CSEA Steamrollers SEIU In Thruway Vote

ALBANY — The Civil Ser-
vice Employees Assn. scored
an impressive victory over a
challenging union last week
to retain representation rights
for more than 2,200 toll, main-
tenance and clerical employees
of the New York State Thruway
Authority.

In a mail ballot election sup-
ervised by the State Public Em-
ployment Relations Board, the
CSEA registered a 901-632 vic-
tory over the rival Service Em-
ployees International Union,
which was listed on the ballots
as Local 698, AFL-CIO.

“This is an important victory

for the people themselves, be-
cause it means their negotiat-
ing team can go back to the
bargaining table with the solid
support of the membership be-
hind their union,” said Patrick
Monachino, CSEA collective bar-
gaining specialist, chief nego-

tiator for the Thruway workers.

The CSEA and the Thruway
Authority had been engaged in
negotiations on a new contract
for several weeks prior to the
challenge, but the Authority
broke off all talks several weeks
ago when the challenge became
official,

Dorothy MacTavish Dies;
CSEA Secretary 9 Years

ALBANY—Dorothy MacTavish, secretary of the Civil
Service Employees Assn. since 1967, died last week after an

extended illness.

Mrs. MacTavish had seemed in good spirits at the July

@ meeting of the CSEA Board of
Directors, although the strain of
her long battle for health was
evident. She had undergone nu-
merous operations and treat-
ments during the past two years.

A native of Amsterdam, she
lived and worked in the Albany
area for more than 26 years. It
was in 1950 that she entered
CSEA service, when she accepted
a stenographic position at union
headquarters.

Her employment there lasted

for ten years, In 1960, she ac-

and most recently was a secre-
tary in the Division of Handi-
capped Children, Education De-
partment. Before that she had
been employed in the Lieutenant
Governor's Office and that of the
Presiding Judge of the Court
of Claims.

Prior to her election as state-
wide CSEA secretary, she had
been president of the Court of
Claims chapter in Albany.

She was also an active mem-
ber of the National Secretaries
Assn. and the Order of the East-
ern Star.

CSEA president Theodore C.
Wenzl offered this tribute: “In
the passing of Dorothy Mac-
Tavish, the CSEA has lost a
dedicated and most loyal state-
wide officer. Her long-time pop-
ularity amongst our membership
attests to her outstanding and
ever-faithful service in behalf
of government employees. She
will be sorely missed.”

CSEA Objects: Manhattan PC
Employee Manual Is Withdrawn

MANHATTAN—The Civil Service Employees Assn., charging violation of its contract,

has caused a manual

“Time, Attendance and Accrual Procedure,” prepared by the admin-
istration of Manhattan Psychiatric Center, to be suspended.

Citing 34 alleged violations, George Bispham, CSEA New York City Region II super-

visor, said, “The manual was
prepared and implemented on
May 20 without prior consulta-
tion with the CSEA.” He charged
violation of the contracts in-
volving four units represented
by the union, the Institutional,
the Professional Scientific and
Technical, the Administrative
and the Operational Units.

A grievance against the use
of the manual was initiated June
28 by Manhattan PC chapter
president, James Fields, and
CSEA field representative Harold
Krangle. The remedy sought was
the withdrawal of the bookiet.
Mr. Krangle said that the con-
tract violations, affecting the
working conditions of some 2,700
employees, included items in the
manual dealing with work/day-
work/week, tardiness, compen-
satory time, sick leave, leaves
with pay and requiring of PS&T
employees to sign im and out.

The grievance was denied on
July 7, but an agreement was
reached between the union and
Manhattan PC providing that a
joint labor-management group
meet to resolve problems raised
by the manual. The meeting was
held in Albany July 16. In addi-~
tion to Messrs. Bispham, Krangle
and Fields, other CSEA officials
were William McGowan, unton
vice-president; James Roemer,
counsel; Robert Guild, collective
bargaining specialist; Al Sund-
mark, chapter grievance com-
mittee chairman, and Floyd
Payne.

Officials of the Department of
Mental Hygiene were Commis-
stoner Lawrence Kolb, Assistant
Commissioner John Lagatt and
Associate Commissioner Jerry
Dunn.

Following a discussion of the

issues, the union was requested
to submit a brief listing the vio-~
lations. Meanwhile, the depart-
ment officials said, further im-
plementation of the booklet
would be suspended tnd that
there would be a temporary halt
on all grievances and disciplin-
ary actions started since the
booklet was issued.

Expressing guarded satisfac-
tion over the manual's suspen-
sion, Mr. Bispham said that
there is no doubt that the ad-
ministration wilfully engaged in
an unfair labor practice. He
stated that he suspected a “plan-
ned, premeditated, programmed”
effort on the part of the de-
partment to seek a confronta-
tion with the union, not only in
institutions in the New York
City Region, but throughout the
state.

