Half-Pay Retirement Bill
. Is Winning In Legislature

Salary Reallocation Bill Introduced

Correction Officers Win
Again On Reallocations

ALBANY — A salary reallocation fight by the Civil Service Employees Assn. for the
State’s 4,000 Correction Officers — which actually began more than five years ago — reach-
ed another cross-roads last week with the approval by the State Civil Service Commission

of a one-grade reallocation.

A final decision on the realloca-
tions, however, lies with the State
Budget Director, T. Norman
Hurd, from whom CSEA expects
gn early decision,

In a related action the (Com-
mission announced it had deferred
action on CSEA requests for re-
allocation of titles within the Long

Island Park Commission, includ- |

ing traffic and park officers, and
within the State Power Plant
series. No date was indicated when
decisions on the requests would
be forthcoming.

The reallocation extends to Cor-
reetion Officers, Correction Hospi-
tal Officers and Correction Youth
Camp Officers.

The Employees Association,
which had called for reallocation
from grade 11 to grade 14, had
appealed to the Commission last
August from a denial by the Di-
vision of Classification and Com-
pensation. The Commission's de-
cision had been pending since its
hearing on the appeal last Sept-
ember.

CSEA's request had the full sup-
port of Correction Commissioner
Paul MoeGinnis, as well as that of

|various other groups and individ- |
uals, including Dr. Egon Plager,
|a prominent sociologist and peno-
|lOgist and a professor at Sienna
College in Loudonville.

A decision by the Commission
had been expected last January
When it was not forthcoming,

CSEA protested vigorously and
was assured the decision would be |
made prior to April, the beginning
of the State's fiscal year.

In 1962, after a wait of several
months, the Budget Director dis-
approved a Commission decision

Measure Receiving

Bipartisan Action
ALBANY—A bill that would guarantee State employee
members of the State Retirement System half pay retire-

ment after 30 years of service has passed the Assembly and
is receiving bi-partisan support in the Senate, it was learned

at Leader press time. Further,
the bill would make this benefit
permissively available for em-
ployees in political subdivisions.

The measure, sponsored by
Comptrolier Arthur Levitt and
strongly supported by the Civil
Service Employees Assn., would
also increase the maximum death
benefit from two to three years
salary.

The bill was introduced in the
Legislature by Sen. Norman PF.
Lent (R-Nassau) and Sen, Edward
F Lentol (D-Kings) and Assem-
blyman Harvey Lifset (D-Albany),
who is chairman of the Assem-
bly Ways & Means Committee

Subway Strike Aftermath

Federal Legislation
Expected On Local
Utilities Walkouts

By JAMES F, O'HANLON

Is a strike against a local government, particularly a strike after the fashion of
this January's New York City subway walkout, a threat to the national interest and there<
fore liable to intervention by the Federal go vernment? This question may soon become
the focal point of a national debate if the concern in the Administration and in Congresq

toward its solution evolves to the
voting stage.

During the early days of the
New York City transit walk-
out, despite great interest in
Washington, President Johnson
appeared satisfied to let the City
handle its own problem. Had the
strike ended then the President
might haye been vindicated in his
approach—or lack of approach, As
the walkout wore on however, it
became evident to the Administra-
tion that strikes of such a nature,
although taking place in areas
well out of Federal jurisdiction,
pose dangerous thfeats to the
national interest. It was at this
time that the President first con-
sidered what seems to have lately
come out of the cocoon stage
ready to emerge as legislation;
Federal authority to “deal effecy
tively"With ‘strikes! that may! Gaase
irreparable damage to the na-
tional interest.” }

Reluctance Seen

As abill, the
proposal’ calls for the authority,
to deal effectively with local
strikes involving transit facilities
in such cases and under special
conditions where a broadly de-

fined threat to the national in-

The President's bill, which is
being held back at its drafting
place in the Labor Department
waiting for Johnson's go-ahead
for Jjaunching to Capitol Hill, will
be reluctantly received by Con-
gress as any dealings with labor
in an election year call for much
more than cursory attention.
Many legislators feel that, com-
ing on top of a vote against repeal
of the section 14b of the Taft-
Hartley bill and the rising friction
caused by the Administration's
wage-guidelines and resistance to
labor's minimum wage proposals,
a fight on the anti-strike Issue |
could break the back of an al-
ready strained labor-majority re-
lationship.

