Of Improper Practice

SCHENECTADY — A second improper practice charge has been filed by the Civil
Service Employees Assn. with the State Public Employment Relations Board against the
Schenectady Off-Track Betting Corporation, as a result of the local OTB’s alleged continu-
ance of efforts to impede its employees’ right to organize.

Wenzli Slams PERB
Voting Method As
Being ‘Ridiculous’

(Special To The Leader)
ALBANY—Theodore C. Wenzl, Civil Service Employees
Assn. president, termed it “confusing and ridiculous” when
he received final word from the Public Employment Re-
lations Board on how the representation election will be

conducted by PERB for some
43,000 employees tn the Institu-
tonal Unit.

CSEA has been challenged for

exelustve bargaining rights for
1973 in the Institutional and the
Professional, Sclentifie and

Technical Units. PERB, after a
series of meetings, agreed to the
standard secret mail ballot pro-
cedure justified by their various
spokesmen as being “efficient and
effective in ensuring maximum
vote from the employees.”

One week later, PERB issued
what they termed an “interim
decision” which reversed its pre-
vious decision and specified that
im the Institutional Unit alone
they would conduct an “experi-
ment.”

‘Thetr decision called for 47
percent of the Institutional work-
ers to vote on-site using a bal-
lot box procedure. Wenzl made
i clear that "We are not ob-
Jecting to the on-site procedure!
What we are objecting to ls a
series of questionable reversals
by PERB which would lead one
to believe that they are unsure
of themselves and subject to
political pressures,”

Wenazl was certain that the de-
cision would lead to confusion.
He said, “PERB obviously wasn't
familiar with the Institutional
set-up. Because of this, they have
our workers using two systems of
voting, one by mall and the
other by on-site ballot, right at
the same institution.” He added,
“This certainly will cause chaos.”

Specifics on the voting direct
that the PS&T Unit ballots be
matied on Nov. 20, The deadline
for voting will demand that the
ballot be in PERB's hands by
Dec. 8 to be counted on Dee. 9.

‘The Institutional Unit, accord-
ing to PERB, will have 53 percent
of its workers vote by mall, Bal-
lots will be mailed to that por-
tion of the unit on Nov, 20 and
will be counted on Deo, 8,

The following institutions
were designated by PERB to vote
on alte: Haverstraw, Bingham~-
ton, Brooklyn, Buffalo, Gowanda,
Kings Park, Manhattan Support
Services, Marcy, Rochester, Wi!-
lard, Creedmoor, Harlem Valley,
Rockland, Rome, Wasale, Wil-
lowbrook, Suffolk, Sunmount and
Dunlop.

On- site elections will be con-
ducted at the institutions above
on Deo. 7 from 5 a.m, 7 p.m.
PERB has not yet announced
voting sites. According to PERB,
“a decision ts pending on wheth-

er employees will be given time
off to vote." CSEA Is demanding
one hour non-chargeable voting
time.

PERB will send employees no-
tices of election for both units,
These are scheduled to

Duplicity Is Charged

Fast Meadow Unit Of
Nassau CSEA Refuses
To Sign Offered Pact

MINEOLA—The Nassau chapter, Civil Service Employees
Assn. has filed an unfair-labor-practices charge and re-
fused to sign a contract with the East Meadow School Dis-@
trict, charging that the district’s representatives had ne-

gotiated by Mes.

Members of the 300-member
East Meadow School District unit
protested with signs on their
vehicles parked outside the
schools last week after the blow~
up.

Nassau chapter president Irv-
ing Plaumenbaum said district
negotiators had sacrificed their
honor and credibility.

A CSEA demand for pay for
unused sick leave had been bar-
gained away in negotiations
after district representatives de-
clared that they would not agree
to that provision elther for the
CSEA non-teaching personnel or
for the teachers.

trict granted sick-leave pay to

(Or, change that will work vs. change that won't work.)

President Nixon’s idea of change is orderly—and works.
Senator McGovern’s ideas about change can easily prove chaotic

—and won’t work.

Under President’ Nixon, America has become quieter than
it was in 1968. Our campuses are back to scholarship. Our cities
no longer have frequent riots. The drug traffic into America has
slowed down. Last year, for the first time, 80 major cities reported
‘a decrease in crime. Funding to saye our environment has in-
creased 500%—and the effects are beginning to be felt. The door
has been opened to China. A limited arms treaty has been signed
with Russia. Half-a-million Americans have been brought home

from Vietnam.

