Ursula O’Marah, of Ogdensburg,
will finally start drawing thet pay
for injuries she received on April
17, 1967, while working as a
laundress at St. Lawrence State
Hospital,

The Civil Service Employees
Assn, has battled the State of
New York on behalf of Ms.
O'Marah down through the years,
first winning a favorable decl-
sion in State Supreme Court and,
about a year ago, winning a
Court of Appeals decision that
reversed an Appellate Division
ruling that overturned the initial
Supreme Court victory

The State had refused wo

Turn Back AFSCME Attempt
To Fragment Clinton Chapter

ALBANY—Thirty-two uniformed employees of the Clinton County Sheriff's Depart-
ment will remain a part of the Clinton County chapter, Civil Service Employees Assn., de-

, County and Municipal Employees

(AFSCME) to have CSEA decertified as the bargaining agent of the group.

In @ recent decision which
strongly supported CSEA as the
recognized negotiating agent of
the entire unit of Clinton Coun-
ty employees, including serge-
ants, deputy sheriffs and ma-
trons in the Sheriff's Depart-
ment, Paul E. Klein, director of
public employment practices and

representation for the Public
Employment Relations Board,
wrote: "The relationship between

at-issue employees in the Sher-
iff's Department does not in
and of itself require the sepa-
rute unit petitioned for by AFS-
CME.’

APSCME argued that the de-
puties it sought to represent had
‘occupational interests" differ-
ent from non-uniformed employ-
ees in the county, and separa-
ton from the chapter would
serve them more effectively.

CSEA maintained—and was
upheld by the PERB director
that the county-wide unit had
been in existence since 1967 and
a series of collective agreements
had already been negotiaied.

CSEA representatives related
the deputies’ demands in last
year's negotiations for pay raises.
@ night differential and disclp-

line and discharge protections

Mr. Kjein, in his deaision.
Wrote, “It should be noted that
these three demands were not
unique to the peace and police
personnel since money was an
obvious concer of all employers,

4 night differential was also
sought by county employees who
work in other ‘around-the-clock’
institutions, and noncompetitive
employees of the county also

were interested in discipline and
discharge protections.

As a result of these negotia-
tions last year, CSEA members
in the Clinton County chapter,
including the deputies, ratified
& contract which called for an
$800 across-the-board increase

The deputies agreed to a re-
Opener clause on discipline and
discharge protections since state-

PERB Gives OK
For A Challenge
In State PS & T

ALBANY—A final

determination has been made by

the State Public Employment Relations Board granting a
petition from a loose coalition of unioris for a representa-
tion election against the incumbent Civil Service Employees

Assn, for bargaining rights in
the 41,000-member Professional
Scientific and Technical negoti-
ating unit of state employees.

The three-member panel up-
held a recent staff determination
by PERB's director of practices
and representation, Paul E
Klein, in which, although he ad-
mitted to an inconclusive nu-
merical “showing of interest” by
the challenging Public Employees
Federation (PEF), he decided
that the spparent “substantial
showing of interest” justified
calling for an election

He took the position that fur-

ther delay in holding the elec-
tlon would not allow the union
eventually chosen adequate time
to negotiate prior to expiration
of the unk’s current contract
CSEA had appealed = Mr.
Klein's decision on the grounds

that the Taylor Law recognised
the right of a challenging union
to an election only if it produces
signed designations of 30 per-
cent of the employees in the
bargaining unit in question

Otherwise, CSEA sald in its
affidavit against the ruling
“every public employee organiza -
tion currently certified or recog-
nized may be subject to chal-
lenge upon the whim of the di-
rector (of practices and repre-
sentation.”

The official opinion of the
PERB panel, chaired by Robert
D, Helsby, was not yet available
at Leader presstime, but CSEA
sources expected it would sup-
port the contention that, as ®
practical matter, further delay in
resolving the challenge issue

CSEA To Aid Troopers
Charged In Aftica Riot

ALBANY—The Civil Service Employees Assn.’s Board of
Directors has authorized a $5,000 contribution to the New
York State Police PBA for lega! expenses incurred in de-
fending state police charged in connection with the Attica

Prison revolt in 1071

Although CSEA does not rep-
resent the uniformed members
of the state police, we are making
this contribution because we find
it incredible that the State of
New York, which ordered the
stale police into Attica to quell
the riot, has thus far appropria~
ted $750,000 for defense of con-
viets charged in connection with

that riot, but has not seen fit
to appropriate a single penny
for defending state police who
have been or may be charged or
indicted for their actions in put-
ting down the revolt at Attica,

Islip Unit Alleges Unfair Practices

ISLIP — An unfair labor
practice charge against Town
of Islip Supervisor Peter F.
Cohalan has been filed with
the Public Employment Relations
Board by the Islip Town unit,
Civil Service Employees Assn,

The reason for filing the
charge, according to Doris
Storm, president of the 250-mem-
ber unit of the Suffolk County
CSEA chapter, bolls down to
“raises for the bosses and noth-
ing for the employees."

‘The untt has a three-year con-
tract which provides for nego-
tiations on wage adjustments an-
nually. In the wage reopener last

summer, Ms, Storm said, the
town granted a one-time $300
bonus that went to only 12 em-
ployees, The unit also charges
that the town haa failed to
post notices, in line with con-
tract provisions, of unfilled job
vacancies. Returning to the bon-
us Issue, Ms. Storm said the
payments were made to Islip
employees who hold jobs above
the basic wage scale.

