Fast Unemployment Money For Snow-Bound
ALBANY—The Civil Service Employees Assn.,
noting that some 25,000 non-teaching school dis-
trict employees it represents have been idled
across New York State by the forced closing of
some 1,300 schools due to the natural gas short-
age crisis, reminded those employees that the
usual waiting period for unemployment benefits
has been waived and that they should imme-
diately apply for unemployment benefits at their
local NYS unemployment office,
The CSEA’s statewide non-teaching school dis-
trict employees committee reported that school
district employees idled because of the school
closings, and other local governmental employees
idled because of severe winter weather conditions
in some parts of the state, might be eligible for
immediate unemployment benefits. They should
contact the CSEA's Office of Local Government
at statewide headquarters in Albany with any
questions. The number is (518) 434-0191.
The CSEA said that efforts to contact directly
the local officials at each affected school dis-
trict have been hampered by the large number of
districts involved. Many of its officials in the
areas heavily hit by severe winter storms are vol-
unteering their services to storm-related assist-
REVIEW LEGISLATIVE PROGRAM
Keeping track of action in the state Capitol, the Civil Service Em-
ployees Assn.'s director of legislation and political action, Bernard
Ryan, checks out latest legislative update for distribution to union
policymakers. CSEA staff secretary Janice Daniels is shown as she
prepares the supplement. Key union people throughout the state have
already received an initial report in a three-ring binder to hold the
updates, Included in the first report were data on recent elections,
lists of members of the standing legislative committees, legislators’
phone numbers and addresses, It’s all part of a union program
to keep members more aware of what's happening so they can better
communicate their needs to the state’s lawmakers.
The fact-finding hearings were
to be conducted in the Regents
Room of the State Education De-
partment building in Albany be-
fore a fact-finding panel headed
by noted labor mediator Theo-
dore W. Kheel, of New York City.
Other members of the panel in-
clude Join Sands, professor of
law at Albany Law School, and
Robert Babin, professor of law at
Syracuse University College of
Law.
The dispute, over a contract
reopener to become effective
April 1, 1977, went to impasse in
December and subsequent me-
diation efforts by the State Pub-
lic Employment Relations Board
failed to resolve the issue
As the dispute entered fact-
finding, the CSEA was demand-
ing a salary increase of 12 per-
cent with & minimum of $1,200,
and the State was offering a $350
increase effective April 1 and a
5 percent increase effective Jan.

ALBANY—Fact-finding hearings into the contract dispute between the Civil Service
Employees Assn. and the State of New York, affecting 145,000 state workers in four major
bargaining units, were scheduled to begin on Monday, Feb. 7, and continue on Tuesday.
Additional dates, if required, were to be scheduled.
CSEA Statewide Election

ALBANY—All eligible persons interested in becoming a
candidate for the upcoming Civil Service Employees Assn. state-
wide and departmental representative elections must return
their nominating forms by Feb. 20, according to Daniel F.
Donohue of Patchogue, L.I., chairman of the CSEA 1977 state-
wide nominating committee,
Nominating forms may be obtained from all CSEA chapter
presidents, and must be returned by Feb. 20 to Daniel F, Dono-

Conspiracy In Negotiations
NEW CITY—The Service Employees International Union showed up at a hearing in
New York City last week on a matter involving the Civil Service Employees Assn. and the
County of Rockland,
“We can only assume that the county is working hand in hand with SEIU to post-
pone our negotiations,” said
CSEA field representative Tho-
mas A, Brann. “The hearing was
to be on our charge of improper
Practice against the county for
their failure to negotiate. Ac-
cording to the Public Employ-
ment Relations Board, the CSEA
and the county were the only
two parties involved. Yet some-
how this outside union, which
hus a history of trying to disrupt
our negotiations, learns about the
hearing and shows up at it. You
can draw your own conclusions
‘about who ‘invited’ them, but
in my opinion the finger points
to the county.”

the 1,750 employees of the
County of Rockland, asked on (Continued on Page 3)

comparisons of county employee

were lagging in salary and bene-

report agrees with this position
and he makes recommendations
to correct all areas of deficiency.
Harmon Swits, the CSEA col-
lective bargaining specialist,
commented on the report. “Be-
fore the County Executive twists
the facts to his advantage, I re-
mind you that if a blue-collar
employee was earning the $13,-