There’s much, much more. All of it change. But orderly
change. Compare this change, the change we have had under
President Nixon, with the change we could have under Senator
McGovern. Many already have. And they're among those saying
that America needs President Nixon—now more than ever.

President Nixon.
Now more than ever.

“No one has ever pulled that

‘The unit was considering the

Charges

' Against Division. Of
Youth For Stalling

ALBANY — The Civil Service Employees Assn, has filed

William Paccione; Douglas Bertholf; Joseph Fo:

an improper practice charge against the State of New York's
Division for Youth for refusing to meet with the CSEA ad
hoc committee formed to study “the per capita cost of

keeping a child in the institu-
tions operated by the Diviston
for Youth

The CSEA committee was
formed on Sept, 22, 1972, to
mudy these cosis and their im-
Pact on employees — espectial-

@ ty tayorts of institutional person-
nel by the Division for Youth.
According to Paul Burch, col-
lective negotiating specialist for
CSEA, ‘or over @ year we
have been told by Director Mil-
ton Luger of the Division for
Youth that the cost of keeping
@ child on campus for a year
was approximately $20,000. This
ost was quoted to localities as
well.” The cost was Judged pro-

@ hibitive by many of the locall-
tles, who share 50 percent of
the operating expenses with the
State. Tt was in order to re-
duce this overhead that the lay-~
offs were instituted,

The CSEA ad hoc commit-
tee has come up with substanti-
ally different figures on the
on-campus costs, “It was to dis-
Quss this difference,” sald Burch,

“that a meeting was arranged
with the Division for Youth.”

On Oct. 10, 1972, Burch con-
tacted Robert Kennedy of the
Division for Youth and set up
@ meeting with the committee
for Oct, 26, 1972

Refused to Meet

When Burch and the mem-
bers of the committee arrived
at the Division for Youth head-
quarters at 2 University Place
in Albany on Oct. 26, represen-
tatives for the Division refused
to meet with them.

Burch sald this about the Di-
vision for Youth's failure to see
the CSEA committee; “The rea-
son they refused to meet with
us was that there ls a basis in
fact that the costs are inflated
and that there was validity to
our claim that they should be
about half of that figure. I feel
that % is Luger's role to close
the institutions, He'll make costs
30 prohibitive that the Legisla-

ture will have te shut them
down,”

Change In State
Housing Policy
Attacked By CSEA

ALBANY—An improper prac-
tice charge has been filed by the
Civil Service Employees Assn.,
with the tate Public Employ-
ment Relations Board against
the State of New York as a re-
sult of the State's decision to
charge rent for housing that was
previously free for several hun-
dred State employees in various
State agencies, ranging from the
Office of Parks and Recreation
to the Division of Youth.

CSEA claims that this action
is “a change in the State's hous-
ing policy and should have been
negotiated with CSEA, the union
which represents the affected
State employees, before the rent-
al rates were established and
deducted from the affected em-
ployees’ paychecks without thelr
authorization.”

CSEA 1s seeking to have the
rentals eliminated until the State
negotiates this “change of con-
ditions of employment.”

7 Mental Hygiene
Aides Assured Of
Transfer They Want

SYRACUSE — Through the
efforts of the Clvil Service

ployees of the State Depart-
ment of Mental Hyglene have
been assured that they will be
transferred from Maroy Clinic to
Hutchingson when the Marcy
Catchmen area Is moved to the
Syracuse {nstitution,

‘These seven members of the
Syracuse chapter of CSEA ap-
pealed to the central staff for
help through their chapter pres-
ident, Richard Cleary, when they
were informed that thelr jobs
were being phased out due to
the moving of the Catchmen
area. They had all applied for
Jobs with the new unit, but
were unable to get a firm answer
as to whether or not they would
be hired, According to Cleary,
“Maroy would not relingulsh the

ers) would have to commute

Thruway Unit I
Contract OK'd

ALBANY — Civil Service Employees Assn. members In
the New York State Thruway bargaining Unit I elected
last week to accept the proposed contract between the Civil
Service Employees Assn, and the Thruway Authority, cov-

ering the period from July 1,
1972, through June 30, 1974, by
& vote of 450 to 353.

This agreement affects main-
tenance, clerical and toll colleo-
tion workers, The vote ratifies,
among other items, a one-year
pay raise of 4 percent effective
immediately and retroactive to
April 1, 1972. The second year's
increase of 64% percent becomes
effective on July 1, 1973. The
contract also clears up contract
language, expands employees’
organizational rights, and re-
vises the grievance procedure.

