CSEA’s Longest Fight Wins
PS&T Employee's Job, Pay

BRONX—The Civil Service Employees Assn.
pay and benefits for a member of the Professional, Scientific and Technical
Unit suspended without pay on Sept. 16, 1976, from his job as Psychiatrist II at Bronx
Psychiatric Center. The victory followed the longest disciplinary arbitration in CSEA his-

tory.

At the time of the suspension,
Hugh Butts, director of Bronx
Psychiatric, alleged that Amjed
Hussain was wrong in allowing
the transfer of a particular pa-
tient from the intensive care unit
of which Dr. Hussain was in
charge, to another ward in the
hospital. The patient committed
suicide 17 days after the transfer.

“The charges against Dr. Hus-
sain were an attempt by Dr.
Butts to cover up for the in-
competence of the Department
of Mental Hygiene,” said Tom
Linden, CSEA's coordinator of
legal services,

Dr. Hussain immediately filed
a contract grievance and, Wil-
lam P. Volin, then-CSEA region-
al attorney with the firm of

Mailman and Volin, supported.

The case, Mr. Linden said,
showed “not only how far CSEA
will go in defense of its mem-
bers, but also how far the state
will go in trying to find a scape-
goat for its own mistakes.”

The case involved, among
other things:

Willowbrook Taskforce
Appointed By Region Il

MANHATTAN—Metropolitan Region II of the Civil Ser-
vice Employees Assn. last week passed a resolution calling
for a taskforce to investigate the layoff situation at Wil-
lowbrook Developmental Center, and the general problem

of contracting out and deinstitu-
tionalization in the Mental Hy-
giene system,

Regional president Solomon
Bendet appointed a committee
composed of the Mental Hygiene
Local presidents, with Regional
first vice-president William De-
Martino as chairman.

Mr. Bendet indicated that he
would ask the statewide CSEA

Board of Directors to allocate
funds, “to help fight the disin-
tegration of Willowbrook.”

The Region also passed a res-
olution opposing proposed
changes in the CSEA constitution
which would permit the union
to represent private employees
working for firms with which the
state contracts out.

Bargaining

Saratoga Springs
Bus Drivers Win:

SARATOGA SPRINGS—A nine-day strike by Saratoga
Springs school bus drivers has ended with the unanimous
ratification of a contract that the Civil Service Employees
Assn., which represents the drivers and mechanics involved,

calls “a complete and total vic-
tory for the employees that puts
school boards all across the state
on notice that contracting out of
bus service is a poor proposition
loaded with pitfalls.”

The approximately 65 drivers
and mechanics voted to strike
the night of Sept. 19 and imme-
diately set up picket lines around
the Saratoga City School District
bus garage. The determined
strikers kept the line up 24-hours
a day for the next nine days,
keeping all school district buses
idle in a school district of 7,000
pupils, the vast majority of which
normally are bused.

The complicated situation de-
veloped when the school district
violated a two-year contract be-
tween the CSEA and the district
on July 1 by eliminating the

drivers and mechanics from dis-
trict employment and contracted
out busing service to a private
contractor, Upstate Transit Con-
sortium of Rochester. The CSEA
contract still had a year to run
when it was dissolved by the dis-
trict.

The employees were hired by
Upstate, but drivers and me-
chanics found they were being
paid an average of 50-cents-per-
hour less than when they were
district employees under the
CSEA contract. Additionally,
they had no contract of any
type with Upstate, and became
increasingly alarmed over job se-
curity when Alvin Skellie, a me-
chanic, was fired almost imme-
diately by Upstate for union-

pointed head of the newly es-
tablished civil rights division of
the PBA, said the division was
set up because of a “definite in-
crease in totally false and fraud-
ulent complaints against police
officers.”

Although he would not detail
any complaints he reviewed or
name the officers involved, he
estimated that more than 100
“patently false" complaints
against officers are filed each
year, many of them dealing with
Police brutality, theft of prop-
erty from suspects, and indis-
criminate ticket writing.

“We feel that some of these

are prompted by an individual
arrest by an offjcer who feels
free to file a complaint in order
to destroy the credibility of that
officer in court,” sald Mr. Arn-
jotes, a former Civil Court judge
who previously managed the
PBA's legal assistance program.
He explained the PBA usually
took no action on false com-
plaints filed against its members
with the Civilian Complaint Re-
view Board and other official
agencies, “and our silence was
seen as verification of the al-
legations.”

State's 4 Percent Raises Due This Month *

By MARVIN BAXLEY

All state employees in the
four Bargaining Units may
expect pay raises this month
if they were on the payrotl
March 31. This includes persons
who were promoted since then.

In attempting to answer some
questions concerning the 4 per-
cent pay hike due state employ-
ees this month, other questions
were raised in the Leader article
that appeared in the Sept, 23.
1977, edition of the paper.

Some specific answers appear
in the Letters to the Editor col-
umn in this issue on Page 7.

Here we will attempt to pro-
vide additional information in
reaction to telephone inquiries to
the previous article.

To begin with, the people af-
fected are those state employees
who are included within the four
Bargaining Units represented by
the Civil Service Employees
Assn, These Bargaining Units are
Administrative Services, Institu-
tional Services, Operational Ser-
vices and Professional-Scientific-
‘Technical (PST).

