Elect Irene Carr
CSEA Secretary

ALBANY —Irene Carr has been elected
secretary of the Civil Service Employees

Assn.

Ms. Carr received a unanimous vote from
the CSEA Board of Directors to fill the re-
mainder of the term of Dorothy MacTavish,

who died this summer.

As the runner-up to Ms. MacTavish in the
three-way race for statewide secretary last
year, Ms. Carr was considered to be a logical
choice to fill the unexpired term.

In addition, Ms. Carr is one of the two
secretaries,
rently completing her fourth term as sec-
retary of Central Region V (Syracuse)

The Leader believes CSEA members will

CSEA SECRETARY IRENE CARR

McDonough: ‘Don’t Rap License

ALBANY — Thomas Mc-
Donough, a director of the
Civil Service Employees
Assn. representing employ-
ees of the State Department of
Motor Vehicles, sharply attacked
recent criticism from CSEA
sources against newly imposed
increases in license fees for
drivers convicted of traffic of-
fenses.

CSEA In Albany Region IV

“What these self-styled crit-
jes don't understand,” said Mr.
McDonough, “is that loss of in-
come from the increases would
mean a loss of jobs for about 200
CSEA members. CSEA, as &
union, has to consider the pres-
ervation of its members’ jobs as
its primary concern in this sort
of situation.”

Mr. MeDonough’s comments

Endorses Cholakis, Ashley

ALBANY—The political action committee of Albany Re-
gion IV, Civil Service Employees Assn., in cooperation with
the Rensselaer County CSEA chapter executive board, the
Rensselaer County unit executive board and the Hudson

Valley Community College unit
executive board has endorsed
Tom Cholakis in the Republican
primary for Senator in the 4ist
District.

CSEA locals in the area also
endorsed Danie! Ashley in the
Democratic Primary

Letters indicating these en-
dorsements have been mailed to
the thousands of public employ-
ces in both state and local gov-
ernment jurisdictions who reside
in the District

The letter cites Mr. Cholakis
as being “available for discus-
sion, willing to stand up for
basic rights and no one’s fol-
lower.” The letter also urges
public employees’ support for
politielans who serve the voters,
taxpayers and Citizens fairly,
even if those voters, taxpayers

to the Civil Service Leader came
last week immediately after he
had urged colleagues at a CSEA
Board of Directors meeting to
refrain from any further public
statements against the fee in-
creases. These took effect Sept.
1.

Mr. MeDonough explained
that the jobs threatened by loss
of the fee income were in the
DMV's driver improvement pro-
grams, “programs which exist
specifically to handle suspen-
sions, revocations and other
functions related to the disposi-
tion of traffic offense convic-
tions,

“When Motor Vehicies’ budget
was cut by $1.3 million, these
programs were golng to be drop-
ped, even though they were very
essential. A logical way out was
to have people that necessitated
the programs pick up the tab

Work-To-

Thruway

Rules
Action

Force Pact Talks

ALBANY—Months of frustration over stalled contract
negotiations and what were termed related management
intimidation actions against employees bubbled over into
a threatened “work to rule” action over the Labor Day Week-

end by Thruway Authority em-
ployees, the Civil Service Em-
ployees Assn. said last week.
This led to immediate inter-
vention by the state Public Em-
ployment Relations Board and
the resumption of negotiations.
The CSEA, which represents
the 2,200 toll collectors, mainte-
nance and clerical employees of
the Thruway Authority, called
for the “work to rule” action just
prior to the start of the long
Labor Day holiday. It called the
tactic “a huge success, because

for their continuation. Most traf-
fic offenses are caused by care-
lessness or neglect, Why not put
the cost of handling the after-
math on the offenders?” he
asked.

“What was done made sense
to us. It was right and proper
and, at the same time, the jobs
of more than 200 of our members
were saved in the process, Every-
one in CSEA should be satisfied
with the way things turned out.
If not, let them express their
dissatisfaction as merely person-
al, and not as the official posi-
tion of our organization.”

In addition to representing
DMV-employed. members on the
CSEA Board, Mr. McDonough
also serves us chairman of the
union's state executive commit-
tee, which comprises board rep-

ployee members.

Rockland Unit, Lacking A Pact,
Refuses Charity, Bond Drives

NEW CITY—The Rockland County unit, Civil Service Employees Assn., will, for
the first time, not participate in the county's United Way or U.S. Savings Bond drives.
In a letter to county legislature chairman Bernard Fallon, unit president Patsy
Spicei said that the decision not to participate in the drives was made because of the

financial difficulties faced by
Rockland CSEAers who have
been working for more than
eight months without a contract.

Mr. Spicel’s letter pointed out
that the unit has long been ac-
tive in soliciting contributions
to the two drives. For example,

Suffolk: A ‘No’ To County Pact Offer Budget Posts Exams Set

HAUPPAUGE — The Suf-
folk County chapter of the
Civil Service Employees Assn.
last week rejected a late-
arriving county contract settle-
ment offer,

The offer, CSEA officials said,
was “inadequate.” They added
the union is awaiting delivery of
fact-finders’ reports expected by
the end of this month.

James Corbin, president of the
chapter, said the union negotiat-
ing team felt that to submit the
county proposal to the member-
ship, lacking even a recommen-
dation as to its worth to em-
ployees, would have been “an in-
sult” to the workers.

“We look forward to the re-
ports of the fact-finders,” Mr.
Corbin declared. “We trust that

MINEOLA—A face-to-face
meeting among top officials
of the Nassau County chap-

was set for this week in an ef-
fort to break & deadlock delay-
ing a legislative determination
on a county contract.

The meeting was to be held
by Irving Flaumenbaum, presi-
dent of the Nassau chapter,
Prancis T. Purcell, leader of the
County Board of Supervisors and

County Executive Ralph G. Caso.

It was learned that the board
is attempting to get Mr. Caso to
agree with it on terms for county
employees. The extent and na-
ture of their disagreement was
not known, however.

Mr. Caso had caused @ break-
down of negotiations by insist-
ing on an employee wage freeze,
even after the majority of a
fact-finding panel reported that
‘a 6 percent general pay increase
was needed.

Pact-finding reports were ex-
pected Sept. 20 for the white-
collar group and Sept. 27 for the
blue-collar group.

Contract Issue

CLARKSTOWN —A public

a contract covering employ-

been set for Tuesday, Oct. 12, at
the Clarkstown Town Hall.

The workers, many of them
members of the Civil Service
Employees Assn., have been
without a pact since Jun. 1 and,
under provisions of the Taylor
Law governing such contractual
matters, the county legislature
has the right to impose a one-
year settlement in the matter
as other Taylor Law remedies
have failed. These include ar-
bitration, mediation and fact-
finding.

MH Job Freeze & Cutbacks
Ripped By Roosevelt Chapter

SCHENECTADY—A resolution recently adopted by the Eleanor Roosevelt Develop-
mental Services-O.D. Heck Developmental Center chapter 445, Civil Service Employees
Assn., has condemned the curfent state job freeze at Mental Hygiene facilities.

