Breaking with precedent, the editorial on Page 6 this week
has been signed by the editor of The Leader, Since it deals strongly
with Governor Carey's budget as It affects state employees, the
editor feels that it is best to distinguish that these are his views and
not necessarily those of the Civil Service Employees Assn., currently
in contract negotiations with the state under a news blackout, We
believe, however, that it is a significant statement worthy of com-
‘ment, It is made in the fear that if we are right, it would be wrong

Wenzl, In A Demand To Carey,
Insists State Continue Exams

ALBANY—Deploring the State's unilateral postponement of Civil Service tests, or-
iginally scheduled for Feb. 8, Theodore C. Wenzl, president of the 230,000-member Civil
Service Employees Assn. last week dispatched a letter to Gov, Hugh Carey seeking clari-
fication of the postponement and a demand that guarantees promotional opportunities

for employees will be continued
by holding future tests as sched-
wed.

Faulting the state for not
consulting “with the employee
representative for 140,000 State
employees,” Dr. Wenal ocalied
such action “deplorable and in-
consistent with sound labor man-
agement policies and practices.

“Prior to further mplementa-
tion of actions regarding these
matters, we strongly advise that
you consult with us and consider

implementing our recommenda-
tions which would be in the best
interest of the employees whom
we represent as well as in the
best interest of the State,” his
letter said to Ersa H. Poston,
president of the New York State
Civil Service Commission.

for continuance of promotional
opportunities was his demand

FIRE ie FLIES -

‘The following guest article was
written to make the public aware
of the urgent need of a medical
facility that will be capable of
delivering complete, up to date
burn treatment to any one seri-
ously burned.

One never knows how or
when a person might be
burned, but it is known that,
due to insufficient medical
facilities, many burn victims
die or are disabled for life.
Whether the victim is a rela-
tive, friend, or just a name in
the paper is not important.
What is important, is that
with proper treatment at a
burn center, many of these
deaths and disabilities could
be avoided. To die from a
burn injury is a tragedy, to
die unnecessarily because of
insufficient medical treat-
ment borders on a crime,

Nobody is “fireproof”!!! To-
day, burns are epidemic in ev-
ery age group, from infants to

oldsters. It's a silent epidemic!

in the New York Area have a
right to comprehensive burn care
and rehabilitation, How many
more sacrifices have to be made?
How many more tragedies do we
have to endure? How many more
“Phantoms-of-the-Opera” do we
have.to hide in our tenements?

Johnson Resubmits

Pension Exemption
Taxation Measure

ALBANY—State Senator Owen H. Johnson (R., Nassau-
Suffolk) has amended and prefiled a bill to grant an exemp-
tion from New York State income tax for the pensions paid
by other states where “reciprocal” exemptions are offered. A

similar measure was vetoed last
year,
“I am firmly convinced that

‘The new bill excludes public
pensions received from other

only if some sort of reciprocal
tax agreement is offered are

Senator Johnson explained, “If
& New York State public em-
ployee should decide to retire in
any of these five states, his pen-
ston would be taxable under that
state's tax laws, simply because
New York State taxes pensioners
from their atates. By removing
the income tax on the pensions
of those public employees from
other states who relocate in New
York State, we are ineuring that
our retirees will be able to take
full advantage of this tax break
offered by other states, I hope
that this legislation will enoour-
age additional states to adopt
similar mutual tax exemptions
for public pensioners.”

Nassau Legislative Chief
Condemns Pilgrim Critics

HAUPPAUGE—The presiding officer of the Suffolk County legislature said he was
“shocked and amazed" to learn of some of the activities of a group critical of the staff and
administration of Pilgrim Psychiatric Center, Brentwood.

