Board Vacancy
For A&C Seat

ALBANY—A special election
for a CSEA Board of Directors
representative from State De-
partment of Audit and Con-
1 will be scheduled in the
near future, and Audit and
Control chapter officials have
been asked to nominate can-
didates for the vacant seat.

The Audit and Control De-
partment seat on the CSEA
Board of Directors became va-
cant with the recent retire-
ment from state service of
Harold J. Ryan Jr.

Nominations should be for-
warded not later than March
2 to Bernard C. Schmahi,
chairman, CSEA Special Elec-
tion Procedures Committee,
CSEA Headquarters, 33 Elk
Street, Box 125, Capitol Sta-
tion, Albany, N. Y¥. 12224

Irving Flaumenbaum addresses a session of the Nassau County Board
of Supervisors in Mineola. Mr. Flaumenbaum, head of the Nassau
chapter, Civil Service Employees Assn. and leader of the union's
Long Island Region I, spoke to the Board about the current CSEA-
Nassau contract talks. (See Story on Page 16.)

L.1. Region Explores CETA

AMITYVILLE Civil Ser-
vice Employees Assn. Long
Island Region I leaders
joined in a special seminar
on the Federal Comprehensive
Employment and Training Act
(CETA) recently. The conclu-
sion? The CETA program needs
policing.

About 25 representatives of the

ion’s 14 active-service chap-

rs heard an in-depth review on
the law and alleged abuses of it
from Marjorie Karowe, a CSEA
Albany Headquarters staff attor-
ney who has been working ex-
clusively on CETA problems, and
Donald Webster, president of the
Mount Vernon unit of West-
chester local 860, who has done
extensive research on CETA

Long Island Region president

jected the seminar, and Ms.

CETA programs will be drawn
up for the guidance of chapter
and unit leaders.

Regional second vice-president
Nicholas Abatiello was also on
the dais. Fran Mannellino of the

Pilgrim PC chapter served as
secretary.
Ms. Karowe distributed an

ineh-thick booklet prepared by
her office with extracts of the
CETA law.

She and Mr. Webster stressed
that the law provides CETA jobs
as entry-level positions only, and
noted that the existing legisia-
tion mits the training period
to 18 months. It was noted by
speakers from the dais and the
floor that training is notable by
its absence in CETA employment

Mr. Webster alleged he and his
co-workers have unearthed abu-
ses of the program, including
nepotism, needless payroll pad-
ding and no-show positions.

Ms. Karowe also noted that the

law provides that in case of
layoff, the CETA positions must
go first.

When abuses are found, such as
cases in which CETA workers are
assigned to work above the en-

CSEA Spurns
All Affiliation
For Present

(Special to The Leader)
ALBANY—After more than three years of exploring the
possibility of affiliation with other unions, the Civil Service
Employees Assn. has discarded the idea, at least for the

foreseeable future.

Theodore C. Wenzl, leader of
the union, said, “It simply be-
came apparent that there is no
clear advanage to CSEA in join-
ing any other organization at

this time.

The decision came at the re-
cent monthly meeting of CSEA’s
Board of Directors in the course
of a report by the union's ex-
pansion committee, a

group es-

advantages and disadvantages of
affiliatior

Underscoring the finality of
the move was the adoption of a
resolution, immediately following
the report, to disband the ex-
pansion committee since its pur-
pose had been accomplished

Syracuse Health Center

Stopped For

Third Time

In Worker Firing Attempt

SYRACUSE—For the third time the Civil Service Em-
ployees Assn. has turned back an attempt by the Syracuse
Neighborhood Health Center to lay off employees.

According to Terry Moxley, Region V field representative,

the federally-funded center,
sponsored by the Research Foun-
dation of the State University of
New York, has been forced to
pay out at least $35,000 and pos-

sibly up to $50,000 in back sal-
aries and interest.
Mr. Moxley said that the cases

Dr, Friedman, however, post-

when the union charged it was
not informed of the proposed re-
organization and that its con-
tract, which calls for negotla-

tions on any changes in work-
ing conditions, had been violated.
Union officials said that the ad-
ministration had wilfully en-
gaged in an unfair labor prac-
tee.

Addressing a meeting of al-
most 200 chapter members in the
Institution’s cafeteria, Jackie

Walker, Manhattan DC chapter
president, sald that the chap-
ter’s position was forcefully pre-
sented to the director.

Ms. Walker told the members
that in acceding to the union's
demands, Dr. Friedman had

the right to represent the

Lynbrook School district from
the Service Employees Interna-

élection held here on Feb. 20.

The victory marks the third
win in a row for the CSEA over
SEIU to represent non-instruc-
tional school employees on Long
Island.

The election victory, by a
three-to-two vote margin, capped
an eight-month campaign by
CSEA Long Island Region I of-
ficers, organizers and fieldmen
to wrest control of the district
from SEIU, which had repre-

CSEA Spurns Affiliations

(Continued from Page 1)
to “any and all outside organiza-
tions,” not to any one in par-
ticular. He admitted, however,
that recent overtures from one
rival group, the American Fed-
eration of State, County and
Municipal Employees, proposing
@ merger with CSEA, had “cre-
ated considerable confusion with
our leaders at the local level and
made it desirable that we take
& positive position at this time.”

The APSCME effort to merge

had started about a year ago,

@ according to Dr. Wenzl, with ap-
proaches made to CSEA local
chapter officers asking to meet
with them and make presenta-
tions at chapter meetings.

“Members of our expansion
committee had made contact
with representatives of numer-
ous unions over the years.” Dr
Wenzl noted, “and this was in
keeping with their responsibility.
‘These contacts included meetings

e with APSCME officials, in which
T also took part on a couple of
occasions.

“Starting about a year ago,
however, the APSCME contacts
took a different direction. They
began to bypass our expansion
committee and approach our lo-
cal chapter officials, seeking to
present their merger proposal at
local membership meetings. This
personal approach was supple-
mented by costly mall appeals,

@at first imited to chapter offi-
cers and board members, but
more recently augmented to in-
clude our entire state employee
membership,” the union chief
said:

“At our delegates meeting in
Niagara Falls last October, AF-
SCME tried still another tack
They invited our delegates to be
thelr guests in hospitality rooms
at various local hotels, The idea,
of course, Was to arouse enough
interest among the delegates to
get a motion on the floor of the
convention calling for affilia-
tion, But the attempt fizsled
completely, The AFSCME issue
never really got any attention
at all in Niagara Palls.

