(Special To The Leader)

ALBANY—The Civil Service Employees Assn. has called
on Abe Lavine, State director of employee relations, to issue
clarification notices to all State agency and department
heads on the new CSEA-negotiated policies on overtime

same work week in order to avoid
paying the time-and-a-half over-
time pay,” Lochner told The
Leader.

“CSEA has already stepped in
several cases of this sort, and the
calls keep coming in. The agen-
cies and departments must be in-
formed of these changes.”

The State has also promised to
give the policy notices to CSEA
for review before it issues them.

MHEA Endorses
CSEA As Bargainer

ROME—Strong support for
the Civil Service Employees
Assn’s bid to represent em-
ployees in Mental Hygiene
Department titles was given
here last week when the
Mental Hygiene Employees
Assn’s. president Frank Cos-
tello endorsed CSEA over any
other contenders in the rep-
resentation elections sched-
ued for next month.

“We have worked side by
side with CSEA over the years
and our relationship has been
exceptional. We look forward
to continuing this relation-
ship,” Costello said.

ins Postponement

On OGS Firings; Angry
Mass Meeting Draws Crowd

ALBANY—A two-week postponement in the proposed June 18 firing of nine chauf-
fers by the State Office of General Services was won by the Civil Service Employees Assn,
last week as the result of meeting of a special committee and OGS Commissioner C.V.R.

Schuyler.

At Leader press time, a similar
meeting had been scheduled on
behalf of 35 State architects also
threatened with dismissal.

Warrant, Transfer
Officers Reallocated
After CSEA Appeal

(Special To The Leader)

ALBANY — State warrant
and transfer officers have
been reallocated from grade
13 to grade 14, and senior
warrant and transfer officers re-
allocated from grade-16 to wtade
17, as a result of an appeal by
the Civil Service Employees Assn.
in conjunction with the State Di-
vision of Parole on behalf of the
employees.

The reallocations are effective
as of May 8, 1969.

State Budget Director T. Nor-
man Hurd approved the real-
locations when, the Civil Service
Commission, after hearing evidence
from CSEA, recommended the
move.

A mass meeting criled earlier
in the week by the Employees As-
sociation at the State Campus to
protest the proposed firings drew
hundreds of ‘angry State em-
ployees.

CSEA has pledged to supply
staff assistance and legal aid to
fight the firings. CSEA’s Board of
Directors also went on record last
week in support of any actions
the Employees Association takes,

Schuyler announced a week ago
that between 35 and 40 employees
in the OGS design and construc-
tion section and nine chauffers
will be let go in the near future.
He gave as his reason the five
percent budget cutback ordered by
Governor Rockefeller earlier this
year. CSEA contends, however,
that the real reason is that the
State wishes to hire outside con-
tractors for these jobs.

Several chauffeurs have re-
ceived dismissal notices terminat-
ing their services as of June 18,
while the department has not yet
decided which architects it will
let go.

circumstances in my opinion is

Other CSEA speakers included

John Conoby,.

Several Voice Protests

Several employees attending the
meeting took the floor to voice
thelr protests. Amorig “them was
George Michon, chief of the heat-
ing design group at OGS, who
said that he had been keeping
records for 20 years which show-
ed that, on the whole, buildings
cost substantially more when
Planned by outside firms than
when planned by OGS employees,

A letter from a group of em-
ployees to CSEA asserted that the

leadership—Martin Knorr, Wil-

Joseph Zaretski. The PBA also
took note that the intra-party

While their biggest battle in

Kelly and Dominick Di Carlo
fought a strong fight from the
Republican side of the aisle along
with their Republican-Conserva-
tive teammates, Joseph Kunzeman,
Mrs. Rosemary Gunning and Vito
Battista.

While the Legislative fight
against the fourth platoon was
unsuccessful, other gains were
made in the fields of pension for
those still on the payroll and
benefits for those already re-
ready retired.

Supporters of and fighters for
the pension provisions included
Senator Jeremiah Bloom, on the
Democratic side and, on the other
side of the aisle, Staten Island
Senator John J. Marchi, as well
as Assemblymen George Cincotta
and Louis DeSalvio, both New
York City Democrats.

The PBA enjoys good rela-
tions with many other members
of the State Legislature, who con-
sistently strive to pass legislation
which 1s beneficial to the uni-
formed forces of the City. When
this column, some weeks ago, re-
ported on the gains of the City's
firefighters and the State’s larg-
est and most powerful union, the
Civil Service Employees Assn.,
many of the names were the same
as those reported by the PBA.

Edward Stevenson.

