CUT RIBBON FOR ULSTER COU

NTY CSEA OFFICE

With Civil Service Employees Assn. president William McGowan wielding scissors, officials of the
union and of Ulster County gather for ribbon-cutting ceremonies to open Ulster County Local 856 of-
fice. From left are Ulster County Legislature Chairman Ernest Gardner, Local 856 president Thomas
Phillips, CSEA executive vice-president Thomas McDonough, Mr, McGowan, CSEA vice-president and
Southern Region [I president James Lennon and Kingston Mayor Frank Koenig, Mr. Phillips said the

office, at 9 Elmendorf

Kingston, is “the realization of a long sought-after dream to service our 14

units and sections along with our thousands of members.” Among its facilities are a library with vol-
umes on Civil Service Law and the Taylor Law, 24-hour telephone service, meeting space and a work

area for field staff.

File Blackout Grievance

ALBANY—The Civil Service Employees Assn. has filed a class contract grievance
against the State Office of Employee Relations on behalf of thousands of New York City
area state employees who were forced by the State to charge their absences, during July’s
25-hour power blackout, to their own accrued leave credits.

According to Stephen Wiley, an
attorney with Roemer and Feath-
erstonhaugh, the union's law
firm, the grievance covers all
CSEA-represented state employ-
ees in New York City, Westches-
ter, Putnam and Nassau counties
who were absent from work on
July 14 during the massive power
failure which resulted in a loss
of lights, air-conditioning and

elevator service in all office
buildings in the area.

Despite Mayor Abraham
Beame's request that all New

York City metropolitan workers
stay home during the power out-
age, the State Office of Employee
Relations said state workers
forced to miss work because of
the blackout would have to use
personal, vacation or other ac-
cumulated leave time to cover
their absence. Those workers
who attempted to report to work

but were turned away by armed
security guards were also forced
to charge their absence to ac-
cruals.

Wiley said that the contract
grievance, which seeks a reversal
of the state's position requiring
that the time be charged to
lJeave credits, is based on the
CSEA’s interpretation of a con-
tract clause entitled “Absences

Extraordinary Circumstances"
which appears in all four of
the contracts that the union
has with the state.

Receipt of the grievance, which
is now at the fourth step of the
procedure, has been acknowl-
edged by OER. An arbitrator,
however, has not yet been chosen
by the parties.

“Because more than 30,000
workers will be affected by the

File Contracting Out Suit
Against Saratoga Springs

SARATOGA SPRINGS

The Saratoga Springs Non-

Teaching Employees unit of the Civil Service Employees
Assn. has filed a civil sult against Dr. B. Louis Christensen,
school superintendent, and the Board of Education of the

Saratoga Springs City School
District in Saratoga County Su-
preme Court,

‘The CSEA is charging that the
School Board acted “unlawfully,
arbitrarily, capriciously” to “oust
civil service employees from their

rightful civil service job positions
to circumvent the Constitution of
the State of New York and the
Civil Service Laws of New York
State.”

outcome of this grievance, the
arbitrator is surely the important
factor here. We have already re-
Jected OER’s choice of an arbi-
trator and we will not proceed
until we are satisfied that we
can have an impartial hearing
on this significant matter,” Mr.

Wiley said.

Some CSEA Members
Receive Less Than
Minimum Pay Boost

ALBANY—Retroactive pay increases went out earlier
this month to about 140,000 State employees represented
by the Civil Service Employees Assn, in the four major state
bargaining units, and now, says CSEA, complaints are be-

ginning to come in from indi-
viduals who received less than
the 5 percent or $500 minimum
initial increases negotiated.
The total affected probably will
be s€veral hundred, most of
whom were promoted since April
1 but got an increase based on
their March 31 salary.” We
warned the State they would
create big problems when they
switched their positions on sal-
ary schedules between the time
the tentative agreement had been
reached and when it was ratified
and finally signed. And now those
problems are definitely here, and
unless we can work out some
arrangement, it looks like we're
heading straight for a grievance
action to resolve it,” said CSEA
President William L. McGowan.
When the CSEA and the State
reached a tentative agreement
on April 17 after marathon bar-
gaining, thereby narrowly avert-
ing a statewide strike, both sides
announced a settlement calling
for raises of 14 percent or $1,400
minimum in three steps over the
life of the new contract, Shortly
after, however, the State took
@ position that it would strictly
adhere to the existing salary
schedule, which remained un-
changed, and the CSEA quickly
responded that was different than
what had been agreed to at the
table. The CSEA pointed out this
difference in a factsheet it sent

out with ratification ballots,
promising to file grievances and
take the issue to arbitration if
the State stuck to its suddenly
changed position,

The State never did change its
latest position, and when the
first 5 percent or minimum in-
creases retroactive to April 1
went out this month, most if not
all state workers promoted since
April 1 found out their raise was
less than expected. As soon as
the problems began coming in,
CSEA president McGowan ar-
ranged a work session with rep-
resentatives of the State Office
of Employee Relations (OER) to
try and work out a solution
Meetings were held last week
and again this week, but it ap-
pears that an agreement may
not be reached and the entire
issue will ultimately be resolved
through arbitration.