In addition, Judicial employees
are on the same time schedule
and have a similar contract. By
Judicial employees, however, we

mean people such as represented
in Court of Claims Local 694 in
Albany as well as certain other
locations in New York City, Not
included are Judicial employees
who were merged into the Cen-
tral Court Administration effec-
tive last April 1. These merged
Judicial workers are covered by
existing local contracts that were
ratified prior to April 1.

For the record, it should also
be stated that the term “state
employees” within the framework
of this article does not include
Authorities, Armories or uni-
formed personnel of the Division
of State Police, who are covered
separately.

Another qualification to deter-
mine eligibility for the 4 percent
pay raise this month is that the
employee must have been on the
payroll as of March 31, 1977. All
employees on the payroll now
and those hired up to March 31,
1978, will be eligible for the final
5 percent pay raise to be effec-
tive April 1, 1978.

The 4 percent is based on an
individual's salary as of April
1, 1977, The 5 percent increase
next year will be based on the
Person's individual salary as of
March 31, 1978, plus increment

on April 1, 1978, if eligible to re-
ceive the increment.

For those persons who have
accepted promotions and were
approved prior to Sept. 30 last
week, the 4 percent raise will be
based on the lower grade salary
that was in effect April 1, 1977.
Next year's 5 percent will be
based on the higher grade pro-
motion salary in effect on April
1, 1978.

CSEA director of research
William Blom explained that
everyone, including those per-
sons at the top of their lower
grade salary, may expect to im-
prove their income status. Those
persons who were making more
money at the lower grade than
the starting salary of the higher
grade promotion title are covered
by a formula that gives them a
‘one-step increment above their
current salary.

As @ specific example that was
worked out in response to one
telephone inquiry, Mr. Blom
noted that a Grade 3 employee

became $7,776, since a $305 in-
crement of the higher grade was
also added. On Oct. 1 the person

Break Ground For Psych Center
Addition After Joint Effort

OGDENSBURG—Civil Service Employees Assn. officials at the local, region and state
level recently participated in a ground-breaking ceremony for construction of the $18.5 mil-
Non addition to the St. Lawrence Psychiatric Center here.

The project, centering on a new 304-bed facility, represents the first major con-

struction at the hospital in 40
years, and also the first adult
residential construction since
1898. The facility, which will
eventually house the entire hos-
pital, will give residents more+
privacy than the present struc-
tures, which contain many large
wards.

Representing the CSEA, whose
Local 423 membership includes a
wide segment of employees at the

psychiatric center, were Local
president George McCarthy; Cen-
tral Region V president James
Moore and CSEA statewide pres-
ident William McGowan. About
400 people attended the cere-
mony. There were 11 ground-
breakers—an attempt to recog-
nize all those who had a hand
in getting the project approved.

center, said the building project
was proof of what can be ac-~
complished through the joint ef-
fort of the community, health
care and legislative leaders. Other
speakers included Robert A. Mc-
Kinley, first deputy commission-
er of the Department of Mental
Hygiene; Ogdensburg Mayor Jo-
seph D. Denny; State Senator H.
Douglas Barclay, and Charles W.
Kelly, chairman of Project

labor, political and health offi-
clals who successfully pushed for
construction of the multi-mil-

At the ceremony, Mr, McCarthy
said, in part: “We are breaking

work of many people, Governor
Carey promised to support this
building. But Governor Carey was
unable to accomplish this alone.
Some people did not see the
need for this new building, I am
proud that it was this chapter
of the CSEA that launched the
campaign to help the Governor

Reserve Decision On Wenzl Protest

ALBANY — State Supreme Court Justice
John Pennock has reserved decision in the
lawsuit brought by former Civil Service Em-
ployees Assn. president Theodore C, Wenz)
seeking a manual] recount of ballots that
were counted by computer in the election
of statewide CSEA officers held last sum-
mer, Dr. Wenzl lost his re-election bid by
38 votes to William L. McGowan.

Dr. Wenzl, represented by Albany attorney
Edward Bookstein, is maintaining
printing errors occurred during the prepara~
tion of the election ballots that could have
resulted in confusion as to which hole cor-
responded to which candidate's name, The

that

ballots were of the punch-card type that
can be counted by computer,

At the recent hearing held before Judge
Pennock during State Supreme Court special
term, CSEA Counsel.James Roemer asked
for dismissal of Dr, Wenazl’s suit on the
grounds that a proper protest was not filed
before the previously agreed-to cut-off date,

Although the Supreme Court Justice has
reserved decision, he continued an order
directing the data processing firm that con-
ducted the original election to “preserve all
election materials in viable condition pend-
ing resolution of the case,”

became eligible for an additional
$400 as a result of the contract
agreement. If the promotion were
not effective until after Oct. 1,
there would be no additional in-
crease until next April.
Without the promotion, the
person would have been making
$7,871; with the promotion the
person's salary is $8,171, The 5
percent raise next year will be
based on the $8,171 figure.
Again, remember that we are
writing this to simplify the ex-
planation. We are using the
terms “4 percent” and “5 per-
cent,” although for employees
whose salaries are less than $10,-
000 the increases are given as flat
amounts, $400 and $500, which
are greater than the percentage
figures. Over $10,000, the per-
centage figures are worth more.
Some confusion developed
from our article's effort to ex-

until the employee has been in
that grade for 10 years.