The town has also recently
granted wage hikes to top ad-
ministrators and elected officials
while claiming to be strapped for
operating funds,

“We could have swallowed it if
the higher-up said they only had

State, City Aid
Drive Is Urged

LEVITTOWN—John P. Kii-
bride, vice-president of New
York State Region I, Na-
tional Assn. of Holy Name
Societies, last week urged all
members of the Catholic organi-
zation and thelr families to peti-
tion President Ford and members
of Congress to provide emerg-
ency aid to the fiscally strapped
City and State of New York

Mr. Kilbride 4s also a member
of the Civil Service Employees
Assn. employed with the State
Racing and Wagering Board tn
‘West Hempstead.

“People’s lives, jobs, commerce.
Industry, financial {nstituttons,
schools, hospitals, orphanages
and homes are at stake for the
future,” Mr. Kilbride said.

Mr, Kilbride suggested that {f
Municipal Assistance Corp, bonds
were sold in smaller denomina-
tons, such as $25, $50 and $100,
they would become more attrac-
tive to persons who otherwise
could not afford the larger de-
nomination securities

Returning to his request for
persons to ask for emergency aid
for the city and state, Mr. Kil-
bride noted: “Patlure on the
part of the President to provide
these funds may result in fore-
closure of homes and business
bankruptcies and cause many big
corporations and the financial
district to move to other states,

Handwriting Analysis

Plus

CSEA Restores Position
To Ward's Island Worker

MANHATTAN — Handwriting analysis and assistance
from the Civil Service Employees Assn, were the main ele-
ments in restoring a job to a Manhattan Psychiatric Center
employee with an award of nine months back pay

The employee ts Marion Hin-
ton, a member of the Manhattan
PC CSEA chapter at the Ward's
Island facility, She received a
notice of discipline last year
and authorities at the facility
claimed Ms. Hinton did not file
a@ timely appeal on the notice.
She was terminated Oct, 17, 1974

Ms. Hinton said she received
the notice Oct, 9. 1974, and that
her appeal, mailed Oct. 17, wi
indeed timely. Ward's Island au-
thorities, however, said she had
been served personally with the
notice Sept. 28, 1974, and of-
fered a notice signed “M. Hinton”
as proof of its receipt by her.

Before an independent arbitra-
tor provided under discipline reg-
uluations, Ms. Hinton denied that
the signature was hers and de-
clared that it was a forgery.
CSEA officials proposed that the
union and the Department of
Mental Hygiene jointly retain a
handwriting expert with experi-
ence in questioned document
eases to offer an opinion on Ms.
Hinton's allegations, The De-
partment refused.

The CSEA chapter requested
assistance from the union's Al-
bany Headquarters which in turn
provided a handwriting analysis
expert. The expert concluded that
the signature on the discipline
notice was a forgery and that
Ms, Hinton did not sign it. The
Department then moved to hire
its own expert who claimed that
the signature was, in fact, Ms
Hinton’s own.

After a review of testimony.
he arbitrator ruled that the
CSEA handwriting expert pro-
duced a more carefully prepared
lestimony and analysis. The

Train for Success As

handwriting expert retained by
the Department, CSEA noted,
was also involved in the Clifford
Irving case of several years ago
in which that author produced
a bogus “biography” of million-
aire industrialist and recluse
Howard Hughes, In that case,
the CSEA pointed out, the De-
Partment’s expert declared that
some documents bearing Mr.
Hughes’ purported signature had
been signed by him. Mr. Hughes
denied this and Mr. Irving sub-
sequently admitted that the sig-
nature had been forged.

‘The arbitrator also found dis-
crepancies in the testimony of
& Ward's Island supervisor. The
supervisor claimed that when
she Wag served the notice, Ms.
Hinton affixed her signature on
the original and two copies; how-
ever, it was shown that only one
copy was signed

The arbitrator had criticism
for the lack of cooperation shown
by the Department In the case.
The Departmem, the arbitrator
said, moved “only slowly and
grudgingly in producing the nec-
essary documentation to permit
effective handwriting analysis.”

It was ruled that Ms. Hinton
did, in fact, file a timely appeal
and was unjustly terminated
The arbitrator declared that she
is to receive full back pay for
the period Oct. 17, 1974, through
July 3, 1975, and full maternity
benefits from July 3 to the pres-
ent.

Dutchess Says ‘Thanks’ For Aid,
But Additional Money Is Needed

POUGHKEEPSIE—The members of the Dutchess County chapter, Civil Service Em-
ployees Assn., have issued a “thank you" to individuals and organizations that contributed

financial aid to the chapter during its strike last July

The strike was the first successful one undertaken against a county in the state's

history.

when our rivals were claiming
that all of CSEA was an inef-
fectual paper tiger," said the

to do so.

Mr, White noted that when

She had first applied for dis~
ability retirement in October
1969. but her application was
rejected as not timely filed, lead~

on her behalf by CSEA.

First Contract For Chemung
Unit Gains 18% Wage Boost

(From Leader Correspondent)
CHEMUNG—An 18 percent increase-in wages plus

fringe benefits were agreed to recently by Civil Service Em-
ployees Assn. members and officials of the Chemung Solid

Waste District,

The settlement concludes
seven months of negotiations on
the single item of wages, It pro-
vides an across-the-board salary
increase of 27 cents per hour for
all employees other than bus
drivers, who will receive 15 cents
per hour more. All eligible em-
ployees will receive increments
where due, The pay increase is
retroactive to July 1, the date
the previous contract expired,

“These talks proved to be very
difficult and protracted, but the
wait and the effort were well
worth while,” CSEA field rep-
resentative Michael Carroll com-
mented

“Our objective to help those
employees on the lower end of
the salary schedule was attained
Basically, the general member-
ship was satisfied with the set-
tlement, particularly in light of
the budgetary and state ald
problems the district incurred,

Overall, the settlement will
cost the District approximately
‘8 percent but some employees
will receive up to 15 pereent in-
creases during the 1975-76 school
year.

