Lindsay Proposals Invite
Return To Spoils System
I
N an attempt to dampen criticism of the unsupportable
number of provisional employees on New York City's
payroll, Mayor John V. Lindsay has offered a "cure" for
the problem that boggles the mind.
Instead of taking immediate action on the issue of provisional employees, Lindsay has come up with a set of unrelated proposals for improving civil service that do anything else but that. The essential, and incredible, part of his
proposals is to give himself the right to have a much freer
hand on making promotions. No matter which way you cut
It, this is a direct invitation for a return of the spoils system.
At present. City employees take examinations that produce fractional scores. These fractions make it possible for
an employee to be at the very top of the promotion list and
assure him the best possible chance of promotion because
he has earned his top score through a variety of merit. It is
hard to push aside such a candidate for a better job, but,
under present circumstances, it Is still done from time to
time.
Now, Mayor Lindsay is proposing to eliminate the fractional part of scores and thus create large pools of promotional candidates; pools so large that it produces the effect
of letting the Mayor select at will almost anyone he wants
for a job, despite the fact that the very soul of non-political
civil service is based on appointments through fitness and
merit.
Going one step further, if Mayor Lindsay can pick and
choose whom he wants in promotional positions, it won't
take very long for other politicians to take the same route
as a me^ns of patronage.
W e urgently advise the Mayor to drop these Ill-conceived
proposals immediately and start dealing with the original
problem—the elimination of excessive use of provisional
employees.
Questions
.
and
Answers
Q. I was taken ill while I was
on vacation in anotlier state.
After I irot home, I sent my
bills into Medicare like I always
do, but they returned them to
me and told me to make the
claim where I was sick. Why
can't I file my Medicare claim
here?
A. Generally, your Medicare
claim must be filed with the
Medicare office in the state
where you received the medical
services. In this way, Medicare
can keep track of costs for a
particular medical service within an ai-ea. "Your Medicare
Handbook" gives a complete list
of places where Medicare claims
are to be submitted.
, Q. I'm 62 and planning to retire within the next year or two.
Must I wait until a birthday to
apply or can I apply at any time
during the next two years?
A. You can apply for retirement payments any time. If you
decide to have your checks start
before 65, your benefit amount
will be permanently reduced. The
amovmt of the reduction depends on how many months you
get checks before you're age 65.
For every month that you are
closer to 65, the reduction In
payments Ls less. You should apply for Medicare two or three
months before the month of
your 65 th birthday.
(Continued from Page 1)
political leaders, like public
opinion pollsters, have been
wrong before, but they remain
firm In their views, despite polls
that show McOovern closing the
gap and In spite of the fact that
he Is attracting substantial audiences to his rallies.
What is Interesting about the
attitude of the leaders Is that
they discuss the Presidential
election with supreme boredom,
as if the ballots had already
been cast, coimted and recorded
In the history books. They became animated only when confronted with uncertainties. Their
favorite at the moment is which
of three available options will
Gov. Nelson
A.
Rockefeller
choose. Will he join the Nixon
cabinet as Secretary of State or
Defense? Will he serve out his
full term and retire from the
political scene? Or will he run
for a fifth teiTn as Governor?
Others Affected
What
intrigues
politicians
about the uncertainties over the
Governor's options are the pervasive Impact of his choice not
only upon the political history
of the State, but also upon the
personal political fortunes of
Lieut. Gov. Malcolm Wilson, Assembly Speaker Perry B. Duryea,
Jr., and other Republicans whose
maneuverability for high State
office will be affected one way
or the other by the Governor's
choice of options.
Another area of uncertainty
that Intrigues politicians is the
New York City Mayoralty race
next year. Most of them are
ready to throw up their hands
when they speculate as to the
prospective Democratic nominee
for that office. A substantial part
of that uncertainty revolves
around the fact that no one is
ready to predict what Mayor
John V. Lindsay wUl do. According to the politicians, if Lindsay
decides to try for a third term,
many of those now seriously
considering a campaign will drop
out of the race. According to
these observers, should Lindsay
decide to retire, the potential
number of candidates to succeed
him is equal to the number of
names In the City telephone directories. This is a prospect that
has the City Elections Board
climbing walls, trying to figure
out how they can possibly get the
names of all candidates on the
voting machine.
Prom the Republican point of
view, Republicans are Intrigued
by the fact that the nomination
may come down to a primary
campaign between Senator Roy
Goodman of Manhattan and
Senator John Marchl of Staten
Island. Each of these Senators
represents an opposing wing of
the Republican party.
Republican Dilemma
Senator Goodman represents
the liberal. Republican
silk
stocking distx'lct In Manhattan.
His potential as a candidate for
Mayor was enhanced the other
week when he was designated by
the Governor as Chairman of the
Temporary State Commission to
Revise the City Charter. Prom
this vantage pohit, Senator
Goodman will have the benefit
of countless reams of publicity.
Senator Marchi, in 1969, defeated Mayor Lindsay In the Republican primary, and in his
election campaign, he enjoyed
the endorsement of the Conservative Party. Last week, Senator
Marchi was appointed by Presl-

