? Hope For Improved 1/60th

Bill Seen As Legislature

. Heads For Closing Days

ALBANY — As the 1967 session of the Legislature approached its final days of ac-

on the pay bill and other vital
public employee legislation.
Disagreement between Demo-
crats and Republicans on adding
any new monies to Governor
Rockefeller's supplemental budget
made a salary adjustment unlike-
ly but numerous other benefits
contained in the CSEA salary res-
olution appeared to be moving
toward a successful conclusion.

One of the most important of
the CSEA legislative goals — re-
enactment of the 1/60th, non-con-
tributory retirement system plan
won last year — was certain to
be re-passed. An Employees Asso-
ciation spokesman, citing the fact
that the CSEA had managed to
liberalize the original 1/60th pro-
posal to provide retroactive credits

period options, under the Federal overtime law, until all employees have had an oppor-
tunity to become acquainted with the Federal statute and pending State legislation gov-

The department has advised all
institution directors to ascertain
from their employees whether
they would prefer work periods
based on a 40-hour, seven-day
week, or an 80-hour, 14-day week.
The Pederal legislation, which
grants time-and-one half pay for
overtime to thousands of State
Workers—most of them institution
workers—requires employers to

Neil Cummings, president
Joseph Drago, president of the
chapter's Buffalo City unit, said
last week in a joint statement
that “the salaries of employees
of the City of Buffalo have fallen
considerably behind salaries for
similar positions In private in-
dustry and other local govern-
ments.” They called for “prompt
action to alleviate the hardship
and sacrifice forced on Buffalo
city employees and their families
by the lack of attention to this
jmatter by the City government,"

In addition to the city em-
ployees’ generally low salaries in
| comparison with private industry
and other local governments, the
CSEA officials said, “their salaries
have been eroded by the ever-
increasing cost of living, higher
social seourity taxes, and other
expenses experienced by all work-

In filing the applications with
the State Division of Classifica-

the past years, the types of de-
linquents that are being commit-
ted to our State training schools
have changed in such # manner
that it has become increasingly
difficult to both manage them
and rehabilitate them.”
CSEA said that among
schools’ inmates, who
children although their
range up to eighteen years,” many
cannot be rehabilitated and “many
of the boys are physically equal
to a prisoner in Correction De-
partment institutions and, in fact,
in many cases are both larger

falo City employees,” they said
Also Asks 1/60th Plan

Drago, whose unit represents
hundreds of city employees, said
“in addition to the long overdue
pay raise, we have urged that the
1/60th non-contributory retire-
|ment plan should be made avail-
able to city employees,”

He said “in communications and
| discussions with responsible city

}ed the importance and necessity
of providing to our city employees

Because of the provisions in the

CIVIL SERVICE LEADER

Action Urged To Amend
State Attendance Rules

ALBANY — The State Civi
urged to implement more than
ments to the State Attendan
Civil Service Employees Assn,

The Commission also was asked
to support several CSEA requests
for specific changes in the atten-
dance rules of the State's pol-
itical sub-divisions.

Theodore C. Wenazl, first vice
president of the Employees Asso-
ciation, urged the Civil Service
Commission President, Ersa H. Pos-
ton, to give careful consideration
to requests, which included:

1. Lump sum payment for ac-
cumulated unused sick leave
credits upon retirement, death, or
other separation from State ser-
vice.

2. A 35-hour work week for all
full-time State employees without
reduction fn salary,

3. Terminal leave with pay of
three days for every year of service
for State employees who elect to
retire.

4. Increase of vacation allow-
ance to add one day to annual
leave for each two years of service
after 15 years up to five additional
days so that after 25 years of em-
ployment the vacation allowance
would be equivalent to 25 days
without reduction of present bene-
fits,

Saturday Holidays
$. Equivalent time off for holf-
‘s which fall on Saturdays.

6. Mandatory leave with full!
pay to all employees absent from |
duty becase of occupational in-|
jury or disease and compel the
appointing authority rather than
the employee to appeal to the Civil
Service Commission, if necessary.

7. Complete compensatory time
off due employees for all time
spent away from their official
station while traveling on State
business.

8. Provide the Civil Service De-
partment the right to grant Sab-
batical leaves after 10 years of
permanent employment with nec-
essary and appropriate rules for
eligibility.

9. Compensation for personal
leave lost due to lack of coverage

fn the pensions of persons al-
ready retired and would apply to
both State and political subdivi-
sion members of the State Retire-

troller Arthur Levitt and a com-
mittee appointed by the Governor
to study the Retirement, System.
Other Bills Moving

Other legislation moving toward
enactment would:

In addition, a bill that would

and was expected to be reported
out of the Senate Civil Service
Committee this week.

