Rival Union’s Use Of CSEA Symbol Unauthorized

ALBANY—A State Supreme Court justice has
granted a temporary restraining order sought
by the Civil Service Employees Assn. which pre-
vents a rival union, AFSCME, from using “in
any form whatsoever, the service mark ‘'CSEA’
or any copies or colorable simulations thereof
without the consent of CSEA i

Supreme Court Justice John H. Pennock is-

sued the restraining order on Sept, 4 and ordered
AFSCME to show cause in Supreme Court on
Sept. 11 why a permanent restraining order
should not be issued. CSEA Attorney Marjorie E.
Karowe represented CSEA in the successful) court
action, contending that use of the CSEA service
mark (logo) by AFSCME was a violation of the
State's General Business Law and caused irre-
parable damage to CSEA by misleading public

employees into believing CSEA supported an
affiliation effort being conducted by the rival
union

The court action was instituted by CSEA after
AFSCME used the CSEA logo illegally on affilia-
tion literature AFSCME has been sending and
distributing to CSEA leaders and members
throughout the State.

PROTESTS MOUNT
Z| AGAINST RAIDING
PENSION FUNDS

I wish to draw your attention to a very serious situation that constitutes
a direct threat to you and your union, I am referring to the two-pronged assault
by rival labor organizations seeking representation rights for public workers now
held by CSEA, One is the direct challenge effort against CSEA by a group of
unions seeking to represent State employees. We have overcome such chal-
lenges many times in the past and wil) emerge victorious this time as well.

The second attack against you and your union is, in many ways, much
more insidious than the direct challenge approach. I am referring to the current
effort by a long time enemy of CSEA, the American Federation of State, Coun-
ty and Municipal Employees (AFSCME), to achieve an affiliation between CSEA
and themselves

Although both groups have chosen different tactics in their efforts to
make inroads in CSEA’s representation rights, both have the same basic plan
and the same basic objective in mind. Both are trying to divide and conquer
the membership enroute to destroying CSEA and the concept of an inde-
pendent and democratic labor union for public employees in New York State.

The subject of possible affiliation by CSEA has been thoroughly investi-
gated over several years by a special CSEA committee concerned with develop-
ing the future expansion of our union. It may well be that at some future time
affiliation with another major labor union will prove advantageous and bene-
cial to the public employees we represent, But this is not the case at the pre-
sent time, and there Is no official sentiment toward affiliation with AFSCME or
any other union now. Therefore, it is our position that we are opposed to the
current effort by AFSCME seeking an affiliation. As further evidence of our
opposition, I want you to know that our lawyers have instituted legal action
to prevent AFSCME from any further misuse of CSEA’s official logo (service
mark). The wrongful use by them of CSEA’s logo on material mailed to CSEA
leaders and members recently gives the misleading impression that CSEA some-
how supports their affiliation effort.

There are practical reasons for rejecting affiliation now, The democracy
that sets CSEA apart from the boss-run labor unions would be lost. Rank-and-
file control of local chapters would be jeopardized from international headquar-
ters In far off Washington, AFSCME, I believe, would insist on firm control of
the merged unions and the loss of local control by the members would be too
great a sacrifice to consider. From a financial viewpoint, APSCME would assess
each CSEA member about $26 a year in additional dues initially. That adds up
to $6 million a year of your money in their international treasury with nothing
in return that you do not already have

Affiliation at this time would achieve nothing and cost you much. Unity
and independence with CSEA remains the most logical route to success in the
future, as it has been in the past

Fraternally yours,

THEODORE C. WENZL
President

ALBANY—A blistering wave of protests sponsored by
the Civil Service Employees Assn. greeted New York State
legislators both before and after their arrival in Albany
late last week to begin a special legislative session over

what CSEA president Theodore
C. Wenzi labeled “an extravagant
scheme” to use state funds “to
bail New York City out of its
self-induced insolvency,”

At Leader presstime the legis-
lators were still wrangling over
the {issue and final legislative
action was not expected until
this week.

CSEA has expressed violent op-
Position to the plan, especially
that portion calling for the in-
vestment of an additional $125
million from the Employees’ Re-
tirement System pension funds.
Dating back to mid-August, when

State Comptroller Arthur Levitt |

dipped into the pension funds
for $25 million, Dr. Wenzl has
fired off numerous letters of pro-
test directly to Mr. Levitt, each
time reinforcing CSBA's opposi-
tion to any further raiding of the
retirement system funds.

‘The tempo of protest increased
early last week when the special
legislative session was announced,
with Dr. Wensl sending tele-
grams to legislative leaders Sena-
tor Warren Anderson and As-
semblyman Stanley Steingut. The
CSEA telegrams stated “the un-
alterable opposition of the Civil
Service Employees Association”
to the investment of any pension
funds in Municipal Assistance

Corporation (MAC) bonds and
said “raiding of these pension
funds for this purpose will be
viewed as a distinct threat to the
retirement security of over 300,-
000 public employees in New
York State represented by
CSEA.”