Members of the CSEA nego-
tating team were Shirley Pon-

Two Candidates Endorsed
By Nassau Cnty. Chapter;
Fewest Number In Years

MINEOLA—The Nassau County chapter, Civil Service
Employees Assn., has voted to support only two candidates

for election in November.

Acting on the recommendations of the Nassau County

division political action commit-
tees, the Nassau chapter board
of directors voted to support Re-
publican Franels Purcell for pre-
siding supervisor, ‘Town of
Hempstead, and Democrat Vin-
cent Suozzi for mayor of Glen
Cove. Both candidates are in-
cumbenta,

The board's action came on
the heels of a political forum
aponsored by the political sction
committee ot which candidates
for a variety of political offices
responded to written questions
from CSBA rank-and-file mem-
bers.

“This is the first time in yeara
that our union has endorsed so
few candidates,” said Irving
Flaumenbaum, president of the
Nassau chapter and the Long
Island Region. “The reason is
that many politichns, following
New York City’s lead, now feel
that it ts chic to blame public
employees for thelr mistakes and
mismanagement, We can't stop
them from doing that but we
ean throw our support to those
candidates who have demon-
strated their concern for and
understanding of the plight of

the civil servant,”

Both Fran Purcell and Vince
Suozzi stand for sound adminis~
tration and good government
Our union members have a stake
in good government because of
enlightened self interest; it
means the security of thelr jobs,
Many of them not only will vote
but will volunteer their services
for CSEA-endorsed candidates.”

Suffolk Chapter Endorses Klein,
13 Candidates For Legislature

HAUPPAUGE—The Suffolk County chapter, Civil Service Employees Assn., represent-
ing almost 10,000 members, has endorsed Suffolk County Executive John V. N. Klein, Re-
publican-Conservative, and 13 members of the 18-man County Legislature for election

next month.

Tt was the first time the chap-
ter has made formal political
endorsements,

Chapter president James Cor-
bin said that the chapter's po-
litiea! action committee and ex-
ecutive board had adopted at
least one objective benchmark
in selecting candidates deserving
of the support of civil service
employees.

Tt was how officials responded
to the chapter's “Save the In-
firmary" campaign last spring,
after reports that the county
was considering abandonment of
the county home because of phy-
sical deficiencies in the building.

Most members of the legisla-
ture responded to the chapter's
invitation to appear at a rally
at the infirmary, and all those
who appeared committed them-
selves to maintaining the fieil-
ity, Mr. Klein, with the backing
of the Legislature, later said that
the county was planning to ex-
pand the facility, instead.

Mr, Corbin Said the response
of the elected officials was “a
classic example of cooperation
with the CSEA" and deserving of
support.

Besides backing Mr. Klein, the
chapter endorsed the following
for election to the Suffolk
County Legislature: Norton
Daniels (R-lst District); H.
Beecher Halsey (R-2nd Dis-
trict); Louls A. Fuoco (R-C-
Srd District); Floyd Dinton (D-
4th District); Mildred -  a-
berg (D-5th District); Angela
Christensen (D-6th District);
John C, Wehrenberg (R-C - 8th

Martin J. Feldman (D-15th

Famelette, Guardi Endorse
Amendment Number Six

POUGHKEEPSIE—John Famellette, chairman of the
political action committee of the Dutchess County Educa-
tlonal Employees chapter, Civil Service Employees Assn.,
has urged voters to approve the proposed Amendment Six

to the State Constitution at the
general election Nov. 4

The amendment, if approved,
will permit city school districts
to exclude from thelr constitu-
tional tax Umitations their em-
ployees’ contributions for retire-
ment and Social Security bene-
fits, It would amend Section 11
of Article VIII of the Constitu-
tion, Such exclusions have been
permitted by statute since the
1969-70 school jear but the
statutory provision for the ex-
clusion expires at the end of the
1975-76 school year.

Carlo Guardi, president of the
Bin mton City Schoo! District
unit, CSEA, also urged state vot-
ers to approve the proposed
amendment.

“The Binghamton City School
District is facing a major finan-
cial crisis of disastrous propor-
tions. On Tuesday. November 4,
1975, voters in New York State
will be asked to vote on Propo-
sition No. 6, an amendment to
the state constitution which will
allow etty school districts to con-
tinue to exclude taxable funds
for the cost of employer's con-
tributions for pension, retirement
and soctal security programs from
state imposed tax limitations,”
Mr. Guard! said.

“In the absence of a yes vote
on the proposition, the Bing-
hamton City School District
would be $2,478,956 in the red
The district would be faced with
disastrous deficits affecting both
the pupils it serves and the com-
munity as a whole.”

“Without this constitutional
amendment, school districts lo-
cated in cities will lose over $100
million in taxing authority,” Mr.
Pamelette pointed out, “Such a

reduction in local property tax
revenues will result in drastic
cuts in educational programs
and services for the children in
these school districts.

“While this constitutional
amendment affects only city
school districts, the New York
State School Boards Assn. has
urged all schoo! boards and citi-
zens of New York State to pro-
vide enthusiastic and energetic
support for the umendment,”
Mr. Famelette said.

Endorse Eight

ALBION—Eight candidates
for town supervisor in eight
Orleans County communities
have won the endorsement
of the Orleans County chapter,
Civil Service Employees Assn.

