Book Relates Polities
Of Labor Negotiations
bles of any point the authors
choose to make. As it happens,
both Dr, Spero and Dr, Capozola
‘are professors of public adminis-
tration at NYU's Graduate Schoo}
of Public Administration.
‘The text sorts out the intrigues
of the labor-management-politics
web and provides the reader with
detailed footnotes to each chap-
‘et, as well as an extensive bib-
lography.
There is much spirit in the
many candid comments on the
labor-management tactics offer-
ed by both labor leaders and
city officials, who usually de-
clined to be identified. For exam-
ple, the authors discuss what
is known as “the script" — the
pre-ordained pattern followed by
both union leaders and city ne-
gotiators in the collective bar-
gaining process. “The script,” the
authors say, is a “highly ritual-
istic charade” in which both sides
conform to a certain amount of
role-playing.
“The script demands that the
union appear to have won a
large victory, wringing from a
tough, hard-bargaining manage-
ment the last cent possible,” the
book says. “Indeed, a basic
maxim of bargaining, accord-
ing to a city official, is that the
worst thing in the world is to
hand a union something on &
silver platter, since the leader-
ship feels that if you have the
power to give, you are, in fact,
taking away thelr power to get.”
From the side of labor, one
union official told the authors
that although the script may be
“an excuse for hard work and
professionalized bargaining,” it
is a necessity.
The classic example of the
script, the authors said, was the
way the late Mike Quill, head of
the Transport Workers Union,
would negotiate with the Transit
Authority: ‘This ts that script:
“Along about May or June
every other year, Mr. Quill
would summon members of
the press to announce the

Richard Bruno and together
they went to make a search
of the floor above the fire.
Sure enough, two rooms in

Bis he lite
A week or so ago, on that extra
fogey night, Detective Brian Mul-
heren was cruising in his batmo-
bile with a fellow cop when,
through the fog, he got a whiff
of smoke and {t spelled only one
thing: “flat going good." In spite
of the fact that he is a cop
and assistant police commission-
er Paul Canick’s right arm, he
is still a dedicated fire buff and
has @ great interest in the job.
He stopped, had his friend
pull the box at 172nd St. and
Southern Blvd. He dashed into the
building, heard screaming from
the floors above the fire, ran up
the stairs past the fire floor and
led elght occupants to safety.
Just as he finished his stint,
Engine 85 rolled in and immedi-
ately transmitted a 10-75 for the
box — which gives you some
idea of the intensity of ‘he
fire. Nice work supercop!
Had a nice talk with Lt. Frank
Cull who has been assigned to
create, edit and publish a month-
ly newsletter for fire fighters
about the Department. Just abou,
now, I don’t envy him, what
with things the way they hap-
pen to be. Realizing that a seri-
ous lack of communication ex-
ists between top and bottom
echelons, it is hoped that through
the publication of the newsletter
& better rapport and mutual un-
derstanding can be established.
Although I find quite a bit of
skepticism among the troops that
anything along those lines can
be accomplished at this late date,
I firmly believe that the first edi-
tions should be received with
encouragement and a completely
open mind. I hate to see lines
drawn with people engaged in
name-calling, bitterness, resent-
ment and general unhappiness.
‘There is just no place for that
sort of thing in the Fire Depart-
ment and regardless of who is
to blame, the sooner somebody
gets around to attempting to
stem the tide, the better it will be
for everybody. This may be the
first step. Why not give it a
chance? There will be a large
space for constructive criticism,
complaints and intelligent ques~
tions which will get straight-
from-the-shoulder answers.