CSEAers Asked To Honor
All Contracts In Strikes
By Albany Area Teachers

ALBANY—In the event of
teacher strikes in Albany-
area school districts, non-
instructional employees at
such districts who are members
of the Civil Service Employees
Assn. have been asked to honor
their contracts and to report to
work

Joseph E. McDermott, presi-
dent of CSEA's Albany Region
IV, in a letter sent to presidents
of CSEA school district organi-
zations, pointed out that the
teachers’ union, the New York
State Teachers, is one of sev-
eral unions which have joined a
recently formed entity called the
Public Employees Federation.
That organization is currently
attempting to challenge CSEA as
an employees’ bargaining unit

"We will have absolutely no
dealings with them because of
this," the Region IV president
declared as he urged CSEAers
to honor teacher picket lines,

McGowan Attacks Raises Given
To ‘Political Plum’ Job Holders

ORCHARD PARK—William L. McGowan, executive vice-president of the Civil Service
Employees Assn., commended the daily press “for bringing the facts to light" while charg-
ing Gov. Hugh L. Carey and state legislators “are compounding the arrogance of official-
dom, so glaringly flaunted at Watergate, by trying to cloak

they gave holders of no-show
and part-time political plum
Jobs.

“They gave their vassals, the
state workers who do the day-
to-day work of the state, a $250
bonus, but in the dark of night
grabbed for themselves lulus of
up to $21,500, Now we find mini~
mum increases of 3.5 percent for
the political pay-offs on their
payrolls,” Mr, McGowan said
“Then they have the nerve to
try to pass this off as only fair
to achieve parity.

“Is it fair that the vast ma-
jority, about 60 percent, of state
workers, who must put in a full
year to earn $7,000, should get
$170-$180 after deductions of the
$250 bonus, while the part-time
politicians like Martha Aronoff
executive assistant to Assembly
Majority Leader Albert Blumen-
thal, gets @ raise of $7,600 be-
cause her previous pay was only
$30,000 per year?” Mr, MeGowan
asked.

“Is it fair that full-time state
workers are forced by the Gov-

ernor and the Legislature to take
the bonus while the politielans’

increases are increases in their
base salaries, which certainly
won't be redueed next your?

“If this is fair, or if this is
parity, then I don't understand
political lingo,” Mr, McGowan
continued. “To me it's double-
talk. To me such explanations by
officials are nothing but arro-
gance. They probably hoped that
their actions would elude public
serutiny.””

“Thank God for reporters who
dig for facts and for newspapers
who print them, and are not
confused by officials’ les,

“The daily press is to be com-
mended for pointing out that

with respectability the raises

state employees got a one-shot
$250, which does not become a
part of their base salary next
year

“The press should also be coin-
mended for pointing out that a
minority of state workers also
were granted ‘increments,’ which
are experience payments they
were led to believe they would
get at their time of hire. These
increments, when added to the
bonus, would increase the state
workers’ payroll by 3.5 percent.

&@ $40-a-day in reimbursable ex-
penses, The julus ranged from
$1,000 to $21,000.

Article III, Section 6 of the
New York State Constitution
states:

“Any member, while serving as
an officer of this house or in
any other special capacity therein
or directly connected therewith
not hereinbefore specified, may
also be paid and receive, in ad-
dition, any allowance which may
be fixed by law for the particu-
lar and additional services ap-
pertaining to or entailed by such
office or special capacity. Neither
the salary of any member nor
any other allowance so fixed may
be increased or diminished dur-
ing, and with respect to, the term
for which he shall have been
elected, nor shall he be paid or
receive any other extra compen-
sation.”

The union feels that the leg-
islators’ vote did two things ex-
pressly forbidden by this part of
the New York State Constitution.
First, it gave the legislators big~
ger lulus than they got in 1974;
and second, it gave lulus for Sen-
ate and Assembly positions for
which no julus were even au-
thorized in 1974.

‘The union, in addition to ask-
ing that the Julus be declared
unconstitutional, is also asking
that Mr. Levitt be prevented from
paying them or, if some of the
legislators have already been
paid, that Mr. Levitt be directed
to get the money back, by taking
it out of the legislators’ future
checks.

The lulus are particularly out-
rageous in the view of the 150,000
state employees represented by
CSEA because the same legisla-
tors who voted themselves the
increases in lulus also voted the
workers, instead of a raise, a
one-shot $250 “bonus” payment,

‘The Supreme Court justice who
hears the case will probably not
jasue his decision for a few weeks
after the Sept, 26 date, according
to CSEA attorney James Roemer

Protest March At Copiague;
Allege Pact Delaying Tactics

COPIAGUE—More than 60 Civil Service Employees Assn, Suffolk Educational chap-
ter members and leaders marched, chanted and carried placards protesting alleged slow-
down tactics by negotiators of the Copiague School District before a school board meeting
at the Junior High School there last week.

After parading in front of the

school for an hour, members
packed the board room and de-
manded that what they termed
foot-dragging by school contract
negotiators be discussed openly
at the meeting, Frank Piccione,
Copiague School Board president,
refused to discuss the issue, how-

‘The three units of the Copl-

working without a contract since

“The school board negotiator
is trying to eliminate the past
practices clause and get rid of
the guaranteed work force so
that he can eliminate jobs and
double productivity pressures on
our members. Also. he wants to
contract out custodial work,”

Counselors Cut Off

NE of the risks in being promoted up the ladder of civil

service is that the rungs might be cut off under you.