Mr. Bispham further noted
that Manhattan PC is in close
proximity to the Harlem area
and employs a large number of
minority group workers. Certain
administrative actions at Man-
hattan PC, including the current
episode, he said, “could be ra-
cially motivated.”

Heading Back
For Schooling

The US. Civil Service Com-
mission is offering a course
called “Construction Contracts”
for government employees. Class-
es will be held in Washington,
DC.

Running from Sept. 27 through
Oct. 1 it will train personnel in
construction contracting

Asked if he felt Munhattan
PC was being used by the de-
partment as an opening wedge
to attack employee rights, Mr
Bispham replied affirmatively
saying, “They think if they can
get away with it here, they will
et away with it at other in-
stitutions.”

A union spokesman said that
he had knowledge of other in-
stitutions preparing booklets
similar to that issued by Man-
hattan PC.

Nassau Mounts Info Blitz
To Win C-Of-L Increases

MINEOLA—The Nassau County chapter, Civil Service
Employees Assn., has prepared an in-depth presentation of
the case for a cost-of-living adjustment for county employees
to be presented at an open legislative determination sched-

uled for Aug. 2.

A heavy emphasis on the facts,
including the recommendations
of two out of three members
of a fact-finding panel that a
6.6 percent pay increase is justi-
fied, will be stressed

The CSEA has prepared sta-
tistical data, research and graphs
to make the points clear plus ex-
pert testimony for presentation
before the Board of Supervisors.

“The facts of the case are
overwhelming,” asserted Irving
Flaumenbaum, president of the
23,000-member chapter.

The action came following a
pre-hearing conference between
Mr. Flaumenbaum, who is also a
CSEA vice-president and head of
the union's Long Island Region
I, and members of the board.
The private conference had been
arranged pending the setting of
a date for a formal hearing.

The legislative determination
of an imposed contract was the
final stage prescribed by the
Taylor Law following the collapse
of efforts to negotiate a con-
tract with the administration of
County Executive Ralph G. Caso.

Mr. Caso had steadfastly re-
fused to bargain throughout 10
months of negotiations and ig-
nored the majority findings of
the fact-finding panel that a
cost-of-living pay increase was
the minimum that should be
granted, One fact-finder called

for a 6.6 per cent increase re-
troactive to last Jan. 1. The
chairman of the panel compro-
mised what he called a proven
case for the 6.6 percent with
the county's pleas of fiscal crisis
and recommended 6.6 percent
effective at mid-year.

Mr. Flaumenbaum had earlier
exposed the fact that the coun-
ty’s financial bind is attributable
to capital spending and other
projects, rather than payroll
costs. The CSEA has advised both
the fact-finders and the Board
of Supervisors that payroll costs
have been running below the
budgeted amount.

Mr. Caso has claimed that the
county faces a deficit of $22
million.

“It has been shown to the
satisfaction of the majority of
fact-finders that the county's
financial problems are not at-
tributable to payroll,” Mr.
Flaumenbaum declared.

“The Board of Supervisors is
on the spot to determine wheth-
er it will go along with the
county executive's idea of mak-

ing up his deficit spending by °

depriving the employees of their
rightful pay.”

The ch@pter has planned a
stepped-up political action role
to be determined by the outcome
of the legislative hearing.

Low Income Wage Earners Suffolk Sets OC Exams, Promos

Could Have Money Coming

MANHATTAN—Although the April 15 deadline for filing
federal income tax returns is past, certain low-income indi-
viduals who did not have to file tax returns can still receive
up to $400 from the government by filing a return now, ac-

cording to Charles H. Brennan,
IRS District Director for Man-
hattan, Bronx, Staten Isiand,
Westchester and Rockland
Counties.

The $400 payment is the max-
imum provided under an “earned
Income credit” established by
Congress. The credit can only be
Paid to those filing income tax
returns, even though they would
not otherwise be required to file
&® return because their earnings
are eo low, Mr. Brennan said.

To qualify for the credit,
workers must have received less
than $8,000 in total income from
all sources in 1975. This includes
wages, salary, tips, or other
compensation. Additionally, the
individuals must have paid more
than half the cost of matntain-

ing a home in the U.S. for them-
selves and at least one dependent
child for the entire year. The
dependent child must be younger
than 19 years old, or a full-time
student

‘Those qualifying for the
credit who had total income of
$4,000 or less would receive a
check for 10 percent of their
earned income, up to the maxi-
mum of $400. The amount of the
credit is reduced when income
from ‘all sources runs between
$4,000 and $8,000

Individuals who believe they
may qualify for the credit, but
who have not filed an income
tax return this year should con-
tact their nearest Internal Rev-

Arbitrator Decision In Warren
Seen Holding Broad Implications

ALBANY—An arbitrator's decision in a case involving the Warren County chapter,
Civil Service Employees Assn., and Warren County may cause a statewide and perhaps na-
tionwide impact on public sector contract negotiations.
The American Arbitration Assn.’s arbitrator, Irving R. Shapiro, was presented with

two significant issues to decide.
‘They were, first, whether arbit-
ration which was provided for
in a contract was advisory or
binding, and, second, whether to
sustain or reject a past practice
even though the contract did not
contain a past practice clause