A grade 2 tops the minimum
of $6,000 in the third year and
$6,500 in the fifth year, Mr.
Blom noted. No employees from
Grade 3 or above should receive
jess than the full $400, if they
were on payroll April 1, 1977.

As a result of our explaining
the situation for these lower
grades, some people were led to
believe that the increases were
based on the starting salaries for
each grade. This is not so. The
increases are based on the indi-
vidual’s actual salary, including
increments, (But remember, this
month's raises are based on the
actual salary as of April 1, 1977.)

Similarly, persons who were
promoted since March 31 are not
regarded as new hires, although
their raises are based on the
lower-grade salary.

As a factual side note here,
it should be pointed out that
increments were guaranteed in
the previous contract. In our
previous article, it was stated
that the new contract is an ex-
tension of the existing agreement.
The existing contract is a new
one, commencing April 1, 1977,
and running through March 31,
1979, although certain benefits
were covered by the old con-
tract for the time before the
new contract was ratified by the
membership and approved by the
Legislature and the Governor.

Mr. Blom also said that he had
received some inquiries from
people who were confused by
our use of $114.45, $105 and $100
to show the difference of increase

for the increases to be expected
by employees in all grades.
Since our article appeared, Mr,
Blom's office has been deluged
with requests for forms that we
said were available in order to
gather data for the union's legal
action to iron out some remain-
ing discrepancies between the
union and the state interpreta-
tions of the contract.
Availability of the forms was
& misunderstanding on our part,
based on information from a
source other than Mr, Blom. Mr.
Blom expressed embarrassment
for being taken off guard when
the requests were made for the
forms. In actuality the forms
were used by his office in report-

sides.

‘The state would not reveal how
much money it spent in its action
against Dr. Hussain, but sources
estimate the amount to be at
least $25,000.

“The state hired two private
New York City attorneys to ‘get’
Dr. Hussain,” Mr, Linden said.
“This shows how little the De-
partment of Mental Hygiene
thinks of the taxpayers who sup-
port it, when they spend thous-
ands of dollars in a totally un-
Justified attack on an employee
with an excellent record,”

‘Testimony during the hearings
revealed that Dr. Hussain, a 14-
year state employee, had been
chief of the intensive care unit
at Bronx Psychiatric since its in-

in writing—was Dr. Butts,

It also turned out that the
president of the Bronx Psychiat-
ric board of visitors recalled Dr.
Butts using Dr. Hussain’s ICU
“as a model in terms of treat-
ment, administration, cleanliness,
and everything else.”

Evidence was also offered by
the CSEA showing that Dr. Hus-
sain was a nationally-recognized
expert on patients with homicl~
dal and suicidal tendencies.

“The testimony brought forth
@t the hearings also proved that
the patient in question was ac-
tually transferred by direct order
of the Department of Mental Hy-
giene in Albany, and not by Dr.
Hussain at all,” Mr, Linden noted.
“The case was an embarrassment
to the state. It showed the in-
competenee of the DMH and the
great length to which the DMH
would go t unjustly blame Dr.
Hussain for the unfortunate
death of the patient.”

In a 62-page decision, arbitrator
Philip Feldblum found that,

Surgical

Consultation

Program

New York State

WHEN YOUR DOCTOR
SUGGESTS SURGERY

... AND YOU

AREN’T SURE

The Second Surgical Consultation
Program is now available to state
and local government employees

in the Albany and New York City
metropolitan area who are

enrolled in the New York State
Employees Health Insurance Program

Why is this program offered?

Surgical Consultations can be expensive. The cost of asec-
ond opinion may, in the past, have prevented patients from
seeking consultations. The Second Surgical Consultation Pro-
gram removes this cost barrier by paying the full cost of a con-
sultation arranged by the program. Any X-rays and laboratory
test required to complete the consultation will also be paid.

All surgery involves certain risks. In some cases, the consul-
tant may suggest an alternative method of treatment, or may
recommend that surgery is not necessary. If the need for sur-
gery is confirmed, a second surgical consultation offers peace
of mind to the patient and reassurance to the doctor that the
proposed surgery is the best treatment for the patient. Con-
sultations offer you and your physician a way to achieve the
highest quality of medical care possible.

All State and local government employees, retirees, and their dependents
enrolied in the State Health Insurance Program are eligible to use this benefit

A Career Saved

T was a long, hard-fought battle, the longest and costliest
in the Civil Service Employees Assn.'s history.

It marked the highest number of arbitration hearing
days—it lasted eight months—in the union's history. There
were 4,000 pages of testimony and summation, 150 exhibits,
and testimony by “expert” witnesses. In the end, though,
the CSEA won a bittersweet victory.

What does it all mean?

It shows that when a union does its job and really cares
about the welfare of its members, justice usually prevails.
It proves that the CSEA is willing to fight injustice wherever
the union encounters it and damn the expenses, the toil and
the anguish, It means that the CSEA is a responsible union
that does its job, It makes no difference if the union mem-
ber seeking help is a high-salaried official who can afford
to hire his own batch of lawyers and spokesmen, or a lowly
paid and overworked stiff who contributes only a few dol-
lars a year to the union’s treasury. The union is there to
battle for their rights whenever the rights of the union
member are threatened.

Amjed Hussain must be breathing easily as he celebrates
his vindication. He is the former psychiatrist at the Bronx
Psychiatric Center who was suspended from his post Sept.
16, 1976, after a mental patient he was accused of ordering
transferred from the hospital's intensive care unit to a ward,
committed suicide 17 days after the transfer.