‘The eight are: Martin Basin-
ait, Town of Albion; Charles

wid Monagan, Town of Gaines:

The chapter also endorsed the
candidacy of John Capacei for

is an incumbent, which appar-
ently suggests the chapter's dis-
satisfaction with the current

Charter Revision

Editor's note; The viewpoint that appears below in the space
usually reserved for the Leader Editorial was written by Alan
Bernstein, « member of the Leader editorial staff. It was not
written at the direction of or in consultation with either the
Publisher or the editor, It is a personal opinion.

The charter revisions that New Yorkers will vote on next
week are important, though, even if they are being overlooked
by most people due to the preaecupation with the fiseal crisis.

In order to further generate interest in the charter revision,
Mr, Bernstein's viewpoint is printed here in the hope that it
will arouse either agreement, opposition or an independent de-

cision prior to the moment voters are faced with all those levers
im the voting booth,

NN Nov. 4 New Yorkers will face an extremely important
decision on whether to revise the city charter—the
way New York City government is run. During these days
of fiscal crisis and conceivable default, the first five pro-
posals being presented to the voters by the State Charter
Revision Commission for New York City offer a feasible
way of saving city money while not lowering the efficiency
of government.

The first five deal with fiscal, management, govern-
mental, planning and community services reforms—some-
thing long needed in New York City. Budget problems may
not disappear overnight with the proposals offered by the
charter, but a closer scrutiny of city spending would occur,
leaving New York less of a chance to face financial crisis
in the future,

Total management of city agencies under the new
charter would become a function of each agency rather than
many departments as it is presently, cutting down on the
wasted time and money used to accomplish day-to-day
tasks. Services offered by police, fire and sanitation would
be grouped into uniformed areas creating better efficiency
and ending overlaps, which adds unneeded problems.

While it is true that many reforms recommended by
the charter commission—such as a Deputy Mayor for Fis~
cal Affairs, adoption of a three-year capital program for
the city and a limitation on short-term borrowing tied to
clearly identifiable tax revenues—have been instituted by
Albany lawmakers in its city rescue operations, it is feared
that these steps could only be temporary. Adoption of the
charter proposals one through five would make certain the
new reforms would continue,

As for proposals six through 10, too many recommenda-
tlons that would decentralize powers and make government
less representative of the actual constituents overwhelm
any good points they have, making them impossible to
support, Adoption would only add to the confusion and woes
already plaguing the city,

We hope New Yorkers, especially civil servants, will
take time to study the proposed charter and will vote since
it affects the well-being of the city. We believe a “yes” vote
on charter proposals one through five will help start New
York on its return to the “Big Apple.”

(Continued from Page 1)
Povition in early December,

The City has apparently ex-
hausted all its sources for bor-
rowing money. Banks, private
investors and public employee
Pension funds are no longer in
8 position to provide a last-
minute bailout.

One of the last hopes is for
the Federal Government to take
action that would provide a
guarantee against default on fu-
ture bonds and notes that the
City may issue. And at the mo-
ment the prospect for such action
seems to be too slender s reed
on which to peg hopes that de-
fault will once again be averted.

Growing Concern

It 1s indeed true that there is
growing concern among many
Congressmen that a default here
will have a catastrophic impact
on the national economy, How-

Chairman Arthur Burns remain
publicly adamant against any
aid to the City. Thetr position is
making it possible for those Con-
gressmen who are opposed to
City aid to rally together in op-
position.

Moreover, action by the Sen-
ate is threatened by a filibuster
by Senator James B. Alien, of
Alabama, who has in the past
demonstrated unique powers to
organize and maintain a fili-
buster,

His opposition to adoption
of m City aid program is purely
political. “From a practical point
of view,” the Senator said the
other day, “the Administration
has already lost the future sup-
port of New York City, while
gaining tremendously throughout
the country, To reverse itself now
will not gain New York's sup-
port, would cause it great

Fire Chief’s Suspension

Pursuant to Article 78 of the Civil Practice Law and
Rules, an employee of the Village of Scotia commenced a
proceeding in the Supreme Court, Schenectady County, to
review a determination of the Village Board of Trustees
suspending him without pay for a period of two months
after a hearing pursuant to Section 75 of the Civil Service
Law. The petitioner was the Chief of the Scotia Fire De-
partment, having held that position since 1969. In addition,
he was a paid member of the Fire Department since 1950.
He obtained his position as Chief by passing an open com-
petitive civil service examination.

THIS MATTER AROSE when the Board of Fire Com-
missioners pressed 11 charges against the petitioner. After
the hearing, three of the charges were found to have been
proved and constituted misconduct, and the petitioner was
suspended without pay for 60 days. The first charge which
was sustained arose out of a discovery that the fire alarm
system was out of order on a day in July 1973 when the
petitioner was officially off duty. When notified of this
failure, the petitioner took certain steps to correct the de-
fault. However, hils efforts were not effective. As the peti-
tioner made no further efforts to secure qualified technical
assistance to restore the system at the earliest possible
moment, it became necessary for some of the Village's Fire
Commissioners to take steps to put the alarm system back
in service. At the hearing, the facts showed that the peti-
tioner took no part in helping to enlist anyone to make
repairs on the alarm system, stated that he would not do
anything more about repairing the system, and was not
going to get involved, and that he would not give the Fire
Commissioners information which he had about the alarm
system because of a grievance stemming from the denial
of a pay raise requested by the petitioner. From these facts,
the court agreed that the petitioner's lack of cooperation
and inaction amounted to misconduct.

