In this revised and updated edition of The Rights of Public Employees, Robert M. ONeil broadens the focus from government employees to all public employees, emphasizing the public-service nature of the occupations and professions of such individuals. Using a question-and-answer format, ONeil covers such topics as public employment and individual rights; initial qualifications of public employees; public employment and freedom of speech; politics, patronage, public service, and unions; the private lives of public employees; discrimination based on race, gender, and disability; and the procedural rights of public employees.
In the decade and a half between editions, some themes have remained constant: few changes have occurred in the areas of loyalty oaths, political and religious testing, public employees political involvement, and freedom of speech involving matters of general importance. This edition, however, does reflect substantial changes in the law of public employment.
Dramatic changes have taken place, for example, in the development of drug and AIDS testing in the workplace. Employers are demanding more information than they did in the 1970scitizenship, age, height, weight, and criminal record are determined before making a hire. These and other important changes that have occurred in the area of physical privacy and race and gender discrimination have prompted Congress and the courts to call for a significant reexamination of current policy. Similarly, mandatory retirement and the issue of procedural rights of public employees have recently received close scrutiny from lawmakers and judges.
ONeil emphasizes constitutional as well as statutory rights of people who work for the government. The rights of public employees are steadily expanding and being refined. At the same time, important differences remain (and probably will always remain) between the public and private sectors.
In defining the rights of public employees in the United States, ONeil explains in detail the changes in policies and procedures that have taken place in recent years and that, in some cases, are currently under examination. With this valuable guide, public employees can gain a better understanding of their rights and thus be more confident in exercising those rights.

Statutory right to withdraw
You have the right to withdraw from this contract within 14 days without giving any reason.

To meet the withdrawal deadline, it is sufficient for you to send your communication concerning your exercise of the right of withdrawal before the withdrawal period has expired.
Effects of withdrawal
If you withdraw from this contract, we will reimburse to you all payments received from you, including the costs of delivery (except for the supplementary costs arising if you chose a type of delivery other than the least expensive type of standard delivery offered by us).
We may make a deduction from the reimbursement for loss in value of any goods supplied, if the loss is the result of unnecessary handling by you.