‘The terms of the contract are
the result of over 10 months of
collective negotiations between
the CSEA negotiating commit-
tee and the Thruway Authority.

Out of a total of 1,587 eligible
votes, 1,016 were received. “Yes”
ballots totaled 450 and “No” bal-
lots totaled 353, 210 ballots were
declared void and three ballots
were challenged.

Ballots are declared void if
they do not bear elther the

sender’s name or soctal security
number on the back of the re-
turn envelope. This name or
number is used only to assure
the balloting committee of the
eligibility of the voter, These
envelopes are discarded before
the votes are counted, thus guar-
anteeing the anonimity of the
voters.

ed of James Ingles, chairman,

On the Noy, 1 following attainment of 3944 years of age the

coverage. The increased payroll deductions for these rate adjust-
ments are made effective on the first payroll period ending on or

CSEA negotiated with the insurance company a reduction of
premiums for people under age 3944, which reduction the employees
enjoy up to that particular age.
Supplemental Life Insurance

Under the CSEA supplemental life insurance plan, starting
at age 30 the cost of the insurance increases each five years in
accordance with the following table, which shows premium rates
per $5,000 amount of insurance issued to the member, These par-

PERB Self-Destructs

LMOST every week, the State Public Employment Re-
lations Board gives new evidence that—whether it
knows !t or—that PERB 1s getting ready to “self-destruct.”
This agency was created to conduct, impartially, dis-
putes arising between civil servants and their public em-
ployers. To preserve the image of impartiality, there can
never be any sign of favoring one side or the other or
being subject to outside pressures, political or otherwise,
In a matter of a few weeks, PERB has shown that
its role as an impartial arbitrator is mere paper, not fact.

Using lengthy arguments, which were released to the
public press, PERB explained tn great detall why voting
for union representation tn two State units, now repre-
sented by the Civil Service Employes Assn, should be
conducted by mail ballot. A few days later, amid rumor
that pressure was being applied to obtain on-site voting
im State institutions, lo and behold! PERB suddenly found
several reasons why its original ruling was not the fatrest
for the State workers concerned.

Phooey! No one in this State believes for a single
moment that the reversal was due to second thoughts
and not political pressure, Ergo, PERB ts no longer an un-
touchable arbitrator and can no longer inspire the faith
in civil service necessary to justify the Board's existence.

In essence, action must be taken during the next
session of the Legislature to find a new and reliable road

t impartial labor relations. PERB has, indeed, self-de-
structed,

to college to continue to get your
monthly payments after you're 18,

wie and enrolled as « full-time

lal security offices to be certain
the trade achool you're planning
to attend meets this qualification,

™ soon As you remarry,

the prolonged, persistent effort
by state officials to impose Tay-
Jor Law penalties on CSEA mem-
bers who allegedly participated
in whatever events may or may
not have taken place last Easter.
‘The crass insensitivity of these
Officials 1s underscored by their
insistence upon levying those
Penalties, without according to
the CSEA members involved, the
elementary protections of due
Process, Further evidence of this
insenaitivity include the PERB
reversal of its own ruling re-
specting on-site voting in a rep-
resentation election and the at-
tempt to impose parking fees on
state employees, without consul-
tation with CSEA,

‘These, and countless other
such incidents that are all too
familiar to CSEA members, sug-
gest an imperative need for a
substantial revision of the Taylor
Law to establish equality on both
sides of the bargaining table.
Such a revision deserves top
priority in the CSEA legislative
program. In addition CSEA
members will have to gird them-
selves to defeat legislative pro-
posals which are calculated to
destroy rights won over the years
by civil service employees,

The Battleground

The Legislature will become
the battleground for civil service
legislation that may affect the
lives and careers of public em-
ployees at all levels of govern-
ment. Attacks on employee gains
will come from all sources. The
legislative committee on Public
Employee Pension and Retire-
ment Systems is scheduled to
make its report shortly, at a
time when the Fleischmann
Committee on Education, the
Citivens Budget Commission and
other taxpayers’ groups, are
busy grinding out reams of press
releases complaining that pen-
sion rights are overly generous,

Various public agencies are
seeking to fence out of the bar-
gaining table such significant
matters as employee work loads,
manning tables, classification,
assignments and other matters
of vital import to the public
employee, If the Legislature sub-
mits to pressures from these
sources, then bargaining with re-
spect to working conditions will
be sacrificed on the altar of
“management rights,”

Be Prepared

It will make very little differ-
ence whether the Republicans or
Democrats control the Legisla-
ture, although all signs suggest
that Republicans will retain con-
trol. Political control of the Leg-
islature is irrelevant from this
point of view because CSEA has
friends and opponents on both
aides of the political aisle, This
4s clearly indicated by the polit-
foal action taken by CSEA in en-
dorsing both Republican and
Democratic candidates for the
Legislature.

