FlaumenbaumW ithdrawal
Leaves 3 For President:
Wenzl, McDonough, Ross

ALBANY—After two months in which five contenders have been considered for the
presidency of the Civil Service Employees Assn., voters will be given the chance next month
to choose among incumbent Theodore C. Wenzl, Albany; executive vice-president Thomas
H. McDonough, Albany, and director Ethel Ross, New York City.

The latest change in the field
came with the announcement by
Irving Flaumenbaum that he
would decline the run for the
statewide office in order to con-
centrate his efforts on winning
re-election as president of the
Long Island Region 1

Mr. Flaumenbaum, as well
as Ms, Ross, had qualified to be
pheed on the ballot after peti-
tions were circulated in their
behalf.

An earlier contender, A. Victor
Costa, Amsterdam, had been se-
lected by the nominating com-
mittee, but withdrew in order to
petition for the executive vice-
presidency. He was successful in
gaining the necessary number of
signatures, and will face vice-
president William McGowan,

Campaigning would normally
have been in full swing by now,
except that the major candidates
have been attempting to avold
electioneering while the contract
between CSEA and the State has
remained unsettled.

Petitions were also successfully
cireulated by Delores Farrell as
@ candidate for Civil Service rep-
resentative to the State Execu-
tive Committee, and by James
Moore, candidate for re-election
as Syracuse Region 5 Mental Hy-
giene representative.

In Albany Region 4, Bileen
Salisbury was successful in get-
ting enough signatures to have

her name placed on the ballot as
& candidate for regional second
vice-president,

Maye Bull, president of Go-
wanda Psychiatric Center chap-
ter, has been disqualified as a
candidate for Western Region 6
Mental Hygiene representative,
because she {s retired. Six other
candidates are still competing for
the three regional positions.

Tn other campaign activity last
week, a drawing was held to
determine the order in which
candidates’ names will appear on
the ballot for CSEA’s Western
Region 6 elections.

Topping the ballot there will
be Robert Lattimer in the lead
position against Samuel Gross-

6% Wage Increase
Top Fact-Finder
Recommendations

ALBANY—A 6 percent across-the-board salary increase,
retention of salary increments, improvements in the state
disciplinary procedures, improvements in the state health
insurance program, and an agency shop have all been rec-

ommended by a 3-member fact-
finding panel appointed in the
contract dispute between the
Civil Service Employees Assn.
and the State of New York.

At Leader presstime, the 60
members of the CSEA negotia-
ting teams representing the four
state bargaining units involved
were about to meet here to re-
view the fact-finders' recommen-
dations, which were delivered to
both CSEA and the State on
Friday. The negotiating team
members were expected to de-
cid? whether to recommend ac-
ceptance or rejection of the re-
port to the full CSEA State
Division membership, which is
being polled this week to ascer-
tain the opinion of the majority
of the state membership.

“We think the negotiating
teams, which have been closest
to the bargaining talks right
along, and privy to substantial
detailed data and information
relative to CSEA’s demands, are
logically qualified to interpret
the recommendations and to
pass judgment on their merits,
said CSEA president Theodore C
Wenal. “However, being a demo-
cratic union that places great
faith and responsibility in the
hands of the individual members,
we will poll the State Division
membership to determine if
SEA should formally accept or
reject this fact-finding pro-
posal.” He noted that the union
will be mailing out mail ballots,
information on the fact-finders’
suggestions, and the recommen-

dations of the CSEA negotiating
teams to each state member.

An impasse in the contract
talks resulted in late March with
both sides far apart after nu-
merous bargaining —_sesslons
dating bick to late January.

Withdraw Challenge
To CSEA In Madison

SYRACUSE — At Leader
presstime, it was learned
that the American Federa-
tion of State, County and
Municipal Employees, Council 66,
has once again withdrawn from
@ representation election against
the Civil Service Employees
Assn., this time in Madison
County “after wasting nine
months of public employee time,”
according to Frank Martello,
CSEA regional field supervisor.

CSEA will now hold what's
considered an unnecessary white-
collar representation election, to
see if the unit wants to continue
OSEA affiliation.

The election is the result of a
blue- and white-collar split or-
dered by the Public Employment
Rehtions Board, at the insist-
ence of APSCME.

"APSCME Counell 66 has once
again wasted valuable public
employee time, Now CSEA can
gear up for Madison County
contract negotiations,” Mr. Mar-
tello raid.

OSHA Firings Condemned By CSEA

ALBANY — The Civil Ser-
vice Employees Assn. termed
the state's plan to fire nearly
400 Department of Labor
employees involved with health
and safety enforcement several
weeks earlier than anticipated,
“a drastic, dangerous and un-
warranted move,”

CSEA president Theodore C.
Weng! said that Carey Admin-
istration plans to fire 394 De-
partment of Labor employees in
mid-May “places the lives and
health of millions of New York
State residents in grave peril,
the gravest possible, for at least
one and one-half months and
probably for a substantial period

of time beyond.”