On the GOP side, freshman
Assemblyman Eugene Levy of the
Town of Ramapo in Rockland
County where many City, State
and Federal civil service em-
ployees call home, made his mark
by fighting to the end against
the new, harsh, amendments to
the Taylor Law. Others in the
Republican Party who were con-
sistently behind the civil service
legislation included Vincent Ric-

Glen Harris and Martin Ginsberg.

OGS Firings
Postponed

(Continued from Page 1)
‘Great Waste’

Most of the protests cited the
large amounts of money being
contracted to outside firms and
consultants as a great waste. “We
are all aware that the OGS its
spending State money left and
right for outside consultants,"
one CSEA official said. “Why not
save money and use the talent we
have right here in OGS? Firing
our own people, who can do the
job cheaper and better, 1s in-
credible.”

CSEA officials also have sent a
telegram to Governor Rockefeller
uring him to halt the dismissals
which, in the case of the archi-
tects and engineers, involve jobs
in the civil service competitive
class,

it’s a nice, safe feeling.

Most of us don’t have bags of money

can enjoy that nice, safe feeling — just as

OGS Credibility Gap

HEN the State’s Office of General Services announced

recently that it was dismissing 35 architects and nine
chauffeurs from service it gave as the reason the imple-
mentation of a five percent cutback in expenditures ordered
by Governor Rockefeller for budgetary reasons.

A little research into the truth of the matter reveals,
however, that the real reason these employees are being
fired is not so much as to cut down departmental expenses
by five percent but to farm out these positions to outside
contracting firms,

Revalations of this kind produce what is known these
days as a “credibility gap.” The gap not only exposes a lack
of candor on the part of OGS but a wholesale disregard
for the work performed by these employees and shows fur-
ther a cynical attitude toward the futures of these dedi-
cated aides. Economy at the expense of human values is
neither economical nor valuable in the long run,

It would be wise for OGS—if it wants to recruit skilled
and professional help in the future—to restore its credibility
and retain these employees. There is no question that they
are doing a splendid job for the State. The State has an
obligation to keep faith with these workers in order to
maintain faith with State government as a worthwhile
employer.

Civil Service
Law & You

By WILLIAM GOFFEN

(Mr, Goffev, » member of the New York Bar, teaches law at the
College of the City ef New York, is the author of many books and
articles and co-authored “New York Criminal Law.”)

Administrative Discretion

ADMINISTRATIVE ADJUDICATION of civil service rights
is not necessarily based upon clear-cut evidence. The avail-
able evidence may be contradictory. In matters calling for
the exercise of discretion, the decision reached by the
agency will withstand judicial scrutiny if it meets the test
of rationality. If the determination is not arbitrary or capri-
cious, it will be confirmed even though the Court on the
same evidence might reasonably decide the other way.

JUSTICE CHARLES J. BECKINELLA applied this test in
Heller y. Board of Examiners (New York Law Journal, May
14, 1969), The petitioner was a candidate for licensure as
a teacher of common branches in the day elementary schools
of the City of New York. She succeeded on all aspects of
the examination except the part described as “an appraisal
of record.” This part of the examination is non-competitive
and the candidate is marked either “Satisfatcory” or Un-
satisfactory.” Petitioner's failure on this phase of the exam-
ination meant that she failed on the entire examination,

THE APPRAISAL of record portion of the examination
is described in General Regulations published by the Board
of Examiners. The particulars considered are stated to
include loyalty to the Government of the United States and
good citizenship; traits of character such as integrity, con-
gseientiousness, capacity for winning cooperation of fellow
workers and of the communty, sympathetic understanding
of and interest in children, capacity for developing the
character and securing the respect and cooperation of
pupils; and competence in performance of previous services
that are relevant to the license sought.

THE BOARD OF EXAMINERS sought and received in-
formation as to the petitioner's record not only from the
principal of the public school in which she was employed
as a teacher but from other school systems as well. In addi-
ton, two staff members of the Board of Examiners inter-
viewed the petitioner as to her record.

IT APPEARS the Board of Examiners was faced with
conflicting evidence. Some of the material showed that peti-
tioner should have received a rating of “Satisfactory” while
other material tended to show that an “Unsatisfactory” rat-
ing might be appropriate. The Board of Examiners resolved
the conflicting evidence against the teacher,

JUSTICE BECKINELLA held that the evidence in the
record was such that the Board's determination was not
arbitrary, capricious or illegal. He ruled that favorable re-
ports received from the New York City school where she was
employed, the Woodlynne Public School, and the Philadel-
phia Board of Education as well as other favorable aspects
of petitioner’s record could in the rational exercise of the
Board of Examiners’ direction be regarded as outweighed
by unfavorable reports received from the Rancocas Valley
Regional High School and the Mount Holly Townships
Public Schools.