“Barly this year, AFSCME be-
gan to go to the press with very
misleading statements, giving the
impression that it was getting

e comunitinents from various chap-
ters to vote for affiliation at the
| CSEA delegates ting * this
, March. Our leadership grew
Quite concerned when one AFS-

CME mailing to our members
flatly indicated that an affilia-
tion vote was actually scheduled
on the convention agenda,” Dr.
Wenzl commented.

“While insinuating it had re-
ceived appreciable expressions of
suport from our local chapters,
APSCME had really offered
nothing at all of tangible value
to our members, Whatever it
appeared to offer was deliberate-
ly vague and deceptive. AFSCME
said our members would pay no
additional dues for the first two
years of affiliation, At the same
time, it said that during that
perlod, CSEA would be assessed
$2.40 per month per member.
However it intended to get the
Money, the fact obviously was
that APSCME would get from
CSEA during a period of two
years a total of more than $12.5
million. This is our members’
money, whether it goes directly
from them in dues to AFSCME,
or whether APSCME gets it by
assessment from CSEA's central
treasury.

“For this amount, they say
CSEA will enjoy complete auton-
omy and all kinds of professional
ald from AFSCME’s vast staff,
not mentioning that that staff
is thinly spread all over the
United States, with proportion-
ately far less manpower available
in any one state than CSEA now
enjoys as an independent union
here in New York.”

Dr. Wenzl went on to point
to what he called a “totally in-
adequate” record on the part of
AFSCME in its representation of
employees of the City of New
York.

“Although APSCME claims all
kinds of superiority, we must
point out that New York City
employees still have a contribu-
tory pension plan. Although they
negotiated an improved pension
plan several years ago, they have
still not succeeded in implement~
ing it

"While they won permission
for an agency shop in their con-
tract, they have lacked the clout
to wet it enacted by the state
Legislature in Albany. They have
stood passively by, tolerating the
laying off of some 38,000 fellow
employees in New York City. In
addition to all of that, they have
‘wpparently resigned themselves
to three-year wage freeze.

“Certainly,” added Dr. Wenal,
“while the decision of our Board

of Directors does not rule out the
possibility of affiliation with
some organization at some time
in the future, if it were to come
about we would not look to
AFSCME unless it bad some-
thing vastly better to offer us
than it does at present.

“In any event, in view of the
decision of our Board of Direc-
tors, we will not continue to
consider affiliation with any one
under any circumstances for the
time being. Our slogan will fn-
deed be “Keep Your Indepen-
dence in 1976," We will, of
course, at the same time, make
all possible efforts to keep our
membership informed regarding
our position in this matter,” Dr.
Wenzl concluded.

Putnam Board, In Ruling,
Orders No Drinking Edict
(Of Anything!) On Job

CARMEL—If you work for Putnam County, and you

order a soft drink or milk to go along with your luncheon -

hamburger special, you'll be in defiance of one of the
strangest resolutions ever adopted by a county lawmaking

body.

The resolution, proposed by
Carmel Supervisor Thomas Ber-
gin, was passed unanimously by
the County Board of Supervisors
at its January meeting. It says:
“Any county employee caught
drinking during regular work
hours, overtime hours or at lunch
will be immediately dismissed.”

The Civil Service Employees
Assn., which represents about
300 Putnam County employees,
immediately went on record op-
posing the resolution, claiming
it ts illegal and unenforceable.
CSEA field representative Larry
Scanlon noted that, as presently
worded, the measure outlaws the
drinking of any bevernge at all.

Mr. Scanlon also pointed out
that the resolution contains no
provision for enforcement. “It is
not specified as to who will re-
port the violators. or who will
determine whether or not a per-
son has been drinking, and what
methods of determination will be
used,” he said.

Russell Cheney, president of
the Putnam County chapter of
the CSEA, added that the resolu-
tion is in violation of the state
Civil Service Law.

“The law provides that public
employees can be dismissed only
after written charges have been
filed and a hearing conducted on
those charges,” he said. “This
resolution is in direct conflict
with that law, in that it totafy
disregards the stated procedure
for dismissal of public em-
ployees.

“One reason the county em-
ployees reacted so strongly
against the resolution was that
the board has been stalling on
signing their new contract,
which would provide for a
safety committee to handle just
such problems as the board's
resolution was meant to solve,

“This joint labor-management
safety committee, which the
union has proposed, would

handle all matters relating to
safety on the job. It would cer-
tainly include drinking problems
within the area of its respon-
sibility If the supervisors would
only wake up and sign the con-
tract, we would be working to-
gether to solve the problem
right now,” Mr. Cheney pointed
out.

The Putnam County employees
have been working without a
contract since Jan. 1, 1975.

‘The drinking ban was proposed
after Board Chairman Joseph
Percacciolo alleged that he had
“heard many reports” of high-
way department employees “in-
dulging in alcoholic beverages
while on the job.”

Mr. Bergin sald the resolution
was intended to prevent the pos-
sibility of “a snow plow crashing
into a school bus,” but local ed-
itors, as well as union members,
pointed out that the measure
applies to all county employees,
not just those operating vehicles.
It also does nothing about a
worker who might drink heavily
before coming to work.

Mr. Scanlon said union mem-
bers are waiting to see if any
county officials would attempt to
enforce the resolution, which,
they said, the county's own at-
torney has referred to as “tl-
legal” and “unenforceable.”

What's Your Opinion

Lower Manhattan

OPINIONS

Walt Tompeshu, accountant: Yes, I think police
quotas do exist. On numerous
occasions I've read in the news-
paper that police quotas exist
the police are explicitly told to
bring in a certain amount of
tickets. I think the city is in
dire need of money and they're
doing everything possible to
acquire funds and this is one
of the ways of doing it, by ac-
tually setting up quotas and
giving out tickets. That's my
impression. It's not only the police, it's also these
civilian ticket people that are roaming the streets
and I notice that they have a very sharp eye and
I think that they also have quotas,

Richard Hoppin, photo supplier: “I definitely feel
that there is a quota system in
certain areas which I feel at
time is justifiable. I feel that a
lot of people don't get tickets
who deserve them, espectally in
this area, Therea re a lot of
cars parked here that make
truck deliveries impossible. But
you go into areas that are un-
derprivileged, depressed and
there are a lot of tickets given
out. But in areas where people
could afford to pay the fines they're completely
ignored.

