Oneida CSEA, County Reach
Accord On Three-Year Pact
Providing 14% Wage Increase
UTICA—The Oneida County chapter of the Civil Service
Employees Assn. has reached a tentative agreement with
the County negotiating team on a three-year contract with
total wage increases coming to 14 percent over a three-year
period.
The agreement, which was
hammered out in secret negoti-
ating sessions, also includes a
$300 minimum raise in each of
the three years. The talks began
within hours after CSEA pickets,
led by Statewide president Theo-
dore C. Wenzl, marched outside
the Oneida County Office Build-
ing.
The County chapter will vote
on the agreement Dec, 29, and
the Board of Legislators for
Oneida will take a vote the fol-
lowing day. Members of both ne-
gotiating teams predict easy pas-
sage.
The agreement came two days
before a “super-conciliation” ses-

wing of the State Public Employ-
ment Relations Board. The pro-
posal agreed on ~-as presented by
the chairman of the County
Board of Legislators, russell ~7il-
liams, who told the negotiating
committee that he has the votes
to get it through the Board.
Evidently, the determining fac-
tor in reaching an accord was
the length of the contract.
Sources on the County team said
the Board of Legislators wanted
to get a long-term agreement on
te books. If both the CSEA
chapter and the Board of Legis-
lators approve, the pact will go
into effect Jan. 1. Some 1,300
employees will be affected by the
pact.

sequences of monumental tech-
nological and inventive progress.
‘The consequences were encap-
sulated in the fact that the
sparkling waters of the Hud-
son River, at its source in Lake
‘Tear in the Clouds, high in the
Adirondacks, became a cesspool
on emptying into the Upper New
York Bay.
@Just a few short weeks be-
fore the beginning of the 13th
year of the regime, the legions
of Governor Rockefeller, re-
nowned for their disciplined val-
or, successfully turned back an
attempt by two forces, separate-
ly led by contending leaders, to
capture the Executive Chamber
in Albany, the Empire capital
city. In an act of unusual grace
for those times, instead of be-
heading the pretenders to the
seat of the mighty, the conquer-
ing Rockefeller exiled the two
leaders, the one to the Babel of
the Bar and the other to the
Cloisters of Academe. The popu-
lace of the Empire State hailed
this act of magnanimity by the
Governor in his moment of tri-
umph.
Yet even while the sounds and
voices of the victory celebration
were their loudest, the darkling
shadows of internal dissension
and external conflict cast a pall
of gloom over the Empire State.
A people totally unprepared for
such bad tidings was uncere-
moniously informed that the
Empire coffers were vacant. This
intelligence generated grave mis-
givings among the people, who
had long been alarmed by the
growing burden of taxation by

Civil Service
An alternative proposal to re-
fill the coffers by saddling a
greater and more disproportion-
ate burden on the civil service
employees of the State predict-
ably aroused the ire and resent-
ment of that portion of the
population.
It éurther became known
after the first flush of victory
that a majority of the Gover-
nor’s councilors in the State
Senate and Assembly shared
their allegiance to the Gover-
nor with a defecting group as-
sembled under the banner of
the Conservative Party. Gover-
nor Rockefeller was hopeful that
his chief lieutenants among the
councilors, Assembly Speaker
Perry B. Duryea and Senate Ma-
jority Leader Earl W. Brydges
would successfully contain those
councilors of divided allegiance,
An additional factor that dis-
turbed the Rockefeller regime
was the continued presence in
Albany of Senate Minority Lead-
er Joseph Zaretzki and Assem-
bly Minority Leader Stanley
Steingut who, having quickly re-
covered from the wounds of
their defeat, were already reas-
sembling their forces for an-
other of those wars that quad-
rennially disturbed the peace
and tranquility of the Empire.

