““We begin with the basic that no person possesses a constitutional right to public employment. NAACP v. Allen, supra, 493 F.2d 614 at 618 ; Bridgeport Guardians, Inc. v. Bridgeport Civil Service Comm’n., 482 F.2d 1333, 1337 (2d Cir. 1973); see San Antonio Independent School District v. Rodriguez, 411 U.S. 1, 29-34 , 93 S.Ct. 1278 , 36 L.Ed.2d 16 (1973) (‘It is not the province of this court to create substantive constitutional rights in the name of guaranteeing equal protection of the laws.’ Id. at 33 , 93 S.Ct. at 1297). Thus, operation of the City’s affirmative action plan denies no one any specific right conferred by the Constitution.””