‘There are others in Congress,
however, who feel that now is the
time to administer further curbs
on union power, while public
opinion tg aroused by New
York transit strike and the threat

country are embarassed by their

Don't Stop Now

HILE legislation that provides salary increases 1s

Wi toour the most dramatic bill for State workers to

come into being there are other measures ranking just as
high that deserve to be passed.

The Legislature has approved an eight percent salary
increase for State workers, which was proposed for them
after negotiations between representatives of the Civil
Service Employees Assn. and the Rockefeller Administra-
tion. But this is not the time to stop working on legislation.

For instance, there are now two bills whose passage
should call forth the utmost efforts of public employees,
both of them originated by the Employees Association, One
of them is a measure that would insure an employee of
staying in the same increment level upon promotion, which
is practically @ raise upon a raise. The importance of this
bill passing hardly need be underlined. The second vital
piece of legislation would insure half pay.zetirement after
30 years employment for State workers, This bill is permis-
sive for local subdivisions of government whose employees
are members of the State Retirement System.

There is other important legislation still pending. The
essential thing to remember is that none of these things
become actualities until they are passed by the Legislature
and approved by the Governor. The public employee's job of
keeping in contact with his Jegislator is by no means ended.

| Don't Repeat This! |

(Continued from Page 1)
of major
ments in the State Correction Of-
ficer 25-year, half-pay retirement
bill—through the sponsorship of
® Republican, Attorney General
Louls J. Lefkowitz.

At this writing, another big
bill—guaranteed half pay retire-
ment after 30 year's service for
State employees who are mem-
bers of the State Retirement Sys-
tem—bas passed the Democratic-
dominated Assembly and is get-
ting bipartisan support in the Re-
Publican-controlied Senate, The

legislation was authored by #
Democrat, Comptroller Arthur
Levitt.

John Cassesse, president of New
York City’s Patrolmen's Benevo-
Jent Assn., reports that in gen-

eral, his organization's proposals |

have been receiving good treat-
ment from both Democrats and
Republicans. “And they are being
equally bipartisan in attacking
Some of our other proposals,” he
Joked.

‘While reporting that bills spon-
sored by the Uniformed Firemen's
Assn. have been undertaken by
legislators in both parties with

the most cordiality in years, Ger- |

ald Ryan, the organisation's pres~
dent, added one note of worry—
the delay in getting final passage
Of these bills becwuse of the pre-

Jegislation—improve- |

‘occupation over such pending leg-
islation as Condon - Wadlin
changes; Miayor John Lindsay's
tax proposals and reapportion-

| ment.

With those major hurdles clear-
ed, however, public employees are
expecting one of their best ses-
sions in years in terms of truly
big gains.

Happy To Talk

Joseph P. Feily, president of the
135,000-member CSEA whose
membership ranges from New
York City to Buffalo, added this
note: “Not only do we find leg-
islators eager to sponsor civil serv-
ice bills. A good many of them
fre equally happy to appear be-
fore us to express their regard
for public employees and to show
pride in the number of civil serv-
ice bills they have sponsored.”

All of this shows once again
that the big civil service voting

| bloc in the State~an estimated

20 percent of the electorate—is
making @ deeper impression on
public life each year. Potentially,
they represent a voting strength
that could elect a governor, a U.S
Senator and @ host of other publie
officials, Both Democrats and Re-
publicans alike are showing thelr
awareness of this fact with in-

creasing a@ttention to the legisla-
live ambitions of public employees.

Civil Service
Law & You

By WILLIAM GOFFEN

(Mr. Goffen, a member of the New York War, teaches law at the
College of the City of New York, is the author of many books and
articles and co-authored “New York Criminal Law.”)

Trial Of The Issue

A RECENT DETERMINATION directs a trial of the is-
sue whether a “unit of appropriation” is available for ex-
penditure for increases in the salaries of probation and
parole officers of the City of New York (Matter of Altman
(Wagner), Schweitzer, J. Spec. Term, Part I, New York ber
Journal, March 15, 1966).

THE PROBATION AND parole officers in the Altman
matter seek judgment in their Article 78 proceeding direct-
ing the Mayor, Comptroller, and the Director of the Office
of Probation of the City of New York to pay them certain
annual salary increments allegedly payable on July 1, 1965.

