38-Vote Margin In McGowan Win

‘ om

Wenzl Will Seek Court
Order For New Election

By MARVIN BAXLEY

ALBANY—William McGowan still clings to a slender 38-
vote lead after an unofficial recount of ballots for the Civil
Service Employees Assn. presidency.

Formal protest has been filed by five-term incumbent

THEODORE C. WENZL
«+ disputes wore tally

Precedent

Precedent exists for a new
election within the Civil Ser-
vice Employees Assn.

Two years ago, Capital Re-
sion IV first vice-president
Jean C. Gray, protested dis-
crepancies after her apparent
defeat. In the new election,
she won.

Although the specifics are
different in the two situations,
the rerun in the Capital Re-
ston was held since the num-
ber of disputed ballots was
greater than the difference
between the candidates’ indi-
vidual totals.

Roulier

ALBANY—Joseph B. Rou-
Mer, director of public rela-
tions for the Civil Service
Employees Assn. for the past
10 years, died on June 25 at the
Veterans Administration Hos-
pital, Albany, following a lengthy
illness. He had been seriously il)
for the past six months.

Mr. Roulier guided the public
relations and communication
functions of the big public em-
Bloyee union since the formative
days of the state's Taylor Law.
The programs and projects he
developed and designed are cred-
{ted with being largely respon-
sible for the CSEA becoming
recognized and respected as an
influential labor union by the
general public.

Mr. Rouller joined the CSEA
on May 20, 1963, as a field rep-
resentative, a position he held for
& number of years before joining
the public relations department.

president Theodore C. Wenzl,
who has also stated that he will
hire personal counsel in order to
seek a court order for a new
election.

Official results, announced
June 28, gave Mr. McGowan a
18-vote edge out of 46,453 tabu-
lated, At that time the tally was
said to be 17,2863 for Mr. Mc-
Gowan, 17,205 for Dr. Wenzl
and 11,965 for Kenneth Cadieux.

On June 30, however, a recount:
added another 125 votes, includ-
ing one batch that had been re-
jected by the computer on the
first count, The majority of
these were for Dr. Wenzl.

This unofficial tally, said to be
acknowledged by both the major
candidates, raises the total to
17,318 for Mr, McGowan, 17,280
for Dr. Wenzil and 11,981 for
Mr. Cadieux.

Dr. Wenzl said, though, that
there are seven or eight legal
points that he will raise in his
effort to gain a new election.
‘These include instances of ballots
discarded because they were im-
properly opened and defaced, in
addition to 1,456 ballots that
were set aside because they were
returned in the wrong envelope
(those that had been supplied
to state employees in the con-
tract ratification vote that was
almost simultaneous with the
union's officer elections).

‘The problem remains that as
of July 1 the new officers are
supposed to take office. Dr. Wenz)
has said that he intends to con-
tinue to report to work. There is
precedent for this within the
union for incumbents to con-
tinue their duties until election
disputes have been settled.

Other statewide offices were
settled without doubt.

In the race for executive vice-
president, Thomas McDonough
was re-elected to the position he
had vacated two years ago to
seek the presidency. Although
victory narrowly eluded him then
in a three-way contest, Mr. Mc-
Donough picked up 50.2 percent
this time against A. Victor Costa
and Joseph Lazarony, Mr, Mc-
Donough replaces Mr. McGowan

THOMAS McDONOUGH
Executive Vice-President

William McGowan may be the new president of the Civil Service
Employees Assn. After three terms as a union vice-president, he won
the top post by 78 votes in the official tally, and by 38 votes In the
unofficial recount. Although court action may possibly force a new
presidential election, Mr. McGowan, in the meantime, would still
retain his seat on the Board of Directors, since he was again
elected Western Region VI Mental Hygiene representative in a

separate vote.

Legislature Talks
CSEA's Language
In Contract Bill

ALBANY—The Civil Service Employees Assn. achieved
an important victory last week when both houses of the
New York State Legislature incorporated the union's lan-
guage into a bill approving the recently ratified contract.

“It means that all increments
will be paid,” said James Feath-
erstonhaugh, attorney for the

the eontract developed shortly
after the memorandum of agree-
ment was signed, averting &
statewide strike set for April 18,
‘The two-year pact, which grants
& 14 percent salary increase with
® $1,400 minimum within the
next nine months, was subse-
quently ratified by an over-
whelming margin, after union
leadership assured the rank and
file that the misunderstanding
over language would be resolved

fects for the union was the pas-

SHORT TAKES

SUMMER YOUTH JOBS UNFILLED

Because a high number of applicants failed to meet minimum
requirements, 2,000 summer youth jobs remain unfilled, according
to State Industrial Commissioner Philip Ross. Listed with Mr. Ross’
office are positions for general camp counselors and camp coun-
selors with special skills, open to 18-year-olds with at least one year
of college and prior experience in private or organizational camps.