banded together in a common
complaint about the bareness
of their cupboards and demand-
ed that Governor Rockefeller
provide them with greater fi-
nancial assistance. All of this
at a time when the Empire's:
treasury was lacking in suffi-
cient green for its own needs
and purposes.
Moreover, it further appeared
that the satraps in the Empire
State of its 62 counties and
cities, of its more than 900
towns, of its more than 500 vil-
lages, and of its more than 700
local school boards were, like
the Six Big Cities, similarly
faced with mounting costs, de-
pleted treasuries, dissatisfied civil
service employees and irate tax-
payers.
In some of the more signifi-
cant satrapies of the State, an
unusual decline in opportunities
and availabilities of remunera-
tive employment, imposed even
further burdens on the ex-
chequers of those municipalities.
These burdens resulted from the
obligation of those municipali-
ties to feed, clothe, house and
to provide medical care for the
families of those who had been
bereft of gainful employment.
Looking To Washington
In response to these internal
pressures, Governor Rockefeller
turned outward toward external
matters, with the hope that con-
cern with such matters would
still the voices of dissonance
within the Empire State. He
complained to President Richard
M. Nixon that the Empire State
was compelled to éurnish a dis-
proportionate amount of trib-
ute to the Federal government.
According to statistics com-
piled by the Governor’s audi-
tors and accountants, the Em-
pire State received back from
Washington only 11 cents for
each dollar of tribute extracted
from the State by the Federal
authorities. In contrast the Gov-
ernor’s statistics showed that
Arkansas received $5 of Fed-
eral aid for each tax dollar tak-
en from that State,
‘Thus, the Governor sought to
shift a measure of responsibility
to the Federal government of
the ills that afflicted the Empire
State. At the beginning of the
13th year of his reign, Gov. Nel-
son A. Rockefeller was faced
with a wide variety of problems
in order to provide the services
deserved by a population that
embraced the most civilized por-
tion of mankind and inhabited
the fairest part of the earth.

(The views expressed in this column are those of the writer and do
not necessarily constitute the views of this newspaper.)
Deciding Priorities Realistically
LOOKING BACK through 1970, it appears that “priori-
ties’ was this year’s key word in our national dialogue.
President Nixon has called for a redefinition of our national
priorities; special interest groups have demanded a reorder=
ing of our national priorities; the word has appeared with
increasing frequency in newspapers, magazines, speeches
and television commentaries throughout the year.
WHAT THIS signifies, I think, is a growing realization
on the part of all of us that we just do not have enough
money to do everything we want to do all the time; if we
want to have item A, we will have to make do with less of
item B. During this next decade, therefore, we will have to
make some hard national choices. If Mayor Lindsay’s dire
warnings concerning the City’s financial condition are ac-
curate, we will have to make some equally hard local choices,
IN RECENT years, the demands on City services, with
respect to both quantity and quality, have grown explo-
sively. To cite only the most obvious, the City has been
called upon to provide more and better housing; more and
better economic opportunities; more and better medical
care; more and better facilities for the elderly, the poor,
the disadvantaged minorities and the embattled middle

One Tioga County Pact Settled
With Two Others At Impasse
By WALT ADAMS
OWEGO—Tioga County Civil Service Employees Assn. officials are continuing their
efforts to secure equitable work contracts for municipal employees on two fronts after
reporting success on a third.
The success resulted in a new 1971 contract for Tioga County employees, Tioga
County CSEA president George
Soblack said the new pact re-
duces the work day from nine to
eight hours, effective Jan. 1,
with a minimum starting wage
for new employees unchanged at
$2.20 an hour, Current employees
will receive a pay increase of 35
cents an hour.
Progress in the Towns of Owe-
go and Candor, however, is at a
virtual standstill with Sobiack
preparing to file unfair labor
practice charges against negotia-
tors in both areas.
Soblack sald the Town of
Candor is “not the least bit in-
terested in negotiating any fur-
ther. They have,” he said, “an-
nounced plans already to imple-
ment an arbitrary work program
without benefit of valid contract
contrary to all provisions of the
Taylor Law.”
Amazed
The County union president
said he was “amazed at the
Town Board's position in that
all possibilities toward a settle-
ment have not yet been consider-
ed, including an offer of binding
arbitration.”
The package included in the
CSEA demands include provi-
sions similar to a plan already
accepted by a much smaller
municipality, the Town of Rich-
ford, which has only four em-
ployees within the local CSEA
unitg—a 100 percent membership
at that.
That package, according to
Soblack, called for the Town
to pick up the balance of reti
ment costs, a pay increase of 25
cents an hour each year of the
two-year agreement, more holi~
days and an improved vacation
plan and other benefit changes.
The final agreement resulted
in the Town of Richford picking
up the additional cost of the
balance of the retirement plan,
25 cents an hour each year of
the two-year pact, one additional
holiday and slightly improved
vacation arrangements.
Sobiack said the Town of
Candor has rejected fact-finding,
a judicial hearing or mediation
and is now rejecting negotia-
tions, despite the faci that the
same basic package is being of-
fered. A fact-finder’s report for
the Town of Candor recommend-
ed that the Town pick up the
retirement plan and offer a 15-
cent increase during the first
year of the accord and 20 cents
an hour in the second year. The
fact-finder made no other rec-
ommendations.
Owego Problems
Soblack also charged the
Town of Owego with negotiating
in bad faith and says he intends
to file unfair labor practice
charges against the Town.
The CSEA unit there has
asked for a one-year contract
including a 30-cents-an-hour in-
crease for all employees, an in-
crease of 25 cents an hour for
laborers, 20 cents an hour for
truck drivers and 15 cents an
hour for equipment operators on
the beginning rate of each clas-
sification. In addition, overtime
would be paid on the basis of
time-and-one-half for additional
hours worked during the week
and at double-time on Sundays
and holidays, Employees working
Union Town Board
Sign CSEA Pact
UNION—Town of Union Civil
Service Employees Assn. officials
have signed a new work con-
tract with the Town for 1971.
The contract calls for a seven
percent wage increase for all
Town employees in addition to
an increase in life insurance and
other fringe benefits.
Negotiations for the new con-
tract also call for changes in
the vacation schedules and @
pay study to be implemented by
the Union Town Board no later
than Feb. 1, 1971,
on a regular night shift would
be paid & differential of 20 cents
an hour. An employee called to
work during other than his regu-
lar hours and after he has gone
home would be paid a minimum
of four hours’ pay. There would
also be a probationary period of
three months with an automatic
25 cents an hour pay increase
at the end of this period. Pay
periods would be established on
a two-week basis with paydays
falling on Thursdays. Highway
department employees would be
treated as though they were
“classified employees” under
Civil Service Law. Job. advance-
ment would be made on the
basis of seniority, provided the
employee is capable of perform-
ing the more responsible duties
of a higher position. Holidays
would be increased to 13 per
year. Vacation time would be
allowed to accumulate to a maxi-
mum of three years’ eligible va-
cation time. Each employee
would be allowed five days of
personal leave per year. Sick
leave penalties as now practiced
for casual days of illness would
be abolished. Life insurance in
the amount of $5,000 would be
provided for all employees, And,
uniforms would be provided and
maintained for each employee
by the Town of Owego.
Findings Rejected
Sobiack said the Town of Owe-
go has insisted that the 16 cents-
per-hour pay hike offered was
adequate and rejected binding
arbitration on the grounds that
the Town Board would be re-
linquishing its obligation to the
taxpayer. The Board also reject-
ed the f'idings of a three-man
Judicial Committee, headed by
George Penney of Apalachin.
Sobiack said the Town's poste
tion is “ridiculous,” The Town,
he sald, did agree to informal
mictings with employees but

