State Runs Well; Workers Wilt
Services Continue Despite
Heat: At Least One Death
By KENNETH SCHEPT
MANHATTAN—At least one public employee died on the
job last week as state and county workers struggled to
maintain services to New York residents during the nine
days of sustained temperatures near and above 100 degrees.
McGowan Asks
Gov. To Cover
Blackout Day
ALBANY—The president of
the Civil Service Employees
Assn. asked Gov. Hugh L.
Carey last week not to penal-
ize those state employees affected
by the 25-hour power blackout,
in the New York City-West-
chester County area July 13-14.
Meanwhile, the union's law-firm,
Romer and Featherstonhaugh,
was preparing a class-action
erievance,
William L. McGowan, in a let-
ter hand-delivered to the Gov-
ernor last week, noted that many
employees attempted to report for
work during the blackout, but
that armed guards prevented

the workers also put up with faulty air-conditioning or none at
all. In these pictures claimants at a Manhattan unemployment in-
surance office do what they can to keep cool as a state worker,
right, also copes with the heat.
After Agency Shop Victory
Union Targets Taylor Law
ALBANY—Next year’s political action program of the Civil Service Employees Assn.
was tentatively sketched last week by Bernard Ryan, the union's director of legislation
and political action, as he reviewed the major victories of this year—including the
Agency Shop and the state employees’ pay raise bill.
“I would consider revisions of
the Taylor Law, a major goal
during the next session,” Mr.
Ryan said. Hopefully we will be
able to achieve an elimination of
the probationary period and the
penalty of charging two days pay
for each strike day.”
Mr. Ryan also anticipated leg-
islation related to Tier three of
the retirement system where
there is now some question about
who may be established as
Proper survivor and a matter to
be resolved regarding integration
‘of the syster with Social Secur-
ity.
He also looked forward to more
consideration of the entire range
of problems which are generally
referred to as civil service re-
form. A study by the State De-
partment of Labor to establish
health and safety standards for
state workers, is a matter Mr. Ry-
an also sees developing next year.
James Roemer, CSEA attor-
ney with the firm Roemer and
Featherstonhaugh, termed the
Pass Safety Code,
Unemployment Bills
ALBANY—Two bills spon-
sored by Assemblymen Sey-
mour Posner, Democrat from
the Bronx, and Norman J.
Levy, Republican from Nassau
County, and passed by both
houses of the legislature during
the session which ended earlier
this month will, if signed by the
Governor, provide financial ben-
efits to certain New York State
public employees and insure
safer worlsing conditions for all.
‘The first bill indicates that
non-teaching school district em-
ployees who do not have a clause
in their labor contract guaran-
twelng them continued employ-
ment after any recess in the
school year are now eligible for
unemployment payments during
that recess. If the bill ts signed
by Gov. Hugh Carey, it will take
effect Jan. 1, 1978.
“We feel that this bill will
encourage school districts to
think twice before laying off
any non-teaching employees, or
before contracting out their
work to private companies,” said
Bernard J, Ryan, the Civil Ser-
vice Employees Assn.'s director
of legislation and political action.
“Paying into the unemployment
fund is @ very expensive propo-

passage of the Agency Shop Leg-
islation a significant victory but,
“also just the beginning of poli-
tical clout for the CSEA.” He
attributed the victory to the un-
fon's “participation in the poll-
tical arena, participation that
was greater than in the past
and which will grow.”
Walter Trieb, 45, an industrial
general foreman at the Storm-
ville Green Haven Correctional
facility, with a history of heart
trouble, collapsed Thursday
morning at his post. Tom Roth,
Local Civil Service Employees
Assn. vice-president at Green
Haven stated that temperatures
in many parts of the prison had
reached about 110 degrees.
“No inmate areas or general
offices have air-conditioning.
That's most of the prison. The
40 foot walls block any po-
tential breeze,” Mr. Roth said.
According to Carl Golub, for-
mer Green Haven Local presi-
dent, above a certain tempera-
ture inmates are not expected to
work in the shops and may re-
turn to their cells or to a rec-
reation area. Staff, however,
must remain at their posts.
“That's just the nature of the
job," Mr. Roth said. “You get used
to it. We try to keep things
cool by joking about the heat.
There are some explosive people
incarcerated here.”
Other public workers expected
to perform, regardless of the heat,
are those who maintain the
roads. According to CSEA Re-
gion II president James Len-
non, the situation is unfair.
“There should be a cut-off tem-
perature, above which these
men don't have to work. It’s so
hot I had to stop my car be-
cause the insulation under my
hood was burning. Yet the
maintenance men were cutting
the grass along the road,” Mr.
Lennon said, in a telephone in-
terview from Middletown where
he reported the temperature was
109 degrees.
Members of the Operational
Bargaining Unit of the CSEA
have @ clause in their contract
which allows them not to do
routine outside work on days
when the temperature is below
0 degrees, There is, however, no
equivalent limit for heat.
“They're out there in all
temperatures, hot or cold,” Mr.
Lennon said. “Even if it’s below
0 they're doing emergency work
and plowing. I realize that if a
road buckles it has to be repaired.
But the men shouldn't have to
cut the grass during the hot-