erly gers

THE SECOND CHARGE on which the petitioner was
found guilty of misconduct involved his failure to attend
@ monthly meeting of the Fire Commissioners in November
1973. The petitioner offered no justification for his failure
to attend, contending only that he did not receive specific
notice of the meeting. The court found that this excuse
lacked merit in view of petitioner's admission that he knew
when the regular meeting was held; the meeting in question
was held on the regular date, and petitioner was even con-
tacted during the meeting and persisted in his refusal to
attend. The court also refused to give merit to petitioner's
contention that there was
of the Fire Department in
ance at such meetings. The
of petitioner's position made him
Commissioners and required his cooperation with them,
petitioner’s refusal of a reasonable request to attend a
meeting of the Commissioners constituted misconduct,

THE THIRD AND FINAL charge reviewed involved al-
leged misconduct when petitioner sent a letter for publica~
tion to the editor of a local newspaper. The letter questioned

(Continaed on Page 7)
i Civil Service Law & You l

(Continued from Page 6)

the death of a child in a fire which the petitioner claimed
might have been averted if his vehicle had been avatiable
to him rather than to a volunteer Chief on the particular
weekend in question, The court pointed out that this charge
could not be sustained for a variety of reasons, Firstly, in
the absence of clearly delineated standards setting forth
circumstances under which, for reasons of public safety,
the need for confidentiality might restrict expression, a
Village regulation prohibiting public speeches on official
business was likely unconstitutional as a prior restraint on
freedom of speech, in violation of the first amendment.

SECONDLY, ALTHOUGH it was charged that the letter
was detrimental to the Scotia Fire Department, the court
found no evidence of any such detriment, and the hearing
Officer's report merely concluded that petitioner's action
in this matter disclosed poor Judgment. Thus, the court
concluded that while reasonable people may differ as to

the appropriate means for airing such issues as raised in
petitioner's letter, petitioner's actions In this instance did
not rise to the level of misconduct. Therefore, this particu-
lar charge was dismissed, On its affirmance of misconduct
on the first two charges, however, the court affirmed a
penalty ‘of 60 days’ suspension without pay for petitioner.

Legislative and Political Action Committee Report

‘The legislative and political action com-
mittee of the Civil Service Employees
Asen, is chaired by Matrin Langer, of
Rockland Psychiatric Center, with com-
mittee members John Adamski, Ruth
Braverman, John Clark, Frank Imbhols,
Delbert Langstaff, Ralph Natale, Victor
Pesci, Vincent Rubano, John Vallee and
Angelo Vallone.

The Legislative and Political Ac-
tion Committee has undertaken the
responsibility of reporting to this
delegate body its action taken dur-
ing the previous 12-month period, This
Feport reviews the Report of the State-
wide Legislative and Political Action
Committee given at the October 1074
Delegates Meeting and the ensuing ac-
tion recommended by the Committee in
regard to political endorsements.

This report also conains the highlights
of the 1974-75 legislative session and
describes the action taken by the Po-
litical Action Committee, our CSEA
lobbyists, and staff.

SECTION 1. POLITICAL ACTION

This Committee issued a report to the
delegate body at the 64th delegate mect-
ing in October of 1974. The delegate body
approved the recommendation of the
Legislative and Political Action Commit-
tee which was as follows

The Committee finds the advantages
obtainable from organizational en-
dorsement of any specific statewide
candidate remain minimal. It recog-
nizes the generally favorable orien-
tation of all current statewide can-
didates’ platforms and expressed po-
sitions, It investigated the positions
of competing Inbor groups and found
division and fragmentation In their
position, where specific political ac-
tion has already been taken. In the
current environment, therefore, the
Committee concludes that the cur-
rent policy of nonpartisanship and
neutrality should be continued
The policy of neutrality taken by CSEA

is one which has been questioned over

the last year, However, the political ac
tion program is Com-
mittee to the delegates’
be very successful in th

Senate races, In the Se

55 candidates and r ed neutral in

the remaining five. Pifty of the Senate

candidates we endorsed won, the remain-

ing five lost. We were successful in 91

percent of the races. In the Assembly, we

endorsed 135 candidates and remained
neutral regarding the remaining 15, One
hundred and eight won, 27 lost. This
made us successful in 80 percent of the
elections, We endorsed a total of 190 out
of the 210 legislative candidates who
were up for election. We were successful
in 84 percent of all our endorsements;

158 of our candidates won their election

and 92 lost

commended by t
body proved to
Assembly and
endorsed

I would, at this point. like to make
mention of the cooperation this Commit-
tee received from the Political Action
Committees which were established in the
regions and in some of the chapters
throughout the State. se Committer
were highly successful because of the
fine organization of the leaders and the
tremendous amount of work and energy
contributed by their members, Without
the support in every community of the
State, the political strength of this union
would not have been felt.

Following the election, the Statewide
Committee was called upon to use con-
tacts developed during the election cam~-
paign to further some of the goals of
CSEA. As you will recall, we were in-
volved with a serious problem concerning
lay-offs of CSEA employees due to abol-
ishment of State and Federal programs
and of positions. At the Murch 16 rally
conducted in Albany, the Political Action
Committee contacted # considerible
number of legislators in order to make
them aware of the plight of our membars.

Both the executive and legislative
branches of government in New York

State have tiken actions which have
been detrimental to you, the members,
and to CSEA. This Committee has re-
rolved to rembin active during the term
of these elected officials and to take a
very strong stand in the re-election of
these people. We are prepared to remain
active during the ensuing months for the
purpose of evaluating the individual can-
didates coming up for election in 1976,
so @ recommendation can be made to
the membership of candidates whom we
feel can be most representative of the
needs of civil service employees.