‘The next legislative session will
be a critical one for elyil service
employees. There ls no time to
jose in preparing for the tough
days that le ahead.

P.C., and chairman ef the Nassau County Bar Association Laber
Law Committee.

Local Residency

In an action brought by the Binghamton Public Library
unit of Broome County chapter of the CSEA against the City
of Binghamton in the Broome County Supreme Court, the
plaintiffs sought a declaratory judgment determining their
status as employees of the Binghamton Public Library. In
addition to the City of Binghamton, the defendants were
the Binghamton Civil Service Commission and the Trustees
of the Public Library.

It was the position of the City and the Civil Service
Commission that the individual plaintiffs are employees of

the City rather than employees of the Library. The reason for eo

the dispute was that certain employees in the Library did
not live within the City limits of Binghamton, and the in-
dividual employees sought a determination that since they
were not City employees, they were not subject to a local
law requiring certain officers and employees of the City to
reside within the City limits. The residency requirement
had been waived by the Civil Service Commission. However,
in January, the Commission notified department heads in
the City government, as well as the director of the Public
Library, that the Commissioner would not grant waivers any
longer as a matter of policy unless It could be conclusive
iy proved that employees who were not residents could not
be replaced by residents of the City.

SECTION 13 of the Supplement City Charter states in
part that no person shall be eligible for appointment as @
City employee unless at the time of his appointment he is
a bona fide resident of the City, and whenever he ceases
to be a resident, his position 1s deemed vacant. However,
the municipal civil service commission has the power to
waive residence requirements under certain specifically
enumerated circumstances.

The issue before the court was whether the seven In-
dividual plaintiffs who work in the Public Library are em-
ployees of the City so that they are required to maintain
residence within the City limits, or whether the Public
Library is a separate public corporate entity which does
not fall within the residency requirements of the Supple-
mental City Charter.

Under the Education Law, the Regents of the Univer-
sity of the State of New York granted the Binghamton
Public Library a charter in 1902, thus creating a publi¢e
corporation without taxing authority. The Library is, there-
fore a corporate entity separate and apart from the City of
Binghamton and is not a department or a part of the
City government. Public Libraries are managed by Trus-
tees empowered to appoint and fire employees and fix
their salaries. The City of Binghamton conceded that the
Library Trustees have the power and authority to negoti-
ate labor agreements with representatives of the Library’s
employees, Furthermore, the Library 1s autonomous in its
day-to-day operations which include the duties, assign-
ments and utilization of personnel,

THE DEFENDANTS argued that the Binghamton Pub-
Me Library unit is part of the Broome County chapter of
the CSEA and 1s included within the collective bargaining
agreement covering the City employees; Library personnel
are paid through the City payroll; the buildings occupied
by the Library are owned by the City; Library funds are
provided from taxes collected from the City and other rev
enues from outside sources. The City continued its argu-
ment by stating that since the plaintiffs have not denied
or renounced any of their benefits under the collective
bargaining agreement between the City and CSEA, then
they must necessarily be subject to the rules and con-
ditions of employment applicable to other employees of
the City, and specifically, are bound by the residency re-
quirements,

‘The court held that a falr reading of the statutory
provisions “leads to the conclusion that thereunder a
municipality is the tax levying agency for and responsi-
ble for the fiscal support of a public library it is instra-
mental in creating. This responsibility 1s necessarily the

City's as the chartered libraries have no tax powers, @

Editor, The Leader:

‘The action of the executive
board of the New York City
chapter, Civil Service Employees
Assn., as reported in Inst week's

@ Leader, endorsing the candidacy
of Richard Nixon is incredible,

} and one wonders whether it re-
fects truly the wishes of its
members, As a past president of
the Metropolitan New York Con-
ference, I find it unthinkable
that any chapter in this area
with tts tradition of lMberaliam
would even entertain the idea,

Mr, Bendet's argument tn his
support of Nixon: “That the Gov-
ermor 1s Nixon's campaign man-
ager In New York State, and
that we negotiated a good con-
tract with the Governor's peo-
ple” Is, to say the least, specious,
View that statement in light of
the policies of a Governor who
forced a job action by State em-
ployees over last Easter weck-
end.