Notices informing the 304 em-
ployees they will be terminated
efective May 14 were mailed Jas
week by the State, according to
Dr. Wenal.

The firings, he said, stem from
an announcement Iast month by
Governor Carey that he would
relingulsh the State's enforce-
ment responsibilities for the Oc-
cupational Safety and Health Act
(OSHA) to the federal govern-
ment effective June 30.

“Now, instead of even allowing
the State's superior health and
safety enforcement program to
run to mid-year, the governor
abruptly decides to carry out his
purge as quickly as possible.

Deciding to give up the State’s
Participation in the first place
was @ very poor decision. Now to
fire the state's employees well
before the federal government is
prepared to take over, upgrades
the situation from very serious to
critical,” Dr, Wenzl said

Over the past few months, the
inspectors have mounted # lob-
bying effort among state legis-
lators in an effort to retain the
state’s OSHA enforcement role

One of the inspectors, Joseph
Ruggiert of the Labor Depart-
ment’s Manhattan office, was es-
pecially bitter about the pro-
posed layoffs,

“Te studied the propased
table of organization for the

new setup,” he said, “and who ts
going to be retained and who
ts going to be terminated. The
brass took very good care of
themselves but they wiped out
all the soldiers. The chiefs all
remain and, in addition, they've
created these new cockamanie
Jobs at high levels.

Mr. Ruggieri noted that it ap-
pears that of the approximately
30 supervising inspectors, only
about four will be retained; of
the approximately 60 assistant
supervising inspectors, only about
four will be retained.

Mr, Ruggieri has worked for
the department for 23 years.
“Although I'm going to get some

ALBANY SPOTLIGHT

(From Leader Correspondents)
There was good news and there was bad news for state
employees from Albany's Capitol Hill this past week.

At the outset, Governor Carey announced a settlement of
the Federal suit over custodial care of patients at Willow-
brook—which settlement had two principle points of agree-
ment:

(1) The patient population at the school will be greatly
reduced over a period of time, with as many patients as pos-
sible being transferred to local community facilities.

(2) The number of personnel at Willowbrook will be in-
creased and—it was at least implied, if not stated in so many
words—some of these employees will be upgraded. The final
aim is a ratio no greater than one-to-three of personnel to
patients,

On the gloomier side, and before the mediation panel
now considering the CSEA arguments for pay increases and
other benefits could even get going on its report, the Gov-
ernor sent a strongly worded message to the Legislature
in which he said flatly that there would be no additional
spending programs unless the lawmakers sent along new
tax bills to create additional revenue—an action which the
Senate, at least, has refused thus far to do. How these con-

“How can we logically represent
them?” he added.

“Nobody under that CETA
program should become a mem-
ber of ours,” added Salvatore
Mogavero, president of Erie Edu-
cational chapter. “How can we
battle this thing? If they're a
member of the union, how can I
be against this (CETA) thing?"

Wiliam McGowan, region
president, urged delegates at the
meeting in the Holiday Inn here
to disregard the extra revenue
new members might mean to
CSEA.

“We're going to kill ourselves

. if money is the reason we're
out of business,” he sald in ar-
guing for passage of the Lattimer
resolution, “We're out for dues,
but let's be honest,” he added,

Mr, Lattimer pointed out that
even state workers employed un-
der the program would have to
join county chapters since coun-
es dispense CETA funds. Some
employees hired under the anti-
unemployment measure have
been placed in public sector jobs.

“We don’t want them in our
union so they can be used to
jay off our people,” Mr. Me-
Gowan declared.

Fact-Finders’ Top:
6% Wage Increase

(Continued from Page 1)
Both aides in.early April agreed
to present the issues to a Public
Employment Relations - Board
(PERB)-sppointed fact-finding
Panel consisting of Maurice C.
Benewitz, chairman, John W.
McConnell and Jonas Silver.

In the all-important sainry
area, the final State offer on the
table at impasse was a one-time
jump sum payment of $250 ef-
fective July 1, with increments
payable also on July 1, a late
position change after the State
insisted on removing increments
entirely for much of the bar-
gaining period. The final salary
demand by CSEA at the time
was for a 15% percent hike plus
increments payable on April 1

Somewhat of a middle-of-the-
road recommendation in the sal-

~ary area, the fact-finders’ rec-

ommendation of 6 percent is sub-
stantially @bove the State's final
offer but considerably below
CSEA’s jast demand.

Following are the key recom-
mendations as submitted by the
3-member fact-finding panel,
and upon which CSEA State Di-
vision members will be asked to
state their opinion:

Salary and Increments

A 6 percent across-the-board
sahiry increase for employees
represented in the four bargain-
ing untts, effective April 1

Payment of presently sched-
uled incremental increases ef-
fective the payday closest after
July 1, 1975.

Maintenance of ths minimum
salary provisions providing $6,000
and $6,500 for an additional year
effective April 1.