Near Agreement To Fill
15 Jobs At
Center Indu
Psychiatric
strial Shops
ALBANY—At Leader presstime, an agreement was being
worked out between the State and the Civil Service Em-
ployees Assn. to create 15 new positions in the industrial
shops of state psychiatric centers.
The agreement is the result
of a contract grievance the CSEA
filed last spring on behalf of
industrial shop workers, whose
jobs were being eliminated by
the chosing of the industrial
shops and the contracting-out of
their work to private-industry
employees.
‘The CSEA, representing more
than 55,000 employees of Mental
Hygiene facilities in the state,
called the move a violation of
contract provisions barring such
contracting-out. The case was
scheduled to go to arbitration
Jan, 14, but the state's Office of
Employee Relations offered to
settle the matter with the CSEA
without arbitration, by the crea-
tion of the 15 new positions,
The new items will fall into
the job titles of maintenance
assistant (Grade 8); and super-
vising garment worker (Grade
7). The items will be filled by
employees who were hid off:
when the state began closing the
shops.
“We are glad the 15 new items
have been created through the
union's endeavor," sald William
McGowan, CSEA executive vice-
president and the chairman of
its Mental Hygiene chapter pres-
idents council. “It shows the
state that we are willing and
able tc stand up for our rights.
I hope this will make the CSEA
members even more vigilant in
our fight against contract viola-
tions on the part of the state.”
You may not be dying to
give blood, but some day you
may be dying fo get it.

OPINIONS
Murray Kalb, principal accountant: “There is no
Justification for increases in
salary for one segment of state
employees without similar con-
sideration for the rest of the
state employees. The executive
and legislative departments of
New York State have had three
years in which to come up with
® fair and equitable resolution
to the question of salary ad-
justments. The morale of state
employees is fast reaching the
point where it will be difficult for them to be
effective in their work. Certainly, the state has an
obligation to reach a satisfactory settlement on
wage demands and an agreement on other legiti-
mate contract considerations.”
William Duffy, welder, operations:
“I feel that
we are coming to the end
of the great society with many
classes, whereby a person could
work to his own ability to bet-
ter himself and support his
family in a decent manner.
Now it seems that the State As-
sembly wants a two-class sys-
tem, the very rich and the
very poor. The middle class,
a very stable class totally sup-
porting the unemployed, and
the upper crust who cherish their tax loopholes.
The government should put the money back into
the hands of the people who will circulate it,
not into the hands of those who bank it away.”
Paunella Dalton, supervisor:
“I resent the State
Assembly for voting raises for
their aides. I truly feel that
most of us here are underpaid
for the type of work we do. I
also know many people who
are dedicated to their jobs.
When the government does this,
it does great harm for the
morale of the whole system.
New York State employees have
not received a raise in three
years, yet the purchasing power

“I don’t understand
when civil servants are being
denied a raise in very vocal
terms, the Assembly in the same
month grants raises to its aides.
I feel it shows total disrespect
for the rest of the civil serv-
ants. We haven't received a

have families to support like they do and we do
dously, while our workforce has
duce an excess of work. We are
working under pressure and our
attitude certainly will have to change if the
small guy, who is essential to the running of
state facilities, is completely ignored.”
Eugene Hamilton, account clerk:
“I react with
disappointment and dismay, In
the light of the present break-
down in the CSEA negotiations,
I find no justification for their
actions. Do you have to be di-
rectly working for the Assembly
to get a raise? The workload
has increased, due to retirement
and attrition. Why have we not
received some token increase?

ance on the job is required,

Walking The Plank To Work
HAT controversy over five New York City Sanitation
Department workers who reportedly refused an order
to walk a plank—pirate fashion, the workers would probably
say—ended almost as quickly last week as it started, and
that’s probably just as well.
Departmental charges against the quintet were dropped
after word about it reached several newspapers. But before
that happened, the men were forced to live for a while in
uncertainty. The dispute could have easily cost them
their jobs.
The men were ordered to clean an incinerator chamber
at the Sanitation Department's plant in Brooklyn, a simple
enough task, But when they discovered they had to walk
across a wooden plank to reach the chamber, they balked,
claiming the plank was unsafe. Apparently the sight of a
20-foot well half-filled with water beneath the plank gave
them second thoughts and some fears that one or more of
them could have fallen in and drowned.
Their bosses, however, insisted the plank was safe and
much wider than the workers claimed. They also argued
other men had crossed it before and no one fell.
Since both sides were making contrasting statements,
the true facts are unclear, But we feel the city’s director of
incinerator plants, Arthur Price, was wise to cancel the
hearing, It is untimely that he waited until after this news-
Paper and several others began looking into the matter
(causing some suspicious souls to suggest that only pressure
from the media prevented an injustice) but justice coming
late is better than no justice at all.
For this, we commend Mr. Price but with this admoni-
tion: We feel the city should take care to better safeguard
its employees, Too often, public employees are subject to
unnecessary hazards, seemingly the result of complacency
on the part of an uncaring government, Civil servants should
not have to run the risk of drowning to reach their work
stations. Let’s not have things like that happen again.