soap box for any pet theories

Back Food Rally
(Continued from Page 1)
velop the career ladder, and “we want the public to
be made aware of the situation that exists on the
employee side of the table.”
It was explained that after contract negotiations
last year, the Office of Employee Relations had issued
a letter of intent to CSEA, setting a March 31, 1974,
deadline to develop such a career ladder. On Feb. 7
of this year, however, OER said that the state refuses
to consider any type of food service career ladder,
Therefore, the CSEA Board of Directors authorized,
at its regular monthly meeting in February, that sup-
port be given to food service employees in their efforts
to gain recognition of their problem.
For those workers who are unable to participate
in the rally in Albany this week, it was recommended
that they make their views known to the Administra-
tion by the time-tired method of letters.
A number of sample letters were drafted by CSEA’s
public relations department.
CSEA Public Relations Director Joseph Roulier told
The Leader that he realized that individual letters had
more impact on the legislators than form letters, but
“many people feel that such letters have to sound as
though they were written by a team of college pro-
fessors in order to impress the Administration, so
they are reluctant to write for fear of embarrassing
themselves,
“The letters should be short and to the point,” Mr.
Roulier explained. “The Governor certainly doesn’t
have time to read each individual letter, but if enough
people care to write their views sheer numbers should
show the workers’ determination to have the food
service career ladder negotiated,
“For that reason, we have prepared these sample
letters In order to provide some ideas to the people
on how to make their point in a few words,
“But,” he advised, “five sample letters from Head-
quarters will not carry nearly as much weight as thou-
sands of letters in the employees’ own words, especially
when they start arriving from the far-flung areas of
the state, such as Central Islip on Long Island, West
Seneca in the western part of the state and St
Lawrence in the northland.”
The sample letters are reprinted below:
Dear Governor Wilson:
T'm & G-3 {ood service worker for New York State, During
the past year, I thought I might have a chance to advance
myself in State service.
Our union had an agreement with the State to consider
a food service career ladder. Now I hear the State has
said, “no go.”
I don’t want to be @ G-3 all my life. I'm willing to work
for advancement, but now the State won’t let me. Please fight
for our rights
Sincerely,
(YOUR NAME)
What kind of a State are you running? CSEA had an
agreement with your people to consider a career ladder for
food service workers, Now your people fave gone back on
their word.
Food service workers deserve a chance to earn better
jobs. New York State is denying us this chance. How would
you like to face being a G-3 or G-4 all your life?
If you want my vote next November, do something about
our career ladder.
T'm one of the food service workers in New York State
who need the career ladder we were promised in nego'lations.
Our union, CSEA, has been ready to talk about the career
Jadder for over @ year.
Now the State says it doesn't want to even consider
one.
You should know how we feel, after all, you waited 15
years ‘o get @ better Job. Remember, broken promises mean
lost votes.
You have had a chance to advance yourself to the State's
highest office, but there are very few chances for advance-
ment in the Food Service set up of the Mental Hygiene
Department of this State.
My union, CSA, has been trying for over a year to
develop a career ladder for food service workers
Now the State says it won't even consider such a thing.
Why not give us the same chance you had, a chance to
work for an advancement.
T'm not # highly paid State fat ca‘. I work in a hot kitchen
cooking for the patients.
I need @ chance to improve my situation. The OSEA pro-
posed career ladder for Food Service workers, Now the
Btate says no to the idea,
Tl remember in November what you do for me in
March.

area at the prison and many have

Plaint
Doctor Checks
The State Department of
Health sent an entomologist, Dr.
Thomas F. Bast, and he made
an inspection of the area in-
volved in the complaint. Dr.
Bast said he found after exam-
ining 46 employees that five civi-
lian personnel and one inmate,
apparently a trustee, showed
evidence of some kind of re-
action, like a bug bite, on their
hands, knees and neck.
Dr. Bas’, said he found evidence
of six kinds of insects in the
area, including lady bird beetles,
ants, aphids and leafhoppers but
none of these bite humans. He
also said the area had been thor-
oughly fogged with an electric
fogging device and aerosol bombs.
Mr. Senisi fired back in a let-
ter to the entomologist saying he
must “reject this report. In my
position, I cannot with a clear
consciene call all of these people

desired, yet all we get from the
administration is that the area
‘nas been cleaned thoroughly. The
administration claims that the
area has been fogged and that
nothing could live after the ap-
plication, yet these insects live
and bite.
“We at Green Haven are no’
interested in reports or Investi-
gations. All we are interested in
is cleaning the infested area of
all insects and making this area
a place where the people can do
the work demanded of them
without the concern of becoming
carriers of bugs on thelr person.
“In your report you found six
different inseets which you claim
are not ‘man-bditers.’ Since these
insects were uncovered in a su-
perficial round-up, imagine what
a concentrated effort would have
uncovered,
“In all sincerity I must reject
this report as a complete white-
wash and the work of a bureau-
cratic administration which in-
tends to do nothing.”
No Representative
‘The chapter president said on
March 1, the prison administra-
tion held a meeting on the prob-
lem with women employees, “A‘
this time I was told that the
women asked for their represen-
tative to be present and were
told ‘Senisi does not have to be
here, he has nothing to do with
this," Mr. Senisi said.
“I am informing my members
to disregard anything said at
this illegal meeting since they
were not duly represented and
this is one of their rights under
the contract," he ‘old the pris-
on administration. He said in
the future the members would
“refuse to meet with you or
anyone from the state when it
deals with a contract grievance
unless their representative is
present. This type of harassment
the CSEA will not tolerate.”
On March 11, one of the cell-
blocks at Green Haven was closed
because of insect infestation.
“The problem is spreading to the
prison population. They tell us
there are no bugs here, yet they
close the cellblock, That's the
kind of run around they give
us at Green Haven,” Mr. Senisi
sald.