Entrance-level salaries are on the rise for those ap-
pointed to a pair of State titles in the Narcotic Aftercare
Program. If you’re hired at the trainee II level, for example,
you'll start off at $9,531; those chosen for narcotic parole
officer openings, meanwhile,
can look forward to earning
$10,959-13,249.
In the main, the program con-
centrates on detoxification of the
addict as well as “physical and
mental build-up, team evalua-
tion and specialized treatment
such as methadone mainte-
nance.”
The exam, given frequently,
covers these relevant areas: so-
cial casework, community re-
sources, human behavior, social
work problems and similar sub-
jects. A careful reading of Job
Bulletin No. 20-130, available at
any State Civil Service Dept.
unit, offers a broad description
of job responsibilities.

ous-entry basis, the vacancies

clally acceptable behavior. Work

Correction Aide Posts
The constant challenge confronting State correction
officers as they seek to fulfill their responsibility to aid
in the rehabilitation of inmates, explains the State, neces-
sitates certain criteria for hiring. Good character, as dem-
onstrated in school and on pre-
vious jobs, is therefore import-
ant.
Sound physical strength is an-
other major consideration, as the
ability to command respect is
essential to effectiveness. A rig-
orous physical exam awaits all
candidates to prove they are
“free from all physical and men-
tal defects” that might otherwise
impair their work. Alert hearing
and vision are necessary. Age
eligibility extends from 21 to 37
upon appointment.
Minimum weight and height
criteria have been listed: you
must measure at least 5 ft., 8 in.,
in bare feet and weigh no less
than 145 lbs., with weight in pro-
Portion to height. Good moral
character is emphasized, also,
explaining that “conviction of a
felony, misdemeanor or other
violation of the law or a his-
tory of mental illness may bar
examination and appointment.”
Four locations have been des-
ignated as centers for periodie
testing. They are Attica Prison
in Attica; Auburn Prison in Au-
burn; Great Meadow Institution
in Comstock, and Sing Sing in
Ossining.
Aside from the medical exam,
®@ written test will be adminis-
tered to gauge the skills’ and
abilities of correction job can-
didates. The test will seek to
learn whether you have: good
judgment in the correction field;
capacity to prepare written re-
ports, and knowledge to inter-
pret written material. The test
is not considered very difficult
for most high school graduates.
The salary range is $7,375 to
$9,040; further, an additional
boost is scheduled to take effect
in April 1971, amounting to six
percent over the current sum.
The bulletin for this title indi-
cates that three separate but
closely associated titles are in-
cluded: correction officer, cor-
rection hospital officer and cor-
rection youth camp officer.