The resolution also opposed cutbacks in funds which formerly went for transpor-

tation and other programs for
patients.

The freeze and the cutbacks,
the resolution said, “affect our
ability to give adequate service
to clients and community and
create hazardous conditions for
clients and employees alike

For the 1975-76 budget year
of Eleanor Roosevelt Develop-
mental Services, the Depart-
ment of Mental Hygiene allowed
for a staff ceiling of 831 to ef-
fect repatriation of people in
large state institutions back to
their original counties and to de-
velop community programs.

In May 1976, ERDS attained
@ staff level of 769, The region-
al director of the Department
of Mental Hygiene, William
Voorhees, then mandated a hir-
Ing freeze for the agency and
set a new, lower ceiling of 727.

This meant
would be fost.

In the last three months, the
ERDS staff has been reduced
through attrition to 711; the
hiring freeze still has not been
lifted.

“By consistently depriving
Eleanor Roosevelt Developmental
Services of the staff and money
it needs to function, the Depart-
ment ts jeopardizing community
programs and the resettlement
program which has been the
most rapid and successful of its
kind in the state,” the resolution
added. “In addition, budget re-
strictions on Eleanor Roosevelt
Developmental Services makes it
difficult or often impossible to
pay for staff to fill gaps in pro-
gramming caused by vacant po-
sitions not allowed to be filled.

that 42 positions

“Both community and O.D.
Heck-based programs are being
threatened. Less staff means
lower staff-client ratios result-
ing in poor supervision end cus-
todial care rather than devel-
opmental programming.”

The resolution notes that
ERDS employees are overworked
and face work speed up, out of
title work, and rejection of con-
tractual leave requests.

“This has caused a severe de-
cline in workers’ morale which
cin only be detrimental to the
people served by Eleanor Roose-
velt Developmental Services.”

Chapter members assert that
overnight respite programs for
people with disabled family
members and other support ser-
viees provided by ERDS are in

“LULU” RETURNED

Assemblyman John Daly (R-Lewiston) has turned over a $1,000
“lulu” or payment in lieu of expenses issued by the state while rap-
ping Assembly leadership for what he sald was circumventing “lulu”
Payment reforms, Mr. Daly, in a letter to Assembly Speaker Stanley
Steingut, said he had notified the Assembly leaders that he had
rejected his appointment as ranking minority member of a subcom-
mittee studying drug abuse, the post for which the “lulu” would have
qualified him. However, the letter continued, the first installment of
the $1,000 had been paid. Following several lawsuits and adverse
publicity, the Legislature voted in its closing sessions to roll back
the “lulu” payments to 1974 levels and to reduce the number of
legislators who received them. However, the Assembly then amended
its rules to recreate a number of committees and corresponding
“Talus” which had existed in 1974 and thus, were exempt. Mr. Daly
said he was “extremely disappointed” that the Assembly leadership
allegedly “used the back door approach to circumvent the so-called
reforms that they instituted last year.”

How do you keep a healthy smile? Good daily dental hygiene, a
healthy diet, regular check-ups and a good dental plan so you don't
have to worry about dental bills that you can't handle.
It's common sense, really. But all too many people put off regular
check-ups because of the expense. That's where we come in.
As we say, “We've got great plans for you.” Our Dental Care Plan

is only one of them.

After all, the Blues invented pre-paid health care and doesn't it

and Training Act (CETA)—What
it Is, how it is abused. and what
is being done about it. Leader fea-

tures editor Jane Bernstein has
talked to a lot of people who
should know the answers, but found
they don't always agree. This series
will, we hope, clarify some of the
misunderstandings.

By JANE BERNSTEIN
UILT into the Comprehensive
Employment and Training Act
(CETA) are certain safeguards to
minimize the extent of possible

abuses in using CETA funds.

The monies dispensed under Titles
I, II, II and VI are for purposes of
providing training and employment
to the hard-core unemployed, under-
employed and individuals laid off by
a municipality in time of financial
crisis.

An employer may not lay off regu-
sar workers and replace them with
CETA employees. In order to be elig-
ible for a CETA job or training pro-
gram, an individual must be unem-
ployed for at least 30 days, or in
some cases 15 days, and be consid-
ered economically disadvantaged.
Persons who have been unemployed
for great periods of time and are
unable to find jobs because of lack
of skills generally have first con-
sideration for work or training under
CETA,

When a person applies for a posi-
tion, the prime sponsor (the state
or municipality which administers
the CETA program) must review the
application completely, checking
that all data is correct. An inter-
view with the prospective worker is
also necessary to determine eligibil-
ity.

The prime sponsor must also fill
out forms detailing the methods of
recruiting and hiring workers.

The U.S. Department of Labor ap-
points a Manpower Administration
representative to monitor a prime
sponsor and the programs that fall
within the sponsor’s jurisdiction. In
New York City, for example, Man-
power deputy administrator Ray
Herbert is responsible for checking
to see that the city administration
is in compliance with federal regu-
lations,

“We interview participants and
program supervisors,” Mr. Herbert
said. “and we also check payrolls to
insure that things are in order.”

But despite the monitoring of
prime sponsors, which federal offi-
clals admit is not as effective as it
should be in stopping abuses, viola-
tions do occur, and many of these
abuses are politically motivated.

The Manpower Administration in
New York City discovered that seven
people had been hired under CETA
to work at the Office of Neighbor-
hood Services, which is part of the
Human Resources Administration.
The individuals were given the jobs
as political favors, not one of them
being underemployed or lacking in
job skills. After the discovery, all
seven were fired,

“We took action that hopefully
persuaded other city agencies not to
do the same thing,” Mr. Herbert
said. “If this type of thing persisted,
New York City could lose its CETA
funding.”

If a prime sponsor is guilty of

CETA

* Abuse: Hard To Stop,

Harder To Uncover

noncompliance with CETA law, the
federal government supposedly may
stop the money for programs, or
take the programs and funds out of
the jurisdiction of the sponsor and
administer them itself. But the
threat of retribution does not always
act as a deterrent.

In May 1975, Donald Webster,
member of the Civil Service Em-
ployees Assn.’s statewide ad hoc
CETA committee, documented 41
charges of CETA abuse in the City
of Mount Vernon.

Other charges pointed out that
the prime sponsor had not given full
consideration to the hard-core un-
employed before determining who
was to be hired under CETA monies,
and that civil service lists were not
fully reviewed to determine if there
were eligible CETA participants in
them.

Mr. Webster explained another
charge, On occasion, when a muni-
cipality must realize budget savings
to be eligible for either state or fed-
eral aid, it may find it expedient to
make that savings by transferring
a regular city worker from city to
CETA payroll. The employee's title
may change under CETA, Mr. Web-
ster said, but his or her duties re-
main the same. Therefore, a city
may cut its own spending but not
lose the services of a worker.

Mr. Webster charged Mount Ver-
non with this practice of substitut-
ing federal funds for municipal
funds. In addition, he wrote, “. . .
there is a participant who had been
declared ineligible for CETA funds,
and is now back on the city pay-
roll in the same position, but under
another job title.”