Florence Daly, programmer: I don't think they
over-ticket. I rarely get a ticket.
I shouldn't say that. I might
get one tomorrow. I don't really
think a quota system does exist
In my experience I never heard
of anybody who felt they got a
ticket unnecessarily. When they
got a ticket, usually they did
something, I avoid driving into

versity at Buffalo appointed by Gov. Hugh L. Carey as head of the
Commission of Correction, defended the conduct of the agency
before a recent hearing before the Senate Committee on Crime and
Correction. The Senate group will pass on Mr. Schwartz's appoint-
@ ment. He has drawn fire from a number of organizations in the
state, including the Civil Service Employees Assn. and the New
York State Sheriffs’ Assn., because of a number of proposals to
liberalize rules in prisons. These include loosening visiting regula-
tions, restricting mail censorship, permitting prisoners to have
greater access to the news media and barring interference with
some religious beliefs and practices. In testimony before the Senate,
Mr. Schwartz stressed the proposals were merely tentative ones
subject to change following public hearings on them, He also said that
“misinformation” about the proposals was the cause of the criticism.

PILGRIM, CREEDMOOR
The State Department of Mental Hygiene has ruled that Creed-

to sereen transfer patients it may receive through a program in-

Brentwood. William Werner, Creedmoor director, sald the Queens
Village facility had agreed to accept in excess of 500 Pilgrim patients,
but would assess them only to admit “functioning” patients who
might be expected to be released into the community, with after-
care provisions, after a short stay. Morton Posner, executive director
of the Parents’ Organization for New York State Mental Institu-
tions, condemned the decision. “They'd be getting the cream of the
crop.” Mr. Posner said. “They don't have that option.” Mr, Posner's
@organization has received criticism from the Civil Service Employees
Assn., which represents many Pilgrim employees, as being uninformed

George Sable, Division of Human Rights examiner:

Either there is a quota system

ion as to whether or not there
is one is irrelevant to the fact.
If there is a quota, it is, of

mit all city service workers to

mit the reduction that Big MAC

Ending The Rumor

E DON’T know how the Civil Service Employees Assn.

could be more emphatic than it has been in laying to
rest the rumors that are being encouraged by the American
Federation of Siate, County and Municipal Employees about
a merger of the unions.

The CSEA Board of Directors even went so far at its
meeting earlier this month as to disband its expansion com-
mittee. This committee had been the official CSEA vehicle
to study the merger proposals of AFSCME and other unions
that through the years have been attempting to woo CSEA
and its 240,000 dues-paying members.

Although the expansion committee has since been re-
instituted, its revival is for the purpose of advising the union
in possible representation challenges.

The AFSCME campaign for affiliation with CSEA is an
excellent example, though, of how a rumor starts to seem
like fact if it is repeated often enough.

Consequently, a number of CSEA chapters throughout
the state have held, or have scheduled meetings, with
AFSCME representatives to find out what all the hullabaloo
is about.

To counter this, CSEA president Theodore C. Wenzl has
issued this week a very strong statement, explaining the
reasons for the CSEA rejection of the AFSCME bid.

We accept the decision of the CSEA leadership, becaust,
frankly we find AFSCME’s appeal to national prestige to be
beside the point.

CSEA’s business is here in New York State, and it has
been extraordinarily successful throughout its history in
representing public employees here. CSEA is the largest civil
service union in this state, and the largest independent
public employees group in the nation . . . so it must be doing
a lot of things right.

If it were to affiliate with AFSCME, it would then be-
come the largest jewel in the public-union crown—but it
would be a crown worn by someone else.

And what would CSEA get in return? The right to de-
liberate in the affairs of public employees in Hawali or
Illinois? And their privilege of interfering in the problems
of New York State?

Maybe more to the point woyld be the problems faced
when state and local government employees are asked to
come to the aid of members of the New York City AFSCME
unions.

There is no secret about the agony currently being suf-
fered by AFSCME members as a result of the City’s budget
crisis. If there were to be an affiliation between CSEA and
AFSCME, at what point would the CSEA members be called
upon to rescue the AFSCME wing of the joint union?

It reminds us of the plight that New York State now
finds itself in, because of its efforts to save the City from
default,

While CSEA members may feel sorry for the over-a-
Darrel plight of public employees in New York City, it does
not make sense to want to share that barrel.

For the time being, CSEA’s responsibility is to get the
best contract it can from the state in the current negotia-
tions.

All that the AFSCME wooing can succeed in doing at
the present time is to distract CSEA from concentrating on
its primary goals—job security and wage increases for its
members.

The rigid position of the Governor is enough of a chal-

Depression.

There are several assessments
of additional similarities between
the blackest periods of the
1930's and economic gloom of
the 1970's: But for public em-
ployees there are some disheart-
ening new twists.

Suffered Equally

When government and private
employment began to recede as
the Depression of the 1930's deep-
ened, workers in both areas suf-
fered about equally in terms of
Job losses and income reductions.
Today, workers in the private
sector have managed to remain
employed and also have managed
to continue bargaining for fur-
ther benefits, even though un-
employment might be increasing
’mong these people, Public em-
ployees, however, not only see
their long-touted job security
melting under the heat of fiscal
cutbacks but also find them-
selves stagnating in terms of any
financial enins made with mini-
mal cost-of-living increases,

One of the reasons civil ser-
vants in most governmental
bureaus are losing ground rap-
idly is because they lack a major
weapon developed in the private
sector during the 1930s—the
strike.

To date, the labor scene has
been generally peaceful because
a number of work contracts in
the private area such as the
auto industry and steel, among
others, are still in effect. You
can be certain, however, that the
strike will be used if needs be
to produce new economic gains
for employees, no matter what
the national state of the econ.
omy

Hid the right to strike been
available to efnployees of New
York City and State, current
budgets in both jurisdictions
might have included far more
serious considerations for public
employees than the prevailing
attitude of stay put.

A final result of the current
crunch could be permanent
adoption of the strike weapon.
Major labor leaders in the state
have, up until now, largely
stayed within the bounds of the
law—in other words, obeyed the
no-strike ban—But transit work-
ers, teachers, and sanitation
workers have ignored tt and
have walked off their jobs when
they felt progressive negotiations
were balked.

Not Always Successful

This is not to say that use of
the strike was always successful,
Recent teacher and sanitation
strikes went nowhere and talk of
a walkout by transit employees
is still a threat rather than an
actuality. Because of these poor
results, labor leaders of stature
such as Theodore C. Wenzl, who
heads the quarter of a million-
member Civil Service Employees
Assn., are caught in @ vise of
responsible leadership versus a
surging desire by their member-
ship to do something, such as a
strike, to alleviate frustration if
nothing else.