SHORT TAKES
BLOOD DONORS PRAISED
State Civil Service Commission president Victo: 8. Bahou has
awarded 43 blood donor awards to state agencies which met 1976
quotas and 952 certificates to state employees who donated at
least a gallon of blood last year. Mr. Bahou said state employees
exceeded previous totals every year since 1967.
FIGHT FOR SAFETY
Sen. Harrison A. Williams (D-NJ.) wants President Carter to
reject a proposal that would scrap most on-the-job safety standards.
The plan, proposed by Charles Schultz, chairman of the president's
Council of Economic Advisors; Bert Lance, director of the Office
of Management and Budget; and Stuart Eizenstat, White House
assistant for domestic affairs, would substitute more generous work-
men’s compensation benefits and levy heavier fines against firms
with high employee injury rates.
PRAISE AND CONDEMNATION
President Carter has acted to make it easier for workers to
join unions, He has proposed that congress change many labor-
management laws so workers could have, what White House assis-
tants call, “a fair chance” to decide whether or not to join a union.
The president also proposed penalties against firms that wrongfully
hamper union membership. The president's plan was praised by
AFL-CIO president George Meany and condemned by Richard Lesher,
president of the U.S. Chamber of Commerce.
JOBS VERSUS HIGHER WAGES
U.S. Sen. Sam Nunn (D-Ga.) warns federal blue collar workers
that they may soon be forced to choose between lower wages or
fewer jobs, He said the national economy is the problem. “The issue
is almost one of wage levels versus jobs," he said.

FRIDAY, JULY 29, 1977
A Bad Idea
‘The lights are back on in New York City and West-
chester. The looting has ceased, looting suspects have finally
been arraigned and released on bail, and a few of the busi-
ness people hurt by it have reopened their stores.
As New York City and Westchester try to pick up the
pieces left in the wake of the blackout and the midnight
madness that followed, we should hand out some credit
to those who worked—facing incredible odds—to keep a
semblance of order during the hours of chaos.
We feel we must also speak out against proposals of
some to pass out punishment, when no punishment is
called for.
Public workers generally were a credit to the commu-
nity during the crisis, Police and firefighters gave up time
off to report for emergency duty. Hospital workers put in
volunteer duty and hospital doctors never veered from their
medical oaths to save lives, just because there were no lights.
Emergency medical service workers were busy rescuing
people trapped in subways, burning buildings and elevators.
Police officers had their hands full because of the looting.
The Fire Department, also busy, was out in force extinguish-
ing blazes, many of them deliberately set by looters.
To his credit, Mayor Abraham D. Beame says New York
City workers who were unable to get to their jobs the day
after the blackout hit (most of the city's power was still
out then) will be paid for that day. Many city workers
remained home when they learned there were no subways
running, no elevators in operation, no street lights, and
telephone service was out, among other things.. The
Mayor, himself, asked city workers to stay home that day
because their presence at their offices or on the streets
would only add to the chaos.
We wish we could say state officials are displaying the
same wise and considerate logic. According to James B.
Northrup, deputy director of the state's Office of Employee
Relations, state workers who were unable to make it to
work that day will have time off charged against them.
Mr. Northrup adds that the contract the state signed
with the Civil Service Employees Assn. (CSEA) permits
such punishment. CSEA leaders are aghast, as they should
be, and say they will fight the decision. We wish them well,
and also pray that the same wisdom exhibited by workers
who stayed home (and out of trouble) during the bleak
hours overcomes state officials and causds them to forget
about implementing a very bad idea. (HAT)

dispute between the parties was to be finally resolved by
arbitration.
In this case, a city official received a gratuity from a

find “just cause” but determined that the sentence of

On this basis and noting that the arbitrator's

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR
Rule Of Three
Editor, the Leader:
On Page 14 of the booklet
Working Together Por New York
‘State there is the following state-
ment (based on Section 61.1 of
the Civil Service Law): “A pro-
motion is made from among the
top three on the list of eligibles
willing to accept the job. Original
appointments for open-competi-
tive eligible lists are made in
the same way, This is known as
the “rule of three” and it enables
the department head to make a
cholee.”
The “rule of three” is fine
when there is an eligible list of
many names. However, if an elig-
ible list (where the vacancy ex-

trouble of taking a Civil Service
I am sure that the law, in its
endeavor to maintain competi-
tion, did not intend to cause in-

Justice by the “rule of three,”
when only one name is on the

MOST OF THE PEOPLE IN MY
OFFICE BELONG TO CSEA...
ISN'T THAT
ENOUGH?
The Strength of CSEA is in UNITY. The Unity of al/
public employees covered in CSEA's bargaining units.
The goal of those who would destroy the rights and
benefits for which you've worked so hard is to divide
and conquer. They would like to see department
against department, office against office and unit
against unit.
While CSEA is the most powerful public employee
union in the country today, there is much more to
be done to give public employees a fair shake. And
the only way we will all succeed is with unity.
That's why it’s so important for you to make every
effort to sign up non-members in CSEA. We must
show them that their future is on the line, too, CSEA
needs their ‘ideas, their participation, and their votes.
EVERY ONE COUNTS!
During our membership drive, for each new member
you sign up in CSEA, you'll get-a $5 Cash Award.
The Cash Award rules are easy.
1. You must be a member in good standing.
2. The new member you sign up must be on the
payroll for a minimum of four (4) biweekly pay
periods or equivalent.
. New members must work in a governmental unit
represented hy CSEA.
. There is no limit to the number of new members
you can sign up. Of course, you'll get the $5
Cash Award for each one.
See your Chapter or Unit president for special sign-up
cards.
We've come a long way—but there's a long way still
to go. United as one, we'll get there!
STRENGTH IN UNITY

State Department of Labor once
had some 700 employees in its

on July 1, 1975, Gov. Carey de-
cided to let the federal govern-

Jobs. Previously, such public-em-
ployee work places were rarely if
ever inspected, as most of the
standards and laws were for the
private sector. Meanwhile, the
federal government continues to
inspect buildings where private-
sector employees work. However,
by an act of the 1975 legisla~
ture, the 40 state inspectors’ jobs
were to end by Feb. 15, 1977.
Under the new bill, the cur-
rent inspectors will be retained
by the Department of Labor to
evaluate existing problems and
develop safety standards for
buildings in which employees of
New York State and its political

had seen and removed.”
With respect to the most im-
portant SEIU objection to the
CSEA’s victory, in which over
1,300 county employees voted, Mr.
Milowe wrote in his decision:
“It should be sufficient to
merely note the uncontroverted
fact that having exercised its
right to challenge voter eligibil-
ity, having withdrawn the chal-
lenge and having signed the elec-
tion certificates with full know!l-
edge of all the circumstances,
SEIU waived any right to now
object. Having failed to preserve
its rights, indeed having delib-
erately abjured any challenge to
the ballots in question, it can-
not, after knowledge of the elec-
tion result, revive a disavowed
objection.””
‘The director continued, “I find
that CSEA has established that
it represents a majority of the
sults of the run off election
should not be set aside.”
‘The challenge to the results of
the election by the SEIU had
held up CSEA negotiations with
the county since last October.
The CSEA will now begin ne-
gotiations for a new contract,
which will be retroactive to Jan.
1, 1977.