Disciplinary Procedures

(The panel made 18 specific
recommendations in this area
Among them are:) Employees
served with notices of discipline
must receive two copies of the
notice, in person or by registered
mall. The executive director of
CBEA shall receive such notice
via registered mail.

Article 33.2 should be amended
to assure that representation
shall always be available to any
employee requesting it, and in-
terrogation must cease while a
good-faith effort is being made
to provide such representation
by CSEA.

Article 33.2¢ to be amended to
require that a statement may
not be requested of an employer
until a CSEA representative is

present If the employee asks for
such representation. Additionally,
no transcript or recording may
be taken without @ CSEA repre-
sentative present, if one ts re-
quested, during interrogation.

New language setting forth the
power of the arbitrator to modify
proposed penalties.

A modification in the disci-
plinary procedure where an em-
ployee has been suspended for
probable cause pursuant to Arti-
cle 33,4j, in that the employee
may. on the grievance form,
waive the department or agency
Jevel hearing. The American Ar-
bitration Association would be
directed to absolutely meet the
time limit for setting the first
arbitration hearing, and the ar-
bitrator would be directed to

render his award within five
days,
Health Insurance
(10 recommendations are

made, including:)

Increase the major medical
coverage to an annual maximum
of $15,000.

Hemodialysis be covered on an
out-patient basis under Blue
Cross; Surgical Consultation
program be extended to New
York City: transfer among
health insurance plan options be
allowed under certain conditions.

Unremarried spouse of a cov-
ered employee with at least 10
years of service may, after the
death of the employee, retain
coverage on the game basis as
while the employee was working.

Employee membership in
health maintenance organiza-
tions will be allowed with certain
qualifications,

A yearly routine physical ex-
amination for every covered em~
ployee 50 years of age or older
under Blue Cross coverage; Blue
Shield coverage for removal of
sutures, plaster casts, ete., result-
ing from out-patient care.

For employees added to the
payroll and covered by the State
Health Insurance Pian on or
after April 1, 1975, the right to
retain health insurance cover-
ages in retirement shal! be con-
ditioned upon completion of 10
years of State service.

McGowan Asks Veto Of New Body
To Deal With Mentally Retarded

BUFFALO—Acknowledging “there is merit of the measure,” William L, McGowan,
president of the Mental Hygiene Council, Civil Service Employees Assn., requested last
week that Gov. Hugh L, Carey veto legislation creating a new department to service the

mentally retarded.

Mr, McGowan added that he
encouraged chapter presidents at
75 Mental Hygiene facilities
around the state to take similar
action, because the legislation
passed by both the Senate and
Assembly this month posed a
threat to Mental Hygiene ser-

vice levels by-causing “a com-
petition for available funds be-
tween a new bureaucracy and
the service level.

“Such a separate department
at this time,” Mr. McGowan said
in his telegram, “would in’ fact

Mr, McGowan, an employee at

time its own director, deputy di-

“with all of them tking away

tually perform services for the

The Mental Hygiene Council,
Mr, MeGowan said, took a stand
in opposition to the legislation
because there ts enough compe-
tition for funds between the ad-
ministrative end service levels
now and a new department
would only lead to further losses
on the service level.

Call ‘Town Meeting’ In Wake
Of Goshen Center Escapes

GOSHEN—James J. Lennon, president of Civil Service Employees Assn., Southern Re-
gion 3, has called for a “good, old-fashioned town meeting” of public officials, local resi-
dents and employees of the Goshen Center for Boys, after the most recent escapes from
the center resulted In the deaths of two boys and the injuring of a CSEA member.

‘The center, a facility of the
Division for Youth, has been
plagued by more than 20 escapes
since March 1, Mr. Lennon s
he feels the solution les in the
hiring of more staff.

“The Juvenile population of
Goshen Center was 105 at the
time of the escapes last week
end," Mr. Lennon said. "The nm
mal population of the center Is
only 80-85. Here ts proof posi-
tive of the direct relationship
between staffing and security.”

State Senator Richard E
Schermerhorn and Assembly
member Jean Amatucci have al-
ready agreed to attend Lennon's
“town meeting,” Friday, May 2,
at 2:30 pam. at the Wawayanda

‘The people here have to worry

In the latest incident, four
youths assaulted CSHA member
Vince Simpson, a child-care
worker who was alone in charge
of 18 boys at the center Satur-
day night. The four took his car

Trade Center's Towers
Still Pose Fire Threat

MANHATTAN—"Most state workers are too blase about
fires," observed Gennaro Fischetti, safety committee chair-
man at the World Trade Center here and a Workmen's Com-
pensation Board employee himself, Mr. Fischetti was speak-

ing about fire dangers in the
soaring twin towers last week at
an occupational and safety
health class held for state work-
ers.

Mr, Fischetti told the group
timat the World Trade Center, as
a bi-state, N.Y.-N.J. agency, is
not under the jurisdiction of
any government agency for fire
or building inspection. Conse-
quently, the safety of the build-
ing is in question.