The incident was a tragedy, the kind of misfortune
that should be avoided at all costs wheneyer possible. But,
too often when something like that happens, people are
more interested in blaming someone (almost always some-
one else) and obtaining that proverbial pound of flesh.

It seemed the pound of flesh had to come from the hide
of Dr, Hussain. Hugh Butts, the hospital director, charged
that Dr. Hussain should not have permitted the transfer.
Dr. Butts suspended him without pay, Testimony at the
hearing that led to Dr. Hussain’s reinstatement last week
with full back pay, however, showed that the State Depart-
ment of Mental Hygiene, and not Dr, Hussain, ordered the
transfer.

And, because of this, Dr. Hussain lived for more than
@ year in uncertainty.

Neither the union nor the state took the case lightly,
which was proper. The state almost certainly outspent CSEA
in attempting to prove the state’s weak point against Dr.
Hussain who, up until that bleak day last September, had
an exemplary record as a doctor and employee. This was
taxpayers’ money that could have been put to better use.
We consider it unconscionable for the taxpayers to have
to pay for the prosecution of a doctor charged with com-
mitting an act actually committed by the state. It was a
simple coverup, but one of serious proportions, very similar
to the one perpetrated by the Watergate conspirators.

We noted earlier that the victory was bittersweet, It is
always sweet when justice is upheld and a dedicated public
servant's career is saved, But there is often bitterness after
the end of a case that should never have gone to trial, or
4n accusation, that should never have been made, has been
disproved,

CSEA Convstion:
An Opportunity For
Exchange Of Views

When the Civil Service
Employees Assn. meets next
week at Kiamesha Lake, it
will be the first time in many
years that the delegates will have
a real chance to devote them-
selves to some of the many de-
tails of union organization that
have been pushed into the back-
ground by a series of crises faced
by the giant union in recent
years.

As a recent example, the
March convention earlier this
year was dominated by concern
over contracts for the four major
bargaining Units represented by
the CSEA.

In other years there have been
problems dealing wtih challenges
by rival organizations, the possi-
bility of affiliation with another
union, strike votes and the
lengthy restructuring process to
make the CSEA even more dem-
oecratic. Along the way, there
have been other contract disputes.

This is not to say that this
convention next week will be
routine.

Quite the contrary.

Consensus And Unity

When there are major prob-
lems, the CSEA delegates have a
way of arriving at a consensus
and acting in unity. Oftentimes,
these problems have been aired
at Local and Region meetings,
so that much of the arguing and
exchange of opinions has been
got out of the way.

But when it comes to details,
some CSEA delegates tend to be-
come emotional as they argue
minor points that leave other
delegates shaking their heads in
disbelief.

Far better, though, for some
rather heated exchanges that af-
ford a learning opportunity
than for misunderstandings and
differences of opinion to be con-
tinued in silence.

The CSEA is a very diverse
group. Not only are there the
two major Divisions; State and
County, but each of these has
numerous sub-categories,

The convention meetings are
held at departmental, divisional
and sometimes regional levels
prior to the full business ses-
sions that include everyone,

A Big Battle?

It's hard to tell, at this point,
what will emerge as the big bat-
tle of this meeting.

One possible floor fight might
develop over contracting out of
services, In this area, Metropoli-
tan Region I and Capital Region
IV are already on record in op-
Position camps about whether to
accept as members those workers
from private contractors who are
performing public employee
work.

Current examples of this dis-
agreement can be cited in the
Willowbrook battle against the
United Cerebral Palsy takeover
@t the Staten Island Mental Hy-
giene institution and the Sara-
toga Springs bus drivers’ strike
that ended in Upstate Transit
Consortium's recognition of the
CSEA as the employees’ bargain-
ing agent.

Tt won't be a quiet meeting,
maybe, after all—and it shouldn't

aba is a member of the New York Bar and Chairman
Nassau County Bar Association Labor Law Committee.

Jobs Abolished

In the preparation of its budget for the 1975-1976 school
year, the North Syracuse Central School District, because
of financial difficulties, abolished certain positions and
programs.

This included 13 school nurses-teachers, four driver
education teachers, two guidance counselors, and a part-
time reading teacher.

The budget was approved by the voters and, accordingly,
the employment of these specialist teachers was terminated.

A grievance was brought by the North Syracuse Edu-
cation Association on behalf of the discharged employees.
The dispute was not resolved at the pre-arbitration steps
of the grievance procedure and, therefore, the grievance
was referred by the association to arbitration. The issues
confronting the arbitrator were:

“Did the school district violate its Sept. 9, 1974-July 1,
1976, contract agreement with the association when it abol-
ished the positions. If so, what shall the remedy be?”

The arbitrator, on April 19, 1976, sustained the griev-
ance of the discharged personnel with the exception of the
part-time reading teacher, and on July 13, 1976, awarded
back pay with reinstatement for the school year 1976-77.

On appeal to the Supreme Court, Appellate Division,
Fourth Department, the school district contended that the
district cannot legally expend funds to reinstate programs
once the budget has been approved by the voters and, there-
fore, the question was not arbitrable.

The court held that the issue was properly within the
scope of arbitration since the dispute involved the “terms
and conditions of employment under a collective bargain-
ing agreement” and that the merits of the dispute were
for the arbitrator and not the court.