Are Letters Effective?
RE individual letters to legislators effective?
A Since Assemblyman Peter Berle (D., Manhattan 68th
District) has recently written a book on the workings of
the Legislature (Does the Citizen Stand a Chance?; Barron's
Educational Series, Inc., Woodbury, N.Y.), The Leader re-
cently asked the Assemblyman his opinion on letter-writ-
ing. His response was:
“The most effective kind of letter, of course, is some-
thing that is not a form letter, but is written by someone
expressing their own views in their own words. It need only
be a couple of sentences on a postcard. You know that
somebody cared enough about it to sit down and commu-
nicate with you. I think a politician understands that a per-
son who does that is also prepared to cast an informed vote,
either for you or against you the next time around.”
He also explained that if they are form letters, they will
get measured by the pound, but, even then, if there are
500 or a thousand of them, it indicates some measure of
concern, and the legislator knows that he has got to be
responsive.
The Legislature is moving into its most active period
at this time. As Assemblyman Berle points out, approximate-
ly 2,000 bills will be introduced within the six-month
session, With so many items vying for attention, it is easy
to see how letters can have some effect on a legislator’s
judgment, since more attention will be given to those issues
that have stirred the voters to a degree of personal involve-
ment,
There are many topics of interest to be debated in this
year’s session. Many of these items of importance to pub-
lic employees have stirred strong debate in the past, Among
these are the agency shop, employer penalties under the
Taylor Law, the right to strike, retirement benefits, labor
law safety and health standards, cost-of-living provisions.
These are subjects of interest to all public employees.
In addition, there are bills that will be introduced of
Special interest to certain segments of the public employee
work force. These affect ermployees of the Waterfront
Commission, Military and Naval Affairs, the State Univer-
sity, local government, school districts, veterans, retirees,-etc.
It’s one thing for a citizen to go to the pollls in No-
vember and vote for his choices to represent him in Al-
bany and Washington, At the same time, it must be re-
membered that the issues of November can be ancient his-
tory by the time a politician's term expires, In order to keep
aware of his constituents’ opinions, a politician needs to
hear from the folks back home.
Dean Martin's closing remark on his television show
is apropos: “Keep those cards and letters coming.”

If Nixon vacates the White
House for any reason, Ford will
automatically move up and would
then have the power to nominate
the new Vice “4ent In the
same manner + had been
selected for that office when
Agnew resigned.
Cirele Tightens
While Nixon insists that he will
tough it and will not resign, the
cirele around him seems to be
rig tighter. The prospect that
may resign was heighten-
ed when Congressman Wilbur
Mills publicly announced tha’
Nixon would resign when the
Joint Congressional Committee
on Taxation makes public its
report within the next 40 days
on the President's tax returns,
Miliz ts Vice Chairman of that
Joint Committee as well as
Chairman of the powerful House
Committee on Ways and Means.
He is a solid, stolid citizen who
does not normally pop off in the
public print for the sake of
headline grabbing,
What makes Rockefeller the
leading prospect for Vice Prea-
ident in the event of a Nixon
resignation or impeachment is
‘hat Rockefeller would forge a
vital link between Ford and the
powerful eastern Republican es-
tablishment, This link is Imper-
ative for Republican victories in
the coming Congressional elec-
tions and for enhancing the pros~
pects in the 1976 Presidential
election,
Should Ford become the new
President, his main immediate
problem would be to keep Secre-
tary of State Henry Kissinger in
the cabinet. Top publishers
throughout the country are dang-
lng multi-million dollar royal-
ty advances to Kissinger for pub-
Heation rights to his memoirs,
Rockefeller can play a key role
in convincing Dr. Kissinger to
resist those tempting offers and
remain in the cabinet,
Visitors to Rockefeller's office
in midtown Manhattan and his
homes and to Kissinger's office
in Washington can tell you that
they are in telephone communi-
cation on almost*a daily basis,
In fact it was Rockefeller who
first brought Kissinger’s monu-
mental talents to the attention
of Nixon.
From the Governor's point of
view, his designation as Vice
President would make fils project
on Critical Choices for America
& governmental function and
would stimulate even greater in-
terest in this project which ts so
dear to his heart,
Opinion Swings Sharply
Democrats, of course, are
aware of the prospect of a Nixon
resignation and of a Rockefelle>
designation as Vice President.
And Democrats are unhappy.
‘They know that changes in pub-
ie opinion swing sharply —
from the overwhelming mandate
won by Nixon in 1972 to his low
public esteem today according to
public opinion polls,
The swing in public opinion
can change dramatically andé
overnight. Clearly a new Ford~
Rockefeller administration could
generate such a swing. Public
interest in Watergate would dim-
inish to almost zero once there
was no further White House in-
volvement. Besides, the public ts
always prepared to share @
honeymoon period with a new ad-
ministration.

