Second Legal Victory

Arbitrator Agrees With CSEA—
Says State Violated Contract
With Unilateral Parking Fees

ALBANY —

The Civil Service Employees Assn. has scored an impressive second legal

victory upholding its strong opposition during recent months to the State Administration’s
move to slap parking fees on thousands of its employees at upstate facilities,

An arbitrator's decision, announced last week, found that the State's unilaterally

imposed parking charge was in-
deed « violation of two specific
provisions of the collective bar-
@aining contracts between the
State and CSEA covering terms
and cordiitions of employment
for most Stale workers.

CSEA attorneys hailed the de-
cision as a very important one
for all public employees, partic-
ularly those in New York State
covered by the Tuylor Law, in
that “it significantly strength-
ens the employees’ right to con-
tinue enjoying established ben-
efits even though they are not
specifically mentioned in a cur-
rent contract,

CSEA legal spokesman sald,
however, axiditional study of the
decision would have to be made
to determine its full impact —
fm other words, whether it ap-
Piles back to CSEA’s first con-
tracts with the State in 1968
or affects “guaranteed benefits"
only since the new parking fees
were implemented last August.

By Mutual Agreement

‘The Arbitrator, Daniel C. Wil-
liams, a Syracuse attorney, was
called into the case by mutual
agreement of both sides to make
a binding determination, as pro-
vided in the present contracts,
after CSEA’s original contract
grievance filed last Aug, 16 had
been turned down a few weeks
later by Melvin C, Osterman,
State director of employee re-
lations.

‘Williams said the issues sub-
mitted to him for arbitration
required answers as to whether
the State's act of imposing thr
parking fee unilaterally had viol-
ated provisions of the existing
work contracts in these three

ways:

Pay Increase

From Leader Correspondent

UNION — Town of Union
employees represented by the
Town of Union unit, Civil
Service Employees Assn., will
receive a pay increase of 4.3 per-
cent for 1973,

Approval of the pay hike, a
major item in the unit's list of
priorities, was forthcoming by
the Town of Union Board on the
recommendation of Councilman
Wiliam Porster, a member of
the Town's negotiating team.

The Board's action climaxes a
lengthy series of negotiations

4 percent for the first six
months of 1972 and an additional
1.5 percent for the remaining six
months and an agreement that
the Town's salary schedules and
Job classification rosters would be
studied and revised before 1973
pay scales would be negotiated.

Under terms of the most re-
cent negotiations, per diem per-
sonnel will receive a pay hike
of 17 cents per hour and $275
across the board for full-time
salaried workers. Pringe benefit
terms will remain unchanged for
the second half of the two-year
pact.

An informal meeting to discuss
the contract will be held ‘Thurs-

Reinstate Training Courses’ — Grossfield

Hits Eliminaton
In Rochester

(From Leader Correspondent)

ROCHESTER—College-lev-
el training and vocational
courses In this area have
been eliminated from the
winter terms and Rochester area
members of the Civil Service
Employees Assn, want to know
why.

Samuel Grossfleld, president
of the CSEA’s Western Confer-
ence and of the Rochester chap-
ter, says the only explanation
he has had ts that money isn't
available.

“I'd accept that,” he says, “if
the number of courses were re-
duced equally around the state.

But why take the courses away
from us all together. We're as
important as any other area.”

Courses in supervision tech-
niques, conversational Spanish,
accounting, mechanical and
other subjects were available to
state employees in the fall terms
at SUNY Brockport and Geneseo,
he says.

“But now the closest source
of these courses {s Buffalo or
Syracuse,” he adds.

Grosifield, who has sought an-
swers from the State Training
Division as well as CSEA head-
quarters, says he's “not asking
for explanations, justifications
or excuses, I want remedies. We
want the courses reinstated even
if they have to be delayed.”

He says several hundred state

employees from the Rochester
area took the courses during the
past two years.

“The lack of courses will put
& crimp into the ambitions of
employees who don't have any
other means to take them,” he
says, “They're part of the fringe
benefits in our contract with the
State.”

Vestal School Pay Rais
OK’d, But Birdsall Calls
For Further Negotiations

(From Leader Correspondent)
VESTAL—Members of the Vestal School District untt,
Civil Service Employees Assn., have won a pay increase
following contract negotiations that unit president Earl
Birdsall has indicated will continue despite the settlement

announcement.

Terms of the agreement were
ratified by the Vestal School
Board during a November session
after some debate by the Board
members. Two of that body were
opposed to the plan, arguing
that the pay increase should have
been made retroactive to Sep-
tember when the terms of the
pay schedule were agreed to by
both parties. The majority of
the Board, however, ruled that
the retroactivity be voided.

Deadlocked Nassau Talks
Continue Under Mediator

(From Leader Correspondent)
MINEOLA — Irving Flaumenbaum, president of the Nas-

sau chapter, Civil Service Employees Assn., announced this
week that negotiations on behalf of 14,000 county employees
are continuing under the good offices of mediator Leonard

‘The agreement was hammer-
ed out after a lengthy and
oftimes heated bargaining pro-
cess that required the services
of a New York State Public Em-
ployment Relations Board fact-
finder after two months of fruit-
less talks.

Both Sides Rejected

In his report, the fact-finder
recommended a series of 14 maj-
or items, four of which, deal-
ing with retroactivity, personal
leave days, holidays and bereave-
ment and sick days, were thrown
out as wholly unacceptable to
both sides.