Last week, guidance counselors in New York City felt
the shock of being left dangling in mid-air with no support
beneath them, Approximately 50 percent of the City’s coun-
selors were given notice that they were being dismissed,
and should not report for work the following week.

Although The Leader has been reporting on the de-
veloping situation with guidance counselors for months,
everyone seems to have been caught off guard by the mass
firings. Even the union, the United Federation of Teachers,
is in a quandary about how to réact to the problem.

The crux of the guidance counselors’ dilemma, and
that of assistant principals and supervisors as well, is that
they cannot bump a regular classroom teacher, regardless
of the number of years of service to the Board of Education.

For example, one guidance counselor with 22 years of
classroom experience has been laid off because she has been
working for the past 5 years as a counselor.

The law, as currently constituted, though, conftaers
seniority based on a teacher's current job, although rehiring
is based on total length of service in the school system,

The complication here is that guidance counselors, etc.,
would be rehired at the salary they received at the time of
their dismissal—and that amounts to about $900 a year
more. Consequently, in a tight fiscal crunch, they stand
less chance of being rehired than would an ordinary teacher.

While there are plans and rumors of plans to institute
court cases and special sessions of the State Legislature to
deal with the predicament, the matter now stands that
approximately 600 guidance counselors are jobless—with
the barest prior notification.

At the moment, they are being told by the UFT that
there is nothing that can be done about the situation.

In the meantime, hundreds of guidance counselors, who
had to demonstrate years of competency in teaching before
they qualified for their counselor's license, have now been
denied the right to return to the classroom.

The guidance counselors point out that all departments
within the City have suffered cuts—but in all other cases,
the newest people were the first to go. They say that only
the Board of Education has fired veterans with 20 to 30
years of service with no notice and no benefits.

Hands Off Pensions

E fully sympathize with the plight of New York City,
but we cannot condone a solution that will only lead
to further complication of the problem.

Raiding the State Retirement System in order to bail
out the City jeopardizes the security of all current and future
retirees. It is the same sort of financial gimmickry that
has led New York City to the brink of disaster,

‘The idea that the State should consider following the
City to the same brink boggles the mind.

protested vigorously against such
use of State pension funds when
the idea was first broached,

A similar position has also
been taken by State Comptroller
Arthur Levitt, who {s principally
responsible for the investment
policies of state pension funds.
However, he has been placed un-
der intense pressure to invest
pension moneys in bonds of the
Municipal Assistance Corpora-
tion, to pick up the slack when
institutional and private inves-
tors shunned the Big Mac se-
curities,

Security For Bonds

As a practical matter there is
nothing wrong with Big Mac
bonds, As it was established un-
der the law, Big Mac may not
issue more than $3 billion dollars
worth of securities. Security for
the bonds is a 4 percent sales
tax levied in New York City and
the stock transfer tax. Both of
these taxes are administered by
the State Tux Commission and
not the City of New York, and
the revenues they generate
amount to approximately one
Dillion dollars a year,

Very few bonds have so favor-
able a balance as between total
borrowing and annual revenues.
As a further protection to pur-
clisers of Big Mac bonds, the
borrowing capacity of Big Mac
may not be increased above $3
billion without the consent of at
jeast two-thirds of the initial
bond holders.

Despite the excellent security
that supports these bonds, inves-
tors have been apprehensive be-
cause in their minds Big Mac Is
inextricably tied up with the
fate of the City. Thus, to the
extent that there is mounting
fear that the City will either de-
fault on its own obligations or
will go into bankruptey, the in-
vesting public refuses to touch
the Big Mac bonds. This factor
has made Big Mac bonds @ vola-
tile security whose price goes up
and down on the market.

However, the critical issue is
not whether Big Mac bonds are
& prudent investment for public
employee pension funds. The real
issue is whether it is appropriate
to invest employee pension funds
in the securities of the employer,
Both Comptroller Levitt and
CSEA have taken firm positions
that such investments are nei-
ther &ppropriate nor prudent,

‘This view is fortified by ex-
tensive studies of private pen-
sion funds made two years ago
by a United States Senate Com-
mittee headed by Senators Har-
rison A. Williams of New Jersey
and Senator Jacob K. Javits.
These studies revealed that this
practice is fraught with disaster
for the pension funds, for those
on retirement, and for employees
looking forward to retirement.
As & consequence of many such
investments, private pension
funds in many instances went
broke, with retired employees
and those looking forward to re-
tirement benefits left holding an
empty bag.

Severe Limitations

As @ result of the findings of
the Senate Committee, Congress
enacted the Employee Retire-
ment Security Act of 1974, which
imposes severe limitation upon
the investment of private em-
ployee pension funds in the se-
curities of the employer, There
is no reason why public employ~
fea are less deserving of similar

Dental Plan Authority

On July 2, 1974, the City of Camden, NJ. entered into
two collective bargaining agreements with labor unions rep-
resenting civil service employees. Each agreement provided
that the City would adopt a dental plan for City employees
effective July 1, 1974. On July 18, the City Council adopted
@ resolution authorizing the City Business Administrator
to enter into a contract for dental services covering City
employees. In August of that same year, the City Council
adopted another resolution which rescinded the July 18
resolution and discontinued the dental plan services.

