New York State Civil Service Commission Transcripts of Conferences on Possible Constitutional Change in Civil Service

These conferences were held prior to the 1967 State Constitutional Convention to solicit suggestions for changes in the State Constitution's civil service provisions. Discussions at the conferences touched on a wide variety of topics including the classification of state positions, salary grading, examination procedures, recruitment, equal opportunity, internships, management training, responsiveness of civil service to the labor market, grievance procedures, employee representation, veterans' preference, and the role of the Department of Civil Service.