‘The case began as a result of
the county's alleged failure to
treat an employee who was pro-
moted to a new position in the
same way it treated an employee
who transferred to a position in
the same step level and time in
grade situation

The CSEA Warren County
chapter, assisted by CSEA field
representatives Aaron Wagner
and Michael White, proceeded to
follow the grievance procedure
in the existing document. Unable
to resolve union-county differ-
ences, they moved to submit the
dispute to arbitration again in
accordance with the contract.
The county and the CSEA then
chose an arbitrator from a list
provided by the AAA

The county later added an-
other issue to the case by ques-
tioning if arbitration in the con-
tract was advisory or binding.

Basing his decision on the
language of the contract, the
legal definition of the word, the
arbitrator found that unless the
courtly held in full or in part
the right to reject the awards
of arbitrators in the contract, it
was completely bound by the
arbitrators’ decisions.

On the second issue, the ar-
bitrator found, after a review of
til previous contract negotiations
and testimony of various county
employees, that the county nor-
mally treated promotions the
same‘ as transfers in regard to
step and time in grade. The ar-
bitrator found also that the em-
ployees assumed that the county
would continue to treat this
situation as similar

Mr. Shapiro then issued his
decision stating “through the
process of collective negotiations
they (the employees) seek to im~-
prove their terms and conditions
of employment, as they see such

‘The conditions with which
they are satisfied, they do not
endeavor to change and natur-
ally desire to be continued, The
demands submitted for negotia-
tions deal with facets of the job
with which they are discontent.
The document which results
from the negotiated settlement
does not, in many instances set
forth all of the working condi-
tions and benefits which pre-
vailed prior to the institution of
the new relationship of collective
as against individual ‘bargaining’
and which it is mutually as-
sumed will endure.

“It is @ well-established hold-
ing by arbtrators of disputes in-
volving collectively bargaining
agreements that the fashion in

which the parties acted, with

their understanding.”

Judge Reserves Decision
In CSEAer’s $1.5 Million
Esopus Board Libel Suit

KINGSTON—Justice William Murray, in a special ses-
sion of the Ulster County Supreme Court, reserved decision
following a recent hearing on a $1.5 million suit brought
against the Esopus Town Board by former Esopus police

sergeant Joseph Feraca Sr.

The sult, charging libel, names
former Councilman John Bow-
man, present Councilmen George
Villielm, Thomas Johnson and
Prank Bell and Esopus Commis-
sioner Prank Wiest.

Mr. Feraca alleges that after
Nbeling him, the Town Board
fired him from the police de-
partment without a hearing.

James J, Lennon, president of
the Civil Service Employees
Assn.'s Southern Region III, has
gone on record defending Fer-
aca's suit,

“Mr. Feraca has an impeccable
record of good citizenship,” the
CSEA official declared. “In ad-
dition to his 17 years’ experi-
ence on the force, he is a leader
in the community and is widely
admired by the people in this
area. It seems awfully suspicious
that he was suddenly thrown off
the force with no explanktion to
the public even though an ex-
planation was demanded.”

Mr. Feraca is president of the
CSEA unit in the Kingston City
Consolidated Schools and is head
of security at Kingston High

School

“The Town Board mysterious-
ly appoints every single incum-
bent on the police force with
the exception of Mr. Feraca,”
Mr. Lennon continued. “What
are they trying to hide? Why
lare they afraid of Joe Feraca?”
Mr. Lennon asked.

“The CSEA is proud to join
the citizens of Ulster County in
demanding My, Feraca’s rein-
statement, especially since the
‘Town Board refuses to reveal the
reason why they refused to re-
appoint him,” Mr. Lennon added.
“It's about time the Board
stopped regarding town govern-
ment as their private clubhouse.”

While on the town police force,
Mr. Feraca helped to found the
Ulster County Constables Assn.
He was also a founder of the
Rifton Youth Club and served as
a fire captain for 14 years. Mr.
Feraca is also a member of the
Ulster County Safety Council.
His libel suit is being pressed by
attorney Joseph Spiegel of Mul-
ler, Moran and Spiegel, Pough-
keepsie.

Congratulations, CSEA

HERE is the venerable story of the man who, while bang-

ing his head into a brick wall, was observed by a friend.

Asked why he was punishing himself so, the man replied,
“Because it feels so good when I stop.”

The story came to mind When we received news of the
back-to-back victories scored last week by the Civil Service
Employees Assn. in employee representation elections
against the Service Employees International Union, AFL-
CIO. The victories, both by appreciable margins, were
notched in Sullivan County and the New York State Thru-
way Authority.