The court, however, did find that the arbitrator exceeded
his authority by awarding reinstatement for the school year
1976-77, which was beyond the duration of the contract
under which the arbitration was held. The court stated that
reinstatement of a discharged employee and payment to
him of back salary are proper remedies. Also, an arbitrator
may act after the termination date of a contract to deter-
mine if there was any breach during its existence and take
such action as to make the injured party whole for any loss
suffered during a contract period. The court concluded that
in this case the discharged grievants could be made whole
by the award of back pay during the life of the contract.

They held that the arbitrator exceeded his power in
contravention of Article 15 of the contract, which “enjoins
the arbitrator from adding to, modifying or subtracting from
the agreement, by the additional award of reinstatement
beyond the life of the contract.” Nerth Syracuse Central

erty or have much income. SSI
is administered by social security.
‘They can help by getting to-
gether material to support
claims before they contact a so-
cial security office to apply.
Claimants should first get the
following information:

© Motor vehicle registration.
© Proof of pension and annui-
ties.
© A copy of the person's most
recent tax return, if self-em-
ployed.

A person can apply for SSI
Payments at any social security
office. The basic federal SSI
payment is $177.80 a month for
an individual and $266.70 for
couples. Not everyone gets this
much, however, because other
income usually causes SSI pay-
ments to be reduced.

The value of a person's real

an effect on eligibility, Not all
property counts, however. A per-

Clarifications On State Workers’ 4% This Month

Editor, The Leader:

“Will You Get 4 Percent Pay
Hike?" in the Sept. 23 issue of
the Leader, I found myself won-
dering; Would 1?

You see, I am about to get
appointed to a Grade 11 pro-
visional appointment ($9,300)
from a Grade 9 ($8,700). Now if
I get this promotion, would it
mean that I do not get the 4
percent pay hike? I was with
the state before March 31, 1977,
and I fought for the 14 percent
pay hike. And, just because I
qualify and passed for a pro-
motion, the 4 percent and the
5 percent pay hikes, respectively,
should not be held back from me.

that the October pay raise will

grade salary, but that next
April's pay raise will be based
on the higher-grade promotion
Salary, Regardless of whether
salaries are under or over $10,-

discussing promotions that take
effect prior to the next sched-
uled pay increases. If, for ex-
ample, a promotion was de-
layed past Oct. 1, you do not
carry the $400 pay raise with
you, but next April's may still
be expected, In no case, though,
should there be a wage loss,

an increment based on the
higher grade for those people

ary already exceeds the base

Editor, The Leader;
T have read your article fri the’

interest.

Inasmuch as we have been
kept pretty much in the dark
here in Chautauqua County,
some of the non-judicial em-
ployees would like the following
questions answered. When you
say that ALL current state em-
ployees, including those who have
not received any of the first 9
percent this year, will receive the
5 percent increase April 1, 1978,
does that include the non-judi-
cial employees in Chautauqua
County that became state em-
ployees April 1, 1977.

If this does include these em-
ployees, will it also include judi-
cial employees such as judges?

MacWilliams conducting eight
days of almost continuous ses-
sions attempting to resolve the
situation. Saratoga Springs
Mayor Raymond Watkin entered
the scene as an additional me-
diator mid-way through the
strike, and the final agreement
was hammered out in the Mayor's
office at City Hall with both
mediators present, Within an
hour of getting the signature of
Upstate Transit president Robert
Stanton on the tentative agree-

ment, the CSEA-represented
drivers and mechanics were
holding a jubilant ratification

session to approve the new con-

tract, which runs through June
30, 1978.

Meanwhile, two legal actions
brought by CSEA against the

school district continue in effect
and could ultimately return the
employees to civil service status

as school district employees. The
CSEA is awaiting a ruling on an
improper practice charge over
contracting out from the State
Public Employment Relations
Board, and a decision from State
Supreme Court, where a judge
reserved decision on several
charges challenging the legality
of the contracting out.
Two Contracts

CSEA regional supervisor John
Corcoran, who coordinated the
strike, said, “In effect, we now
have two comparable contracts
covering the employees. If they
are ultimately ruled to still be
school district employees, we have
the prior contract the district
vielated, and if they remain pri-
vate employees of Upstate, then
we have the equivalent contract
negotiated during the strike.”

‘The contract calls for all prior
benefits and provisions of ‘the
CSEA-school district contract,
and includes a 6 percent pay hike
the employees would have re-
ceived under the CSEA contract,
but which Upstate Transit did
not honor, The contract also
formally recognizes CSEA as the
legal representative of the cur-
rently private employees of Up-
state. And mechanic Alvin Siel-
le was reinstated with full back
pay and benefits to the date he
was fired. "A complete and total
victory for the employees, they
got every single item they struck
for and did not concede a single
thing, which I think shows what
can be achieved with solid sup-
port and determination of em-
Ployees during a strike,” accord-

ing to Mr. Corcoran.

CSEA Capital Region president
Joseph McDermott, who had
high praise for the striking em-
ployees and for CSEA staff em-
ployees who were on the scene
around the clock to coordinate
and assist in the strike activities,
said, “This problem was resolved
much more smoothly under the
private sector rules than they
would have been under the Tay-
lor Law. the Taylor Law should
be fair and equal to all sides as
is the private sector rules, and I
think this situation clearly shows
that it is not and that public em-
ployees are treated much more
unfairly under similar condi-
tions.”