THE BOARD also took into account what it regarded as
the unfavorable manner in which the petitioner comported
herself when interviewed by two members of the staff of the
Board of Examiners. As the Board’s General Regulations
Governing Examinations permits consideration of the ap-
plicant’s record up to the very time of action on the ap-
plication, it seems that conduct at such interview may be
considered,

ANOTHER CAUSE of petition related to the question
whether the Board of Examiners informed any schoo] dis-
trict outside New York City that the petitioner's license
was revoked because of unsatisfactory record, This sugges-
tion was denied unequivocally by the Board of Examiners
which added that it never transmits information regarding %
teacher’s services performed outside the New York City
School System to any other school system,

THE PETITIONER objected to the Board's reliance
upon telephone conversations to elicit information relating
to the petitioner’s record, but Justice Beckinella ruled that
the procedure {s not objectionable when utilized by a “trusted
employee”. At the same time, one may reasonably, question
whether such important matters as reports on a candl-
date’s past record should fairly be left to such casual pro-

Js not @ written report by a re~

IN DISMISSING the petition,
Justice Beckinella applied the test
of rationality, the criterion gov-
erning judicial review of the ad-
ministrative exercise of discretion.

Onondaga C’ty, Syracuse Aides
Win Retroactive 1/50 Pensions

SYRACUSE—Onondaga

(From Leader Correspondent)
Chapter,

Civil Service Employees Assn., has won the 1/50th

retirement plan for both Syracuse city and Onondaga County employees,
Both the city’s Common Council and the County Legislature approved the plan

in

The Legislature's approval
came June 2—the final day to
achieve the retroactivity—by a}
vote of 15 to 9, with six Republi-
cans and three Democrats voic-
ing opposition. The 24-member
county legislative body is Re-
publican controlled—21 to 3.

The retirement plan, which al- |
City and County workei
to retire at half-pay after 25
years of service, was demanded |
by Onondaga chapter last month
The chapter asked that the two
legislative bodies act immediately
to make the plan retroactive to|
the date set by Governor Rocke-
feller's signing of the law.

30 To Benefit Immediately

At least 30 county employees
will benefit immediately from the
CSEA chapter's request for
prompt action on the plan, County
Personnel Commissioner Louis A.
Harrolds said 15 workers have re-
tired since April 1, and another
15 are expected to retire by July
1. Several City workers also would
be affected. |

If the County Legislature had
not acted in time, the earliest date
the law could have become effec-
tive would have been July 7, the
next meeting date for the county
body

For those 30 employees—and
the City workers affected—adop- |
tion of the plan immediately will |
mean an additonal $500 annually |
—based on a $6,000 annual sal-
ary, Harrolds explained

Total cost of the plan annually |
to the county is estimated to be |
about $500,000 beginning in 1971

Provisions

Under the new retirement law's
provisions, if the plan was not |
approved by a governmental body |
in time to become retroactive
(within 30 days after the goy-
ermor's signature), then it would
be effective only on the date it
was finally adopted and filed with
the State Comptroller's office.

the plan several days before the
deadline—without any oppositon
from its Democrat members. The
Syracuse Common Council also is
Republican-dominated,

Opposition in the County Legis-
lature centered on alleged lack
of time for its members to study
law—and on fears that
the adoption would weaken the
county’s bargaining position later
in new contract talks with the
CSEA chapter which represents
both City and County employees
as bargaining agent under the
Taylor Law.

labor negotiatior maintained the

Mrs. Hilda Young, Onondaga

Bear Mt. Chapter
Hears Dr. Wenzl

BEAR MOUNTAIN—The major
speech at the recent meeting of
Bear Mt. chapter No. 105 of the
Civil Service Employees Assn.
was given by the Statewide presi-
dent, Dr. Theodore Wenzl, who
discussed the situations of PERB
and the Taylor Law.

Brief speeches were also made
by Nick Puzziferri, president of
the Southern Conference, and
Tom Brand, CSEA field represen-

tights of county employees.

Topping the list of employee
complaints against the county is
the installation of a time clock
which some employees are re-
quired to punch and others are
not required to use.

In a formal grievance present-
ed to Donald Stanton, chairman
of the Chenango County Officers
Committee, signed by 113 county
CSHA members and other employ-
ees, Margaret Beardsley, president
of the chapter, calls the installa-
tion of the time clock a “violation
of the spirit of the Taylor Law
concerning harmonious relation-
ships between employer and em-
ployees.””

The grievance also charges that
the unilateral decision by the
Board to install the time clock
is a violation of the contract
acreed to by CSEA and the Board,
and is discriminatory in requir-
ing some employees to use the
clock and not others. CSEA has
asked for binding arbitration on
the grievance.