Hearty congratulations, of course, are due to both
CSEA staffers and members whose hard and dedicated work
was responsible for the wins. They are the latest in a long
series of CSEA victories over the hapless SEIU. The latter
union seems to take what has to be an almost masochistic
relish in bringing about representation elections and then
getting soundly trounced when it comes time to count the
ballots. Perhaps, like the man and his brick wall, SEIU feels
good when the balloting stops. But the most recent election
results simply reinforce the old political axiom—you can't
beat somebody with nobody. It is abundantly clear that
CSEA is somebody.

One element in the Thruway election gave us pause,
however, SEIU polled less than 30 percent of the votes cast.
When 30 percent of a given union entity sign a petition
for a rival union, the Public Employment Relations Board
is obliged to call an election. Many times, people sign
petitions requesting an election to oblige a friend or to
shake up the leadership of his or her own union while in-
tending to vote for the incumbent representative.

We feel this is essentially non-productive. While it is
Rood to oblige a friend or fun to shake up union leadership,
representation elections are costly affairs in terms of time,
effort and money. The time, effort and money expended
could be used far more effectively in negotiating new
contracts with better pay and working conditions.

But it was a good week for CSEA. And we wonder when
SEIU will get tired of hitting its head against a brick wall.

Questions & Answers

[Questions & Answers |

Q. My father is 65 and doesn't
have enough social security work
credits to get Medicare hospital
insurance, Is there any other way
he can qualify for this protec-
tion?

A. He can get hospital insur-
ance by paying @ monthly pre-
mium of $45 (effective for the
12 months starting July 1976). He
also must sign up for medical
insurance and pay the additional
premium of $7.20 a month. Your
father should call, write, or visit
any social security office for
more information if he's in-
terested.

Q. My husband died recently
and even though I am over 50,

ity to reach a free and indepen-
dent decision about the candi-
date for Vice President from

among the six prospects who,

Governor Carter had hnnounced,
be had under active considera-
tion

‘This in no way reflects upon
the qualities of Senator Walter
Mondale, who might well have
been the choice of the delegates
had they enjoyed the opportun-
ity to act upon the nomination
for themselves. In some subtle
respects that would have made
the Senator a more powerful
candidate.

Dramatic Changes

There is a lesson here that
the Republicans might bear in
mind when thelr convention
meets in Kansas City in the
middle of August. Obviously both
President Cerald Ford and Gov.
Ronald Reagan have given some
thoughts about 1 running mate.
Indeed, President Ford, who
feems clearly to be the more
likely nominee, has publicly an-
nounced that he has several per-
sons in mind for the Vice Presi-
dential nomination

From a political, governmental
and public relations point of
view, whoever the Republican
nominee might be, he would do
well to permit the delegates to
exercise free choice in the selec-
tion of a running mate, from &
list proposed by the candidate
for President.

The notion that the candidate
for President should on his own
determine his running mate ts
archaic, obsolete and fails to ac-
count for the dramatic changes
that have taken place in the
selection of delegates to the
nominating conventions.

There was a time not too long
ago when delegates to nominat-
ing conventions were hand-
picked by the professionals—the
bosses, if you prefer a pejorative
term. The selection of the candi-
date for President was the prod-
uct largely of deals made in
smoke-filled rooms by the po-
litical leaders. For example, in
1932, when Franklin D. Roose-
vet was first nominated, the
Democrats required a two-thirds
vote of the delegates for the
nomination. This was designed
to give the so-called solid South
a veto power over the nomina-
tion.

30 Primaries

Under the circumstances,
Roosevelt's campaign manager,
the late James A. Farley, entered
into a deal with Southern dele-
gations under which House
Speaker John Nance Garner of
Texas was nominated for Vice
President.

However, political times have
changed. During the present
year delegates to the conventions
were selected in primaries in
some 30 stutes, more primaries
than we ever had before. These
open primaries have substanti-
ally curbed the power of the po-
litkea! leaders to dictate to their
delegations. This is the circum-
stance that has caused both
President Ford and Governor
Reagan to direct personal up-
peals for support to individual
delegates as against party lead-
ers.

Adlai Stevenson was sensitive
to the changing political winds
when, in 1956, he threw open to
the convention the freedom to
nominate the Vice President,

Bargaining Complications
In a recent decision, the Supreme Court, Rensselaer
County, was faced with the issue of whether an expired
collective bargaining agreement between a Schooi District

and the Teachers Assn. continued in force until a successor
agreement between the parties was executed.
* . .

THIS CASE AROSE when the School District made an
application pursuant to Section 7503(b) of the Civil Practice
Law and Rules to stay arbitration of grievances on the
ground that a valid agreement to arbitrate did not exist.
The School District argued that the Teachers Assn. had no
right to arbitration because the agreement providing that
right had expired. The rationale of the District's position
was that the contract remained in effect until June 30,
1975, and this contract contained no provision for an auto-
matic extension of its terms. Therefore, when the contract
that provided the Teachers Assn. with the right to arbitra-
tion expired, the teachers no longer had the right to ar-
bitration. Relying on the holding of Board of Education of
Connetquot Central School District No. 7 vy. Connetquot
Teachers Assn., the Teachers Assn. argued that the terms of
the expired agreement remained in effect until a successor
agreement was executed. Therefore, the Teachers Assn. con-
cluded that they still had the right to bring a grievance to
arbitration because the old contract granted them that right.