Mr, Corcoran also praised the
striking employees, noting “they
stayed united and determined
under very difficult conditions

Hold Third Annual
DOT-Labor Seminar

ORISKANY — More than 120 Civil Service Employees
Assn. officers and management representatives from ten
Department of Transportation regions attended the third
annual CSEA-DOT Labor Seminar, Sept. 15-17, at the Hor-

{zon Motor Inn, Oriskany.

The three-day event conduct~
ed under the chairmanship of
Timothy McInerney, statewide
head of CSEA DOT committee,
and assisted by collective bar-
gaining specialists Joseph Reedy
and Thomas Linden, and host
Local 505 president Nicholas
Cimino, included seminar topics
ranging from affirmative action,
Local labor management, disci-
plinary procedure, safety, educa-
tion and training, 1977 contract
improvements, as well as a griev-
ance administration workshop
and open discussion involving the
economic development bond issue.
Question - and - Answer sessions
followed each meeting through-
out the schedule.

In statements to news media
covering the seminar, David
Zaron, DOT assistant commis-
sioner for manpower and em~-
ployee relations, indicated the
overall seminar was “highly suc-
cessful, with productive input
from both the CSEA membership
and management. This is the

third annual DOT Labor Seminar
and they get better each year
with total involvement and dis-
cussions by both sides. This is
@ labor-management meeting at
its best—with both sides learn-
ing through participation,” Mr.
Zaron said.

Other state DOT management
personnel attending the third
session “included: John Downey,
executive deputy commissioner;
Bruce McQueen, principal agency
labor relations representative;
Steve Daly, director of DOT per-
sonnel; Robert Dougherty, di-
rector of transportation safety;
Wiiliam LaFleur, director of staff
development and training.

DOT commissioner John Hen-
nessy, CSEA president William
McGowan, CSEA vice-president
James Moore and other special
guests attended a dinner Friday
gvening which concluded the
second day of the seminar.

Plans are already under way
for scheduling another meeting
next year.

William McGowan, CSEA statewide president, discusses workshop
topics with seminar committee. Seated, from left: Mr. MoGowan;

and enabled the pressure to con-
tinue unabated against Upstate
Transit and the school board,
and that had a definite bearing
on our ability to achieve com-
plete and total victory for the
employees.” He also had high
praise for the more than dozen
CSEA staffers involved in all as-
pects of the strike around the

cluded within the four major
bargaining units, but are still
represented by the Civil Service
Employees Assn, Among these
are Authorities, State Police,
Armories . . . and Judiciary.
Now let us continue, based on
an explanation by Civil Service
Employees Assn. collective bar-
gaining specialist Patrick Mon-
achino, First of all, there are

state employees, and for whom
@ separate contract was con-
cluded this past summer, The
contract for these Judicial em-
ployees is similar to the con-
tracts for the four major bar-
gaining Units, except that the
14 percent pay increase be-
comes a part of the permanent
job title salary schedule, and

ssitute am assigore as comributor in his
of her place without the prior written
consent of all General subject

about these county and city

under state control on April 1,
1977. Direct answers to Mr.
Young's questions are No, these
“merged” employees are not
currently covered by a state-
wide contract, and judges, to
be specific, are not represented
by the union anyway. Other
high-ranking titles possibly
may be included in manage-
ment/confidential classifica-
tions within former county or
city understandings, and, con-
sequently, also be excluded
from the union contract, At
present, “merged” Judicial em-
ployees, formerly part of local

governments, are continuing
under the terms of their lo-
cal government contracts.

‘Those contracts ratified prior
to April 1, 1977, are being hon-
ored by the state, and em-
ployees are receiving the
agreed-upon benefits, Mr,
Monachino says that CSEA
hopes to be able to begin
overall collective bargaining for
merged Judicial employees
soon,

ALBANY—Senator Frank
Padavan, chairman of the
Senate Committee on Mental
Hygiene and Addiction Con-
trol, pas called for public hear-
ings before his committee to in-
vestigate the administration of
the Bronx Psychiatric Center and
the Manhattan Psychiatric
Center.

Sen. Padavan’s action was
prompted by published reports of
the State Investigation Commis-
sion and audits by State Comp-
troller Arthur Levitt’s Depart-
ment of Audit and Control con-
cerning alleged mismanagement,
patient abuse and security lapses
at the two metropolitan mental
hospitals,

According to Sen. Padavan,
one of the committee functions
is to act as legislative overseer
of mental hygiene facilities. He
said testimony heard by the
committee at the hearings could
be the basis for submitting re-
medial legislation to the 1978
Legislature.

“The reports made public by
the two state agencies investigat-
ing the operation of the facili-
ties indicate a pressing need for
thorough and open hearing to
examine the allegations and, if
necessary, begin & program of
legislative correction where that
is possible,” said the Senator.

rector Hugh F. Butts is looking

GO TO HEALTH

There is a serious health problem in this country that strikes
instantly without warning.