One problem that occurred in
& fire recently, in 2 World Trade
Center, had firefighters employ-
ing a three-year-old split hose
to work with, Mr. Pischetti said
that if the building were under
city ordinances, the New York
City Fire Department would make
regular inspections of such hoses.

Another such problem oc-
curred about a month ago in 4
fire in 1 World Trade Center
where the fire alarm connected
to the building's air conditioning
unit did not sound since the
blaze broke out after 10 pm.,
when the air conditioning unit
closed down. The fire was re-

Trade Center.

Another problem, Mr, Pisctiettt
reported, is that some stairwells
of the World Trade Centers go
through @ corridor before going
to the mezzanine, Upon inspec-
tion of corridor C in WTC 2, he
observed it strewn with garbage
and other junk “making it look
like an obstacle course.” ‘The
doors on the mezzanine floor
were locked, making It tmpos-
sible to escape from the mezza-
nine floor. The elevators let pas-
sengers off in the lobby

Mr. Fischetti added that in
order to get anything done about
any such problems in the World
Trade Center, a bill has to be
passed by both the New York
and New Jersey State Legisla-
tures,

While Nero Fiddles

HE voice of Cynthia Doyle, president of the Civil Service

Employees Assn.'s Public Services chapter, is the latest
to call for action in making World Trade Center Building
No. 2 safe for employees.

After two fires this month, in which arson was sus-
pected, Ms. Doyle said the people on the 24th floor of the
building were not even aware of the danger until they
smelled smoke.

Lights did not blink warning as they were supposed to,
and no other effort to notify employees was made, she said.
Smoke was so thick in the stairs that employees had to use
the elevators—and in normal circumstances the elevators
respond to heat and would therefore automatically ascend
to the floors on which the fires might be raging.

Before the building was ready for occupancy, CSEA New
York City chapter president Solomon Bendet had been issu-
ing warnings and meeting with City and State officials on
the problem. After occupancy, Mr. Bendet was joined in this
crusade by Thomas DiNatale, president of CSEA’s Housing
Authority chapter. Together, with Gennaro Fischetti as com-
mittee chairman, they have continued to press for improve-
ments in the safety conditions of the building.

They have met with some success, but each new fire
scare in the building indicates that much needs to be done.

Thousands of lives are at stake,

Full Disclosure

FFICIALS of the New York City Civil Service Retired

Employees Assn. have reason this week to say “I told
you so,” following disclosure that retirement checks are be-
ing mailed to deceased persons.

A couple of years ago the organization, which boasts
83,000 members, was rebuffed when it attempted to force
full disclosure of information pertaining to retirements.

For approximately 50 years prior, names, addresses and
other pertinent information about retirees had been printed
in the (New York) City Record. At that time, the retirement
program had been under the administration of the Board
of Estimate.

When responsibility was transferred to a new Board of
Trustees, the full disclosure practice was stopped on the
claim that it was an invasion of privacy.

Herbert Bauch, executive secretary of the CSREA or-
ganization, stated at the time that “We claim there is no
such thing as privacy when public money is involved. We
want to know who is getting what and how it is derived.”

While it is not certain that full disclosure would have
prevented the payments to the deceased retirees from being
made, it at least would have removed the grounds for sus-
picion that arise when such blunders surface,

Watch And Wait

HERE'S not much for state employees to do at this

point except to wait for their ballots to vote acceptance
or rejection of the fact-finders’ recommendations on the
contract dispute between the Civil Service Employees Assn.
and the Carey Administration.

Hopefully, the membership, in its collective wisdom, will
have had time to think about the dispute, and will be able
to decide whether it will be possible to reconcile the differ-
ences between what they want and what they can expect.

the potential abandonment of
uncompleted projects, but It also
raised long-range issues about
the credit of the state, and its
ability to borrow funds for other
purposes at reasonable interest
rates, All of the irsues raised by
the UDC fintncial difficulties are
by no means resolved, but it is
clear that the Governor now has
most of those problems on the
track towards resolution.

Accepted In Time

Early in the legislative session,
it appeared that the Democrat-
feally controlled Assembly and
the Republican controlled Sen-
ate would never agree on a bud-
ge: for the fiscal year beginning
April 1, However, at least a
semblance of a budget was
adopted in time for the State to
mest tts payroll and pay tts bills,

However, the fiteal crisis re-
mains as @ serious one confront-
ing the state administration.
Whether the budget is balanced
remains a matter of heated de-
bate between the Carey Admin-

istration and Senate Majority *

Leader Warren M. Anderson and
Senater John Marchi, chairman
of the Senate Finance Commit-
tse, The trouble is that even the
mos: sophisticated of computers
cannot predict the state of the
economy during the next 12
months. Consequently, estimates
of state revenues for the year
ehead are subject to highly per-
sonalized judgments.