NEW COURT DIRECTORS

The Office of Court Administration announced the appointment
of two key aids to Administrative Judge Richard J Bartlett. Michael
FP. McEneney was named director of the management and planning
office. Donald Fleming was appointed director of court information
service.

WOMEN, MINORITIES PAID LESS

A state Civil Service Department report released in June showed
minorities and women continue to hold lower paying jobs in the
state work force. The report says they are also excluded from certain
types of work altogether. For instance, in a state prison, where
most of the prisoners are black, none of the 65 prison employees
are black, State Human Rights Commissioner Werner Kramarsky
said private industry has been more active in recruiting minorities
and women.

LEGISLATURE MAY VOTE PAY RAISE

Senate Majority Leader Warren Anderson, (R-Binghamton)
said recently that state lawmakers may vote themselves a raise of
more than $3,000 before adjourning this month. Likely to be passed,
the raise will match that given state civil service employees in
April, said Senator Anderson, The lawmakers’ raise will not go
into effect, however, until a newly elected legislature takes office
on Jan. 1, 1979.

CHIEF FOOD ADMINISTRATOR

Gerald H. Weyrauch has been named chief peacoat of
the Board of Education's Office of School Food services. Mr.
Weyrauch comes to the school system with 25 years of experience in
the United States Navy and in commercial food service operations.

AWAITING WORD

Two of President Carter's nominees to the US. Civil Service
Commission—Ersa Poston, a New York State Civil Service Com-
mission member and Jules M. Sugarman, former Atlanta, Ga., chief
administrative officer and former New York City Human Resources
Administration head—are awaiting U.S. Senate confirmation, Alan

K. Campbell, the president's third selection, has already been
confirmed.

A BETTER DEAL

People 65 and older with Medicare benefits who live in the 17
southern counties of New York State are eligible for additional
health care coverage next month. Blue Cross and Blue Shield of
Greater New York designated June as Open Enrollment Month
for them, during which they can add supplemental coverage with-
out a health statement or medical examination, regardless of age
or physical condition.

COURT DIRECTOR

William J. Gallagher has been appointed director of adminis-
tion for the New York City courts, effective July 11, Mr. Gallagher
is presently deputy attorney-in-chief for the city’s Legal Aid
Society. Mr. Gallagher will assist City Administrative Judge David
Ross and supervise and coordinate budget, personnel and management

in the union's second-ranking
position.

For secretary, voters over-
whelmingly returned Irene Carr
to the position to which she
had been appointed last year
upon the death of Dorothy Mac-
Tavish. Her opponent in the
statewide race, Judith Burgess,
was re-elected, though, to her
position as secretary of Western
Region VI

As anticipated, treasurer Jack
Gallagher was returned for a
fifth term as he handily turned
back the challenge of John Hay-
den, who made only one major
appearance during the campaign.

In campaigns for the regional
presidencies, James Moore scored
the only upset as he defeated
two-term incumbent Richard
Cleary for president, of Central
Region V.

Incumbents were re-elected in
the other five regions. They are
Irving Flaumenbaum, third term
in Long Island Region I; Solo-
mon Bendet, third term in Met-
ropolitan Region I; James Len-
non, third term in Southern Re-
gion III, Joseph McDermott,
third term in Capital Region IV,
and Robert Lattimer, second
term in Western Region VI.

The regional presidents also
serve concurrently as statewide
vice-presidents.

North Colonie
Schools Won't
Contract Out

NEWTONVILLE — An im-
passe in negotiations be-
tween the Civil Service Em-
ployees Assn. and the North
Colonie Central School District
was resolved late last week fol
lowing the Board of Education’
decision to retain its transporta-
tion program instead of con-
tracting out.

After several meetings which
included Jim Cooney, CSEA field
representative, Howard Cropsey,
Albany County CSEA Local pres-
ident, a committee of North
Colonie School District bus
drivers, and the North Colonie
Board of Education, agreement
was reached to maintain the
school bus drivers and provide
an 8 percent across-the-board in-
crease plus increments to all
members of the bargaining unit
over the next two years.

‘The union had maintained
that the savings which might
have resulted from private firms
providing the daily transporta-
tion would be minimal when
considering the safety of the dis-
trict’s school children. CSEA offi-
cials pointed to complaints made
by other school districts which
contract out transportation.
Problems include constant late-
ness of buses and reports of un-
safe driving,

Although the unit consists of
clerical staff, kitchen workers,
maintenance personnel and cus-
todians, the bus drivers were the
only group threatened with the
abolition of thelr jobs by the
district's proposal to use private
firms for transportation.