In a letter to Lawrence Kolb, commissioner of the State Department of Mental Hy-

iene, Michsel J. Grant, the pre-
siding officer and 10 District
legislator, observed: “Recently I
had the opportunity of attending
& meeting of the employees of
Pilgrim State Hospital and a
group calling themselves ‘Con-
cemed Citizens,’

“During the course of this
meeting, I was shocked and
amazed to learn of some of the
activities of these ‘Concerned
Citizens.’ These include the phys-
‘eal abuse of patients, interfer-
ence with the feeding of patients,
and allowing members of the
news media to enter the various
wards of the hospital with cam-

“Senator Johnson assured the

Mr, Harris said. “He said also

Freedom To Roam

“These actions on the part of
the ‘Concerned Citizens' were a
direct result of the fact that they
have been given complete free-
dom to roam the hospital
grounds and were given keys to
enable them to enter the various
wards at any time they wish.

“To say the least, their ac-
tions have completely disrupted
the day-to-day activities of the
hospital, crushed the morale of
the employees, and severely ham-
pered the care and treatment
of the hospital patients.

“To correct this situation and
to prevent the recurrence of
these actions, I would like you
to consider taking back the keys
from the ‘Concerned Citizens’
and to keep them off the hospital
grounds other than when they
visit their friends or relatives
who are patients,

“I know of no other State or
County agency that allows an
outside group to have the free-
dom of the grounds and freedom
to disrupt the day-to-day activi-
ties of a governmental institution
that this group now has,”

A copy of the letter was sent
to Betty Duffy, president of the
Pilgrim chapter of Civil Service
Employees Assn.

Sincerity Challenged

At the meeting between the
outside group and Pilgrim staff-
ers, held last month, a number
of the more than 200 workers
who attended challenged the sin-
cerity of thelr critics and de-
seribed thelr methods as both
frresponsible and destructive, It
was alleged that one of the “Con-

ployees questioned whether or
not “Concerned Citizens” is work-
ing in behalf of private nursing-
home operators in hopes of de-
stroying state institutions and
forcing patients into private,
profit-making factlities.

During the meeting, Ms.
Duffy warned the three visitors—
Michael Kaplan, president of the
group; Desmond Schwager, vice-
president, and Pauline Altman—
that “You've get @ lot of undoing
to do. The employees feel that
they have been insulted and ma-
lgned and depreciated by ‘Con-
cerned Citizens.’

Visitors Cautioned

Noting that a review of the
hospital's two-year accreditation
had been comp&ted on the day
of the meeting, the CSEA leader
noted, "If we lose our accredita-
tion, this hospital would lose $30
million in Medicare and Medicaid
reimbursements. If we lose that
money, we won't be able to take
care of our patients.”

Another CSEA officer, Greg
Seurnicki, vice-chairman of the
CSEA Mental Hygiene Council,
put it this way to the visitors:
“You have created an organiza-
tion that seeks to destroy just
what you need—the employees,”

At the end of the meeting, Mr.

out to get publicity, It irked me
to see @ group like that, no

‘Zero’ For Employees

§ much as we would like to believe that Governor Carey

is merely taking the usual pre-negotiation stance, we
are becoming increasingly concerned with what strikes us
as a hardening attitude toward state employees.

In making his budget presentation last week to a select
group of newspaper editors and media representatives, he
said that he had provided “Zero for state employees, and
we are proceeding (with negotiations) on that basis.” He
went on to explain: "The law prohibits propagandizing on
negotiations beforehand, but as you can see there is no pro-
vision for it (salary increases) in the budget.”

A degree of cynicism seems to be developing around the
Governor's call for austerity, though. In the Legislature,
both Democratic and Republican leaders have callously an-
nounced high-paid additions to their staffs and multi-
thousand-dollar salary. increases for others. The timing of
Lieut. Gov. Mary Ann Krupsak’s request for a hefty increase
for the operation of her office also lends to the incredibility,
despite her eloquent explanations of the uses she would make
of the allotment.

Since most civil servants are in the lower and lower-
middle income categories, we can only assume that the
Governor's intention is to aid them by not taxing them as
heavily as those people who have snared the lucrative
political plums.

The Governor has called for reduction of the state
work force by attrition. In our view, that 1s just another
way of increasing the work load. Is this what he meant
when, during campaign speeches, he tied in career ladders
with increased productivity?

