As for the quoted assertion that the
40-hour week Was “imposed on” state
employes, that is quite a joke. Their
own association worked for the same
length of work-week as in industry—
and got it.
Civil service is an expensive de
partment, but that is just one of the
costs of conducting government in
these days. And even department
heads who grumble over the rigid
ities of civil service (which in this
state has been to date really quite
lenient) would realize the grief they
are spared from hordes of job-hunt
ers who press for employment when
ever the going gets tough in private
business.”
(Ed. note: The above is an editor
ial which appeared in the Oregon
Statesman following a public assertion
by an unknown state employe or em
ployees that civil service was a joke;
that the 40 hour five day week had
been imposed on state employees; that
state employees would prefer to re
turn to the 44 hour week. The edi
torial reprinted with permission of the
Oregon Statesman.)