FROM JULY 1, 1955 until July 1, 1965, the petitioners
received annual salary increases as part of the City’s Career
and Salary Plan. Such increments were pursuant to 1954
resolutions of the Board of Estimate of the City of New
York and the Ctiy Civil Service Commission, as well as
action of the State Civil Service Commission.

THE COURTS WERE reorganized in 1962 by the addi-
tion of Article VI to the State Constituiton creating a uni-
fied Court system for the State. As a consequence the

Administrative Board of the Judicial Conference supplanted
the City as the petitioners’ employer. The petitioners were
no longer covered by the Career and Salary Plan, Instead,
they came within the jurisdiction of the Judicial Conference.
THE CITY ASSERTED no finde:weginaindady

budget to cover the salary increments. | C rete
argued that the petitioners must, rhaps ind
finitely, the formulation by thé Jud

Career and Salary Plan. Such’ contention, owner” is ef-
fectively refuted by the Judiciary Law, Sec. 223, which
preserves salary rights of Court employees, In pertinent
part, the section provides that employees whose positions
have been abolished by the Court reorganization of 1962
shall be transferred to the Courts now exercising the juris-
diction formerly exercised by the Courts in which they were
formerly employed, The section continues that the trans-
ferred employee “shall be continued in his new position

without dimunition in salary and with the same status
and rights.”

TECHNICAL DEFENSE INTERPOSED by the City were
based upon peitioners’ alleged failure to comply with the
procedural prerequisites of a suit against the City that a
notice of claim be presented and that the petitioners en-
dorse their payroll checks under protest. With reference
to these defenses, the petition was amended to assert timely
notice of claim, As for the requirement of signature of
checks under protests, this would constitute an affirmative
defense and the Court held it is not a basis for dismissal
of the petition without proof,

THE CITY’S FINAL argument that no appropriation
had been made for payment of salary increments in the
City’s budget for the 1965-66 fiscal year had the most merit.
The general rules was expressed by the Court of Appeals by
Judge Cardozo in Stetler vy, McFarlane when he said:

“The public officer seeking payment from the public
treasury must put his finger on some statute whereby
payment !s permitted,”

TO THE SAME effect, the New York City Charter,
Sec. 123 (a) states:
“Except as otherwise provided by law, no unit of
appropriation shall be available for expenditure by any

agency until a schedule fixing position and salaries . . «
shall have been approved . .

THERE WAS NO proof of the existence of the schedule
required by the quoted language of the Charter, but the
petitioner pointed to an appropriation entitled “Added per-
sonnel cost in. the Courts,” Moreover, the Director of the
Office of Probation, included a provision for such an ap-
propriation in the request for funds for his department for

"| the fiseal year involved. Consequently, the Court declared

that a triable issue existed as to whether funds had been
Appropriated. A final Getermination aut await the out-
come of the trial,

WENTY-ONE

YEARS
LATER...

When Mayor La Guardia turned doctor on his famed
radio program one Sunday in 1944 and prescribed
what should go into a really good medical care plan, he
was not talking through his equally famed Stetson,

He was addressing himself to the medical and finan-
cial needs of city employee families as they had
revealed themselves — often tragically —‘ia the rec-
ords of the Municipal Credit Union.

The La Guardia prescription was simple .. . but it
was considered far out even. by the non-profit insur-
ance programs of that day,

He called for a health plan that would do three
things:

#4 ~Provide comprehensive medical services, including office and home
visits and specialist and preventive care.

#@°) Make this wide range of services available without extra payments to
doctors,

Set up and maintain high professional standards to assure that care
* was given only by physicians qualified in their respective fields.

H.LP, was founded to meet the full La Guardia prescription, Twenty-one years
and hundreds of thousands of subscribers later it is still the only plan in the New York

area that does so. It is still the only plan that would earn from “the Little Flower” a tip
of that celebrated black headpiece,

CSEA COMMITTEE REPORTS

Union Activities

By VITO FERRO

‘This committee met in Albany on the evening of Feb.
25. After a general discussion of available information
with respeot to union activities in public service in New
York State, and after reviewing figures which reflect
the growth of CSEA and competing employee organiza-
tions, the committee strongly reaffirmed its former con-
clusion that CSEA continues to be more successful and
effective in organizing public employees. It was interest-
ing to note that for @ recent period of time, union mem-
bership increased at about one eighth of the rate of in-
¢rease for comparable period during the early part of
last year.