Happy New Year?
CCORDING ‘to most official announcements from
Mayor Lindsay and Governor Rockefeller, public em-
ployees in this State face one of their bleakest years since
Depression days. Headlines have been full of dire pro-
nouncements of job freezes, cutbacks in expenditures and
belt tightening to an extraordinary degree.
Yet 1971 need not be a grim year if civil servants will
screw their courage to the sticking point and persist in
forcing government to abandon some fiscal follies—such
as over-ambitious building schemes—and statr paring down
on outside expenditures, not on employee services.
As a first step, we propose that both the State and local
governments review contracts given to private industry to
see whether or not spending in this area is both efficient
and/or necessary. We know for a fact that millions of dol-
lars are lost every year through sloppy work, poor materials,
etc. Second, we insist that current programs involving
human needs take place over all other programs. Governor
Rockefeller last week assured the Civil Service Employees
Assn, that the “best interests” of both employees and
citizens would be protected. The best assurance that this will
be so is to place full emphasis on providing adequate per-
sonnel to protect those interests.
It then follows that the civil servants who perform
these priority tasks must not be overburdened by excessive
workloads nor must their working efficiency be impaired
further by demoralization from any freeze on deserved
promotions.
There has been too much frenzy and too little fact
about just what all these freezes will mean to both civil
servants and the public at large. Let us hope that 1971
will start with a precise clarification from both the City
and the State on what the future will bring in terms of
governmental responsibility toward the citizens of this State.
Happy New Year? We hope so,
&
Social Security Questions & Answers
Medicare recipients who enter
hospitals in January will be re-
sponsible for the first $60 of their
bills, which now run about $750
for the average stay. Benefi-
elaries of Medicare haye been
paying a $52 deductible, which
will remain {n effect for the re=
mainder of 1970.
Hyman H. Siegel, district man-
ager of Social Security, said,
“The increase 1s mandatory un-
der the law. It is the result of
the long-term upward trend in
hospital costs and, in part, of
course, the general inflation.”
The law requires annual review
of hospital costs under Medicare
and an adjustment of the por-
tion of the bill for which a Medi-
care beneficiary 1s responsible, if
these costs have risen substan-
tally,
If the deductible amount
changes, the law also requires
comparable changes in the dollar
amounts that a Medicare bene-
ficlary pays toward a hospital
stay of more than 60 days, or a
Post-hospital extended care stay
of more than 20 days.
When a recipient has a stay of
more than 60 days, he will pay
$15 a day for the 61st through
the 90th, up from the present
$13 per day. If a stay exceeds 20
days in an extended care facil-
ity, he must pay $7.50 a day
toward the cost of the 21st day
through the 100th day, up from
the present $6.50 a day.
If he needs to draw on his
“lifetime reserve,” the reserve of
hospital days a beneficiary can
draw upon if he ever needs more
than 90 days of hospital care in
the same benefit period, he will
pay $30 for each day used, in-
stead of the present $26 per day,