PERB Shoots Down Ulster Sheriff
A few months ago, the Public Employment hovteeied
Board decided that the Ulster County Sheriff was guilty of
an improper practice and that he violated section 209-a.1(d)
of the Civil Service Law (Taylor Law) by refusing to sign
the memorandum of terms to which he had agreed. This is
a case where, in a prior representation case reported at 3
PERB 3527, the Sheriff and Ulster County were found to be
joint employers of a unit of Deputy Sheriffs.
During the negotiations which led to the charge in this
case, the Sheriff attended only the first of four negotiating e
sessions. He appeared there for the sole reason of challeng-
ing the majority status of the CSEA in spite of the fact that
CSEA was certified by PERB some five months before as
the exclusive negotiating agent for the unit of Deputy
Sheriffs,
The Sheriff never actually participated in the negoti-
ations, Instead, he permitted them to be handled by the
negotiator for the County of Ulster who was acting for the
County not only as the joint employer of the Deputy Sheriffs
but as the sole employer of employees other than Deputy @
Sheriffs who were also represented by the CSEA.
THE SHERIFF submitted only one proposal in the nego-
tiations and that was submitted through the County nego-
tlator, and never in any manner did the Sheriff deny the
implications of his conduct, that is, that the County nego-
tlator was acting as his negotiator also.
In December 1972, the CSEA and the County negoti-
ator reached the terms of an agreement and executed a
memorandum of understanding setting forth all of the @
terms and conditions which had been agreed upon. This
memorandum of understanding was given to the Sheriff
for him to sign, whereupon he stated that before he would
take any action on it he would require that it be reviewed
by his attorney.
On three occasions in December 1972 and January 1973,
the CSEA submitted the memorandum of understanding for
signature to the Sheriff. On the last of those occasions,
CSEA left two copies of a memorandum of agreement at
the office of the Sheriff with a request that they be signed
and returned by Jan. 31, 1973. The Sheriff answered the
CSEA on Jan, 26, 1973, by letter in which he indicated
his acceptance of the agreement but requested that all of
the terms be included in a separate agreement.
About two months later, an agreement was submitted
to the Sheriff which he refused to sign. That agreement,
however, was incomplete, Several days later, a complete sep-
arate contract was submitted to the Sheriff which he
refused to sign.
THE BOARD FOUND that the actions of the Sheriff
indicated that he agreed to the terms and conditions nego-
tiated by the CSEA and the County in December 1972. How-
ever, he refused ‘to execute a written statement of that
agreement, and therefore, the charge of refusal to bargain
is sustained,
The Board also found that when a joint employer re-
lationship exists and one of the joint employers has the
apparent authority to act for the other joint employer on
his behalf in negotiations, the joint employer who takes
the subsidiary role is bound by the terms and conditions
agreed upon in the negotiations. The joint employer rela-
tionship which existed in this case was imposed upon the
Sheriff by operation of law through decision of PERB and
the Sheriff, therefore, was not free to abrogate it. In the
Matter of William B, Martin, Sheriff of Ulster County and
Ulster County Unit, CSEA,
is giving Democrats a headache
— at Jeast those Democrats who
think. They had earlier in the
year looked forward to major vie-
tories in races for Governor,
United States Senator and Con-
gress in all parts of the country,
A Ford-Rockefeller administra-
tion will completely tum around €
those prospects,

~ Dilemma At Willowbrook
In the seven years since Sen.
Kennedy's exposure of these con-
ditions, little has been done to
ameliorate them; so little, in fact,
that a sult was filed two years
ago against former Gov. Rocke-
feller and the Dept. of Men‘al
Hygiene by parents of children
at Willowbrook. .
For the past 16 months we
have trying to work with
employees of Mental Hygiene.
We have vast documentation on
the irresponsibility and lack of
accountability within Mental
Hygiene at its highest levels. We
found no cooperation in amelior-
ating existing conditions that were
brought to their attention, Work-
ing at Mental Hygiene means
turning your head the other way
and saying nothing of the in-
humane conditions which exist.
Your editorial appears to sug-
west that anything is good
enough for the handicapped. Do
you beHeve that parents of pub-
Me school children would be
placated to know that out of
4,000 teachers, only 225 are con-
vieted felons? Or that this is not
important because the majority
of teachers are dedicated? Why
should handicapped children re-
ceive services that would not be
tolerated by parents of children
who are “normal”?
‘The issue is that the mentally
retarded are voiceless Inmates of
“concentration camps” who are
looked upon as less than human.
But convicted felons, homosexu-
als, and ex-mental patients are
not allowed to work within our
public schoo] system. Until they
are, there is a double standard
for the mentally deficient who
are not in a position to complain
if they are il-treated.
To claim that the majority of
those who work in institutions for
the retarded are dedicated (which
might include convicted felons,
homosexuals and ex-mental pa-
tents), does not solve the prob-
Jem for children who are helpless
and il-treated by individuals who
work in these facilities who are
not dedicated (and these might
include the most upstanding citi-
zen)
We cannot claim our services
to the handicapped are human
and humane until the Willow-
brooks no longer exist. In 1966,
Burton Blatt wrote a pictorial
essay called "Christmas in Pur-
gatory” in which fhe depicted
conditions in tnatitutions for the
retarded in New York and other
states. Eight years later those
conditions still exist and your
writing tries to gloss over them.
I only wish that Sen. Padavan
was “twisting the facts.” He has
hardly begun to make them
graphic enough, since he con-
fined himself mainly to the loss
of material goods, The loss of
human spirit is the great crime
and we would only hope that you
try and do something about that,
recommendation that more funds
centralize Mental Hygiene facill-
ties, we do believe it to be a sin-
cere effort worthy of public dis-
cussion, if State Senator Padavin
wanted to bring attention to the
situation in mental health care.
But, instead, he chose to make
his news by spotlighting human
frailty of those persons who pro-
vide the services to the residents
of the institutions, supposedly
pointing up the waste within
the department. In truth we re-
gard his charges as smokescreen
to convince the public that less
funding would be needed if only
the “criminality” could be stop-
ped.
We recognize the concern of
people like Ms, Freeman, whose
letter has prompted this reply.
We do wish that as much con-
cern should be shown to those
convicted felons, homosexuals and
ex-mental patients .. . who are
all human beings, too,
Our editorial point (Feb. 19,
1974) was that “felons” is a
misleading label unless you know
what the so-called crime may
have been, and how far In the
past it may have occurred. Simil-
arly, ls homosexual rape more
outrageous than heterosexual
rape? and is an ex-mental pa-
tent necessarily violent? Numer-
ous great men and women of
hintory, as well as highly respect~
ed leaders of American life today,
have had prison records, have
been homosexuals and have had
records as mental patients,
‘The question ts not whe-
ther any individual falls within
one of these categories, but whe-
ther that person ls a threat to
the safety of other people, And
if there ts & double standard
between the public achool ays-
tem and the public institutions