‘The controversy was high-
Ughted by a “legislative hearing”
of the Board, which was also
attended by some 100 unit mem=
bers from the non-teaching seo
tor. It was during this hear-
ing that Board members Arden
Wolterman and Harry R. Clark
urged the inclusion of the retro
activity term to the September
agreement perlod. Clark, how-
ever, added that he could not
approve any pay package thas
did not include provisions for
the implementation of a merit
pay plan as well.

‘The unit had sought to seoure
the same benefits for part-time
personnel as are enjoyed by full-
time employees.

The unit specifically had re-
quested that personal leave days
be allocated as such and noe
charged against sick time, paid
holidays for the hourly part-time
personnel and pay increases,

Across-The-Board Raises

The school district negotiators
argued that the district present-
ly pays hourly part-timers at a
rate higher than full-time per-
sonnel as compensation for the
absence of many of the benefits
granted the full-time salaried
workers.

Unit members were, however,
granted pay increases of $220
across the board for 12-month
personnel, $154 across the board
te 10-month employees and an
Increase of 6 cents per hour
for hourly workers,

‘The Vestal School unit was as-
sisted in its negotiations with
the district by CSEA represen-
tative James Soripa.

Group Life Insurance Benefits Continued

During the last few years, under the CSBA Group Life
Insurance Plan, the amount of insurance issued to cach mem~
ber has been increased by 10 percent without any additional
increase in premium cost to the member, This additional
benefit has now been guaranteed for another year, ending
on Nov, 1, 1973,

If the loss experience under the plan continues to be
favorable, then It is expected that this 10 percent additional
insurance protection will remain in force beyond that date,

The “Experts”

In Firemanics

Did you ever hear the story about the farmer who owned

a mule? Of all his stock, the

mule was prized the most—

always ready, always there in time of need. One day along

came Rand & Company,

a team of experts from California

who knew everything about everything.
‘They had to—they were ordained by a computer.

“Economize,
tivity with les:
“How?” asked the farmer.
“It's easy,
you are now getting in work.”
“My mule,”

” they told the farmer, “Get more produc-

said the experts. “Let's start with the best

said the farmer,

“Okay,” said the Rand people. “Each day, give the mule
one less handful of hay and by the end of the year you will
have saved a tremendous amount of hay.”

SO THE FARMER did as

he was instructed—one less

handful of hay each day, and sure enough, the mule con-
tinued to perform, giving his all.

Until one day, the farmer opened the barn door and

there was the mule,

dead on the floor.

“What a shame,” sald the experts, “Just when we had
him down to a full day’s work without eating!"

You may have heard the

story in different form but

the point ts always the same. And If you don’t believe there
are people in this city In high places who fancy this kind

of thinking, look around you—

Department,

and particularly in the Fire

More work, more deaths, more Injuries every year—the
toll gets higher, the hands get fewer. The firefighter does all

that tls humanly possible, no

longer trying to reverse the

trend but just to hold It within some sort of bounds while

giving it his all,
What Is the answer?

How do you stop or reason with so-called “experts” who
have the taxpayers’ purse strings and a questionable law on
their side. Literally hundreds of thousands of dollars have
been paid to the Rand Corporation to conduct their “studies”
while the City points with self-assurance at Chapter 19 of
the Administrative Code which gives the right to move, open
or close firehouses as they so choose.

THE LAW IS the law but we have a right to challenge
it—and we are doing this right now in Federal Court. Moving
a firehouse should be based on proven firemanics by pro-
fessional firefighters. And we have ex-chiefs of the Depart-
ment, present chiefs and future chiefs who have stated
that the city may save some money with its new Rand-
inspired experiments—but people will die, and that !s wrong
because our job is to save lives, not money.

Certainly, there ts always
in the administration of city

a need to try and economize
government but this cannot

focus always on trying to eliminate the essentials. You can-
not start by assuming that if there are less firehouses, there
will be less fires. That's not the way it works,

All you will do ts have less city to administrate—and
the way things are going, this might just turn out to be the

case,

Pension Checks Coming

Helen Hoffman, assistant of-
fice manager in the office of
the Civil Service Employees
Assn, sald she had been noti-
fled by the office of the comp-
troller that pension checks will
be delivered to the post office

for mailing on Dec. 28th at
11:00 a.m.
Ms, Hoffman said she had

implored the comptroller to mail
the monthly pension checks out
a day earllor, but was told that
this could not be done due to
the holidays and the lack of
available help,

She said she had been inform-
ed that last month a mall bag
with social security checks had

landed in Huntington Station,
Philadelphia, Pa. instead of
Huntington Station, Long Is-
land. “It may be that City pen-
sion checks were in the same
mail bag, and that may have
‘accounted for the long delay in
delivery of matl last month to
Long Island,” she said.

‘The office of the comptroller
has boen “very cooperative of
late,” she said,

CSREA members who do not
receive their checks promptly
this month are urged to wait
@ week because there may be
@ delay due to the holiday rush.
If not, call Ms. Hoffman at
212-233-7541.

More Discrimination

ISCRIMINATORY thinking against public employees

continues unabated, this time with a proposal that all
new employees hiredy by New York City be made to pay
the full City income tax if they reside outside the City.