The committee, once again, reiterated its opinion that
fm increasing number of new employees, as well as
some of our actual members, are joining unions because
of inadequate publicity being given to available CSEA
services and how and where to obtain same. In an effort
to counteract this situation it is recommended that each
and every chapter and unit of CSEA post on bulletin
boards at all work locations, a compelete listing of names
of chapter officials location, and telephone numbers.
This committee feels that such: publicity will not only
acquaint members and potential members with chapter
Officials, but will tend to point out to them that CSEA
assistance is available and how and where to obtain it.
Under present conditions existing in many areas, It is
conceivable that a member or potential member would
have no knowledge of the name of chapter officials or
committee officials.

‘The significant decrease in the rate at which new
membership has been gained by the union supports the
opinion “of this committee, which was reported to the
Gelegates in October of 1965, that the majority of new
Membership gains in the union is due to its insurance
program and not to its representation of employees.
Assuming that the former recommendations of this
committee have been effective, we wish to re-emphasize
the importance of engaging in a discussion at chapter
meetings which will tend to educate chapter members
‘as to the shortcomings of the union in public service.

‘The committee wishes to stress the importance with
which it views its former recommendation. that all chap-
ters establish a standard procedute for élection which

would include the mailing of ballots, containing Ab least,

two slates of nominees, to éach Chapter i . The"
lack of voting enthusiasm’ fn ‘chapter eleg can only
resblt ih control by a few!

‘The committee again wishes to utee ti at hapters to
continue to forward all material or i tion con-

cerning union activities or claims”t6 Association Head-
quarters. It urges the. chapters to publicize all their
activities. and accomplishments through some form of
news media, It is in this area where the union tends to
take credit for accomplishments of CSEA.

The commitiee also to reiterate {ts former re-
commendations, that no chapter officer hold dual mem-
bership in a competing union. Under this rule, the action
of the chapters would be guided by CSEA members only,
and the use of any chapter funds would always be direc-
ted toward CSEA activities.

‘The committee recommends to the membership com-
mittee that a brochure listing the major goals of CSEA
each year be included in the membership materials, along
with the history of past CSEA accomplishments.

‘The committee recommends that more publicity be
given to members about the improvements in the CSEA
Insurance, programs, to combat publicity by the union
on its insurance program.

In conclusion, the committee again urges all members
of the Association to be alert as to union activities, es-
pecially union claims of accomplishments, which are
usually the result of hard work by CSEA employees.

Public Relations

By RAYMOND G, CASTLE

The main consideration of the public relations eom-
mittee at the two meetings it has held since its forma-
tion in January has been the resolution of the delegates
to the October, 1965 annual meeting that the CSEA-
sponsored motion picture, “Accent On Service,” be suit
ably edited and a new sequence inserted, As a result of
& thorough investigation of the feasibility of such a
change, Audio Productions, Inc., producers of the film,
has submitted two possible methods of accomplishing
this.

‘The first would involve changes in the last reel of
the film only, in which four or five of the wrap-up scenes
would be replaced with scenes depicting the desired civil
service personnel. Materials and services for this method
would come to approximately $6,000.

Method two would involve inserting an entire new
sequence in reel one of the existing film, and would call
for writing and recording new narration, realignment
of musioal score and combining both for a new final
sound track and other extensive changes. Cost of ma-

terials and service for this method would come to about
$11,000.

Audio Production has assured CSBA that either method
will result in a smooth revision of our film.

Based on a thorough examination of the minutes of
the October, 1965, annual meeting, the committee reached
the conclusion that the delegates desire an entire new
sequence and, therefore, recommends method two, In
line with this, the committee recommends that $12,000
of the $15,000 allocated for public relations in the 1965-66
budget of the Association be appropriated for the pur-
pose of inserting the recommended new sequence into
the film, with the assurances that every possible economy
in preparing the insert will be taken advantage of. (This
expendtiure was approved by delegates).