Editor, The Leader:
The State Legislature ts con-
cerned with the senior citizen
problem and they could help.
Nothing has been done for re-
tired state employees, who are
also senior citizens, and have re-
tired since 1969. The pension
check is still tied to the market
basket prevailing in 1969
The human needs of the form-
er employees should have first
claims in state government and
relief of a supplemental cost-of-
living pension increase should be
granted by the present legislature
now in session.

The Citizen
Vs.
The Legislature
* *
*
“It it is a form letter, the Assemblyman measues
them by the pound .. .The most effective kind
...is witten by someone expressing their
own views in their own words. It need only
be a couple of sentences on a postcard.”
66 FOES the citizen stand
a chance?”
The provocative question
is posed as a book title by
Assemblyman Peter Berle (D
Manhattan 68th District) about
state legislatures in general and
New York in particular. Although
he assembles an awesome amount
of argument and fact to the con-
trary, he does answer the ques-
tion quite affirmatively: “Of
course he does.”
Whether you agree with the
conclusion or not, Mr. Berle's
hew paper-bound book (Barro!
Educational Series, Inc., Wood-
bury, N.Y., $1.25) pokes a long-
needed flashlight into the work-
ings of that possibly antiquated
law-making machine which is the
State Legislature in Albany
In an interview with The
Leader, the young Assemblyman
(age 36), who was elected in
1968 as the first successful Dem-
ocratic candidate for years in
this Republican bastion, said the
book was designed to give #
citizen a “roadmap” to the Leg-
islature. “Large numbers of yot-
ers often come to Albany, repre-
senting nonmonied interests, and
much of thelr efforts are wasted
They don't know who does what
to whom or where the power
lies.
Sometimes the voice of the
public rises to a point to over-
whelm the Legislature into a
needed change, and Mr. Berle
cited the outery last year against
day-care fund cuts and the re-
cent rape law change.
“These people did a lot of
lobbying and educating of the
legislators, and it is this kind of
example that gives me some hope.
‘What I would like to see is
that kind of reform in Al-

that should have a strong, pop-
ular appeal, like a class action
giving a group of consumers the
right to sue, are thwarted or
stopped by the monied interests,
in this case the banks, who have
‘he wherewithal to stall them.”
Are individual letters to leg-