In 1974, an esitmated 28,000 men, women and children were its
victims. Entire families have been destroyed and thousands upon
thousands of people are seriously disabled each
year when an event such as the following true
story occurs:

On a warm summer night, having spent an
afternoon in a bar, Ralph K. got into his car,
drove a few blocks and smashed head-on into
@ station wagon, His estimated speed at the
time of impact was 80 miles per hour. There
were nine people in the station wagon, three
generations of the J. f{amily—parents, grand-
parents and five children, They were all killed
instantly. r

Ralph K. had a history of drinking and driving violations. He
was known to the courts for being arrested on DWI (driving
while intoxicated) charges. When the courts revoked his license for
DWI offenses, he would later be convicted for driving intoxicated
with his license revoked,

Ralph K. js an alcoholic. He needs help. Innocent people need
protection from others like Ralph K. who drink too much and drive.

The alcoholic comprises less than 10 percent of the driving
Population, yet is involved in two-thirds of the traffic accidents
resulting in a fatality. Each week the problem drinkers are involved
in approximately 365 highway deaths. This would be the equivalent
of a 747 jumbo jet crashing every week and all
pants. I am sure if this happened we would all be concerned about
traveling by Jumbo jet.

Likewise, we all should be concerned about the drinking driver.
In New York State there is an Alcohol and Drug Rehabilitation
Program (Drinking Driver Program) that mandates that people con-
vieted of DWI or DWAI (Driving While Ability Impaired) must
attend 16-hour instructional program approved by the Btate.
They must fulfill all requirements of the mandated drinking driver
program to retain their driving privileges.

The Drinking Driver Program is designed to identify and help,
by referring to an alcoholism treatment program, those convicted
DWI or DWAI motorists with serious alcohol-related problems.
‘The program has the potential to help the alcoholic and to make
the highways safer for all of us.

It should be pointed out that not all people convicted of
DWI—DWAI offenses and mandated to Drinking Driver Programs
are alcoholics. If you would like more information write: NYS
Drinking Driver Program, Department of Motor Vehicles, Empire
State Plaza, Albany 12228; or Alcohol and Highway Safety, Division
of Alcoholism, NYS Department of Mental Hygiene, 44 Holland

CIVIL SERVICE LE

By JOSEPH LAZARONY
Chairman, CSEA County Division

As chairman of the County Executive Committee, it is
my honor and privilege to chair the meetings of this com-
mittee. There are 53 counties with representation on this
board and five Regions have educational Local representa-
tives. This totals 58 (very good, Laz!) eligible seats.

Generally, this committee meets on the evening preced-
ing the statewide Board of Directors meetings which are
one full day in length. We discuss, in some detail, factors
having some effect on local government units of the Civil
Service Employees Assn. We have discussed in some detail
all of the following during the last four meetings:

1, Application of agency shop funds to Locals.

2. The continuing requirement for Local units to be

alert to raids by other groups.

3. Unemployment insurance, particularly for school dis-

trict employees.

4, Impact of transfer to state employment of thousands

of court employees.

5. Membership campaigns and agency shop impact.

There is more, but I’m sure you get the idea. Several
of these discussions have resulted in motions presented to
the statewide board and others have resulted in action by
various statewide committees.

The point of all of this is, the County Executive Com-
mittee is an action group. We do things and we accomplish
things. Each member then returns to his or her own Local
and “carries the message” to the Local executive commit-
tee. This is communication—to and from our members!

There is, however, a weakness. Some Locals are rarely
represented at these meetings. The whole system breaks
down with this absence. There are many reasons for these
absences and some are valid. However, it is your local that
suffers! Your needs do not reach the committee, nor do
the changes the committee creates get back to your local.
We still have units who do not understand our program for
payment of negotiating expenses!

We need every member (or a proxy) at every meeting.
If I or any member of this group can help to improve at-
tendance, we stand ready to do so. However, the best guar-
antee of good representation is active members who demand
just that!

Our annual convention comes Oct, 10 to Oct. 14 at the
Concord Hotel, Kiamesha Lake. Several major topics are
due to be debated and voted on at this convention, Your
Local president and state representative are receiving early
copies of committee reports which will be the basis for most
discussions. Contact these officers if you wish to have per-
sonal input to your Local's position. This “grass roots” input
is the expressed desire of our president and constitutes
effective democratic unionism, a real thing in the CSEA.

See you soon!

without receiving any disctplin-
ary charges; the delay in pre-

gaps in Dr. Butts’ knowledge of
the facts when he prepared the

to give Dr, Hussain an opportun-

as to Dr. Hussain’s competence,
it is clear that there is no prob-

Mr, Feldblum ordered the
CSEA member reinstated to his

Report Of CSEA’s Statewide Retiree Committee

OCTOBER 9 — 14, 1977

The retirees committee feels
that 1977 has been a year of ex-
ceptional accomplishment for
Civil Service Employees Assn.
retirees in gaining an across-the-
board 14 percent cost-of-living
increase added to tne supplemen-
tation already in effect for 1968
and earlier retirement years, now
extended to March 31, 1969. This
excellent gain, however, leaves
still many thousands of retirees
who retired sirice March 31, 1969
without @ cost-of-living increase,
and it is felt that an all-out ef-
fort must be made in 1978 to
alleviate the hardship experi-
enced by those who retired since
that date, as well as all retirees
who were not born before June
1, 1910 who remained barred
from benefiting from any sup-
plemental whatsoever.