party's state chairman, the Dem-
ocrats are ready to lay the
groundwork for the statewide
elections next year.
Baranello, who was Governor
Carey’s personal choice for that
office, brings to his post creden-
tials of unusual accomplishment
as a driving and forceful political
leader. In past years, Suffolk
County had always been regard-
ed as an impregnable bastion of
Republicanism. Just four years
ago, in the presidential race be-
tween Richard Nixon and Sena-
tor George McGovern, the Re-
publicans brought in a greater
plurality for President Nixon
than that of any other county
in the nation.
Since then, the Democrats, un-
der the leadership of Baranello,
have completely reversed the po-
litical picture in the county.
While the Republicans still re-
tain a two-to-one edge in po-
litical party enrollment, the
Democrats now control the
County Legislature, hold three of
the Congressional seats, and
three of the four Assembly seats.
Only Assembly Minority Leader
Perry B. Duryea, Jr. survived the
Democratic sweep of the county,
In addition, the Democrats
have elected the county District
Attorney and five supervisors of
the county's ten towns. Moreover,
the Democratic organization is
solvent and has no problem
meeting its financial obligations.
Much of the credit for the new
vigor of the Democratic Party
in that county is due to the or-
ganizing skills and dedication of
Baranello. He has been particu-
larly successful in mobilizing and
energizing the young people in
that county. For example, Tho-
mas J, Downey, who was just
elected to his second term as a
Congressman, is only 27 years
old, and the youngest member of
the House of Representatives.
In at least one respect, Bara-
nello enters upon his new re-
sponsibilities under favorable
circumstances, The sharp ideo-
logical differences between the
Regulars and Reformers, which
had been the source of much in-
ternecine battling among Dem-
ocrats, seems to have become
blurred, The previously uncom-
promising Reformers have be-
come more regular, and the Reg-
ulars have accepted some of the
reforms demanded by the party's
more liberal bloc. One straw in
the wind Is the fact that Bara-
nello was unanimously elected by
the state committee,
On the other hand, Baranello
faces serious problems in meet-
ing his first challenge . . . mo-
bilizing the support of Democra-
tle legislators for the Governor's
proposed budget, The dimensions
of the problem were highlighted
last week at public hearings con-
ducted by Assemblyman Arthur
J. Kremer, Chairman of the As-
sembly Ways and Means Com-
mittee.
Mayor Abraham Beame of
New York City and Mayor Eras-
tus Corning of Albany appeared
before the committee to blast
the budget for its proposed re-
ductions in state ald to localities
and in state financing of the
court system. The Mayor of Buf-
falo, who was also scheduled to
appear before the committee, was
unable to make it because of the
winter crisis in that city.

RETIREMENT
NEWS & FACTS
By A. L. PETERS
Income Tax Questions Answered s
How much income tax will a retiree pay this year? If
he is 65 and earned less than $3,200, he doesn’t have to file
@ tax return. If he is 65 and his spouse is younger, he could
earn $4,350 before being required to file a return. If both
he and his wife are over 65,
he may earn $5,100 without hav-
ing to file. Of course, if any
part of his income was withheld,
he would have to file to get a
refund, Income from Social Se-
curity or Railroad Retirement
accounts is not considered part
of income.
All of this does not apply
if you are self-employed, and
your earnings were more than
$400. In that case, you must file
and pay a self-employment tax.

