knowledge and experience gained
through years of patient nego-
ttations, are all wiped out when
there is a change to another
bargaining agency. The new
union has to start from scratch
and the publMe employees they
represent are the losers because
the switch creates ‘a whole new

ployees and the governmental

yet “Here we are at the Concord
getting ready to weloome a big
statewide delegates meeting. We
are far from being down for the
count and instead we are just
growing stronger and stronger.”

Manny Vitale, collective bar-
gaining specialist for. local gov-
ernment, pointed out that one of
the criticism’s of CSEA is that
“it ts slow.” He said: “CSEA is
& thoroughly democratic union
and democracy is slow. The price
you pay for going fast is dic-
tatorship.””

Mr, Vitale, who once served
as a staffer for the, AFL-CIO,
told the Sullivan County mem-
bers that the progress made by
CSEA in organizing public em-
Ployees since the passage of the
Taylor Law in 1967 is a “remark~-
able accomplishment.”

“There is no more effective
labor force these days than
CSEA,” Mr. Vitale said.

He pointed out that he had
often asked Arthur Bolten, one
of the county CSEA officers who
defected to another union, how
things were in the Sullivan
County chapter and the answer
was “just fine,”

“Things weren't just fine

Wilson Proposals
Touch Pensions,

OFFERS OLIVE BRANCH
ON CAREER LADDERS

By MARVIN BAXLEY

KIAMESHA LAKE— Gov.
Malcolm Wilson, appearing
for the first time in his posi-
tion as the state's chief ex-
ecutive before the statewide
convention here of the Civil Ser-
vice Employees Assn., outlined
portions of his program for pub-
lic employees,

Pointing out that in 1938,
when he first entered public life,
full-time Mental Hygiene e¢m-
ployees were paid $75 a month—
$900 a year, the Governor then
noted that CSEA efforts through
the years were responsible, in
very large part, for bringing jus-
tice to these people.

He then proceeded to outline
several issues of importance to
public employees, with pensions,
retirement, death benefits and
career ladders as items of prime
interest. Briefly, these proposals
are

* Temporary pension benefits
should be extended to June 30,
1976, to coincide with the mora-
torlum on pension negotiations
imposed to the same date, Cur-
rently the temporary benefits
are due to expire on June 30
of this year.

* Those people who did not file
for retirement prior to the re-

S
DACC Is Challenged
On School Calendars

ALBANY — The unilateral establishment of school cal-
endars at Ridge Hill, Arthurkill and Otisville rehabilitation
centers by the Drug Abuse Control Commission, after an
arbitrator’s decision that these school calendars were mat~

ters for discussion between the
DACC and the Civil Service Em-
Ployees Assn, has resulted in
CSEA’s lodging ® protest with
DACC and petitioning the arbi-
trator to re-enter the case,

On Jan, 21, as a result of
three grievances filed by various
groups of teachers employed by
the DACC at Ridge Hill, Arthur-
kill and Otisville, CSEA secured
an arbitrator's stipulation that
the DACC and CSEA would dis-
cuss duration of the 1073-74,
74-15 and 15-76 school calendars.

Contained in the stipulation
was the provision that if the dis-
cussions were no’ fruitful, they
would again be referred to arbi-
trator Maurice D, Benewitz for
appropriate action.

ALBANY — The Civil Service

islative and Political Action
Committee will meet for the first
time with the six Regional CSEA
Legislative and Political Action
Committee chairmen on April
11, at 1 pm. at CSEA Head-
quarters here, to discuss mutual
problems and arrange for the
cooperative development of pro-
grams on both the Statewide and
Regional basis.

‘The special meeting was ar-
ranged as the result of discus-
sions at the Statewide commit-
tee’s meeting held during the re-
cent special CSEA delegates
meeting held at the Concord
Hotel, Kiamesha Lake.

with the department on three
separate occasions and proposed
® 181-day schoo] calendar, The
DACC’s alleged refusal to rec-
ognize the legitimate interests of
the teachers’ committee prompt-
ed the committee.

In complete defiance of the
arbitrator's stipulation, a mem-
orandum was issued by DACC
on March 7 to all facility direc-
tors stating what the school cal-
endar would be for the three
years in question and inferring
that CSEA was a party to this
action,

Thomas J. Linden, CSEA col-
lective negotiating specialist as-
signed to the committee, stated
that “upon receiving this memo,
an immediate protest was lodged
with the DACC, highlighting the
fact that this was but another
in a long series of unilateral
and arbitrary determinations
made with regard to educational
staff concerns.”

Mr. Linden sald, “Stephen
Daley (director of personnel for
DACC) and John Randall (direc-
tor of labor relations for DACC)
have, by their actions, united
all of the institution educators
in the DACC. CSEA doer not in-
tend to sit idly by while DACC
runs roughshod over our teach-
ers, our contracts and Mr, Bene-
witz's stipulations.

“We are petitioning Mr, Bene-
witz again so that he will be call-
ed back to arbitrate or mediate
the dispute as provided for in
the agreement signed by the state
and CSEA. Hopefully this action
will get us back to the negotiating
table.”

Fair Exchange

'O weeks ago, delegations of employees from all over

the state descended on the state Capital to demon-
strate for employee career ladders. Chanting “We want Wil-
son," the demonstrators marched around Capital Park and
broke up in small groups to lobby with their home-town
legislators. A representative delegation met with Melvin
Osterman, director of the Office of Employee Relations.

It was a coldly miserable day, and the demonstrators
accomplished some of their goals, such as gaining publicity
for their cause, showing the strength of their numbers and
meeting directly with their legislators—no mean feat for
many of these people, who, through the years, have come
to believe that government is only for the privileged few.
Tt was a gratifying experience, still the chant for Wilson
went unanswered—although not unheard.

Last week, at the statewide convention of the Civil
Service Employees Assn., the Governor took his courage
in hand to face what was potentially a hostile audience.

Fortunately, the Governor also took a list of proposals
of importance to public employees, and they responded
favorably. He touched on projected recommendations on
pensions, retirement and death benefits.

Then he held out an olive branch on career ladders,
by offering to extend the letter of agreement by the State

and CSEA to investigate possible implementation of career
ladders,

Reaction by the delegates was appreciative, although
guarded, and many groups later caucused to assess their
reactions, Representatives of the state and CSEA were ex-
pected to meet before expiration of the agreement at mid-
night of March 30,

Since results of that meeting were not known at Leader
presstime, it would not be appropriate to comment at this
time, But we do applaud the willingness of state employees
to turn out on their own time to make their feelings known
to the Capital hierarchy, and we applaud Governor Wilson's
efforts to reach some accommodation with these employees.

Public employees want to like the Governor. With his
record of public service, they are hopeful that he will be
favorable to their cause. Perhaps that very eagerness to
think of him as their Governor, as many civil servants
thought of Nelson Rockefeller before him, will be his great-
est hazard come election time.

It’s human nature to be grateful for favors from some-
one when it ls not expected. But people's feelings are easily
hurt when they are rejected by someone they like, and one
offense can be fatal for a politician.

‘The Governor's meeting with CSEA Delegates was an

interesting example of political astuteness, We'll be waiting
to hear how CSEA leaders will react,

up arms in the fight against po-
litical corruption, venality and
graft have frequently been cata-
pulted into high political office.
Most notable among these was
the late Gov. Thomas E. Dewey.
Curiously enough Dewey, a Re-
publican, was appointed a spe-
clal prosecutor by Democratic
Gov. Herbert H, Lehman to
clean up Democratic corruption
in New York County, In 1940,
Dewey almost defeated Lehman
in the race for Governor, He
finally became Governor and lost
the Presidency by a hair's
breadth,
Successful Prosecutors

Others who achieved notable
success a8 prosecutors were
Senator Estes Kefauver, who was
@ candidate for President of the
‘United States, the late Senator
Robert FP. Kennedy, Robert
Morgenthau, who was a candi-
date for Governor of our state,
and Justice Burton Roberts dur-

og the years that he served as
Distriet Attorney of Manhattan.

Tt was Dewey's work as a
prosecutor that led to the desig-
nation of Prank Hogan as a
nonpartisan District Attorney to
succeed Dewey when he was
elected Governor, Hogan's long
tenure as District Attorney and
his successful crusade against
corruption and crime are now
legendary.

In another fight against cor-
ruption Gov, Nelson A, Rockefel-
ler, predating Watergate charges
of corruption, appointed Maurice
H. Nadjari as a Special Prosecu-
tor to eliminate corruption in
the Administration of Justice
System and designated Supreme
Court Justice John M, Murtagh
over all matters relating to Nad-
Jari’s investigations.

Across the river in New Jersey,
another prosecutor whose name
has been flashing across televi-
sion screens and in newspaper
headlines is former U, 8. Attor-
ney Herbert J. Stern of Newark,
whose dedicated drive against
crooked politicians and grafting
businessmen has elevated him to
the Federal bench as a District
Court Judge. As a prosecutor,
Stern chalked up an impressive
record cleaning up a cesspool of
corruption, which makes it al-
most appear as if virtually every
elected official in the State of
New Jersey was on the take.

He uprooted two Secretaries of
State, two State Treasurers,
eight City Mayors, a Congress-
man, and some 70 other public
Officials and political bosses. The

A Case of Municipal Bickering

A DISPUTE arose recently in the City of Utica between
the PBA and the City. In that case, a collective bargaining
contract had been negotiated between the PBA and the
Mayor of the City of Utica calling for certain economic
benefits, including wage increases.

The contract negotiated by the Mayor was placed before
the Common Council of the City of Utica, which is the leg-
islative body of that city, for approval. The term of the
agreement was Jan. 1, 1974, to Dec. 31, 1975. It was reduced
to writing and signed by the Mayor. The Common Council
voted down the contract by a 5 to 4 vote.

Shortly thereafter, the corporation counsel for the City
of Utica presented the salaries contained in the new contract
to the Board of Estimate and Apportionment for approval.
By a 4 to 1 vote the Board of Estimate approved the new
salaries subject to the ruling of the court, because a question
arose as to whether or not the Board had authority to vote
on the salaries of City employees even though the Common
Council had not passed the contract.

IN THIS LAWSUIT brought to determine this particular
issue, the PBA contended that the Board of Estimate and
Apportionment has the exclusive right to set salaries of of-
ficers and employees of the City pursuant to Section 74 of
the Second Class Cities Law. In fact, Section 74 does make
such provision. However, there is another statute to be con-
sidered and that is Section 204 of the Civil Service Law,
which provides as follows:

“Any written agreement between &@ public employer
and an employee organization determining the
terms and conditions of employment of public em-
ployees shall contain the following notice in type
not smaller than the largest type used elsewhere in
such agreement: “It is agreed by and between the
parties that any provision of this agreement re-
quiring legislative action to permit its implemen-
tation by amendment of law or by providing the ad-
ditional funds therefor, shall not become effective
until the appropriate legislative body has given
approval.'"”

In the court’s opinion, the Board of Estimate and Ap-
portionment is not a legislative body but is a panel com-
posed of the Mayor, the Comptroller, the Corporation Coun-
sel, the President of the Common Council, and the City
Engineer, all as set forth in Section 71 of the Second Class
Cities Law.

It was pointed out in this case that all prior contracts
between the PBA and the City, starting In 1969, were sub-
mitted to the legislative body of the City of Utica for ap-
proval or disapproval. All of the prior decisions in this area
indicate that legislative approval is required before the
fiscal terms of a contract may be implemented. The court
held that the contract in its present form did not constitute
@ valid obligation of the City of Utica but required legislative
approval of the Common Council.

THE COURT SUGGESTED that in its opinion the parties
should return to the negotiating table, and if agreement is
not reached in the required time, they proceed further under
Section 209 of the Civil Service Law referring to impasses.

The court was also careful to point out that its decision
referred to this particular contract only and should not be
read to abridge any rights of the Board of Estimate and
Apportionment to City salaries, compensation and working
conditions for those City officers and employees not cov-
ered within the bargaining unit represented by the PBA.
The petition of the PBA, therefore, was dismissed. John E.
Creedon, PBA vy. City of Utica, 351 NYS 2d 844 (Supreme
Court, Oneida County).

Stern succeeded in shaking up

the Thirties, who ruled over the

straightforward manner to the
Jury.

Trained as @ reporter, the
Hoffman book ts a fast-moving,
tightly written account of
Stern's rooting out of political
corruption, which should en-
courage citizens of other areas
to take necessary steps to clean
up thelr own governments, What
Stern proved in New Jersey is
that an aroused public, led by a
forceful and imaginative prose-
outor, can liberate itself from
political thieves and grafters.

these clroumstances, CSEA, in its lead-
ership role, is bound to be subject to
misunderstandings, gripes and the lack
of patience from various quarters from

said that CSEA ts not perfect, but is

CSEA is ever alert in adapting and
adjusting to the demands and needs
of the times in serving its total mem-

bership on an individual basis in the
best possible measure.

‘The important matters of service to
the members and continued member-
ship growth are constantly given top
priority at all times, Since the Delegate
Convention of last September, staff
and organizational realignments have
been made wherever possible in seoord-
ance with the mandates of restructur-
ing, Additional personnel, both in the
field and at headquarters, are con-
tinuously being recruited. Regional of-
tices are being established and staffed
throughout the state. Improved business
practices and new equipment have been
and are being incorporated in the ser-
viee operations whenever and wherever
the need arises.

Because of the sudden, unforeseen
and extraordinary inflationary develop-
ments coupled with the energy crisis,

get compensatory adjustments in its
present state contract, which has yet

his intention to submit legisia-

* To bring the ruling on 90-
days’ continuous service prior to
death to be eligible for death
benefits into line with the spirit
of the law, the Governor said he
will recommend that this be
changed to 90 days of continu-
ous service any time within the
year prior to death. This would
cover people who may have gone
off payroll for one day, or who
may die soon after their retire-
ment, but before thelr pensions
have become effective.

program to be offered at the special
delegate meeting scheduled for the Con-
cord Hotel, March 25-28, 1974. Planned
activities include seminars on Parlia-
mentary procedure, a program con-
cerned with human relations, and a
pane! discussion focusing on commu-
nicating through the field representa-
titves. In addition, the Committee is
reviewing the Chapter Officers’ Man-
ual with updating and printing sched-
uled for an early date. The Commit-
tee also has requested that the Direc-
tor of Education be relieved of many
extraneous responsibilities, so that 100

of statewide officers and has only been
funetioning since Dec, 27, 1973, In the
course of that period of time I as your

GROUP LIFE

“Olatms recorded on Traveler's ree-
ords through Feb, 7, 1974, indicate a
more favorable loss ratio now than at
this same time last year when losses
exceeded 100 percent of premium, Such
fluctuations in loss ratios are common,
but some credit must be given to the
corrective action of removing the 10
Percent additional insurance as of Nov.
1, 1973,

“Premium waiver claims are continu-
ing at the high level of last year, At
this time it is not necessarily clear that
Unis trend is caused by the liberal re-
tirement benefits at age 55, as there
sre other factors involved as well, Trav-
elers is in the process of studying the
premium waiver experience over a
period of years, and will soon be in a
position to report the results of this
study, However, it can be expected that
examination of the incurred but un-
reported life claim pattern will indicate
the need for reserve adjustments as
of July, 1974, and demonstration of
the need for such action will be given
to the Insurance Committee by The
Travelers when claim figures are avail-
able for the complete policy period.

“Assuming that ineurred claims of
approximately 90,0 percent so far this
year continue for the balance of the
policy period, and a retention of 6.0
Percent there would remain a margin
of 4.0 percent of the year's premium
which would be applied to the $556,248
debit as of July 11, 1973; there will
still be an accumulative debit in excess
of $200,000 remaining as of the July
10, 1974, anndyersary.

“Travelers enrollment activities in
1973 added more volume than in any
other year during the past six years.
Approximately $27 million was added
as a result of the mall campaign and
approximately $24 million by the on-
site Solicitors, Some 7,000 individuals
were enrolled, and of these approxim-
ately 3,977 were new CSEA members.

“Toward the end of 1973, changes
were made in an effort to insure a
continuous flow of new entrants into
the Group Life Plan. The Travelers
will be continuing its on-site solicita-
ton and mall campaign and Ter Bush
& Powell will become substantially
more active in seeking to write Group
Life,

“The spring Travelers solicitation will
start about April 15 covering selected
Mental Hygiene institutions, The state-
wide mail campaign is again to be
scheduled later in the year."

SUPPLEMENTAL LIFE

“As of Deo, 31, 1973, participation in
this program has increased to almost
14,000 policies, More than $200 million
of life insurance is in force on members
of the association and their dependents.
Almost $1,750,000 has already been paid

in death benefits.

“The administrative problems which
have considerably slowed the growth of
the program are gradually being re-
solved, At this time, however, an exact
determination of who ts insured has not
been made, Thus, we are unable to

pected developments, a dividend can be

MASTERPLAN — HOMEOWNERS

— AUTO

“At the completion of the second year
of the CSEA Masterplan program,
there are over 11,500 policies in force.
This total comprises 7,468 automobile
and 4,065 homeowners policies,

“When we made the mailing to in-
sured members to explain the New
York No Fault Law, we had not had
our rates approved by the Insurance
Dept. for the supplemental coverages
which are avaliable under the plan.
While it would have been desirable, we
were required by the provisions of the
No Fault Law to distribute the infor-
mation about the law and were, there-
fore, unable to hold up the mailing
awaiting the approval of our rates, In
order that your members may know
how much these supplemental cover-
ages cost, we will place an advertise-
ment in The Leader which will show
these options, Final details on this ad
are being worked out and it will ap-
pear in The Leader very soon.

“There will be several distributions
this year both on the state and local
levels, A mailing will go out to state em-
ployees March 1, The format of this
mailing is entirely new and features
endorsement letters from several in-
sureds who have been pleased with the
program,

supplemental pensions, and in-
cluding (1) retirees who are re-
tired prior to April 1, 1970; (2)
the cost of living provision
de permanent; and (3) that
the cost of living be considered
on an escalated basis by consid-
ering the federal cost of living
index of the year prior to the
year of retirement.

Ms, Binn also told the Concord
gathering that she had been able
‘to get a word in with Governor
Wilson just before the meeting
Governor Wilson had addressed
the full body of delegates late
that morning, and had touched
on some plans to help CSEA leg-
islation, The Governor did not
discuss supplemental cost of liv-
ing increases for retirees from
before April 1, 1970

Ms. Binn approached the Gov-
ernor afterward in the hotel
lobby, and she told the group
“I said, Governor, you didn't
speak about the retirees and he
said, ‘No I didn't, but I'm well
aware of their problem,’ and he
added that, “The poeple who re-
tired before April 1, 1970, need
some help.’ "

bers to actively support this
legislation by writing to your
Jocal legislators asking for their
affirmative support of these bills.

that would allow for the pay-
ment of a supplemental retire-
ment allowance.

“It would be payable to any-
one who is age 62 and who re-
tired prior to April 1970. The in-
crease would be based on the
Federal cost of living index of
the year prior to retirement,

“This bill has the backing of
all of the Retiree chapters of
CSEA. We feel it ts imperative
that this legislation is passed
during the current session of the