In addition to its work on the film, the committee
has also worked closely with the public rélations staff
in formulating programs and policies on various public
relations needs of the Association, its chapters and its
individual members. Among these were the need to boost
publicity and public relations efforts on the local level;
the need for chapter newsletters; and the need to pro-
mote a better image of the public employee on every
level of government in New York State.

On the first point, the need for greater public rela-
tions and publicity efforts on the part of chapters, the
committee recommended several approaches. Among
these were more use of CSEA fieldmen in participating
in the distribution and formulation of news in their
particular areas; the use of CSEA committee members
in carrying back to their local media developments and
decisions of general interest resulting from state-wide
committee meetings and deliberation; formulation of a
pilot program under which groups of chapters in the
same geographical area might work together in promot-
ing methods of obtaining better and more frequent cover
age in local news media,

In conjunction with the need for Internal newsletters
in all chapters, the committee has requested staff to
follow through with the creation of an annual award
program under which various types of chapter news-
letters would be singled out for-special praise and would
be given appropriate recognition by the parent organi-
zation for their efforts in this area.

Under the third point above, the committee also re-

commends that headquarters staff draw up guidelines for
& CSEA “Public'Bmiployee/Of The Year” a wee lee
‘on all levels of public employment within

committee also is working with the Civil Leader At
‘On a proposed series of articles entitled “'T! Servite

—A Community of Influence.” The series ablective ts
to enhance the civil servant's concept of His own im-
portance in contemporary society, It would approach
this goal in two ways: first, it would identify the in-
dividual public employee with the magnitude-and scope
of government in the abstract; second, it would identify
all public employees—from the highest official to the
lowliest clerk—as being part of one elite group, imply-
ing a certain equality in status and sharing of prestige
among all concerned, Hopefully this upgrading of the
image of the public employee in his own eyes would
strengthen his sense of purpose in his work-and anything
related to it, particularly the Civil Service Employees
Association. Tt is felt that in thus revitalizing the in-
dividual CSEA member's attitude toward his job and
the CSBEA, this series of articles should prove an impor-
tant step forward in projecting to the world at large a
clearer and better Image of the public employee and
the Association.

In addition to the above, the committee has spent
much time discussing other publicity and public rela-
tions needs of the Association and will continue to work
closely with the staff on formulating programs and
answers to these needs,

Membership

By SAM EMMETT &
IRVING FLAUMENBAUM, Co-Chairmen

CSEA continues to grow. Our total membership at
present is 135,183, the highest ever. Our State division
now totals 95,136; county division 38,512, and we have
1,535 associate members,

Our committee had two meetings since the October,
1965 annual meeting. We discussed ways and means to
increase our membership strength. Membership reports
showing progress or lack of it in each chapter were
reviewed, CSEA staff was consulted relative to their re«
commendations, and as to efforts the committee felt
should be made.

Our committee has set the goal of 145,000 as total
membership to be achieved by September 30, 1966, We
urge the utmost effort on the part of all conference and
chapter officers and chapter membership committee.
Working together we are confident that we can achieve
this goal,

Our committee strongly recommends as follows:

bership committee chairmen within the conference
area In planning effective membership efforts within
each chapter, and to act as Haison between the area
chapter membership committee chairmen and CSEA
Headquarters in the membership effort.

© The president of each conference invite the
chapter membership committee chairmen {n its area
‘to attend all conference téetings. The purpose of
this Is to expose these committee chairmen to first-
hand knowledge and experience in the operation of
‘the association on a broad basis.

© Puture educational seminars, conducted by
CSEA Headquarters staff, on regional conference or
other basis, include a session on “Organization and
Conduct of the Chapter Membership Campaign.”

© Chapter membership campaign material be ready
‘and distributed in early September each year to
each chapter to enable time for organization of the
campaign prior to the start of the legislative session
in January. The material to be given each non-
member should be contained in separate envelopes
‘to enable easier distribution.

chapter officers to assure that their chapter has a

complete membership committee which is kept well

informed, and thus able to canvass and recanvass
all non-members to acquaint them with CSEA pro-
grams, services and accomplishments and secure
their membership.

~ @ Payroll deduction of dues privilege be arranged
in every political subdivision. Bach county division
chapter should have a committee to work on this,

Payroll deductions for low-cost CSEA insurance

should also be arranged to attract new members.