There are some complications
in the 1976 return which in-
cludes a general tax credit of
$35 for personal exemption per
person, or 2 percent of the first
$9,000 of taxable income, This
is a complicated formula, which
involves Social Security benefits
for some pension payments. You
will have to file Schedule R to
get this credit.
‘The procedure is explained in
publication No. 524, called “Re-
tirement Income and Retire-
ment Income Credit,” which is

writing.
If you sold your house in 1976,

‘This new provision is reason-

Flaumenbaum Blasts Merit
Reform: "Boss Tweed Days”
MELVILLE—“I can’t believe that the County Executive is going to ask, ‘who worked
hardest this month?’ He’s going to ask, ‘Who's going to elect me?’”
The statement, part of a sharply satirical attack against recent proposals to reform
the civil service Merit System, was delivered by Irving Flaumenbaum, president of the
Long Island Region I of the Civil
Service Employees Assn.
Mr. Plaumenbaum ridiculed
the idea that politically selected
officials could possibly adminis-
ter a system of promotions and
raises In the civil service fairly,
“It's just a return to the days
of Boss Tweed,” he declared.
‘The attack was delivered in a
speech before the Long Island
chapter of the American Society
for Public Administration, a pro-
fessional group of government
administrators.
The question of Merit System
revision was considered by two
other panelists, Suffolk County's
labor relations director Joseph
Pasbach, and attorney Bert Pog-
rebin, of Mineola, a specialist in
labor negotiations primarily on
behalf of management.
Mr. Flaumenbaum told the
group that vote-seeking pollti-
clans were damaging the future
of labor-management relations
in the public sector by promoting
“myths” about alleged high sal-
aries and pensions in the civil
service.
The cynicism of this approach
is poisoning the attitude of pub-
le service employees against the
elected leaders of government,
and producing an atmosphere
much more likely to promote
strikes among public employees,
Mr, Flaumenbaum said.
Negotiations are hampered by
the Taylor Law because it im-
poses sanctions against labor but

The proposal that “pay and
promotions for state workers
should be based on merit, rather
than on years of service” was
submitted to a panel of con-
sultants hired by the state to
study the civil service Merit Sys-
tem and to recommend changes
in that system.
In his rebuttal, which was
aired by the radio station on
Feb. 1, Mr. Lennon expressed the
CSEA's opposition to the idea
stating that its adoption would
mean @ return to the “spoils”
system.
“The present system ensures
that the most qualified candi-
date gets the job, and that re-
wards are given for long and
meritorious service—and not for
being the crony of the boss,”
Mr. Lennon said.

be considerable for both the state
and its local government. The
virtual closedown of industries
and stores in many communities,
with the forced layoff of many
employees, will ultimately be re-
flected in decreased tax collec-
tions at both the state and local
government levels,
In addition, snow removal costs
and potential increase in welfare
costs will add immeasurably to
local government costs at the
very moment when the Gover-
nor's budget spells out a pro-
gram of fiscal austerity, While
the Governor's budget spells out
reductions in state aid for school
districts, most if not all of the
districts are necessarily worried
@bout the impact on school bud-
gets of increased fuel costs over

Negotiations Update
AtRegionlV Meeting
By KENNETH SCHEPT
‘TROY—The Capital Region’s Jan. 17 meeting opened
with a screening of the increasingly popular “Gone With
the Wind” remake, a 20-minute documentary depicting
Donald H. Wollet, director of the Office of Employee Re-
lations, and Gov. Hugh Carey's
representative in the state’s ne-
gotiations with the Civil Service
Employees Assn., performing his
now famous “the CSEA has no
leadership" speech.
Reaction of the audience was
swift: laughter, as if Mr. Wollet’s
Temarks were not to be taken
too seriously. The group seemed
to see through the performance
and enjoy it as an evening's en-
tertainment. One CSEA member
was heard to ask if and when
this short subject film would ap-
pear on Home Box Office. Nom-
inations for placing the film into
several award categories also
came spontaneously from the
floor.
Jack Carey, director of state
affairs for the CSEA, responded
to Wollet’s charge that the dif-
ficulty in meeting with the union
was knowing who the designated
CSEA negotiator was.
“I was the one Wollet was
dealing with,” Mr. Carey said.
“I'm not sure who I was dealing
with.”
He said, “The facts are on our
side. Every effort should be made
to come to @ good settlement.”
Ernest G. Dumond, president
of the Education chapter, and a
member of the Board of Direc-
tors of the CSEA, recommended
that the group back the tele-
gram set by the union's presi-
dent, Theodore C. Wenzl, to
Governor Carey criticizing the
Wollet statements, The Region
agreed to stand solidly behind
Dr. Wenzl in this matter.
The meeting's most dramatic
moment was an angry speech by
Region IV president Joseph Mc-
Dermott, who blasted an Albany
Times Union editorial critical of
the Merit System.
“They're talking about man-
agement deciding who gets pro-
motions and who doesn't,” Mr.
McDermott shouted. “They want
to scrap a time-proven system
that supplies the state with com-
petent personnel, and replace it
with the politically squalid
spoils system.”
He urged the membership to
participate in @ letter-writing
campaign to James Tully, Com-
missioner of Taxation and Pi-
nance, who advocated the change
in the state’s promotion policy,

