— BULLETIN —

As The Leader was being run off the presses it was
learned that the Civil Service Employees Assn, and the
State Administration had agreed on a new contract. The
pact, effective April 1, 1972, includes a 5.5 percent pay
increase, job protection, and retention of retirement and
other benefits, Full details next week.

By PAUL KYER

Defying a court injunction against a strike, Civil Service
Employees Assn. workers at State institutions began walking
off the job shortly after midnight last Saturday and at
Leader presstime the job action had spread throughout
the State.

By Monday of this week, the walkout s expected to
affect nearly every phase of State operations, including the
shutdown of unemployment compensation offices, licensing
bureaus, race track operations, tax collections, welfare serv-
ices, etc

The action, unprecedented in either the history of the
State or the Employees Association, came after a groundswell
of protest over inadequate offers on a pay raise, pension and
insurance benefits and a host of other items, and swelled Into
an earthquake of indignation among employee ranks.

What sparked the furor
agreement on a pay raise-

as the discovery that tentative
set at four percent In a formula
that actually would have delayed any new money showing up
in checks for a year—did not include continuation of many
benefits contained in the CSEA's current contract which
expired on midnight March 31

This discovery caused the CSEA negotiating team to
slam the door shut on further talks and to order a strike,
Attempts to deliver a court injunction against the action were
unsuccessful as Employees Association officials and members
of the negotiating team closeted themselves at CSEA Head-
quarters and prepared to follow the mandate for statewide
action, as demanded by CSEA delegates at their recent con-
vention, even before any court order could be delivereu,

One union official told The Leader that “if there was
ever a case of the extreme provocation clause written into the
Taylor Law, this is it. The State has in no way bargained
with us in good faith, We have no contract as a result of this
monumental indifference and we defy the State to punish
people for working without a contract."

The situation was exacerbated further by the fact that
other governmental jurisdictions, from the Federal Govern-
ment to New York City to towns and counties throughout the
State, have reached contracts ) public employee unions
and nearly all of them have included wage hikes and other
economic benefits.

At stake for some 140,000 State workers Is not only a
salary increase but a host of benefits in the old contract
that included pension benefits that were on a temporary
basis; health insurance coverage; sick leave and vacation
rights, job protection and other items, some of which took

Fire Widows Need More

IM UP TO here with the lies and the distortions of the
daily newspapers radio and television stations on the subject
of pensions for firefighters.

There isn’t a single reporter in New York — all of
whom pose as experts on the subject — who knows how our
pension system works, and who knows of the serious de-
ficiencies in it,

Our pension is only good when we're alive. The most
glaring weakness in the program is that it leaves a retired
firefighter’s wife and minor children virtually destitute if
he dies.

My father, a retired Battalion Chief, retired at the
age of 52 in 1954. He had spent 23 years in the busiest fire
units in this city. One year later he died. My mother re-
ceived $29, which was all that was left of my father's money
in the pension fund. In addition, she received $50 per month
for herself and a 15-year-old daughter.

OF COURSE today things are much better. Now the
widow of a retired firefighter receives $106 a month. That
sounds like twice as much money as my mother received,
but in these days of madcap inflation, it buys about the
same number of eggs and slices of cheese. Chopped meat Is
too expensive for a firefighter's widow.

Lest anyone think $106 per month is sufficient, I’m
talking about widows of men who come under the old Article
One pension system. Article 1B widows receive zero when
their husbands die,

Line of duty widows fare somewhat better, receiving
half their husbands’ salaries, but there is no cost-of-living
increase included. If they are relatively young widows, with
young families, inflation will wipe out their pensions before
the children are old enough for college.

THE EDITORIAL writers, in particular, hammer away
at us when we ask for pension improvements. They are
silent on the fact that for many years firefighters had a
full-pay pension after 35 years, and now the city is offering
an illusory 40-year pension. I say illusory because a fire-
fighter cannot work 40 years in this job anymore, We come
into the job, on an average, at the age of 27. We are forced
to retire at 65, if we live that long. The single most convinc-
ing argument we have for special consideration is that a
firefighter dies nine years sooner than the average man.

I think if you woke an editorial writer up from a sound
sleep, he would agree that a firefighter deserves special con-
sideration on pensions because we have tougher, more haz-
ardous duties. But those fellows will never write it in thelr
newspapers, and I know why. It is because they are afraid
that if improved pensions are given to firefighters, every
other City worker would want it too.

That is nqt a good reason to perpetuate an injustice to
us. The answer is to insist on public officials who have the
guts to do what Is right, and then stand firm against what
is wrong.

e, a. 8

IN BOSTON and in San Francisco, the widow of a police-
man or a firefighter killed in the line of duty receives a full
pay pension,

In Atlanta, she receives three-quarters. In Detroit and
in Jacksonville, it is two-thirds, In addition, most major
cities make provision for minor children.

In the richest city In the world, New York City, a fire-
fighters killed in the line of duty leaves a widow who re-
celves half-pay, with no escalator clause, no provision for
minor children, and no consumer price Index clause.

Our widows haven't received an increase in pension in
six years. In that time the cost of living has gone up here
by 35.9 percent.

The New York State poverty level for a family of four
4s $5,050. Editorial writers, take note. You say our pensions
are exorbitant, yet our widows qualify as poverty families,

As I said, I'm up to here with Hes and distortions,

the CSEA years of hard fighting to obtain,

CSEA spokesmen reportedly insist the strike will con-
tinue until a justifiable contract is concluded. “We tried for
months to do this thing the right way, the peaceful way.
First the State stalled us; then it ignored us completely and
then, when talks were finally reached on what we believed
was a more serious basis, double-crossed us. There isn’t a
working man or woman in the United States who has to
put up with this slave labor treatment,” one CSEA officer
told The Leader.

Because of the fluid situation,

Issue Out-of-Title Work

> Hint Job Action By Caseworkers

A referendum on possible job action by Social Service Employees Union members will
be proposed at the union's next delegate meeting scheduled for April 6.

The demand for job action, according to Local 371 vice-president John Talbot, grows
out of City inaction on its pledge to hire more income maintenance specialists to relieve
caseworkers now doing out-of-title work.

Local 371 represents some

1,400 Social Service Department

caseworkers citywide, as well as

® nearly 1,200 employees in de-
partmental clerical positions.

Talbot contends that when the

City reorganized the Department

last October, many of his case-

was endorsed by the City, calls
for hiring 250 new specialist per-
sonnel every two weeks through
October 1972, The City specifi-
cally exempted this title from the
hiring freeze to fulfill its agree-
at.

doning thelr traditional field predicted delegate approval of
casework. Negotiations between the job action referendum if the

How To End The Strike

8 these lines are being written, members of the Civil

Service Employees Assn., representing some 140,000
State workers, are staging the first strike in the history of
their decades-old union. The walkout was not caused by
callous public employees with no regard for the public wel-
fare but was precipitated by months of indifferent, cynical
and bad-faith bargaining on the part of the State Admin-
istration.

The problem has been further exacerbated by a host of
propaganda painting State workers as employees bloated
from fat pay checks, lusclous pension benefits, swift retire-
ment and lazy work conditions. Well, some 85 percent of the
State’s work force earns between $6,000 and $8,000 a year.
The accepted minimum wage to provide adequately for a
family of four is around $11,000. Overpaid? The average
State worker retires on a pension of between $3,000 and $4,000
a year, Lucrative retirement?

These figures may be new to the general public but they
are not new to the Administration or to members of the
Legislature.

Now, when the State finally did come up with an offer
of a four percent pay raise that was not even payable this year
even the rank and file civil servant started to revolt, For a
time benefits contained in the recently expired contract of
the Employees Association were even in doubt.

At Leader press time, it was learned that the State had
hurriedly agreed to let employees keep their current bene-
fits but the message came too late and employees began
to walk off the job because, under any circumstances, they
knew they did not have the protection of a contract.

We hope by the time this edition of The Leader reaches
our readers that the State comes to its senses and stops these
inept moves that have provided CSEA members with the
basis for charging the State with extreme provocation to
the point of justifying Job action,

The solution is really straightforward at this point.
Give the employees a decent raise immediately; stop trying
to turn the clock back on other benefits, and get a new
contract signed.

From the point of view of the
typical legislator, the past is pro-
logue to their political future.
Inevitably when the next ses-
sion of the Legisiature meets in
January of 1973, some famillar
faces will be gone from the ecene
and new faces will make their
apapearance in the legislative
chambers,

‘The exodus has already begun.
Senator Samuel Greenberg, who
has been a Senate ornament for
30 years and the Democrats’
principal spokesman on fiscal
years is slated to retire, Also re-
tiring ls Assemblyman Prank G.
Rossetti of Manhattan, the rank-
ing Democratic member of the
Assembly Labor Committee, As-
semblyman Prank Walkley of
Erle County will remain in Al-
bany but as Commissioner of the
Department of Agriculture, rath-
er than as legislator. Assembly-
woman Constance E, Cook of
Ithaca, Chairman of the Stand-
ing Committee on Education, will
Jeave her seat in an effort to
become the first woman Judge
of the State Court of Appeals,

Assemblyman Leonard Simon
of Brooklyn will surrender his
seat to enter a primary contest
for the Congressional seat held
by Congressman Bertram L, Po-
dell, also a former Assemblyman.
Assemblyman William Passan-
nant and Anthony G, DiFaleo
are estimating their prospects
for a primary race against Con-
gressman John Murphy, in a
new Congressional District that
covers Staten Island and lower
Manhattan. Should either or
both decide to take the plunge,
their seats in the Assembly would
become vacant.

Assemblywoman Mary Anne
Krupsak of Canajobarie is seri-
ously considering a race for the
State Senate, Should she make
the race and win, Ms. Krupsak
will be the only woman mem-
ber in the Upper Chamber,

30 Expected To Leave

By the time next January
rolls around, additional familiar
faces will be replaced by new
members a5 more make public
announcement of retirement
plans, as some incumbents may
lose thelr seats in the primary
battles of June 20, and others
may lose them on Election Day
in November, Experts in these
things estimate a minimum
turnover o¢ 30 members.

Principally at stake in the
changes in legislative member-
ship is legislative control of each
House and implicit In control of
the Assembly are the guberna-
torial prospects of Assembly
Speaker Perry B. Duryea, Jr. The
power, prestige and patronage of
the Speaker's office are import-
ant ingredients in Assemblyman
Duryea’s political power base,
as he heads towards what ap-
pears to be an inevitable con-
frontation for the 1974 Republi-
ean nomination for Governor
with Lieut. Gov. Malcolm Wilson
and possibly other contenders
for the nomination,

The Democrats are hopeful of
capturing the Assembly, which
would elevate Assembly Minority
Leader Stanley Stelngut to
Speaker, despite the new ap-
pointment of legislative seats,
which should be helpful to the
Republicans, The Democrats also
speak wistfully about gaining
control of the State Senate but
are willing to concede privately
that it is not likely that Senate

Improper Employer Practices

THE NEW YORK State Court of Appeals has upheld the
right of the Public Employment Relation Board (PERB) to
issue orders remedying improper employer practices where
such employers have been found to be in violation of the

Taylor Law (Article 14 of the New York State Civil Service
Law).

In this case, PERB found that the City of Albany had
violated Section 209(a) (1) (A) and (a) (1) (C) by trans-
ferring three firemen who were members of APPFA (one
of whom was demoted) to different fire companies in order
to discourage these employees from exercising their rights
under Section 202 of the Act to “form,” Join, and participate
in any employee organization of their own choosing.” Pur-
suant to its finding, PERB directde the City of Albany to
(1) offer these employees reinstatement to their former
positions, (2) cease and desist from similar discriminatory
or coercive conduct towards its employees, and (3) post a
notice of the PERB decision at locations ordinarily used by
it for written communications to its employees (Iit is inter-
esting to note the similarity of these remedies to those em-
ployed in the private sector by both the National Labor Re-
lations Board and the State Labor Relations Board where
there has been a finding of an unfair labor practice).

THE APPELLATE DIVISION had upheld PERB in 36
A.D, 2d 348 and the City of Albany appealed, (See Leader
column 6-15-71). The Court of Appeals considered two issues:
(1) whether PERB has the statutory authority to direct a
public employer to reinstate to their former positions em-
ployees whom the employer had transferred and demoted
in violation of their rights under Article 14 of the Civil Ser-
vice Law, and (2) whether PERB’s requirement that the City
of Albany post notices to its employees that it will correct
the violations found by PERB and will not engage in similar
activities in the future was arbitrary and capricious.

When the Taylor Law was enacted in 1967 granting
public employees the right to organize, the Act did not spe-
cifically empower PERB to remedy violations of this right,
although Section 205 did authorize PERB to “exercise such
other powers, as may be appropriate to effectuate the pur-
poses and provisions of this article.” Recognizing this statu-
tory deficiency, the Legislature enacted Section 209(a) (1)
(A) in 1969. This section makes it an improper practice

e

for a public employer “to interfere with, restrain, or coerce. ®

public employees in the exercise of their rights guaranteed
in Section 202 for the purpose of depriving them of such
rights.” Further, the Legislature considered it an improper
practice “to discriminate against any employee for the pur-
pose of encouraging or discouraging membership in, or par-
ticipation in the activities of any employee organization”
(Section 209(a) (1) (C), The Legislature also empowered
PERB “to establish procedures for the prevention of im-
proper employer and employee organization practices” and
declared that PERB shall exercise exclusive non-delegable
jurisdiction of the powers granted to it by this paragraph,
(Section 205 (5) (a).

THE CITY OF ALBANY contended here that PERB did
not have this power, at is would permit the Board to usurp
the discretionary authority granted to officers of state and
local government in administering their offices. The court
rejected this argument, stating, “The city cannot, under the
guise of exercising ministerial or management prerogatives,
deprive its employees of their statutory rights to form, join
or participate in an employee organization.” A determina-

tion made by a public employer in Its legitimate exercise of @

supervisory employees is not subject to review by PERB
unless such a decision is designed to intimidate or coerce its
employees with respect to union activity specifically pro-
tected by the statute. While PERB has the burden of estab-
lishing such a violation, where such burden is sustained, it
has the power to prescribe reasonable remedies. The Court
of Appeals found that reinstatement was a reasonable exer
else of PERB's jurisdiction,

The court also held that posting was reasonable, but

that PERB does not have the authority to require that the gg

City of Albany confess violation of the Act by a published
announcement that it will “cease and desist” from violating

CSEA VOTES TO TAKE POLITICAL STANDS

KIAMESHA LAKE—Civil Service Employees Assn.’s tra-
ditional stance of neutrality in politics became a footnote In
history as the statewide delegate body, meeting at the Con-
cord during the week of March 20, voted to take sides on
political issues and candidates that affect civil service,

Because of the exceptional importance of political ac-
tion, the full text of the report is printed below.

THE TEXT

On December 11, 1971 Presi-
dent Wenzl wrote all State of-
ficers, members of the State
Board of Directors and confer-
ence and chapter presidents re-
garding the necessity for inno-
vative and progressive action in
all areas of CSEA operations, in-
cluding legislative and political
activity. He outlined steps taken
to insure that our membership
would be represented in the crit-
ieal period facing CSEA.

Among other things, he an-
nounced the appointment of a
new and expanded Legislative
Committee and asked the Legis-
lative Committee to meet jointly
with the Special Political Action
Committee to review our current
legislative and political efforts.
Specifically, he asked the two
committees to consider various
recommendations regarding
abandonment of CSEA’s tradi-
tional role of non-partisanship
and neutrality on a statewide
basis, and more active participa-
tion in both local and statewide
campaigns (e.g. through endorse-
ments, fund raising and pro
sion of personnel and services.)

He reported further that he
was recommending to the Con-
stitution and By-Laws Commit-
tee that they include in their
report at this delegates’ meeting
& proposal to abolish the Legis-
lative Committee as a standing
committee and replace {t with
& new committee to be called the
Tegislative and Political Action
Committee

He also asked the Legislative
and Political Action Committees
to establish and to implement
immediately an exchange with
chapter and conference Legisla-
tive and Political Action Com-
mittees to give credibility and
meaning to any positions taken
as a result of their review and
recommendations of our current
Legislative and Political Action
Program and any alteration in
existing policies previously adop-
ted by the delegates,

On December 23, 1971 Presi-
dent Wenzl again communicated
by letter to State officers, mem-
bers of the State Board of Direc-
tors and conference and chapter
presidents regarding our legisla-
tive and political action pro-
grams, He established in that re-
port to top State and local CSEA
officials a schedule for meetings
among and between appropriate
officers, director committees
and local members which occur-
red on the following dates:

1. January 12, 1972 at 7:30
pm, Joint meeting of
statewide Legislative and

Political Action Committees,
January 13, 1972 at 9 am,
— Statewide officers meeting
January 13, 1972 at 2 p.m—
State Board of Directors
meeting
January 25, 1972 at 1 pm.—
Joint meeting of Statewide
Legislative and Political Ac-
tion Committees with chap-
ter and conference Legisla-
tive and Political Action
Committees chairmen,
Pursuant to this change from
@r president, your committees

~

have reviewed CSEA's present
Position of neutrality and non-
partisanship on a statewide basis,
in the light of recent develop-
ments and current conditions,
and the data received at our
several meetings.

We find that our former po-
sition was based upon the follow-
ing findings, analyses and con-
clusions from the report last
adopted by our delegates at their
September 8, 1970 meeting:

“More importantly, organt-
zational endorsements should
rest upon a clear demonstra-
tion of member Interests and
desires. In any large organiza-
tion of such divergent and
multifarious interests, back-
grounds and philosophies. an
accurate assessment of mem-
bership opinion is difficult, if
not impossible, in the current
political setting. It is the con-
clusion of the Committee that
this natural inhibition to en-
dorsement requires a clear
preponderence of other factors
in favor of alteration of
CSEA's current policy of non-
Partisanship on statewide {s-
sues. Moreover, there are legal
Prohibitions to government
employee political action under
certain circumstances; and,
though not directly involved
or controlling in this situation,
the Committee weighed this
unique feature of the civil ser-
vice commitment in its delib-
erations. As we indicate else-
where, no preponderance of
other factors in favor of any
change of position now exists
in our view.

“In addition, the Taylor Law
places emphasis on collective
negotiations as the primary
method for securing member
benefit improvements. While
the law is evolutionary rather
than revolutionary in this re-
Spect, political action ts none-
theless minimized as a bar-
gaining tool. The continued
necessity for legislative ratifi-
cation of statewide negotiated
contracts only emphasizes the
importance of local political
action programs and does not
bear upon statewide candidate
endorsements,

“These factors must all be
assessed together; and the
Committee recognizes that,
though the standards for
measurement might remain
constant, changing conditions
and political environment
might alter the proper conclu-
sion. The committee recognizes
further that CSEA’s support ts
actively solicited by competing
candidates both because of its
size and the intimacy of tts
members’ Interests to the op-
eration of the political process.

“The committee, therefore,
carefully re-evaluated CSEA‘s
current program in the light
of the forthcoming election. It
fully considered previous Spe-
¢elal Political Action Commit-
tee reports and earlier dis-
cussions by both the Board of

Directors and the Delegates

but makes its current recom~-

mendations on a review of all
salient facts and ¢lrcum-

CSEA first vice-president Thomas McDonough, center,

in his role as chairman of the political action commit-
tee, replies to a delegate at the statewide delegates
meeting at the Coneord, as CSEA president Theodore
C. Wenal, left, and counsel Jack C, Rice deliberate the

situation,

Richard Tarmey
stances,
“The Committee finds the ad-
vantages obtainable from or-

ganizational endorsement of
any specific statewide candi-
date remain minimal. It recog-
nizes the generally favorable
orientation of all current state-
wide candidates’ platforms and
expressed positions. It investi-
gated the position of compet-
ing labor groups and finds di-
vision and fragmentation in
thelr position, where specific
political action has already
been taken, In the current en-
vironment, therefore, the com-
mittee concludes that the cur-
rent policy of non-partisan-
ship and neutrality should be
continued."

The bases of our current policy
were therefore determined to be
(2) a@ recognition that member-
ship interests and desires in this
fleld are divergent and difficult
to determine accurately, (2) the
Taylor Law placed emphasis on
collective negotiations rather
than legislative and political ac-
tivity, as the primary source of
member benefit improvements,
and (3) the espousal of generally
favorable positions by all of the
then current candidates made
choices difficult or impractical.

‘The committee and our dele-~
gates observed, however, that
“changing conditions and politic-
al environment might alter the
proper conclusion.” It is the
committees’ opinion that recent
developments and future anticl-
pated problems necessitate a
change in CSEA's statewide po-
sition in this field,

Pirst, general economic condi-
tions and the alleged fiscal situa-
tion of both state and local gov-
ernments have required public
officials to establish new prior-
ities for available funds. This has
sharpened the foous on the pre-

viously blurred
respects:

(1) Tt has required public of-
ficials to elect between
legitimate employee bene-
fit programs and other de-
mands for public approp-
riations, thereby afford-
ing the prospect of @
clearly established record
for Incumbent officials on

Picture in two

matters of concern to
CSEA and its membership;
and

(2)

It has identified as items
of predominant Interest
for CSEA members both
on the State and local
level, State executive
branch and legislative ac-
tion in the fields of wage
inoreases, pensions, job se-
curity and other terms and
conditions of employment.

Second, recent amendments to
the Taylor Law and new retire-
ment limitations have regressed
from the Taylor Law's original
emphasis on collective negotia-
tions as the primary method for
determination of terms and con-
ditions of employment, For ex-
ample, the Legislature last year
enacted bills to remove the rep-
resentation rights for so-called
“management-confidential" em-
ployees and imposed restrictions
on use of retirement credits for
final average salary computa-
tons in the State's Pension Sys-
tem. The pension legislation was
declared unconstitutional by the
Court of Appeals in a law suit
brought by the chairman of our
legal committee and sponsored by
us and we are attacking the con-
stitutionality of the “manage-
ment - confidential’ legislation;
but the vestiges of both these
Pieces of legislation remain.

In addition, the statutory es-
tablishment of a “Pension Com-
mission” to review all negotiated
pension agreements was a fur-
ther step backward and move-
ment away from the concept of
bilateral establishment of terms
and conditions of employment as
envisioned by the original Taylor
law,

In the weeks ahead, the Legis-
lature will act on the State's
1972-73 Executive Budget, our
current contracts covering ap-
proximately 150,000 State em-
ployees will expire, existing tem-
porary retirement benefits will
lapse, and the Administration
and Legislature will be required,
by affirmative action or refusal

to act to extend and improve
current terms and conditions of
employment. A better opportuns
ity for proof of commitment to
collective bargaining in the pub-
le sector and justified employee
improvement programs for State
and political subdivision em-

Ployees could hardly be provided

to the Administration and mem~

bers of the Legislature.

While the statewide officials do
not stand for re-election until
1974, the entire Legislature will
be elected this fall for the 1973-
‘74 sessions. As a result, it is our
committees’ belief that sufficient
information will be available to
make specific recommendations
to the delegates in September for
& position on Jesisiative candi+
dates in the November election.

Our recommendations to you
will be made with several con-
siderations:

(1) Individual records are more
reliable barometers of pol-
itical orientation and belief
than campaign promises;

(2) Specific legislative action in
isolated cases may inaccur-
ately reflect a candidate's
Position, unless ft ts viewed
in terms of overall perform-
ance, political orientation,
district representation, pol-
itical affiliation, and prior-
ity;
Endorsements may not be
possible in all cases, where
inadequate or questionable
information fs available, both
in the case of Incumbents
or candidates seeking elec~
tion for the first time;

Either support or opposition

should involve review of al-

ternatives provided by op-
posing candidates; and

The action taken must have

meaningful consequences in

the election to justify the
risks inherent in support for

a losing candidate or opposi-

tion to a victorious one,

On the latter point, the com-
mittees feel that immediate dem-
onstration of serious commitment
by the delegates to a viable, age
gressive program in this area is
Necessary to realize immediately
@ benefit from future proposed
activity, We therefore recom-
mend that the delegates instruct
the Board of Directors to allo-
cate the sum of $250,000 dor
establishment and implementa-
tion of a political action program
on the basis of an analysis and
report to be submitted to the
delegates at thelr annual meeting
in September of this year. This
fund would provide money to
establish a meaningful political
program, with all the devices for
communication to our member-
ship that are needed and support
for committee activities, under
the law. The monies for active
campaign funds would have to be
raised through voluntary contri-
butions.

We move the adoption of the
report and its recommendation
for abandonment of our role of
neutrality of statewide organiza-
tion and appropriation of $250,-
000 for the purposes set forth
herein,

The report was then amended
from the floor to add

“CSEA will pick certain legis-
laters who have shown them-
selves (0 be opposed to civil ser
vice workers and will work in
thelr districts to defeat them in
the primaries and in the general
election.”

On March 24th around 7:45 a.m., my sister who lives
in Valley Cottage, N. ¥., phoned 17-year-old Richard Macay-
lo, a neighbor, and asked him to drop over after school to
perform a few chores. He said he would. Fifteen minutes

later he was dead, killed in the
tragic bus crash. His father,
Nicholas Macaylo, is a fire-
(ighter in Engine 63, the Bronx.
Our hearts go out to you and
your wife Nick. Awfully sorry!
Another son, Clifford, was in-
jured but will live.

‘The tragic irony of this whole
affair is the fact that the driver
of the bus was Fireman Joseph
Larkin of Engine Company 84.
When his name {s mentioned,
everyone seems elther to lapse
into embarrassed silence or in-
stantly to cry out for his blood,
playing the part of prosecutor,
judge and jury as people these
days seem wont to do.

No matter what the findings
of the investigations prove to
be, there is one fact which
stands out and should cause a
lot of unthinking people to hang
their heads in shame,

The job of a professional fire-
fighter ts the most harrowing,
heartbreaking and tension-fill-
ed job on earth. Men don’t em-
brace the job because they love
fire. They do so because they
wish to protect other human
beings from its ravages. For a
firefighter to work as anything
but a firefighter ts demeaning.
Nevertheless, no man in this day
and age can possibly support
his family on a firefighter’s sal-
ary, The penny wisdom and the
pound-foolishness of the present
administration of the City of
New York ts the culprit that
placed Pireman Joseph Larkin
behind the wheel of that bus.
If his services to the people of
the City of New York were prop-
erly compensated for, neither he
nor any other of the myriad City
employees who do so would
have to hold down two jobs to
exist.

A mistake may or may not
have been made. However, let
the self-righteous breast-pound-
ing phonies among us look at
the whys as well as the where-
‘ores before crying out for the
blood of a fellow human being.
Good luck, Joe Larkin. I’m sor-
ry dor you, too! The Gethsemane
which you face is by no means
entirely of your own making.

subjects Greenburg goes on to
explore, I have a hunch we have

Judicial Conference

Adopts Rule Changes
For Court Employees

The Administrative Board
of the New York State Judi-
cial Conference has adopted
f series of changes In the
Career Service Rules, effective
April 1, modifying regulations
governing court and court agency
employees. These changes repre-
sent the updating of Judicial
Conference rules to keep pace
with changes in State Civil Ser-
vice Law.

Scholarship Offer

Nears Deadline

April 14 marks the last
chance for City employees to
apply for getting a graduate
scholarship in professional
management, offered by Pace
College. The scholarships pay
half of tuition, or $35 a credit.
Application blanks can be ob-
tained from the City Personnel
Department's Career Devel-
opment Bureau, 220 Church
St., Manhattan, Additional in-
formation can be recelyed by
phoning 566-8815.

‘The most important change,
according to a Judicial Confer-
ence spokesman, involves the
granting of contingent perman-
ent status to newly promoted
employees. As soon as an em-
ployee ls promoted to fill a tem-
porary vacancy, he is granted
contingent permanent status and
is accorded all of the rights of
& permanent employee, including
the accumulation of seniority
credits and the option to take
promotional examinations, Por-
merly, promotions to fill such
vacancies (military, maternity
leaves, ete.) were made only on
a temporary basis.

The Administrative Board also
ruled that, in the area of provi-
sional employees, a civil service
exam must be ordered after a
provisional employee has been
serving in a position for one
month, in order to keep the pro-
visional from serving for more
than nine months.

Other salient changes in Judi-
elal Conference rules include the
waiving of oath-taking prior to
appointment, Employees may
now substitute a statement to
comply with requirements for a
sworn oath.