© New employees be canvassed for membership
‘48 soon as possible after they begin work. Each chap-
ter should set up a system to assure this.

© Luncheon or dinner meetings of chapter mem-
bership committees should be arranged to encourage
continuous membership effort, and to assure that
the membership committee is fully informed and able

‘to sell CSEA.

Recently at the request of your committee, President
Felly set to all chapters a detailed membership report
i. listed each chapter, showing how many new mem-

rs each rote October 1, 1965. ns rt also

indicated that over 10% of membership is lost each year
because of these reasons and this loss has to be over-
come before any net gain in membership can be achieved
during the year.

Our committee will continue its review of member-
ship progress of each CSEA chapter and recommend
ways and means of assuring attainment of our goal of
145,000 members by Sept. 30, 1966,

We again urge all chapter officers and chapter mem-
bership committees to continue their efforts to convince
all non-members to join CSEA and take an active part
in the worthwhile accomplishments being achieved for
Public employees throughout the State,

Work Performance Ratings
By SAMUEL GROSSFIELD

Your chairman of the Work Performance Rating Com-
mittee continued to represent the committee before the
Civil Service Commission: He met with CSEA staff mem-
bers, particularly Joseph D. Lochner; Henry Galpin, and
Tom Coyle—and also discussed these questions with
CSEA President, Joseph F. Feily, From. these meetings
and discussions, we can report limited progress in holding
the line against “experimentation” of promotion ratings,
which we are pleased to report are still Mmited to only
(1) Office of General Services and (2) Public Service
Department, How long the Civil Service Commission will
continue to grant them the right of experimentation is
anybody's guess, We think the time is long past due when
the experimentation should be stopped and this system
done away with altogether,

We are also concerned about the definition of the
ratings of “UNSATISFACTORY.” We intend to watch
very closely the action of the agency heads to make
sure that they are not increasing unduly the number of
Unsatisfactory ratings, and furthermore, we shall con-
test any unsatisfactory rating which 1s not justified,

We do not like the rule on privilege of granting un-
satisfactory ratings on temporary assignments nor the
Possibility that employees who accept provisional up
grading may get unsatisfactory ratings and thereby lose
Increments and promotional opportunities.

We also have taken exception to the definition of
“UNSATISFACTORY” which contains the statement
“one incident.” We have also registered our disapproval
of the permissivencss allowed the performance rating

CSEA COMMITTEE REPORTS

(Continued from Page 14)
board to grant or withhold personal interviews as it sees
fit.

A new work performance rating committee has been
set up and shortly after this annual meeting, we shall
call a full committee meeting to launch a new attack
‘on the above problems. This is all that your chairman
can report at this time and would welcome criticism or
recommendations from this body of delegates at this
time or at any future time,

NON TEACHING AIDES
By VERNON TAPPER

This committee met on the evening of Feb, 25 to dis-
‘uss the problems of the non-teaching personnel within
the school districts. One of the main problems is the
tremendous amount of school districts in New York
State. Since many of the rulings for these districts
are local, it becomes quite Involved in any attempt
to equate the various problems. One of the discussions
held at this meeting was the discrimination factor
involving the teaching and non-teaching personnel.
Under this ruling the teachers do not have to live in
the school district where they are employed, whereas
the non-teaching personnel of a school district are
required to do so, Some members of the committee
were in favor of this ruling while others were
definitely against it. It was decided, since this rule
is local, that each local chapter woutd handle this
Problem as part of its program.

“It was the concensus of the committee that the
non-teaching, employees need help from the Associa-
tion. The committee recommends and requests that
one employee in Association Headquarters be a lial-

son between the Association Headquarters and the
non-teaching employees, The employee should be con-
versant in schoo! district problems. This duty could
be that of a new fieldman, whereby he could special-
ize in school district problems, It was estimated by
the committee that the potential membership amounts
to close to 50,000 and that the Association should
make every effort to organize them. The main prob-
lem {n organizing the non-teaching personnel is that
the Board of Education will not authorize pay-
roll deductions of dues, thereby frustrating any mem~-
bership drive.