The Board contends that the
time clock is merely one segment
of a time-keeping procedure which

Chenango Supervisors
Under CSEA Attack
Over Employees’ Rights

(Special To The Leader)
NORWICH—The Civil Service Employees Assn. chapter
of Chenango County and the county Board of Supervisors
hhave become involved in several disputes concerning the

covers all employees. The Board
passed a resolution in late April
stating that if any employee re-
quired to use the time clock was
not using it by May 1, he would
be suspended from the county pay-
roll. However, employees required
to fill out time cards instead of
punching the clock would not be
penalized if they refused to fill
out the ecards. This double stand-
ard was called “discriminatory”
by the CSEA chapter,

Another item under dispute is 1
Payment made to county highway
employees for Washington's Birth-
day, which fell on a Saturday.
The extra pay for the holiday
was first paid to highway work-
ers and then deducted from later
Paychecks when the county per-
sonnel consultant, Kenneth R.
Meade Jr., said he had been in
error when he originally recom-
mended payment of the extra
money. Highway Superintendent
Walter Weishaupt and his High-
way Committee had revised their
decision to pay for the holiday
three pay periods later, and arbi-
trarily deducted the amounts from

the paychecks,

committee, the new ruling, ef-
fective June 1, 1969, will allow
reimbursement to those employees
whose assignment takes them 35
miles or more from their home
or official work station meas-
ured by the “shortest available
road mileage.”

Formerly, the 35 mile minimum
distance was measured as &
straight line. Raymond said this
was wholly unrealistic and un-
fair, since “people simply don't
travel as the crow flies,” and em-
ployees invariably exceed 35 miles
in reaching assignment at that
distance.

Raymond emphasized that his
committee will accept the im-
provement only as an interim
measure, and that further liberal-
ization of the ruling will be
sought by CSEA through submis-
sion of a formal grievance.

‘The current ‘change in the 30-

Ex-New York City
Sales Tax Examiners’
Back Pay Coming

ALBANY — Governor Rock-

sored by the Civil Service Em-
Ployees Assn. which will give
thousands of dollars in back pay
to more than 40 State sales tax
examiners who were deprived of
special increments that they were

to State service from the City of
New York in 1965.

Signing of the bill ended a long
series of appeals initiated by the
tax examiners through CSEA.

The successful legislation, {ntro-
duced through the Senate Rules
Committee stemmed from a fay-
orable recommendation of the
State Grievance Appeals Board
which acted on an appeal filed by
CSEA.

Frederick C. Riester, CSBA at-

the problem of getting the money
from the Buffalo Common Coun-
cll. About 40 percent of this Buf-
falo school budget comes from
City funds and the State supplies
the balance,

Lawyers here say the Taylor
Law is not clear on whether em-
ployee groups should negotiate
with a City Council, which raises
funds through taxation, or with a
Board of Education, which de-
pends on the Council for financial
support.

The problem didn’t arise in
1968, the first year of Taylor Law
coverage, because the Buffalo
Common Council, with a generous
boost in State aid, had funds for
pay raises for the teachers and
the CSEA non-teaching employees.

“But the cupboard is bare this
year,” said Buffalo Mayor Frank
A. Sedita.

However, the teachers and the
CSEA groups are complaining
that they negotiated in good faith
with representatives of the Buf-
falo Board of Education only to
be told that the Board had no
apparent power to negotiate since
another agency controlled the
city’s purse strings.

CSEA Demands Free
Park Privileges
For Dept. Employees

ALBANY — Free use priv-
ileges should be extended to
employees of the State Park
commissions and to their im-
mediate families. This was the re-
action from the Civil Service Em-
plo’ ees Assn, prompted by the re-
cent withdrawal of such privileges
by the Long Island State Park
Commision.

In a letter to Robert J. Middle-
brooks, assistant director of State
Parks, Division of Parks, CSEA
Executive Director Joseph D. Losh-
ner, emphasized that the free use
of park facilities by employees of
State Park Commissions is a priy-
ilege necessary to maintain high
morale and good employees rela-
tions,

In a move to protect the rights
of these employees, Lochner stress-
ed that CSEA should be informed
before any final decisions are
made against the free use priy-
| loge or restrictions of any current
| Privileges, noting that this is in
| accord with the Governor's Bxe-
cutive Order on Grievances which
recommends that any new rule
change should be discussed with
employee representtaives before
the change is instituted.

“It must be realized,” Lochner
said, “that the granting of such

privileges promotes good employ-
ee morale and recognizes the fact
that the employees are part of the
| team which promotes and main-
tains the facilities. The effects of
such privileges are always mutual-
ly beneficial.”

are a group uniquely qualified
to judge the efforts of the Lind-
say Administration over the past
3%4 years—in the field of your
most intimate concern—the rela-
tionship between the public em-
ployer and the civil servant.”