Fiscal Crisis
The fiscal crisis Is proving to
be the toughest nut to crack, The
negotiations on the wage reopen-
er between the State Adminis-
tration and the Civil Service Em-
ployees Assn. have stalemated
over questions of availability of
state funds. The bargaining |s-
sues have since been submitted
to fact-finding and @ report is

expected momentarily.

Apart from new salary and
wage levels for state employees,
which are now in a cliff-hanger
stage, there is the further issue
of @ state program of retrench-
ment that threatens the’ jobs of
hundreds of civil service em-
ployees, The urgency of this
problem has been highlighted by
the budget crisls in the City of
New York. And what is happen-
ing in thet city ts following a
similar course in other local gov-
ernments, where the threat to

infusion will call for tax in-

Limits Of Bargaining

Employees of the City of Long Beach, N.Y. commenced
an Article 78 proceeding against the City Manager and other
City officials to enjoin the respondents from discharging
the petitioners as employees of the City. The respondents
moved to dismiss the petition on the ground that it failed
to state a cause of action. Although there were some defects
in the form of the proceeding, the court stated it would
pass on the application on the merits, since there was no
dispute as to the facts.

THE PETITIONERS were notified in late 1974 that their
services would be terminated on Jan. 3, 1975, They were not
brought up on any disciplinary charges, nor was that the
reason for the proposed discharge. There was no dispute
as to the fact that the petitioners were being discharged
solely and only because the positions which they occupied
were being abolished for economic reasons.

The petitioners argued that the collective bargaining
agreement in effect between the City and the Civil Service
Employees Assn. prohibited their dismissal, The contract
provided that employees employed prior to Dec. 1, 1972
would not be discharged except pursuant to Section 75 of
the Civil Service Law for the term of that particular agree-
ment, The agreement also specifically excluded economy or
abolition of a position as grounds for dismissal.

The respondents argued that those portions of the col-
lective agreement do not relate to terms or conditions of
employment and are beyond the municipality’s power to
contract and are therefore unenforceable.

THE COURT stated it was reluctant to strike down as
unenforceable a provision of a collective bargaining agree-
ment arrived at after arms-length negotiations. However,
the court felt there was no alternative in this case.

It was pointed out by the court that Section 204 of the
Civil Service Law empowers public employers to negotiate
collectively with employee organizations and to enter into
written agreements determining (‘terms and conditions of
employment.” It was held by the Court of Appeals in the
Huntington Teachers’ case that a public employer is re-
quired to negotiate with regard to a term and condition of
employment unless there is a statutory provision which pre-
vents him from doing so. Since the public employer’s power
to bargain collectively is limited to terms and conditions of
employment, the court in this case held that the public
employer may not lawfully bind itself in a collective bar-
gaining agreement with respect to items which are not
terms or conditions of employment.

THEREFORE, IN DISMISSING the petition, the court
held that the employer could not surrender its power to
abolish positions in good faith by agreeing in a collective
bargaining agreement not to abolish positions. Application

CIVIL SERVICE LEADER, Tuesday, April 29, 1975

Sombre mood of Western Region meeting in Dunkirk earlier this month is reflected in faces of these re-
sional and statewide leaders, From left are George Clark, president of Erie County chapter and candi-
date for regional third vice-president; Jack Gallagher, statewide treasurer; James Powers, regional
supervisor, and Robert Young, CSEA field representative.

Marietta Godbey, of SUNY at Fredonia chapter, signs im under the watchful eyes of Gowanda PC
chapter leaders who manned the registration desk: from left, Betty Wolf, secretary-treasurer; Florence
Wolez, entertainment committee chairman, and Maye A. Bull, president, Gowanda PC and SUNY
at Fredonia were co-hosts for the event.

George Fassel, left, West Seneca DC, and Paul Dabolt, J. N. Adams,
were among the delegates whe braved snow storm to attend regional
meeting earlier this month at Dunkirk Holiday Inn,

Region 6 Takes
Stand On CETA

(Continued from Page 3)

Mr. Lattimer, who also serves
as Labor departmental repre-
sentative to the CSEA Board of
Directors, stressed the political
implications of the emergency
employment program. He said
state officials want to keep the
federally funded CETA workers
rather than pay salaries to state
workers, The program, he point-
ed out, “can be kept ad infinitum
as long as Congress thinks it's
politically popular.”

‘The meeting, coming on the
heels of a spring snowstorm, was
sparsely attended. Mr. McGowan
reported numerous delegites and
officers “stranded in their drive-
ways.”

Dorothy Lewis, of the State
University of Buffalo chapter,
was pressed into duty as secre-
tary when Judy Burgess, the re-
sion’s secretary, called to say
she was held up by the storm.
Ms. Burgess, from the Rochester
‘area, was not alone. Most of the
25 delegates at the meeting were
from the Buffalo area.