A discussion was held concerning collective bargain-
ing. Since the Association is now involved in the
study of this matter, it was decided that the recom-
mendation be forwarded to the Labor Relations Com-
mitee. The recommendation of the committee stated
that each school distiict unit be the sole collective bar-
gaining agent.

The classification survey made in Nassau County con-
cerning the schoo! district titles and specifications was
presented for discussion by Nassau members of the com-
mittee, The committee was advised by the Nassau mem-
bers that there are many aspeots of this survey that
they do not agree with, It was suggesed by the mem-
bers of the committee that a letter be written to the
Nassau Civil Service Commission for further details.

Tt was recommended by the committee that the
word “mandatory” be deleted from the bill, making it
mandatory of all school districts to file a salary sched-
ule for non-teaching employees. It was recommendéd
that wording such as eliminating discriminatory prac-
tices in regards to salaries between the teaching and
non-teaching personnel be used. This recommenda-
tion was submitted to CSEA counsel for further action.

County Division

By “| HEACOX

This committee met on Feb. 18, and considered the
details of its earlier recommendation to conduct addi-
tional workshops in centrally located areas this spring.

Tt is the recommendation of the committee that one
workshop be held a a convenient place between Syra-
cuse and Rochester to encompass the West-Central and _
‘Western part of the State, and one in the Capital Dis-»
trict area to encompass the upper Hudson Valley and,
environs area. It also suggested that these be held onl?
Saturdays early in May and June.

Your chairman and consultant will contact leaders
in each of these areas to center responsibility for time
and place, and other details,

It is planned that these workshops be patterned
after the one held for county division delegates of
the Long Island Conference last June. These wo!
are working sessions designed to perform internal edu-
cational functions for chapter and unit officers anda
all others interested.

The committee also recommends that attention pe {
directed toward intensifying CSEA’s efforts at local
government level to emphasize the fact that we are the
dominant employee representative and to impress on
local legislative bodies jye need of progressing our pro-
gram. It is the feeling of this committee that if this re~
quires additional expenditure of funds that ways and
means should be explored to do this. The committee
plans to review this aspect of the problem in greater
depths at its future meetings. A primary object of this
project would be to combat affiliated unions at the
local government level.

Reallocation Bill

Joseph F. Feily,.CSEA presi-
dent, noted that it was not only
an absolute neoessity that the
Budget Director approve the Cor-
rection Officer reallocation but
also pointed out that these em-
ployees should be put in the new
srade at the same increment earn-
ing level in their present grade.
A bill to this effect sponsored by
the» Employees Association and
now receiving support from Gov.
Rockefeller is in the Legislature
and would apply to all State
workers. Feily termed approval of
this CSEA-sponsored measure as
as “ranking in importance only
behind the salary bill.”

The Employees Association
president- urged Correction Of-
fieers and all other CSEA mem-
bers to write immediately to their
legislators urging passage of the
reallocation bill.

Felly said, “If the bill becomes
law before the effective date of a
reallocation, most employees, par-
Uoularly those in the Department
of Correction, will receive sub-
stantially higher pay under this
bill with a one-grade increase then

conservatively estimated that the
Governor's bill, if implemented;
would double the cost to the
State of such « reallocation.”

A measure ready for Senate
action, sponsored by the Em-

expected to receive bipartisan

Feily Cautions Mombers

In the meantime, CSEA Presi-
dent. Joseph F. Feily cautioned
State and local employees agains!
relaxing their efforts in getting
legislator support for Employee
joclation bills.

“Our work in the Legislature
did not stop with passage of the
pay bill.” he declared. “In fact
that was only the beginning. The

guaranteed half-pay retirement |

bill is of the utmost importance
to all State and local employees
who are members of the Retire-
ment System, I am encouraged by
the bipartisan support of this
measure and will urge Governor
Rockefeller to continue such sup-
port when the legislation is ap-
proved by the Senate, But our
own members must show heavy
backing of this bill in the mean-
time,"*

annum.

“The Board of Supervisors and
the County Executive have indi-
cated that they are making a care-
ful study of this program and will
advise of their decisions. Pay
for accumulated sick leave upon
retirement, is subject to State
legislation. This legislation is now
in the hands of legislators and
has been submitted by the CSEA.
Our members will be notified of
the bill numbers and will be asked
to send letters to our local 4

islators for passage of such
bill", Flaumenbaum said.