“Let me place my case before
you—let me also say that I speak
with some fervor because of my
our involvement—I walked in the
garden at Gracie Mansion at the
break of dawn with Al Shanker
just prior to the settlement of
one of his frequent teachers’
strikes, I had breakfast with
Governor Rockefeller after an all
night session when we all felt the
‘rabbit’ had been produced which
would settle the Sanitation strike,
and I sit on the bi-monthly meet-
ings of the Mayor's Labor Policy
Committee which has been given
the Herculean task of coordinat-
ing the Office of Labor Relations,
the Bureau of the Budget—two
more natural enemies are diffi-
cult to imagine—and the Person-
nel and Law Departments. I hope
I know what I’m talking about.

“In reality, contrary to public
opinion, I submit that from the
City’s point of view, the results of
its philosophy of partnership
have been outstanding. We have
gotten good contracts in a good
atmosphere. "

Following his enumeration of
public employee gains under
Lindsay, Sweet noted:

“It has been my purpose to
ask to look at the Lindsay record
with labor as it ts—not as some
people say it is.

“In a time of turbulence and
violent change, Lindsay was will-
ing to adopt a new philosophy of
partnership—to develop new in-
stitutions—to have the guts to
try new solutions.

“The results for both parties to
this experiment haye been out-
standing—management has ach-
jeved a remarkable stability and
the unions have achieved sub-
stantial benefits. In evaluating

2,000-Member California Local
Of AFSCME Drops Affiliation;
Charges ‘Sacred Trust’ Broken

(Special To The Leader)

ALBANY—“International AFSCME (American Federation of State, County and Muni-
cypal Workers) .. . is breaking a sacred trust ... with the past and future of all working

people, everywhere.”

This was the reason given by the 2,000 members of the Contra Costa County (Cal.)

Employees Association for aband-
oning all ties with AFSCME. The
county group announced its dis-
affiliation from AFSCME in a
seething letter to all its members,
which was later published in The
County Employee, official news-
Paper of the 35,000-member Los
Angeles County Employees Assn.

“The deplorable situation in

California serves to substantiate |*

recent reports the the Interna-
tional AFSCME is experiencing
extreme difficulties with its mem-
bership not only in New York
State but in other areas of the
United States,” said Irving
Flaumenbaum, second vice-presi-
dent of the Civil Service Em-
Ployees Assn. Flaumenbaum refer-
red specifically to resignations of

“| AF'SCME’s Council 50 local presi-

dent at Kings Park State Hos-
pital and the secretary-treasurer
of the Pilgrim State Hospital lo-
eal, both on Long Island.

The “damning document,” as
The County Employee called the
letter, charged that AFSCME “has
been guilty of some of the most
abominable practices and fail-
ures in California unionism.”

Ordered To Stop Drive

The Contra Costa employees
were particularly infuriated when
AFSCME “openly ordered us to
stop pressing for collective bar-
gaining, which fs contrary to the
standards and ideals all unions
have been taught to live up to...
(and which would) cripple us in
doing the basic union job which
must be done.”

Decrying the AFSCME tactics,
the California group said, “The
member 4s our reason for being
and it is to the member that we
owe our allegiance first, last and
always. We feel that International
AFSCME was attempting to block
us from fulfilling this respon-
sibility . . . (by) a directive that
cripples our efforts to fulfill our
functions as a local union . . .*

“Incredible and horrendous,”
was Civil Service Employees Assn.
president Theodore C. Wenzl’s re-
action to the letter. “That any
union could order one of its af-
filiates not to seek collective bar-
gaining, which is the very foun-
dation of a union’s existence and
the basis of its members’ rights
as workers, 1s unthinkable. It 1s
against the time-honored and ef-
fective tradition of every union of
employees, both public and pri-
vate, in the United States.”

The California Association also
accused International AFSCME
president Jerry Wurf of ordering
them to “cease our efforts towards
a collective bargaining agreement
in the City of Oakland and in
Contra Costa County.” Wurf had
also ordered the local union to
“get rid of some 400 members who
had previously belonged to other
organizations and therefore, ac-
cording to his (Wurf’s) thinking,
had no right to join our local
union.

The California Association also
charged that it was forced to pay
$30,000 a year to International
AFSCME and, although it con-

stantly requested organizing and

other help from AFSCME, it “re~
ceived nothing whatsoever in re-
turn” for the dues.

“We should point out,” the let-
ter continues, “that since our fight
over autonomy with Wurf and
International AFSCME began over
two years ago, we have made
every effort to heal the breach
. . however, such efforts have
consistently been either rejected
or ignored.

Finally,
“if we were to survive,

the letter said that
a break

(with AFSCME)
necessary.”