All present signs indicate the
Legislature will adjourn at the
end of this week to make way for
the Constitutional Convention, due
to begin in Albany on April 4.

CSEA pointed out that its mem-
bers had asked for other modifi-
cations of the specific requests it
was presenting to the Commission,
which it would like to review at
an early meeting with Commission
Officials,

Mental sub-units to provide a
new “grass roots” approach to
employee problems. Individual

sub-units requesting them and

cioli said.

Some 400 employees—including

professional aldes— attended the
meeting which was addressed by
Joseph D, Lochner, executive dir-
ector of the Statewide Association;
Irving Flaumenbaum, second vice-
president of the CSEA and Patrick
G, Rogers, supervisor of fieldmen
for the Association. Other speak-
ers included Ivan Flood, chapter
counsel; Gabriel Caribee, past

choice of work-period options.”
100,000 Covered

The State legislation, which has
been under negotiation between
CSEA, the State administration,
and the Legislature, since early
this year, is expected to broaden
widely the coverage and benefits
of the Federal measure. Speaking
last week at the Employees Asso-
ciation’s annual meeting on the
pending State overtime measure,
Rockefeller sald it, potentially, will
cover 100,000 State employees.

In addition to requesting the
|Mental Hygiene Department to
[hold up the proposed meetings,
CSEA also urged that:

1, All instityiion employees be
| elven a written copy of the ad-
vantages and disadvantages of the
‘-day overtime work-period as

| well as the 14-day work-period

2, The concept of payment in
cash at one-and-one-half times
the regular rate of pay for work in
excess of eight hours a day, tive
days per week, be incorporated in
all options offered to employees

3. Each employee be given an

such as by a direct ballot

‘The Employees Association also
has called a special meeting this
week of ts State-wide Mental
Hygiene Cu rmittee to formulate

ICSEA action on tas Issue.

Rogers explained the theory be-
hind the unit system and pointed
out the success of the system elee-
where. He noted that, in addition
the present field staff, including
W. Reuben Goring, who represents
Westchester County and also at-
tended the meeting, the Associa-
tion was in the process of hiring
an additional eight field men who
would be temporarily assigned to
districts where necessary to assist
the permanently assigned repre-
sentative,

Success Noted

In urging support for the pro-
gram, Flaumenbaum noted the
success of the unit system in Nas-
sau County where he is chapter
president. Purther, he suggested
that surveys be conducted on in-
dividual positions in order that
salary reallocations could be made
Stressing that employee coopera-
tion is necessary for the success
of any professional salary study,
he noted that, no matter what the
outcome, no employee could be
reduced in rank or salary through
the plan. The Nassau chapter
president pointed to a recent sal-
ary study conducted in his county
that resulted in upgrading for 85
percent of his members with the
remaining 15 percent remaining
status quo,

Lochner, in urging employee
participation in unit activities,
noted that the unit fs offering this
participation for the first time
“You only get out of your chap-
ter what you put in and only
through grass roots participation

Nassau Chapter Cited

“CSEA is in the throes of re-
novation,” Lochner said. “We have
to be more militant.” Pointing to
the unit system as one way to
| accomplish the renovation and
| militancy, Lochner cited Flaumen-
baum for his leadership in mak-
jing the Nassau chapter “the suc-
|cesa it is today.” “Nassau chapter,

six years ago had but 2,000 mem-
}bers,” he explained, “Today, it
| numbers more than 10,000.”
Lochner recommended that the
unit avail itself of the facilities
offered by CSEA Headquarters.
“The public relations, adminis-
trative, legal and research staffs
stand ready to help you when
you need them,” he promised.
| Explaining the guaranteed grie-
vance procedures and the steps
involved in processing a grievance,

}cess in past grievance adjudica~
tion and promised that the Asso-

The Times’ View

T ts regrettable but understandable that representatives |

of nearly 150,000 state, county and municipal workers
have unanimously decided to end their union's 19-year no-
strike pledge.

The principal reason they gave is the unworkable Condon-
Wadlin Act, whose reform has again been stalemated in the
Legislature. The Civil Service Employees Assn. feels that it
has been penalized for refusing to strike while others have
been rewarded for doing so, After recent strikes, explained
‘Theodore C. Wenzl, the CSEA’s acting president, “rather than
being punished, the striking employees prospered. The in-
fluence and prestige of the striking unions were greatly en-
hanced, and it is safe to assume that these unions probably
do not have much interest in seeing Condon-Wadlin re-
placed with a workable measure.”