CETA law mandates that a regu-
lar civil servant's job may not be
usurped by a CETA worker. But it
is possible to circumvent this pro-
vision of the law by abolishing a
government job title, then substitut-
ing a CETA worker in the same job
with a slightly different title. Tech-
nically, though the duties are the
same, the “title” is not,

Mr. Webster told of an incident in
a city where 17 telephone operators
trained CETA operators who then
replaced them, The telephone op-
erator title was changed to permit
this to occur.

OW then, can this type of CETA

violation be stopped? Whose ul-
timate responsibility is it to insure
that abuses are thwarted or correc-
ted when they exist?

Mr. Herbert, of the New York City
Manpower Planning Council, admits
there is no way of constantly moni-
toring every facet of the various
programs to prevent all abuses, At

Civil Service Employees Assn. statewide
ad hoc CETA committee member Donald
Webster alleges it is a common practice
for a municipality to substitute federal
funds for municipal funds, This, he con-
tends, allows a local government to ap-
pear to cut its own spending while re-
taining needed services.

best, an organization may investi-
gate when a complaint is received.

Robert Lattimer, chairman of the
CESA ad hoc CETA committee,
agrees, as does the Association's
counsel, Marge Karowe.

“We just do not have the time,
money or staff to look into all areas
where possible problems might ex-
ist,” Mr, Lattimer said. “The best we
can do is train people on the local
levels to make them aware of the
violations that can be committed.
Otherwise, we also must act on the
basis of specific complaints and al-
legations.”

It has become more difficult to
spot abuses since the widespread
funding under Title I, officials say.
That title, if the reader will recall,
provides money for public service
jobs. Since payrolls are mixed with
regular civil servants and CETA
workers in the city employ, it has
become harder to tell the players.
CETA employees are performing the
same tasks as municipal workers,
making the two types of employees
indistinguishable from each other.
In order to make sure that individ-
uals under CETA are eligible for
thelr posts, one must examine each

payroll and personnel list of each
municipal agency.

HH may a regular civil service
employee or private citizen de-
termine if an individual is properly
employed under CETA?

The New York State Freedom of
Information Law mandates that cer-
tain records are open to the public.
These include the names, titles and
salaries of municipal workers, ex-
cept those who work for law enforce-
ment agencies. Local municipal
laws also make public their office
checks and books. Section 51 of the
General Municipal Law, which ap-
plies to counties, towns and vil-
lages, makes these records available.

If a worker has been a regular
civil servant and is then switched
to a CETA payroll without having
first been laid off for economic
reasons, the transfer will show on
the agency payroll.

A written request must be made
to the individual in an agency desig-
nated as the Records Access Officer
for a subject matters list. This list
will identify records that may be
examined by the public. These rec-
ords, hopefully, will allow an indi-
vidual to document any charge of
improper CETA hiring that he or she
suspects. This documentation is
vital if action to correct an abuse is
to be taken.

Facts must include names, dates
and titles of specific CETA jobs.

After the information has been
documented, the prime sponsor of
the CETA program in the area
should be contacted and informed
of the violation. If the sponsor is
equipped with these facts, he may
take steps to right the situation,
which may include the firing of the
individual who is improperly em-
ployed, as in the case of the seven
people in the New York City Office
ot Neighborhood Services.

If the prime sponsor does not act
within a reasonable amount of time,
the federal Manpower Planning
Staff in the area should be con-
tacted.

If the person making a complaint
is a member of the CSEA, and has
not had his or her charge answered
satisfactorily by a prime sponsor,
the CSEA legal department in Al-
bany may be alerted and will at-
tempt action.

One item that may aid in discov-
ering abuses is that public disclosure
of participation and staff in the
CETA program is required by the
Manpower Administration.

Areas to study that might be sub-
ject to abuses include duration of
employment, responsibilities of the
prime sponsor, job descriptions, arti-
ficial barriers to employment, elig-
ible applicants, impairment of con-
tracts and substitution of federal
funds for municipal funds.

A copy of memorandum MSD-CL-
35-74 should be obtained from the
Municipal Civil Service Commission
in a specific city. It was issued by
the New York State Department of
Civil Service, and explains all per-
sonnel and civil service responsibili-
ties under CETA. It details those
areas where abuses are most preva-
lent.

Even trying to combat abuses in-
volving CETA pwill not put an end to
the controversy and questions sur-
rounding its programs and partici-
pants.

XACTLY what a CETA worker is

and where he fits in in terms
of the civil service will be exam-
ined in the next and last part of this
series.

Imagination

OB actions and other devices used recently by the Civil
Service Employees Assn. to put a point across to employers
and the public seem to be becoming more imaginative.

Take, for example, the cases of the Rockland County
unit and the New York State Thruway Authority CSEAers.
Employees in both elements have been working without a
contract. The CSEA-Thruway pact expired June 30; in Rock-
land, there has been no contract since Jan. 1.

Last week, Patsy Spicci, president of the Rockland unit,
informed county legislature head Bernard Fallon that, for
the first time, the unit will not participate in the county’s
United Way charity drive nor the U.S. Savings Bond cam-
paign

In his letter, Mr. Spicei observed: “We have fallen
farther and farther behind as the costs of food, housing,
clothing, insurance and other necessities have skyrocketed. .
We can no longer contribute to the charitable causes that
mean so much to us.”

Mr: Spicci did not rule out the participation of the unit
in future drives but warned that when a settlement is
reached, members would carefully assess it and see “how
much, if anything, we will be able to contribute.”

According to United Way records, the unit, in the past
three years, accounted for contributions in excess of $20,000.

However, charity does begin at home. As Mr. Spicci
cogently noted, costs of virtually every good and service have
skyrocketed. Despite the fact that both drives have worth-
while aims, it is unfair and unrealistic to ask employees to
contribute today when their wages are stuck firmly in
yesterday.

The Thruway situation over the Labor Day holiday is
also worth considering. It was a “work to rule” action. In
it, toll takers at booths along the Thruway simply did what
they are authorized to do, in this case, run occasional safety
checks on vehicles. Given the volume of Thruway traffic
over the holiday, however, such a “work to rule” action
carried the potential of causing horrendous traffic jams.

(As an offside, we wonder why, if Thruway officials
wish to avoid such traffic jams, the safety check option
is in the book? Auto safety is a worthy goal but having toll
takers double in brass as vehicle inspectors is, not to put
too fine a point on it, rather dumb.)

Few traffic tie-ups occurred as few inspections were
carried out. We rather think this was because the Thruway
employees were less interested in harassing fellow citizens
than giving the Thruway officials some serious thoughts
to ponder.

At any rate, though, these two situations seem to indi-
cate that effective job actions or other devices used by
public employees should be both imaginative and absolutely
‘unequivocal in meaning, This lesson, we think, may well be
useful to other chapters and units in dealing with obdurate
employers, (C,0'N,)

Questions & Answers

@ Vm getting married this
month. Do I need to tell social
seourlty about my change of
name?

A. It ts important to give your
new name to social security so
your earnings both before and
after the wedding can be cor-
reotly credited to your record.

Call, write, or visit any social
security office to get a form for
making the change, Later you
will receive @ social security card
showing your new name and the
number you now have.

The fact is that the economy
is moving along at a reasonably
fair rate. Inflation has been cut
in half from double-digit rates
to about 6 percent. Industry
profits are good. More people
than ever have jobs and are
gainfully employed.

On the other hand, one of the
key statistics—dealing with the
rate of unemployment—is, a
troubling one. It not only re-
mains high, but it has increased
slightly during the past two
months so that it ts almost at
the 8 percent level. This means
that some 7 million people are
out looking for work and can't
find jobs.

x More Women

‘This poses a dilemma for the
Ford administration. On the one
hand the economy is definitely
growing, a fact that is clearly
sustained by the increasing
American working population.
Obviously, however, the economy
is not moving ahead fast enough
to absorb the even larger num-
bers of people who want to enter
the work force.

Part of the increase in the
number looking for jobs results
from the fact that more women
than ever, whether married or
not, are looking for work. In
addition, there is a flood of
teenagers and college graduates
entering the labor market for
the first time. Obviously those
who are unemployed find little
satisfaction in the statistic that
more people than ever have
found jobs. Obviously, the Ford
campaign headquarters looks
upon every job seeker as a po-
tential anti-Pord voter.

Except for the fact that the
White House becomes the focus
of attention among the unem-
ployed, Governor Carter and his
political and economic advisers
are similarly beset with the same
problem about what to do with
the economy

In a speech to the executive
council of the AFL-CIO, Gov-
ernor Carter tagged unemploy-
ment as the major domestic
problem. He therefore pledged
wholehearted support for the
Humphrey-Hawkins Bill, that
would in effect make the Fed-
eral government the employer of
Jast resort by appropriating bil-
lions of dollars for public works

Major Economic Problem

However, at other places and
times, Governor Carter has pub-
liely agreed with President Ford
that the major economic prob-
lem is not unemployment but
inflation. If that is the view of
Carter and his economic advis-
ors, then the Humphrey-Haw~
kins Bill doses its public signi-
fheance; since it is likely to have
an inflationary impact, by
pumping billions of Federa! dol-
jars into the economy,

So the Democrats are also
confronted with & dilemma. The
Party platform, as adopted by
the convention at Madison
Square Garden, calls in no un-
certain terms for passing of that
bill, The Democrats control both
Houses of Congress, and they
have the opportunity to live up
to thelr platform by passing the
bill now.

Tt bs obvious, however, that
many Democratic Congressmen,
who have been giving lip service
to the Humphrey-Hawkins Bill,
‘are worried about it. So far prog-

An Inheritance Case

From time to time this column will report cases of
general interest to its readers.

THE APPELLATE DIVISION, First Department, has re-
cently held that when a testatrix used the word “issue” in
her will, it included illegitimate children as well as legiti-
mate children. The testatrix died in 1951. She left a will
in which she established a trust for the benefit of her two®
cousins. The trust provided that the income was to be given
to the two cousins, and upon the death of the first one to
die, the income from his one-half share should be paid “to
his issue.” One cousin is still living; the other cousin died
in 1965, leaving a son and a daughter who'received their
father’s share of the income until 1972.

AT THAT TIME, the son died, leaving two illegitimate
children. The son never married the mother of his two chil-
dren, nor was an order of filiation ever entered. The surro-
gate, relying on precedent, decided that the word “issue’ e
when used in a will meant “lawful issue” only, and absent
an intention to the contrary, it could not be assumed that
the testatrix intended to include illegitimate descendants
as the objects of her bounty. He, therefore, denied the right
of the two illegitimate grandchildren of testatrix’s cousin
to inherit.

THE APPEALS COURT recognized in its decision re-
versing the surrogate, that the law was well-settled to the
effect that the word “issue” presumes lawful issue and will
be interpreted otherwise only where there is a clear inten-
tion on the part of the person making the will to include@
illegitimate offspring. In this case, the “issue” in question
were the grandchildren of the income beneficiary.

< ae

IN EARLIER SOCIETY, there was no sense of injustice
in teaching that the sins of the fathers were to be visited
upon their children and succeeding generations. The pre-
sumption in favor of legitimate offspring was designed
to harmonize testamentary language with the social mores
of the time. However, the court perceived a recent change
in attitudes and recent developments in the constitutional
law. The court pointed out that an unfair burden was@
placed upon illegitimates under a will and that such burden
was outmoded and discriminatory and should be rejected.

reat iit

THE NEW YORK CASES on this point were old and
none had gone to the highest court of the state. The court
examined some of these decisions and others where the
courts have attempted by various circuits of reasoning to
extend the scope of “issue” to persons “who were born out
of wedlock but who later were legitimatized in some way...
such as where the parents of the child subsequently mar-
ried.” There has been continuing concern and efforts ve
legislation to protect the rights of children who are born
out of wedlock. The decision gives a detailed listing of stat-

QUESTION

People talk about corruption in politics, hut how extensive do you think
corruption is in other phases‘ of our society?

OPINIONS

@ Dan Campbell. public relations, Civil Service Em-

> will try to rip you off. Since it’s

ployees Assn.: “Corruption has
been in society and democracy
since Rome. It’s an accepted
fact that politicians basically
run on a reform ticket to win.
However, they never perform
what they say they are going
to. The first politician to really
reform the government will
most likely end up as the pre-
vious leaders of Rome: very
dead, very fast. As far as in

other phases of our seciety, I truly feel there is
@ resurgence of morality and ethics, After Water-
gate, I think people are looking for the semi-
honest, semi-respectable person who hasn't let the
public down yet. We're more skeptical and less
trusting today, It will take generations to change
that feeling, though.”

Cathy Hahn, travel agent: “I really think cor-

ruption is a tough term to use
because it’s accepted that people

accepted, it really isn't consid-
ered corruption anymore. I
must admit that I would leave
my car unlocked here in Al-
bany, while I would never do
it in New York City. Yet, I
would never walk at night on
the streets here, and I am not
afraid to walk at night in New

York City. Most people consider themselves honest
even though they have changed their values. I
fear that most people are not aware of how far
off track they have become.”

Pete Walsh, attorney: “I feel that corruption has

filtered down into all phases of
our society. There has been a .
breakdown in the moral fiber
of many people. People tend to
follow the lead of their leaders,
and when they see widespread
corruption on the highest levels,
the authoritative level that
they look for, then they feel re-
leased from the single obliga-
tion to avoid corruption. The

general attitude is if the highly —*

paid public officia) can avoid prosecution for cor-
ruption, then there is no reason for the average

man not to take the risk.”

Ruth Lovegrove. senior file clerk, Commerce De-

partment: “I suppose a lot of
people, after reading about how
politicians cheat on their in-
come tax, feel, ‘If he got away
with it, why can't I?’ But I
still feel that everyone has
some good in them; they can’t
be bad all the time. Everyone's
got good in them. Only today,
you just have to dig a little
deeper to find it in some people.
We didn’t hear about corrup-

ton before. Now when it happens, it’s so well
publicized, everyone knows about it. Corruption
has been hidden in the closet and it’s coming out
into the open, that’s all. People are probably the
same, but the news reporting is better.”

David Gillette, technical director, public television

“I definitely feel that corrup-
tion exists in politics. Once I
was denied a government job
because of behind-the-scenes
corruption, In my personal life
I feel my friends are the same
as they always were. I'm a law-
abiding citizen and I don’t run
into many people who are law
benders. I have a pretty optim-
istic view of people, and I don't
feel that the society is jaded

because of the exposed corruption in politics. I
feel the Better Business Bureau has kept corrup-
tion in merchandising down by keeping a close eye
on the industry.”

Don Tissinger, computer programmer: “I don't

think corruption has gone very
far in our society. I think that
the number of people who
stretch the tax laws is about
the same. As far as business,
I think if you go to a reputable
dealer, your chances of getting
taken are small. If he is estab-
lished in the community, then
you have various newspaper
and media approaches which
tend to keep businesses on their

toes, I find that if I buy a product and some-
thing malfunctions, I can get my money back or

exchanged without any trouble at all.”

‘The titles and levels of these

ress on the bill has been at a

snail's pace. With Congress
scheduled to adjourn on Oct. 2,
there isn't much time left to act.

There is no doubt that Presi-
dent Pord would veto the bill if
Congress were to approve it.
This would draw a clear line
between the Republicans and
Democrats on economic policy.
However, too many Democrats
in Congress are not prepared to
draw such a sharp line.

Of course, if Congress fails to
act on the bill, it would open up
the opportunity for President
Ford to taunt the Democrats for
faiting to live up to their plat-
form

At the moment, the economic
programs of both President Ford
and Governor Carter ure murky.
This in part accounts for the
fact that the stock market has
been jittery, beset with uncer-
tainties, as the market is, about
the economic policies that will
guide the next administration

The forthcoming debates be-
tween President Ford and Gov-
ernor Carter may provide some
clues to the direction in which
each ts headed. What is particu-

what the unemployment figures

ally present at a Board Meeting
and who is entitled to vote in
more than one capacity, shall
have the right to a proxy; pro-
vided, however, that he may cast
one vote for each office or ca-
pacity he represents.”}

the By-Laws, Article II, Section
8, PROXIES.

bered to Section 4.

bered to Section 5.

years in the manner prescribed in
the by-laws. They shall hold office

the term by the Board of Direc-
tors.”

Note: This amendment was
made by Bernard Schmah! dur-
ing the March, 1976 Delegates’
Meeting. The amendment was
proposed in order to conform to
the Restructuring Committee
Report on the state elections,
recommending that State elec-
tions be held in September thus
removing the election date from
the time when the contracts
with the State expire on April 1.

Article VI, Section I:

“Section 1, STATE EXECUTIVE

authority to transact business re-
lating to state employees shall, ex-
cept as provided herein, be vested

shall consist of the officers of the
Association, and one representa-
tive from each State Department.
The Judiciary, [the Legislature},
the State University, the Water-
front Commission and state pub-
lic authorities as one unit, shall be
deemed State Departments. The
Faculty Student Associations,
Teachers’ Retirement System, and
the Higher Education Assistance
Corporation shall as a unit be
deemed a State Department. In
addition to the foregoing, each
State Department with more than
3,000 members as of January 1 in
an odd-numbered year, shall for
the term of office beginning the
following July, be entitled to one
representative on the State Execu-
tive Committee for each 3,000
members or major fraction there-
of. The State Executive Commit-
tee shall elect from its member-
ship one member to be known as
the Chairman of the State Execu-
tive Committee. The State Execu-
tive Committee may create one or
more subcommittees to perform
such duties as the State Executive
Committee shall delegate. Each
department representative shall
be elected by ballot by the mem-
bers in his department in the
manner prescribed in the By-
Laws. No person shall be eligible
for nomination unless he shall
have been a member in good
standing of the Association on or
before June Ist of the year pre-
ceding the year in which the elec-
tion is held. They shall hold office
for a term of two years or until

fied [, except that for the election
to be held in 1973, the term shall
be for one year and 9 months, end-
ing June 30, 1975, or until their

term by the members of the Asso-
ciation employed in such depart-
ment at a special election to be
called by the Board of Directors
within fourteen days after the
first meeting of the Board subse-
quent to the time that such va~
cancies occur under rules estab-
lished by the Board.”

Note: It is the Committee's rec-
ommendation to delete “the
Legislature” since the Board
representative resigned and the
number of individuals represent-
ed number approximately fif-
teen. The second deletion is
made merely to eliminate ob-
solete wording.

6. Article VI, Section 2:

“Section 2, NOMINATIONS. The
State Division members of the
Nominating Committee selected in
accordance with Article IV, Sec-
tion [6] 5 of this Constitution shall

each political subdivision in a
chapter shall be entitled, if they
have 200 members or 50 percent of
the employees within the division
as members, whichever is smaller,
with minimum of 75 members, to
the formation of a unit. (Such
unit shall receive a portion of the
refund of the dues which shall be
determined within the discretion
of the parent county chapter.)
Other units may be organized as
the Board of Directors or Execu-
tive Council of the chapter may
determine is in the best interests
of the members involved. Each
unit shall be entitled to elect its

By-Laws, Article IV, Section
3(b).

8. Article VIII:
“(Meetings of] Delegates”
“(Section 1, DELEGATES.]"
REST OF ARTICLE REMAINS
SAME.

THE FOLLOWING ITEMS ARE
PRESENTED TO THE DELE-
GATES BY THE COMMITTEE
AS PROPOSED AMENDMENTS
TO THE CONSTITUTION. THE
PRESENTATION TO THE
DELEGATES AT THIS MEET-
ING CONSTITUTES A FIRST
READING OF THESE AMEND-
MENTS.

1. The Committee received the fol-
lowing amendment to Article IV,
Section 6(a) of the Constitution as
follows:

“(a) ELECTION. Officers of the
Association shall be elected by a
majority of the total votes cast
for each individual office, by sec-
ret ballot in odd-numbered years
in the manner prescribed in the
by-laws. They shall hold office for
a term of two years or until their
successors shall have qualified,
commencing July Ist in an odd-
numbered year. Vacancy in the of-
fice of President shall be filled by
the Executive Vice President.”
REST OF SECTION REMAINS
THE SAME.

After consultation with the Re-

of this amendment due to the
potential costs involved in con-
ducting a second election.

