Public Workers Union
Asks End Of Curbs on
u. 5. Employees Rights
By Joseph YOUNG

The United Public Workers of
America (CIO) today attacked what
it termed the second class citizen
ship" status of Federal employees.
UPWA officials said the union
wanted for Federal workers the
same rights enjoyed by employees in
private industry, including collec-
tive bargaining, unemployment COM
pensation, social security benefits
and higher wages.
Flaxer Resolution Approved.
A resolution to this effect, in
which it was asked that first class
citizenship be restored to the en-
pioyes of the United States Govern
ment," was introduced by President
Abram Flaxer, president. at the
closing session of the national CLIO
convention in Atlantic City. The
convention speedily adopted the
resolution.
UPWA officials denied their COL
lectiVe bargaining request meant
the union wanted the right to strike.
The Ball-Russell Act, passed last
spring by Congress, prohibits Fed
eral employment of persons belong
ing to unions either striking or adj
vocatlng the right to strike against
the Government.
BY collective bargaining, they said.
the union meant the right to repre-
sent their members in dealings with
agency heads on all matters per-
tanning to the employees welfare.
Federal officials have strongly op-
posed collective bargaining demands,
although union officials of the vari-
Gus Federal employe groups are fire.
quently consulted on personnel mat
tiers.
Sen as Wedge.
The resolution which Mr.. Flaxer
presented to the CLIO convention
declared that 100000 Federal en-
ployes = have been deprived of
many of the economic and political
rights which are justly theirs" 1t
contended that this "second-class
citizenship may well pave the way
for the depriving of similar rights
from other groups"
MIR. Flaxer was one of six MEM
bers appointed by Clio President
Philip Murray this week to draft a
special policy statement on the
CLOS stand on Communism. He
was among the group identified with
the CLIO left wing element.

more done until Governor-elect w.
Preston Lane, jr., and Controller
elect James Lacy had an opportu-
nifty to speak up on the issue.
Gov. O'Conor explained that he
didn't want any of the $4,000 APP

ject, the Governor agreed that any