Further, the record of the Nix-
on Administration has been one
@ot insensitivity to the needs of
labor, and to the aspirations of
minorities, over 90 percent of
whom voted against Nixon-
Agnew in ‘68. The Nixon en-
dorsement by the executive board
of the New York City chapter,
therefore, 1s an act contrary to
reality and is a “slap in the
face” to thousands of members
of the Civil Service Employees
Assn, Bear in mind, also, that
scores of AFL-CIO affiliates have
Tejected Mr. Meany’s “neutrality”

CIVIL SERVICE LEADER, Tuesday, October 31, 1972

Binghamton Chapter Interviews Mohawk Valley Chapters
Candidates On Labor Issues

(From Leader Correspondent)

BINGHAMTON — The Binghamton chapter, Civil Service Employees Assn., utilized
its annual fall meeting program Thursday night to bring the concept of political action
to life for the some 250 chapter members attending.

The special program, organized by chapter political action committee chairman Don

Hinckley, brought together the
candidates and incumbents seek~
ing seats in the 123rd and 124th
Assembly Districts and the
State's 47th Senatorial District
to present their views on a num-
ber of issues of interest to those
Present, including the State's
Taylor Law, out-of-title work,
and pension and retirement sys-
tem changes.

Among those speaking were
Senator Warren Anderson (Bing-
hamton), chairman of the Sen-
ate Pinance Committee, and his
opponent, Democrat John Cheey-
ers; 124th District Assemblyman
Prancis Boland (R-Binghamton),
and his opponent, Democrat John
Young; and three candidates for
the 128rd District Assembly seat
vacated by Endicott Republican
Kenneth Leasure, who decided
not t seck re-election. The
123rd District candidates in-
cluded Maurice Battist!, Repub-
Mean and legislative aide of
Leasure, Democrat James Mo~-
Cabe, Mayor of the Village of
Johnson City, and Conservative
Brigham Thompson. Also speak-
fn@ was Broome County Demo-
eratic Commission Chairman
‘Thomas Conlon. County GOP
Richard Kuhnen, who was also
Invited to address the gathering,
could not appear due to a pre-
vious commitment elsewhere,

One-Sided Law

In his remarks to those as-
eembled, Chapter Political Ac-
tion Committee Chairman Hinck~-
Jey oald that he was “dedicated
‘0 the abolition or amendment”
of the state's Taylor Law in its
Present form, “The law as it
stands,” he said, “is both inef-
fective and unworkable.

‘Under this law, Hinckley point-
ed out, “only the employee is
forced to bear the brunt of the
employer's failure to bargain by
suffering severe penalties in the
event of a last-resort walkout,
The views of those present on
the Taylor Law and other mat-
ters of interest to us,” he con-
eluded, “is reason for our be-
ing here tonight.”

Commenting on the Taylor
Law itself, Senator Warren An-
dergon said he would be “the
last one to pretend it's perfect.”
Anderson added, however, that
“if the Taylor Law 4s eliminated,
eomething must replace it, and
that something must end up in
® bilateral agreement. The Tay-
lor Law,” he said, “is not carved
into stone anyplace,” and, he
edded, “it Is being continuously
amended.”

Retirement inequities

On the state's retirement sya-
tem, Anderson characterized i
@s one of the best In force in
either the public or private sec-
tors “There are inequities,” he
said, "and these inequities are
being studied now." Anderson,
turning t the out-of-title Issue,
sald that “state employees’ ap-
Prehension over the productivity
sections in the new contract
are,” as he put it, “misplaced.”
Anderson said the agreement was
approved by both sides after
lengihy negotiations and care-
ful study, "What increased gaina
fm productivity that may be with-
in the new contract are to be
shared by the employees.” Ander-
fon did not feel the employers

should be “overly concerned” In
this area,

Assemblyman Francis Boland,
in his remarks, said he felt “The
Taylor Law has helped bring the
state’s relationship with the
CSEA closer in terms of goals
on an everyday basis.” Boland,
echoing Senator Anderson's re-
marks, said, “The Taylor Law is
being revised almost continu-
ously, we hope, for the bet-
ter," Boland added, “We've made
tremendous gains in amending
the Taylor Law and tn improv-
ing pension and retirement sys-
tem benefits.”