A LAWSUIT was commenced by the unions Involved. @
The City answered, relying on the theory that since there
js no statutory authority for the agreement to provide a
dental plan, then the agreement is ultra vires, Motions were
made by both sides for summary judgment and the court
rendered its opinion,

THE CITY conceded that the services or benefits re-~
ceived by the employees are other forms of compensation
or additional compensation which the City is expressly
authorized to fix by statute as a term and condition of
employment. The court held that the provision of dental
services is expressly authorized by statute. The diagnosis
and treatment and care of human teeth, said the court,
may be considered as including and forming part of medical, e
surgical or health coverage which the City was specifically
allowed to contract for. The court went on to say, however,
that even if this was not the case, the providing of dental
services would be authorized under the statutes which auth-
orize the fixing of compensation of municipal employees,
since the payment of money for dental health protection
is no different from the payment of money for salaries.

THE COURT pointed out that the Legislature has not
restricted the municipalities power to provide dental ser-
vice, “In the absence of an express Legislative restriction
against bargaining for that benefit of employment, the
authority to provide those benefits resides in the muni-
cipality under the broad powers and duties delegated ve
the statutes. Were it otherwise, a municipality would not
be able to bargain collectively and to make arrangements
concerning terms of employment with its employees unless
specific statutory authority for each provision of the agree-
ment existed." The court cited the Huntington Teachers’
case from the New York Appellate Division in support of
this decision.
protection.

As a practical matter, some of
the problems that now confront
the Clty of New York derive
from the fact that the City has
repeatedly tapped pension fund
resources, or delayed making re-
quired contributions to the pen-
sion funds in order to balance
its budgets. If the City had been
unable to tap these funds, it
would have been obliged to take

affirmative action to keep ite
budget in balance without resort
to fiscal gimmickry—which ap-
parently has finally run ite
course.

There is no doubt about the
precarious fiscal situation in
which the City finds itself, How-@
ever, the solution to those prob-
tems should not involve tam-
ering with the pension security
of state employees.
Official Cites Improper Act Developments

(Editor’s note: The following
is extracted from s recent issue
of the New York State Public

Since my last PERB News
article on the subject, there
have been several significant
developments in my areas of
responsibility with PERB, le,
improper practices and repre-
sentation, Most notable of these
are an amendment to the Rules
of Procedure relating to the time
for filing a representation pett-
tion when a negotiated agree-
ment has expired and no sue-
cessor agreement has been reach-
ed; PERB'’s first decision setting
aside a representation election;
two determinations regarding the
fragmentation of an overall ne-
gotlating unit having an exten-
sive negotiating history, and two
far-reaching decisions on the
scope of negotiations,

Rule On Timing Of
Representation Petition

In an article published in the
April 1978 edition of PERB News,
I set forth my opinion as to when
® petition for certification or
decertification could be filed
after the expiration of a nego-
tiated agreement with no suc-
cessor agreement having been
reached, I stated:

“If, upon the expiration of the
contract, negotiations are still
deadlocked, the resultant unrest
would be greatly exacerbated by
permitting ebther of the parties
to the continuing negotiations or
an outside employee organiza-
tion to immediately commence
@ representation proceeding.”

I then suggested that by pro-
viding an additional “protected
period” of four months beyond
the contract expiration date, the
Parties would have the oppor-
tunity to continue the good faith
negotiating process for a time
within which experience shows
agreement is usually reached,
Such a four-month extension of
the unchallenged representation
period would also permit the fil-
ing of a petition during the
month in which representation
questions can normally be raised.

‘The Board, by its decision in
In The Matter of The New York
State Thruway Authority 7 PERB
3071 (1974) and the addition to
the new 201.3(e) to the Rules
of Procedure has now formalized
this approach. The new rule, in
essence, only permits the filing
of a petition 120 days subsequent
to the expiration of an agree-
ment, and thereafter until a new
agreement tx reached.

Such a petition may be filed
only by an “outside” employee
organization so that neither par-
ty to the on-going negotiations
can use the threat of a repre-
sentation challenge as a tactical
club at the negotiating table.
For example, if a schoo! district
contract were to expire on June
30 with no successor contract
having been negotiated, the par-
tes to the negotiation would
still be immune from challenge
until the following November
when an “outside” employee or-
ganization could file a petition
if a new contract had still not
been executed. If a new agree-
ment had been reached prior to
the expiration of the 120-day
period, the petition would be
barred by the ordinary applica
tion of the “contract bar” rule.