Many questions have been forwarded
to myself, as Chairman of the Commit-
te’, to members of the Committee, and
to the CSEA staff regarding the voting
record of the Legislature on various bills
related to CSEA, The obvious reason for
these requests has been jo establish
whether or not the individual legislators
voted for or aginst our program bills.
After a careful analysis of the individual
bills, as enumerated in the second part
of this report, the Committee feels a
detailed explanation is necessary in order
to clarify the position taken by the
Committee.

We have found individual legislators
who voted against the 1975 Supplemental
Budget which provided for the $250 pay
raise; yet, had taken an active part in
establishing the $250 bonus as the sole
remuneration for State employees. In
other cases, many of the legislators voted
in favor of the Supplemental Budget be-
cause some of its other portions were a
direct benefit to CSEA members, such
as reinstating funds in order to main-
tain Jobs in certain departments. This
one piece of legislation has received the
greatest amount of publicity not only be-
cause {t contained the provision which
enacted the $250 bonus, bu: also because
iL contained the additional allowances
for 167 members of the Legislature. Of

voles

the 206 legislators who had their

recorded on the Supplemental Budget
diR, only 22 voted inst it. For these
reasons, we believe it is impossible for
tnis Committee to use this voting record
asa true barometer of a legislator's feel-
ing toward CSEA

At this point, the Committee felt we
could not simply drop this issue. In the
ensuing months, the Committee will un-
dertake a project whereby each legislator
will receive o letter with a carbon copy
so Indicated to each particular Regional
President, informing him we will be pub-
lishing ths Voting records on CSEA re-
lated bills of all legislators. This letter
will request an explanation of their rea-
sons for or against these particular bills
We believe this will afford us the op-
portunity of having each individual state
his reasons for the action he took during
the 1975 legislative session. Based on the
{ndividual responses of the legislators,

Arthur Hennessy, CSEA president at
SUNY Ag and Tech College at Farming-
dale, and Dorothy Rabin, president at
SUNY at Old Westbury, discuss mutual
problems at their nearby campuses.

Natalie Yaskow, left, chairman of statewide CSEA salary committee, is seated next to
representatives from several Parks and Recreation chapters. Left from Ms, Yaskow, of
Buffalo Psychiatric Center, are Paul O'Connell, Finger Lakes State Park Commission

delegate; Mary Converse, Southwestern

(Allegany State Park Red House) chapter

president; Eleanor Blair, Genesee State Park Commission (Letchworth State Park)

delegate, and William Blauvelt, Palisades Interstate Park Commission chapter presl-
dent.

Statewide CSEA sites committee chairman Richard Tarmey, right, of Montgomery
County, discusses spring convention, which is slated for Concord Hotel, From left are
CSEA assistant executive director - County Joseph Dolan, Hobbs Chinnis, of the
Concord, and Lincoln Lackey, of Niagara Falls,

along with the actual voting record, we
believe we will be better equipped during
the upcoming campaign to make a more
equitable judgment concerning our sup-
port of an incumbent,

As an addendum to this report, we
have attached a list of the 167 legisiators
who received allowances for additional
services, This lists the legislator's name,
the position hy held, the amount of money
he received for such position over and
above his sulary, his party affiliation, and
his residence. For your intertest, we
have enumerated legislators who received
two amounts because they held two addi-
tional positions. In addition, as the final
step in our impasse proceeding, the 12
members of the Legislative Panel are
indicated on the first page of the adden-
dum by an asterisk, It is necessary to
note that two of these 12 members is-
sued a minority report which dissented
from the report of the Committee. These
two assemblymen, Assemblymen Riford
menting the factfinders’ recommendation
and Stephens, were in favor of imple-
that a six percent across-the-board in-
crease and payment of other benefits be
instituted, and clearly stated that the
$250 bonus was not adequate. (Editor's
note: ‘This lst appeared in The Leader
issue of Sept. 30, 1975.)

During the next 12 months, this Com-
mittee will attempt to keep you aware of
similar facts concerning individual legis-
lators,

SECTION 2. LEGISLATIVE ACTION

Since the close of the 1973-74 legisla~
tive session, this Committee has received
taany suggestions for its legislative pro-
gram from the membership, In addition,
bills which had not been passed in the
previous session of the Legislature were
considered for resubmission. After con-
sidéring these factors, this Committee
put together its 1975 legislative program.
Also, various committees or groups within
CSEA were aware of and brought forth
particular legislative problems for which
legislation was added to the program.

In addition to the CSEA sponsored
bills, our lobbyists and staff reviewed all
bills which were introduced into either
house of the Legislature which could have
an effect on our membership. Memoranda

were tiled with the sponsors and legisla-
tive leaders of both houses stating either
our support or opposition to the particu-
lar bills. In cases where bills had pro-
gressed through both houses, we would
file @ memorandum with the Governor's
office. CSEA went on record either in
favor of or against over 125 bills which
were no; part of our own legislative pro-
gram, Our efforts were very successful
in this area

In addition to our legislative program,
attached as addendum No. 2, is the fol-
lowing, a capsule of some of th: major
bills which affected public employees.