But Mr, Wenzl’s union is anxious to have a fair bill and
is prepared to use the threat of a strike to get it. This
action by a union representing 83 percent of the state’s work-
ers may help to persuade reluctant legislators to work out
an enforceable and acceptable substitute for the present
discredited law. The replacement of Condon-Wadlin merits
top priority In Albany.

A Better 1-60th Plan

EMBERS of the State Retirement System are justifiably
M concerned over what action the Legislature will take

session on the 1/60th, guaranteed half-pay on retire-
ment bill that was won for them last year by the Civill
Service Employees Assn.

The measure—which must be renewed and can be im-
proved upon—is set up to grant this guaranteed retirement
at half-pay after 30 years’ service to all new members of the
service. It does not now, however, provide sufficient benefits
to older members now in service because retroactive credits
for those members extend back only to 1960. These members
have contributed millions of dollars from their own salaries
for their retirement. Surely, they deserve a better credit
proportion than now exists and the Legislature still has
time to deliver those credits before the current session ends.

On Convictions Of
1-60 Bill Actions

Editor, The Leader:

The rousing acceptance and
unanimous adoption of the resolu-
tion offered by the State Ingur-
ance Fund Chapter of the Civil
Service Employees Assn. at the
Convention held on March 15 and
16 at the Commodore Hotel, call-
ing on CSEA to mount an all out
compaign for the enactment of
a full retroactive 1/60th law
(Senate Print No. 3909, sponsored
by Senator Lentol and in the As-
sembly by Assemblyman LaFauci)
bespeaks membership conviction,
that —

The retirement at approxi-
mately 1/3 of salary, which is
the lot of most of the eligibles,
especially of the mass of the
lower paid echelons, is impos-
sible and incompatible with the
right to live in dignity, that —

Unless the 1/60th law, now
on the books is amended, as
provided in the above proposed
legislation, it will constitute
shameless, discriminatory class
legislation — establishment of a
new non-contributory retire-
ment system to provide benefits
for the recent and future em-
Ployee to the detriment and at
the expense of the veteran em-
ployee who invested more than
$700,000,000 in the system,
that —

The system has been the
beneficiary of a windfall in un-
paid benefits due to no or de-
layed retirements, unfortunate
choice of options and unneces-
sarily high premiums on op-
tions, which should be disbursed
in improved benefits, that —

It is unworthy of an enlighten-
ed employer and employees to
permit such an injustice to be
perpetrated and perpetuated,
that —

The enormous assets of the
system valued at almost three
billion dollars, earning about one
hundred million dollars a year,
increasing in value at the rate
of approximately $250,000 a year
possesses capability for generous
improvement, and in any event,
the administration, legislature
and trustees of the system have
the genius and know-how to
bring a fully retroactive 1/60th
law to fruition, that —

‘The time to act is now.

Tt also bespeaks a membership
mood which expects the Associa-
tion to designate itself to the task
ahead with resolution, energy and
the type of leadership already dis-
played in engaging the services of
an actuary to assist in achieving
® just and fully retroactive 1/60th
law,

Law & You

By WILLIAM GOFFEN

(Mr. Goffen, » member of the New York Bar, teaches law at the
College of the City of New York, is the author of many books and
articles and co-authored “New York Criminal Law.”)

Psychologically Disabled-Cont.

THE ESSENTIAL question for determination of an ap-
plication for ordinary disability retirement is whether the
employee ts capable of performing the duties of his position.

AS OBSERVED in last week's column, an application by
an insurance examiner for such retirement was supported
by the testimony of an eminent psychiatrist, Erwin Jaffe,
M.D. However, Dr. Jaffe’s opinion was not concurred in by
Mortimer F. Shapiro, M.D. an expert in psychiatry who ex-
amined the employee on behalf of the Retirement System.
When experts give conflicting testimony in this way, it is
extremely difficult for a layman sitting as a judge to reach
a just conclusion. With a record in this State, if the Hearing
Officer, Leon Braun, Esq., made a decision against retirement
it is likely that a court of review would sustain it. The reason
\ 1s that such review is pursuant to the substantial evidence
rule. A determination is deemed supported by substantial
evidence when it may reasonably be reached, even !f the
court itself would have reached the opposite determination
on the same evidence.

HOWEVER, THE record did not end with the conflict-
ing testimony of the psychiatrists. It was supplemented with
the testimony of the applicant's supervisor, a principal exam-
iner, The supervisor made the following answers to the follow-
ing questions propounded by the applicant's attorney:

Q. If Mr. X were assigned to a small company, would he
be required to do a greater variety of things than
on a large job?

A. Yes, definitely.

Q. Would he have to take small jobs as an examiner?

A. The balance of this year will be mostly smal] jobs.

Q. Does this place more stress on the employee?

A. It does.

Q. Is Mr. X capable of taking charge of a small job?

A. No.

Q. Are there other examiners who would be qualified?

A. Yes.

Q. Does Mr, X work under close supervision all the time?

A. Yes.

ACTUALLY, THE reason the employee worked in recent
months without “exploding” was that he had a very under-
standing woman as his supervisor.

THE QUESTIONS continued:

Q. Would you let Mr, X work without supervision?

A. Not to any great extent.

Q. Is he able to perform the full scope of an exam-

iner's function?

A. No.

Q. Do you feel he is sick or well?

A. Well, he is not well, I am sure,

Q. Do you feel that Mr. X can accept constructive
criticism?

A. It would probably upset him if too much so.

AT THIS POINT, Mr. Braun intervened as follows:

“I AM CHARGED with the duty of determining whether

Mr. X, the applicant here, is capable of performing the
duties of his job.”

Q. Could you tell categorically whether or not he can
perform the duties of his job? Can he do the work
completely and fully?

A. Not fully.

Q. Can he do the work of the job which he is being paid
to do by the State? I want your opinion because you
are an expert here. You know the work and you are
in charge of the people who do it. I want to know from
your experience with this applicant whether he can
do the work which you are required to assign to him,
yes or no?

A. No, I don't think he could.

ON THE BASIS of the record as a whole, the hearing
officer's determination was predictably in favor of the
applicant. As a finding of fact and conclusion of law the
hearing officer found the applicant to be suffering from a
Schizoid personality which incapacitated him in the perform-
ance of his duties, On the basis of the findings of fact and
conclusions of law, the application for ordinary disability
retirement was approved,

Flaumenbaum and Moses said
the County government was the
next objective and that it was ex-
pected to act shortly.

Ralph G. Caso, chief executive
of Hempstead Town, and vice
chairman and Republican leader
of the Nassau County Board of

three towns and the two cities,
whose delegates comprised the
Board, all had previously granted
sole recognition and exclusive bar-

ed almost 90% of the town's em-

Following the recent represen-
tational election, 90% of the non-

Caso said that the CSEA repre-
sentation would prevent “frag-

CSEA 1967 Committee Reports

Attendance Rules

By JOHN K, WOLFF, Chairman

‘The attendance rules committee met on the evening
of Feb. 27 and recommended that CSEA press for an
immediate meeting with the new Civil Service Commis-
sioners, Poston and Scelesi, as well as Commissioner
Falk so that our program for improvements in the
attendance rules can be advanced.

The committee discussed at length the proposition
of @ lump sum payment for accumulated unused sick
leave credits upon retirement or death while in service.
Tt was noted that with the advent of Medicare and
Medicaid, the proviso for using sick leave credit as
payment toward health insurance premiums has been
largely watered down or wiped out entirely. In addition,
SEA and this committee, has always maintained that
the payment of premiums for health insurance was
but a small step by the State toward our ultimate
goal for a lump sum payment.

“The committee reviewed and accepted amendments
to Section 21.3—Sick Leave—promulgated by the Civil
Service Department after discussion with the Associa-
tion. These amendments provide for “automatic” re-
storation of sick leave credits accumulated and unused
at the time of separation to employees reinstated
by Action of the Civil Service Commission in accordance
with Section 5.4 of the Rules For The Classified Service.
Prior to this amendment, such restorations were made
only upon request of the employing agency and were
subject to the approval of the Civil Service Commission.
It should be noted that employees separated for disci-
plinary reasons are not covered by this provision, Like-
wise, employees who have been separated from service
for more than a year still have to petition the Commis-
sion to have sick leave reinstated.

The Association also approved a resolution adopted
by the State Civil Service Commission which would
permit reciprocal agreements regarding transfer of leave
credits between the agencies covered by the State at-
tendance rules and other branches of the State Govern-
ment including the Legislative and judicial branches.

The committee urges the political subdivisions to
embark on campaigns to bring their attendance rules
to at least the level of the State employee's. Head-
quarters staff at 8 Elk St. stands ready to assist in any
way possible, and this committee will do likewise if
called upon.

Followi.¢ are the points for the discussion CSEA will
ave with the Civil Service Commission on the Attend-
‘ance Rules; ‘

‘unused sick leave credits upon death or retirement

from State service.

@ Provide comparable work week for State institu-
tlonal office workers,

© Provide for mandatory leave with full pay to all
employees absent from duty because of occupational
injury or disease, and to amend the attendance
rules so that the appointing authority rather than
the employee may have the right to appeal to the

Civil Service Commission.

® Provide for equivalent time off for employees
of the State and political subdivisions for holidays
that fal! on Saturdays and to provide that employees
who are obliged to work on Saturday holidays be
given credit for the time they work

@ Provide that State vacations be increased by

,one day per year for each two years of service

after 15 years,

©@ Increase personal leave to eight days per year
and provide for payment of all unused personal leave
refused by the employer.

@ Provide compensatory time for
travel for official business,

© Provide that all time credits earned by an
employee be transferred with him when he trans-
fers to a new branch of government, department,
agency, or authority,

© Return all departments to the Rules and Regu-
lations of the Civil Service Commission and repeal
any law that gives a department the right to write
its own attendance rules.

‘lier from May through September,

® Allow State employees to record all time and

time spent on

attendance and leave accruals on a hourly basis

instead of dally,

‘This committee will continue to press for improve-
ments in attendance rules which are such an important
part of fringe benefits.

Membership

By SAMUEL EMMETT & IRVING FLAUMENBAUM,
Co-Chairmen

‘The CSEA has attained a new record high membership.
‘The total is 146,445, The State division total is 101,230;
the County Division is 43,127, and Associate members
total 2,088. Since the annual meeting last October, the
State division increased 2,409; the County division
increased 2,376; Associate members increased 410, mak~
ing ® total increase of 5,195.

Congratulations are in order to our members, chapter
officers and committees, regional conferences, State-
wide officers, committees, and staff, all of whom con-
tributed to this progress.

‘Ways and means of strengthening our membership
were reviewed at two meetings of our committee since
the last October meeting. Our committee offered assist~
ance to chapters re the conduct of their membership
campaign. We consulted and guided field and headquart~
ers staff on our overall effort. New attractive member-
ship appeal material has been distributed to all chapters.

Our committee makes the following recommendations:

October, 1967.

© We urge all chapters to assure that their
membership committee 1s complete, active, well
informed, and is convassing and recanvassing all
non-members to join CSEA.

® Each chapter and regional conference empha-
size the need for membership effort at all their
meetings.

© New employees be canvassed for CSEA mem-
bership promptly upon reporting for work—the first
day, if possible—chapter membership committees
should organize systems to assure such canvass.

© CSEA dues be adjusted as necessary to assure
sufficient funds to underwrite the cost for services
needed by members, to assure necessary participa-
tion by members in chapter and unit activities, to
enable effective representation of members relative
to their terms and conditions of employment, and
their active support in the more formal collective
bargaining activities which will probably be accorded
by new statutes being considered in the present leg-
islative session,

Island chapter officers so that these courses a

made available in the other regions of the State

for chapter leaders.

© Urge all chapter officers and committees to
keep in mind that during each year 10 percent of
membership is lost through resignations, retirements
and deaths. To accomplish the membership goal
of 150,000 for this year, about 24,000 new members
must be attained, It is evident that the efforts of
all chapter officers and membership committees are
needed to canvass and recanvass ail non-members
to join CSEA.

Membership report lsting each chapter is attached.
This report indicates the number of new members ob-
tained since October 1st.

Working together, we can attain our 150,000 mem-
bership goal. The effort made in each and every
chapter is vital.

Grievance
By MAURICE SOKOLINSKY, Chairman

One of the first orders of business of this committee
was to consider how existing grievance machinery at
State and local levels could be improved and strengthened,

The committee recommends that all agency proced-
ures include specific language to provide for con-
ference procedures, This is to hold general meetings,
with an agenda supplied in advance, between CSEA
representatives and agency or institution head, This is
especially important at local level—institutions, the
district office, and the local offive,

It 1s believed that some agency procedures either do
Not provide for local general conferences or that the
language implementing these conferences may not be
adequate, A typical procedure may be summarized as
follows:

Each department or major agency should hold
conferences with CSEA representatives on broad

Ro CORR es

toples relating to conditions of por and con-
tinved improvement of procedures and work con-
ditions other than specific group or individual griev-
ances. Consideration shoald be given at these con-
ferences to general matters such as proposed new
rules or policy, or changes therein, or new programs
and procedures to be established at the local level.
The group representing CSEA should be kept small.
‘These conferences should be held at least four times
® year and Identified as being under the auspices
of the grievance procedure. The CSEA representa-
tives should submit @ written agenda well in advance
of the meeting but should not preclude free dis-
cussion.

The committee reaffirms the earlier recommendation
and policy of this committee in which it has requested
chapters to report to headquarters summaries of their
grievance activity at local level. The committee recom-
mends that a separate special letter be written to chap-
ter presidents together with a supply of report forms
to accomplish this.

The committee considered Resolution A-15 which reads
as follows:

A-15—Provide 45-Day Time Limit On Grievances
“RESOLVED, that the Assosiation take all necessary
steps to amend the State Grievance Procedure to
provide for a 45-day time limit after receipt of an
appeal for the Grievance Appeals Board to render
decision.”

‘This resolution ts a carry forward from earlier siml-
lar resolutions. Almost immediately before the October
delegate meeting, the Grievance Appeals Board rendered
® negative decision, It is the feeling of this Committee
that in light of continued expressed desire by the dele-
@ates for this 45-day time limit that the Association
should request the Grievance Appeals Board to recon-
sider its earlier decision and request an opportunity
to be heard by the Grievance Appeals Board. Your
chairman in concert with the Association plans on taking
immediate steps to accomplish this.

The chairman reviewed with the committee, the “An-
nual Report of the Grievance Appeals Board for 1965”
which had recently been received. The committee
expressed great concern at the relatively few grievances
processed by CSEA and that a relatively large number
of agencies report that no conferences were held to
discuss employee matters during that year.

All of us are most conscious of pending legislation with
respect to formalizing employer-employee labor relation-
ship at State and local level. It is important that there
be an increased consciousness of the availibility and
desirability of using existing grievance procedures for
the best possible representation of our members.

The committee recommends that a strong appeal be
sent to all State awd county chapters urging greater
participation in this area.

‘The committee plans on a meeting late in spring to
review with legal counsel the provisions of the man-
dated grievance procedure for local Governmnet with
respect to the adequacy and effectiveness of that ma-
ehinery, It also plans to explore what improvements
can be made in State and local government griev-
ance procedures to make them more effective.

The committee would welcome the receipt of any
problems that are identified by any of our representa-
tives both at State and local level within its jurisdic~
tion. It offers to these representatives any assistance it
can give with respect to advice and guidance when rules
and regulations of a public agenoy are being changed
or modified.

As reported to you at our October meeting in Buffalo
our committee is working on & plan for qa panel of
attornies in each of several regions in the State (ine
cluding our regional attornies). qualified in every re+
Spect to serve our members under each of the three
catagories of our legal aid program.

This project is very complex and, of necessity, it will
take considerable time to work up such a panel. Our
committee is still working on this item and we hope
to have a fuller report in connection therewith by the
October, 1967, meeting.

We wish to report to the delegates on the status and
cost of legal actions approved and undertaken on
behalf of our members for the period from October 1,
1965 through January 31, 1967,

During this period our Association paid out the sum
of $18,172.64 for legal assistance under our program,
‘This amount includes fees paid for legal assistance in
disciplinary proceedings, Grievance Appeals Board hear-
ings and actions in court under Article 78, It does not
include the sum of $20,000 which was allocated for
legal fees in court action involving certain income
taxes tried to be imposed on a large group of our
members in institutions by the Federal Government,
‘These actions are now pending in the U.S, District Court
in the Rochester and Buffalo area,

CSEA 1967 Committee Reports

(Continued from Page 14)

Legal
By ABRAHAM KRANKER, Chairman

During the period covered by this report there were
18 disciplinary cases where legal assistance was ap-
proved to commence court actions under Article 78
proceeding to review adverse decisions, n ten cases the
decisions are still unknown since the actions are still
pending and undecided, In two cases the decisions were
adverse to the member. The total fees paid under these
Article 78 proceedings was $6,127.64,

Fees paid out for legal assistance in disciplinary pro-
eeedings and Grievance Appeals Board hearings amount-
ed to $11,945.00 In 42 cases of which ten were unsuccess-
ful, that ts, the members were found guilty and dis-
missed or their grievances were disallowed. In five
eases the results are either unknown or not yet available
‘to our committee. The rest of the cases, 27 in all, the
decisions were favorable to our members.

In addition to the above 42 matters, we are com-
mitted for fees for legal assistance in about ten or 12
more cases which are still pending and for which no
bills have been submitted as yet. In all of these latter
eases the fees would be within our fee schedule

During the period a number of actions were com-
menced in Court by our counsel under the retainer
agreement with our Association. Some are still pending.
In two of them we were successful—one being the test-
ing of the State law requiring political subdivisions to
pay higher salaries for certain welfare workers with
higher college degrees. Another action still pending was
commenced by our counsel at the request of the New
York City chapter against the Civil Service Commission
to test the validity and necessity for holding an oral
examination for position of associate insurance examiner,
(complaints) in the State Insurance Department

‘We are pleased to tearn from counsel that legislation
thas been submitted to the current session to implement
Resolution L-65 (October, 1966) which provides:

To amend Section 75 of the Civil Service Law
to provide other than agency hearing officers, that
all hearings required under that section be held
by independent hearing officers to be appointed
pursuant to the Civil Service Law and its rules
and that their determination should be binding on
the appointing authority which brought the charges.
‘The legislation also provides that political subdivi-
sions may contract to utilize the services of such
hearing officers

Public Relations

, By RAYMOND G. CASTLE, Chairman

The public relations committee is happy to report
that our film, “Accent On Service,” which has been
under revision, has been completed and is being dis-
tributed in the same channels as previously, i.e., theater,
‘T.V, stations, community groups, The committee feels
the revision ts well worthwhile and recommends to all
chapters and conferences that they secure @s many
showings in their areas as possible.

Detalied instructions on placement of the film will
be sent to each chapter and conference from CSEA
Headquarters immediately after the annual meeting.

‘The committee ls happy to note that its recommenda-
fon of last year, along with that of other committees,
for the addition of several field “organizing” personnel
to our staff, has been implemented in this year's bud-
get which calls for the addition to the staff of five new
field representatives,

The public relations committee also has spent @
great deal of time discussing the Constitutional Con-
vention and its possible ramifications on public em-
Ployees throughout the State. The committee, as it
reported in October, feels that one of the Association's
greatest weapons in defending the merit system and
public employees benefits in general against any pos-
sible weakening through amendments to the State Con-
stitution is publicity and public relations,

No one can anticipate what emergencies might arise
this year as result of legislative action on the Condon-
Wadiin Law or during the Constitutional Convention,
which begins next month; emergencies, which would
demand quick action by our entire membership or
necessitate, for instance, a State-wide advertising cam-
paign, ov other specialized literature and communica
tion materials. To accomplish these things, adequate
funds must be available to secure the specialized help
that would be needed. For this reason, the committee
feels that $10,000 of the special public relations fund
of $13,000 now in the CSEA budget be set aside for
use in securing specialized outside talent such as ad-

vertising agencies, public relations firms, ete., ete., for
use in emergency projects, subject to the approval of
the budget consulttee and the president.

The committee also discussed the serious need to
increase the size of the CSEA staff in general, and
its public relations department tn particular, if the
Association expects to service its ever-growing mem-
bership with any degree of success, The public rela-
tions department for instance, has remained at its
same size for years, despite a membership growth of
more than 100 percent in the past seven or eight years.
‘The committee recommends that the Association seri-
ously consider appointment of two new members of
the public relations staff in the title of “communica-
tions specialist”, approximate State Grade 16, Consid-
ering the scope of Association activities and the pace
under which Association work must be accomplished,
the committee feels that this title and grade would
best fit the purpose for which the positions are intended,

Staff members in this position would be responsible
for the whole area of communications work with which
the Association is now concerned and should be experi-
enced and knowledgeable in the field before being hired.

‘The committee realizes the serious shortage of work-
ing space in our present headquarters, and recom-
mends that these two new positions be approved without
delay so that they will have been hired when CSEA's
new headquarters building, now under construction, is
ready for use,

In addition, the public relations committee feels that
the public relations department should have a specific
budget with which to work each year so that a full
year’s program can be worked out in advance, includ-
ing approximate costs.

In closing, the public relations committee would like
to thank the staff and their fellow members of the
Association for the invaluable help and counsel given
to the public relations committee in its work.

Education
By CELESTE ROSENKRANZ, Chairman

The education committee {s pleased to report signi-
ficant implementation of its recommendations for vari-
ous training programs submitted to the aelegate body
during the past Association year. These accomplish-
metns include:

CSEA headquarters staff for chapter officers, to

date, presented in four conferences: Long Island,

Capital District, Metropolitan, and Central, The

two remaining conferences are expected to arrange

similar workshops in the coming months.

© Intensive, one-week seminars for CSEA head-
quarters and field staff at New York State's School
of Industrial and Labor Relations at Cornell. Cov-
ered subject area included labor relations in general,
with special emphasis on organizing and collective
bargaining background and procedure,

© A recent successful training program on the
same subject within the Long Island Conference, in
which the conference—on its own initiative—was
the first CSEA regional group to arrange for its
local chapter officers newly-available, free instruc-
tion in collective bargaining offered in a series of
evening classes conducted by extension specialists of

Cornell’s Industrial and Labor Relations School.