“CBEA agreed to a settlement
calling for everyone, and I em-
phasize everyone, recelving raises
totaling 14 percent with a min-
imum of $1,400. And we intend
to take this issue to the limit to
see that everyone, and I again
emphasize everyone, does get that
full raise as agreed to also by
the State at the bargaining
table," Mr. McGowan pledged.

Consequently, the CSEA 1s

Monroe County CSEA To Decide:
Fact-Finding Report Or Strike

ROCHESTER—The Monroe County Local of the Civil Service Employees Assn. will
decide this week whether to accept a delayed fact-finder's report or call @ strike vote

against the county.

Martin Koenig, president of the 4,000-member Local, scheduled the membership

meeting for the purpose of
the vote at 7:30 p.m., Aug, 17 jn
the Auditorium Theater, 875 E.
Main 8t., here.

The meeting was to have been
held last week, but Koenig said
it had to be postponed because
the fact-finder's report wasn’t
completed. He said it should be
ready this week.

‘The report will recommend a
settlement of the labor dispute
between the county and the
CSEA, The CSEA contract ex-
pired last January and both sides
have been at an impasse ever
since

Mr. Koenig said that if either
the county or the CSEA rejects
the report, he'll recommend &
strike to the Local members, If

either side rejects the report, it
would be up to the County Legis-
lature to impose a settlement.
The CSEA is demanding full
restoration of all pay lost be-
cause of the pay cuts county

Gov. Carey's plan to penalize state workers for missing work during
the blackout—July 13-14—is “inexcusable,” says State Sen. Owen

Johnson, above.

Blackout Penalty Plan
Opposition Is Growing;

Johnson Assai

ALBANY — State workers
fighting to prevent the Gov-
ernor from docking them for
missing work the day of the
July 13 blackout in the New York
area have gained a powerful ally.

State Senator Owen H. Johnson
says Gov. Hugh L. Carey’s plan
to penalize the workers is ‘in-
excusable” and urged the Gover-
nor to drop the idea.

“With the looting and chaotic
conditions the city was in during
the period, it would have only
added to the problems had com-
muters also swarmed there,” the
West Babylon legislator wrote

among other things in New York
City and Westchester County and
parts of Long Island and Putnam
County.

With jhe city virtually at a
standstill and widespread arson
and looting taking place and
most offices shut down, New
York City Mayor Abraham D.
Beame asked people working in
the city to stay home until order
was restored.

State officials, however, an-
nounced state workers who
stayed off their jobs that day
would lose the equivalent of a
day's pay in personal or vacation
time. The governor decision was
almost immediately challenged
by the Civil Service Employees
Assn., which claims it represents
140,000 state workers, 30,000 of
them who work in the blacked

union's law firm, Roemer and

ing @ class action sult to block

Lattimer Calls Prison Officials ‘Insensitive’

CHEEKTOWAGA — Robert
L. Lattimer, president of Re-
gion VI of the Civil Service
Employees Assn. charged
that state prison officials were
“insensitive” to the problems of
“civilian” workers at the Attica
Correctional Facility even after
the “tragic events of the past
week" and the resignation of a
half dozen female workers.

Mr. Lattimer, who made his
remarks at a press conference
held at the union’s Buffalo and
Rochester offices today sald that
the “callous attitude” towards
the workers extends to all areas
of the correctional system, “from
the top department wheels in Al-
bany to the cogs of the adminis-
tration at Attica and demon-
strates the department's attitude
of treating these workers and
their problems and programs
with “callous disregard” while
paying pious lip service to re-
form and rehabilitation.

Explaining that the CSEA rep-
resents the majority of the
workers during the daylight
hours engaged in servicing the
1,600 inmates as chaplains,
clerks, cooks, counselors, nurses,
teachers and performing main-
tenance and other chores, Mr
Lattimer said that it was time
that the public be made aware
of the nightmare faced by our
workers

Last Friday, a cook at the
prison, Nancy Vial, 49, of 29
Water Street, Attica, was found
dead in a meat cooler. Nathaniel
Wallace, Jr.. an inmate with a
history of rape convictions, has
been charged with murder by
the Wyoming County grand jury

As of noon Tuesday, Mr. Lat-
timer said “six women workers
had submitted resignations and
more would probably follow.”

One of the resigning women
had previously been subject to
an attempted assault.

“All this is happening there
and the administration, except
for fending off the press, has
done nothing,” Mr. Lattimer
continued. “The workers are
completely in the dark.”

He said there have been no
meetings between the prison and
union officials since Friday's
murder and that there have been
no steps taken to correct the sit-
uation.

Mr. Lattimer, apologizing for
the absence of Attica local offi-
cials who had been expected to
attend the news conference, said
that the officials did not appear,
pending advice of the union's at-
torneys on Correction Depart-
ment regulations which prohibit
employees’ from making com-
ments to the press.

“Another regulation in the
book of rules handed to each
worker requires that the superin-
tendent prepare an emergency
plan for the workers,” Mr, Lat-
timer continued, “Well the
workers have no such plan and
in fact their safety ts completely
disregarded.”

He also explained that “there
are no new employee orienta-
tions, the workers have no in-

structions on what to do in
emergencies.”
Regional supervisor, Lee L.

Frank, who also took part in
the news conferences, added that
while guards are briefed on the

prison situation as they report
for duty, “our people are left in
the dark.”

“This week, for instance, most
of our workers first heard of the
“incidents at Auburn and Napo-
noch from inmates who had been
listening to radios at lunch time,”
he said.

“There are no fire drills; safe-
ty meetings are held but syg-
gestions are ignored,” he con-
tinued, "The attitude is: A prison

Job is dangerous, so if you can't
take it, quit.”

‘This advice, he said, was given
to a clerk who complained that
she had to use a copying ma-
chine in the inmates’ law library
without security guards present
and where she was harassed by
inmates for “using thelr ma-
chine.”

In other cases, he said, the
only entrances to work areas are
through inmate areas, although

slight modifications could result
in safer access.

“The administration ignores it
all,” he concluded.

Mr. Lattimer, at the conclusion
of the Buffalo news conference,
announced that CSEA attorneys
had expressed “off the top of
the head” opinions that the de-
partmental rules prohibiting em-
ployee comments to media were
“unconstitutional” and that locai
officials could speak out.

Free CSEA Member Unhurt
During Napanoch Uprising

NAPANOCH—Among the 14 hostages held captive last week during disturbances at
the Eastern Correctional Facility here, was Civil Service Employees Assn. member Bill Mor-

gan, a plumber.

According to CSEA Region III field representative John Deyo, Mr. Morgan was

locked in a cell by inmates. Two
guards also held captive in the
same cell were apparently beaten,
but Mr, Morgan was not harmed
and was released several hours
earlier than the guards.

“He volunteered to stay and
have the guards released because
they needed medical attention,”
Mr. Deyo said. “However, the
inmates demanded that the
guards remain as hostages.”

Civilians were evacuated from
the prison when the problem de-
veloped. Mr. Morgan was work-
ing near where the incident oc-
curred, Legally all civilian em-
ployees could have been directed
to enter the facility to work,
however there would have been
no insurance coverage, Mr, Deyo
said.

Hauppauge Office Building
May Be Dangerous To Health

HAUUAUGE—Alarmed by increasing employee complaints that particles in the air
of the State Office Building here could be of a cancer-causing type of fiberglass, the Civil
Service Employees Assn. demanded last week that the State Department of Labor release
the findings of an air-quality survey conducted several months ago.

In a sharply-worded telegram
to the health services section of
the Labor Department, Ed Cleary,
CSEA Long Island regional field
supervisor, said, “We demand to
know the reason for the delay
in releasing the report when the
lives and health of state and
county employees could be at
stake to say nothing of their
peace of mind.”

Robert Pols, CSEA grievance

chairman for the Department of
Transportation Region 10 which
is housed in the office complex,
said that complaints about the
particles in the air have in-
creased in recent weeks. Employ-
ees are expressing fears that the
particles are of a carcinogenic
type of fiberglass. Robert Bycert,
building manager, said that the
building had been equipped with

fibeglass air filters but that they
had been replaced after the
CSEA complained of particles in
the air.

‘Two months ago, the health
services unit of the Department
of Labor, acting on further
CSEA grievances and complaints,
conducted an extensive air qual-
ity survey but have not released
the findings to date.

The CSEA telegram asked the
state to inform the union of
the findings of the report as
well as any corrective measures
that must be taken “to insure
the health and safety of the
building’s occupants.”

The State Office building has
been plagued with a series of
operational and structural prob-
Jems since it opened in the early
1970's. Earlier this year, the six-
story glass and steel facade of
the building collapsed at office
closing time, miraculously with-
out harming anyone, Air circula-
tion has been a constant source
of complaints by employees with
frequent air-conditioner failures
and lack of sufficient cooling, es-
pecially in the upper floors, say
occupants.

‘The CSEA recently won an ad-
mission from the state that the
building had problems in design
and air circulation which the
state had promised to correct.

Also evacuated during the dis-
turbances, according to Mr. Deyo,
were women guards. This action

problem resulting from the hir-

Discriminate: Bendet

MANHATTAN—Solomon Bendet, president of Metropolitan
Region II of the Civil Service Employees Assn., last week
called the state discriminatory in approving an improved
health plan for management confidential employees and

the elimination of the $50 de-
ductible for the Security Unit.
“The $5,000,000 negotiated into
the current CSEA contract for
improving benefits should be
applied to the union's dental
plan, which is extremely poor.
The state committed itself sev-
eral years ago to its improve-
ment,” Mr. Bendet sald.
According to Office of Em-
ployee Relations assistant direc-
tor Thomas Gibbs, an omnibus
salary bill passed by the legis-
lature this year which provided
funding for negotiated benefits
between the unions and manage-
ment, also included an approp-
riation for the improved man-
agement confidential dental plan.

The Department of Civil Ser-
vice health insurance section pre-
pared specifications which have
been sent to various insurers for
proposals, which the department
will evaluate and decide on, pos-
sibly within the month, Mr. Gibbs
said,

Contract-Out
In Saratoga

(Continued from Page 1)

Four charges are listed in the
action against the School Board:

—The School Board acted un-
lawfully in eliminating 61 per-
manent civil service employees of
the School District's Transporta-
tion Department and then con-
tracted out with private industry
to provide the same service.

~The Board violated the Gen-
eral Municipal Law when it failed
to advertise for bids correctly.

~The Board violated the Gen-
eral Municipal Law when it ac-
cepted the highest of the two
submitted bids, nearly $100,000
over the real low bid, when the
law requires the low bid.

The final charge alleges that
in order to guarantee the private
contract for the highest bidder,
the School Board knowingly ac-

SHORT TAKES

‘HE'S GOT TO GO"

A spokesman for the Laborers International Union, which rep-
resents mai] handlers, has called for the ouster of Postmaster Gen-
eral Benjamin F. Bailar. “He's got to go,” says James J. Alpenta
of Mr. Bailar. “His public statements provide more than enough
evidence that he is bent on making the postal service obsolete within
five years.”

SEX DISTINCTIONS IN FEDERAL POLICY TO BE REVIEWED

Stewart B. Oneglia will lead a task force that will review sex
discrimination codes in federal laws and regulations. The task force
will use computers to screen 4,000 sections of the U.S. Code for
such words as male, female, sex, son, daughter, support, marriage
and divorce. Mr. Ongelia said the study could produce recommen-
dations from the task force to “extend whatever treatment is ac-
corded one sex to both sexes if it provides a benefit, or to eliminate
@ provision if it is discriminatory.”

HIGHER RETIREMENT AGES FOR PRIVATE
BUSINESS AND GOVERNMENT WORKERS

A bill has passed by the House of Representatives Education
and Labor Committee which raises the minimum age at which workers
in private business can be forced to retire from 65 to 70. The bill
also completely eliminates mandatory retirement for federal work-
ers, and cuts from the 1967 Age Discrimination and Employment
Act an exception that allows labor union and management to write
contracts which force workers to retire before age 65.

STATE WORKFORCE GROWS; FEDERAL SHRINKS

There were 100,000 less federal civilian employees in
the last fiscal year than there were the year before. This
is in direct opposition to state and local governments, where
there were 100,000 more.

CETA TO IMPROVE BUFFALO ZOO

With money from the U.S. Comprehensive Employment and
Training Act, (CETA), Buffalo officials plan to hire 102 new workers
in August. The city will assign 23 of them to the zoo for clean-up
and renovation work.

FEDERAL HIRING FREEZE ENDS

government agencies will be able to start hiring immediately. There
are believed to be many job hopefuls, Nine thousand federal job

without pay. Then in September
1976, Mr. Abramovich would re-
sume teaching for a four-month
trial period. Then the school
principal would decide whether
the teacher would continue
working or be permanently dis-
charged.

‘The agreement also stipulated
that the principal's decision
would be “absolute, final and not
appealable anywhere at anytime”
by either Mr. Abramovich or the
school board. The teacher, at the
same time, agreed to waive “all
rights that he might have (un-
der the law) to challenge the
determination of (the principal)
as to his non-retention.”

But no sooner was Mr. Abramo-
vich fired upon a recommenda-
tion of the principal, then he
brought a lawsuit in Suffolk Su-
preme Court claiming he had not
been told that he was giving up
“statutory rights as a tenured
teacher and was permitting his
Property rights and statutory
rights as a tenured teacher to
be taken away without due pro-
cess of law at some future date.”

Judge Lazer rejected this argu-
ment, ruling that he had “full
knowledge of the consequences”
at the time he signed the agree-
ment. But he said the entire pro-
ceeding was illegal because Mr.
Abramovich could not waive his
tenure rights in advance.

Judge Lazer based his ruling
upon “significant public policy
factors involved in the tenure
laws.” He explained that the ten-
ure laws were designed to pro-
tect teachers against being ar-
bitrarily discharged by school
board.

And that ts exactly what hap-
pened to Mr. Abramovich, the
judge ruled. His waiver, even
though voluntarily, “was to ren-
der his tenure rights inoperative
to the extent that he could be
discharged without a hearing at
the whim of a school principal
at the end of @ specific period of
future service,”

Ironically, Judge Lazer noted,
Mr, Abramovich, after signing
the agreement, had less rights
than a probationary teacher, who
is entitled to know the reasons
for a dismissal and to reply to
them,

Women On The Line

S women continue their effort to gain equal opportunities

with men, two contrasting events occurred recently at
Attica Correctional Facility to mark the achievement there.

One event represents a high point, but the other is a
dubious distinction that may be, in the long run, more
meaningful.

In the first, Barbara E. Kinch, a 27-year veteran of
state service, became the first woman deputy superinten-
dent of a maximum security prison in this state,

During the same week, Nancy Vial, a cook, was found
dead in a cooler in the prison kitchen. The victim, one of
the few women at Attica to come into direct contact with
inmates there, may be the first female worker to be mur-
dered in a state penal institution

Attica is a man’s prison that became infamous in 1971
during the five-day riots that resulted in the deaths of 43
guards and inmates.

This is the first instance of a death at Attica since that
time, although there has been other trouble since three
women corrections officers were assigned to duties there,
and one was slashed within days of her arrival.

In a related event, at Napanoch Correctional Facility,
where riots took place last week, civilians and women guards
were evacuated from the prison when trouble broke out.