Senate Bill No. 6250 (Anderson). This
bill would have amended the Taylor
Law to expand the powers of the Public
Employment Relations Board to compel
officials to negotiate in good faith, allow-
ing PERB to order the employer or em-

ployes organiza to negotiate in good
faith. The bil! passed both hou

the Legislature, but was vetoed on Augu

9 by the Governor based on tt nunds
that a recent Court of Appeals decision

limited the powers of PERB in this par-
ticular area. This bill would have o
ruled that decision by amending the Law
to allow PERB to take any action except
one which could not direct a party to
accept terms and conditions of employ-
ment which had not been agreed upon
‘The Governor felt the proposed language
was excessive

Assembly Bill No, 4078 (Field), This
amends the Retirement and Social Se-
curity Law to allow a retired person earn-
ings of $2,500 in a public service posttion
during the year without loss, suspension.
or diminution of his retirement allowance.
‘This bill was signed by the Governor

Assembly Bill No. 8667 (Introduced by
Rules Committee). Amends the Retirement
and Social Security Law to extend until
July 1, 1976 all temporary benefits and
allows the right of public employers to
bargain collectively with their employees
regarding retirement benefits, This bill
was signed by the Governor

Assembly Bill No, 8736-B (Rules Com-
mittee), This bill would remove legisia~
tive employees from the section of the
Retirement and Social Security Law
which, as part of the general pension re-
form program, was enacted in 1073, and
would allow them to receive a days re-
ttrement for each day they were on the
State payroll regardless of the time they
actually worked This bill passed both
houses, but upon our urging, was vetoed
by the Governor. He stated in his velo
message that he agreed this would
undermine both the intent of pension re-
form and the Retirement System's ef-
forts to administer that reform legisla-
tdon in equitable manner.” The bill was
vetoed on August 9.

Assembly Bill No, 6823 (Rules Com-
mittee). After much urging, this bill was
finally passed and signed into law, It
appropriated $1,673,000 for an QOccupa-

tional Safety and Health Program under
the State Labor Law which allowed for
retention of approximately 160 employees
whose jobs were in jeopardy.

The aforementioned bills, as well as
those In the CSEA legislative program,
will be analyzed by this Committee. The
voting records of the Legislature on these
particular bills will be compiled and
forwarded to each Chapter President. It
is the intention of this Committee to
regularly report our activities to the
Board of Directors, the regions, and the
chapters. It is anticipated that these re-
ports will contain such information as:
the compilation of the responses from
legislators regarding their particular vot-
ing record on the 1975 Supplemental Bud-
Rei bill, their voting records on CSEA
related bills, the 1976 legislative program
an up date of the legistative action taken
on our program, a report of activities of

regional Legislative and Political Action
Committees, as well a: Committee's
r dations regarding the endorss-
candidates for ic offi

my very strong
nix Comm: th ensu-
12 months this Committee will share
with you, our delega and our mem-
bership, the greatest responsibility that
CSEA members have ever faced. Our
task will be tedious and the road will
be cult. to travel. However, with
the cone efforts of all, I feel the
future of CSEA can be a long and bright
one, and I look forward to the chal-

lenge of 1976.

Life Insurance
You Can Af; ford

CSEA, using the vast purchasing power of its 200,000 members,
offers YOU the opportunity to purchase low-cost group life
insurance through special arrangement with The Travelers
Insurance Company, Hartford, Connecticut.

It's easy to buy—easy to pay for. The amount of insurance YOU
are eligible for and the premium you pay are determined by your
annual salary and age.

If—for example— you are under age 30 and are paid bi-weekly,
you'll pay just 10¢ per payday for each $1,000 of group life
insurance to which you are entitled in the schedule. And that
includes an equal amount of accidental death insurance.
Regardless of age, your premium can be automatically deducted
from your paycheck. Chances are, you won't even miss the
pennies it costs to get this valuable protection.

For complete information, and costs, complete and mail the
coupon below. Or call your nearest Ter Bush & Powell represen-
tative for details.

CSEA Warns Additional
South Beach Patients
May Create Difficulties

STATEN ISLAND—The recent absorption of patients by
the South Beach Psychiatric Center here from Brooklyn's
Coney Island and Sheepshead Bay areas without provision
for adequate personnel to handle the increase has drawn

Nassau DPW Unit
Has Its First Fete

MINEOLA — The 1,500-
member Department of Pub-
Ne Works unit of the Nassau
chapter, Civil Service Em-
ployees Assn., will hold a dinner-
dance Nov. 21

‘The social event, a first for
the unit, was announced by Car-
mine Santoll, newly installed

‘criticism from the South Beach
PC chapter, Civil Service Em-
ployees Assn.

Tom Bucaro, president of the
chapter, said that in addition
to creating an excessive work
load on present personnel, the
Influx of patients could neces-
sitate a sizeable transfer of staff
to new units at the center.

Mr. Bucaro stated “This rep-
resents a change in working con-
ditions and I have requested a
consultation with management
before implementation of any
transfers,”

The South Beach Center was
ordered by the State Mental Hy-
#iene Department to take on the
additional areas because of the
toss of accreditation by Pilgrim
Psychiatric Center, Brentwood.

“We have had no opportunity
to participate in any discussions
concerning this crisis,” said Al-
vin M. Mesnikoff, the center's
director. Calling the depart-
ment’s action “a precipitous de-
¢lsion,” Dr, Mesnikoff said that
South Beach was directed to as-
sume the responsibility without
additional staff or funds.

Dr. Mesnikoff had praise for
his staff's “high and dedicated
performance” but concluded that
without additional staffing, it
would not be possible for South
Beach Psychiatric Center to as-
the new

ation and at the same time
continue delivery of high quality
care

Citing 315 new items budgeted
for South Beach which have not
been filled, George Boncaraglio
second vice-president of the
chapter, said that the situation
could have disastrous effects. He
said that proposed plans of
South Beach called for the clos-
ing of out-patient clinics which
probably would mean cutbacks
in professional services of psy-
chiatrists and psychologists.

The chapter officers have re-
quested that if transfers should
become necessary that they be
done on seniority basis, and that
& seniority list be established and

What's Opinion

QUESTION
How do you Jeet abwot Prestlent Gerald Ford's refusal to aid New York City?