‘The Board also formalized the
procedure of accepting employee
suggestions that promotional
exams be ordered, opening this
procedure as well to “certified
employee organizations.”

CIVIL SERVICE LEADER, Tuesday, April 4, 19

CONFERENCES PREPARE FOR WORST

By mandate of the delegate body of the Civil
Service Employees Assn, all six CSEA conferences
met on Monday, March 27 to prepare for the p
sibility o: job action in the event that the As:
ciation contract remained unsettled,

Although Ernest Wagner's Capital District
Conference had already scheduled its regular bi-

monthly meeting for that date, the other five
conference presidents had to call emergency
sessions for the sole purpose of discussing the
cris’

Essentially, the conferences set up their own
chains of command to keep members informed,
For example, Nicholas Puzziferri’s Southern Con-

ference established the Holiday Inn in Middle-
town as its command headquarters, with regional
field supervisor Thomas Luposello taking charge
during the crisis, George Koch's Long Island Con-
ference designated CSEA headquarters in Smith-
town as its control center, commanded by re-

Stony Brook Chapter
Breaks Off Negotiations
Over Work Conditions

STONY BROOK — After

11 months of trying, the Stony

Brook University chapter of the Civil Service Employees
Assn, has been forced to break off negotiations over local

working conditions.

‘The negotiating team cited an
“arrogant, almost insulting" eon-
duct by the administration
throughout the talks, its destric-
tion of a tentative agreement by
the hostile wording of a pro-
posed draft and refusal to accede
to demands for a “buddy system”
for the protection of employees

Varacchi Hits
Negative Attitude

STONY BROOK—In a let-
ter to Jurgen Krause, chair-
man of the Stony Brook Uni-
versity management negotia-
ting team, the Stony Brook
CSEA negotiating team said:

“It is with great dismay and
disappointment that we must
notify you that the discussions

. have now been terminated.
“We had thought, foolishly,
that some good might have oc-
curred through out mutual dis-
cussions, but the negative atti-
tude displayed during the entire
negotiations by the administra-
tion leaves us no recourse... .
‘The action taken by the man-
agement team once again dem-
onstrates the feeling and the at-
titude that the management has
for the workers. . . . Months of
negotiations and countless hours
were totally wasted... ,

“Our letter may seem quite
dismal, but a ray of hope might
be in view, The volumes of papers
that we have accumulated may
be salvaged and stuffed into the
recycling process, But, knowing
your reactions to our suggestions,
I am sure that you would not
agree with us. So, please use
your discretion and stuff them
wherever you see fit."

‘The letter was signed by Albert
J, Varaccht, president of the
chapter, Gerald Lenox, John
White and Alfred Castaldl.

and for a voice in campus com-
mittees which bear on employ-
ment conditions,

‘The local negotiating team had
been meeting with management
since May 1971 to try to improve
working conditions and commu-
nication with the administration.
‘The negotiating team consists of:
Varacchi, Elizabeth Greenfield of
administration, Gerald Lenox of
operational, John White of insti-
tutfonal and Alfred Castaldi of
PS&T, assisted by field represen-
tative Nicholas Pollicino,

Negative Attitude

The essentially negative atti-
tude of management became
more pronounced with each
meeting, Varacchi sald, but the
team felt that the problems were
of such import that the talks
had to be continued.

On Oct. 12 a tentative agree-
ment was reached, but on Dec,
13 the administration presented
a document supposedly represen-
ting the language of the agree-
ment that caused one of the
team to comment, “It looks like
& peace treaty between two hos-
tile nations.”

The local negotlating team
immediately objected that the
spirit and language of the docu-
ment was not what had been
agreed to by the team,

‘The team spent two additional
months discussing 12 items in
the agreement, which the admin-
istration had modified.

‘The dispute bolled down to two
questions:

© Institute a “buddy system.”

© CSEA representation on
committees pertaining to labor,

The administration insisted
these items were solely manage-
ment prerogatives and instead
that they be deleted.

The team said it was not im-
proper to ask that two employees
be assigned to one building, par-
ticularly after hours when the
campus is deserted, or to antici-
Pate a voice on campus commit-
tees which bear directly on em-
ployees,