Here you have three isolated instances. Although each
happened within days of each other, took place in prisons
and have to do with women’s rights, entirely different morals
can be drawn from each by editorial writers.

© The deputy superintendent may have achieved the
highest position yet, but she is not truly in charge.

© The cook's death showed that women can have the
right to risk their lives in hazardous jobs if they want to.
We wonder though, if a man cook would have faced the
same risk.

© Men still react instinctively to protect the women and
children first, even when they are in uniform. In the Na-
panoch situation, manpower of the guards was reduced dur-
ing the riot because the correction persons were ordered out.

As women's rights movements and affirmative action
programs work to expand the role of women on our society,
events such as those mentioned above become controversial
touchstones.

We invite our readers to give us their views on the

subject. (M.O.B.)

Compromise Can
Be Step Toward
The Next Goals

Nothing remains station-
ary for very long. When
everything seems to be go-
ing right, you can bet there
will be some unwelcome problem
to disrupt the routine,

By the same rule, though, bad
times have their day and pass,
too.
Part of the human condition,
it would seem, is to solve one set
of problems so that we may bet-
ter cope with the next set of
challenges that face us ahead.

Compromise is necessarily an
integral way in which we pro-
ceed in our efforts to resolve
these problems. Sometimes we
may be very sure that we have
the ultimate solution to a given
problem, yet must be aware that
what may be right for one per-
son may be undesirable for an-
other.

Basically that is what politics
are about.

Advocates for differing view-
points all proceed with the goal
in mind of winning everyone
over to their view. The end re-
sult is usually a compromise, but
one that the majority of people
feel they can live with for awhile

+ OF at least long enough to
get used to before the next ef-
fort to change things.

During the past month, public
employees must have reacted
that they were finally getting a
few breaks after a long period
in which they had been asked
to accept more than their share
in the government's struggle to
stave off bankruptcy in New
York State and several of its
largest cities, most notably New
York City and Yonkers, with
Buffalo close behind.

The Agency Shop Bill was
signed into law by Governor
Carey to have non-union mem-
bers contribute their fair share
toward representation _costs;
state employees received their
paychecks with the new raises
they had achieved through ne-
gotiations by the Civil Service
Employees Assn, last April; the
New York City Patrolmen’s Ben-
evolent Assn. ratified an agree-
ment after two years of frustra-
tion and received assurances that
they would receive more than
what the contract called for in
order to match additional bene-
fits more recently won by the
City's Uniformed Sanitation-
men's Union,

All in all, it was beginning to
look like long-awaited relief was
finally arriving to bolster the
flagging spirits of the public em~
ployee work force.

But the wheel of life keeps
turning, and new problems con-
Unue to replace those that were
80 recently solved.

Some state employees who ac-
cepted promotions after April 1
this year found that their raises
were not as great as they might
have expected. A class action
suit is being filed by the Civil
Service Employees Assn. un be-
half of those state employees
who lost @ day's work because
of the blackout last month. Mon-
roe County employees are meet-
ing this week to decide whether
they will resort to a strike to
resolve the long-pending dispute
there which has even included as
much as 10 percent across-the-

Civil Service
Law & You

rt ‘x i= By RICHARD GABA
Mr. Gaba is a member of the New York Bar and Chairman
of the Nassau County Bar Association Labor Law Committee.

The Right To Unretire

Plaintiff commenced an action for a declaratory judg-
ment setting forth his rights in the New York State Em-
ployees’ Retirement System.

Plaintiff became a member of the system on Oct. 27,
1967, He left public employment and applied for retirement
in July 1971 under the 55-year retirement plan and was re-
tired on a pension of $250 per year. Plaintiff decided to re-
join the system on Jan. 1, 1974. In plaintiff's letter to the
system informing them of this move, he noted his “under-
standing” that since he had been a member prior to July
1, 1973, he would not be affected by the more restrictive
amendments to the retirement program.

The system reregistered him into active membership
but advised him that because his new registration date was
Jan. 1, 1974, his membership was governed by the new
amendment under which he would have to complete five
years of service after July 1, 1973, before retiring. Plaintiff
is contesting this determination on the ground that the
amended statute cannot constitutionally be applied to him
and is petitioning the court to declare the rights of the
parties.

The New York State Constitution provides that mem-
bership in a retirement system of the state or of a civil
division thereof shall be a contractual relationship. Article
V, Section 7 of the New York State Constitution states:
“After July 1, 1940, membership in any pension or retirement
system of the state or of a civil division thereof shall be a
contractual relationship, the benefits of which shall not be
diminished or impaired.”

Constitutional protection is thus afforded to one re-
joining the system after discontinuing service, because one
of the benefits that may not be impaired is the right of a
retired employee, upon being re-employed, to re-enter the
system under the same terms and with the same benefits
as those existing when he previously became a member.
In view of this, the narrow question before the court is:
What rights did plaintiff have under this contractual re-
lationship expressed in the Constitution when he joined
the system in 1967?

At that time, Section 101 of the Retirement and Social
Security Law provided, as it still does, that if a retired
member returns to active public service, his retirement al-
lowance shall cease, and he thus contributes to the system
as if he were a new member. Upon that reretirement, he is
credited with all member service earned since he last became
a@ member and from that his retirement allowance is com-
puted.