William L. McGowan, CSEA’s
newly elected president, has as-
sured the retiree coordinator,
Thomas A. Gilmartin, Jr. that
CSEA retirees will soon receive

improved services that they have
requested for the betterment of
their orgnaization, such as the
Periodic mailing of a newsletter
to all retiree members, the send-
ing of canvas letters on a regu-
lar basis to non-member retirees,
and the improving of data pro-
cessing services in billing pro-
cedures, sending retiree member-
ship cards, and the supplying of
accurate Local membership
print-outs.

Tt is the consensus of this
committee that the retirees are
discriminated against in the
union's constitution which pro-
hibits them from voting in state-
wide and regional elections un-
less they pay full dues. The com-
mittee reminds the delegates that
employed members of CSEA will
eventually become retirees, and
that our improved benefits will
become theirs; our problems
theirs; and, that their dedica-
tion to the well-being of the As-
sociation does not cease with re-
tirement. To this end, present re-
tirees believe that they should
have the right to vote for can-
didates for statewide and region-
al office, if for no other reason
than that their interests as re-
tiree members are affected by
the individuals who are elected.

HAIGHT, OF GOWANDA PSYCH., RETIRES
4. Rothery Haight, left, director of the Gowanda Psychiatric Center,

At the March, 1977 delegates
convention, Chairman Nellie
Davis formed a retiree constitu-
tion and by-laws subcommittee,
with William Mensel of Nassau
County as chairman, to work on
any proposed amendments per-
taining to retiree interests, Other
members appointed were George
Celantano of Rockland County,
Ralph Brewster of New York
City, Gordon Hobbs of Middle-
town and John Tanzi of Syracuse.
‘The new subcommittee did not
get off the ground, however,
through no fault of its own, as
no provision was made to fi-
nance their travel from their
seattered areas for the purpose
of meeting. Chairman Mensel has
reported that he sent a letter to
Kenneth Cadieux, chairman of
the statewide constitution and
by-laws committee, requesting
that committee's consideration
for an amendment which would
Permit retirees to participate in
statewide elections, but that no
response had been received up
to the time of this report.

At the March 1977 meeting of
the retirees committee and dele-
gates it was decided that the of-
fice of vice-chairman should be
created and filled for the retirees
committee. As a result of the

Retiree Grapevine

By THOMAS GILMARTIN
CSEA Retiiee Coordinator

Retirement is a hot issue today, if one can judge by the
burgeoning of programs at national, state and county levels
for older non-working Americans and the wide coverage of
retirement news accorded by the media. Keeping pace with
the times, the Civil Service Employees Assn. has become
increasingly concerned About the financial security of its
retired members,

Proof of the union's increasing concern was most evident
this year in the extraordinary effort put forth by the CSEA’s
legislative and political action committee, whose lobbyists
placed a high priority on getting a hefty cost-of-living in-
crease for retirees, and got it.

It had never before been more clear that CSEA stands
firmly behind legislation written for the benefit of its re-
tiree members and that the union’s support of responsive
legislators could be so productive in gaining favorable legis-
lation. In plain English, it all boils down to campaign sup-
port for legislators who have the Interest of public em-
ployees and retired public employees at heart, and the
capability of the union to deliver votes wherever and when-
ever needed. As for the latter, retiree power is formidable
in the voting booth where retired citizens enjoy a reputation
for a high turnout.

With this in mind, the CSEA is kicking off a recruitment
drive to increase the membership within its retiree ranks.
President William McGowan has written a letter, which will
soon go out to thousands of non-member retirees inviting
them to join CSEA's retiree division,

To further increase the membership as well as to add
to the political clout of New York State's retired public em-
ployees, Mr. McGowan has authorized the mailing of a
quarterly retiree newsletter, the first of which will be in the
mail during the first week of November. The newsletter will
endeavor to marshall the statewide support of all retirees
for the legislative program drawn up for the 1978 legislative
session.

e . e

SUCH LEGISLATION will find its origin within the
“legislative goals” decided upon by the retirees statewide
committee at their meeting in Albany on Sept. 6, as follows:

1. (A) A permanent cost-of-living increase based on the
Consumer Price Index of the U.S. Dept. of Labor for all
retired members of the Employees Retirement System,
(B) Re-enactment of the present supplementation of
the Laws of 1977, which would be extended from the
present cut-off date of April 1, 1969, to include those
who retired through 1971,

2. Legislation to delete the proviso that the retiree must
be age 62 prior to June 1, 1972, in order to be eligible
for supplemental increases,

3, Enactment of a survivor's benefit of $2,000 for those
who retired from state service before Oct. 1, 1966.

4, Rescinding the restriction in the Civil Service Law
which denies a retiree’s widow or widower the remaining
portion of the retiree’s accumulated unused sick leave
to be applied against health insurance costs,

5. Amendment of Taylor Law to allow bargaining unit ne-
gotiators to cover benefits for retirees.

6. Guaranteed minimum retirement allowance for retirees
with 25 years of service, simliar to the $4,100 enacted in
1977 for retirees of the Teachers Retirement System.

These legislative goals will be reviewed at the joint
meeting of retiree delegates and statewide committee mem-
bers on Oct. 11, and will be presented by the retirees com-
mittee chairman for approval of the Assembly of Delegates
at the convention Oct, 10-14. After approval, these legisla-
tive goals will be presented to the legislative and political
action committee for its action in preparing CSEA’s legis-
lative program for the 1978 legislative session,

‘Thus, another big step will be taken by the CSEA to
improve the financial security of its retired members:
