMi
of a perm anent agency with full
employee representation which will
be strong enough to see to it
th a t th e safeguards are enforced,
it was stated.
Safeguards
One of th e safeguards which
th e Com m ittee will urge Is th a t
a guarantee be w ritten into the
resolution setting up th e survey
th a t th ere will be no loss w hat­
soever in th e present and pro­
spective rig hts of th e Incum bent
employees. A nother is th a t the
survey n o t delay any salary up­
grading upon which substantial
progress h as already been made
nor be used as a b a r to individual
or group raises. The Committee
is also recommending a guaran­
tee th a t each proposal will be put erated. In analyzing “opposition,"
ACEW cam e to th e conclu­
into effect upon its completion the
th a t th e reasons alleged ao>
w ithout w aiting for th e term ina­ sion

The ACEU will also require th e criticism was

anded im m ediate salary u p ­
ployees themselves a t every step grading
as a “substitute” for re ­

One of th e safe­
proposal be subm itted to "collect­ guards universally
called for by

be no de­
ployees representatives and su r­ lays

“We have no objection," replied