What will constitute a “con-
tract bar’ wag the issue before
me in In The Matter of Farm-
ingdale Union Free School Dis-
triet 7 PERB 4064 (1974), In
that case, I held that the par-
ties’ written acceptance of a
fact-finder's report, as evidenced
by an exchange of letters, cou-
pled with the employer's pay-
ment of the agreed-upon salary
increase, did not constitute a
bar to a petition filed two days
before a final agreement con-
taining all the terms and con-
diditions of employment was
signed. In reaching this conclu-
sion, I adopted the standards

th) (2) of the Rules of Proced-

elections are worthy of discus-
sion. In In The Matter of County
of Ulster 7 PERB 3072 (1974),

eleotion, It hei that an em-
ployer need not provide a list
of employees’ addresses to com-
peting employee organizations
and that supervisory employees
may express thelr opinion, in
the form of wearing campaign
buttons, if done in a non-coer-
cive manner, The Board also
disapproved of the practice of
distributing altered facsimiles of
PERB sample ballots, although {t
did not set aside the election on
that basis.

In an Interim decision, In The
Matter of County of Orange 7
PERB 7036 (1974), the Board
stated that absent arbitrariness
on the Director's part, it would
not interfere with his discretion
in scheduling an election, with
or without the consent of the
parties. It should be pointed out
that i was—and still ie—my
practice to schedule an election
on a date agreeable to all par-
ties, whenever possible. In the
final decision in Orange 7 PERB
311 (1974), the Board, after a
hearing on unresolved factual
questions, determined thet a sin-
gle Isolated failure by an em-
ployer to post a Notice of Elec-
tion at one site was, under the
circumstances, de minimus and
did not justify setting the elec-
tion aside. However, the Board
did find that the employer, al-
beit unwittingly, dented the chal-
lenging organization the same
access to Ms premises that it
had granted to the Incumbent
organization, This denial, the
Board held, “may have deprived
employees of free choice in
electing an employee organiza-
tion to represent them and we,
therefore, conclude that a new
election is necessary."

As clearly established in
Orange, during an election cam-
paign an employer must make
every effort to allow competing
organizations equal access to its
employees, The employer must
also jnsure that the official No-
luce of Election is timely posted

ditions and funetions and were
exposed to the same hazards, spe-
elal concerns had in fact cre-
ated no conflicts at the nego-
tating table, as evidenced by
the Inclusion of several provi-
sions pertaining to these special
DPW interests in the negotiated
agreements. In my opinon, this
history of effective and mean-
ingful negotiations by and on
behalf of the DPW employees {l-
lustrated an absence of conflict
of jnterest with others in the
overall unit and overrode their
apparent community of interest
and the eleventh-hour change
by the employer to a position
favoring fragmentation on the
basis of administrative convent-
ence. I saw no reason to devi-
ate from the Board's policy of
avoiding fragmentation except
where significant conflicts of in-
terest could or would preclude

In reversing, Board members
Crowley and Denson held that
the employer's position favoring
fragmentation outweighed the
factor of negotiating history
given the facts of the case which
established a unique community
of interest among DPW em-
ployees. This case is presently
being appealed in the courts,

A “history of meaningful and
effective negotiations” was also

considered in In The Matter of
‘Town of Smithtown 7 PERB 4076
(1974). Here, the petitioner
sought the separation of @ unit
of blue-collar employees from an
overall unit of blue- and white-

between the blue- and white-col-
lar employees and the common-

ring,” when combined with the

tion of a separate blue-collar unit
arisen as the result of an initial
request for representation, I have
little doubt that the separate
unit would have been found ap-
propriate under existing Board
law, However, the facts of the
case apparently {llustrated that
the potential for conflict had
never been realized and the di-
vergent interests had been rec-
ognized, and satisfied, in the
negotiated agreement. This de-
cision has just been affirmed by
the Board in as 2-1 decision.

CIVIL SERVICE LEADER, Tuesday, September 9, 1975

‘Breach Of Faith’ Charged
By Adam DC Union Leader

PERRYSBURG—A Civil Service Employees Assn. leader charged a state official with
“a breach of faith with parents and personne!” of the J, N. Adam Developmental Center
here and the center's director of medical services said he was “dismayed by the high-handed
manner” in which state legislators and officials conducted themselves on an unannounced

tour of the center recently

“There's the difference be-
tween promise and perform-
ance,” said Frances Arrigo,
president of the CSEA chapter
at the center, recalling promises
made to both parents and per-
sonnel that they would be “in-
formed and involved” in
phases of a proposal to close
the Perrysburg facility and move
the retarded patients to a facility
at Gowanda

Ms. Arrigo said the promises
were made by Stanley Platman
regional director of the state
Menta! Hygiene Department. Dr
Platman conducted the tour of
Assemblymen Daniel B. Walsh,
Franklinville; James W. Me-
Cabe, Johnson City, and John C.
Dearie, the Bronx. The three are
Democrats.

Avoided Staff

“You'd think they were in-
pecting cattle barns instead of
what has become a home and a
center of security for humins
who need care and love," Ms.
Arrigo sald. She criticized what
she termed “the total avoidance
of staff," which extended even
to an omission, on the part of
tour participants, of introducing

themselves as they entered
wards.