Civil Service
Law & You
By RICHARD GABA
Mr. Gaba is a member of the New York State Bar and chair-
man of the Labor Law Committee of the Nassau County Bar Assn.
Appointment Roulette
EVERY SO often a judge is confronted with a case in
which all of the equities, all of the moral arguments and
all of the arguments in favor of justice weigh heavily on
the side of one party. Nevertheless, the judge feels con-
strained to decide the case against him in accordance with
the law as it exists. One such case was recently decided in
the New York County Supreme Court.
A PROMOTIONAL examination had been conducted
by the Civil Service Dept. for a vacancy in the competitive
class of the classified civil service. Of the several persons
listed as successful applicants, the petitioner in this case
was first on the eligible list. After the eligibles were can-_
vassed for the vacant position, it turned out that No. 1 and
No. 2 on the list would accept the position; that No. 3 and
No. 4 were not willing to accept the position, and that No.
5 was willing to accept the position.
AT THAT moment in time, No. 5 was serving in an ex-
empt position, higher in title and salary grade than the
vacant position in question. Based upon the civil service
“one-out-of-three rule,” (Section 61.1, Civil Service Law),
the appointing authority selected the individual who was
fifth on the list since based on the declination of No. 3 and
No. 4, he was now reachable for appointment.
NO SOONER was he appointed to the vacant competi-
tive title, however, than he applied for and was granted a
leave of absence to resume serving in his exempt position.
The movement created a temporary vacancy in the very
same competitive position which had just been filled by
No. 5.
THAT MADE No. 6 reachable for appointment and he
was promoted on a contingent, permanent basis, pursuant
to Rule 4.11 of the Rules of the Civil Service Dept. One
of the questions presented to the Supreme Court in petition-
er’s proceeding under Article 78 to set aside the permanent
promotional appointment and the contingent permanent
appointment was whether it violates the spirit and purpose
of the Civil Service Law to appoint on a permanent basis to
a competitive position, one who is not ready, willing and
prepared to perform the duties of the position upon such
appointment. The Court, while denying the relief request-
ed by petitioner, stated its answer to that question in the
affirmative.
THE COURT stated: “The effect of the mechanics em-
ployed ... seems to frustrate the very purpose for which
the examination was given, namely, to fill an existing
vacancy. While showing colorable compliance with the
Civil Service Law, the State agency has apparently evaded
its provisions by acting merely to reward . . . without re-
gard to properly filling the vacancy. There is no question
that the appointing authority has the right pursuant to
Section 61 of the Civil Service Law to select ‘one of the three
persons ,.. standing highest on such eligible list,’ but the
section goes on to say that they must be ‘willing to accept
such appointment or promotion,’
“THE LATTER, as applied to the factual situation pre-
sented here, means that the party picked must be willing
at the time of the appointment to perform the duties of
‘his new title.”
THE COURT observed that an examination of the eyi-
dence indisputably showed that the appointee (No. 5) was
not to work in his new competitive title, and that the ap-
pointing authority knew it. The Court continued: “To fur-
ther compound the evasion of the Civil Service Law, a man
who had been serving as a provisional was given a tempor-
ary appointment to continue him in the same capacity
that he had been serving as a provisional. Since he could not
be retained as a provisional, or reappointed as one, (see Sec,
65 of the Civil Service Law), Section 64 was employed.
“THE EFFECT of the course followed was to permit a
man who was unreachable on the eligible list at the time
to have indefinite benefits of promotion, thereby depriving
either of the first two who were both ready, willing and able
to assume the job from being selected,” The Supreme Court
decision was unanimously affirmed by the Appelate Division
without opinion (Procopio vy. McDonnell),

Why do we recognize Blue Shield?
Because they know what they’re doing.
Blue Shield for physician’s charges is the one plan that makes sense. Blue
Shield invented the whole idea of prepayment for medical and surgical
services and over the past 25 years they've worked out the problems with
experience. They've cut red tape to a minimum which means their oper-
ating costs are probably the lowest in the business.
Another thing. Blue Shield is non-profit. And while others are too, Blue
Shield benefits are the realistic, important benefits that spell the difference
between worry-free recovery and financial hardship.
Over 97% of the physicians in New York participate in Blue Shield. In
fact, nearly that number cover their own families with Blue Shield. If there
was a better plan — you know that we would have it.
But the fact is. There isn’t.

Vow Backing For CSEA’s Firm
Stand Against State Job Freeze

delegates and conference officers before
(From Leader Correspondent)
meeting begins. Others, from left, are:
Helene Callahan, Charles J. Ecker, Floyd
Peashey, Irene Carr and Joanna Weed.
SYRACUSE—“Stop wasting millions of dollars on unneeded and badly planned” pro-
Rets, and “give the money to the workers where its needed.”
That’s the feeling of delegates to a special meeting of the Civil Service Employees
Assn.’s Central Conference, who met last week to voice their opinions on Governor Rocke-
feller’s “cut-back” order which
would force dropping of provi-
sional and temporary State
workers.
The delegates, cited example
after example of “wasting
money” at various State institu-
tions as they criticized the Gov-
pnor’s order to department
ieads.
They voted to back CSEA’s
State president, Dr. Theodore C.
Wenzl, “in any action he thinks
he should take” to combat
Rockefeller’s directive to depart-
ment heads, which also would
force freezing personnel vacan-
cies and promotions and elimin-
ating new programs or expan-
sions, even if approved.
“We have to back him all the
yay,”” pointed out one delegate,
t we don't, we're licked as an
organization. We have to go the
Umit.”
Another added: “We have to.
This thing is not going to stop
here. Even the county people
are going to get hurt if this con-
tinues. We have to have their
support, too.”
Clarence Laufer, president of
the Syracuse State School chap-
é made the motion for the
Solution supporting Wenal, “in
whatever steps he has to take,
any action he thinks he should
take, to show we're behind him.”
Wenzl, who attended the
meeting in the Randolph House
near Syracuse, told the delegates
that Rockefeller has refused to
meet with him to discuss per-
sonally the order, but has asked
continually that Wenzl talk with
i Levine, director of the
‘te's Office of Employee Rela~
tions. (For later Rockefeller re-
ply, see story on Page 1.)
CSEA’s contract with the
State provides, he said, that
directly between representatives
of CSEA and the Governor.
After Wenzl left, one delegate
mentioned the possibility of “a
work stoppage” if the Governor
continued to refuse to see the
CSEA president.
Wenzl said he will resume his
efforts to see Rockefeller and
asked for “your support for my
actions.”
The 28 delegates at the three-
hour meeting were unanimous,
too, in their charges that the
State “is wasting more money”
on its various projects than will
be saved through the “cut-back”
order issued earlier this month.
Some also said that the super-
visory and department heads,
“the big shots,” have taken the
order “as their bible.”