President Wenzl declared, “This
whole business is shocking and un-
believable. All of us in New York
State congratulate the Contra
Costa County Employees Assn. for
its integrity in breaking this ter-
rible bond with AFSCME—theirs
was an outstanding example of
courage in the face of adversity,
demonstrated by an organization
dedictaed to the good of its
members.”

ployees (AFSCME) in preparation
for the forthcoming representa-
tion sections for State employees.

‘The nurses’ stand reflects the
thinking of hundreds of State-
employed nurses who were not
asked to vote on the affiliation.
Many nurses belonging to the
State nurses’ group are up in
arms over the arbitrary manner
in which certain leaders of the
Association “turned” the organi-
zation’s membership over to an
AFSCME front group without
having first been consulted.

Clarence Laufer, president of the
Civil Service Employees Assn.
chapter at the school said “our
nurses want to be represented by
CSEA and not AFSCME, the par-
ent body of Council 50. In fact,”
Laufer said, “eight of the ten
nurses at our institution have al-
ready signed a resolution to that
effect.” The two nurses who had
not signed the resolution at Lead-
er press time were unavailable
but reported by Laufer to be in
complete agreement with their fel-
low nurses.

Besides rejecting the affiliation
with the “Council of Professional
Organizations and AFSCME,” the
Syracuse nurses said in the reso-
lution that they are “in complete
accord in desiring representation
by Civil Service Employees Assn.”
The resolution also stated that
the nurses are “entirely opposed
to the action taken by the New
York State Nurses Assn... .”

“Reallocations in other nurs-
ing and medical series have taken
place on a basis of a comparison
to outside salaries. However, this
same recognition has not been
given to the attendants even
though there has been a more
radical change in their duties and
responsibilities than in any other
series, Their 1s little doubt that
the responsibilities accepted and
undertaken by these people bear
little resemblance to their form-
er role.

“Too many people today still
believe that ‘attendant’ is just
another name for hospital orderly.
This opinion demonstrates a
complete lack of understanding

this record, sensationalism must
be driven out by reality—fiction
by fact—and failure by a demon-
strated success, As Sartre says,
‘There may be more beatutiful
times, but this time {s ours.’

“I hope that John Lindsay's
courage to innovate, to strive, to
seek, to find, and not to yield will
be rewarded by your support.”

Fuchsberg, a former president
of the American Trial Lawyers
Assn. a member of the Civil
Rights Commission appointed by
President Kennedy and of the
Office of Economic Opportunity
Board appointed by President
Johnson, was the concluding
speaker, and explained the in-
ability of the Comptroller to at-
tend the meeting adding:

“Mario Procaccino has asked
me to express his understanding
of your problems to you from the
vantage point of a long-term civil
servant himself. In fact, while
he was a New York Judge, it
s the preservation of the Civil
Service pension rights which was
one of the motivating forces in
haying him refuse a proffered ap-

pointment by President Kennedy
to the Federal Court.
“Comptroller Procaccino has
asked me to stress to you that
the most significant grouping in

labor relations in the country to-
cay 1s that of our Federal, State
and Municipal employees. Because
of the complexity of our society
and inereasing involvement of
government in so many of our
daily activities, 70 percent of the
people added to the country's work
force since World War I are
elther in government service or
in government related work, such
for instance, the missile pro-

rio Procaccino, recognizing

Is fact, 1f elected Mayor, intends
to deal with the representatives
of civil service ag directly and
as personally as possible. His pol-
fcy will be that of an “open door”.
He does not intend to leave deal-
mgs with our civil service em-

ployees to “flunkies” or to “phil-
osophers without experience”.

“Mario Procaccino’s record in
dealing with civil service is well
established. For instance, in 1967,
he personally appeared before the
State Civil Service Commission
to oppose the plan of Mayor Lind-
say and the Commissioner of Hos-
pitals in New York City to ex-
empt high salaried jobs totalling
two million dollars in wages from
civil service.

“Comptroller Procaccino at that
time, attacked the Mayor's plan
because {t was contrary to the
merit system and also because it
undercut making civil service work
a career opportunity with as
much possibility of promotion
from within the ranks as possi-
ble. It 1s also well to point out,
that Comptroller Procaccino in the
management of the billions of
dollars of City pension funds had
| never sustained & loss but has
won, by far, the highest yield on
these funds in the history of New
York City. Furthermore, he has
surrounded himself with advisors
who include the President of the
Chase Manhattan Bank and the
President of New York Life In-
surance Company.”

In discussing the present cam-
Fuchsberg quoted Deputy

Mayor Sweet as having reported
that “Procaccino was a seven-to-
[ave favorite to win over Wagner
according to reports circulating
said that “Marlo Procaccino had
a very liberal policy for dealing
with the long-range root causes
of crime, such as inferior hous-
ing, broken families, poor educa-
tion and economie deprivation.”