Requirements Of Due Process
On or about April 29, 1972, employees of the State of
New York who were involved In a work stoppage on April
1 and 2, allegedly In violation of Section 210 of the Civil
Service Law, were notified that the Director of Employee
Relations had determined that they were involved in the
April strike. They were further advised of the penalties for
participating in the strike, which included one year's probation and a loss of two days' pay for each day's participation
In the strike.
Under the statute, the employees were also notified that
they could contest the determination of the Director of
Employee Relations by filing affidavits within 20 days reciting facts in support of their case. Four employees brought
an action in Supreme Court, Albany County, against Gov.
Nelson A. Rockefeller and others, seeking a judgment annulling the Director's April 29 determination and declaring
portions of
Section 210 of
the Civil Service
Law
unconstitutional.
•
*
•
THREE OF THE F O U R petitioners were notified that ^
they would be accorded hearings on the factual issues on
their affidavits. The fourth petitioner, however, was denied
a hearing on the ground that his affidavit did not raise sufficient facts to justify the holding of the hearing. In the
case of each employee, they have been on probation since
April 29, and the monetary penalties had already been
deducted from their salaries. The petitioners argued that
they were denied due process since they were not afforded
an opportunity to be heard prior to being placed on probation and since the deduction of the penalties from their salaries. The respondents claimed that the constitutional issues
raised by the petitioners have already been litigated in the
New York State courts and In the United States Supreme
Court and that the validity of the law has been upheld in
each case.
The court in this case held that it is not a violation of
the petitioners' constitutional right to permit the imposition
of penalties without a prior hearing. Furthermore, the Court
of Appeals of this state has held in Rankin v. Shanker and
City of New York v. DeLury that the prohibition against
strikes in the Taylor L a w does not violate the equal protection clause of either the New York State or the U.S.
Constitution.
•
*
•
THE COURT W E N T ON to point out that only in a few
limited situations have the state courts allowed seizure of
property without an opportunity for a prior hearing. "First,
in each case, the seizure has been directly necessary to secure
an important governmental or general public interest. Second, there has been a special need for very prompt action.
Third, the State has kept strict control over its monopoly
of legitimate force; the person initiating the seizure has
been a government official responsible for determining,
under the standards of a narrowly drawn statute, that It
was necessary and justified in the particular instance.
"Subdivision 2 of Section 210 does not meet this threepronged test. While the prohibition against strikes by public
employees effectuates a valid State policy, the statutory
system of enforcement was obviously prompted by the desire
for administrative convenience rather than a special need
for very prompt action." The court held, therefore, that
Insofar as the statute fails to provide an opportunity for a
hearing prior to the Imposition of penalties, it does not
satisfy the requirements of due process. ( I n the Matter o f
Sanford v. Rockefeller, 335 N.Y.S. 2d 502).

Politicians are uncertain as to
what may happen, but they are
happy about the situation, because in politics uncertainty ia