waste in State projects and

half of a group of Islip Town
recreation aides who had been
fined and placed on probation
last Spring.
Fourteen women employees

Implement Hike In Pay
For Fed. Clerk Posts
There is a new starting salary in effect for those hired
as general clerks aboard the U.S. Government -bandwagon
—$4,621 per year. The wage increase has been implemented,
as part of a revised across-the-board boost designed to re-
eruit quality personnel to the
ranks of Federal service.
Candidates are invited to take
& relatively easy written test of
one hour, covering verbal and
clerical abilities. General require-
ments and conditions of employ-
ment are spelled out in USCSC
Pamphlet No. 4, “Working for
the U.S.A.,” available at the
local job information center —
X-Ray Techs
Professional licensure is
among the requirements for
x-ray technician, says the
State, regardless of whether
you apply for the senior or
principal title. The first begins
at $8,170 whereas the second
offers $9,701. A $200 geographi-
cal differential, also, is tagged
onto the pay of those State aides
employed in the New York met-
ropolitan area.
As far as experience goes, the
State waits two years of ex-
posure to “diagnostic x-ray ap-
paratus and its auxiliary equip-
ment,” with an additional year
to compete for the principal
title. Subject to a Jan. 25 dead-
line, candidates will be asked to
take a written test. They can
expect questions on radiographic
exposures, special radiology pro-
cedures, care and troubleshoot-
ing of equipment, human ana-
tomy and electrical and radia-
tion physics.
Openings, it was noted, exist
with the State Health Dept. and
the State University. At present,
the primary need is at the
Downstate Medical Center in
Brooklyn, but other vacancies
are anticipated during the life
of the established list.
It war stressed that candi-
dates who have not obtained
their licenses» at the time the
eligible list is created will not
have their names placed on that
list until the State Civil Service
Dept. is notified that licensure
is complete. However, this in no
way affects your ability to take
the actual exam, even though
hiring may be deferred.
The State Civil Service Dept.
maintains regional offices in Al-
bany, Buffalo, Rochester and

be expedited. Exam bulletins can

’' tlons, too.

“WE ARE EXPOSING them to

“WITHOUT ANY INTENT to

Several State
Titles Link
Eligibility To Year Of Exp.
Among its sizeable roster of continuous-filing titles, the
State of New York has some that require only a year of
experience. Positions so indicated include public health
dental hygienist, inhalation
computer programmer.
For the hygienist title, sought
are the license plus graduation
from an approved dental hy-
giene school as well. As far as
experience {1s concerned either
a public health or school health
setting {s acceptable. Alternates
for these $6,575 posts: a bache-
lor's in dental hygiene, one year
of graduate training in public
health or eligibility for a teach-
ing certificate in this area,
Inhalation therapists, who
make $5,871 to start, need their
“in the full-time administration
of inhalation services including
treatment to patients”; another
“must” 4s eligibility for reg-
istration with the professional
inhalation therapy group, Com-
pletion of applicable courses
may also prove okay.
Positions as steam fireman,
paying $5,871, are offered to
males only and are frequently
located in State colleges and in-
stitutions and hospitals. Re-
quirements here show several
combinations, but basically you
will need a year dealing with
high pressure boilers or auxi-
Mary steam lines and equipment.
Added to that should be a sec-
ond year in the operation of
boilers or two years in the
mechanical or electrical trades;
however, graduation in engin-
eering technology from a two-
year college or technical in-
stitute will be considered the
equivalent.
If you have had one year in
the field of computer program-
therapist, steam fireman and
ming, you might want to file
for the $8,284 programmer
title. Other options for eligibil-
ity: an associate’s degree in
data processing or a BS in com-
puter science. Those within eight
months of receiving either of
these degrees may file to com-
pete, also.
As a result of successful nego-
tiations between the State and
Civil Service Employees Assn.,
a pay raise is in prospect. It
is slated for April 1971, increas-
ing current scales by six per-
cent. A $200 metropolitan
New York City differential,
added to per annum salary,
stays in effect.
New York City residents want-
ing more data on any of the
listed titles can obtain same at
the State Civil Service Dept.,
1350 Ave. of the Americas, New
York 10019, Others should con-
tact the Department's regional
units in Albany, Buffalo or
Syracuse, by mail or in person.