But the snow did benefit re-
tirees living at the St. Vincent's
home in Fredonia,

Maye Bull, president of the
Gowanda Psychiatric Center
chapter, hosts for the meeting,
was supported from the floor
when she proposed treating
members of the home to paid-up
dinners not being eaten. James
Powers, regional supervisor, vol-
unteered with area field reps to
taxi the oldsters to and from the
dinner.

‘The meeting also had a touch

of humor when Mr, Mogavero,
‘through Mr. McGowan, presented
field representative Robert
Young with an impromptu pres-
ent—two plastic cups linked by
a piece of string, the sort of
thing children employ when
playing telephone.

Mr. Mogavero explained that
Mr. Young had lost the electron-
fe beeper that notifies him to
call CSEA headquarters and the
cups would serve as a substitute,

No special speakers were
scheduled to address the dinner.
Theodore Wenzl, union president,
flew in from CSEA-State nego-
tiations in, Albany and spoke
briefly.

‘The Rev. Ralph Gibson, Cath-
olie chaplain at Gowanda, was
master of ceremonies.

‘The storm-dampened atten-
dance forced county and state
workshops to blend into a gen-
eral discussion in the Saturday
morning sessions, Ernest Wagner
CSEA statewide pension com-
mittee chairman, conducted a
session on retirement programs
Friday evening

Mr, Lattimer took advantage
of the meeting to deny a rumor
he said was making the rounds
of the CSEA regarding his can-
didacy for region president.

He said he was not planning
to enter management, ulthough
he had taken a management ex-
am, and his run for office was
not “throwing a lot of smoke.”

He said the state normally
has @ 1-3 year lead time between
exam-taking and appointment
for the job he was seeking

SUNY at Buffalo delegation included, from left, Roger Frieday, Barbara Kauffman, Ginger Moronski
and chapter president Edward Dudek. SUNYAB chapter, third largest in the region, is represented in
the regional leadership by two of its members, second vice-president Robert Smith and third vice-

president June Boyle. Mr. Dudek and Ms. Boyle are candidates for re-election to the CSEA Board of

Robert Lattimer, president of Manpower Services chapter, was
forceful speaker during discussion on CETA employees. Mr. Latti-
mer’s opponent for Western Region 6 president, Samuel Grossfield
of Rochester, was among the many delegates who could not attend

the meeting because of the severe snow storm.

Western Region 6 president William McGowan presided over regional meeting earlier this month. Here

145,735 people were covered in
the plan. On April 16, counci}
for the State amended the testi-
mony of Mr. Dermody, He stated
that the total employees covered
under the plan was 133,676, not
145,735 and the costs given earli-
er were in error. As an example,
the 20 million dollar cost was
now assumed to be $10,650,804
At this point our counell qu
tioned the testimony previously
given

On Sunday, April 16, Wil-
liam Blom, CSEA director of
research, presented our demands
on salary, He gave a brief ex-
planation on each demand, He
pointed out that during our
1973-1976 negotiations, CSEA
was quite concerned with the
Federal Wage Price Controls ef-
fective for 1974 limiting pay
raises to 5% percent, CSEA pre-
sented exhibits showing what
was used to justify our salary
demands, Using the Consumer
Price Index, Bureau of Labor
statistics, federal and state tax
tables and tables provided pre-
viously by the State, showing
by units, distribution of salary
levels, Mr. Blom was able to
substantiate that our real spend-
able income was diminished since
April 1, 1973.

State case on salary started
with James Northrap, acting di-
rector of OER for these nego-
tations. He described the activi-
tles in all 13 sessions of negotia-
tions held by date. Included also
was the position of the State on
inerements (do away with), On
cross-examination, Jack Rice,
CSEA council, brought out thas

placed the increment system,

‘The State's next witness was
Barry Lorch, chief classification
analyst, Civil Service. He testi-
fied, among others, his job was
to compare salaries in private
and public sectors with New York
salaries for comparable positions
in Northeastern United States.
He expanded on this by stating
that each bargaining unit Is
receiving comparable salaries,
His testimony however revealed
a very selective number of titles
in each unit that he analyzed,

‘The State's next witness was
Jeremy Schrauf, prineipal budget
examiner, Division of Budget, He
stated that certain items not
covered under the reopener
clause in the CSEA contract
have an. impact on the total
monetary cost of salary. He men-
toned the “fringe” benefits, Le.
retirement, health  insurancs
workmans compensation, un-
employment insurance and sur-
vivors benefit. He testified that
the comptroller places a 20.6
percent value on these benefits.

The comptroller estimates that
in the fiscal year 1976-76 with-
out further inereases this per-
centage will be 32,43 percent

The State's last witness was

CIVIL SERVICE LEADER, Tuesday, April 29, 1975

OSHA Worker
State Firings
Are Condemned

(Continued from Page 1)
pension, it won't be the same as
if I had 25 years in the job,” he
said, “They're firing guys with
30, 35 years. This is just a ver-
rible axing they’re doing.”