GO TO HEALTH

By WILLIAM BR. WILLIFORD

Mr, Williford is a health and alcohol consultant with the State
Division of Alcoholism and directs the State Employee Health
Maintenance Program.

Are you starting to get convinced that no matter how much
you smoke you are just never going to be as rugged nor as sexy
as those fellows and gals that adorn the billboard and magazine ads?

Anyway, there appears to be little correlation between smoking
cigarettes and ever becoming a man's man or a
woman's woman.

One thing for sure is that smoking tends
to get rather expensive. In 1975 it was esti-
mated that the cost of smoking one pack of
cigarettes a day for 40 years at 8% percent in-
terest compounded monthly is $63,710. With the
cost of cigarettes increasing along with most
everything else since 1975, the present cost of
@ one pack a day habit ts considerably higher.

If economics is your bag, there are, of

- . course, other cost factors to consider when
discussing your smoking habit. There are the clothes, chairs, sofas,
tables and all the other items that have been ruined or devalued
because of a misplaced cigarette.

Unfortunately, for the unaware consumer, the cost of breaking
the smoking habit can also be rather expensive. Especially if one
believes that an expensive gadget will perform miracles. The over-
the-counter anti-smoking drugs and filters are costly and generally
ineffective. There is no easy way to stop. The final outcome will
depend on your determination to stop and not on the purchase of
an expensive gadget or plan.

People should also be aware of smoking withdrawal plans with
expensive fees. It is my feeling that anyone willing to dish out $150
to stop is definitely determined and should they fail, they deserve
to feel like a fool. If money is your sole motivating factor, that
$150 spent today to stop will not be that meaningful six months
from now when you are tempted to have just one cigarette to
see how it tastes.

Chances are there are some excellent smoking withdrawal pro-
grams in your community. Their total cost will vary from $5 to $10.
If you are thinking of giving your lungs and body a break, you
can contact a number of resources in your community for informa-
tion about an inexpensive smoking withdrawal program. Your county
Cancer Society, Heart Association, American Lung Association
and the Seventh-Day-Adventist Church are all willing to direct
you to @ program in your area.

A few points to remember if you or a friend decide to quit:

® A two-pack-a-day habit can reduce your life expectancy by
as much as 12 years.

* There is no safe filter,

By JANE BERNSTEIN

Many women agree that
one of the most challenging
problems facing them today
is finding decent jobs. There
are also problems attaining,
maintaining and growing in a
job—not just any job—but one
where the concept of equal work
for equal pay is practiced.

In public jobs there are offi-
cials and employment specialists
charged with hiring under the
Comprehensive Employment and
Training Act (CETA). These jobs
are geared to help the hard-
core unemployed, many of whom
are women.

In an effort to better under-
stand responsibilities they carry
toward alleviating female employ-
ment problems, more than 200
CETA counselors, plus federal,
state and city labor department
representatives, participated in
a June 14 conference at the New
School for Social Research. The
conference was sponsored by the
New York City Commission on
the Status of Women, New York
City Manpower Planning Coun-
efl, New York City Department
of Employment and the US.
Department of Labor Women's
Bureau.

Participants debated the best
ways to insure that more good
CETA jobs go to women.

In her address to participants,
conference host Ruth Cowan, the
city women’s commission head,
said, “The separation of jobs by
sex is reflected in CETA pro-
grams. We've begun to deal with
this separation by examining
stereotypes concerning what is
proper women's work and men’s
work, and by developing some
recommendations for eliminating
these obstructions to full em-
ployment opportunities for both
sexes.”

One recommendation made to
avert stereotyping women into
traditional female jobs was to
make sure that CETA training

programs prepare women for
other jobs. It was also recom-
mended that women be told the
types of careers available to them

“My father always told me
that no child ever becomes any-
thing he never heard of,” said
Alexis Herman, national director
of the Women's Bureau. “Wo-
men, and also men, must be
oriented early so they know
about the many kinds of op-
tions.”

Women make up 46 percent
of the nation’s unemployed and
40 percent of the hard-core un-
employed—those who have been
out of work for more than
15 weeks.

Ms. Herman said use of fed-
eral money in urban centers
must be flexible, because this is
where unemployment is highest.

Clara Luna, deputy commis-
sioner for youth employment,
agreed, and said more funds

must be made available for train-
ing programs and jobs for youth,
including young women.

Ms. Luna, speaking at a youth
employment workshop, said the
city should receive $50.6 million
Oct. 1 from the federal govern-
ment for jobs and training pro-
grams for city youth. Of that
$20 million will go toward the
1978 summer youth employment
program.