class, and more and better protection for all citizens. And
it is clear that these demands are increasing with every
passing year.
IF IT IS a fact that the City is unable to provide all
of these services to the extent that they are desired, it is
equally clear that we will have to choose among them and
establish an order of priority that will provide the maxi-
mum benefit to the greatest number of people. By any
realistic measurement, law enforcement must be seen as
the only foundation that makes all other services possible,
THE STEADY GROWTH of crime in New York is too
well known to need elaboration. What needs to be empha-
sized again and again, however, is that unless the ravages
of crime are tightly controlled, all other City services
become meaningless. It is futile to build better schools if
teachers are mercilessly beaten in the classrooms, and nar-
cotics are peddled to children in the corridors; it is tragic
to providé health care for the elderly, if they are mugged
and murdered in the streets; it is hopeless to provide eco-
nomic opportunity for the disadvantaged, if the fruits of
their labor are stolen from their homes. If New York is
indeed short of funds, then what funds there are must first
be used to insure maximum protection for all of the citizens
all of the time, by affording adequate inducements to com-
petent men aspiring to a career in law enforcement, and by
providing them with the most up-to-date crime-fighting
tools. Only by assuring a climate of safety can the City
prosper sufficiently to provide all other vital services; only
by enjoying a measure of physical security can our citizens
benefit from those other services,
IN THE CONTRACT negotiations which are now in
progress, I hope the Administration will remain aware that
the very survival of our community may depend upon an
intelligent application of these priorities. If they do, per-
haps we may look forward to a New Year of growing sta-
bility, orderly progress and genuine achievement.

CIVIL SERVICE LEADER, Tuesday, December 29, 19
State Test Procedures
Sharply Criticized By
Rating & Exam. Comm.
(From Leader Correspondent)
ROCHESTER — Inequalities in administering oral and
written Civil Service examinations were sharply criticized
by members of the Civil Service Employees Assn.’s work per-
formance ratings and examinations committee this month,
‘The criticism came i. a meet-
ing with top officials of the State
Department of Civil Service at
Albany, arranged after four
years of continuous attempts by
CSEA, according to Samuel
Grossfield of Rochester, commit-
tee chairman.
Demanding that the contents
of written and oral examinations
be revised, the committee point-
ed out that the ever-increasing
mortality rate among examina-
tion takers each year clear
proves that examination ques-
tions are becoming more and
more irrelevant
Want Key Answers
The committee proposed that
the policy permitting New York
City employees to make records
of answers they make on exams
and the permission they receive
to compare these answers. with
the correct answers at the time
of pre-rating be put into effect
for local and State employees
across the State.
Members of the CSEA commit-
tee also questioned the qualifi-
cations of people serving on the
oral examination boards and
proposed that the duration of
the oral examination period be
doubled from its present span
of one-half to three-quarters of
an hour.
‘The ever-increasing use of oral
examinations, contrary to what
was promised five years ago,
when State officials promised
that these exams would be
sharply curtailed, also
strongly condemned.
Adminis*rative Leave
Committee members also took
exception to the scheduling of
written examinations on Satur-
days and the requirement that
employees must take several ex-
aminations on the same day.
“We want these examinations
to be scheduled on different days
of the week, Monday through
Friday, with administrative time
off for any employee who takes
an exam,” said Grossfield.
was
Trouble In Tioga
(Continued from Page 3)
that these meetings would be
more designed to attempt recon-
cillation rather than negotiation
Sobiack said CSEA unit mem-
bers picketed the offices of Owe-
go “own Supervisor Charles Hill
over a period of several days to
press their demands for an equit-
able settlement. The picketing
was withdrawn whe. the 53-
year-old supervisor was injured
S a result of an automobile ac-
eldent and hospitalized,
Sobiack said, however, that
CSEA members plan to resume
picketing of the office of all
Town Board members in the
near future if efforts are nat
made in good falth to come to
terms fairly,
At present, there have been
no new developments toward a
settlement.
Sobiack said unfalr labor prac-
tice charges are in the process
of being drawn up for filing with
the Public Employment Rela-
He said the CSEA committee
also was critical of the way the
State Civil Service Commission
and the Department of Civil Ser-
vice were “playing footsie” with
the merit system and the par-
tiality shown certain groups of
employees by modification ir
Tules and regulations,
“We don’t object to the merit
system,” Grossfield said, “but we
do object to tampering with it.
The State should be safeguard-
ing the system, not playing fast
and loose with it.”
Futur Sessions
Time ran out before the com-
mittee could discuss work per-
formance atin: appeals on
written examinations and ratings
appeals. But Grossfield said this
t laid the ground-
work for another meeting in
January when these matters will
be discussed.
“And we'll be looking then for
answers to the questions
raised at the first meeting,”
added
Joining Grossfield at the meet-
ing were Daniel Conway, Depart-
ent of Markets; Jacob Rohloff,
Department of Motor Vehicles;
Nichard Tollhurst, Department
of Law, and Frank Sanders, De-
partment of Tax and Finance.
Grossfield also is president of
the CSEA’s Rochester chapter.
Representing the Department
of Civil Service were John Moon-
ey assistant director; Robert
Quinn, deputy director; Carl
Tremer, assistant director of re-
cruitment and exams; Donald
Etler, chief of recruitment and
exams, and Al Putzig, principal
personnel examiner.