“In the meanwhile, while we are
working to achieve this, Mr.
Procaccino is the only candidate,”
Puchsberg said, “with a proved
courage to maintain an orderly
society. He has most recently
demonstrated it, when he and
Council President Smith, resort-
ing not to force but to the due
process of law, procured an in-
junction from the Supreme Court
of New York, to reopen City Col-

|
pa

lege to the 18,000 students who
had been locked out by 150 dis-
sidents. He was also the first of
the current candidates to come
out against the proposed quota
system at City College. The other
candidates then followed sult, but
until Mr, Procaccino spoke out
they were all silent. The Mayor
did not come out in opposition
until five days later.”

“At stake”, said Fuchsberg, “was
whether we are to have anarchy
in our society, a condition under
which no progress could be made
or one in which we can live with-
out fear. The issue “Shall we
live by the law of force or by
the force of law? Marlo Procac-
cino stands for law.”

The workshop session was mod-
erated by Seymour Shapiro and
Panelists included representatives
of Blue Cross-Blue Shield; Group
Health Insurance, Metropolitan
Life Insurance Company; the
Civil Service Department; the

Attending the sessions were
Statewide CSEA officers Raymond
Castle, first vice-presidtmt; Hazel
Abrams, third vice-president;
Richard Tarmey, fifth vice-presi-

urer. Former City chapter presi-
dent William Berman, now a New

tendance.

Suggests Pay Raise

ALBANY—Joseph P, Doyle, a
PERB-appointed fact-finder has
recommended a $500 pay raise for
teachers in Hauppauge, Suffolk
County. The increase would be in
the starting salary for those with
a Bachelor's degree. The new level
would be $7,300 a year.

He also recommended an in-
crease in medical insurance to 76
percent of cost for all personnel
in the unit, regardless of plan,
and an hourly rate for home
teaching of $7 per hour.

CSEA ‘Hopeful’ Of Four-Grade
Reallocation Of Attendant Series
After C.S. Commission Hearing

ALBANY—‘“Mental Hygiene attendants are among the hardest working, most dedi.
cated of all State employees. Their reward for such service and dedication has been q
grade 6 allocation which we believe does not fully reflect the great responsibilities they

of this job.”
4 Grades Sought

So went some of the statements
made by the Civil Service Em-
pPloyees Assn. last week at a hear-
ing before the State Civil Service
Commission in support of a four-
grade reallocation for nine titles
in the Mental Hygiene attend-
ants series.

CSEA's appeal to the Commis-
sion, scheduled after a long wait
following a denial from the State
Division of Classification and
Compensation, asked the follow-
ing reallocations:

Attendant, grade 6 to grade 10
Attendant (TBS), grade 7 to
grade 11

Psychiatric sr. attendant, grade 7
to grade 11
Psychiatric sr. attendant
grade 8 to grade 12
Psychiatric staff attendant, grade
8 to grade 12
Psychiatric staff attendant (TBS),
grade 9 to grade 13
Psychiatric super. attendant, grade
11 to grade 15
Psychiatric head attendant, grade
14 to grade 18
Psychiatric chief super. attend-
ant, grade 17 to grade 21
Last week’s hearing was the
culmination of more than two
years of work by CSEA in be-
half of employees in the attend-
ant series. In 1967, CSEA had ap-
pealed to the Division of Classi-
fication and Compensation for
reallocations, and in 1968 that
body issued a denial. CSEA then
appealed that decision to the
Civil Service Commission.
Several CSEA  speakers—at-
tendants and CSEA headquarters
staff—spoke at the hearing,
stressing the attendants’ changed
role in the new programms and
methods of rehabilitation and
treatment of mental patients.
Mrs. Mary Blair, CSEA pro-
gram specialist, said: “In the
|team concept and in the new phil-

(TBS),

osophy of treatment, the attend.
ants, by virtue of being the oc.
cupational group that has the
most frequent and sustained con.
tact with the patients and, hence,
the greatest potential to contrib.
ute to the rehabilitation of the pa~
tients, are viewed as the most im-
Portant members of the treat-
ment team.”

Mrs. Blair stressed that the
attendant's role today is not cus-
todial but rehabilitative—one of
“total involvement” with the pa-
tients. “The attendant 1s the pri-
mary communicator for both pa-
tient and staff.”

“Certainly,” she said, “the cur.
rent salary allocation for posl-
tions in the attendant series have
no correlation to the more de.
manding roles that are evolving
for the attendant in the
treatment programs,

Wenzl Speaks

A statement from CSEA prest-
dent Theodore C, Wenzl ampli-
fied Mrs, Blair's comments. “We
firmly believe that the basic po-
sition of attendant should be re-
allocated to at least grade 10,
giving full and just recognition
to the paramount role he plays in
the care, treatment and rehabili-
tation of our mentally ill citi-
zens. The success of the overall
rehabilitative system, and the ef-
fectiveness of personnel of &
higher grade, namely physchia-
trists, depends to a large degree
on the effectiveness and efficl
ency of subordinate personne! of
which the attendant group 1s the
largest segment.”