Youth employment workshop
participants said the key to suc-
cess in getting CETA jobs for
women and others ts to place
them in positions with opportu-
nities for advancement. They
added the jobs must pay at least
$3 to $5 an hour, Elga Kaufman
of the Council of Jewish Man-
power Associations said there
must be a link between training
Programs and the schools in
cities where CETA money is
distributed.

Political Action

‘OW does one judge the strength of a union? By the size

of its membership rolls? That has to be part of it. How
about the size of its bank accounts? Certainly there would
be no arguments about the importance of this item. There
is, however, at least one further test of the power of a
union; and about this subject there have been arguments in
the past.

Political Action: pursuing one’s interests through per-
suasion in the Legislature in an effort to build a structure
of law sympathetic to one’s growth and general health.

To go by what has been accomplished in this legislative
session by the Civil Service Employees Assn., the prognosis
for the union's growth and health is excellent.

Perhaps the most important bill passed this session was
one approving the CSEA contract recently ratified over-
whelmingly by the membership. The bill's language signi-
ficantly reflected the interpretation of the contract es-
poused by the CSEA, rather than the view supported by the
state. As a result the payment of certain increments which
were in question should now be no problem.

Another bill that should have far-reaching beneficial
effects gives the Public Employment Relations Board the
right to penalize management as well as labor for not bar-
gaining in good faith. CSEA members who recently felt the
threat of the Taylor Law during preparations for the averted
strike should feel relieved that the state can no longer come
to the bargaining table offering less and less, unless it also
wants to risk penalties.

About 50,000 former state workers will be affected by
a bill which grants a 14 percent pension cost-of-living in-
crease to employees who retired before April 1, 1969, Bills
have also been passed, or are close to being passed, which
would, in one case, provide reimbursement to those workers
who missed five days of work last winter because of the
blizzard; and, in another case, allow certain workers to apply
for tier 2 of the pension system where contributions are not
deducted from employee's pay.

And this week one of the most critical bills of the ses-
sion will be decided: The Agency Shop. It requires that all
workers protected by the union and benefitting from its
contract settlements, contribute toward the organization’s
expense. If it is passed, and union officials are “cautiously
optimistic,” two of the measurements of a union's strength,
its membership rolls and its bank accounts, would document
unequivocally that the CSEA was the unassailable giant
public employee union. The bill will have been achieved
through the third test of strength: political action.

Win or lose, the political team of the CSEA, Bernard
Ryan, James Featherstonhaugh, Martin Langer, and others
deserve congratulations as this legislative session ends. The
effectiveness of political action is proven; there should be
no further arguments. (KAS)

Anti-Union Measures

In a recent decision, the Appellate Division, Third De-
partment, reviewed an Article 78 proceeding brought by the
City of Albany to review a determination of State’s Public
Employment Relations Board (PERB).

On Nov. 14, 1974, the Albany Police Officers Union filed
an improper practice against the City of Albany, alleging
that the city police department's institution of a new tardi-
ness rule violated each paragraph of Section 209-A of the
Civil Service Law on improper employer practices.

The Appellate Division held that the record disclosed
no particular reason for the city’s institution, in September
and November 1974, of new rules on tardiness of its police
officers other than as an anti-union measure. The court
found substantial evidence to support a hearing officer’s
finding, confirmed by PERB, that changes in policy regard-
ing lateness for work very shortly after the union election,
with the union president being formally charged with “ne-
glect of duty” after reporting late for work, were motivated
to some extent by an anti-union bias. Thus, the finding of
interference with the right to unionize was sustained.

On Oct. 19, 1974, the union submitted contract proposals
to the city which included provisions concerning “discipline
and discharge” as well as department rules and regulations.
On Nov. 6, 1974, the department issued the so-called “No-
vember rule” which provided, among other things, that the
first occurrence of tardiness would result in a fine of at
least three hours’ pay, and on Nov. 13, 1974, the city re-
sponded to the union's contract that “discipline” and “work
rules” were non-negotiable.

In view of this action, the court also found the city
guilty of an improper employer practice in deliberately re-
fusing to negotiate in good faith with the duly recognized
representatives of its public employees on the issue of pun-
ishment for lateness, since discipline under Section 204(2)
of the Civil Service Law on recognition of employee organi-
zations is a mandatory subject of negotiations under PERB.
The court found that PERB's order directing the city to
cease and desist from unilaterally changing work rules or
violating new work rules was a reasonable exercise of its
remedial powers. City of Albany v. Helsby, 393 N.Y.S. 2d

QUESTION

Frederick Maltz, housing management represen-
tative: “I feel that the union
should retain the most com-
petent, experienced organizers.
These are the people who come
into contact with the prospec-
tive members. It is terribly im-
portant for white-collar organ-
izers to speak to the white-
collar workers and that the
blue-collar organizers speak to
the blue-collar workers in their
language. These are the store-
fronts for the union and they make lasting im-
pressions. I remember when a blue-collar organ-
iver addressed a group of white-collar workers
and his very manner and style did not win any
votes because he was unable to break through
the barrier. Had he been a person those white-
collar employees might have identified with, then
our membership may have increased."

