CSEA Warns Rockefeller
On Work Stoppage; Meets
With Levitt And Brydges

(Special To The Leader)

ALBANY—While laying down a barrage of warnings to the Rockefeller Administra-
tlon that State workers would engage in a work stoppage unless Civil Service Employees
Assn. demands for action on its salary proposals and upgradings for clerical employees, the
organization opened up a second front this week by taking their battle to Senate Majority
Leader Earl Brydges and Comptroller Arthur L eyitt,

CSEA officials met yesterday
with Levitt to discuss the Em-
ployees Association's alms on re-
itrement and will meet with Sen-
ator Brydges on Wednesday con-
cerning salaries and other legis-
lative goals. At Leader press time,
a meeting with Anthony J. Travia,
Speaker of the Assembly, also was
rumored to be in the works.

In the meantime, Solomon Ben-
det, chairman of the CSEA Sal-
ary Committee, announced a
meeting of that group on Jan,
31 in New York City, Bendet’s

ing session was that “the recent
victory of the Parole Officers’ As-
sociation on their reallocation
demands — won by the threat
of a withdrawal of services —

our deliberations.”
CSEA Demands

CSEA’s warning was in the form
of two separate telegrams to the
State's negotiating team, Dr.
Theodore C, Wenzl, CSEA pres-
ident, in one message said, “Im-
mediate action demanded on del-
egates’ resolution for a 20 percent
— $1,000 minimum pay Increase
for all State employees, Continued
delay will precipitate actions by
our Statewide membership, tm-
Plementing our recent delegates
resolution calling for withholding

of employees services on the basis |

of extreme provocation under the

provisions of the Taylor Law.”
In the second telegram to the

Governor's negotiators, Wenzl

‘will certainly figure greatly in)said “Immediate action demand-

ed on reallocation of clerical and
stenographic employees. No legi-
timate reason exists for continued
delay. This reallocation needed
in addition to a general pay in-
crease,”"

| ‘The message concluded with the
| same reference vo “withholding of
|services” 4f action on the reallo-
| cation 4s not forthcoming,

| According to Wenzl, his organ-
{zation's membership “cannot walt
any longer. Today's report that
State parole officers have received
a two grade reallocation, obvious-
|ly because of their threat to
|strike, has prompted us to take
| positive action to insure that
| State employees receive an equit~
able salary increase.”

Mrs. Poston Defends
Order Cancelling Free
Time For CSEA Meetings

ALBANY—Mrs. Ersa Poston, president of the State Civil Service Commission, de-
fended a recent order of the Commission that attendance at Civil Service Employee Assn,
meetings by State workers be charged against leave credits by declaring the new policy

to be “consistent with the Attendance Rules, consistent with the neutrality order of the

‘Satisfactory’
Talks Stall
Parole Walkout

At Leader presstime it was
learned that “satisfactory”
negotiations were underway
between State Division of
Parole authorities and the Parole
Officers Association to end a
threatened work stoppage.

The Parole Officers had an-
nounced @ withholding of services|
at a Thursday press conference—
citing three grievances with the
State Administration. The action
was called off after the first sev- |
eral hours of talks with the State
officials. The organization de-
manded:

@ Approval by Governor Rocke.
feller and Budget Director T. Nor-
man Hurd of a two-grade realloca~
tion for all officers. The realloca-
tion has already gained Civil Serv.

PERB and consistent with the
public interest.”
Mrs, Poston’s stand was con-,

tained in a letter to Dr. Theodore
Wenzl, OSHA president, refusing
his demand that such attendance
without leave charge be restored
at once. She wrote saying:

“This is in reply to your tele-
gram received this morning con-
cerning time off for employee or-
ganization and/or union activiti

“The policy statement to which
you refer is designed to insure
compliance with the recent order
of the Public Employment Rela-

|tons Board requiring neutrality in

tions and unions, and equitable
treatment for all employee organ-
zations seeking _ representation
rights under the Public Employees’
Fair Employment Act, The At-
tendance Rules for Employees in

above. The January Sth policy

decision that parole officers should
have an upward reallocation of
two grades was an act of “ex-

what 1s now being referred to as
a “withholding of services.”