2. The Committee received the fol-
lowing amendment to Article IV,
Section 6(b)3 of the Constitution as
follows:

“(b) NOMINATIONS,

3. Such election shall be by secret
ballot, The names of the commit-
tee members selected by the var-
ious Regions shall be filed with
the Secretary and Executive Di-
rector of the Association not later
than January Ist, The Nominating
Committee shall select at least two
nominees for the offices of Presi-
dent, Executive Vice President,
Secretary and Treasurer. The
Nominating Committee must sel-

ect a nominee from the State Di-
vision and a nominee from the
County Division for each statewide
office. The State Division mem-
bers of the Nominating Commit-
tee shall also select at least two
nominees for each position on the
State Executive Committee. In all
cases an incumbent shall be one
of said nominees if he consents to
become a candidate. No nominee
shall be eligible as a candidate
for more than one statewide of-
fice, However, a position on the
State Executive Committee or
County Executive Committee shall
not be deemed a statewide office.”
The Committee is not recom-
mending for or against the
adoption of this amendment.

3. The Committee received the fol-
lowing amendment to Article V of
the Constitution entitled “Regions”
as follows:

“REGIONS
“For purposes of internal organi-
zation of The Civil Service Em-
ployees Association, Inc., the state
shall be divided into six regions as
follows:
1, Long Island Region: Nassau
and Suffolk.
2. (New York City) Metropolitan
Region: Richmond, Kings, New
York, Queens and Bronx.
3. Southern Region: Westches-
ter, Orange, Dutchess, Ulster,
Rockland, Putnam, and Sulli-
van.
~ 4. [Albany] Capital District Re-
gion: Clinton, Essex, Warren,
Hamilton, Washington, Sarato-
ga, Schenectady, Montgomery,
Albany, Schoharie, Greene, Col-
umbia, Rensselaer and Fulton.
5. [Syracuse] Central Region:
Broome Cayuga, Chemung, Che-
nango, Herkimer, Cortland, Del-
aware, Franklin, Jefferson, Lew-
is, Madison, Oneida, Onondaga,
Otsego, Schuyler, Seneca, St.
Lawrence, Tioga, Tompkins and
Oswego.
6. [Buffalo] Western Region:
Niagara, Orleans, Monroe,
Wayne, Erie, Genesee, Wyoming,
Livingston, Ontario, Yates,
Chautauqua, Cattaraugus, Alle-
gany, and Steuben.
All chapters shall be members of
the region in which the chapter
headquarters is located.” REST OF
SECTION REMAINS THE SAME.
The Committee recommends
adoption of these amendments
in view of the fact that the
current trend appears to be to
refer to the six Regions as geo-
graphical areas and not merely
by major cities.

4. The Committee received the fol-
lowing amendment to Article VI,
Section 1 of the Constitution en-
titled “State Executive Committee.”

in a State Executive Committee.
The State Executive Committee
shall consist of the officers of
the Association, and one represen-
tative from each State Depart-
ment. The Judiciary, the Legisla-
ture, the State University, the
Waterfront Commission and state
public authorities as one unit,
shall be deemed State Depart-
ments, The Faculty Student Asso-
ciations[,| and Teachers’ Retire-
ment System [, and the Higher
Education Assistance Corporation]
shall as a unit be deemed a State
Department. In addition to the
foregoing, each State Department
with more than 3,000 members as
of January | in an odd-numbered
CONSTITUTION AND BY-LAWS

year, shall for the term of office
beginning the following July, be
entitled to one representative on
the State Executive Committee for
each 3,000 members or major
fraction thereof.” REST OF SEC-
TION REMAINS THE SAME.
The Committee recommends
adoption of this amendment
since the Corporation name was
changed by New York State and
they were incorporated into the
New York State Education De-
partment and should now be
represented by the Education
Board members.

5. The Committee received the fol-
lowing amendment to Article VI,
Section 1 cf the Constitution en-
titled “State Executive Committee”:
“Section 1. STATE EXECUTIVE
COMMITTEE: The power and
authority to transact business and
establish policy relating to state
employees shall, except as pro-
vided herein, be vested in a State
Executive Committee. The State
Executive Committee shall con-
sist of the officers of the Associa-
tion, and one representative from
each State Department.” REST OF
SECTION REMAINS THE SAME.
The Committee recommends de-
feat of this amendment because

of the inherent conflicts, Le.,
one division not knowing what
the other is doing, and that this

is one more step in dividing
CSEA into two separate entities.

6. The Committee received the fol-
lowing amendment to Article VII,
Section 1 of the Constitution en-
titled “County Executive Commit-
tee”:
“Section 1, COUNTY EXECUTIVE
COMMITTEE. The power and
authority to transact business and
establish policy relating to em-
ployees of the political subdivi-
sions of the state shall, except as
otherwise, provided herein, be
vested in a County Executive Com-
mittee which shall consist of the
officers of the Association and
one representative from each
County Division Chapter, and one
County Educational Chapter Rep-
resentative from each CSEA Re-
gion elected by the County Edu-
cational Chapter members within
each region.” REST OF SECTION
REMAINS THE SAME.
The Committee recommends de-
feat of this amendment because
of the inherent conflicts, Le.
one division not knowing what
the other is doing, and that this
is one more step in dividing
CSEA into two separate entities.

ing of Delegates is not available
to CSEA Headquarters 30 days
prior to the opening date of a
Delegates’ Meeting.

BY-LAWS

THE FOLLOWING ITEMS ARE
PRESENTED TO THE DELE-
GATES BY THE COMMITTEE

AS PROPPOSED AMEND-
MENTS TO THE BY-LAWS. IF
PASSED AT THIS MEETING,
THEY WILL BECOME EFFEC-
TIVE IMMEDIATELY.

1. The Committee received two pro-
posed amendments to Article I, Sec-

tion 1, “President” of the By-Laws
as follows:
“Section 1: PRESIDENT. The

employer for the cost of such
leave. His signature shall be re-
quired on all contracts and on all

of selection is otherwise directed
or provided. He shall give a surety
bond, at the expense of the Asso-
ciation, in an amount fixed by
the Board of Directors. He shall
by September first of each year
furnish to each member of the
Board of Directors a proposed
budget consisting of an itemized
statement of estimated revenues
and anticipated and proposed ex-
penditures for the [then current]
ensuing fiscal year.
The first amendment dealing
with the deletion of responsibil-
ity for the organization and di-
rection of the staff of the As-
sociation and with the direction
and supervision of the collection
of dues is based on the premise
that these are duties of the Ex-
ecutive Director and the Comp-

pl acaly vapor nang opi tres ag

“Board of Directors”:
“Section 2. BOARD OF DIREC-
TORS. Meetings of the Board of
Directors shall be held (upon call
of the President) four times per
year. Upon written request of five
or more members of the Board of
Directors, the President shall call
a special meeting of the Board.”
The Committee recommends de-
feat of this amendment on the
basis that this is a matter for
the Board of Directors to decide
since they are most knowledg-
able as to how often and when

they should meet.

4. The Committee received the fol-
lowing amendment to Article II,
Section 2 of the By-Laws as follows:
“Section 2. BOARD OF DIREC-
TORS. Meetings of the Board of
Directors shall be held upon call
of the President. Upon written re-
quest of [five] ten or more mem-
bers of the Board of Directors, the
President shall call a special meet-
ing of the Board.”
The Committee recommends
adoption of this amendment on
the basis that ten represents a
reasonable requirement for call-
ing a special meeting in view
of the costs involved.

5. The Committee received the fol-
lowing amendment to Article II,
Section 4 of the By-Laws as fol-
lows:
“Section 4: STATE EXECUTIVE
COMMITTEE. Meetings of the
State Executive Committee shall
be held upon call of the President.
Upon the written request of [five]
ten or more members of the State
Executive Committee, the Presi-
dent shall call a special meeting
of the Committee.”
The Committee recommends
adoption of this amendment on
the basis that ten represents a
reasonable requirement for call-
ing a special meeting in view
of the costs involved.

6, The Committee received the fol-
lowing amendment to Article Il,
Section 5 of the By-Laws as follows:

County Executive Committee shall
be held upon call of the President.
Upon the written request of [five]
ten or more members of the Coun-
ty Executive Committee, the Pres-
ident shall call a special meeting
of the Committee.”

reasonable requirement for call-

1. The Committee received recom-
mendations to delete in its entirety
Section 6(c) of Article II of the By-
Laws as follows:

of the Association

each year between January 1 and
June 1.")

The Committee recommends de-

feat of this amendment but

would recommend that the Bud-

get Committee study such a
Proposal.

“Section 6: SPECIAL MEETINGS.
{(c) The President shall call a spe-
cial meeting

8. The Committee received the fol-

lowing amendment to Article IV,

Reation 3(c) of the By-Laws as fol-
ws:

“(c) REFUNDS TO REGIONS.
Each region of the Association
shall receive from the Treasurer
an annual payment of (ten)
twenty cents per member of the
dues collected from the member-

ship in such region. In the event
that a region adopts a plan for
assessing the chapters within its
region, the State Treasurer may,
upon notification by the Regional
Treasurer that a chapter is delin-
quent in its regional assessments,
deduct that assessment from the
chapter's direct rebate from the
Association and transmit, upon
approval of the Board of Directors,
the assessment to the Regional
Treasurer.”
After consultation with the
Budget Committee, the Com-
mittee recommends defeat of
this amendment on the basis
that insufficient funds are
available to implement this
amendment.

9. The Committee received two
amendments to Article VI, Section 1
of the By-Laws entitled “Standing
Committees” to read as follows:
“Section 1: STANDING COMMIT-
TEES. The Standing Committees
of the Association shall be as fol-
lows: Insurance Committee, Legal
Committee, Revision of Constitu-
tion and By-Laws Committee, Re-
tirees Committee, Convention
Committee, Political and Legisla-
tive Action Committee, [Grievance]
Committee,] Pension Committee,
{Salary Committee,] Committee to
Restructure CSEA, and Education
and Training Committee.” REST
OF SECTION REMAINS THE
SAME.
The Committee recommends
adoption of these amendments
based on the fact that (1) the
Grievance Committee has no
real viable function since griev-
ances are covered under the
grievance procedures outlined
in the contracts between CSEA
and the State of New York, and
(2) the Salary Committee 1s,
and has been, historically only
for usage in one CSEA division
which no longer justifies its
continuance under the strict
guideline of a standing com-
mittee as outlined in Section
1(a) and Section 1(d) of Article
VI.

10. The Committee received a pro-
posed amendment to Article VI, Sec-
tion 3 of the By-Laws entitled “Ne-
gotiating Committees.” The recom-
mendation was to create wording
with regard to all division bargain-
ing entities. After much discussion,
the Committee voted that such an
amendment would be too burden-
some as there are approximately 600
different negotiating units. As an
alternative, the Committee xenon
mends the following amendment

“Section 3: STATE NEGOTIATING

COMMITTEES.

in addition to any other duly cer-
tified state bargaining unit or
units which CSEA may be elected
to represent. All appointments to
the Negotiating Committees shall
be made by the President upon
the advice and consent of the ap-
Propriate Regional Executive
Board.”

1. The following amendment was
proposed to Article VI, Section 4 of
the By-Laws entitled “Special and
Ad Hoc Committees’ inasmuch as
the wording contained in the sec-
tion is presently applicable only to
Special Committees. Ad hoc com-
mittees, by definition, are formed
for a particular end or case at hand
and are not appointed for a specific
period of time.

CIVIL SERVICE LEADER, Friday, September 17, 1976

CSEA’s Thruway ‘Work-To-Rules’ Job Action

(Continued from Page 1)
tion of negotiations. That had
been our goal all along.”

The PERB entered the dispute
quickly, calling an official im-
passe in contract talks Sept. 3
and immediately naming David
C. Randies as a mediator-fact-
finder to resolve the dispute.

‘Until the CSEA threatened to
“work to rule” over the holiday,
contract talks between it and
the Thruway had been stalled
for more than three months,
ever since management walked
away from the bargaining table
on June 1.

Although delays did occur at
various points along the Thru-
way over the Labor Day week-
end, it was primarily caused by
heavy traffic itself plus the fact
that toll booths were not fully
manned as the workforce is un-
derstaffed. The “work to rule”
concept was completely volun-
tary, and was enforced greater
in some areas than in others.
State Police and press credited
traffic delays in the Buffalo and
Yonkers areas, especially, to em-
ployees “working to rule.”

Rev. Randles got the contract
talks on target quickly, meeting
with both sides on Sept. 8, and
providing for negotiations with-
out benefit of his mediation until
Sept. 21. At that time, he will
again meet with both sides and
gin mediation on all unre-
solved differences.

The CSEA's chief negotiator

Buffalo Area
Retiree Meet

BUFFALO—A meeting of
the Buffalo-Niagara Frontier
Retirees chapter 903, Civil
Service Employees Assn., will
be held Tuesday, Sept, 21, at
the Hotel Lennox, 140 North St.,
Buffalo, according to chapter
president Mary Gormley.

A dutch treat luncheon has
been set for noon to be followed
at 1:30 p.m. by a business meet-
ing. Paul Merkling, a represen-
tative of the Ter Bush & Powell
Insurance Co., will speak on
CSEA retirees’ hospital indem-
nity and HMfe insurance plans.

for the Thruway talks, Patrick
Monachino, said negotiations be-
tween the union and the Thru-
way are scheduled for three days
this week and several days again
next week In an effort to iron
out an agreement before formal
medintion begins Sept, 21.

“We've tried to get manage-
ment to come back to the bar-
gaining table ever since they
walked ay on June 1, and
now that we've finally got them
back you can bet we're willing
to conduct serious and positive
negotiations,” Mr.* Monachino
said.

Mr. Monhchino said the union
is re-entering negotiations in a
much stronger position than
when talks broke off orm June 1

“Several months ago Manage-
ment thought the employees
would cave in to thelr intimida-
tion, but now management re-
alizes those tactics pushed em-
ployee morale dangerously low
while uniting the employees to-
gether

“Management got 4 tremen-
dous shock when the employees

rose up in anger Labor Day

Elect Irene Carr CSEA Secretary

(Continued from Page 1)

After serving CSEA for many years in
various capacities, I now seek the office of
Secretary. I have been active in the Oneonta
Chapter as Secretary, Delegate, and now
President for six years. I do not plan to
seek this office again because other mem-
bers must be encouraged to hold office. The
potential growth of CSEA depends on the
active participation of our younger mem-
bers, and they certainly will become dis-
couraged if they cannot have an active voice
in the organization.

T have participated in CSEA on a Regional
basis and Statewide basis as follows:

Recording Secretary of Region 5 for six
years

Chairman of the Hospitality Committee
of the Region for six years

Member of the Safety Committee of the
Administrative Unit

Presently serving as Chairman of the So-
cial Attivities of the conventions with-
in the Convention Committee.

Most of the delegates to the conventions
will recognize me from these social activ-
ities; I feel I have carried out these duties
conscientiously and would now like to work
for CSEA in a further capacity as Secretary.

Most of my years with the New York State

Department of Health have been spent em-
ployed in an executive secretarial capacity.
While it is not essential to be a secretary
for this office, I am a secretary and proud
of it, and do not feel it should be a detri-
ment. After graduating from business col-
lege some time ago, I am now pursuing an
associate degree in applied sciences through
negotiated CSEA educational benefits.

We, as an organization, are entering an
era, a time in which our many problems
will tend to not only be multiplied but mag-
nified. Negotiations and representation
rights not being the least of our problems
must be faced head on daily. Our many
problems must be faced up to, understood,
and walked into, not around. Anything
worthwhile is worth the fight and effort it
takes to be accomplished.

The time has come for a change. For too
long now we, in this Association, have ac-
cepted a self-perpetuation of the same
Statewide officers. I ask you for an oppor-
tunity to help, to participate, to be allowed
to make the effort required to continue
CSEA as the biggest, best and toughest pub-
lic employee union in this country. With the
expertise gained over the years of service
with CSEA, I am capable of fulfilling the
duties of Secretary in an efficient and con-
scientious manner, and I ask for your vote.

weekend. They decided to come
back to the table just as quickly
ax they could get there to try
and cool the employees off. Now
the employees have the respect
of management, and that’s im-
portant in negotiating a new
contract,” he declared.

The prior contract covering
the 2,200 employees expired June
30. and Thruway management
apparently irritated employees
thereafter by refusing to honor

several key areas of the prior
contract.

“We got some concessions back
in agreeing to resume talks over
the Labor Day weekend, und I'm
hopeful we'll be negotiating this
week with the rest of the pre-
vious contract intact,” Mr. Mon-
achino said. “Management made
many mistakes throughout this
dispute. I'm hopeful they'll cor-
rect them now that serious talks
have resumed,

Rockland Unit, Citing No
Pact, Will Not Contribute

(Continued from Page 1)
Rockland County chapter presi-
dent John Mauro has been a
member of the board of direc-
tors of United Way of Rockland
County since 1975.

“However,” Mr. Spicci wrote,
“on behalf of the 1,750 county
employees represented by the
CSEA, I must inform you that
our economic situation has
changed drastically in the past
12 months. We have fallen far-
ther and farther behind as the
costs of food, housing, clothing,
insurance and other necessities
have skyrocketed.

“Working without a contract
since Jan. 1. we can no longer
contribute to the charitable
cxuses that mean so much to
us,

“Therefore, it is with regret
that I am urging my fellow
county employees not to partici-
pate in either the United Way
or the Savings Bonds drives this
year; not until the legislative
hearing is over and we can see
what the settlement contains and
how much, if anything, we will
be able to contribute.”

A legislative hearing has been
set for Tuesday, Oct. 12 at 8 p.m.
at the Clarkstown High School,
after which the county légista-
tors will impose a one-year set-
tlement on the workers. The
hearing is the last step under
the state's Taylor Law, which
governs contract negotiations for
public employees. The law states
that in cases in which the two
sides cannot agree on the terms
of a new contract, the legisla-
tors can impose a one-year set-
tlement after a hearing,

Spicei Letter

Mr. Spicei said in his letter,
“I assure you that the donation
to United Way and the purchase
of Savings Bonds by county em-
ployees will be in direct propor-
tion to our ability to contribute.
We sincerely hope that these
worthy causes realize their best
year ever, Whether they do or
not will be determined only after
the terms of the settlement have
been decided.”

County employees have do-
nated more than $20,000 to the
United Way drive in the past
three years, records show.

adoption of this amendment.

the By-Laws entitled “Committees”
which would add a new section to

“Section 5, COMMITTEES. No

basis that it is an unworkable
amendment and too difficult to
control.

such action is specifically auth-
orized by the Board of Directors
("Section 2, Whenever a strike,
picketing, demonstration, any
concerted stoppage of work or

is authorized by the Board of Di-

provision shall apply to all Coun-

In view of recent Taylor Law
Penalties imposed against the
Association and upon recom-

this Article of the By-Laws

The Committee jusly
recommends adoption of this

CSEA STRENGTH

IN UNITY

MEMBERSHIP DRIVE
JUNE 1-NOVEMBER 30

Never in the history of our union has it been so
vital to stick together — grow together and share the
load to keep us strong. In these tough times, the
greater the percentage of membership of any county
unit or chapter, the greater the strength at the bar-
gaining table. The greater the percentage of state
employees belonging to CSEA, the greater the
strength of the state bargaining units.

Therefore, we are offering members in good stand-
ing a cash incentive to recruit new members. There is
no limit to the number of new members you may sign
up. And while the cash incentive is nice to receive,
the most important factor is the strength you will be
helping to build for you and your fellow worker.

ONE (Member) WILL GET
YOU FIVE ($5)

For each new member you sign up between June 1
and November 30, CSEA will award you $5.00. After
you have signed up the new member he must be on
the payroll for four bi-weekly pay periods or the
equivalent thereof. Many members are planning their
Christmas shopping around this membership drive.
The Christmas Club bonuses for all members signed
up before September 15 will be paid on December
15th. The second payoff, for new members signed
between mp 16 and November 30, will take
place on February 15

ord all the necessary information. Send your cards in
as soon as you sign up a new member — and we'll
credit your account with $5.00 for each member
signed up.

We'll keep your account up to date and will return
to you, in writing, a receipt for each new member
you've signed up.

Only CSEA members in good standing as of June
1, 1976, may recruit new members during this drive.
New members must work in a unit of government
represented by CSEA. So we urge you CSEA mem-
bers —go to it—start signing up non-members for
cash in your pocket and security in your future.

NON-MEMBERS SHOULD
HELP SHARE THE LOAD

If you’re a non-member, we ask you to think of
this: sharing the load in these tough times is im-
portant. Legally, we represent you — at the bargain-
ing table — and even in processing grievances. And
we need your support — morally and financially —to
fight the battles ahead. Our dues are most reason-
able for the services provided...services which
benefit you in many ways.

So help us share the load by signing up with us.
CSEA —the most powerful force in New York State
working for public employees.