The argument—and a feeble one it is—is that these
employees would be more involved with and more under-
standing of City problems by living in the community rather
than away. This, of course, is coercion of the most blatant
kind. In other words, either live where you work or we're
going to charge you for your job by doubling your taxes.

Why should a civil servant who wants to live in Nassau,
Rockland or any other county be penalized on this basis?
After all, the City’s bankers, involved in numerous civic af-
fairs from loans for building projects to being the holders
of City funds, do not have to pay this price nor do any

other number of people who make their living In the City.

Once again, therefore, we have an attempt to put pub-

lic employees in a separate category that puts the stamp
of second-class citizenry on them.

This proposal has absolutely no merit and should be
Junked along with other discriminatory proposals constantly
being urged upon the public employee body.

Answers

Q. My neighbor, who lost both
Jegs last year, gets monthly so-
elal security disability benefits.
‘He can't wear artificial legs, but
he would like to learn a trade
where he can work sitting down,
His friends tell him, though,
that he'll lose his social securl-
ty benefits if he gets a job. Is
this correct?

A, Not exactly, The social se-
curity law provides a trial work
period without loss of benefits
for disabled persons like your
neighbor, This is an incentive to
help them return to work. If
your neighbor does start to work
and continues to work, his ben-
efits may be continued for up
to one year, The state vocational
rehabilitation agency may help
your neighbor learn a new trade
if this is possible with his dis-
ability,

Q. My hesband and I both get
monthly social security retire-
ment checks and have Medicare
coverage. Last week, a woman
who said she was from social se-
curity stopped in to see us and
tried to talk us into taking out
an additional health insurance
policy, Does social security sell
bealth insurance to supplement
Medicare?

A. No, The Social Security
Administration does not sell
health insurance to supplement
Medicare. The woman who vis-
ited you and your husband
sounds like an impostor. Social
security representatives have
identification cards, showing
thelr pictures and other identi-
fying information, Always ask
them for identification, and, if
you are not satisfied, call any
social security office,

Q. I'm a widow getting month-
ly social security payments, I
have a chance now to do some
part-time work. Since I've never
had a social security number of
my own, should I use the num-
ber on my check?

A. No. The number on your
check 4s your late husband's so-
cial security number, You should
apply for your own social se-
curity number, To get one—just
call, write, or visit any social
security office,

to retirement benefits of New
York City employees, its regres-
sive recommendations are cer-
tein to be employed by other
business and taxpayer groups as
an opening wedge for turning
back the clock on all civil serv-
ice pension benefits.

The extent to which this
Chamber of Commerce would
undermine and destroy employee
pension rights 1s indicated by
its first recommendation. In as
blunt a way as it could possi-
bly be put, that recommendation
is “No further improvements
should be made in those pro-
visions of the present pension
system for current employees
which are protected by the Con-
stitution.”

Chamber Demands

As a corollary to that recom-
mendation, the Chamber further
demands elimination of provi-
sions in the present pension sys-
tem which are not constitution-
ally protected such as the “pen-
sion payment for increased take
home pay." The Chamber also
wants to undertake a concerted
drive to eliminate from the Con~
stitution those provisions that
grant exemption from state and
local taxes on public retirement
benefits.

‘The issue of public employee
pensions erupted in 1971, when
t > Legislature created the Per-
manent Commission on Public
Employee Pension and Retire-
ment Systems and put a freeze
on all pension legislation until
such time as the Commission
filed a report, The Commission,
which has not yet filed its re-
port, consists of Otto Kinzel of
New York, Chairman; John J.
Burns, of Sea Cliff; Carl L.
Stevenson, of Rochester; Harold
A. Conroy, of Albany, and James
FP, Murray, of Lakeview,

‘The Chamber of Commerce,
undaunted by the Constitutional
guarantee of pension rights, ad-
yocates the establishment of a
new pension program for newly
appointed civil service employees.
‘Their plan would establish a
normal retirement age at 65 and
would establish as the normal
retirement benefit 50 percent of
average final pay, including one-
“alf of primary social security
benefits. Their proposal would
totally eliminate all death bene-
fits and would limit retirement
Venefit increases to 3 percent a
year, irrespective of the amount
of change in the cost-of-living
index.

Tough Legislative Year

According to the Chamber of
Commerce, the contributions of
New York City to present re-
tirement and benefit systems
amounts to 23 percent of pay-
roll. The Chamber thinks as
maximum of 54% percent of pay-
ro’ should be allocated to pen-
sion, retirement and annuity
costs. Moreover, the Chamber
demands that the exemption of
state and local taxes on re-
tirement income should be made
not applicable to pension bene-
fits earned by the new public
employees.

The Civil Service Employees
Assn, can look forward to a tough
legislative year, fighting on the
one hand to defeat such regres-
sive proposals, while fighting
on the other to improve retire-
ment benefits,

The thinking of the Chamber
and the sense of unreality is fully
disclosed by their view that pub-
Me employee organizations have
too much power, The aslmple

to enter Into two separate contracts covering a period of
four years each for the employment of a director of educa-
tional services and a director of special services. The plain-
tiff contended that the district did not have the authority
to enter into such contracts, nor were the funds appropriated
in the district budget.

The plaintiff asserted that Section 1709(16) of the Edu-
cation Law, which provides that the Board of Education
shall employ qualified teachers and such persons as may
be necessary to supervise, organize, conduct and maintain @
athletic, playground and social center activities, must be
limited to its precise language. However, a 1972 amendment
to the Education Law, Section 3012(b), specifically permits
& board of education to hire supervisors for a period of from
one to five years.

