This luncheon deals with the prohibited strike by public employees of the New York City Welfare Department in January of 1965. New York State Board of Mediation labor mediator Julius Manson opens the luncheon by introducing President of Welfare Local 371 Alan Viani, who speaks at 3:46, recounting the events leading up to and occuring during the strike, the use of the Condon-Wadlin Law to jail strikers, and the main points of the settlement. Manson introduces President of the Social Service Employees Union Joseph Tepedino at 18:21, who speaks at 18:41. Tepedino asserts the disadvantaged position of public social work unions as compared to police unions, criticizes the use of "advisory arbitration" by the Mayor's office as a tactic, and rejects the Condon-Wadlin law's prohibition of the right to strike by public employees. Manson introduces Graduate School of Social Work of New York University Dean Alex Rosen at 27:06, and Rosen speaks at 28:04. Dean Rosen claims that the passivity of the public toward welfare agencies contributed to the strike, and notes the representation of minority populations within the welfare department as a factor in public attitudes toward the strike. A period of questions and answers begins at 34:05, the topics of which include: elimination of the Condon-Wadlin law and unresolved issues that could lead to the next strike. Manson concludes the event at 53:47.