The 160,000-member Civil Ser-
vice Employees Assn., now in the
midst of a struggle with the Rock-

and retirement proposals. warned
early in January that such a with-

the Board of Snpervisors of

county, chapter of the Civil Ser-
ylce Employees Assn., on “on ex-
olusive basis” with respect to reg-
istered professional nurses employ-
ed by the county's Health De-
partment.

‘The decision followed a hearing
on the request ‘for ® “stay” filed
by the New York State Nurses As-
sociation. The CSEA had previous-
ly been recognized by the county
as the exclusive negotiating agent

that we need that friendship
more than ever, Our programs are
reasonable and justifiable and
their enactment is a duty and re-
sponsibility of government.”

Speakers

Speakers for the event were
Josoph D. Lochner, CSEA execu-
tive director; Seth Towse, CSEA
assistant counsel, and Louls Bus-
sell, chairman of the Committee
for a Just 1/60th Retirement.

Lochner stressed to his audience
the need for considerable improve-
ment in the Governor's proposal
for an eight-percent, across-the-
board raise for State workers,

saying that statistics and infla-|

tionary pressure justified = far
bigger raise, He warned that fall-
ure to keep public employees
closer to par with their counter-
parts in private industry could
lead to “financial disaster for our
workers in New York State—and
soon.”

In urging full retroactivity in
the non-contributoryy State Re-
tirement System, Bussell told the
legislators that the System’s as-
sets could “easily support such
retroactivity — and more.” He’
stated that it would be “grossly
unfair, unjust” to deny workers
a fully-guaranteed’ half-pay re-
tirement and that the only way

to do it was by providing full’

retroactivity,

“We are now in a long perlod
of trial and error with the Pub-
ie Employment Relations Board,”
Towse told his listeners. Board
members, themselves, lack experi-
ence and the Taylor Law lacks
other precedences in law, he de-
clared.

Pledge Cards

After a description of the cur-
rent problems being posed by
PERB hearings, Towse told chap-
ter delegates that CSEA members
throughout the State would’ soon
be receiving pledge cards to sign,
designating their desire to have
CSEA as their sole representative.
He urged an all-out effort to’ get
both members and non-members
signed up.

TUESDAY, JANUARY 30, 1968 "> |
Mrs. Poston Replies

RS, Ersa Poston, president of the State Civil Service

Commission, has defended a charge that ordering State
workers to use leave credits if they want to attend employee
organization meetings by stating that the Commission ruling
was “consistent with the Attendance Rules, consistent with
the neutrality order of the PERB and consistent with the
public interest.”

On two scores, we find Mrs. Poston’s defense of the
action without merit, There is nothing neutral—nor 1s there
any reason to be even using the term—in ordering members
of any State employee organization to use leave time when,
for decades, {t has been an accepted practice in the State.
Mrs. Poston also does not substantiate just why the revocation
of free time is in the public interest,

The basic thesis of the Commission order is that it had
only one of two choices: either to allow unlimited time off
without charge to an indefinite number of delegates and
officers of a proliferating number of employee organizations
or unions or to take the course described above,

First of all, the number of “proliferating” organizations
is bound tw decrease as the Public Employment Relations
Board finally determines the questions of employee repre-
sentation, Secondly, the total number of employees involved
in the State work force who attend such meetings 1s far less
than one percent. Thirdly, the smooth operation of an em-
ployee organization 1s as much in the interest of the public
as the smooth operation of government itself, since good
labor relations are an absolute necessity between government,
which represent management, and the organizations, which
represent labor, It has long been a common practice in the
private business and industry sector.

To date, therefore, Mrs, Poston has shown no real reasons
how the order of the Civil Service Commission can be con-
strued as anything other than, as we said before, anti-
employeeism.

Back To Work

HE fact finders in the Police-Fire Department parity
pay dispute have come up with their recommendations,
This dispute over salary differentials has been holding
back collective bargaining negotiations for almost six months,
Since the matter is now solved—if the City accepts the
panel's report—negotiations should get underway immedi-
ately.
Remaining is the matter of fringe benefits. To end the
delay, the City should accept the report and use the same
differentials for fringe benefits as for salary.

THE EDITOR
Objects To Detailed
Attendants Earning
Higher Pay Grades

Editor, The Leader:

“No upgrading for the clerical

force.” We have heard this state-
ment repeatedly for some time
now. Many of us get disgusted.
But, I think the biggest gripe
comes when Mental Hygiene at-
tendants' items are detailed to
work in the office—side by side
with account clerks, stenogra-
phers. typists, and such—doing
the same work and receiving only
grade six pay.
‘This situation not only dam-
ages morale but often breeds re-
sentment against those on those
items. True, they are not directly
responsible for the items they
hold—probably many of us would
do the same. But, the question
arises “Whose fault is it that
such an injustice exists?” Does
the responsibility le with the ad-
ministration on home ground or
does it rest with officials in
Albany,

We have witnessed over and
over the individuals who have
failed exams for titles carrying
a grade four or less salary only
to see them placed on a detailed
attendant item and receive @
grade six pay.

Is this equal opportunity, 1s
this fair? Are we in the clerical
force suppose to sit back and
Just accept this? It is time that
Albany decides to be “CIVIL” to
the clerical force in Civil Service.

Editor. The Leader:

Comptroller Levitt's letter in
your January 28 issue of The
Leader shows once again that
civil service employees have an
effective ally with @ definite pro-
gram in Comptroller Levitt,

We may not share his opinion
as to the urgency of the items
as he list them, but that can
be remedied. The important fact
is that he is for us! Let us not
be carping, argumentative. fault-
finding, critical and nit-picking
all the time, Did you ever do
anythng for civil service except
talk and complain?

For once let us write to Comp-
troller Levitt and tell him we
appreciate his interest and his
effort. Don’t we? Of course we
don't! All we ever do is bellyache

Law & You

(Mr, Goffen, a member of the New York Bar, teaches law a4 fhe
College of the City ef New York, fs the author of many books m4
articles and co-authored “New York Criminal Law.’

Justice Frank’s Guidance

IT SOMETIMES happens that Civil Service litigation 4
satisfactorily resolved by settlement with the ald of thy
Court. The case of Levin v. Municipal Broadcasting System
is @ recent example.

THE PETITIONER, A. Alan Levin, had twelve years of
varied experience in the radio broadcasting and allied fie)ds
prior to his employment by the Municipal Broadcasting sys.
tem in January, 1952. The latter terminated his services jn
November, 1966,

FOR TWO YEARS prior to his termination, the petitioner
had served in the non-competititve classification of Assistant
to the Director of Radio Communidations, He contended
that his dismissal violated the Civil Service Law, Section!
75. The statute prohibits removal of a permanent employee,
even though he 1s not in the competitive class, except for}
iIncompetency or misconduct—shown after a hearing—it thi
employee is an honorably discharged veteran who had served}
in time of war. However, this limitation upon the power o|

removal does not apply, among other situations, to deputi
Deputies may be dismissed at will.

THE PETITIONER was evidently entitled to the benef
of the statutory provision. However, the respondent contend:
ed that he was, indeed, the Director’s deputy. In opposin
this contention, the petitioner pointed out that the Directo
does not have statutory authority to appoint deputies, lq
any event, the petitioner was not authorized to exercise ins
dependent discretion, and, unlike a deputy, he did not occup
a confidential relationship to the Director. Nor was he auth:
orized to act in lieu of the Director.

IN VIEW OF the factual issues raisesd by the conflictin
contentions of the parties, Justice Samuel H. Hofstadt
directed a trial. The case appeared before Justice Harry 3
Frank in Trial Term. Justice Frank whose opinion in 4
case of Darcy v. Fraiman (Column of February 14, 1967) Wi
affirmed all the way up to the Court of Appeals there deal
with the related problem of whether lawyers assigned
the Department of Investigation were deputies. In
Fraiman case, the learned Jurist had found that the “hed
of the work” of the Investigation Department “is deleg@l!
to the petitioner.” Consequently, such employees did 1
enjoy the protection of Section 75 of the Civil Service L#

IF LEVIN were not a deputy, he was entitled to rell
statement as well as back pay for the period that he
wrongfully deprived of his position, However, neither ty
petitioner nor the respondent could be certain how 4 trl
would resolve the issue of Levine's status.

WITH CONSUMMATE patience, Justice Frank help
the parties come to a reasonable settlement without
necessity for a trial. The settlement resulted in reinstatenty
of the petitioner to his position effective November, i“
the date on which he had been discharged, His prior
charge was expunged from his employment record. ae
ceived six months’ back pay. He was paid an additional "
stantial sum in satisfaction of claims for unused ann
leave and compensatory time allowance.

ONE OF THE terms of settlement was that
July 1, 1967, the position that petitioner had held W i.
abolished. In this way, the respondent was enabled a
minate the petitioner’s services without violating De to
rights, At the same time, it was agreed that the er to
had the right of appointment for a period of one she
similar position if it should be created. The Ca a cell
would be at the same compensation as he therefore

cow
IN VIEW OF the offers, withdrawals of offers, 094 1

counsel. The peaceful settlement of the pen pica

Legislation Needed
To Reduce Monroe
County C.S. Comm.

(From Leader Correspondent)

ROCHESTER — It's going
to require both State and lo-
cal legislation to reduce the
Monroe County Civil Service

The commission, which is like

‘|the board of directors for the

county's personne] department,
was expanded from three to five
members when the city and

.| county civil service functions were
»| Merged in 1961.

The City of Rochester recreated
its own civil service commission in
1964, after a court battle, but the
county commission never was cut

ai| back to three.

When the County Charter was

| adopted in 1965, one of the ad-

vantages included was that the

-| county would have more “home

rule,” meaning it would not have

0
to seek State legislation for many
| funetions,

However, the charter said the

| County Civil Service Commission

would continue “as established
under the optional county govern-
ment Jaw,” which specifies a “five-
member commission.”

:1/60th Report

By LOUIS BUSSELL
This column is pleased to
note Comptroller Levitt’s let-

ter to the Editor published in|
last week’s Leader. We thank|

Comptroller Levitt for his expres-
sion of support of our efforts to
achieve a just 1/60th Retirement
Law. This pledge of support is
most welcome and vital to our
oause. In his letter, the Comptrol-
ler ralsed certain questions which
merit reply

The first question raised was
what were the ages of the re-
= tees, Under our present Retire-
ment Law, the pension for those
entering State service after 1960
ts. solely dependent upon length
ot service, with the retiree’s age
tmaterial to the amount of pen-
sion benefits payable, The point
we raised was that employee “B'
with 38 years of service; a final
average salary of $10,112 and who
contributed $12,208 of his own
money to the pension system,

for civil service

under Option % would recelve
$4,437 and under Option 1 would
receive $3,954. The age of this
employee was not relevant to our
example illustrating the inadequa-
cies of retirement benefits for a
retiree with the above factors to
his credit

The second question propounded
by the Comptroller was what
were the ages of the beneficiaries.
We respectfully call to the atten-
tion of the Comptroller that under
“No Option,” “Option ‘4 and
“Option 1” the ages of beneficla-
|ries have no bearing in the ac-
{tuarial computation of retirement
benefits.

The third question raised was
whether the examples cited had
large borrowings. Employee ‘B”
|haa an outstanding Ioan amount-
ing to $1,475, payment of which
would increase the annuity under
No Option by approximately $125
per year with proportionate in-
creases under the various options.

Comptroller Levitt has raised
the issue of Social Security. Our
Pension System offers a 55 year
retirement to State employees, So-
cial Security benefits are avall-
able at age 65 but may be re-
ceived at age 62, in a reduced
amount. It is the Intention to con-
vert our 55 year retirement Pen-
sion System to one In which mint-
mum age of retirement is 62? If
this is the intent, then tnstead of

feirement Board
proposes 15 Bills

the Board of the New York
giate Teachehs’ Retirement Sys-
tem has authorized @ compre-
yensive. 15-bill program for aub-
pission to the 1968 Legislature,
garold N. Langlitz, executive di-
sector, has announced.

The program deals with three
pain areas of interest to the Sys-
ten’s 150,000 public school teach-
r members: Extension of present
temporary benefits, creation of
new benefit programs, and reyi-
son of others.

One of the more far-reaching
programs that would be estab-
jished under the legislation is a
yarlable anuity, which would en-
ble 8 member to choose to have
pert or all of his contributions
tnvested in corporate equities so
thet, upon retirement, part of his
glowance would be adjusted per-
fodically to reflect the values of
those investments. The remainder
of the members retirement allow-
ance would consist of a normal
fixed-dollar pension, Combination
of the two methods, it is felt,
would tend to stablize a retired
members’ allowance. A bill creat-
ing the variable annuity was pre-
filed in the Legislature several
weeks ago.

Another part of the legislative
program would allow teachers
who reside in New York State,
but have teaching service in other.
ilates, to apply @ portion of their
out-of-state service toward retire-
ment eligibility in the New York
State Teachers’ Retirement Sys-
tem. Present Jaw requires 25 years
of New York State teaching serv-
‘ce for normal retirement eligi-
bility,

Other measures to be sponsored

by the System creating new pro-

Visions would:

1. Provide automatic supplement-
#l adjustments based on Cost-of-
Living Index.

4. Credit additional interst, above

Forbes recommended council
recognition of the three local
groups representing employees,
saying they were “qualified” under
the law.

Raymond C. Pacific, CSEA
chapter president. requested coun-
cil recognition, exclusive of police
and fire employees.

Mayor Theodore Rand told the
council that the resolutions recog-
nizing bargaining agent groups
among the employees “will likely
be the first of many concerning
the Taylor Law.”

The City manager seid current
bargaining will “cover the 1968-
69 fiscal year.” He said similar
procedures must take place an-
nually.

Geographic And Shift Differentials
Queries Answered By J. Earl Kelly

ALBANY—A series of questions and answers dealing with the administration of the
geographic and shift pay differentials has been developed by J. Earl Kelly, Director of

Classification and Compensation,

In releasing the questions and answers, Kelly noted: “It is evident from a review of

many of the applications for dif-
ferentials which have been filed
with us that some further bel
planation of the law and rules is
needd by those who may be pre-|
paring or contemplating the pre-
paration of applications or re-/
view."

The question and answer serie
follows:

What are geographic area and
shift pay differentials?

‘These differentials are cash
compensation which is added to
base salaries under circumstances
which will be described in the
questions and answers that follow.

In what amounts will these
differentials be paid?

They may be a percentage of
baste pay ov a fixed dollar amount.

Is there any limit. on the
amount of pay differential which
may be authorized?

No.

Who may
ferentials?

The Director of Classification
and Compensation in the Depart-
ment of Civil Service subject to
tha approval of the Director of
the Budget

To whom should a request or

for a pay differential

establish pay dif-

To the Director of Classifica-
tlon and Compensation.

May the Director of Classifica-
tlon and Compensation authorize
pay differentials on his initiative?

Yes. The Division of Classifica-
tion and Compensation has com-
menced a program of continuing
and systematic studies for the
Purpose of identifying classes
(titles) and areas of the State
for which the authorization of
geographic ov shift differentials,
or both, may be needed to meet
ithe competition of other em-
ployers.

What is meant by a geogra-
Dhical location?

TI Bu Director's rules
(Section 142.1 (b) define a geo-
@raphical avea or location as “an
Identifiable place in the State as
specified by the Director of
Classification and Compensation |
on the basis of geographical or
other physical boundaries with
reference to the particular oc-
cupation involved and to related
labor market considerations.”

Have geo hic areay been pre-
determined:

No.

In addition to the general
guides set forth in the Budget
Director's rules, namely, the par-
ticular occupation and related
labor ‘ket considerations, what
ether consid ions may enter

to the determination of geogra-

areas or locations?

The numbers of State positions
fo a given title or titles in a par-
ticular area, the availability of
adequate pay data in private or
other non-State employment for
the title ov titles and the State's
recruitment experience.

Who may apply to the Director
of Classification and Compensa-
tion for a geographic area or
whi(t pay differential?

Appointing officers, employees
and employee representatives.

How ts such application made?

Tuesday, January 30, 1968

It is to be made upon @ form
prescribed by the Director of
Classification and Compensation.
Inasmuch as the application
forms have not been. printed, ap-
plications in letter form will be
accepted by the Director of Classi-
fication and Compensation pro-
vided the applicant sets forth in
his letter the information re-
quired by the Budget Director's
rules. (See questions No. 12 and
13.)

What kind of information ty re-
quired to be set forth in an ap-
plication for » geographic area

basic pay scales;

@ The source or sources of
data pertaining to rates of
pay and hours of work among
non-State employers;

@ If available, data which
will tend to establish that in
the area for which the shift
differential is requested, the
State 1s experiencing diffi-
culty in recruiting employees
for the particular title and
has been losing employees in
that title (if such is the case)
to other employers for the
same class of work on shifts

pay differential?

@ The title of the oocupa-
tion for which the differential
is requested;

@ A description of tha area
or location for which the dif-
ferential is requested;

@ The amount of ditferen-
tial requested;

@ Comparative salary data
of such @ nature as to show
that under community wage
practices in private or other
public employment in the
area for which the geogra-
phic area pay differential is
requested and for tha class
(title) of work involved “out-
side” pay rates ars not only
higher than the State's pay
rates but as well are higher
than “outside” (private in-
dustry and other non-State
employers) rates for tha sama
class in most other areas of
the State;

@ If avallable, data which
will tend to establish that in
the area for which the dit-
ferential is requested tha
State is experiencing diffi-
cuty in recruiting employees
for the particular title and
has been losing employees in
that title (if such ts tha oase)
to other employers for the
same class of work;

@ The source or sources of
pay rate information among
non-State employers.

What kind of information is
required to be set forth In an ap-
plication for @ shift pay ditfer-

ential?

eThe title of the oocupa-
tion for which the shift pay
differential is requested;

@ A description of the area
for which the shift pay dit-
ferential 1s requested;

@ The amount of differen-
tial requested;

@ The time that the work of
the particular shift com-
mences and the time that it
ends;

@ Data of such @ nature as
to show that, for the partlou-
lar occupation and shift tn
the area to which the applica-
tion applies, it 1s the common
practice among non-State
employers to pay shift dit-
ferentials;

@ That for the particular
occupation and shift, in the
area to which the application
applies the combination of
basic pay and. shift differen-
tial pay provided by non-
State employers results in
total compensation which sub-
stantially exceeds the State's

other than the day shift;

@ Factual data of such a
nature as to reasonably sub-
stantiate that the duties and
responsibilities of employees
who work on the shift for
which the differential is
sought are at least compara-
ble to the duties and respon-
sibilities of employees in the
same occupation who work on
the normal day shift.

What is the need for geogra-
phic pay differentials?

For some titles (occupations),
in a few areas of the State, our
competitors (private industry and
some governmental jurisdictions)
are paying salaries which are
materially higher than those be-
ing pald by private and non-
State employers in most other
areas of the State. In such cases,
if the salary grade for the title
ts fixed according to the rates
which prevail in most areas of
the State, the pay 1s too low to
enable the State to recruit quall-
fied employees for that class of
work in the high rate area. On
the other hand, if the salary grade
for the class is fixed according
to the rates which prevail in the
high rate area, the salary 1s too
high in relation to rates which
are being paid in private and
other non-State employment in
most other areas of the State.

By authorizing an appropriate
pay differential for the high rate
area, the State should be able to
effectively recruit qualified per-
sons to fill positions in the high
rate area and at the same time
not over-pay the same class of
work in most other areas of
the State.

What is the need for shift pay
differential?

For some titles (occupations)
in certain areas of the State,-our
competitors (private industry and
some government jurisdictions)
are paying extra cash compensa-
tion to employees working hours
other than the normal day shift.
The combination of extra com-
pensation and the employee's base
Salary may be materially higher
than the salary paid by the State
for the same occupation. In such
cases if the salary grade for the
title 1s fixed according to the
rates which prevail in most areas
of the State for normal day shift
work, the pay may be too low to
enable the State to recruit quali-
fied employees for that class of
work for shifts other than the
normal day shift.

On the other hand, if the: sal-
ary grade for the class is fixed

during the evening and night
shifts it may be too high in re-
lation to rates which arg pald in
private and other non-State em-
ployment for normal day shift
work, By authorizing an appro-
priate pay differential for eve-
ning and night work the State
should be able to effectively re-
crult qualified persons to fill the
positions during such hours and
at the same time not over-pay
the same olass of work during
the normal day shift.

What -is meant by tho term
“other non-State employers” as it
is used in the Budget Director's
rules?

Generally, this means other
governmental entities such aa the
Federal Government and cities,
counties’ and towns within the
State of New York.

What. conditions must exist to
warrant the authorization of a»
geographic area pay differential?

The Director of Classification
and Compensation must be able
to find that:

@ tho salaries being pald
for the particular occupation
by private or other non-State
employers: in the particular
geographio area substantially
exceed the salaries being paid
by private or other non-State
employers for the same or a
similar occupation,’ generally,
in the State;

@ the salartes paid for the
occupation by private and
other, non-State. employers in
the particular area substanti-
ally exceed’ the State's salary
for that class of work;

@ the disparity between the
State's salary and the salary
being paid in the particular
geographic area by private
and other non-State employ-
ers 1g causing the. State un-
usual difficulty in the recruit-
ment of qualified employees
for the particular class of
work in such area.

What conditions must exist to
warrant the authorization of »
shift pay differential?

The Director of Classification
and Compensation must be able
to find that:

@ for the particular occu-
pation and shift in the aren
under consideration, it ts the
common practice among non-
State employers to pay shift
differentials;

@ the combination of basi¢
Pay and shift differential pay
by non-State employers re-
sults in total compensation
which substantially exceeds
the State's basic pay scales;

@ in the area being consid-
ered, the State 1s experiencing
difficulty in recruiting quall-
fied employees for the par-
ticular class of work or that
it has been losing employees
to other employers in that
area for the same class of
work on shifts other than
the day shift;

@ the duties and responsl-
bilities of employees in the
Particular occupation on the
subject shift are not materl-
ally less than the duties and
responsibilities of employees
in the same occupation who
work on the day shift in the
same State institution or work
location.

If I make application for a geo-
Braphic area or a shift pay dif-
ferential, will the Director . of.

ment data?

throughout the State.

CSEA members found the
move necessary when it became
apparent that the already over-
crowded facilities at 8 Elk Sst,
could not accommodate an ex-
panded staff, The new structure is
located in the same block at 33
Elk St., across from the State
Capitol.

Coinciding with the opening of
the new facilities will be the re-
porting to work this Monday of
several new staff members. The
staff will be increased to more
than 100 in the near future. More
CSEA regional attorneys also have
been retained in line with the
general expansion plans,

Dr. Theodore C. Wenzl, CSEA
president, said: “Our present
headquarters, which has served us

for the last two years, during which
time our membership has almost
tripled, is very overcrowded ...
We are confident that the move
into the new headquarters build-
ing will result in a more effi-
cient operation and provide more

HEMPSTEAD — The Nassau chapter, Civil Service Em-
ployees Assn,, has apparently beaten down an attempt by
two labor unions seeking decertification of CSEA

In an informal conference before William Duggin, trial
examiner of ‘the State Public |
Relations Board, N A
field representative Arnold Moses |

cited’ a» provision of the Taylor |
law barring the union's tactic.

‘Phelaw, Moses explained, spe-
otfles thet where an employees’

organization has been recognized
before April 1967, any petition
for decertification must be sub-
mitted between 165 and 120 days
before the budget submission date.

CSEA was recognized in Hemp-
sead Town last March, and the
town’s budget submission date is
Nov. 1. Thus, the decertification
request was submitted too late,
Moses asserted.

In addition, the groups had
failed to submit any basis for
their request, Moses argued.

Town labor relations represen-
tative Raymond Harrington agreed

that Moses was right, and Dug-
gin took the matter under ad-
visement

Schenectady Incident Probed
For Taylor Law Violations

York State Public Employment Relations

| Board announced last week that its counsel has begun an

inves

tigation to determine whether any employee organiza-

tion violated the strike prohibition of the Taylor Law dur-

ing the recent work stoppage at
the Glendale Home in Schenec-
| tady

| Francis J. Higgins, the Board’s
Counsel, said he has asked for
| evidence from all interested par-
| tles. Requests for evidence have
been made of the Schenectady
| chapter of the Civil Service Em-
| ployees Assn., and {ts parent State
| organization as well as of the
| Schenectady County Manager and
the administrator of the Glendale
Home.

“The purpose of our Inyestl-
gation {s to determine whether
there {s evidence of a violation
by any employee organization of

tives and attorneys on the staff
of the parent organization. We're
not going to have any board tell-
ing our members they cannot have
their professional resources.”

Furthermore, Flaumenbaum as-
serted, the board's effort to limit
its recognition poses a threat of
intimidation by the employer to
the local unit, “We'll have no
sweetheart contracts,” Flaumen-

baum declared,

The Jericho unlt comprises 200
| of 250 clerks, custodians, cafeteria
| workers and bus drivers in the
| Jericho School District

Flaumenbaum announced that
| the chapter had won a hearing
before the State Public Employ-
| ment Relations Board on the issue
of recognition of CSEA—with no
reservations. The heaving has been
set for Feb. 16.

action will depend on the evi-
dence he gathers.
