SCLC #339 Civil-service labor & political rights draft, 1972

What the record shows

• Source: David Kaufman charter-commission civil-service proposal (CC No. 44, Jan 27 1972; draft date Jan 20), enclosed with UCS packet (LOC images 0052–0056).
• Labor: right to collective bargaining; draft requires majority Council approval of final agreements — a condition the later UCS committee urged removing.
• Political rights: classified employees may hold party membership, vote, private opinions, attend meetings; barred from holding political office while employed; anti-coercion on contributions.
• Residency: city-residency rule with hardship/work-location exceptions — not absolute.
• Craft: draft ≠ enacted charter; Kaufman text ≠ UCS amendment layer; Council-approval condition must not be silently attributed to the committee. Distinct from #317/#338.