piled: “I think they have a lot
of effect, much more than letter

bers. Special interest groups
such as banks and insurance
companies have money, but don’t
represent public interests, Groups
that represent people's interests
don't have money, Unions, how-
ever, have the money and can
organize members into applying
direct political pressure on legis-
lators.
But how does a bill get to be
Passed, and what obstacles stand
before any new piece of legis-
lation? Various sections of the
book outline the mechanics of the
legislative process. Mr. Berle
noted that about 15,000 pieces
of legislation will be introduced
during the six months session
but only about 2,000 will come to
the floor.
He said, “A lot of what comes
to the floor is junk, such as
changing the names of streets.
Tt seems as though we rename
half the highways tn the state
we
Here’s how it looks on the inside. The Assembly is in session
and Speaker Perry B. Duryea is on the rostrum at right
each year. And because of home
rule in this state, a lot of legis-
lation deals with purely local
problems. If you want to change
the police scheduies in New York
City, you have to pass a bill in
the Legislature, which ts silly."
New York State has been rated
No. 2 in the country among the
best legislature by the Citizens
Conference on State Legislatures.
Mr, Berle commented: “It shows
that state governments nationally
are in very sorry shape. Maybe
we are the second best (to Call-
fornia), but if that's the case
the rest of the country is pretty
bad.”
He questioned the yardsticks
by which the legislatures were
Measured, and thought several
state legislatures are much more
responsive to the public than
New York. “Other states seem
to be much leas bound to party
discipline than us,” he said. “For
Instance, Ohio passed an income
tax ona bipartisan basis, some-
thing that would be unlikely
here.”
Mr, Berle found that one of
the primary weak points of the
New York Legislature is that
“It has insulated itself from pub-
Mec pressure. Power ts concen-
trated in the hands of one or two
people.” Mr, Berle went on to
detail the awesome power of the
Speaker of the Assembly (Perry
B. Duryea), who can give life or
death to any bill
“Our system of checks and
balances has broken down here
more substantially than in other
places,” he continued. “This was
primarily because of the ability
of Governor Rockefeller to get
his way by one means or an-
other. Our Legislature is not a
separate and equal branch of
government, providing innova-
tion and a check and balance on
the executive power.
He commented that with the
change in Governors, Malcolm
Wilson “doesn't exercise the kind
of clout that Rockefeller did.”
He saw this a5 @ positive step
in the legislative process
He noted that the younger poll-
tieans, such as himself, had from
1970 been campaigning to tm-
prove the Legislature and its
responsiveness to public need.
Committee sessions are now open
. Committee
‘o the public and the press.
“That was heralded as a great
step ahead,” he said, “but the
problem is that committee agen-
das are determined exclusively
and solely by committee chair-
men, Even though I'm the rank-
ing minority member on the
Committee of Environmental
Conservation, I can't get a bill
on that agenda if the chairman
doesn't want it.”
Because of the tremendous vol-
ume of legislation introduced,
committees are essential and act
as a filter in the legislative pro-
cess. But the New York Legis-
lature does not maintain a re-

flective proportion of Democrats
to Republicans on committees.
“That's one of the big sbuses,"
said Mr. Berle, “and one of the
ways you maintain party control
‘The Republicans aren't the only
fellows responsible for this. The
‘House is split 80 Republicans to
70 Democrats, which is a fair-
ly close ratio, but on committees
the proportion is 3-2 or even
worse. In the Ways and Means
where I serve we've
go* seven Democrats and some-
thing like 19 Republicans.
But Mr. Berle ts confident ben-
eficial changes in legislative rules
will continue to be made, be-
cause there are “increasing
numbers of young men up there
who are taking @ fresh look at
the process, who are indepen-
dent in their viewpoint and have
@ strong, popular constituency,”

Letters To The Editor
TO
Jab Lindsay & C’
Editor, The Leader:
For shame, Mr. Bauch! Why
‘establish
of the leaders in the field of pub-
lic health.
‘This monstrosity, HSA, this
morass of professional inade-
quacy and administrative ineff-
ciency, was bequeathed to Com-
missioner Lowell Bellin by his pre-
decessors. You say “it may be
that the Health Dept. will never
be the same.” The same as what?
Who in his right mind wants it
in the same state in which Mayor
Lindsay and Gordon Chase left
ft? You speak of “damage to
the professionalism of the Health
Department” as a curfent and
ongoing thing. That “damage”
was done during Lindsay and
Chase's tenure, and you should
not even suggest ‘hat Mayor
Beame or Commissioner Bellin
are remotely responsible.
New titles were established
from way out in left field. Va-
cancies in higher clerical and
administrative lines of promo-
ton were abolished in order to
provide the monies for the new
‘way out” titles. Open competi-
‘ive, unassembled, and Rule 5.3.6
exams were very rapidly held ‘to
fill these never-before needed
titles. The merit system became
a shambles, The HSA Bureau of
Personnel Services, a product of
Lindsays’ Administration, respon-
ded accordingly and created a
credibility gap between it and
career personne! that persists and
will go down in infamy.
Despite the irreparable damage,
despite our impatience, restiess-
ness and low morale, we have
been aroused and incensed by
your unjust criticism. We have
suffered under HSA and are now
certainly anxious to give the new
man a chance. He can’t do any
worse than has been done and
he certainly will, judging from
his credentials, strive to do a
hell of a lot better than his pre-
decessors.
You ask “how come former
HSA Administrator Gordon
Chase did not appoin' the then
Deputy Commissioner of Health
Dr. Lowell Bellin to be his Health
Commissioner?” You know the
answers. Dr, Bellin did not have
the political “clout,” the access
to City Hall and Gracie Man-
sion that Chase's appointee had,
nor did Dr. Bellin have the will-
ingness to become a figure head.
Indeed, the very fact that Mr.
Chase did not appoint Dr. Bellin
further dignifies our new Com-
missioner.
Your slings and barbs, Mr
Bauch, are probably well-inten-
tioned but are misdirected, You
are rattling the wrong skeletons
and looking in the wrong closets,
You certainly do not reflect the
feelings of the vast majority
ot career service employees of
the Dept. of Health.
Incidentally, in your civil ser-
vice ifetime, have you known
any newly appointed comunis-
sioner who has not exercised
his prerogative to appoint his
own deputies and his own asals-
tant? Commissioner Bellin can-
not be faulted for selecting his
own team,
“Witeh bunt?” Tell it like it
is. There are thousands of career