Break Ties With AFSCME!

(AFTER MORE THAN A DECADE OF DISAPPOINT-
MENT, DISILLUSION AND FRUSTRATION, THE CON-
TRA COSTA COUNTY EMPLOYEES ASSOCIATION HAS
DECIDED TO “DISAFFILIATE” WITH AFSCME. THE
FOLLOWING LETTER FROM THE ASSOCIATION TO
ITS MEMBERS CONSTITUTES A DAMNING INDICT-
eae OF AFSCME AND ITS LEADER, PRESIDENT J.
WURF.)

CONTRA COSTA COUNTY EMPLOYEES ASSOCIATION
2739 Alhambra Avenue — Martinez, Calif,

April 22, 1969
Dear Brother and/or Sister:

The Board of Directors and Membership of our union has yoted,
at meetings held’on Monday, April 21st, to disaffiliate from International
AFSCME (American Federation of State, County and Municipal Employ-
ees) as of the above mentioned date. : TE

It is always unhappy when a relationship which started with high hopes 1
and dreams should end on a note of distrust and, Insofar as we are con-
cerned, betrayal of the interests of the individual member by AFSCME.

Yet, for those of you who have been members for any length of time, this
move will not come as any great surprise. Our relationship with Interna-
tlonal AFSCME and its leader, President J. Wurf, has been one of growing |
strain and tension over the past two or three years.

“At one point, when they attempted to strip our
nomy (control of much of our funds and all of our staff), we fought them
to a standstill throughout the state to the point where they finally conceded,

sere $200,000 WASTE:

Unhappily, other AFSCME local unions in California, neither so strong
nor {nslstent of their rights, were forced into an experiment that ended for
them only last. month in extensive loss of membership and the wastage of
some $200,000 over a two-year period.

It might be pointed out In conjunction with this, that while our local’
union has paid out $30,000 a year to International AFSCME in per capita
dues, while constantly requesting organizing and other help from the In-
ternational, we have recelyed nothing whatsoever in return during these
same past two years. .

‘The problem that brought the issue to ahead was a directive from Presi-
dent Wurf ordering us to cease our efforts toward a collective bargaining
agreement in the City of Oakland and in Contra Costa County.

At the same time, he ordered us to get rid of some 400 members who
had previously belonged to other organizations and therefore, according

thinking, had no right to join our local union. $

We
International AFSCME began over two years ago, we have made every

elther rejected or ignored. a
+ In December of last year and February of this year we made final at-
tempts to reach an understanding so that we might continue to function
Inside International AFSCME. On these two occasions representatives of
our Board of Directors and Staff met with President Wurf in final agoniz~
ing efforts to speak sense and make peace. But Wurf didn’t even pretend
to exhibit any interest in peace with us. *
(twas only a month after the last meeting with him that we received his’
directive which not only extends the old fight, but also would cripple us im

. | doing the basic union job which must be done.

$30,000 PAYOFF

‘Throughout this period, as has been previously pointed out, we have
gone on paying our $30,000 per year to International AFSCME, while
futllely asking for some return on our members’ hard-earned dues.

It is In this context — growing harassment from International
AFSCME, no return on our dues, and a directive that cripples our efforts
to fulfill our function as a local union — that our Board of Directors and
membership decided that if we were to survive, a break was absolutely

necessary.

We feel that we have consistently lived up to the highest standards of
unlonism. We feel that it is intolerable to continue affiliation with an or-
ganization (which itself has been guilty of some of the most abominable
practices and failures in California unionism) which openly orders us to
stop pressing for Collective Bargaining, which js contrary to the standards
and ideals all unions haye been taught to live up to.

BREAKING TRUST

>We feel that in disaffiliating from International AFSCME, we are not
breaking our ties with the labor movement and its ideals. On the contrary,
we feel that it is International AFSCME which is breakfng a sacred trust,
not only with us but with the past and future of all working people,
everywhere.

Legal Justification for our disaffiliation is the fact that our Contra Costa
County Employees Association was at the time of affiliation, and continues
to be, a legally constituted and incorporated organization under State Law,
Our affiliation was made by free choice; the same can be said of our

lation.

‘We have from our start lived by one basic rule: The member is our rea-
son for being, and it Is to that member we owe our allegiance first, last and.
always. We feel that International AFSCME was attempting to block us

from fulfilling this responsibility.