Dr. Wensl said that from May
14 until July 1, “Anyone who
works anywhere in New York
State, or uses a wide variety
of public facilities, will have his
personal safety and health in
great peri] because there will be
virtually no safety inspections in
this state during that time.”

Additionally, the union presi-
dent said, “it is highly unlikely
the federal enforcement and in-
spection of OSHA standards in
New York State will ever ap-
proach the high levels obtained
by the State's own program.”

‘The CSEA president notes that
he wrote a letter earlier this
week to Governor Carey, asking
him to reconsider his decision to
tum over the enforcement of
safety and health standards in
the state to the federal govern-
ment. In that letter, Dr, Wenal
pointed out that state inspectors
were told in March that they
would be retained, at the very
least, until through June 30.
Purthermore, he stated, the State
indicated one reason for drop-
ping its own plan was because
the Legislature fajled in pre-
vious years to enact the legisla-
tion supporting it, However, Dr.
Wenzl pointed out, the State
Senate recently overwhelmingly
passed legisistion in support of
the State enforcing the OSHA
standards,

Dr. Wenz! said that the firing
of 395 people effective May 14
will leave only 286 people in the
Department of Labor's unit re-
sponsible for OSHA-related mat-
ters. “And even this small force
will be retained only if an ad-
ditional $15 million is added to
the State's supplemental budget,
and then only for this fiscal
year, CSEA, which strongly fav-
ors retaining the State's plan,
has shown that the entire State
program can be operated for ap-
proximately $1.5 million annually
by using the matching federal
funds Gvailable plus the fines
and penalties from violations of

Stating “someone isn’t think-
ing when they recommend the
May 14 firings,” Dr, Wenal noted
that among the 304 people to
be terminated are about 100 con-
struction inspectors and 120 fac-
tory inspectors.

“The construction business is
Just starting to boom, as it does
every year at this time, and

suddenly the State lays off all
those construction safety in-
spectors, It just doesn't make
any sense at all, the construc-
tion business is simply not going
to be a safe place to work this
year. As for factories, everyone
knows such places must be con-
stantly inspected to keep the
safety and health factors at a
proper level,” he said.

“There js no possible way that
federal enforcement can match
what we already have in this
State, and I call publicly upon
the governor to reconsider his
previous decision in the best in-
terests of the general public,
Mr. Wenzl concluded.

McDermott Issues Roundup
Of Fact-Finding Sessions

ALBANY—Civil Service Employees Assn. vice-president Joseph E. McDermott last
week issued a report on fact-finding to chapter presidents in Albany Region 4, which he

heads as president.

Mr, McDermott noted that the report has been compiled from information pre-

pared by several of the Albany
Region members on the negotia-
ting team handling contract
taiks with the State.

Since the state membership ‘of
CSEA will soon be given an op-
portunity to vote on the fact-
finders’ recommendations, The
Leader reprints here Mr, Mc-
‘Dermott’s report in the hope that
it will provide background in-
formation that will aid employ-
ees when they cast their ballots,

As you already know, CSEA
and the State went to fact-find-
ing on March 31, 1975, The fol-
lowing information is transmit-
ted to you so that you are ap-
prised with the procedure that
was followed along with a brief
outline of what has transpired so
far.

‘The State and CSEA met on
April 3, 5, 6, 8, 12, 13, 16 and
17, 1975. On Thursday, April 3,
1975, the three people appointed
by PERB went over the ground
rules, stating that CSEA and the
State-OER will have no more
than 16 people, The first meeting
was on Saturday, April 5 at the
Education Department Regents
Room, and it was open to the
general public, The meeting be-
gan at 10 am, One of the
problems that they had the first
day was that every reporter in
the State of New York was there
The news media was informed
that they could take pictures at

the beginning of the session but
not during the seasion. I would
like to-point out that the sessions
conducted were like a court of
jaw, CSEA and the State pre-
sented their demands, bringing
out the facts. Both sides exam-
ined and cross-examined the wit-
nesses. The fact-finders asked
questions, and there were two
transcribers present. These peo-
ple took verbatim notes, and in
a matter of two hours after each
meeting, both sides had a copy
of verbatim minutes.

‘The first item discussed on
Saturday, the Sth, was our dis-
ciplinary procedures, CSEA took
the offense in every issue and
presented the demands. None of
the demands that was originally
submitted had been withdrawn.
Bernie Ryan, assistant program
specialist for CSEA, presented
the disciplinary issues. He spoke
all day Saturday from 10 a.m, to
6 p.m. and a half a day Sunday.

Disciplinary procedure was the
right place to start to point out
the ridiculousness of the State's
position on all issues. Mr, Ryan
gave the following testimony
‘The State, during negotiations tn
1972, wanted to make some mod-
iftcations in the disciplinary pro-
cedure that existed, 1. Section
7 of the Civil Service Law, Prior
to July 1, 1973, 85 people were
Served notices. Once our current

members of the CSEA within the
units. Additionally, a recommen-
dation that both parties jointly
prepare and recommend to the
Legislature the enabling legisla-
don which would be necessary to
implement an Agency Shop.