. . *

IN ITS DECISION, the court granted the stay of ar-
bitration of grievances, thereby concluding that the terms
of an expired collective bargaining agreement do not con-
tinue until the execution of a new agreement. The rationale
of the court is as follows: The court stated that it would
be grossly unfair to the School Df&trict at the negotiations
of the new agreement to bind the District to the terms of
the expired agreement, The court concluded that binding
the School District to the expired terms would presuppose
that the Teachers Assn. could negotiate an agreement that
would provide its members with salary and benefits that
were equal to or better than those of the prior agreement.
In the words of the court, “The Assn. would be locked into
@ guaranteed gain position, and the employers in an assured
losing stance.”

THE COURT ALSO examined the Taylor Law to deter-
mine whether there were any specific provisions of the
law which stated that the terms of an expired collective
bargaining agreement continue until a new agreement is
reached. Unable to find a provision that extended the terms
of an expired agreement, the court concluded that “if the
Legislature had been seeking this result, presumably direct
language would have been employed.” Thus, based on an
attempt to keep the parties on equa! footing at the nego-
tation of the new agreement, and absent language in the
Taylor Law stating that the terms of an expired agreement
continue until a new agreement is reached, the court held
that the expired agreement did not continue until the new
agreement was executed Betts v. Teachers Assn., 92 LRRM

OPINIONS

Theresa Thomas, school principal: “I, like a
great many of the workers who
are left, who tend to be old-
timers, feel that as far as I'm

duced. The majority of city

~s workers are producing up to

their utmost. There is no

- doubt that we are working up

to our optimum and deserve

whatever we can get when It's

Possible to get a raise. One re-

sult that I see is the old-timers,

who have been doing good jobs right along, now

think that because of the reductions in staff, and

because they're expected to produce twice as much,

are for the first time thinking strongly of leaving

the system. You're going to lose your good, old-

time, hard workers because they can't produce any

more than they've always produced; they're get-
ting pretty exhausted.

Harry Silver, auditor: “It depends upon the job a
person has. Some jobs can be
measured in productivity, but
it may be difficult to meas-
ure productivity in other jobs.
That's why the problem has to
be studied, You can’t just make
an overall, across-the-board de-
termination that people must
produce more to get more. This
isn't fair in certain positions
where brain power is the im-
portant thing, not how much
are producing. You might take twice as

you
jong to come out with something, but the results

may be far better than those someone does

quickly and which have no meaning or real

results. Officials just can't say everyone must
produce more to get an increase. That's not really
fair. It has to be selective.”

Andrew Zuber, smal] business specialist: “The
quality of work should be tm-
proved—that’s increased pro-
ductivity. Management should
find ways within itself to cut
out duplication of effort. Better
supervision in guiding the
workers to what js essentia] and
what isn’t essential. Right now
they are doing away with one
step of the management pro-
cess; in many businesses they

# found out is wasn't really neces-
sary. I feel better productivity lies with manage-
ment getting their ducks in a row, cutting out
some of the unnecessary work and getting it down
to where the worker can do meaningful work."

Of Decisions
Editor, The Leader;

In the July 16 issue of the
Leader it is stated: “Whereas
the approximately 2,300 vote
Delegate Convention is the ul-
timate policy making body of
the Civil Service Employees As-
sociation, delegates meet only
twice a year. In the interim, the
Board (of Directors) is the su-
preme body and may, if clrcum-
stances warrant, reverse Dele-
mates decision.”

I respectfully disagree, Article
TV Section 2 of the Constitution
provides that the acts of the
Board of Directors shall be sub-
ject to the power and authority
of the Delegates at meetings of

the Association. It follows that
not only cannot the Board re-
verse the decisions of the Dele-
gates but that the opposite is
true

The Delegates constitute the
ultimate policy making body of

stitution and By Laws provide
for one Annual Meeting and one

Delegates, it is also provided

This resulted in & spirited con-
test between Senator Estes Ke-
fauver and Senator John F.
Kennedy. Senator Kefauver won.

There was a time when the
Vice President was regarded as
& musical- comedy bumbling
Throttlebotton, That is no longer
true. In fecent years the Vice
Presidency has become a step-
ping stone to the Oval office
itself. Thus Presidents Truman,
Johnson, Nixon and Ford had
previously been Vice Presidents.
Senator Hubert Humphrey was
nominated for President after
belng the Vice President.

Important Responsibility
This is a fact that the Repub-

Means, and particularly President
Ford, since he is the likely can-
didate, ought to bear in mind,
Apart from nominating a candi-
date for President, the nomina-
tion of the candidate for Vice
President is the most important
responsibility of the delegates.
They should no longer be ex-
pected to act as robots in exer-
cising that responsibility.