Public employees have been
pretty much made the goat as
the current economic crunch de-
veloped. A good deal of the
citizenry appeared to feel that
so-called high civil service pen-
sions and salaries were the major
cause of budget increases, A
major reaction by government
was to wield the firing and re-
Wenchment axes enthusiastically,
without uny apparent thought on.

Union Leave Time

An employee organization filed a charge of improper
practices against the public employer alleging that the em-
ployer unilaterally reduced the amount of paid leave time
granted to union executive board members for labor man-
agement activities. It was alleged that the aforesaid actions
violated Section 209-a (1)(d) of the Taylor Law. In its an-
swer, the public employer admitted that it reduced the
amount of authorized paid leave time. However, it inter-
posed several affirmative defenses: This matter was cov@
ered under the status quo provisions of the New York City
Collective Bargaining Law which prohibited New York City
from making any unilateral changes in working conditions
while the parties were in negotiations.

THE CITY ALSO admitted that five members of the
union executive board had been granted full-time paid re-
lease time for engaging in labor management activities and
four executive board members were granted part-time paid
velease time. On April 10, 1975, the union was notified by,
a deputy fire commissioner that the City's Office of Labo®
Relations had determined that no justification existed for
the five and four provision. The release time provisions
were revised to provide for three full-time and two part-time
assignments and two assignments for leave without pay.
The union, upon notice of this action, immediately objected
and demanded negotiations and that the action be rescinded.
The City did not negotiate and placed the new regulations
into practice.

THE PUBLIC Employment Relations Board has held in
recent cases that the subject of time off with pay to engag@®
in work on behalf of an employee organization is a man-
datory subject of negotiations under the Act. Since the same
holdings have come out of the New York City Collective
Bargaining Law, it is crystal clear that the subject of paid
release time is a mandatory subject of negotiations, and
PERB therefore held that the unilateral action during nego-
tations in reducing release time was a violation of the Tay-
lor Law unless any of the affirmative defenses interposed
by the City was held to be valid. The City argued that the
union had waived its right to negotiate over paid release
time on the grounds that an executive order had been iss
affirming the five and four release time formula and setting
forth certain forms and affidavits that had to be filled out
by the executive members,

THE BOARD MEMBERS and the union did not any way
protest the new forms, and therefore the City claimed that
the five and four was not granted under the executive order
rather than under a negotiated past practice, PERB rejected
this contention, stating that the union did not waive its
bargaining rights concerning the number and amount
paid leaves nor was it placed on notice, but conditions under
which leaves. would be granted had been so dramatically

altered by the pertinent execu-
tive order that its continued ac-
ceptance of the five and four and
acquiesence in the use of the
new time and activity reports
precluded it from thereafter ob-
jecting to any change in re-
lease time.

CITY FURTHER argued
Gy wer, ct attcemtive. Guten
that the union executive board
members had misused release
time in such a manner so as to
Justify the City's unilateral ac-
tion in altering the status quo
during negotiations. PERB point-
ed out that the issue before the
Board was whether the City vio-
lated the Act by failing to bar-
gain in good faith and not
whether release time was being

abused, It was pointed out by
PERB that if the City believed
the union was abusing the re-
lease time provisions of the ex-
ecutive order, it had adequate
remedies at its disposal either by
revoking their certification or to
initiate disciplinary action. Neith-
er of those things were done.
Accordingly, an order was rec-
omended that the city be ord-
ered to negotiate this matter in
good faith with the union, In

lie services.

To counterbalance this atti-
tude, the employee associations
have been waging a massive at-
tack on yovernment to demon-
strate that government, itself, is
the wastrel. One example is to
carry to the public word of the
degree to which legislatures treat
emselves to missive public
funds, either for themselves or
for pet projects. Included here
is the astonishing CSEA court
‘victory’ that produced a ruling
that it was unconstitutional for
state legislators to vote them-
selves flat sums of money in lieu
of expenses, the so-called “lulus.”

In the meantime, vital public
services have diminished to such
a point that the Employee Asso-

ciation is banking on the fact
that drastic decreases in such
areas as police and fire protec-
tion, garbage collection, hospital
care, etc. will finally wake up
the public to the idea that if
they wish to continue the good
life they have been used to, they
need a strong civil service corps
to suport it.

Eventually this approach will
probably work and a deeper a
preciation of the civil servants’
contribution to the American
Way of Life will come about to
the point where public employees
will be deemed people of stature
rather than feeders at the
trough. In the meantime, there
is growing evidence that the
rank-and-file public employee
has been too badgered by shrink-
ing paychecks and diminished

CIVIL SERVICE LEADER, Tuesday, February 24, 1976

WESTERN REGION MEETING

(From Leader Correspondent)

ROCHESTER—Theodore C. Wenzl, president of the Civil Service Employees Assn.,
warned union delegates here that a wildcat strike or other job action at this time would
hurt the CSEA cause despite apparent efforts by some members of the state administra-

tion to provoke such action.

“Without public suport and/or
support from within our own
ranks, a strike now is the very
last thing we should do,” Dr.
Wenz! said during an impromptu
talk at the winter meeting of
the union's Western Region VI
at the Sheraton Gateway Motel
here.

Despite the continuing threats
about layoffs and a wage freeze,
CSEA members should not allow
themselves to be goaded into a
rash job action during these
times of very severe fiscal re-
straints, Dr. Wenz] said.

“I cannot rule out the fact
that the current administration
attitude is one that may force
us to resort to drastic steps,” Dr.

William Crimm, president of Rochester Psychiatrie Center chapter Wenz! said, reminding the dele-

420, is attentive listener during discussion. His chapter had hosted
the meeting last month at the Sheraton Gateway Motel.

CSEA president Theodore C. Wenz, seated right, confers with several
of the highest ranking members of the union's statewide structure.
Seated next to Dr. Wenzl is CSEA vice-president Irving Flaumen-
baum, head of Long Island Region 1. Standing, from left, are CSEA
vice-president Robert Lattimer, head of Western Region VI; OSEA
executive vice-president William McGowan, and Long Island Region
I first vice-president Ralph Natale. All are members of the CSEA
Board of Directors.

gates of the “No Contract—No
Work" mandate voted at the
SEA Convention in Niagara

Falls last October.

“But it Is our duty to try to
reach a settlement through every
possible peaceful means first

whether that be by political
pressure, court actions or public
relations programs,” Dr. Wenzl
explained

‘The CSEA president made the
comments in reply to a question
by Rochester chapter president
Samuel Grossfield.