Plaintiff in this case had a constitutional right to re-

WHAT’S YOUR OPINION

By PAMELA CRAIG
QUESTION
There is a job lottery to fill about 200 New York City court officer po-
sitions because there is no available list, What is your opinion?

THE PLACE
Criminal Court, Manhattan

Danny Gallo, court officer: “I prefer the civil
service test as the basic criteria
for evaluating the job ap-
Plicants’ qualifications. To per-
form this job well, you need to
have common sense as well as
a sense for the judicial system.
I feel the test will weed out
those who lack those basic
qualities. We had a demonstra-
tion because we heard they
planned to hire strictly through
the lottery and without check-
ing into the applicants’ backgrounds. Now they
plan to pull more names than they need and
check into their backgrounds. I feel a lottery
undermines the importance of the civil service
an”

Joe Ranauro, court officer: “I feel the civil serv-
ice test should be given because
there Is a better quality of ap-
Plicants and because they are
capable of passing the exam,
‘The lottery is primarily luck.
I assume the administration
feels the lottery is a fairer way
of hiring. I personally feel that
it undermines the civil service
system. I don’t understand how
this lottery is not going to
prove to be incredibly expen-
sive if the administration plans to train and
uniform 200 men and later fire them after the
Office of Court Adminstration gives the test in
the fall.”

Tom Pizzo, court officer: “I do not believe they
should use a lottery to hire the
needed 200 men. I believe they
should be taken off a civil serv-
ice list, This form of hiring ts
not proper and is unfair to all
court officers who were hired
through the civil service sys-
tem, They plan to give a test
in a few months and I think
they should hold up the hiring
and proceed through the proper

. channels. There was a time

when we were more short-handed than we are

now, I fee] they should wait until the fall be-
cause the need is not as great.”

and there

may be groups of lousy appli-

cants, yet there will be a man

* chosen per group. I really feel

the quality of the selection will suffer under this
format of hiring. I feel it is unfair for a
provisional to take the exam, barely pass and
keep his job. This undermines the civil service
Dennis Gallager, court officer: “My opinion is

conduct interviews to determine

those best suited for the posi-

¥ tion. If you are lucky enough

to have pull, then there is room

for influencing the final decisions. I feel it is also

waste of money to train and buy uniforms for

200 officers and then fire them in four months
after the exam is given.”

Michael Tempesta, court officer: “I do not feel
that there should be a lottery.

‘The civil service exam should be

given. These positions are going

to be provisional until the court

& administration gives the civil

service exam in the fall. It's
m foolish to hire a group of tem-

P porary workers and then fire

them after they have been

trained, The administration had

planned to pull names out of

&@ basket and hire without a

background check, Now they plan to pull around
700 names and interview for the best applicant.”

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

Demands Action

Editor, The Leader:

At the recent Mental Hygiene
caucus at the Friar Tuck Inn,
the {ssue of members choosing
their own attorney was discussed,
‘This discussion took place during
the session on the CSEA legal
assistance program. The discus-
sion began to focus on the fact
that there are no black or minor-
ity attorneys within CSEA, Pur-
thermore, it was pointed out that
when the state and CSEA have
chosen arbitrators, none have
come from black or minority
backgrounds,

‘Tom Linden, CSEA state co-
ordinator for the legal assistance

tee, gave the representaitves a
fim commitment that they
would do all in their power to
immediately hire black and min-
ority lawyers to the legal staff.

ity arbitrators would be appoint-
ed at the earliest opportunity,

One delegate questioned the af-
firmative action plan in our
union.

After considerable discussion,
@ motion was introduced by Flor-
ine Allen from Pilgrim Psychiat-
ric Center and seconded by Ty-
ron Daniels of Willowbrook De-
velopmental Center. The essence
of that motion was as follows:

Be it moved that the board of
directors of the parent body of
CSEA integrate its legal firm
with non-white lawyers to assist
the minority members of CSEA
and that they include non-white
arbitrators in the Department of
Mental Hygiene, The board of
directors in the past has
thwarted the delegates’ efforts
and it is hoped that this time
they will honor the wishes of the
delegated body.

We demand that the CSEA
board of directors be responsive
to the needs of its membership
‘and move on this before the next
C8EA convention, thereby begin-
ning @ real (not token) affirma-
tive action plan of hiring in the
legal department.

Added Comment

Editor, The Leader:

I would appreciate your run-
ning this added comment (con-
cerning Leader interview, Aug. 5
jasue) since the bald statement
that I oppose affirmative action
could be misleading.

I do not favor quotas. But I
would remove all artificial bar-
riers to hiring minorities and in-
stall programs to help the dis-
advantaged.

1 favor affirmative action to

remove all no-show jobs and po-
litieal hacks from civil service
jobs and, if the jobs are neces-
sary, giving civil service people
a crack at them.

lationship set forth in the Con-
stitution required that upon re-
instatement following retirement,
he should contribute—and upon
retirement be pensioned—“as if
he were a new member.” The
rationale behind Article V, Sec-
tion 7 of the Constitution is to
uphold the benefits of this con-
tractual relationship. Therefore,
one must determine the benefits
accruing to plaintiff from the
contract itself.