Instead, the Republicans
could make a singular contri-
bution to the democratic process
by permitting the delegates to
choose the candidate for Vice
President from among those
whom the candidate for Presi-
dent finds compatible with his
views

Questions & Answers

Q. I'm 69 and I'm considering
applying for supplemental secur-
ity income payments. The money
I have saved from my husband's
life insurance is just about gone
and I have no other income, Will
1 have to spend all of the money
from my savings account to get
payments?

A. Not necessarily, Your eligi-
bility for supplemental security
income will depend on whether
your resources, including your
savings, amount to $1,500 or
more. If you are eligible, the in-
terest on your savings may af-
fect the amount of your supple-
mental security income pay-
ments. Call or write any social
security offite for more infor-
mation.

Q. I'm getting social security
student benefits and have a
chance to earn $500 a month on
a@ job this summer, I'll make
$1,500, Will I still get my social
security benefits?

A. If you have no other earn-
ings in 1976, there's nothing to
worry about because you can
earn up to $2,760 this year and
still get all of your benefits. If
your annual earnings exceed
$2,760, $1 in benefits will be
withheld for each §2 earned
above that amount, No matter
how much you earn fon the
year, however, you can still get a
eheck for any month your wages
didn’t go over $230 and you
don't do substantial work in your
own business.

” Stratton Favors
Cost-Of-Living

GLENS FALLS

Congressman Samuel

Stratton told

public employees here that government has to make com-
pensation to its workers to help them survive the effects

of inflation

“If we are going to prohibit
the men and women who run our
form of government from strik-
ing, then we have to make com-
pensation to help them survive
the cost-of-living that is eating

away their take-home pay,” he
said
The Schenectady Democrat

was principal speaker at the din-
ner that highlighted the week-
end workshop, last month, of the
Civil Service Employees Assn.’s
Albany Region IV at the Shera-
ton Inn here.

He sald thet at the state level,
and possibly at the federal level
too, employees should have thel
salaries adjusted to take
account the cost-of-living

into

‘Bureaucracy ls supposed to be
a dirty word,” he sald. “All of
us who are engaged in govern-
ment, especially you who do the
day-to-day work, should resent
the public misconception of civil
servants.

“Work, fight, give to make
democracy live. That's what you
people are doing.”

Nedaai: CSEA
Membership
Soars Higher

ALBANY — The Nassau
County chapter, Civil Service
Employees Assn., has reached
a new high of almost 23,000
members, according to the latest
tally of the CSEA’s computerized
membership records.

‘The chapter, which has long
been the largest in the statewide
organization, has grown steadily
throughout the 28 years since its
founding in 1948.

Continued growth this year, in
spite of job freezes by many em-
ployers, was attributed by Irv-
ing Flaumenbaum, chapter pres-
ident, to a “spirit of unity”
among civil service employees in
the county, towns, villages,
school districts and other local
governmental units represented
by the chapter.

“Many people who, in the past,
have accepted the gains that the
CSEA has negotiated without be-
coming members now realize
that they can help themselves
ind their fellow employees re-
sist the current attacks on the
civil service by becoming CSEA
members,” Mr. Flaumenbaum
said.

“We welcome them into mem-
bership. Together we are grow-
ing stronger,” Mr. Flaumenbaum
asserted,

Job Title Changed

ALBANY—The State Civil
Service Commission is

hygiene assistant therapy

lide trainee. The requirements
for the $7,204 job, for which
the commission continuously ac-

SHORT TAKES

ALIEN LAW STRUCK DOWN

Three federal judges, sitting in Manhattan, recently struck
down a state law that barred aliens from teaching in public schools
unless they had applied for citizenship as unconstitutional. The
Federal District Court decision said the law “seems repugnant” to
and noted in the particular case which trig-
, “Tt is undisputed that, in both cases, the denial
of certification (to teach) has borne no relation to plaintiff's general
character or qualifications, but, rather, is solely the product of their
status as nonapplicant aliens.” The decision stems from suits brought
by Susan M. W. Norwick, a Scot, and Targa U. K. Dachinger, a Pinn.
The state had claimed in its suit that New York has a “compelling
interest” to Insure that public school teachers were qualified by pro-
fession and example to transmit the American heritage to students.

HIRING GOAL NEAR

Onondaga County Is approaching its previously set goal of hiring
6 percent minority group public employees, according to the county
affirmative action officer. However, the official, Kathleen J. Howard,
said the county's next goal, that of hiring minority group members
and women to hold skilled or managerial posts, is expected to be
more difficult, Presently, minority groups constitute 5.59 percent of
the Onondaga County 4,000-person workforce. Overall, members of
minority groups make up about 5.8 percent of the total Onondaga
workforce. Approximately 58 percent of the county workforce is
female although women constitute only around 49 percent of the
total Onondaga workforce.