As the Governor currently states his position, our inter-
pretation is that he intends to have state employees work
harder at the same pay—and inflation be damned. As every-
one knows, the escalating cost-of-living has already sub-
stantially reduced the real earnings of state employees.

In our view, it is an abrogation of good faith with state
employees who approved a three-year contract with provision
for renegotiation of the third year. These negotiations are
ready to proceed,

In the meantime, other unions, albeit with smaller mem-
berships than that of the Civil Service Employees Assn.
which represents the, bulk of state employees, are already
tied into long-range contracts that will gain increases for
their members during the coming year.

By no stretch of the imagination can it be conceived
that the CSEA leaders or their membership would have ap-
proved their current contract had there been the slightest
supposition that the administration would break faith with
the intent of the accord.

The greatest damage, however, may be the pressure that
will mount for CSEA to abandon its traditional neutrality
in state political contests.

It ts our contention that former Governor Wilson would
have received CSEA endorsement if an actual vote had been
taken at the CSEA Convention last October, although Carey
forces worked strongly for his endorsement.

The feeling was strong among the delegates that it
would be wrong for state employees to vote an endorsement,
when they must face the Administration in negotiations.

Many people will now feel that CSEA is being penalized
for its integrity, and that the Governor is showing more
concern for the New York City unions that were free to
support him.

If the Governor truly intends to refuse to negotiate, the
future course of civil service and of politics in this state may
be one of rapid change—for the worse. Marvin Baxiey

Moreover, sinc? approximately
two-thirds of the Budget involves
appropriations for lucal govern-
ments, the Budget also shapes

between those who would spend

Battle Of The Budget

The tensions chat develop at
the legislative level during the
two-month interval between sub-
mission by the Governor of his
proposed budget and March 31,
the last date on which the Legis
jature must act, have generally
been described as the Battte of
the Budget.

‘This year, though, things will
be ® lot different. What in past
years has been described as a
battle will appear to have been
« charade compared to the blood
that will flow before the Budget
is adopted this year.

Unfortunately for Governor
Carey, his first budget is a prod-
uct and a reflection of the eco
nomic ills that afflict the nation
—skyrocketing costs, mounting
unemployment, business sluggish:
ness, and declining public rev-

riations to meet rising costs, and
higher taxes to offset declining
revenues,

Now that the Governor has
submitted his budget, standing at
front and center are Staten Is-

ernor Carey will have to cope

Taylor Law Coverage

In a recent decision by a hearing officer of the New
York State Public Employment Relations Board, the hearing
officer dismissed, as a matter of law, certain charges of im-
proper practices filed by an employee of the Board of Educa-
tion of the City of Syracuse against the Board and the Syra-
cuse Teachers Association. The charge alleged that the em-
ployee's rights to freely participate in the Association and
to freely participate in an election for president of the
Association as a candidate in the election were infringed
upon by the respondents.

The Board of Education filed an answer addressed to
the charge, but the Association moved to have the charges
particularized. This motion was granted in part. When the
particulars requested had been received, the Association filed
its answer. On July 30, 1974, a hearing was held at which
all parties were present and represented by counsel. At this
hearing, the Association and the Board of Education moved
to dismiss the case on the ground that PERB lacked juris-
diction of the subject matter of the charge. The respondents
both contended that the misconduct alleged concerned
purely internal union affairs and were matters that the Act
was never intended to cover. The charging party opposed
the motion and the hearing was adjourned without date
pending the disposition of that problem.

. . .

THE FIRST QUESTION raised by the charging party
was whether or not a hearing officer was empowered to dis-
miss a charge based solely on the pleadings. The charging
party argued that once the Director of Public Employment
Practices determined that a charge may constitute an im-
proper practice, the hearing officer may not dismiss it prior
to a hearing on the merits.