Mr. Grossfield had suggested
that “. .. maybe we should have
a work slowdown or a two-day
strike in the next week or two

to show our members that
we are not just accepting com-

placently the blows maint
down on us."

Dr. Wenzl replied that he
didn’t blame members for
“feeling so frustrated. I feel the
same way. I'm sorry the facts of
life are so grim and dreadful.

He said he and other top

CSEA officials are “working hard
to get meaningful negotiations.
But you can’t negotiate when
the chief executive of the state
wort't even listen to the side of
the biggest public employee
union in the state.”

But CSEA executives “are not
exactly being negligent under the
circumstances,” he said. “We're
effectively addressing ourselves
to lulus and the no-show jobs.”

Samuel Grossfield, president of Rochester chapter 012, urges decisive action “to show our members that
we are not just accepting complacently the blows raining down on us.” At left foreground is Ruth MeFee,
president of Rochester Area Retirees chapter 912.

“Maybe we'll warns

be next,”
Western Region VI president
Robert Lattimer as he under-
scores the threat to job security.

He said Governor Carey has
included in his budget $800,000
worth of lulus, extra pay state
legislators receive “in leu of”
salary increases, “while noglect-
ing the worker.”

Dr. Wenz! also referred to the
“tens of millions of dollars” in
waste and padded payrolls from
no-show and sekdom-show jobs
ich CSEA and Assemblyman
Andrew Stein, D-~- Manhattan,
attempting to expose.

“These are things the public
will suport us in fighting,” he
said. “We can show them that
there are ways to save money
without laying off the average
public employee and without
raising taxes.”

Dr. Wenzl said the conditions
of the Taylor Law “don’t fit a
situation like this when
times are tough for everybody.
But if the Taylor Law can wor!
only when times are good, tt
not a good law.”

However CSEA reacts, it is
“going to take @ lot of hard
thinking,” the president said
“All public and private unions
face the same situation, In New
York City, the AFL-CIO union
1s getting clobbered with layoffs
and pension and pay reductions,
if that’s any consolation.”

Dr. Wenzl said the press likes
to argue that most of the state'®
money problems are caused by
public employees

“So how do we get our story
out?” he asked. “It's a vexatious
problem. It couldn't be tougher.”

William Doyle, president of
Niagara County chapter, said
thousands of county and muni-
clpal employees are being laid
off, too.

“We feel it's not gettin
across to those concerned wit
state workers that the problems
are just as great in our 60 coun-
ties, where there are 15 or 20
entities in each county,” he said

Ironically, Mr. Doyle is one
of those whose job has been
abolished, and he has chosen re-
tirement

‘The 150 chapter presidents
and delegates at the meeting also
heard that two other longtime
public employees and CSEA of@
ficers, Sully Cook and George
DeLong, have been told their
jobs were abolished.

Region VI president Robert
Lattimer said: “This should be
food for thought for everyone
We should wake up because
maybe we'll be next,”

Mr. Lattimer said CSEA is “a
viable organization. We should
tell those klutzes who criticize us
about what goes on in this or.
ganization —about people likt

you, for example, who have come
through the cold and the snow
to be here on a Saturday after-
noon.”

Those attending the two-day
meeting spent more than an
hour during the Saturday after-
noon session discussing the pos-
sibility of affiliation with an-
other union.

“There would be two reasons
for affiliation,” said Victor Pesci,
chairman of the statewide ex-
pansion committee, One, he said,
would be to gain some ‘clout’
‘on @ national level and the other
would be to help combat mem-
bership challenges from AFL-
CIO-sponsored and other public
employee unions,

In any affiliation, he said.
CSEA must retain its autonomy
in New York because “this {s
our turf and we don’t want any-
one from another state telling
us what to do.

“We'd also want to know how
much it would cost. We want to
know if we'd be assessed for
problems somewhere else. We'd
also have to have spelled out
what service we'd get from a
national union.”

Mr. Doyle said dues could
double with an affiliation, He
said that CSEA might be better
off if its own dues were increased
$5 or $10 and that money were
used solely for political purposes.

Lee Frank, who has succeeded
James Powers as Western re-
gional sufpervisor, asked the offi-
clals to call him if there were
any problems with the field staff.
“Everybody has the right to an
answer,” he sald.

added Ms, Walker. The em-

tative, said “You are not going

Hecht, a chapter board
member, made a plea that the
members communicate immedi-
ately to chapter officers any

A union spokesman said that
{{ Dr. Friedman had not agreed
to the demands for negotiations,
the union was ready to file
charges of unfair labor practice
with the Public Employment Re-
lations Board in addition to fil-
ing individual grievances.

Remarking that in a crisis
situation the chapter came
through because of the show of
strength, Mr. Brier said, “If they
didn’t have respect for us be-

York “to make other states more attractive in the competition for manufacturing jobs,

often at our expense.

“New York Stute is severely
short - changed,” C6émmissioner
Dyson said, “in the outlay of
Federal funds, particularly in
those areas related either direct-
ly or Indirectly to economic de-
velopment.”

He pointed out to the commit-
tee that “New York has tradi-
tionally contributed more than
its share of Federal taxes and re-
celved far less than its fair
share of Federal spending. This
redistribution of wealth from
richer states to the poorer states
may have been equitable and in
the national interest at one
time. The long-range effect of
this policy, however, has been
discriminatory against New York
and the other industrialized
states, It is interesting to note
that seven of the ten states with
the lowest per capita state and
local taxes receive a higher pro-
portion of Federal outlays than
they contribute in the form of
Pederal taxes.

“Thus, the conclusion ts in-
escapable that the Federal gov-
ernment is subsidizing low taxes
in these states and using our

Pointing out areas of discrim-
ination against New York State
in the distribution of Federal
funds for public works, rural
facilities, recreational facilities
and transportation, Commission-
er Dyson said:

“Despite the fact that New
York has serious economic prob-
lems, is losing industry and jobs
to other states, and is forced
partly by circumstances beyond
its control to impose a stagger-
ing State and local tax burden
on its citizens, we are Still being
short-changed by the Federal
government when it comes to
availability of funds to assist and

promote economic development.
This Is partly because the etatu-
tory grant allocation formulas
for many problems favor small
states over large states and rural
areas over urban areas.