The tour, which followed a
one-and-a-half hour meeting

from which staff at the Center
were excluded, was conducted by
Enid Ethridge, a program analyst
with the Mental Hygiene De-
partment. It included, besides
the Assemblymen and Dr. Plat-
man, James Lockwood and Susan
Surft, whose affiliations could
not be immediately determined
and Theodore A. Bravos, deputy
director of the Wilton Develop-
mental Center in Saratoga
County. He is rumored to be a
replacement for John Gibbon,
Adam DC director, who began un
extended leave of absence re-
cently.

Metin Bedizel, chief of medical
services at the center, said he
was “dismayed by the high-
handed manner" of the legisia-
tors and officials. Doctor Bedi-
vel added he found it “incompre-
hensible" that they could make
such an “important decision on
care of people without consult-
ing with those charged with im-
mediate care." He supported Ms.
Arrigo’s charge that promises of
consultation with parents and
personnel were being broken.

Further Reports

Ms. Arrigo said reports reach-
ing her from staff on the wards
indicated that Ms. Ethridge, who
seemed to make most of the re-
ports to the legislators, confined
herself mainly to physical short-
comings of the buildings, noting
also "there was a void on care

‘The CSEA leader added that

Steele and plant superintendent

Bedizel, who cited neglect

said that the leg-

should be aware of the

impact of any adverse nge

ress to the residents and their
parents.

"Those making the decision

should be aware of how each

part of this facility fits together
with the next part and why J.N.
Adam has such unanimous sup-
port of parents, community, and
personnel,” Dr. Bedizel explained.
‘The building accommodations
tre home-like and the staff is
like a close-knit family

“Because we're small, we know
each other and help each other
and this includes the service
people, who also extend their
love and care to the residents;
they, too, are a part of the fam-
ily." he continued. “You can't
achieve these results in an in-
stitutional setting like at Go-
wanda.”

CSEA began a fight to save
the Perrysburg facility several
months ago. It based its cam-
paign on the humanitarian as-
pects of the situation.

“As a miatter of fact, that's all
that’s involved: what's good for
our residents.” Ms. Arrigo ex-
plained, “There is practically no
other impact on our members.
Some would drive farther to
work, but most would be closer
in Gowandas. Less than a hand-
ful might lose jobs, and then
probabiy only for a short time
because the Gowanda facilities
are such that staff requirements
would probably be greater.”

More than 2,000 persons, in-

cluding most of the 350 em-
ployees, have signed petitions to
keep the center at Perrysburg.

It is believed that the legislators
were being involved because
closing a Mental Hygiene facility
requires legislative action.

“In the present instance,
they're calling it consolidation to
get around that requirement,”
Ms. Arrigo said, who noted that
there ure ambulatory retarded
at Gowanda,

At Perrysburg, residents are
housed in single or double rooms:
@ few rooms have four residents.
All rooms open directly on sur-
rounding porches with views of
the surrounding hilly country-
side and with direct access to
fire escapes,

The facilities proposed at Go-
wanda are a more modern high-
rise structure, the Gray Build-
ing, with dormitory accommoda-
tions, and egress to the outdoors
confined to elevators or stair-
ways.

Pension Raid Protest

(Continued from Page 1)

When the 210 members of the
Legislature arrived in Albany for
last Thursday's opening session,
each was greeted with a hand-
delivered letter from Dr, Wenz]
pointing out again CSEA’s “un-
alterable opposition” and “ada-
mant objection” to any plan to
‘use the pension funds to aid
New York City. “I strongly urge
you and your fellow legistators
to reject any effort to include
these pension funds as part of
this or any other plan to bail
New York City out of its self-
induced insolvency. This is a
matter of the absolute gravest
concern to our membership and
an issue upon Which we are firm-
ly united,” Dr, Wena! said.

CSEA regional operations join-
ed in with a wave of protests to
regional legislators as well. Solo-
mon Bendet, president of CSEA's
New York City Region, had let-
ters hand-delivered to legislators
stating “State of New York em-
ployees in the New York City Re-
gion are opposed to any further
investment of New York State
Employees’ Retirement System
pension funds in securities of the
Municipal Assistance Corpora-
tion. Such investments unneces-
sarily endanger the lives and
security of Civil Service workers

committee chairman, and Rose Marie Long, sockal committee co-chairman.

and their families.’ Mr. Bendet's
letter also called for a shifting
of responsibilities for New York
financial problems from the
backs of Civil Service employees
to the federal government

Joseph McDermott, president
of the Albany Region, sent mail-
grams to all area legislators say-
ing, “The 87 chapters of the Al-
bany Region of CSEA, represent-
ing 50,000 public employees, in-
sist that investments of New
York State public employee pen-
sion funds NOT be included in
any legislative plan to forestall
poorly-handied New York City
budget problems, Documented
statements from fund actuaries
support this stand.”

Irving Flaumenbaum, president
of CSEA's Long Island Region,
sent telegrams to all Long Island
lawmakers, thet “Region I of the
Civil Service Employees Aasn.,
which includes 55,000 members,
demands that you vote against
the use of pension funds to buy
Big MAC securities. Please ad-
vise your position on this very
serious matter of great urgency.”

Southern Region president
James J. Lennon directed an
avalanche of protest toward his
regional legislators, having every
single chapter president person-
ally send protest telegrams, In
all, presidents of 48 state chap-
ters, eight county chapters and
three retiree chapters in the
Southern Region buried their
legislators with protest telegrams
and letters.