LEGISLATOR PENSIONS

A bill signed recently by Gov. Hugh L. Carey restarts the
state legislature's pension program that was cancelled in 1973.
The item was part of a proposal which extended current public
employee pension benefits for a year. It allows anyone eligible for
any of the old pension plans closed by the legislature in 1973 to
sign up anytime from now to the end of the year.

MANHATTAN — If mem-
bers of an assembly believe
@ particular main motion
should not come before the
entire assembly, they may make
an objection to the Considera-
tion of a Question—thus void-
ing the motion altogether.

‘The objection motion is sim-
flar to a point of order, in that
the presiding officer, on his own
initiative, can submit his objec-
thon of this kind to a vote, just
as he can raise a question of
order on his own accord.

Tt is important, however, to
distinguish between occasions in
which an objection to the con-
sideration of a question and a
point of order are used.

An objection to the considera-
tion of a question is not used if
a main motion is outside the or-
ganization’s objects as defined in
the bylaws or constitution, It is
also mot used outside the an-

out of order.

If an objection ts sustained,
the main motion is dismissed for
that session and cannot be re-
newed during the same session

as there was under similar con-
ditions in 1971."

“After 43 persons, including a
number of our members, lost
their lives, Attica’s Inmate popu-
lation was reduced to 1,200 in a
matter of days,” sald Mr. Becker,

facility personnel. These include
about 100 counselors, teachers
‘and medical personne! perform-
ing some security functions who
work within the walls of the
maximum security facility.

“Despite the recent inmate
flare-up, which resulted in in-
Juries to correction officers and
an inmate, and despite the
unanimous agreement by all
authorities that Attica is over-
crowded, nothing is being done,”
Mr. Becker continued.

Mr. Becker declined to draw
Parallels between conditions in
1971 und the present because he
was not at Attica then. Never-
theless, he explained that the
current overcrowding is worse
because the population exceeds
2,000 in less space than that
which the McKay Commission
said was adequate for no more
than 1,250 inmates. Space uvail-
able in 1971 has been reduced by
remodeling now under way in
250 cells.

He said the situation is fur-
ther aggravated by the presence
of more than 150 psychotic or
severely retarded inmates, some
of whom were transferred to At-
tica from the specialized facil-
ities at Matteawan and Fishkill

“There are no care programs
for those inmates here. Their
idle presence, particularly in
celiblock D, where the July 11
disturbance and the 1971 riot
took place, aggravates other in-
mates and causes frustration for
correotional facility stuff,” Mr.
Becker explained.

He added the overcrowding
causes inefficient use of pro-
grams for inmates, “and is
counter productive to the reha-
bilitation aims of the correc-
tional system.

“When the inmates have to
stand around for hours waiting
to ext, waiting to get a hair cut,
waiting to see a doctor—waiting,
waiting and waiting—it's going
to be frustrating to them and
this frustration ts going to rub
off on the guards, instructors
and others.”

Programs for the inmates
have been reduced to such an
extent, he said, that class time
‘available for those enrolled in
many education programs has
been reduced by more than one
third.

“Where we formerly had the
students in the classroom at 8:10
a.m., now it’s more likely to be
9:20 am, before they're here,”
said Mr. Becker.

“This is frustrating to us as
education staff because we know

BANQUET CATERING
Yoel Eisen 518-584-3000

the programs are working just
by listening to the animated dis-
cussions among classmates long
after they've left the classrooms,”
Mr. Becker said.

“It makes no sense to increase
the availability of programs,
commit the funding, find suc-
cess and then abort the whole

thing by overcrowding. It's frus-
tration that leads to aggrava-

Mr. Becker said there were
fewer than 10 persons on the
prison’s education staff in 1971.
Now there are 56.

Rockland’s Unit Meets To Plan
Representation Vote Strategy

NEW CITY—The Rockland County unit, Civil Service Employees Assn., held an open
meeting July 21 to discuss a representational challenge election mounted by the Service
Employees International Union, AFL-CIO.

Patsy Spicci, unit president, said, “I am sure there were many questions in the

minds of our members as to the
status of our negotiations and
the representational challenge by
SEIU. The meeting provided an
opportunity for these questions
to be answered and for an ex-
change of ideas and strategy.”

The county workers have been
without a contract since Jan. 1
In early May, the CSEA mem-
bers, in a three-to-one vote, re-
Jected a county offer to pay
increments and a flat $150 to
workers not eligible for the in-
crement.

Doris Pesner, in the discus-
sions, said CSEA won over SEIU
in Sullivan County “and that’s
& good sign. Let's determine
what we have to do in Rockland
and do it. We will do what our
leaders tell us but they must tell
us.” Applause followed this re-
mark.

Larry Scanlon, CSEA field rep-
resentative, said, "In all can-
dor, the situation in Rockland
bids fair to come down to a
‘push-and-shove' situation and
the Taylor Law does recognize
‘extreme provocation.’ "

Remarks were made to the ef-
fect that the legislators should
realize that the situation may
develop into a “hot war,” John
Mauro, Rockland chapter presi-
dent, said to the meeting: "You
are CSEA. You must get to your
co-workers and keep them in-
formed.”