On Oct, 27, 1967, plaintiff as-
sented to @ contractual arrange-
ment whereby his pension would
be computed at one rate on his
first retirement. However, this
did not preclude it from being
computed at another rate on his
second retirement subject to the
Legislature's changing of the
rate in the meantime,

As a result of this, plaintiff
does not have a contractual—
ergo Constitutional—right, upon
reretirement, to a pension at
the rate provided for on Oct. 27,
1967, However, the provisions of
Section 441(a) of the Retirement
and Social Security Law with re-
spect to the completion as a pre-
requisite to retirement of a mini-
mum of five years’ credited ser-
vice after July 1, 1973, are invalid
45 applied to plaintiff in this
case. The court found the term
of service provision to be unlike
the fluctuation of monetary ben-
efit plaintiff was to receive in
terms of the statute. The two-
year provision plaintiff was sub-
ject to when he entered the sys-
tem in 1967 is deemed fixed and
unconditional by the court. Mut-

Panelists were Arvis Chalmers, veteran Capito] Hill reporter and columnist for the

Albany Knickerbocker News and
also a television commentator
Paul Kyer, associate publisher of
The Leader, and Roger Cole
public relations director for the
Employees Association,

“No one knows more about
government than you people,”
Mr. Chalmers said, “and I can
think of no better way to use
that expertise than in the arena
of political action. If any group
can give solid evaluation of per-
formance in elected office, it is
you, The public cannot help but
admire a civil service union that
offers honest critical evaluations
of the politicians as public ser-
vants.”*

the noted journalist also urged
more civil servants to seek elec-
tive office. “Who has better ex-
perience than you?”

Mr. Chalmers also proposed
annual awards to public officials
who have performed outstanding
service. “It's another way of let-
ting the public know you have
the judgment values to comment
on the worthiness of perform-
ance in higher office.

The newsman gave advice on
how to get better coverage of
civil service events in the news
media, Knowledge of reporters’
deadlines was strongly stressed.
“If you miss that deadline, you
may miss entirely the chance to
get your story in,” he said.

Mr. Chalmers said that stories

WATERTOWN—The newly

According to Eleanor Percy,

Civil

groups with whom the union feels
it can take up specific causes,”
he declared

The civil service in New York
State received the most sympa-
thetic press in decades, particu-
larly for state employees, Mr.
Cole declared

“What pleased us most about
this,” said the CSEA public rela-
tions director, “was that we have
long claimed that we are not
only the best union for public
employees but also the most re-
sponsible one. The press agreed
with us that we had, indeed, be-
haved responsibly during the re-
cent fiscal crisis and that we
were entitled to a decent set-
tlement this year as a result. And
we got it!”

With the pressures of negotia-
tions out of the way, Mr. Cole
pledged that the matter of a bet-
ter public image would receive
& good deal of attention in the
coming year

During the question-and-ans-
wer session following the panel,

moderated by Celeste Rosen-
kranz, chairman of the CSEA
education committee, one pro-

posal made by Anthony Caglios-
ro, an employee of the Public
Employment Relations Board,
got the greatest reception

“The first and most basic step
in improving our public image,”
he declared, “is taking an intense
pride in the jobs we are doing
We can't expect the public to
like what we do if we don’t like
it ourselves.”

different counties. In this situa-
tion, the problem would be in
negotiating for people who work
for different public employers.

Although the problems were
evident to all delegates present,
the general feeling seemed to be
that they would like to have the
details worked out to provide
them with firmer plans by which
to proceed.

In any event, the discussion
pointed up the fact that although
the contractors may be private
firms, the money to pay them
comes from public funds, and
therefore, the workers may be
considered public employees.

On the other hand, as em-

provision of the Taylor Law, and
would be able to strike in a con-
tract dispute

Would Be Backbone

“They would be our backbone,”
one delegate commented

It was also pointed out that a
separate contract would be re-
quired for the contractor em-
ployees.

By no means, however, was
the popular sentiment in favor
of contracting out

Mr, Cropsey noted that in the
private sector, “the people are
working here, there and every-
where, so they never build up
pride in the job and rapport
with the kids.

Ratifies 2-Year Pact

By DEBORAH CASSIDY
SARATOGA—The 400-member Saratoga County unit of

the Civil Service Employees Assn

ratified a two-year con-

tract containing a $400 bonus in the first year and a $400

salary increase in the second

‘Talks were held up for nearly
a year in an attempt to obtain
the salary increases in the first
year and to convince the coutity
to reconsider several of its pro-
posals. After obtaining a major-
ity of their demands, members
were willing to settle the drawn-
out negotiations, a union spokes-
man said.

The CSEA was victorious in
obtaining a provision increasing
increments by $100 for salaries
that attain the top level origin-
ally stated in job contracts. Re-

ferring to this as a “rollover”
schedule, Danny Jinks, collective
bargaining specialist for the
CSEA, stated that it would help
lower-paid employees to increase
salaries in a shorter period of
time,

Also included in the contract
is imereased vacation and sick
time and a stricter layoff-recall
policy. Now paying the full cost
of employee health insurance
coverage, the county has agreed
to pay the full amount for re-
tirees also.