PERB Reversal

previous stand was due to political pressure. "And this means,"
he said, "that the Public Employment Relations Board and
all Its officials are dead in the
eyes of the State's civil servants."
Going back to the use of voting machines. Wenzl insisted that
the State agency was laying open
public employees to coercion.
"What these workers will get is
not so much on-site voting as
on-site muscling."
Tlie CSEA leader said that
his organization's argument for
mail ballots Included the fact
that it would allow a person to
vote in the privacy of his own
home; would allow him to vote
if he were home sick or out on
personal leave and would allow
no possible chance of coercion
fi-om "outside bully boys brought
in to scare workers on their
way to vote."
Wenzl said that CSEA Intended to launch an immediate investigation into the PERB action.
In tlie meantime, it was learned Uiat voting in the Professional - Skilentific - Technical unit
would be conducted by mail.
Metro Armories
A1 Knight, president of the
Metropolitan Armories chapter
of the Civil Servi<'« Employees
Assn. has called a meeting of
the chapter's executive council
for Oct. 26 at 1 p.m. in the 102nd
Engineers Armory, 216 Fort
Washington Ave. In Manhattan.
Osterman Says Increments Unchanged
(Continued from Page 1)
Wenzl noted that the challenging union has also attached
Article 1.1 of CSEA's contract.
This section deals with the establishment of a joint committee
of CSEA and state representatives that will meet to sti^dy
areas of productivity.
SEIU claims that "State workers won't get their IV2 percent
bonus next April unless state
employees agree, among other
things, to work a 40-hour week
and
consent
to
out-of-title
work."
No 40-IIour Week
OER's Osterman. coveriiig the
the matter in his letter, makes
mention of the fact that "the
contract provides that the bonus
shall be paid when the State and
CSEA have reached agreement
upon a program of productivity
Impro-ement and, specifically,
upon standards and criteria for
the measurement of productivity
and standards and criteria for
the allocation of savings from
productivity."
Thei-e
was,
according
to
Wenzl, "no mention of accepting
a 40-hour week or out-of-tltle
work to increase productivity."
Wenzl said, "We agreed to study
eight areas of productivity, but
studying something and accepting it are two different things.
Every maion faces productivity,
and we agreed to look at It In
joint committee with the State,
but it has no bearing on the
IV'a percent bonus. In fact, because of pi-oductivity, some em-
ployees may get a greater bonus.**
Wenzl also said he hoped all
CSEA members of both the Professional, Scientific and Technical Bargaining Unit and the Institutional Bargaining Unit get
out the vote. They'll be receiving
their ballots the week of Nov.
20 by mail, according to the
union leader.

effect of nullifying the injunction orders, clearing the way for
the State to dock strike penalties from July 19 paychecks.
83% Innocent
Hearings ai-e continuing, but
early returns indicate that in
83 percent of the decisions rendered in the Albany area, the
verdict was not guilty.
More exact figures on a statewide basis were requested from
OER, but were not available
"because of the defense tactics
by CSEA attorneys throughout
the State, making It impossible
for us to obtain quick decisions,"
according to one OER souice.

will have the money that was
deducted from their paychecks

Wenzl commented on the situation, stating that "It was a
major victory for CSEA In securing protection for our employees on the lines. They cannot be declared guilty without a

tabllshed lists for years," Bendet declared, "because even this
rule allows management to get
around appointing the man who
came out on top. Now Lindsay
is trying to make things a thousand times worse by creating
pools that would allow him to
pick, as an example, one of any
10, 20 or even 90 persons that
might become part of an eligible
list. This means that promotion
through fitness and merit goes
right out the window. Being top
on a list won't mean a thing.
Who you know would be the determining factor—and that's the
spwlls system."

Robert M. McKiernan, pregtdent of the Patrolmen's Benevolent Assn., also assailed Mayor
Lindsay's civil service reform
proposals.
"It is no reform at all," M c Kiernan said. "It Is another attempt to circumvent civil service
and set up his own spoils system. Apparently the Mayor believes in a spoils system, If one
looks at the way he has handled
his provisional appointments."
McKiernan said that If Lindsay attempts to obtain passage
of legislation in Albany that
would give him the power to
weaken tlae merit system, the
PEA would oppose such legislation.

CSEA Is "entering a new phase
by making its views known to
the politicians, press and public.
And we'll continue to do it after
the election."
He said endorsements "will become a valuable weapon to us.
We don't Intend to teU legislators how to vote. But as taxpayers
we're entitled to comlderation."
As an example of a lack of
consideration, he cited the failure of the 1972 Legislature to
put into effect the agreements
hammered out between negotiators for the CSEA and Governor
Rockefeller.
The Conference president said
that the statewide CSEA will
make up to $5,000 available to
the Western Conference for political action.
James Powers, director of
CSEA field representatives in

Conference delegates of

ROCHESTER—The "hot" topic at last week's meeting
of the Western Conference of the Civil Service Employees