Bob Wall, insurance advisor: “I feel that for the
CSEA to attract new members
it will have to exert stronger

sentatives in a swifter way.

Noel Harris, housing development representative:
“I feel that the image of the
union must be changed drama-
tically from one of little poli-
tical clout to one of strong
Political action. Today, there
are less people being hired for
civil service, This very fact
should make the union more
important to its members, The
4 union must personify protec-
a tion. It must never show signs
of weakness when dealing with
negotiations, By remaining tough and a fighter,
the union will gain the respect of its members
which, in turn, is the best method of promotion
of the union.”

Sara Wolfson, acconutant: “I feel that in order
to attract new members, the
CSEA should offer something
for the $60-$70 annual mem-
bership dues. These things can
be tangible or intangible. The

” union must offer a sense of
rnb security. A person must feel that
aS the union will be a protection

from foreign elements. I feel

the union must change its pre-

sent image. It must become

more aggressive and take the
hardest line in order to erase its old reputation.
The changes cannot be cosmetic because the
members will be the first to know it. A union
must be respected by its constituents.”

Eldridge James, senior accountant; “To attract
new members, the union must
be willing to fight for incen-
tives that, in turn, would at-
tract new members, One form
might be in the area of em-
ployee benefits. The insurance,
for example, could cost the em-
ployee less. They might offer
car or house insurance at lower
than commercial rates. There
could be a preventive dental
plan or a drug plan whereby

all prescription drugs are paid for in full, There

should be @ better way of channeling union in-
formation to the members, before the fact rather
than after the fact,"

Bob Benson, housing management representative:
“I think that CSEA must
change its image in the eyes
of the civil servant, the gen-
eral public and Albany. It could
serve as the official watchdog
of Albany politics and enlight-
en the public regarding Albany
affairs. Before Carey took of-
fice, there were 10 to 20 legis-
lative aides on the payroll. Now
there are over 200 legislative
aides on the payroll. The union

approved by an overwhelming

campaign in behalf of charter
reform exposed Goodman to
voters in all of the boroughs, a
circumstance that provides him
with a political base of some
value outside of his own Senate
constituency and outside the
mainstream of Republican voters.

In addition, Goodman has
some support among Liberal
party voters and appeared for a
short while as that party's most
likely nominee, until Governor
Carey intervened in behalf of
Cuomo.

While not much so far has

of Goodman, he is clearly a per-

Positions in Queens County to

alized by terminating four pro-
visional employees and rehiring
them on a per diem basis, As
per diems, they did not receive
fringe benefits. One of the peti-
tloners, a permanent employee,
was reassigned from Civil Term
to Criminal Term.

‘The reassignment of perman-
ent employees to Kings County
could neither be considered ar-
bitrary nor capricious. The city
has the power to reassign em-
ployees in the court system
where there is a sound basis for
the change in assignment. This
basis was due in part to budget-
ary considerations as well as
meeting the continuing require-
ments of the Unified Court Sys-
tem for court reporters.

The transfer of one of the
petitioners from Civil to Crim-
inal Term was necessary due to
the termination of three provi-
sional Criminal Term reporters.
‘The power of the city to termin-
ate provisional employees at any
time {is well established.

The troublesome question in
the case was the rehiring of
these provisional employees as
per diems which was said to pose
@ threat to the integrity of the
civil service system, Section 160
of the Judiciary Law contem-
plates that for budgetary or
other reasons, an official stenog-
rapher might not actually be in
attendance at Trial Term of the
Supreme Court. For this reason,
the statute gives the court the
independent power to appoint a
reporter on a per diem basis and
charge the cost against the coun-
ty, and Section 160 permits a
justice in charge of the Supreme
Court Term to appoint a stenog-
rapher where necessary. New
York City's budget problems re-
quired the use of per diem ap-
pointees in the Supreme Court
because the city could not pro-
vide official stenographers. These

Region V Meeting

CORTLAND—Central

Region CSEA delegates

were

brought up to date on the status of important bills before
the state Legislature and were given a detailed presentation

on CETA at their June 10-11

Bernard Ryan, CSEA’s director
of legislation and political action,
thanked the members for exert-
ing the pressure on their legis-
jators that has helped in the
battle to see agency shop ap-
proved. “But don't let up the
pressure,” he warned, because
“the opposition is mounting.”