Anderson's opponent, political
newoomer John Cheevers, used
the forum to attack the Sena-
tor’s past record. Cheevers asked
the audience, “How many of you
get a ‘lulu?’ How many of you
get a half-paild pension after
20 years?” Cheevers added that
“when the ‘lulu’ was raised from
$3,000 to $5,000, it was Senator
Anderson who voted for it. It
wasn't the Republicans, but Sen-
ater Anderson who lined up with
the New York City Democrats,
that's whol”

“Let's make changes,” Cheevers
said, “where they are needed, for
the benefit of people not the
“where are cults made? Not in
buildings like the South Mall, or

powers, When the state runs
into budget problems,” he added,
in high-priced art work for those
buildings, or by reducing chauf-
feured limousines or by cutting
needless upper echelon positions.
No!” he deciared, “The cuts are
always made in the vital per-
sonnel services!"
Legislative Reforms

Boland's opponent, John
Young, contended from the podi-
um that “legislative leaders have
immense power and they abuse
that power dally. It is this legis-
‘ative abuse that must be stop-
ped by legislative reforms and
M not, those in power shall be
voted out.”

Young utilized the time allot~
ted to him to answer questions
forwarded to all candidates by a
local newspaper on a wide as-
sortment of issues. Reading each
of the questions submitted from
& copy of the paper, Young re-
sponded by rebutting the ans-
wers submitted to the paper by
Assemblyman Boland, compar-
ing those answers w his own
position.

Following the formal state-
ments by each of those inyited
to speak, program chairman
Hinckley opened the floor for
questioning. One somewhat heat-
ed exchange erupted when CSEA

Take Coordinated Action
In Making Endorsements

(From Leader Correspondent)

UTICA — A joint political action committee representing
Civil Service Employees Assn, chapters with a total mem-
bership of about 10,000 in the Utica-Rome/Herkimer-Onelda
Counties area of New York has endorsed several candidates

seeking state and federal offices
from the area, Roy Kotary, an
employee of Marcy State Hos-
pital and member of the Marcy

mittee,

Receiving the endorsement of
the area CSEA chapters are Wil-
Mam Sears, incumbent Assembly-
man from the 115th district,
which lies in Onelda County;

fieki representative Richard
Sroka took the opportunity to
question the candidates about
their views on the “agency shop”
concept advocated by the CSEA.

Sroka asked the candidates
specifically whether they would
approve of the levying of a fee
equalling membership dues
against non-member state em-
ployees who share, by state man-
date, in the benefits of CSEA
negotiations and representation
equal to the benefits afforded
dues-palying members

‘No’ To Agency Shop

Assemblyman Boland ques-
toned Sroka as to his employ-
ment position, then sought clarl-
fication of Sroka’s question
which the field representative
Patiently attempted to provide.

Niagara ‘Candidates Night’
Attended By Politicians

NIAGARA FALLS — A variety of answers were received when the Niagara County
Employees Assn. sponsored a “Candidates Night” recently

chapter of the Civil Service
and asked these questions:

* Would you sponsor and sup-
port legislation to amend section
209 (a) of the Civil Service Law
to provide that an employer
found guilty of interfering with
employee organizations’ rights
or refusing to negotiate in good
faith guilty of violation of the
‘Taylor Law and subject to pen-
alties in the form of fines and
mandatory injunctive relief in
the Supreme Court by the State
of New York?

© Would you sponsor and sup-
port legislation giving public
employees the “right to strike”
with reasonable safeguards for
“essential” services?

* Would you sponsor and sup-
port legislation repealing the
law relating to violations and
penalties by providing court re-
view hearings and appeal basic
to due process before guilt is
determined?

* Would you sponsor and sup-
port legislation to provide for
agency ahop for certified em-
pPloyees' organizations?

William M, Doyle, chapter

would work Stein said, “Take as
an example an employee retiring
from SG14, with a salary of $12,-
000 and a retirement allowance
of $7,000. The next year the sal-
ary of SG14 ts increased by 10
percent to $13,000. The retired
employee's retirement allowance
would then be increased by 10
percent to $7,700.

The Assemblyman declared,
“This legislation is long overdue.
We should not expect public em-
ployees to be locked into fixed
incomes when inflation pushes
prices and wages up. The higher
costs which mandate salary rises
for the workers must also be
borne by those in retirement,
and our legislation should reflect
this reality.”

tive April 1, 1973.