THE PLACE
New York City Hall Park

Sue Quinby, assistant bookkeeper: “I don't think
ae President Ford's stand is go-
~~ ing to make any difference in
the long run. I’m a Bible stu-
dent and the Bible says that
we have reached the end of
man-made government. Danie!
said in the Bible that the God
of Heaven will set up a kingdom
that will never be brought to
ruin and will not be passed
on to any other people, but will
erush and put an end to man-
made kingdoms. I do think that Gerald Ford is
in a position of leadership where he is affected
by many influences, He may have gone in with
intentions, but he's been pressured and drawn
into a compromise situation, The Bible identifies
Satan the Devil as the one who is behind all the
politics and government that we see today.”

William T. Shinick, asphalt worker, Department
of Highways; “I think the
whole attitude of the federal
government is sickening. There
are a lot of people sick about
this situation. What else does

this cit? have to do? There

have been a lot of layoffs and

- “ more coming. Does everyone
) have to go on welfare to con-

vince them we need help? Ger-

auld Pord is a politician, He's

looking out for his own inter-
ests. The federal government is supplying half
the world with food and everything and yet they
can't take care of the people right here in New
York, Abe Beame has a big job to do, and he’s
getting a kick in the pails from everyone in
Washington.”

Juan Ramondo Gonrales, assistant neighborhood
aide, Housing Authority: “Pres-
ident Ford's refusal to help the
city leads me to believe that
he cannot understand the sever-
ity of the situation in New York
City. And if he cannot under-
stand how severe things are, I
don't know exactly what it will
take to convince him that we
need help. One of the prob-
lems in our situation ts that in
times of prosperity, we have
more money to give to programs and the federal
government then matches our money. Now, when
we're in a recession and money ts scarce, so are
those matching federal funds, This has to be
changed.

Sidney Bruskin, attorney, Human Resources Ad-

ry ministration: “I feel President
Ford's decision Is one of the
Most short-sighted decisions
that has ever been made In
& government that js notorious
for its short-sightedness. This
wilt have world-wide tmpor-
tance, I can see the economy
failing throughout New York
City, New York State, the
United States and the world.
T see all kinds of problems,
besides the fact that I see a tremendous depres-
sion coming out of the failure of the bond market
and the stock market because of this. When the
government can take the time and money to re-
inforee private industry, but fails to reinforce a
municipality and its own people, they are making
a very sad mistake,”

Louis Leon, deputy director, Human Resources
Administration: “I think the
President shows an unfeeling
attitude toward the people of
New York City, which is in
keeping with his previous at-
tude toward poor people in
general. I think it's now @
matter of convincing Congress
and the President about the
impact of any failure on the
part of New York City and
how it would affect the world
as well as the United States economy. I think the
Congressmen who spoke against the city repre-
sent small towns who maintain a basic hostility
toward New York and unfortunately may have an
impact on the ability of Congress to act on our
behalf.”

Lon

Mareus,

student: “I think the President's
playing a very dangerous game
with the economy of both the
city and the country. This is
shown by how the stock mar-
ket responded Oct, 17 when the
city almost’ defaulted, I think
President Ford is totally in-
sensitive to the needs of the
people of this city. He's more
concerned with his political
image at this time and getting
re-elected. I don't think any-
can convince him that we need help, but I
hope the evidence shown by the rise and fall of
the stock market during this crisis will persuade
various congressmen that the city must be saved."

Yonkers School Unit
Keeping Job Action
Plans At The Ready

YONKERS—The Yonkers Non-Teaching unit, Civil Ser-
vice Employees Assn., has decided to maintain its posture
of readiness for job action against layoffs, following meet-
ings with representatives of the Board of Education

Carrie Cava, president of the
unit, said that “despite move-
ment on the part of Yonkers
City Manager Emmett Casey to
resolve the Board’s current defi-
cit, we have received no definite
assurance that there will be no
layoffs.”

The Board of Education had
proposed laying off 350 non-
texching employees because of

4 $7 million cut in its budget by
the City Council. ‘The union's
membership then mandated a

job action, should the Board at-
tempt to implement the Jayoffs,

However, George Minervint,
president of the Board of Edu-
cation, at a Board meeting Oct.
21, stated that the City Mana-
ger was prepared to recommend
to the City Counel] that $3.7
million of the Board's current
budget be transferred to the city
budget instead, and that the City
Council appropriate $437,000 to
the Board of Education for the
current year.

‘This, Dr. Minervint said, would
take care of one-third of the
Board's current deficit and that
additional methods would be ex-
plored to resoive the remaining
deficit. The Board then tabled
its resolution to implement bud-
ket reductions which would have
included the firings.

Commenting on the Board of
Education’s action, Ms. Cava
said, “It was our members’ uni-
fied front against layoffs and
the threat of a job action which
has caused the city to act and
the Board to postpone imple-

menting the layoffs.”

Ms, Cava called upon the un-
ion’s members to stand firm and
not to be misled by “sleight-of-
hand maneuverings or delaying
tactics” by the Board of Educa-
tion.

Pointing out that there still
remains deficit of aspproxi-
mately $800,000, she cauitioned
the employees to “keep up your
guard, and to be ready to move
at & moment's notice,” should
there be any overt action leading
to layoffs

‘The deputy sheriffs, secretaries
and matrons who comprise the
unit have already set up their
negotiating team and formula-
ted their bargaining positions,
Mr. Moxley sald

‘We expect the Cortland Coun
ty Ways and Means Committee
to recognize us Oct. 28, When
‘hey do, two minutes later we'll
be ready to negotiate,” he added.

said. “We must get the recog-