THE BOARD OF EDUCATION made a motion for sum-
mary judgment to dismiss the complaint, which was granted
by the court. In his opinion, the Judge stated that Section
1709(16) should be read In conjunction with 1709(33), which
provides that the Board of Education shall have all the
powers reasonably necessary to exercise powers granted @
expressly or by implication and to discharge duties imposed
expressly or by implication. The courts have held that this
includes the power to hire such personnel as may be reason-
ably required to operate the school and that would include
the employment, as was done in this case, of a director of
educational services and a director of special services. The
court held that the prescribed duties for those two individuals
are consistent with the proper functioning of a school dis-
trict, and that the Board of Education has qualified discre-
tion to allocate its employees and resources in the manner it
deems most useful. ‘

‘The plaintiff, however, raised another question as to
whether certain budgetary restraints imposed by Section
1718(1) of the Education Law prohibit the district from
contracting to employ the two supervisory administrators
for a period of four years. That section provides, “No board
of education shall incur a district liability in excess of the
amount appropriated by a district meeting unless such board
is specially authorized by law to incur such Mability,”

In 1971 the probation period for teacher tenure was
Increased from three years to five years. However, provisions
for tenure of principals, supervisors and supervisory staff
were inadvertently omitted. The 1972 Legislature filled this!
gap and extended job security to these school administrators
by authorizing employment contracts up to five years. There-
fore, the execution of four-year contracts for the director
of special services and the director of educational services
after the effective date of the 1972 amendment to Section
3102 of the Education Law was perfectly legal and within
the Board's explicit statutory authority.

Sake wisi}

OBVIOUSLY, A FOUR-YEAR contract, although author-
ized by Section 3012, contemplates the payment of amounts
in excess of those appropriated at a district meeting. School
budgets are established on an annual basis, and at the be-!
ginning of a four-year contract obviously there can be no
funds appropriated for the 2d, 3d and 4th years, and, Im
fact, there ts no assurance that such amounts would ever
be appropriated, Nevertheless, the Board of Education has
the specific statutory authority to incur these liabilities
mandating payment by the school district regardless of the
budgetary action. If this were not so, no agreement could
ever be written to last beyond one fiscal year of the school
district,

It must be recognized, the court pointed out, that See-
tion 1718 was originally enacted more than 60 years ago,’
and that since then many changes have taken place in the
financing of public education, including the contributions
by the State and Federal governments, Even when on an
austerity budget, a school district must operate and may
incur Habilities for “ordinary contingent expenses.” The
school district must continue to operate, and this philosophy,
together with the austerity budget provisions, has served
in some degree to lessen local autonomy of the school dis-
trict voters over expenditures for education, In addition,
there 1s great public concern for attracting and retaining
qualified personne) for teaching, supervising and adminis-
tration. (Richter y, Board of Education, USFD No. 26, Towm
of Hempstead, 336 NYS 2d 330.)

‘The Police Department has
requested that more patrol-
man eligibles be certified by
the Department of Personnel
so that it may meet its quota
of 175 new cops to be ap-
pointed in January, The
Leader learned last week.

Seven days of medical exam-
inations and investigations, ex-
pected to be complete by Dec.
18, produced fewer passing ell-
gibles than had been originally
anticipated, Police Department
sources said. Eligibles had been
called from 10 spectal military
Usts and from the rgular lsts
of exam 7065 and 8046, both es-
tablished in 1968, Because of
failure to locate eligibles who
had changed addresses, declin-
ations of the job offer, and dis-
qualifying medical and charac-
ter investigations, fewer than
175 of the estimated 400 eligi-
bles on the 12 lists will be ap-
Pointed. All figures on how many
passed were not available at
Leader presstime,

The Department of Personnel
confirmed that i has received
& request for more patrolman
names, but it was not learned
from what list they would come.
T may be assumed, however,
that if all eligibles from the 10
special military lists and the
regular 7065 and 8046 lists have
been exhausted, the Police De-
partment will start calling eligi-
Dies from the next most recent
Uist 8108, established Sept. 26,
1969.

Sources said that, despite com-
plications resulting from the
multipe lists, a full class of 175
patrolmen would be named in
January, in line with Comission-
ec Patrick V. Murphy's blueprint

IN DEFENSE OF JOB TESTS—AND HOW PAN
AM TURNED AIRLINE HOSTESSES INTO
CABIN BOYS: Psychologist Witkin, arguing for
the use of objective tests in hiring, tells of his
experience with some
corporation clienta, not-
ing, “even when the
president’s son-in-law
wants the job, we have
the burden of testing
him and turning him

down if he's not just
right for it.”
Dr. Witkin advises

corporations now to
abandon tests—not to
fall prey to the notion
that tests are too com-
plicated under pre-
sent government re-
quirements to be used
effectively. In his view, JACK BLOOMFIELD
non-written procedures are considerably more
biased.

Stil, he warns, there are traps to watch out
for in test-giving. The traps, however, are not
found in the tests themselves.

For instance, he explains, a simple IQ test,
because it may not be job-related, can be con-
sidered biased by the courts, One doesn’t need
to take an IQ test to obtain a laborer’s job.

As for job-relatedness, {t's not simple to define.
Care must be taken to make a job description
accurate,

“Take the case of the Pan Am stewardesses,”
he relates. “The airline hired only females and
thelr policy was challenged effectively,

“The airline insisted the significant Job qualt-
fication they sought was the ability to com-
fort passengers—for which women were most
wilted, they felt.

“Well, that didn’t conyince the Supreme Court,
According to the court, the airline was in the
business of transportation, not comforting.

“Pan Am was ordered to hire male or female
@abin attendants.”

THE EDUCATION ARENA

By DR. JACK BLOOMFIELD

Dr. Witkin also tells companies not to get up-
tight about accusations that their tests are eul-
turally biased. “Sometimes,” he insists, a test must
be influenced by cultural factors. And that doesn't
make it unlawful,

“If a test can be proven to be related to job
requirements, ft ts legal, For an English teacher
or an editor, good spelling in English t a
necessity.”

Support for Dr. Witkin’s statements comes in
statistical terms from Dr. Erwin 8. Stanton, pres-
ident of E. S. Stanton Associates, another con-
sulting firm, Dr, Stanton tells this column:
“In fiscal “71, there were 24,754 bias charges
brought by the government. Only 84 related to
testing. That's .0034 percent.

“Yet, regrettably, some companies are dropping
them. That's throwing the baby out with the
bath water.

“Fortunately, we find others are asking us to
do more testing than ever, We're emphasizing for
them in-depth psychological evaluation, I can see
improved personnel practices growing everywhere,”
said Stanton,

A final point is made by Dr. Richard A.
Buchanan, assistant director of the test division
of the Psychological Corporation, He claims a key
example of test objectivity is that “we ask the
same questions of all aplicants. That in iteelf adds
an element of fairness.

“With all their weaknesses—and they do have
them—tests show a stronger lationship to job
performance than less objective measures such
as interviews.”

So at s time when civil service tests are under
criticiam from various sources, industry is ad-
vised to turn to tests. What 1s noteworthy ts that
the attacks on civil service tests emphasize that
the tests are biased, while the business world ts
told that the use of tests will prevent bias.

In any event, someone who suspects bias while
job-hunting had better apply with an employer
who uses objective tests.

At least 1t should be only ability that will
count and nothing else.

City Municipal Building Faces Renovati

By KATHARINE SEELYE

Bixty years ago the cop-
per statue of “Civic Fame”
Was perched atop the Muni-
eipal Building in lower Man-
ahattan. Twenty years later
the statue's right arm and
shield, dismembered by cor-
rosive Februarys, crashed
through the skylight of the
building into the employees’
cafeteria which was empty at
1 pm.

Remembering the event re-
cently was Donald Gormley, ex-

ecutive secretary of the City
Art Commission. “It probably
woke up some employees up
there,” said Gormley. So remote
and sleepy is the aura of this
huge rambling home of the City's

agencies that the remark was
probably far from the truth

What strikes the stranger ap-
proaching the butiding is the ex-
panse of interfor space, the high

cellings, wide open corridors, the
oveante stops in the lobby lead-
ing to the mm license

Concerned over the waste of

valuable space within the build-

ing is Milton Musicus, Municipal
Servic ator, “I came

what I didn't lke

then, I detest now,

Under Musicus, plans to ren-
evate the building have finally
materialized, although they will
not be carried out for “some
time” due to various other bud-
get allocations, bidding contracts,
and the incredible maze of bu-
Teaucratic tape the plans must
fo through. The whole renova-
tion process, which may Include
the reshuffling of agencies, might
take as long as six years.

“We're desperate here in the
warmer months," explained Mu-
sicus, “We'd like to alr condition

the whole place so we don't have
to suffer through the heat. Some
ef the luckies are getting air-
conditioning units, but the pres-
ent wiring loads can’t take more.
When {t's warm there ts a very
jow morale around here, and no
productivity.”

Musicus’ complainta give a
graphic description of the build-
ing. “W ke to get rid of

“The whole bullding shows

complete inflexibility of space,”
he continued, envying those who
work in modern, efficient offices,
His plans include ripping out the
oki partitions, “although they
will be difficult to demolish be-
cause the walls and marble are
so heavy,” and narrowing the
hallways, “If we did this,” he
speculated, “we could increase
our capacity by 50 or 60 percent."

ample:

This improvement, though no-
ticeable, has made little impres-
sion, however, on the overall

problems — non-flexibility of
space, ventilation, visibility, and
cleanliness — which Musicus

would like to overcome. To walk
into the Municipal Building, into
that musty atmosphere of old
solid wood furniture and echoing
hallways, is to walk into the
1930's.

‘The butlding’s exterior mish-
mash of architectural inspir:
tions, and the guilding of the
lobby, are deceptive. Once in the
heart of the building the only
ornamentation is the detatled
craftsmanship of every doorknob.

About a month ago, Fire-
man Peter J. Cusumano and
friends responded with Squad
Three to a tough job in
Brooklyn.

During the course of opera-
tions, a celling collapsed and
knocked Cusumano and « buddy
down a full fight of stairs. After
gathering their wits, they got
up, shook themselves off and
went back to work. When asked
how he felt, he said “O.K." and
that was that.

Next day when he came to

PETER CUSUMANO

work, he had a pretty bad limp
and his officer, Lt. Peter Cerino,
who knows how to look after his
tigers, ordered Cusumano to re-
port sick and go forthwith to
Brooklyn Hospital. At the hos-
pital, Peter Cusumano suffered
a stroke with paralysis complete
on the right side. After a few
weeks he was transferred to Rusk
Institute for rehabilitation and
while there started to show some
progress. ‘Then, like a bolt out
of the blue, he was dead. At the
time there was no evidence to
connect his death with the fire
at which he had been injured.
However the Brothers felt that
it had to be the fire injury and
said so.

John Kopp, the Brooklyn trus-
tee for the UPA, got busy and
after consulting the Brooklyn
medical officer, Dr. John Batag-

lia, who also had some private
reservations about the sudden
death, arrangements were made
for an autopsy. The funeral
would have taken place on the
llth, same day on which Lt.
Seelig was to be buried. How-
ever, John Kopp consulted with
Peter Cusumano’s family and
they agreed to extend the wake
24 hours, Finally, late on Mon-
day, Dr. Bataglia called John
Kopp with the word that the
leg injury suffered by Cusumano
at the fire had ruptured a blood

vessel which in turn formed a
clot which went to the brain,
causing the stroke and then his
death.

good trustee, pulled the whole
thing off smooth as glass and
deserves the admiration and
gratitude of every man in the
Department for having set things
aright for the late Peter J. Cu-
sumano, Squad Company 3,
PDNY. May his soul rest in eter-
nal and everlasting peace.

Lt. Willlam Seelig was the
type of fellow probably most rep-
resentative of the firefighter. He
had his 20 in, spent 10 years in
274 Engine. Stayed on the side-
lines, Ustened but didn’t say
much. However, when he did
elect to express an opinion every-
body Ustened and respected what
he had to say,

An inveterate pipe smoker, he
took special pride in his fine
Uttle family, took the premo-
tional tests as they came along
and wasn’t too unhappy when
he landed out of the money. He
hoped to stay in the job until
the kids were through college
after which there would be plen-
ty of time to think about re-
tirement,

He did a little wood butchering
here and there, was handy with
tools, but his desire to help oth-
ers led him to be one of the
motivating spirits of the Volun-
teer Ambulance Corps tn Flush-
ing near his home. In that spe-
celal activity, he took deep but
quiet pride.

Bill Seelig, like so many fire-
fighters, was never able to leave
the job in the firehouse. His
pride in the job, his interests in
things firemanic were part of
his entire makeup and without
his knowing it, the subconscious
tension which reaches out to all
who relate to firemanics ate at
him as acid eats through metal

As a blueshirt he “was the
best MPO ever,” said those who
worked with him. He knew the
location of every hydrant by
heart and even knew of one or
two which the Water Department
didn’t even know they owned.
When he made Lieutenant he
worked hard at being a good one
and because he put every ounce
of his strength into being just
that, he paid with his life. A

and is also responsible for all
the figures, panels, and medal-
Hons on the building. He died in
1952, having also sculptured the
statues of Alexander Hamilton
and DeWitt Clinton which grace
the frieze of the City Museum of
New York at 103rd St. and an
“Adoration of the Shrine of
Truth,” which is in storage in
the Metropolitan.

The scuiptor’s son, Robert,
who lives in Bedford, N. Y., says
he knows his father was glad to
get the commission, but he is
not aware of who or what tn-
spirted the statue. “I don’t think
there was any specific model
for the statue,” he said recently
in a telephone interview. “She
was probably a combination of
& lot of people — you know, an
arm here, a leg there.”

Acording to the Herald Trib-
une coverage of “Civic Fame's”

crumble tn 1935, the statue wae
originally cast in sections and
‘was reinforced with steel on the
inside. Not only had her joints
been corroded by the harsh
weather, but she was “unsteady”
on her copper base.

Her uneasiness ta felt meta-
phorically today. When an em-
ployee in the building was asked
who the statue was, he replied,
“It's not ‘Civic Fame’ or ‘Virtue’
or ‘Pride,’ It's ‘Justice is Blind.’ *
And he disappeared down am
endless corridor.

CIVIL SERVICE LEADER, Tuesday, December 19, 1972

MANY WELFARE RECIPIENTS NOW REIMBURSE FUND ,

ALBANY — Hazel Abrams, Civil Service Employees

Assn, fifth vice-president

and chairman of the CSEA

Welfare Fund, reports that “State employees are beginning
to return welfare payments when they receive word from
the State that money that was held from their checks will
be restored, since, in their case, no violation of section 210
of the Civil Service Law was found.”

Ms. Abrams stated that once the employees have been
informed of this action by the State, they have sent a check
to CSEA for the amount they originally received from the
CSEA Welfare Fund in lieu of their normal pay.

Checks totalling nearly $400 have been received so far
and more are expected in the coming weeks,

“Various chapters in the state voted to repay in full
the fines of their members and they too are receiving repay-

ment,” Ms, Abrams sald.

State Office of Employees Relations will supply CSEA
with a printout list of the employees who have received
restoration of sums in order that various CSEA chapters may

be informed of the situation.

individual CSEA members
who have made a personal

Fund.

Arbitrator Says State Violated Contract On Parking Fees

(Continued from Page 1)
proposals to charge for park-
ing,

Affirming the importance of
the benefit, Williams said it ts
“certainly more cherished than
many other conditions which are
left unspecified in union con-
tracts, and which have been con-
sidered in a multitude of ar-
bitration decisions.” Compared
to free parking, he added, “some
of the other working conditions
often lef} unspecified in union
contracts such as gas discounts,
free coffee, free working clothes,
Christmas bonuses . ., pale into
insignificance.”

On the general question of
diminishing “guaranteed bene-
fits," the arbitrator “concludes
that there is nothing special
about the nature of the type of
parking privileges herein under
consideration that distinguishes
them from other situations where
arbitrators have denied the em-
ployer’s unilateral attempt to
abolish a past practice regard-
ing a condition of employment.”

Williams also concluded that
there is no reason why similar
“decisions regarding past prac-
tices in private sector arbitra~
tions (are) inapplicable” in pub-
Me employment situations,

In The Private Sector

Pinally in upholding CSEA's
positions, Willams sald he could
“not interpret the language
of (the contracts) ...in a way
that would deny to public em-
ployees inarticulate but valid
benefits that have been recogn-
ized for many years as the prop-
er and just due of similar types

pec al
}

of employees in the private aec-
tor.”

Williams noted that “in view
of such affirmative answers” to
two of the three main questions
involved in the issue, “no an-
swer is deemed to be needed”
to the third question as to whe-
ther parking fees violate the
contracts from the standpoint
of being the same as a reduc-
tion In wages.

This latest CSEA victory is
another development in the ever-
lengthening chronology of the
“battle of the parking fee." In
addition to filing the newly set-
tled grievance, CSEA has also
placed an improper practice
charge against the State, ac-
cusing it of violating the Tay-
lor Law by its failure to nego-
tiate the paid parking.

Matter For Negotiation

In a clear-cut decision on The
basic {ssue announced on Nov,
9, & Public Employment Rela-
tions Board hearing officer up~
held CSEA’s contention and aald
that the State had indeed viol-
ated the Taylor Law in acting
unilaterally In what was prop-
erly a matter for negotiation,

Soon afterward, the State ap-
pealed the decision to the full
three-member Public Employ-
ment Relation Board. Likewise,
CSEA has since appealed the de-
cision, on the grounds that it
does not go far enough back
in time in its applicability, cov-
ering only those parking fees
imposed subsequent to Aug. 11,
1972, CSEA contends that the
ruling should apply to any park-
ing fees levied after Sept. 1,

1967, the effective date of the
‘Taylor Law, or at least back to
Sept, 1, 1969, the implementation
date of the current legal pro-
vision covering the improper
Practices. Both the State's and
CSEA’s appeals are pending.

Besides its grievance and {m-
proper practice charge, CSEA
is also seeking relief in the park-
ing matter through a law sult
in State Supreme Court,

Although an ultimate dispo-
sition of the whole controversy
still awalts many additional de-
wlopments, for thousands of
State workers tt 1s quite academ~
fe since’ the fees were drop-
ped by the State about a month
after they started in late Aug-
ust.

Militant Opposition

Militant opposition from the
CSEA-led employees themselves,
in the form of demonstrations
and individual confrontations,
induce the State to reconsider
and lift the parking charge pend-
ing resolution of the various pro-
cedings in progress.

As \t now stands, CSEA ts set
to go Into ita new contract ne-
gotiations with the State at the
end of this month. When this
happens, any new development
in the parking fee issue will in-
evitably be subject to discussion
at the ongoing bargaining ses~
sions,

In the meantime, upwards of
11,000 state workers who are
socked with the five-dollar
monthly levy for about a month
last autumn now continue to
enjoy free parking.

Election Victory Bolsters CSEA

(Continued from Page 1)
after chalking up winning scores
in both elections, feels that the
election couldn’t have come at
& more opportune time. Refer-
ring to the upcoming negotia-
tions for state workers, he said,
“the employees have given us the
ball and we're prepared to run
with it. This huge vote of con-
fidence gives us a very strong
arm at the bargaining table.”

The union carried the tnsti-
tutional unit, in what the Public
Employment Relations Board
termed an experimental election,
by significant margins in both
the on-site and mail balloting.
In the in-person voting, CSEA

Agree To Two-Year
Contract For Nassau
Sanitary District No. 1

MINEOLA — A new two-year
contract has been negotiated on
behalf of 140 employees of Sani-
tary District No. 1, it was an-
nounced by Nassau Civil Service
Employees Assn, chapter presi-
dent Irving Flaumenbaum.

Flaumenbaum noted that the
agreement establishes significant
improvements in the working
conditions and standard of liv-
ing accorded the employees and
was negotiated without the bit-
terness that marked a similar
negotiation by another labor rep-
resentative in nearby Valley
Stream recently.

The pact gives employees 514
percent pay boosts in each year
on top of longevity boosts for
five-year employees of $250 in
the first year and $300 in the
second,

Tt also provides disability in-
surance, four extra vacation days
and pay for any unused personal
leave time.

The contract was ratified by a
four-to-one margin.

Negotiations were steered by
Steve D'Agostino, unit president;
Joseph Milazzo, vice-president,
and Prank Jaquinto, CSEA rep-
resentative.

led SEIU 7,831 to 3,724. Mail
ballots tallied gave 17,039 to
CSEA and 1,710 to the chal-
Jenger.

Commenting on the Institu-
tional Unit voting procedure,
Wenzi sald that his organization
was “satisfied” with PERB's use
of the combined methods of bal-
loting, “I feel the election was
conducted fairly and the wishes
of the institution workers were
properly reflected in the voting
results.”

CSEA carried the professional
unit by a vote of 13,524 for
CSEA, while the SEIU received
only 6,212. Wenzl called these
results “particularly gratifying”
aince they confirmed the cholce
for CSEA voiced in a similar
challenge lodged in 1969.

New Horizons

Wenzl said, im conclusion,
‘Now we can continue our prog-
ress in the vital areas of re-
structuring our organization to
give even greater service to our
membership; to negotiate not
only in the areas of wages and
fringe benefits, but for an in-
creased portion of the ‘good life’
that is the due of any hard-
working American citizen.”

Ulster Balloting

‘The contract authorizes a job
Classification study. It also al-
lows the day after Thanksgiving
and Good Friday off tn addition
to other paid holidays. 'T'wo days
bereavement leave are provided
as well as meal allowances for
highway department employees.
Individual salary adjustments
where inequities exist are pro-
vided as are fair dismissal hear-
ings for members of the sheriff's
department,

This is the first time an Ul-
ster sheriff's department con
tract has been negotiated by a
CSEA unit, CSEA was certified
to represent Ulster sheriff's em-
ployees last May.

Peter Sayago, Chairman of
the Ulster County Legislature,
and Sheriff Willlam Martin of
Ulster represented the County
dn the negotiations.

Broome Unit Contract Settlement

County Personnel Man Says Legislature
Must Correct Taylor Law Inequities

(From Leader Correspondent)

JOHNSON CITY—Terms of an agreement between Broome County and the Broome
County unit, Civil Service Employees Assn., have been announced along with a call by
County personnel director Kenneth Meade for legislative action to end what he termed
“injustices” in the Taylor Law in Its present form.

Both developments came dur-
ing @ recent dinner-dance spon-
sored by the Broome County unit
and the Broome County chap-
ter. The evening also included
the joint swearing-in ceremonies
for each group's new officers at
St. John Ukrainian Hall in
Johnson City.

Broome County unit president
Jack Herrick released the terms
of the new agreement to the
news media and those affected
as part of the formal program.

According to the terms of the
new pact, CSEA-represented
county workers will enjoy a 5.5
percent across-the-board pay
hike, increased holiday and va-
cation time and severance pay
for employees who may be laid
off in the future.

In making the contract an-
nouncement Herrick said that
the additional holiday would be-
come the day before Christmas
or the day after Thank

Additional Vacation

Long-term employees will al
be rewarded with addit
cation time. For example, a coun-
ty employee with 16 y
vice will be eligible for
day paid vacation; a
county employee will draw 17
days, and 80 on. Vacation times
for employees with one year
service will remain at 10 days,

example, if a nursing home em-
ployee is required to work Christ-

scheduled off duty Christmas day
of the following year.

Other benefits include the op-
tion of converting accumulated
sick leave of up to 165 days tow-
ard retirement credit; an in-
crease in mileage rates paid em-
ployees required to usq their
automobiles on county business
from 11 to 12 cents per mile;
® continuation of the traditional
summer hours for county em-
ployees during the months of
July and August and the creation
of s 6-man labor-management
committee to be made up of three
county representatives and three
CSEA spokesmen to hear em-
ployee problems and complaints.

the drafting of a resolution to
be submitted to the County Leg-
lature urging the discontinu-
ation of the parking fees charged

Meade continued, “But, after

found as many people hero after

private sector, I found as many
people hear after the noon hour
with short lunch breaks as I
found in the private sector.” And,
he ald, “I found as many dedi-
cated people in the public sec-
tor as I ever found in the priv-
ate sector and, if the truth were
known, in all probability I found
more,”

‘Turning specifically to the
Taylor Law, Meade sald that the

Taylor Law had served, despite
its many faults, “to bring you a
notoriety and a respectability
you didn’t have before by vir~-
tue of the fact that it has brought
you publicity.”

Recalling recent personnel
trends, Meade pointed out that

ness, And with the budgets gov-
ernments are submitting in this
day and age, government can
truly be classified as a business.
These new people are not poll-
tloal apointees hired because they
knew a politician or are affiliated
with a particular political par-
ty. They are,” he emphasized,
ssionals as many of you
now are.” This he added,
‘ls something the public ts com-
Ing to recognize through the
new media and the Taylor Law
which gives you, the employee,
the right to bargain collectively.”
Right To Strike

Continuing, Meade asked,
Where are we going now with
the Taylor Law?

“There {s,"’ he sald, "Talk about
the ineffectiveness of the Tay-
lor Law because you, the em-
ployee, do not have the right
to strike, The Legislature in A)-
bany may very well give you that
right in the future, but that's
not the answer, The Legislature

must first do something about
the many inequities of the law
first. I think it's one of the
grossest injustices in the Tay-
lor Law today that there are
those who can enjoy the ben-
efits that are won through hard
bargaining at the table and who
have no allegiance to or who do
not support in any way the or-
ganization that wins those con-
cessions and rights for then at
the table.”

Meade then declared, “I hope,
and I see hopefully in the next
session of the Legislature, some
kind of legislation that will pro-
vide for an agency shop which
will at least require those who
do not desire to belong to the
Association Miself to at least pay
some kind of fee to help sup-
port the organization that rep-
resents them."