In Law At Central Conf

(Continued from Page 16)

© Provision for agency shop
— so that non-union members
“should pay some of the freight.”

© Penalties against employ-
era for negotiating In bad faith.

At the meeting of the Central
Couference County Workshop,
statewide second vice-president
A. Victor Costa told delegates
that Dr, Wenal had pledged to
follow the changes In the CSEA
Constitution and By-Laws as
adopted by CSEA delegates in
statewlde meetings.

Negotiating Committees

Speaking as chairman of the
restructuring committee, Costa
sald that one of the major
commitments is that negotiating
committees will be appointed
on recommendation of the chap-
ters, On this, Costa said, Dr.
Wenzl has pledged to follow these
guidelines “as best as he can.”

Costa also said that Dr. Wenz)
will ask for @ year extension
for the restructuring committee's
life in order to hold seminars
and to see that the new rules
are properly being implement
ed and understood. He sald the
committee will also be review-
ing the workability of ube regul-
ations as they now stand, in
order to possibly develop addl-
tonal amendments to clarify
and improve situations.

Conference president Peashey
announced that the Central Con-
ference will be broken down
into three regions for seminars
on restructuring. These will be
in Watertown under the su-
pervision of Eleanor Percy, Bing-
hamton under Stanley Yaney
and Syracuse. The Watertown
and Binghamton meetings will
be areawide, while the one in
Syracuse will be incorporated
as part of the next Central Con-
ference maeting.

Represeatation Elections

On discrasion of the upcoming
representation elections in the
Instituthnal and in tpe Pro-
fession.l - Scientific - Technical
Unita Costa proclaimed that
“We must win by overwhelm-
ing majority, not just by a siim
oargin.”

William Deck, president of
Marcy State Hospital chapter,
warned delegates not to mix po-
Utteal action for the upcom-
ing Nov. 7 elections of federal,
state and local candidates with
the representation election set
for Nov, 20, “The two elections
must be kept separate,” he cau~
toned.

Deck also presented the Con-
ference Welfare Pund report, ac-

cepting on the spot a $200 dona-
tion from Jefferson County chap-
ter that brought the Conference
total to $5,229.68, This Fund ts
separate from that of the state-
wide Employees Association.

Florence Drew, reading much
of her report from The Leader,
brought delegates up to date on
activities of the Retirees com-
mittee. Pat Crandall presented
as lengthy report on SUNY prob-
lems.

Dolan Asks Support

At the County Workshop meet-
ing preceding the full Confer-
ence meeting, CSEA director of
local government affairs Joseph
Dolan told County delegates that
“We must support our fellow
members in the State units
during the upcoming represen-
tation election.”

Dolan pointed out that the
State had supported the Coun-
ties when {t was beneficial to
the Counties. Therefore, the
Counties must give thelr support
to the State chapters when they
were needed.

“When we win this election,”
he said, “any other union from
the private sector will be loathe
to come in here again.”

In other Conference action,
two new chapters were admit-
ted to membership: Syracuse
Area Armories and Rome State
School for the Deaf.

tened all employees with
mination if they attended this
informational meeting.”

CSEA also claims that OTB
is attempting to harass an em-
ployee, Anthony Guerriero, for
union activities, Guerrtero, a self-
employed barber, has previously
worked the morning shift In the
OTB system allowing him to
continue his own business in
the afternoons.

On Oct. 20, Guerriero was told
to report t the afternoon shift
on Monday, Guerriero spoke to
Falcone concerning this change
and Falcone reportedly told
Guerricro that it was as a re-
sult of his union activity. He
said, “I don’t want you or Mr,
Briggs (CSEA field representa-
tive) or the CSEA anywhere
around here.”

CSEA has filed for an imme-
diate formal hearing before
PERB “in order to protect OTB
employees from further threats.”

meaning that Mohawk Valley has
at least 5,000 CSEA members
who are taking an active inter-
est in the proceedings of the
Joint Political Action Commit-
tee.
Not only did this question-
naire offer members an oppor-
tunity to express their personal
preferences among the candi-
dates, but it asked thelr opin-
fons on political action in gen-
eral. Most respondents agreed
Yes to CSEA Involvement in poll-
tieal action, to active support or
opposition to candidates and to
an interest in attending meetings
at which candidates would ap-

pear,

Ironically, but typically, there
were fewer people who expressed
an interest in actively working
for the election of individual
candidates.

‘The result was the endorse-
ment of three conservative Re-
publicans and two Hberal Demo~-
crates.