“It ts essential that New York's
congressional delegation form an
alliance with the delegations
from other urban states to pre-
vent this from happening in the
future. Falr and equitable treat-
ment in the allocation of funds
must be our price for supporting
new programs and extending ex-

isting programs in the Congress.
Furthermore, where allocation of
funds is flexible enough to re-
ward initiative, State and local
agencies must pursue these funds
as aggressively as possible, so
that we can say that we have
not lost a single dollar of Fed-
eral assistance because of lack
of effort. Through these means,
T believe that eventually we can
correct the present imbalance
and end the Federal discrimine-
tion against New York State.”

MAJESTIC THEATRE 247 west 441m 5) - 246-0730:
° REPORT TO THE PEOPLE OF NEWYORK CITY
AND WESTCHESTER COUNTY

by Charles F Luce Chairman of the Board Consolidated Edison Company of New York, Inc.

In 1975 Con Edison
achieved many goals
we had set for ourselves
when we began pub-
“ lishing these annual
“Reports to the Peo-
ple” eight years ago:

+ Our electric system
operated more efficient-
ly than in any year in
the Companys history
© For the first year since 1963 there were
no system-wide voltage reductions
(“brownouts’*).

@Local service interruptions were the
fewest since 1967; average restoration
time was the shortest since 1968.

@Our billing accuracy, telephone ser
vice, and district office service all im-
proved greatly. Evidence of these im
provements was a sharp drop in total cus:
tomer complaints and an even sharper
drop in complaints pending at year end
from 23,685 in 1974 to 3,798 in 1975

@Qur commitment to being a good
corporate citizen was strengthened by con.
tinuing gains in, for example, minority
employment and purchases from minority
vendors,

For our stockholders, too. we have good
news: increased earnings that recently
permitted an increase in the quarterly div
idend to 40 cents. But this is still below the
45-cemt dividend paid from 1965 until
April 1974

Contributing to the better performance
of the Con Edison system was an invest
ment of $3,65 billion in new facilities over
the past eight years. and an improved pre
ventive maintenance program that in-
creases reliability and efficiency through
out our system, Also contributing was the
hard work and dedication of employees
determined to make Con Edison the best
run utility in the country

Energy Costs Still Rising

The bad news was higher prices for all
forms of energy. Recently the PSC
granted increases in both steam and gas
rates. Though electric rates have remained
almost constant since late 1974, we have
pending before the PSC a request for an
increase to become effective next month

Requests for higher rates are necessary

because of: 1) the cost increases we are ex-

periencing, especially ip taxes, and 2) the
necessity of improving earnings so that
our stockholders can earn a fair return and
our securities can be sold in the capital
markets as that becomes necessary to
finance new facilities.

Where Does the Money Go?

sohiat oe
? .

Two items —fuel and taxes — account
for almost 60 percent of the cost of eles
tricity to our customers. Wages and
suluries account for valy 12 percent

H we reduced the operating payroll by
50 percent. and all other costs wei Mi
catly held constant, electric billy would be
reduwed by only about 6 percent. (Since
1930 we have reduced the number of
employees trom about 50,000 tw 2
while our sales of electricity increused

cightiold — from 4 t 32 billion kilowatt:

hours.)

This does not mean that we will cease to
strive for greater efticiensy: on the com
trary, we will stress efficneeney more than

“AU Dils without sates taers These are average bets

Nagi-

ever, We should not, however, kid our:

selves, of others, that savings resulting
from greater manpower efficiency can
prevent increases in electric bills in the
face of continuing high fuel costs, high
taxes, and inflation

‘An independent, in-depth study of our
Company, conducted by the A. D. Little
Company under the direction of the PSC,
concluded in April 1975 that, “The [Con
Edison] system is, by and large. operated
effectively with the limited capital avail-
able for new plant and system reintorce-
ment’ and that ‘there is lithe within di-
rect control of management that would
reduce fates to customers significantly or
do much to limit the size and frequency of
future rate increases.”

169.7%.

Sum@iOn MMlars in aC Service area

Can Electric Bills be
Reduced?

If the upward pressure on nutes is to be
reduced in any substantial way. the costs
of fuel and taxes must be brought down,

There are significant ways to reduce the
cost of fuel and taxes, each of which lies
outside the control of our Company, and
can be accomplished only by regulatory or
legislative action. For example, the’ fol-
lowing steps, for each of which there is
precedent elsewhere, could have saved
our consumers more than $400 million last
year

© By switching to fuel oil with sulfur
content used by power plants in Roches.
ter, Albany, and throughout Florida (a fuel
that would not adversely affect public
health) we could save our customers
'$60-70 million per year

‘@ By burning coal at Ravenswood and
Arthur Kill, we could save approximately
an additional $45-50 million per year for
our customers, and still, we believe, not
adversely affect public health or sig-
nificantly impair the cleanliness of New
York's air. Coal is burned by utilities in
such cities as Detroit, Chicago, and Jersey
City

© By exempting utility bills from state
and city sales taxes — as they are in Con-
necticut and New Jersey — our customers
would save more than SISO million per
year

®@ By repealing the gross receipts tax
levied only against utilities, and replacing
it with the same corporation tax as levied
against other businesses, our customers
‘would save about $130 million a year, This
more equitable form of taxation is used by
such neighboring states ay Massachusetts
and Vermont

@By taxing our property like that of
other industrial companies, our customers
would save about $48 million a year

We know it may be unrealistic to expect
tax relief in today’s economic climate.
Nonetheless, we must point out that taxes

id by our customers — through utility

ills — are three w five times higher than
those paid by utility customers elsewhere

Tax 975
Taxes other than Federal income Taxes

This very unequal tax burden. over
which we have no control, increases our
bills and makes it appear that utility costs
here are much higher than they actually are
—thus further adding to New York's cur-
rent problems in attracting and retaining
businesses.

Future Energy Supplies

The demand for electricity has not
grown in the past several years. and we
will continue to encourage the conserva-
tion of all forms of energy. However, we
believe it necessary and prudent to plan for
the energy growth that is necessury if the
New York metropolitan ares is to be
economically healthy

Because of long lead times required for
new-energy supplies, planning of neces:
sity must be long-range, For example. it
takes at least 12 years to license and con
struct a nuclear power plant, and about &
years to license und construct 4 coal-fired
plant. And even if the exple process
for Atlantic offshore natural gas could
begin tomorrow. it would be $ te 7 years
before any gay discovered could be
brought to shore

Pursuant (o policies, we have supported.
long-range planning for future supplies of
electricity iy now being done on a state:
wide basis, and in close cooperation with
the PSC which holds public hearings to re-
ceive comments on the plans, To a sig
nificant extent. the same is true of gas
planning

*Electricity

Plans filed with the PSC show that four
major new projects important to energy
supply in New York City and Westchester
County are scheduled for construction by
the Power Authority of the State of New
York by 1985. They are a coal-fired plant
‘on Staten Island: a nuclear plant and a hy
droelectric pumped-storage plant in
Greene County: and # major transmission
link with Canada,

‘Output from these facilities is to be used
by governmental customers in our service
territory. with part of the output to be
available for distribution to our general
customers.