civil service Health Dept. em-
ployees, on the sidelines, cheer-
ing as many of the HSA politi-
cally ensconsed flunkies bite the
dust, due to definitive action
on the part of Dr. Lowell Bellin
and his team.
Urges Vet Credits
For Pension Rights
Editor, The Leader:
This is a letter sent to Perry
B. Duryea, Jr. speaker of the
State Assembly, by the Probation
And Parole Officers Amn. Of
Greater New York.
‘The Executive Committee of
this union voted unanimously to
support the principle of allowing
veterans credit towards their pen-
sion rights for time served on
behalf of the Government of the
United States of America dur-
ing World War IT
We therefore urge you to take
immediate action to secure the
passage of Bill #6122 which is
now before the Assembly Com-
mittee on Governmenta] Oper-
ations,
Wassage of this important bil)
would equitably extend to af-
fected city employees the same
benefit which Is now enjoyed by
federal and state employees
‘There are a large number of
Probation Officers now in city
service who would benefit from
passage of this legislation. It is
on thelr behalf that we implore
you to give serious consideration
to its favorable passage.
Thank you for your prompt
atrention to this matter

Want Career Ladde
Editor, The Leader
The Albany Region ‘executive
committee in meeting March 4
1974, expressed their strong sup-
Port for the scheduled demon-
stration on Career Ladders, which
is to be held at the Capitol on
March 19, 1974, as approved by
the statewide Board of Directors
for the Civil Service Employees
Assn
Although the demonstration
was proposed originally on the
basis of the state's unwillingness
to move on the Food Service
Career Ladder, it is obvious that
the importance of career ladders
affects all public sector em;
ployees.
Let's turn this one demon-
stration into a positive action to
insure the state government's
awareness of our concern in this
area.

Ask Positive Action
On Clerical Workers
Editor, The Leader:
The following letter was sub-
mitted to Dr. Theodore C. Wenzl,
‘This letter is an appeal to our
parent organization for positive
action on behalf of the mem-
bers of this chapter who belong
to the Administrative Service
Unit. For as far back as I can
personally remember, the clerical
workers have been promised any
number of possible reclassifica-
tions or career ladders or up-
gradings of any kind. I, along
with this group, fee] that the
carrot has been dangled long
enough. No one can be expected
to faithfully perform the duties
required of this group for the
length of time already consumed
between the onset of career lad-
der discussions and the present
without feeling frustrated, de-
spondent, and helpless.
Relterating the monumental,
voluminous and tedious tasks
performed by this group would,
@t this point, be redundancy.
Since there is no doubt that
headquarters is aware of this
group's activities and has dis-
cussed the topic at great length
with the State's bargaining
agents, it is difficult to compre-
hend how nothing has materi-
alized thus far. This fact, coupled
with numerous promises, guar-
antees, ete., concerning the future
implementation of this specific
career ladder has led to a worsen-
ing of this situation.
At this instant, a petition is
being circulated among the mem-
bers of this chapter, signed by
people representing al) strata
of employees. Apparently there
are many who are aware of the
plight of the clerical ‘group, If
these many people are this aware,
I can only request that our par-
ent organization demand respon-
sible responses from the State
This situation cannot persist
Martin Langer,
President, CSEA Rockland
State Hospital Chapter
Hike Secretary Pay
Editor, The Leader
In your Feb, 19, issue, you had
an article: “Werner Joins Secre-
taries’ Upgrade Plea.”
Who pleads for upgrading of
salaries for engineering secre-
tartes? In private industry they
are classified much higher than
‘the common job “secretary.” The
engineering secretary must be
familiar with highly technical
terms and works under heavy
pressure
I can speak for myself, I have
had 20 years of varied engineer-
ing secretarial experience in priv-
ate industry and seven years
with the State Department, My
salary with the State Department
comes nowhere near what I earn-
ed in private industry yet my
work is just as exacting and re-
ponsible, Why not raise the aa
ary of secretaries in this
important field?

