During the 1960s, thousands of schoolteachers, nurses, sanitation workers, prison guards, firefighters, and police joined unions for the first time. Many of those workers defied the law by going on strike. This chapter explains how the Labor Board vets tried to mediate such strikes in New York City and then drafted new legislation for the public-sector employees in New York State. The Taylor Law enabled hundreds of thousands of public employees to unionize. But it did not stop strikes or slow wage and salary increases. On the contrary, relations between the public union employees, government agencies, and the public remained turbulent for years.

Deterring Strikes by Public Employees: New York's Two-For-One Salary Penalty and the 1979 Prison Guard Strike

Current Provision

After briefly tracing the development of the statutory penalties imposed on striking public employees in New York State, this article focuses on the Taylor Law's requirement that such strikers lose two days' salary for each day they are on strike. Particular emphasis is placed on the litigation that occurred in the aftermath of the statewide strike by prison guards in 1979, when the guards' union challenged several aspects of the two-for-one penalty. The author concludes that the act's current provision governing payment of the penalty—requiring that the entire two-for-one penalty be deducted from the strikers' paychecks during a sixty-day period after the strike—imposes a major hardship on participants in a long strike, and he recommends the act be amended in a way that he believes will not undermine the deterrent purposes of the penalty.

AbstractNew York State, in particular the New York City metropolitan area, was the early epicenter of the SARS-CoV-2 pandemic in the United States. Similar to initial pandemic dynamics in many metropolitan areas, multiple introductions from various locations appear to have contributed to the swell of positive cases. However, representation and analysis of samples from New York regions outside the greater New York City area were lacking, as were SARS-CoV-2 genomes from the earliest cases associated with the Westchester County outbreak, which represents the first outbreak recorded in New York State. The Wadsworth Center, the public health laboratory of New York State, sought to characterize the transmission dynamics of SARS-CoV-2 across the entire state of New York from March to September with the addition of over 600 genomes from under-sampled and previously unsampled New York counties and to more fully understand the breadth of the initial outbreak in Westchester County. Additional sequencing confirmed the dominance of B.1 and descendant lineages (collectively referred to as B.1.X) in New York State. Community structure, phylogenetic, and phylogeographic analyses suggested that the Westchester outbreak was associated with continued transmission of the virus throughout the state, even after travel restrictions and the on-pause measures of March, contributing to a substantial proportion of the B.1 transmission clusters as of September 30th, 2020.

In a letter published in the August 1973 issue, Dr. Hania W. Ris suggests routine screening of women for gonorrhea. A recently enacted amendment to the Public Health Law of New York State requires all physicians, clinics or facilities providing gynecological, obstetrical, contraceptive, sterilization or termination-of-pregnancy services or treatment to offer to administer to every New York State resident coming for such services or treatment, appropriate tests for the detection of syphilis and gonorrhea.

The Future

Some day, if and when the files of recollection left by Charles E. Hughes are open to research and discussion, it may be entirely clear how it happened. I am quite sure such memoirs exist, for only a year or two ago Mr. Hughes told me at his home in Washington that he would never write an autobiography, but intended to leave a record of his public activities in such form that it would be available to those who could make good use of it in the future. We had a good laugh that day over the disparity of the actual facts and the public understanding about them in some instances with which we were both familiar, as far back as the very controversial days of the Hughes governorship of New York State.

First Time

Part and counterpart of a well-preserved specimen of Gondekia lancifer (Reimann, 1945a), and a well-preserved specimen of Pseudohydnoceras erraticum Reimann, 1935, are described from the Wanakah Member of the Middle Devonian, Givetian, Ludlowville Formation, of western New York State. The specimen of Gondekia is only the second articulated specimen known and is more complete than the holotype. It has an intact skeleton of felted sexiradiates of three orders of spicules; the largest has rays approximately 2 mm long. The specimen of Pseudohydnoceras has preserved hexactine-based spicules in a dictyid skeleton, described for the species for the first time.