Windsor Signs
Two-Year Pact

WINDSOR — Members of
the Town of Windsor chap-
ter, Civil Service Employees
Assn., have announced the
formal signing of their new two-
year contract with the town.

CSEA fleld representative
Richard Sroka said the new
package includes a pay hike of
25 cents In 1973 and another 25-
cent increase tn 1974, the second
year of the agreement.

Other new provisions of the
agreement include the granting
of time-and-one-half pay to em-
ployees after 40 hours: an in-
crease from 60 to 90 days of
sick leave which may accrue to
an employee, and the addition
of Veterans Day as a paid holl-
day.

Sroka said all other provisions
and benefits in the present con-
tract will be carried over in the
new agreement.

Chapter president Donald
Quinn and Town officials offi-
clated at the formal signing
ceremony in the Town's highway
department offices. The negotia-
tions were begun in early Sep-
tember and proceeded without
any major difficulty according to
Sroka until an agreement was
reached that was mutually ac-
ceptable.

Patrick Lozito, director of

y Unites For Political Action

In arriving at the decisions,
several key issues wore consid-
ered: candidates’ views on the
Taylor Law, an agency shop, past
voting records and a willingness
to speak out publicly on these
issues.

“We didn’t go into areas where
the candidates did not cooper-
ate,” Kotary explained, “and
we only endorsed those who
wanted endorsement.”

In order to give support (since
public employees are prohibited
by law from making out-and-out
contributions from dues money),
Kotary lsted some dos and
don'ts.

Dos and Don'ts

Among the don'ts, Kotary
warned against turning over mail
‘Usts or using chapter dues mon-
ey for paid ads for particular
candidates. It is all right to urge
the public to vote, however,

© Take advantage of bulk-rate

phoning, having coffee klatches.

© Inviting candidates to meet-

On learning of Sroka’s status as
® staff member, | Boland sald,
“That makes a big difference.”

When challenged by a member
of the audience accusing Boland
of trying to stall in responding
to Sroka's question, Boland re-
torted sharply, “Don’t get abu-
sive with me, I'm still an elected
officlal and I'm not going to
take abuse from anyone!" Bo-
land then added, “In answer to

the question, NO!” Boland then
sat down abruptly,
Boland’s opponent, John

Young, the only other respond-
ent to the question then en-
gaged in « olassic exercise in
fence-stradding, declining to
commit himself elther way on
the question and utlilizing rhe-
torloal questioning of Sroka as «
non-committal tactic. Young did
indicate, however, that he could,
under the right circumstances,
approve of a maintenance fee
levy against non-members ben-
efitting by CSEA bargaining and
representation.

Following the brief question
and answer perlod, the member-
ship and guests then retired to
the buffet table for an evening
capped by dinner and dancing,

Meeting host Binghamton

Frie Probation Unit
Hits Use Of Students
To Do Officers’ Work

BUFFALO — The use of college students as “para-pro-
fessionals” in the pre-sentencing investigation normally done

by probation officers in Erie

County, has raised the tre

of members of the Erle County Probation Department unit

of the Civil Service Employees
Assn.

University of Buffalo students
(pre-law, social workers, work-
inz policemen and liberal arts
majors) who are enrolled in a
seminar course entitled “Com-
munity and the Administration
of Justice; Para-professional
Skills in Probation and Parole”
taught by County Court Judge
Joseph Mattina and George Ad-
off, an assistant professor of
criminal justice at Buffalo State
College, have been assigned to
Prepare in depth pre-sentence
reports on various defendants
convicted In County Court. The
reports are to contain an alter-
native to the sentence generally
suggested by the probation of-
ficers.

Adoff attempted to explain
this action by stating that in-
creased caseloads had placed ex-
tra pressure on probation officers
preparing the pre-sentence re-
ports and that such an overload
has caused the reports to become
“a sterile formalized document,
instead of a report that human-
izes the defendant.”

Judge Mattina has said that
“the students are giving me in
depth reports so that I am better
informed in sentencing,”

Hurts Professionals

James K. Brady, president of
the CSEA Probation Department
unit, however, says that Judge
Mattina’s actions and public
statement “have done a great
disservice to the dedicated pro-
fessional probation officers of
Erie County and to the Civil Ser-
vice System.”

Brady suggests that the use of
students to seek “alternatives” to
probation officer recommenda-
tions should be put in its proper
Perspective as an educational
tool. He sald, “The Courts do

Brady explained that most of

vestigation “could not even qual-
