New York (State). Governor's Office of Employee Relations

As the agency responsible for administering the Public Employees' Fair Employment Act (Taylor Law) for New York State, the Office of Employee Relations (GOER) coordinated hearings and disciplinary measures resulting from the strike by the Civil Service Employees Association on April 1 and 2, 1972.

The GOER notified about 7,000 employees who were absent from work on either or both days that they were guilty of violating Section 210 of the Civil Service Law prohibiting public employees from striking and would therefore be subject to penalties. Employees who objected to GOER's conclusion were entitled to a hearing to substantiate their claims.