Substitution of the Rochester

Nassau’s 12,000-plus employees
will receive boosts of 7.1 percent
in the first payroll of 1971, but
the fate of an additional one-

Over the strong objections of
CSEA regional attorney Richard

Wachtler adjourned the case un-

CSEA Meeting With Binghamton
SUNY Officials To Discuss Pact
(From Leader Correspondent)
BINGHAMTON—The new, special Civil Service Employees Assn, chapter of Faculty-
employees on the campus of the State University of New York at Bing-
hamton have met to discuss recent proposals made by university vice-president for busin@«
Student Assn.
and finance, Edward Demske.
Unit president Patricia Doug-
her said in a statement accom-
panying a report of the meeting
that the unit was “pleased to see
that the FSA 1s finally taking
an active interest in the food
division employees at the uni-
versity.”
According to the report for
submission to Demske, the unit.
rejected outright the proposed 10
cents per hour increase for all
sal.ried, hourly employees (ex-
cluding students) because the
unit feels this action is nothing
more than a “union-busting tac-
tic designed to split the stu-
dents and workers.” The unit is
contending the student employ-
ees should share in any increase
in view of the fact that FSA
managers already bencfit.
‘The unit also declared that the
proposal was suggestive of “a
Yellow Dog Contract” to food
service workers and asserted that
the proposed increase for the
year is “an insult to the food
service personnel.”
The ‘unit also rejected the
second FSA resolution calling for
the absorption of the entire cost
of a Blue Cross/Blue Shield rate
increase scheduled to go into
effect Jan. 1, 1971, The rejection
of this second proposal was
based, according to the report,
on the grounds that only ap-
proximately 12 percent of the
food service employees would
benefit by this proposal which is,
the statement continued, a
measure requiring very little
eeting
overnor Urg
Lay Groundwork For Talk:
ith Lavine
Prior to the new shift arrange-
ment, virtually all enjployees in
each County residency worked a
‘egular ¢>y assignment and were
called in on overtime during
snow emergencies. {What this
order has done,” said Wenzl, “is
to reduce the day wprk force by
75 percent, severely restri ing
its effectiveness during heavy
traffic periods.
“These crews arp responsible
for plowing :‘l Inferstate roads
and for salting and sanding of
all other State highways.
“The State has gontracts with
‘he various County highway de-
labor, trouble or expense to the
PSA. The report added that the
unit felt the proposal was of
little consequence to the remain-
ing 88 percent of the FSA em-
ployees who would not benefit
by the absorption of cost and
characterized the offer as little
more than a useless “paper bene-
fit.”
The third resolution, calling
for meetings with FSA employees
and officials, ~vas also rejected
by the unit on the grounds that
such meetings would be a waste
of time. The unit contends that
the sessions would not do any-
one eny good because topics per-

Board against the FSA in con-
nection with last October’s un=
successful representation election
could not be discussed at the
sessions. This, the report said,
would make it virtually impos-
sible to discuss many grievances
and problems with the proposed
five-man hearing panel because
many of the situations pers
to the October election. In
dition, no employeees of the
Faculty-Student Assn. were in-
cluded on the hearing panel
which consists of three adminis-
tration representatives and two
students.
The report concluded by ask=
ing if the Association was trying
deliberately to make Caudads out
of the workers.
The CSEA is seeking a ni
representation election alleging
the October balloting was con-
ducted illegally with FSA _offi-
cials intimidating, threatening
and coercing pro-CSEA employ-
ees into voting against represen-
tation.
‘The CSEA lost that election by
three votes.
The special CSEA chapter was
formed recently to protect mem-
bers from administrative repris-
als because of pro-CSEA activ-@)
ity.