Robert L. Lattimer, president
of the Western Region, sent a
hand-delivered letter to every
legislator from that region. It
read, in part, “On behalf of 40,-
000 employees of schoo! districts,
villages, towns, citles, counties
and the state, represented by the
Civil Service Employees Associa-
tion (CSEA) in Western New
York, I strongly urge you to op-
pose the use of New York State
Retirement Systems funds for
any purpose other than that for
which they were intended,”

And Syracuse CSEA regional
president Richard E. Cleary went
& step further, also arranging
for spot radio commercials urg-
ing people to call thelr senators
and assemblymen in opposition
to any further investment of
pension funds, The radio eom-
mercials listed the proper tele-
phone numbers to call to reach
the legislators, The radio mes-
sages were paid for by the Syra~

cuse CSBA City chapter.

Quit The Klan
Or Get Fired,
Ward Orders

ALBANY — Commissioner
Benjamin Ward of the State
Correctional Services Depart-
ment has issued an order
forbidding employees of the
state's prisons from belonging to
the Ku Klux Klan.

‘The Commissioner siid that a
“limited number" of employees
have been advised to resign their
KKK memberships by Oct. 1 or
be fired. The order follows an
investigation of several months’
duration on KKK activity in the
New York State prison system.

"In a racially mixed commu-
nity—over 50 percent of New
York State's inmates are biack
and over 60 percent are non-
white—any Klan presence causes
an imbalance between employees’
constitutional rights to treely as-
soeiate and the right of inmates
under the Eighth Amendment of
the United States Constitution to
humane treatment,” the Com-
missioner said.

Last April a teacher
Eastern Correctional Facility.

the department for participating
in KKK activities and a guard
at Wallkill Correctional Facility

rally at New Berlin in July.

A Response To A Letter By Jim

In the Sunday Daily News
of Aug. 31, a letter by fire-
man James Powell of Engine
Co, 250 appeared. It was
headlined: “An Open Letter to
the People of the News Media.”

In It, fireman Powell outlined
how, in the past, the media gen-
erally treated
the firefighters
well and gave
them the encou-
ragement and
moral support
which they have
always richly
deserved

However, he
correctly ta-
ments that, in THAYER
recent days, the media have shied
away from lauding the uniformed
services of the city, and even edi-
torially condemn the unions in
general for the unfortunate fiscal
plight in which the city finds
itself at the present time

For about 27 of the 50 years
I have spent working with and
observing firefighters in this and
other cities. my special interest

by firefighters in New York City.
I have also found that as the
new breed of editor arrives to
take over, we find that suddenly
the editorial policy of the paper
changes and the format changes
along with it.

As an example, let us take the

case of two firemen recently
kilied in line of duty. I was
sickened to find that not one

word of their deaths appeared in
the public press, as far as I
could ascertain. In one case, the
“big story” of the day was the
death of a horse while engaged
in a much-touted race with an-
other horse. There was no space
to report the death of the fire-
fighter. In another case, a dead
firefighter was lucky to make
page 15.

Up until abo 10 years ago,
I had concentrated on still pho-
tography, Rarely did a week go
by without one of my photos,
showing firefighters at thelr very
best, appearing in the pages of
our city papers, Then suddenly.
the policy changed. I found that
my pictures were being passed

Lt, James Gilchrist of Engine 35 is led to ambulance. The floor on
which he was standing at a 1965 blaze collapwed and as he fell into

was photography

The photos shown here, which
were taken about 10 years apart
indicate clearly that absolute
and complete dedication to the
job at hand hasn't changed one
whit and though the fire-
fighters have been harassed, em-
barrassed, ridiculed, showered
with stones and debris, they con-
tinue to do thelr job as th
have always done it in the pa
with complete devotion and de-
dication.

Perhaps one of the reasons for
the apparent decline of interest
in the New York City firefighter
by the media in general is the
fact that so many out-of-town
men and women are being
brought into the city desks of
our newspapers and TV stations
In the hinterlands, they hardly
ever run into anything like the
exploits which are carried out

over the writing of this column,
T have steadily maintained that
the firefighter, by reason of the
danger of his work and the hero-
ism with which he performs it,
should not be lumped into the

same category as other civil ser-
vants. He is the one man who
should be treated with special
consideration by a city whose
Mayors down through the years
have always praised his heroism
when such praise was sure to
add to the speaker's prestige or
to hopefully polish an otherwise
lacklustre public image on his
part, I think we can agree that
talk is cheap.

T recall a highly laudable
statement by our present Mayor
only a day or two before the

that no matter how badly you
are treated, if there is a job to
do, you are going to do it, even if
it means your Ife. One thing for
sure . nobody will ever be
abie to break your spirit and as
for the “Message to Garcia,” it
was delivered a long time ago
and is knocking the hell out of
the consciences of those for
whom the message was intended.
Maybe things will get worse but,
for sure, somewhere along the
ine, especially with the image
of the firefighter which you and
your brothers, create by your
deeds, it’s got to get better.