In connection with the latter, to prepare Association
officers and staff to function effectively in the emer
ing new era of public employee-employer relations, the
education committee recommends that high priority be
given to the establishing of widespread training pro-
grams in collective bargaining and employee representa
tion. Por the training of chapter officers, specifically,
the committee recommends participation on a regional
conference basis in the free extension courses offered
by the Industrial and Labor Relations School, as the
service becomes available throughout the State,

Consideration is also, being given to the arranging of
® specialized training session for new delegates at the
beginning of next October's annual meeting to faml-
Marize them with thelr duties and responsibilittes and
enable them to do a better job. Thus far, the committee
envisions a reception between 4 to 6 p.m. on the first day
of the meeting, to which new delegates and Statewide
officers would be invited, and at which « general orien-
tation program might be presented,

A sub-committee comprised of Harry Kolothros and
George Grover has been designated to explore possi-
bilities of establishing training programs to prepare
CSEA members for various civil service examinations.
Basic aspects, such as whether conferences or chapters
would be best suited to carry out such programs, will
be studied and recommendations submitted to the next
meeting of the full committee.

Ao availability date of the first week in May—

conourrent with the committee's next mecting—hus’ boom -

set for the new edition of the chapter officers’ manual.

‘The new manual will be in the form of a loose-leat
binder to permit future revisions on a selective, continu- |
ing basis, eliminating the waste of discarding and re-
printing complete editions.

‘The committee again wishes to make known that its
assistance and resources are readily available to other
Association committees seeking help or guidance in the
general area of educational activity.

County Division
By RUTH HEACOX, Chairman

‘The committee met on Feb. 17, 1967 and, after due
deliberation and discussion, adopted and strongly urged
the following recommendations be approved by the
delegates at the March 1967 meeting and then ime
plemented by CSEA Headquarters as soon as possible.

© That an office be established at CSEA Head- 4
quarters and staffed with an experienced “director”
who Is knowledgeable in county and municipal prob-
lems. Said office to have adequate clerical per-
sonnel for the sole: purpose of servicing political
subdivision chapters throughout the State.

© That the five new fieldmen scheduled to be
appointed on April 1, 1967, be assigned to fixed
areas throughout the State for the primary pur-
pose of soliciting membership in the areas to which
they are assigned.

© That additional time be alloted by the Asso-
ciation to County Division chapter delegates at both
the March and October delegate meetings for the
purpose of conducting business meetings. The com-
mittee specifically recommends that County Division
delegates be permitted at CSEA expense, to ar-
rive at the meeting site one day in advance of Stat

Division delegates and to conduct a business session

on the afternoon and evening of such date. Also

that the new CSEA “Director of County Affairs" and

a CSEA attorney be assigned to attend said meet-

ing. The “director should prepare the agenda in

conjunction with the county officer and chairman
of the county executive committee.

Union Activities »
By VITO FERRO, Chairman ‘

This committee met un Feb. 23, 1967, and discussed
available information with respect to union activities
among public employees in New York State. It reviewed
figures reflecting the growth of competing organizations,
4s well as our own. ‘The committee continues to affirm
that the CSEA has unquestionably demonstrated that
it is the most effective representative in New York State,

The committee recommends to the delegates, to chap-
er officers, and to all other CSEA representatives that
efforts be intensified to recruit members at the time
of their employment. This is the time that a new
employee has the greatest interest in effective repre-
sentation, and will also serve to attract young people
into the organization. The CSEA representatives a
urged to try to directly interest these new and young
members into becoming active in chapter affairs. The
committee urges the CSEA representatives to intensify
their activities In terms of recruiting new members and
serving new members at @ local level, It believes that
such success as the unions have had has been because
of their intensive effort at local levels.

The committee believes that good publicity should be
given to the names of local representatives so that
the members, and, especially new members, may know
to whom they may turn to for nelp if they need it,
for information. Each chapter and unit of the Associ
tion should post on bulletin boards the names of chapte!
officers, their location and their telephone numbers.

While not still directly under the auspices of this
committee, lt recommends a greater utilization of the
grievance process, “both with the respect to assisting
individuals and groups, as well as through the use of
conferences at the local level with emphasis at local level,

Any representative who comes on information con-
cerning union activity should forward it to headquarters
so that there is a full awareness as to just what the
union is doing. Ths committee continued to give its
attention to the problem of dual membership and does
not feel that it is proper for an officer or a nominee
to be a member of the union,

The delegates ave urged to have wide spread mem-
ber participation in chapter affairs, The Association
prides itself on its democracy which can best be achieved
by full membership participation, and keeping the lead-
ership on as broad a basis as is possible.

The committee also notes the continuing public in-
terest in the matter of collective negotiations and format
representation of public employees in New York State.
We urge continued effort to secure sole bargaining rights
for the CSEA, We also urge continued publicity,
eluding the Civil Service Leader in exposing the union’
false bv excessive claims that they continue to make,