James Currier, regional polit-
ical action chairman, informed
the members that the CSEA had
the leadership role in the agency
shop issue and he predicted pas-
sage of the bill

At a meeting of his committee
during the weekend, Mr. Currier
told members, “we're still
serounging for money." Payroll
deduction to fund political action
is still a goal of the statewide

political action committee, he
said
Mr. Currier said he has pro-

Posed to the statewide commit-
tee that it be required that the

standing committee of all CSEA
chapters

“We can't be hit or miss,” he
said. “If we change the consti-
tution so that this machinery is

set up, we won't have to go
scrambling for volunteers to get
the job done,” he continued.

Other members of his commit-
tee at this meeting mentioned
problems last year with endorse-
ments not matching members’
wishes. They felt these problems
could have been avoided had the
lines of communication between
elected representatives and the
membership been more open.

Mr. Currier said that political
action won't work “If our mem-
bers are provincial.” ‘They must
realize, he said, that a city unit
or a county chapter of the CSEA

does not help to get a mayor

ed or defeated. Rather.
CSEA does. Mr. Currier also
stressed that members must

carefully pick and choose who
they will try to help or hurt be-
cause the funds will run out fast
if an individual chapter tries to
do too much too fast

Knocking off one or two

make-up of some legislative
bodies,” he observed.

“There is corroboration for

JOIN CSEA?
1GET ALL THE
BENEFITS
ANYWAY,
RIGHT?

CLIP THIS AD AND GIVE IT TOA NON-MEMBER.

As we said. Wrong! If every employee of every work
location in the County Division belonged to CSEA,
your wallop at the bargaining table would be that
much stronger. Sure, now you get what your nego-
tiators win. But it could be more

If every eligible person working for New York State
belonged to CSEA, who knows where the State units
could go, But as long as a certain percentage of
employees do not belong, management (the State of
New York) will try to pit non-members against
members.

CSEA is only as strong as it is united. Make no
mistake about it in most areas of both local and
state government CSEA is strong. But anything less
than 100% membership participation still leaves
something to be desired

In all our 67 plus years of battling: for public em-
ployees, we've yet to see a non-member turn down a
newly-won benefit or raise. The dues are only $58.50
a year. $1.13 a week. And God knows where public
employees within New York State would be today if
it weren't for CSEA. Government is not known for its
philanthropic attitude toward its employees

Over the years CSEA has won protection for its
members so that even a change of political adminis-
trations cannot touch them. CSEA has won raise
after raise, benefit after benefit. Yet, there are some

people who still don't join. Certainly, $1.13 dues a
week isn't the answer. The price of job security has
got to be worth more than that

There are thousands of dedicated public employees
who give freely of their own time and effort to keep
CSEA strong—to ward’ off bureaucratic employee
controls from every level of government. When
CSEA members get together they discuss this
situation in hard-nosed terms. They don't call a non-
member a non-member. They call him a FREE-
LOADER. If you're a non-member, think of this: Your
tax dollars are supporting those officials who would
work against your new benefits. Why not give a little
support for those who are working for you? CSEA.

Look up your CSEA representative this week and
ask him for a sign-up card. Sure, we're on a member-
ship drive. But not for any other reason than to build
a better future for all of us. Remember — every penny
of CSEA's dues goes toward representing you.
We're not supporting some high monkey-monks in
Washington, or bailing somebody out of jail. We're
working to maintain our position of being The Most
Powerful Force in New York State working for Public
Employees. We need your moral and financial support

We also have great voluntary group insurance
programs available that'll save you many times your
dues on your home, auto, life and disability insurance
That's worth the price of admission alone

CIVIL SERVICE LEADER, Friday, July 8, 1977

Retiree Grapevine

By THOMAS GILMARTIN
CSEA Ret Coordinator

In a previous column I referred to a question being
frequently asked at that time: Now that the Civil Service
Employees Assn. successfully concluded a 14 percent pay in-
crease for state workers, what will the union do for its retiree
members? Recent developments have provided the answer:
thousands of our retiree members may soon be receiving an
increase of 14 percent in their July pension check, the largest
increase ever.

Of course, everybody will be claiming credit for this
very substantial supplementation for retirees, but I can tell
you that this increase would not have been agreed to by
the joint legislative leadership if the CSEA had not been so
strongly behind it.

Who will get it? As reported in this column weeks ago
in which the words of chairman Richard Schermerhorn of
the Senate civil service and pensions committee were quoted,
those retirees who most need it will be the recipients, speci-
fically those who retired before April 1, 1969 and who were
age 62 by June 1, 1972.

Unfortunately, the latter exclusion will continue to be
a bitter pill for a number of our older retirees to swallow. I
refer to the requirement that to be eligible for a supplemental
increase, a retiree must have been born before June 1,
1910. It is my understanding that this restriction was written
into the state’s constitution and only an amendment can
change it. Because of that law, some retirees have been
excluded from a cost-of-living adjustment in their retire-
ment allowances. I for one find this deprivation very unfair
to those who retired before April 1, 1969 but were not 62
by June 1, 1972.

Although everyone is pleased that more than 46,000 of
our “older” retirees will get this urgently needed 14 percent,
people who retired since April 1, 1969 will understandably
be disappointed and indignant. They still have not received
an additional cent to offset the enormous rise in the cost-
of-living during the past eight years.

Why do they continue to be denied a cost-of-living in-
crease? All of the legislators we have been in touch with
are solidly convinced that as of April 1, 1969, public em-
ployees retired at much higher pensions, and these law-
makers are adamant in their refusal to consider supporting
a supplement for retirees of the seventies.

The CSEA has tried very hard to overcome this reluct-
ance but would not permit itself to be forced into the un-
tenable position of demanding all or nothing. It would have
assuredly come out as nothing.

Retirees should know that CSEA's lobbyist-attorney Jim
Featherstonhaugh and director of legislation Bernard Ryan
worked very hard and effectively trying to make a 14 percent
increase a reality for the retirees. There were many others
who worked assiduously also, such as Martin Langer and
his legislative and political action committee.

Our own hardworking retiree legislative chairman Betty
Steenburgh and her committee members were unflagging in
their efforts. Betty has expressed her gratitude to all con-
cerned, including the thousands of CSEA retiree members
whose tons of letters to their legislators really paid off. I
join her in suggesting that when, as anticipated, the bill
passes, letters of appreciation be written to the legislators
who have made this substantial and unprecedented cost-of-
living increase possible.

Although at Leader presstime the bill was still on the
calendar of both houses, its passage seemed imminent.

HONOR OSWEGO SHERIFF'S RETIREES
More than 180 persons attended a recent dinner at Sackett’s Restaurant, Brewerton, to honor six

re-
tired members of the Oswego County Sheriff's Department. From left are Jack Miller, Civil Service
Employees Assn, field representative; Lt. Joseph Milano; Sgt, Rex MeNitt; Margaret Wagoner, assistant
matron; Rosalie Baehr, institutional cook; Les Sweeting, chief jailer; Charles Kennedy, treatment
officer, and Oswego County Sheriff Ray T. Chesbro, who presented certificates of merit and plaques to
the retirees with » personal comment on their outstanding service.

Suggest Immediate Benefit
Payment After Retirement

ALBANY—The Civil Service Employees Assn.'s standing pension committee has made
a number of key suggestions involving public employee pensions to the executive director

of State Employees Retirement System.

Dorothy Goetz, chairman of the CSEA standing committee, has written to retirement

Still serving actively as members of the Central Region retiree com-
mittee are these still-prominent leaders, from left, Thomas Ranger,
John Tanzi, Hazel Ranger, Florence Drew and Helen Musto. Ms.
Drew, Ms. Muste and Mr. Ranger are former Central Conference

Presidents.

Central Region V

(Continued from Page 9)

At the state workshop, president
Dale Dusharm of Oswego asked
for a volunteer to replace Jackie
Burgess, who will soon be moving
out of state, as corresponding
secretary. Doris Pratz, of the
Willard Psychiatric Center Local
will fill the job until elections
for new officers.

Mary Lauzon of Potsdam will
serve as workshop vice-president
until elections this fall.

At a joint meeting of the state
and county workshop, Bill
Frame, regional research analyst
for the CSEA, gave a detailed
Presentation on the many
troubles statewide because of
CETA employees.

‘The big problem, according to
Mr. Frame, is that no one in
government wants to take re-
sponsibility for running this very
complex and ever-growing mon-
ster. And, Mr. Prame said, “un-
til we can get these people to
be accountable, permanent em-
ployees (CSEA members) will see
their rights eroded to nothing.”

Many members mentioned in-
stances where CETA people are
filling posts which formerly were

promotional opportunities for
CSEA members.

“The state is getting a freebie
and loves it,” Mr. Frame said
And he exhorted the members to
be sure and file grievances where
applicable, “Our major problem
is that we've been forced to be
the police in this system,”

Irene Carr, corresponding sec-
retary of the region for eight
years, told the group that she
will not be seeking re-election
and that “there's not another
group in the world quite like
you,” and thanked them.

Outgoing Region V president
Richard Cleary thanked the
members for their “attention and
attendance” at meetings during
his tenure as president.

The next meeting of the Re-
gion, will be Sept. 30-Oct. 1 at
the Syracuse Marriott Inn.

system executive director Ken-
neth Altman offering the sugges-
tions the committee developed at
one of its periodic meetings last
week in Albany.

One of the CSEA’s committee's
suggestions, all of which were
strongly urged for consideration,
is that the Employees Retirement
‘System adopt a procedure similar
to the Teachers Retirement Sys-
tem whereby a retiree receives
an estimated benefit check at
the beginning of the first month
following retirement and con-
tinues to receive an estimated
benefit payment until the exact
pension benefit is determined.
Ms. Goetz noted that her union
committee constantly hears from
recent retirees complaining that
in many instances it takes three
or four months before the re-
tiree receives the first payment,
causing a financial problem for
the retiree.

Noting the committee's respon-
sibility to keep members aware
of the overall retirement sys-
tem and the necessity for care-
ful individual retirement plan-
ning, she recommended that the
system mail annually to each
member age 62 or older an es-
timate of their current retire-
ment benefit based on approp-
riate options. The CSEA com-
mittee suggests that the infor-
mation include how to initiate
the retirement application and
other documents and data that
will be needed.

Additionally, the CSEA stand-
ing pension committee has urged
Comptroller Arthur Levitt to
prepare additional informational
articles in The Leader similar
to @ recent, well-received article

Cute Simpson of Spring
Valley, a Grade 4 ward aide at
Letchworth Village Development-
al Center for five years, was ac-
cused of having sexual relations
with a center resident. Letch-
worth director Oleh Wolansky
immediately suspended him with-
out pay until a hearing a month
later. The hearing officer, se-
lected by Dr. Wolansky, found
Mr, Simpson innocent and rec-
ommended reinstatement with
back pay.

However, Dr. Wolansky re-
jected the hearing officer's
findings, found Mr. Simpson
guilty and fired him.

The then-CSEA regional at-
torney, William P. Volin of the
firm of Mailman and Volin in
New York City, filed suit on
Mr. Simpson's behalf in Rock-
land County Supreme Court,

“We pursued this matter be-
cause we believed Mr. Simpson
was innocent, and that by dis-
regarding the hearing officer's
finding, Dr. Wolansky denied Mr.
Simpson his right to a fair
hearing and a determination
based upon that hearing,” Mr.
Volin said.

Almost a year went by before
the case was heard. Rockland
County Judge Morton B. Silber-
man ruled in favor of the Letch-
worth director.

“Unfortunately, ‘the judge de-
cided the issue rather than trans-
ferring the case to the Appellate
Division, as required by law,”
Mr. Volin said.

CSEA appealed to the Appel-
late Division of State Supreme
Court which reversed the lower
court decision.

“A determination in an ad-
ministrative proceeding must be
based solely upon the record com-
posed of the hearing evidence,”

son of a fair hearing, one that
is meaningful and not simply
sham to support the adminis-
trator’s own predetermination.”

The court, however, did not
reinstate Mr, Simpson. Instead,
it remanded the entire matter
back to Dr. Wolansky “for a
new determination based solely
upon matters in the record.”

Dr. Wolansky upheld his ear-
lier decision.

Mr. Simpson's attorneys went
back to Rockland Supreme Court,
which transferred the matter to
the Appellate Division.

“The issue was a vital one to
CSEA,” Mr. Volin said, “It was a
question of whether a director
had a right to totally disregard
the finding of the only person
who had an opportunity to make
® valid decision concerning the
employee's guilt. The director
had neither heard nor seen any
of the witnesses, and there was
evidence other than the resi-
dent's story—discounted by the
hearing officer—to support the
charge. The significance of the
case is that it shows that the
CSEA was right in appealing the
matter through all the necessary
stages, regardless of the time and
effort involved.”

The Appellate Division found
no evidence supporting the di-
rector's decision. The justices
ordered Mr. Simpson reinstated
with full back pay—$36,000.

State Attorney General Louis
Lefkowitz appealed that deci-
sion to the Court of Appeals.
However, Mr. Simpson chose to
retire, and the appeal was with-
drawn.

John Clark, former CSEA

Letchworth Village local presi-
dent, praised the union's attor-
neys.

“Matiman and Volin never
gave up,” he said. “Bill Volin
worked for five years on this
case because he believed justice
had not been served. Thanks to
the dedication and perserverance
of the regional attorneys, all
CSEA members have a little more
Job security today.”

vides permanent job status to
the town’s current workers, al-
though they were hired without

recently adopted a testing sys-

Next week the Legislature will
also consider an omnibus bill to
increase unemployment insur-
ance and workmen's compensa-
tion rates. Included in the bill is
@ stipulation which would allow
non-teaching school district em-
ployees to collect unemployment
if re-employment after holiday
periods and summer vacation is
not specifically guaranteed by

Bernard Ryan, director of legis-
lation and political action for the