The Agency Shop fee to be set
at 60 percent of minimum CSEA
monthly dues, with part-time
employees assessed on a pro-rata
bask

As CSEA Was preparing to poll
its State members on the pro-
Posals, there was no indication

from the State as to its position
relative to acceptance or rejec~
tion. Should both sides accept
the recommendations of the fact~
finders it appears very likely that
they will be approved by the
Legistature. If either side rejects
the proposals, the Legislature
will conduct a legislative hearing
to establish 4 binding resolution,
with authority to change the rec-
ommendations of the fact-find-
ore if it chooses.

President Wenal noted that the
ballots going out this week repre-
sent a preliminary vote on the

fact-finders' recommendations,
He emphasized that the recom-
mendations are also subject to
acceptance by the Governor, fi-
nal ratification by the Legisla-
ture and ratification again by
CSEA's state worker members.

OGS Chapter Meet

ALBANY—A general member-
ship meeting of the Office of
General Services chapter, Civil
Service Employees Assn. will be
held Saturday, May 17,

contract was in effect (73-76),
for the first 12 months 1,466
notices of discipline were served,
of which 963, or 65 percent were
served in Mental Hygiene. 481 of
these seeked termination. We
were successful in keeping 465
members on the payroll. During
the first six months of our con-
tract, 559 people were suspended
Of these 559 people, 417 were
from Mental Hygiene and 8
from one institution, Mr, Ryan
further pointed out that in at
least one case, the arbitrator
ruled that a suspension of three
months would be fair. The em-
ployee, however, was off the pay-
roll for nine months, and there-
fore, had six months’ back pay
coming, Under the disciplinary
procedure, CSEA (the Executive
Director) is supposed to receive
notices, The State of New York
did not comply with the contract
language; CSEA did not receive
279 notices. Therefore, you can-
not keep track of the people and
represent them properly

Mr. Ryan also pointed out that
the contract language states that
an employee has a right to a
CSEA representative. They do not
do this in every case, For exam-
ple, during an employee's interro-
gation, the statement was made
“you have @ right to your repre-
sentative.” The employee's rep-
resentative was working in an in-
tensive care unit, and the em-
ployee was denied representation.
Tt was then the State's turn to
cross-examine, and they did so
all afternoon Sunday, On Tues-
day, April 8, the Sate put on
its witness (Jeff Austin), He
presented the State of New
York's case and he was exam-
ined, The State feels that a third
stage grievance js a meeting and
not a hearing, The employee
comes in and is supposed to
Justify his innocence. The con-
tract states that you are inno-
cent until you are proven guilty,
The State of New York states
that they want an employee w
sign papers if requested to do
so when interrogated. If he re-

fuses to give information, he can
be brought up on charges for in-
subordination. ap:

‘Tuesday afternoon's session
was devoted to our Ageney Shop
demand, CSBA addressed itself
to the concept of non-members
paying fees similar to member-
ship dues, The State did not ob-
Ject to this concept, however,
they indicate concern over the
constitutionality. CSEA was to
provide the proposed legislative
bill. They did so on Sunday,
April 13, 1975,

On April 12, 1976, John Carey
presented CSEA demands, 22 in
total, to the fact-finders and a
brief explanation of each. CSEA
entered into the record slide
comparisons prepared by Blue
Cross showing the coverage pro-
vided in the first year on the
plan (1957) with other organt-
zations, Le. U. 5, Steel, N.
Telephone, Auto Workers and the
Federal Employers Plan, This
showed from the outset that our
plan as conceived was behind in
some areas, The plan did, how-
ever, provide for payment in full
for those employees earning less
than $6,000.

Mr, Carey then presented com-
parisons for 1973 using the same
subscribers, This further pointed
out our plan's lack of competi-
tiveness and related his presen-
tation to our demands,

On April 13 and 16, 1076,
James Dermody, director of Per-
sonal] Services and Development
Division, Department of Civil
Service, presented the State's
Position on health insurance. He
stated costs for each CSEA de-
mand. He further gave testimony
concerning the cost of the State's
seven health insurance demands
fs related to savings for them.
Demands 1, 2, 3, 4 and 7 were
previously withdrawn by the
State; however, they did not
have cost figures for two of their
demands, Demands 5 and 6 were
still on the table before impasse
was declared and the State did
not have cost figures on them
either, Mr. Dermody pointed out
that there were offers made by
the State on six demands for
which the total estimated cost
of the State was $177,700, Dur-
ing C6EA cross-examination of
Mr. Dermody, we pressed for the
number of employees in the four
bargaining units covered under
‘Ue plan, based on Mr, Dermody’s
statement that If accepted by the
‘State, one of our demands was
to cost them 20 million dollars.
Mr. Dermody had explained that