Alter 1985, baseload power planning
for the New York metropolitan urea, as
well us the rest of the state, focuses on the
hew generating company. Empire State
Power Resources, Inc. (ESPRI), formed
by the states seven investor-owned
utilities.

oGas

Gas supply is the most immediate
energy resource problem facing our Com-
pany and its customers,

fe have contracts with pipeline com:
panies for more than enough gas for all our
customers. However, deliveries by our
pipeline suppliers have been curtailed w
the point where 1975 deliveries were about
40 percent below contruct amounts.

Like most Northeustern gas dis-
tributom, we thus cannot accept applica
tions for new gay service. To protect our
existing customers. this prohibition will
continue until additional supplies are as
sured

Based on estimates. by our suppliers,
gas deliveries may be reduced to where we
could be unable to supply all firm custom-
ers in 1978 if the winter of 1977-1978 is ex-
tremely cold, By 1983, without new gas
supplies, it appears we will be unable to
supply ull firm customers, even if the
winter iy relatively mild. To try to prevent
this from happening, we ure making
numerous efforts 10 continue to supply our
existing customers’ requirements, und
recommence offering service to new cus:
tomers. These eflonts include:

@ Our new LNG (liquefied natural gas)
tank at Astorist, Queens, which increased
by | billion cubic feet our ability to store
oltspeak gas for periods of high demand

@ Drilling ventures with other gas dis-
inibution Companies to search for new guy
supplies.

@A proposed SNG (synthetic natural
gas) plant —te convert nuphtha into gay —
rom which we may be obtuining supple-
‘mental gas supplies

@New storage contracts which allow us
to store excess “summer gas” in depleted
wells for use during peak winter periods

@ We have also supported. as being in
our customers’ best interest, deregulation
of the price of “’new gus'*: exploration for
oil and gas believed to lie under the Attan-
tic Outer Continental Shell: and programs
to produce pipeline quality gas from coal

Steam

New rate schedules for our large steam
customers will encourage them to reduce
peak usage. Thus we expect to have
enough steam capacity to meet customers’
needs until 1979 vr 1980.

In planning for the post: 1980 period, we
ate looking into the possibility of steam
plants that would use garbage tor a prinei-
pal fuel supply. Such facilities would pro
Vide a partial solution to the City's very
serious refuse disposal problem, reduce
Con Edison's use of fuct oil, and provide
badly needed jobs.

ed that, with fuel ott at
makes more sense
. by extracting enet
from it than it does to bury it in land-fills or
incinerate it with no by-product benetit
Further we believe we could design plants
to do this that would not pollute the air

Research and Development

To find better ways of producing,
transmitting and distributing energy. we
are committed to a strong R&D effort at
the local, state and national levels. These
efforts include projects looking into the
next century, such us nuclear fusion and
solar clevtrivity

The largest high voltage direct current
(HVDC) transmission research project in
the nation is being built at our Astoria
complex. This project will be used to test
equipment which could carry high voltage
power into densely developed areas such
as New York City

Astoria, we hope, will also be the site
for the first full-scule test of a fuel cell
generating unit. Along with nine other
utilities, we are participating in a $42-
million fuct cell development program. If
the program succeeds. non-polluting and
highly efticient fuel cells could become
part of Con Edison’s generating system,

National Energy Policy

The planning and R&D efforts of one
utility. or even of all utilities, cunnot alone
solve the nation’s energy problems. What
iy needed. and se far lacking, is a com
Ppechensive national energy progeam that
will make our country independent of
foreign energy supplies, Such a program
must both conserve energy and develop
new domestic energy resources.

Greater use of nuclear power must be an
important part of our nation’s near-term
and intermediate-term efforts to achieve
energy sell-sufficiency, Not only is nu-
clear power clean, sale and produced by
domestic tuel, it ts also economical.

For example, operation of our nuclear
= at Indian Point saved our customers

122 million in fuel and related tax co
1975 by reducing oil consumption by
nearly 10 million barrels. The total cost of
electricity produced ut this unit, including
cupital costs, was only (woethirds the cost
of electricity produced at our mast modern
fired plants,

In Conclusion

We take pride in the improvements
made by Con Edison in the past eight years
— particularly in system pertormance and
SuMomer service ans. At the same
time we are seriously concerned about the
incfeasing costs of energy. the shortage of
natural gay, and the nation’s increasing
dependence on foreign oil. In the year
head we will continue to do whatever we
cwn to Contribute to solutions to these prob:
fem.

Firefighters’
Problems Explored
In New Publication

BOSTON, MASS.—The sec-
ond edition of “Legal In-
sight,” a compilation of court
decisions affecting firefight-
ers has been published by the
National Pire Protection Assn.

Reviewing in layman's lan-
guage some 80 legal cases, at-
torney H. Newcomb Morse offers
practical guidance for fire chiefs
and officers, labor-union repre-
sentatives, municipal attorneys
and administrators, as well as
fire - science course instructors

cases are included in this sec-
ond edition dealing with such
topics as forced retirement, fire
fighter disabilities, moonlighting,
holiday pay, and free speech.

The second edition also has
new chapter on progenitor laws—
those state regulations that orig-
inally granted fire fighters the
right to organize and engage in
fire fighting

$5.50 each from the NFPA Pub-
lication Sales Department, 470

‘Whitewash’ Charge Is Repea

In Willowbrook Patient's Death

STATEN ISLAND—Officials of the Civil Service Employees Assn. appeared before an
Assembly Committee recently to reiterate previous charges of “whitewash” by Willowbrook
Developmental Center administrators in the recent death-of a resident.

The hearing, held at the Staten Island Community College, was chaired by Assem-

blywoman Elizabeth Connelly
(D-Richmond).

The committee has scheduled
hearings to investigate the cir-
cumstances surrounding the
death last December of Luis Ra-
mirez who was found on the
grounds of the institution after
being missing for five days.