Some members of the units
said that, because of the CSEA's
immediate preoccupation with
challenges elsewhere in the Re-
gion and the state, Rockland
County was being short-changed
and was not getting its fair share
of staff help,

Ms, Pesner moved that a
strong appeal in the form of .a
letter be made to CSEA Albany
Headquarters for more assist-
ance and more field staff.

“They should realize that we're
in a crisis,” she declared. The
motion was passed unanimously
The members also voted to dem-
onstrate Tuesday, Aug. 17, the

occasion of the
legislative meeting

Marion Aicher, chapter politi-
cal action committee chairman,
made an appeal for more mem-
bers to serve on her committee,

“We've got to let the legis-
lators know that we're inter-
ested in them and where they
stand,” she said. The next com-
mittee meeting will be held
Tuesday, Aug. 3, at chapter head-
quarters, New City.

Patsy Spiccl, Rockland unit
president and a chapter vice-
president, made reference to the
membership drive currently un-
der way by CSEA and reminded
members they would receive $5
for each new member they
recruit.

Meanwhile, a court order re-
straining the county from begin-
ing its furlough plan has been
extended for at least two weeks.

Larry Scanlon, CSEA field rep-
resentative, called the offer “ri-
diculous” and proposed that the
county join the CSEA in submit-
ting the issues to arbitration,
The union is seeking regular in-
crements plus a 5 percent salary
increase or $500, whichever ts
higher.

‘The offer to arbitrate was not
picked up by the county legis-
lators who apparently seem to
prefer a legislative hearing. Un-
der the Taylor Law, this would
give them the opportunity to
impose a one-year settlement.

The county and the CSEA were
subsequently ordered by the
Public Employment Relations
Board to submit their proposals
to @ fact-finder by June 25. This
was done and a PERB decision
should be forthcoming shortly.

‘The CSEA, meanwhile, was
challenged by. the SEIU for
employee representation. Pive

days of hearings on unit determ-
ination have recently been con-
cluded before a PERB hearing
examiner, The parties involved
have been asked to submit briefs
by July 30.

Mr. Spicci charged that the
SEIU broke its pledge to Rock-
land County employees when, in
an open letter, the union pro-
mised “to postpone any SEIU,
CSEA election until after the
contract is settled.”

County Board To Cancel
Private Contracting Plans

GENESEO—The Civil Service Employees Assn. scored a
victory for employees of Livingston County by defeating a
proposal by the County to contract out for food services at

the infirmary.

CSEA collective bargaining spe-
cialist Gary Johnson said that
last fall, a committee of the Liv-
ingston County Board of Super-
visors advertised for bids for the
contracting out of the infirm-
ary’s food service department,
formerly staffed by county em-
ployees.

Mr. Johnson said that by De-
cember, the County had received
one bid from a private food serv-
fee company outlining costs for
running the infirmary operation.

‘The CSEA negotiator said that
the union obtained a copy of
the cost figures and after sev-
eral weeks of analyzing the costs
of contracting out, compared
with the cost to the county for
running its own food service,
the CSEA determined that the
private contractor would not save
the county any money.

Mr. Johnson, accompanied by
James Murray, Livingston chap-
ter president, and several other
food service workers, attended a
special meeting of the Board of
Supervisors and presented them
with figures supporting their de-
termination.

Then, according to the CSEA
representative, after several more
weeks of studying additional sta-
tistics from other contractors
and “counter statistics” from the
CSEA, the Board of Supervisors
voted to reject the food service
contractor's bid and to continue
to operate its own service, staffed
by county employees.

the vast majority of the em-
ployees are strongly behind the
CSEA and Its efforts at the bar-
gaining table,” she said after the
victory.

Ms. Gray, who had sent iet-
ters to all Thruway employees
during the campaign, capped off
the win by sending a thank you
message to every worker

“Your CSEA negotiators have
just gotten a big vote of confi-
dence, and you can bet your life
the Thruway management knows
it,” she wrote. “Let's tuke ad-
vantage of this and use every
opportunity to show that we're
all united for the big, common
objective—a good, new contract.”

The CSEA win was the latest
of several challenges from the
SETU that the CSEA has turned
back successfully, including a
number among Thruway work-
ers. It preceded by one day a
win by the CSEA over the SEIU
to retain representation rights
for Sullivan County employees.

CSEA president Theodore C
Wena! issued a “thank you and
well done" message to all CSEA
staff, chapter officers and mem-
bers who worked on the success-
ful campaigns.

‘Two major wins in two days

is something everyone can be
proud of, especially the em-
ployees themselves who made

good use of the democratic pro-
cess by electing to carry on their
fight for fairness and justice in
labor-management relations un-
der the guidance of CSEA,” he