Flaumenbaum asserted. “You
want to have penalties, OK, fine.
Just let them apply to both
sides, so that before an employer
provokes his employees into

Mr. Flaumenbaum accused

budgets.”
Mr. Fasbach said Suffolk
County was already preparing a
proposal to do away with the

EXTENDED TO APRIL 1, 1977
Never in the history of our union has it been so
vital to stick together — grow together and share the
load to keep us strong. In these tough times, the
greater the percentage of membership of any county
unit or chapter, the greater the strength at the bar-
gaining table. The greater the percentage of state
employees belonging to CSEA, the greater the
strength of the state bargaining units.
Therefore, we are offering members in good stand-
ing a cash incentive to recruit new members. There is
no limit to the number of new members you may sign
up. And while the cash incentive is nice to receive,
the most important factor is the strength you will be
helping to build for you and your fellow worker.
ONE (Member) WILL GET
YOU FIVE ($5)
For each new member you sign up between now
and April1, 1977, CSEA will award you $5.00. After
you have signed up the new member he must be on
the payroll for four bi-weekly pay periods or the
equivalent thereof.
CHAPTER OR UNIT PRESIDENT
HAS CONVENIENT SIGN-UP
CARDS
Ready to go? See your Chapter or Unit president
for special sign-up cards which have a place to re-
cord all the necessary information. Send your cards in
as soon as you sign up a new member — and we'll
credit your account with $5.00 for each member
signed up.
We'll keep your account up to date and will return
to you, in writing, a receipt for each new member
you've signed up. In approximately 8-12 weeks you
will receive your cash payoff.
New members must work in a unit of government
represented by CSEA. So we urge you CSEA mem-
bers — go to it — start signing up non-members for
cash in your pocket and security in your future.
NON-MEMBERS SHOULD
HELP SHARE THE LOAD
If you're a non-member, we ask you to think of
this: sharing the load in these tough times is im-
portant. Legally, we represent you —at the bargain-
ing table — and even in processing grievances. And
we need your support — morally and financially —to
fight the battles ahead. Our dues are most reason-
able for the services provided...services which
benefit you in many ways.
So help us share the load by signing up with us.

Start Creedmoor Counseling Program
QUEENS VILLAGE — An
agreement has been reached
at Creedmoor Psychiatric
Center on a program to pro-
vide counseling aid to employees
with medical, social, behavioral,
financial or alcoholism problems.
‘The agreement, a result of a
five-month study conducted by
‘® committee of union and hos-
pital staff members, was signed
last week. Signing for the ad-
ministration was the Center's di-
rector, William L. Werner, and
for the union, Terry Dawson,
president of the 3,100-member
Civil Service Employees Assn.
chapter 406.
Titled “Employee Assistance
Program,” the new service is be-
ing offered to all levels of em-
ployees at the Center.
‘The study committee, which
was headed by Center chief of
service Hermine Plotnick, had
been charged with exploring
ways to help employees whose
Job performance needs improve-
ment.
Assistance will be offered to
employees at their own request
or by referral within the hos-
pital, second-largest psychiatric
center within the vast state Men-
tal Hygiene organization.
Psychologist Cyrus Fine has
been named coordinator of the
program.
Emphasis of the program, Mr.
Fine explained, is to maintain
total confidentiality and to help
employees to work at their high-
est level. It will be conducted in-
dependently of the institution's
personnel department.
‘The signators emphasized that
anyone seeking help in no way
will jeopardize their employment
records or terms of future pro-
motions.

Cite Hazardous Conditions
At Bayshore DofE Offices
BAYSHORE—Employees of the Bayshore Division of Employment said last week
that they will report to work, but will refuse to enter the Department of Labor's temporary
offices unless “dangerous and unhealthy” conditions are corrected by the building's own-
ers and assurances given by town officials that the structures are safe and sound.
The situation reached a peak
on Feb. 3, when angry employees
and Civil Service Employees

CSEA Information Station
Well-Received In Albany
ALBANY—The Civil Service Employees Assn.’s infor-
mation station will shortly be winding up its first journey
through the uptown and downtown Albany chapter locations.
The station has appeared at 20 of 25 scheduled stops and
has been well-received at all lo-
cations.
The CSEA field representa-
tives, William Lochner and Greg
Davis, have regularly manned
the station.
“People were pleasantly sur-
prised to see that the CSEA was
sincerely interested in servicing
their needs," Mr. Davis said,
“They often would stop and ask,
“What's going on?’ and when
they discovered that the CSEA
Was there to find out if they had
any problems, they were really
impressed.”
Mr. Lochner commented on
the services the booth provided.

Mall Survey:
Top 10 Stores
ALBANY—Results of a survey
to determine employee prefer-
ences of retail stores for the
Empire State Plaza have been

Capital Region IV, shows the 10

did several different things.
First, we were highly visible and
that impressed the membership.
Second, we solved hundreds of
those little problems that mem-
bers have but never seem to re-
member to bring up to their of-
ficers. We handed out insurance
information, Leader address cor-
rection cards, signed up members
and serviced established mem-
bers as they required.”
“Most significantly, CSEA
members and non-members alike
had ample opportunity to dis-
cuss issues and obtain their
union's point of view. The booth
was available for all state em-
ployees to utilize as an informa-
tional resource; and it should
cause some employees who have
been heard to say, ‘CSEA is
never around,’ to reconsider their
attitude,” Mr. Lochner said,
John Corcoran, Jr, Capital
Region CSEA field supervisor,
summarized the station concept.
“The Capital Region CSEA mem-
bers want service and informa-
tion, This mobile informational
booth reminded them that the
CSEA |s around and ready to do
the job.”

demand that the state provide
“clean and healthy work places
for employees and adequate fa-
cilities for the public.”
The focus of the protest was
the temporary certification and
entitlement office located at 19
East Main St. in Bayshore.
Among the violations cited by
Edwin Cleary, Region I field
supervisor, were: inadequate
heat; no certificate of occupancy
for the former clothing store;
only one toilet for the 40-plus
employees; no toilet facilities for
claimants; collapsing ceiling and
walls with exposed electrical
wiring; and a defective boiler
without a safety release valve.
Mr. Cleary said that the landlord
had brought in some electrical
space heaters for the employees,
but they were unable to ade-
quately heat the office.
Moreover, occupancy is limited
to 200, which means that only
160 claimants can be in the of-
fice at a time with the staff of
40 employees, Mr. Cleary ex-
plained. More than 2,000 claim-
ants used the office each day.
Mr. Cleary and CSEA Region
I president Irving Flaumenbaum
met with employees and state
Officials at Bayshore and de-
manded that a security guard be

Urge Contingency Planning
On Contract In Region IV
ALBANY—Regiona! Civil Service Employees Assn. presi-
dent Joseph McDermott has issued a letter to all state chap-
ter presidents in the CSEA Capital Region requesting them
to immediately organize a contingency committee to prepare
for whatever action is required
by the delegates at the end of
the present contract between the
CSEA and the State of New
York. Mr, McDermott explained
the reasoning behind his instruc-
tions.
“This year the CSEA must be
prepared to do what {s necessary
to secure the results our mem-
bers expect and deserve. We
must be ready to go the last mile
but also be prepared to stand
our ground. Preparations have
already been made by this re-
gion for communications, for as-
signments of staff and members.
Now we must move to the next
level, the local state chapters.
By the end of the contract pe-
riod this region must be ready
for whatever contingency de-
velops.”
Pield supervisor Jack Corcoran
explained the need for the es-
tablishment of such committees,
“Last-minute planning never
builds confidence, but knowledge
that solid planning does exist
lets the membership know that
the CSEA is ready to do what
the membership requires, Our
equipment is set, our plans have
been updated, basic implementa-
tion or participation now must
be structured on the Board level
in order to make these present
plans function properly.”

annually; first day of sick leave
to be charged to individual ac-