‘Though no foul play was in-
volved, the investigation was
started when it was reported
that top administrators were not
aware for four days that the
resident was missing. Willow-
brook officials shortly thereafter
suspended four lower grade em-
ployees.

CSEA ‘Not Mute’

Randolph V. Jacobs of CSEA
New York City Region II's pub-
lic relations staff, presenting the
union’s argument, told the com-
mittee that “the CSEA was not
about to sit by mute and see
these employees penalized, while
no action was taken against
Grade 38 chiefs of service who
were on call during the period.”

Mr. Jacobs said that the em-
ployees responded properly and
according to procedure when,
upon finding Mr, Ramirez miss-
ing, they immediately notified
the security guard, the local
police precinct, the grounds su-
pervisor and the resident's par-
ents. Additionally, a record of
the missing resident was made
in the log book

Charging that Stanley Slaw-
insky, the then-acting director,
was attempting to make “patsies”
of the employees, Mr. Jacobs said
that the suspensions were “an
obvious move to whitewash the
negligence of the administra-
tion in not having an effective
communication s

Tt is the union’s contention
that had such a system existed
the administrators would have
been aware of the missing resi-
dent and a search immediately
ordered

Mr. Jacobs that CSEA
hopes that the committee, in its
report, “will address itself to
management responsibility in
this tragic matter,” and stated

that procedures should be de-
veloped that are clearly under-
stood by the employees.
Ronnie Smith, president of the
C8EA chapter at Willowbrook
and Felton King, first vice-
president, also spoke at the

hearing.

The union officers were ques-
toned at length by the commit-
tee members principally along
the lines as to what steps should
be taken to avold a similar in-
cident

seven years.

Organizer Pat Morano and
fieldman Joe Sanchez, with as-
sistance fram state organizers,
were credited with the victory
by field supervisor Ed Cleary.

“This win represents a lot of
hard work on behalf of the CSEA
staff. Of course, SEIU made it
easier for us by their poor ser-
vice, lack of representation, ex-
cessive dues and the sweetheart
contract they had with the ad-

ministration,”

CSEA won the right to repre-
sent blue collar workers from
SEIU on Jan. 15 in the Franklin
Square school district, and on
Jan. 30 picked up the white col-
lar workers in the Saville School
district in another election win
over SEIU.

St. Lawrence Legislature
OK’s 6% Hike, Increment

CANTON—A 6 percent salary increase plus increment
is provided county Civil Service Employees Assn. employees
under a fact-finder's recommendations accepted by the St

Lawrence County Legislature

Included in the two-year pack~
age is a wage reopener in the
second year and a guarantee of
three hours’ minimum callback
pay for highway department em-
ployees,

Garnar V. Walsh was the Pub-
lic Employment Relations Board
fact- finder.

CBEA is expected to meet in
the near future to act on the
recommendations; their accept-
ance would constitute a contract

In his report, the fact-finder
recommended that employees’
lunch hours remain unchanged
He rejected the county's request
that employees’ hours be in-
creased. They now work &
35-hour week ten months
of the year and # 30-hour
week July and August, The

county suggested 374% hours a
month and 30 hours during the
summer, Mr. Walsh rejected a
CSEA request for longevity in-
creases at 15 and 20 years; rec-
ommended no increase in the
present 14 cents-a-mile vehicle
use compensation and rejected an
inerease in hospitalization bene-
fits. CSEA employees now have
100 percent coverage for them~-
selves, 75 percent for family
They requested 100 and 90 per-
cent respectively

In rejecting the County's re-
quest for an increase in em-
ployees' hours, the fact-finder
said he took such action because
the county had falled to show
evidence that the present sched~
ule works @ hardship on the citi-
wens of the county

have been “Doing what
please, but no longer.”

He said that CSEA is going to
court, obtaining show cause ord-
ers and making the employer
prove that a layoff “or what-
ever is legal.”

Mr. Moxley said the first case
at the center involved the illegal
dismissal of a staff worker. The
result was that the center was
ordered to reinstate the em-
ployee and pay her full back
bay, plus 6 percent interest.

they

The second case involved the
attempted illegal dismissal of
about a dozen center employees.
Here, CSEA stepped in and the
center was ordered to retain the
employees until it could produce
legal and legitimate reasons for
a layoff

Are Back On

ted Nassau-CSEA Pact Talks

The Tracks;

Flaumenbaum Blasts Caso

MINEOLA — Contract negotiations between Nassau
County and the Civil Service Emplovees Assn. were in full
swing again last week after a delay of almost two months
caused by the resignation of a fact-finder.

Teams from the county and the
union met in four full sessions
with fact-finder Herbert J. Marx,
who replaced Harold Pryor who
resigned due to ill health. Under
discussion were salary demands,
the cost of living and compara-
tive labor settlements in Nassau
County, Irving Flaumenbaum,
chapter president and chief of
CSEA Long Island Region I,
called for a solid showing of
unity by all employees for their
negotiating team.

“We are dealing with an un-
scrupulous and devious politician
who refused to bargain in good
faith, who is trying to negotiate
a contract in the newspapers and
through public appearances and
we have to show him and the
public that we believe that the
facts, not public relations stunts,
will justify our position,” Mr.

Flaumenbaum said in reference

to Nassau County Executive
Ralph G. Caso.

Mr. Flaumenbaum said that
the CSEA negotiating team is
proceeding through the steps of
the Taylor Law, “And will not
be sidetracked by Mr. Caso’s an-
ties,” Mr. Caso has been threat-
ening layoffs in recent speeches
and has imposed a wage freeze
in the county.

CSEA is also countering the
county on the legal front. Mr.
Flaumenbaum reports that the
union has initiated a number of
legal actions against Nassau in-
cluding a lawsuit on behalf of
employees making over $25,000,
to force the county to pay them
withheld salary increases and
an action to set aside the Coun-
ty’s refusal to pay increments
for people hired after Nov. 30
during the last two years.

Syracuse Health Center Is Stopped

According to Mr. Moxley, the
most recent incident occurred
when the center fired its main-
tenance staff and subcontracted
work. The was taken to
binding arbitration. The center
was ordered to reinstate the em-
ployees and the employees re-
ceived half the pay they lost.

Mr. Moxley said that the cen-

ter repeatedly tried to commit
illegal acts and it was turned

“Because the chapter peo-
ple worked together with the field
staff and the CSEA attorneys.”
He added, “What was really im-
portant was that the chapter peo-
ple realized that by working with
and through the union, the un-

jon was effective.”