Report Praises
And Criticizes
Sanitation Dept
The Dept. of Sanitation was
both praised for certain produc-
tivity improvements and con-
demned for wasteful practices
and “featherbedding” in a repor*
issued last week by the Citizens
Budget Commission.
Six areas in which the Com-
mission cited improvements were:
* An increase in the amount
of refuse collected per truck shift.
© A decline in the number of
missed refuse ‘collections.
© A decline in the annual
number of truck shifts.
© The freeing of about $5 mil-
lion worth of manpower a year
for other duties.
© The cutting of repair-time
schedules for motorized equip-
ment.
© A reduction in the number
of trucks out of service.
Four areas cited in the report
as in immediate need for im-
provement are:
© Shifting refuse collections
from individual sanitation men
lifting 50-pound cans or bags to
motorized holst compactors mec-
hanically lifting containers hold-
ing as much as 6,000 pounds of
refuse. Presently, four percent
of the city’s refuse is handled
through containers while at least
an additional seven percent could
be handled this way, saving the
city $2 million a year.
© Only about half the time
alloted to street sweeping is ac-
tually spent sweeping the streets,
costing the clty as much as $4.7
million in wasted time.
* The use of three men on
& truck Is featherbedding and
trucks outside Manhattan should
be manned by two men.
© Private cartment can do the
work now handled by the public
service at ‘half the cost and the
private cartment should be used
in controlled experiments in city
sanitation

less talks became serious. The
TA would announce that
there was no money to meet
the unton’s ‘exorbitant’ de-
mands.
"Just in the nick of time
a third party would step in,
at the request of the Mayor,
to mediate the dispute, Shop-
pers would be saved, the ne-
gotiations would begin to
build up to a New Year's
climax, Both parties would
be summoned to City Hall;
the mediators would move
from the union to the Mayor
to the unton, building sus-
pense as they went. Finally,
@ settlement wowld be an-
nounced — usually in time
for late TV and radio news
broadcasts and the morning
paper, and Mr. Quill would
declare that the embattled
transit workers had been
victorious.”

Assembly Speaker Perry B.
Duryea said, “This new office,
the first legislative office of its
kind In state history, has been es-
tablished to provide a central
point for making Assembly rec-
ords available for public inform-
ation.
“The increased accessibility of

At the same time, the Speaker
said that he has asked standing

copies of 1973 committee annual
reports to the new office,
The annual reports outline

standing committees during the
1973 legislative session and the
months between the 1973 ad-
journment and the opening of
the 1974 session. They also con-
tain projections of issues to be
considered, and legislation to be
proposed and enacted in the 1974
session.

ALBANY — A number of bills of interest to members
of the Civil Service Employees Assn, will be introduced in
this session of the Legislature.
John C, Rice, CSEA counsel and lobbyist, has been work-
ing with various legislators, putting finishing touches on
wording of the bills to make them acceptable to the
senators and assemblymen who have agreed to act as spon-
sors in the two houses of the State Legislature.
This sponsorship of bills is a routine form of operation
in the workings of the Legislature, and, as part of the legal
process, lobbyists representing special interests such as
those of the Civil Service Employees Assn., are registered
and recognized as a valuable supportive force in the legisla-
tive process,
While these bills listed below represent the bulk of
those pertaining to CSEA members this session, the Asso-
ciation is also expected to take a position on other bills
affecting state and local government employees as soon
as CSEA’s Legislature-watchers become aware of them.
In addition, there are other pieces of legislation on
which the CSEA lobbyists are still working out wording
with potential sponsors.
In the meantime, the bills printed below are the ones
which have already or soon will begin their travels through
the legislative process,

Thomas J. Linden, CSEA col-
lective negotiating specialist who
discussed the union's stand on
these items, stated: 'Manage-
ment has offered a 5'% percent
salary increase, CSEA can justi-
fy much more than that, The
cost of living went up 1 percent
in one month and a total of
almost 10 percent in the year
to date.
“Five and @ half percent was
management's first and last offer
and the membership would never
buy 1, especially when the mem-
bership can see other public
sector employees receiving pay
increases substantially higher than
that inclusive of increments.
‘There is a firm resolve on the
part of the membership not to
simply accept whatever the state
got, but to truly negotiate a fair
and adequate pay increase.”
He continued, “Every contract
should have binding arbitration,
and the Teachers Retirement Sys-
tem is no exception, The Blue
Shield dental plan needs tm-
provement, and the employees
should have the right to refuse
overtime.”

president of the CSBA New York

ter, "We've prepared to go all the

‘The North Babylon campaign

to decertify Local 200, SEIU
(APL-CIO), as the exclusive ne-
gotiating representative for these
employees.
‘The Albany Housing Authority
petitioned PERB in November
1973 to decertify Local 200, SETU,
stating that SEIU no longer rep-
resented a majority of the nego-
tlating unit employees and that
there was no existing collective
agreement between Local 200 and
the Albany Housing Authority,
In response to the petition,
SEIU stated on Dec. 14, 1973, that
it “still claims representation
rights" to the employees and that
tt would provide PERB with proof
of employee support “within the
near future.”
This evidence was not provided
by SEIU in spite of repeated re-
quests by the trial examiner. In
view of this lack of evidence,
SEIU was decertified by PERB
on March 4.
According to John Corcoran,
CSEA regional field supervisor,
who has been following the situ-
ation closely, “It's obvious that
SEIU has proved once again to
be a non-performance union. CS-
EA \s now going ‘o mount an
all-out campaign to provide these
people with the kind of working
union representation they need
and deserve.”