CSEA Wins $1,000 Overtime
For Schenectady Custodian

SCHENECTADY—The Schenectady City School District
has been ordered by arbitrator Mark Santer to pay Richard
Faraone, head custodian of the Central Park School, more
than $1,000 for 172 hours of overtime. These were hours Mr.

Paraone was willing to work in
compliance with the Civil Service
Employees Assn's. Local 847 con-
tract with the school, but hours
that the school refused to allow
Mr. Faraone to work.

John Cummings, CSEA field
representative, assigned to the
Schenectady area, explained the
situation: “The CSEA contract
specifically states that the cus-
todian-in-charge, if available, or

Broome County unit president Barbara Pickell and CSEA
director Thomas Bruno (Cattaraugus) are two of the
emerging next generation of CSEA leaders

achieving prominence.

@ qualified custodian shall be
present in a school building after
regular school hours or on week-
ends at such times a civic or
school activity takes place.”

From Oct. 1976 to June 1977,
the school administration ignored
this contractual agreement. The
administration kept using a
cleaner instead of the agreed-to
custodian.”

FIVE BUCKS SAYS
VOU CAN'T GET

TO JOIN
CSEA!

AND WE'LL PUT
OUR MONEY
WHERE

OUR MOUTH IS!

The CSEA new membership drive is in full swing and
now's the time for you to get off your duff and sign
up non-members. With each new member you bring
into the CSEA fold, you get five bucks cash! And
there's no limit to how many new members (at five
bucks each!) you can sign up.

But you've got even more than five bucks riding on
the CSEA membership drive. The blunt truth is that
the more public employees who belong to CSEA the
stronger we a// become. The opposition doesn't want
to see us united because they know that our strength
is in unity. With all of us on the same side we ail
will get the fair shake we deserve

J ‘

It's up to each one of us in CSEA to strongly impress
every non-member that our fight is also the fight of
every public employee in New York. And that if we
don't work together—as equal and participating
members — our future goals will be harder to reach.

So, if you're a member in good standing, get going
and sign up your fellow workers who are non-members
in CSEA. See your Chapter or Unit president for
special sign-up cards which have all the necessary
information. The five-dollar cash award is yours with
each new member you sign up but more importantly,
with every new member in CSEA, you are helping to
insure the future. For all of us

. stroke of luck

The two police officers spotted
& cream-colored Ford sedan
parked in front of a fire hydrant
@ block from the murder scene.
They wrote out a ticket, attach-
ing it to one of the car's wind-
shield wipers.

About this time, Ms. Moskowitz
and her date, Robert Violante,
also 20, were being fired on. Ms.
Moskowitz died in Kings County
Hospital several days after the
shooting. Mr. Violante survived
but may be blinded.

The July 31 shooting further
shocked and enraged New York-
ers. More detectives were thrown
into the Investigation. Many of
them were assigned to check on
traffic summonses handed out
in the Bensonhurst area the
night Ms. Moskowitz and Mr.
Violante were shot

This is when police, who up
until then, had been chasing
thousands of useless leads, finally
got lucky, Four days after the
July 31 shooting, a Brooklyn
woman, Cacilia Davis, reported
she had seen a cream colored
car in front of a fire hydrant—
with a parking ticket—and its
driver who answered the descrip-
tion of the elusive killer, They
checked summons records, found
the citation, checked the car's
ownership and went looking for
its owner who they found out-
side his apartment in Yonkers,
allegedly on his way to find
more victims,

* Contracting Out: Counties D

IVIL SERVICE LEADER, Friday, August 19, 1977

KERHONKSON—The question of whether it is permis-

sible to sign up employees of outside contractors

$ members

of the Civil Service Employees Assn. got a startling answer
from County Division chairman Salvatore Mogavero at the

recent statewide County Work-
shop at the Granit Hotel here.

Mr. Mogavero said that “re-
gardiess of who is working in
your school—even if by outside
contractors—do not hesitate to
sign them up.”

He explained that a recent
decision by the National Rela-
tions Board backed up this

opinion, although the Public Em-
ployment Relations Board point-
ed out that it is the NLR view
not theirs.

"It has already been done in
the Lakeland Central School Dis-
trict of Erle Educational Em-
ployees Local,” Mr. Mogavero
pointed out. This was done, he
said, after Western Region VI
supervisor Lee Prank wrote the
Office of Employee Relations
demanding a decision.

‘It's on the books
don’t hesitate," he said

Despite Mr. Mogavero's em-
phatic statement, however, the
matter was one that drew scep-
ticism by several delegates

County Division vice-chairman
Howard Cropsey provided fur-
ther explanation

Need 51 Percent

He pointed out that he has
a situation in his chapter where
there are about 50 outside work-
ers who want to go with the
CSEA. Their company provides
services to other organizations
besides that of the school district
so we would not be able to win
total representation rights
Collective bargaining specialist
Danny Jinks clarified the situa-
tion by explaining

‘If a majority of a company
workers are in the ‘ivate sector,
then don't bother. Private unions
don't have restrictions against
recruiting in the public sector,
but the CSEA constitution pro-
hibits going after private em-
ployees. That's why you need a
majority of public employees in
any potential unit."

Even in achieving 51 percent

concern, Cited as an additional
complication is the case of one