In her decision, the hearing officer stated: “The original
charge has been amplified by additional particulars, issue
has been joined, and the hearing has commenced, I am now
asked to decide whether (the employee) has any chance of
success in establishing a violation. If, as a matter of law,
the answer is no, because the alleged acts are not within
the compass of the Act, I have an obligation to avoid fruitless
Utigation by terminating the proceedings at this point.”

Without the necessity of going into great detail, the
basis for the charge involved alleged improprieties which
the charging party argued arbitrarily and unreasonably
favored the incumbent president of the Association against
@n opposition candidate. These allegations had to do not
only with difficulties encountered because of restrictions
contained in the Association's constitution and by-laws, but
also alleged stumbling blocks placed in the path of the
challenging candidate by the Board of Education, such as
@ refusal to permit the candidate to use the inter-school
mails and teacher mail boxes.

The relief sought from PERB was an order setting aside
the election and directing that a new election and a new
nomination in accordance with due process and equal pro~
tection standards be held.

. . .

“WHETHER THE ACT was intended to regulate such
internal operations of employee organizations as the elec-
tion of officers is the issue of first impression present in this
case. I find, in agreement with the Associaton and the Board,
that it was not,” None of the legislative background leading
to the passage of the Taylor Law involved itself in attempus
to regulate the internal workings or structures of employee
organizations, The hearing officer said that the Taylor Law
was clearly designed to protect only employee rights to or-

not impinge upon basic organizational or collective nego-

tuted “not bargaining in good

Leonard Kimmel, attorney for
the county, contended that the
provisions and salary schedule
of the Suffolk County contract
were “different” from those cited
by CSEA and indicated that dis-
cussions for the new contract in-
volved the elimination of incre-

Disputing that he was unaware
of any such discussions or pro-
posals for the elimination of in-
crements, Mr, Corbin demanded
immediate payments to the em-
Ployees, and emphasized that
should the county continue in
its intransigent attitude then
“CSEA will insist upon the pay-
ment of interest on the incre-
ments retroactively to Jan, 1,

In an attempt to resolve the

CIVIL SERVICE LEADER, Tuesday, February 4, 1975

Fed, Unions Promise Fight
On Proposed 5% Pay Lid
Government union leaders have
Promised an al! out war to stop
President Ford's proposed § per-
cent cost-of-living payment id

(until July of 1976) on blue col-
lar workers, and the more than
one out of five Americans who
depend on their monthly social
seourity, civil service, or military
fetirement checks.

One reason for their concern
is the possibility that the Presi-
dent's comprehensive program,
which includes « petroleum tax
to force cutbacks in ol] usage,
may force up the nation’s month-
ly inflation rate an additional 2

rent rate of the nation’s inflation
is. Por two million federal mili-
tary retirees it would mean no
increase mt all, in spite of the
higher Hving costs, until (at the
earliest) July, 1976.

Tn addition, the President has
said that netther retirees nor ac-
tive duty civilian military per-
sonnel would be ervtitied to cateh
up raises until after the controls
are lifted.

Blue Cross-Shield
Accident Benefits
Reduced By State

ALBANY—A new State regulation makes Blue Cross and
Blue Shield coverage generally invalid for health services
provided as a result of auto injuries, according to an an-
nouncement from Blue Cross and Blue Shield of the Roches-

ter area.

‘The State Insurance Depart-
ment, according to the announce-
ment, “despite strong opposition
from the Blue Cross and Blue
Shield Plans,” has ruled that
effective Feb,

for the care of auto accident vic-
tims until after “No-Fault” bene-
fits under their automobile in-
surance policies have been ex-
hausted.

Blue Cross and Blue Shield, the
statement continued, “opposed
the regulation on the grounds
that it is discriminatory, infla-
tionary and administratively {l-
logical.

“It places the primary respon-
sibility for payment on commer-
cial casualty insurers who tradi-
tionally retain a far larger share
of the premium dollar than Blue
Cross and Blue Shield Plans do.

