City Labor Pension Reform Favored by Finance Commission
New York Finance Commission urges rejection of Chapter 418 and proposes a new pension act with 16 year service, inclusion of mechanics, medical tests for ages 60 to 70, retirement at 70, anti reentry rules, sworn vacancy filings, public records of retirements, employee contributions, and centralized administration under city officials and a city physician. The report attributes inefficiency to politics and padded payrolls, estimating 1300 water and street workers could have been laid off and that city laborers are paid 50 percent more than private workers.