At least when you go to sleep
at night, you know you have
done your best in the past and
will continue to do so in the
future.

On the books, insofar as I'm
concerned, you certainly have
paid your dues and don’t owe
the people of this city one damn
thing.

The fireman on fire escape had crawled around inside flaming
apartment searching for victims under beds, in closets and in bath-

would have placed on the photo

So, Jun Powell, I know every
firefighter in this city is hurt-
ing because they feel that they
have been taken. It isn’t new
They have felt that way for
many years and I have warned
the city fathers in this column
about it, but my warnings have
been ignored, Thelr failure to
realize the discontent of the fire-
fighter finally resulted in the
“withdrawal of dedication” ap-
proach in 1971 and has com-

Passed and the firefighter finds
himself getting ever more deeply

State Employees Are Asked
For Ideas On Contract Items °

(Special to The Leader)

ALBANY — State contract demands
promise to be one of the hottest topics at
the Civil Service Employees Assn.'s annual
delegates meeting later this month and
John M. Carey, CSEA's assistant director-
State, urged members to be prepared.

“State employees should use the next
couple of weeks to write down their contract
demands and send them or give them to
their CSEA delegates, if they haven't done
so already,” Mr. Carey said. “The current
contract will expire in just six months, and
we hope to get an early start on negotia-
tions for the new contract.”

CSEA's convention Sept. 28-Oct. 3 at
Niagara Falls will feature separate meetings
for each of the four bargaining units that
CSEA represents on the state level

“This way, the delegates from each unit
can get together on the items they want,
and on their priorities, without having to
listen to any discussions that don’t apply

to them,” Mr. Carey said. “We hope to have
four very effective meetings.”

CSEA represents about 150,000 state
employees in the Administrative, Institu-
tional, Operational, and Professional, Scien-
tific and Technical units, CSEA members in
all four units completed their elections of
new delegates during the summer.

“This year it is especially vital that the
delegates have an accurate idea of the issues
and priorities of all CSEA members in the
State Division,” Mr. Carey said. “These will
probably be the toughest negotiations we've @
ever faced. The delegates need to know what
the members want in terms of salaries,
grievance procedures, health and dental in-
surance, vacations, sick days and all the
other terms and conditions of employment."

Mr, Carey urged members to give their
contract demands, in writing, to their chap-
ter delegates or to send them to him at

Watertown Threatens PERB
Action Over Longevity Issue

(From Leader Correspondent)

WATERTOWN — The
Watertown City unit of the
Civil Service Employees Assn.
is considering filing an un-
fair labor practice charge against
the city in an effort to obtain
longevity benefits won by police
and firefighters unions.

Frustrated in an attempt to
reopen a CSEA-city contract on
the longevity issue, CSEA unit
president Richard J. Grieco said
that, unless the matter can be

resolved locally, he will file an
unfair jabor practice charge with
the Public Employment Rela-
tions Board.

Mr. Grieco contends that
when CSEA signed its contract,
City Manager Ronald G. Forbes
offered a ‘statement of intent”
that would provide CSEA “any
benefits not tied to layoffs ac-
erued by other bargaining units
at a later time.”

Subsequent to the contract
sizning by the CSEA unit, fire-

fighters and policemen received
the sime 6 percent pay increase
as CSEA plus a longevity bene-
fit in the aftermath of mediation
and fact-finding

Mr. Grieco called the disparity
in longevity benefits “an intol-
erable and discriminatory situa-
tion.”

He alleges that the city’s
stated intent of passing along
benefits gained by other units
was 4 major reason why CSEA
signed its pact without pro-
longed confrontation.

Employees and the Public Em-
ployees Federation.

Mr. Carey called affiliation
with APSCME as “a high price to
pay for nothing in return. The
ransom is too great.” As for PEF,
Mr, Carey described | as a fed-
eration which included a local of
the Teamsters, “Not the interna~
tional brotherhood.”

He told the officers that it
was most important that they
“talk to the people on the line
facing the challenge. Exeoutive
meetings serve no one. This is
the day of the people,” he said.

“We've had a tough year. Too
many are dwelling on it, Every-
one has had a tough year.”

Mr, Carey said the entire legis-
lative program of the APL-ClO

“went down the drain in the
State Legislature,” and added
that negotiations must be timely
and there must be planning

‘Thomas Coyle, assistant direc-
tor of research, told the gather-
ing to challenge PEF representa-
tives on civil service law, “I'll

more about it than they do. Ask
them questions; they are the

‘The Governor arrived at the
campus for a scheduled bill sign~
ing and noon ceremony at Cor-
rey Student Union,

‘The picket line was organized
by Pat Crandall, president of
the CSEA chapter of SUNY-
Cortland,

"We felt this was an ideal time
to further demonstrate to the
Governor our strong feeling con-
cerning the $250 bonus “insult,”

his position of no salary inerease
for state workers next year, and
also our displeasure as voters and
taxpayers regarding the recent
‘lulus’ for state legisiators,” Ms.
Crandall said

“I declined an invitation to
the luncheon ceremony. I felt my
place was with my fellow CSEA
union members on the line,” she
udded.