“Tt transfers a benefit from
the tax-exempt Blue Cross and
Blue Shield contracts to the tax-
able commercial policy, The em-
ployee loses a benefit in his Blue
Cross and Blue Shield program
and faces the possibility of hav-
ing to pay a higher premium out
of his own pocket for the same
benefit under his personal auto
accident policy. So far as umion-
negotiated contracts are con
cerned, it effectively reduces the
benefit package for which em-
ployees bargained.

“It thwarts cost control mea-
sures built into Blue Cross and
Blue Shield contracts by trans-
ferring Hability to commercials
who do not have reimbursement
agreements that limit total pay-

ments to health service pro-
viders.””

of the injury, but, in many cases,
the kind of vehicle involved and
the patient's state of sobriety.

The No-Fault regulation ap-
pears to be another attempt by
the State to solve cost problems
by placing a hardship on Blue
Cross and Blue Shield subscrib-
ers, the statement concluded.

Medicare Coverage Check
Urged By CSEA’s Lochner

ALBANY — Joseph D. Lochner, executive director of the Civil Service Employees Assn.,
urged retirees who are eligible for Medicare benefits to seek complete and accurate infor-
mation on medical services covered by the plan before entering a nursing facility,

“Just as you would consult a Blue Cross representative or local Social Security per-

sonnel about a nursing facility's
Participation in the Medicare
Program, you should also re-
quest complete information on
which inpatient medical services
will and will not be covered by
the plan,” Mr, Lochner advised
in comments to The Leader. He
also recommended the August,
1974 edition of “Your Medicare
Handbook" aa a good source of
accurate information on medi-
cal services covered by the
Health Plan.

Added Expenses
“Upon entering a qualified
nursing facility following hospi-
talization for a medical condition
which requires daily nursing or
rehabilitative services, if you re-
quest private duty nurses or
even personal conveniences like a
television or telephone in your
room, you should be aware that
these services are defined by
Medicare as a personal expendi-
ture. The handbook spells it out
clearly: Medicare's hospital in-
surance will not pay for these

items,” Mr. Lochner said.

Also defined as services not in-
cluded in Medicare coverage, Mr
Lochner pointed out, are private
rooms, unless necessary for med-
feal reasons, and the first three

pints of blood recetved tn a
benefit period at the nursing
facility.

‘The booklet, available at local
Social Security offices, lists the
foRowing services as part of
Medicare coverage for patients
in skilled nursing facilities: a
semi-private room; all meals in-
cluding special diets; regular
nursing services; rehabilitation
services, such as physical, oecu-
pational, and speech therapy;
drugs furnished by the nursing
facility during a patient's stay;
medical supplies such as splints
and casts and ust of wheelchairs
and other such appliances.

Mr, Lochner also noted that
patients must meet all of the
following conditions to qualify
for Medicare's help in paying for
the inpatient care at a skilled
nursing facility: the patient must
have been in a hospital at least
three days in a row before trans-
ferring to a skilled nursing fa-
eility; the patient has transfer-
red to the nursing facility be-
cause he requires care for a con-
dition which was treated in the
hospital; the patient was admit-
ted to the facility within a short
time (generally 14 days) after

leaving the hospital: a doctor
certified that the patient needed
skilled nursing or skilled rehabili-
tation services on a dally basis.

Some Restrictions

“It's especially important to
remember the requirement that
& patient must need skilled nurs-
ing or rehabilitation services on
@ dally basis,” Mr. Lochner sald.
“Medicare cannot pay for a pa-
tient's stay if he needs these
services only on an occasional
basis, such as once or twice a
week, Also, although a person
may have been admitted to a
skilled nursing facility, Medicare
will not cover this care if it is
mainly custodial—that ts, for the
purpose of meeting personal
needs like helping in walking,
getting in and out of bed, bath-
ing, dressing and eating,” he ex-
plained.

“Pertinent information on
Medicare benefits is easily avail-
able from several reliable sources.
‘The more reitrees read and un-
derstand about the plan and its
services, the fess Hkely the pos-
sibility they will, one day, find
themselves responsible for costs
they cannot afford to pay.” Mr.
Lochner said,
