Still GO On April 18 Strike
Negotiators Turn Down Two Attempts
ci : ~
By KENNETH SCHEPT
(a) To Sidetrack CSEA Strike Momentum
ALBANY—The Civil Service Employees Assn. accelerated its strike preparations last
week by denying a request to postpone the April 18 strike deadline, and by rejecting a
new settlement offer proposed by Gov. Hugh Carey.
The postponement request came from Senator John Marchi and Assemblyman Ste-

phen. Greco, co-chairmen of the
ad hoc legislative committee
named to consider the contract
dispute between the CSEA and
the state. The legislators had
lsked that hearings begin after
their Easter recess, on April 18,
the day scheduled for the strike.
Leaders of the union's four
bargaining units refused to ac-
commodate the legislators’ re-
quest and expressed the hope
that hearings be planned before
the April deadline. A new hear-
ing date has not been set and
the legislature is currently in
recess.

the home of Mr. Marchi on

How Will Individual Strikers Be Affected?
At a meeting last week at 2 World Trade Center, Manhattan, Theodore
C. Wenzl, president of the Civil Service Employees Assn., advised the union
members there that the commitment to strike is a matter of conscience
for each individual. Such a consequential decision requires facts; below is
a compendium of some of the most pertinent strike-related questions and
answers as compiled by The Leader from various sources.
If I strike, will I be penalized under the Taylor Law?
Included in the strike motion passed by the CSEA delegates was a
provision which declared that union members would not return to work
until amnesty was guaranteed for all.
Are there financial penalties under the Taylor Law?
The state can deduct two days pay for each day it determines that
you were on strike. In addition, the second, the penalty day, is considered
income by Internal Revenue, even though you do not receive it.
Is there « probation period imposed under the Taylor Law?
Yes, the probation extends one year from the time your participation
in a strike is determined.
Do I lose my rights during the probation period?
> No. Your rights in the following areas are not affected: pension bene-
fits, retirement, promotion, examination, leave, seniority, preferred list
eligibility, salary benefits.
Is it easy for the state to fire me during the probation period?
No. Removal from a job must be for reasons of misconduct or incom-
petency as stated in Section 75 of the Civil Service Law: The employee must
be notified of the charges and given a hearing. An unfavorable decision
may be appealed in the courts.
I am currently on probation. Is it a greater risk for me to par-
ticipate in the strike than for a permanent employee?
No. Your situation is no different than that of a permanent employee:
the state threatens you with no other sanctions; the union offers you
equal protection.
What can I say to people who tell me they are sympathetic to the
strike, but cannot afford to participate?
Tell them that they cannot afford not to participate.
If I do not participate in the strike, is it possible for me to be
penalized by the state?
Yes. Management personnel will have to fill in for the massive number

Wenzl Pledges Strike Support
To Metropolitan NYC CSEAers
By KENNETH SCHEPT
MANHATTAN—“There’s no stopping now, we're ready to go,” is the way Theodore
©. Wenzl, statewide president of the Civil Service Employees Assn. characterized the
momentum of the impending April 18 strike to members of Metropolitan Region II assem-
bled in a packed state meeting room on the 44th floor of the World Trade Center last week.
Dr. Wenzl answered questions
from the rank and file and as-
sured them of his support.
“We in Albany will do every-
thing we can,” he said. “But the
success of this strike depends
ultimately on you people. Each
region must work out the details
of its strike effort.”
Vincent Rubano, the region's
first vice-president, called for
the membership to ignore any
internal strife that the pending
union elections might generate.
“Only through solidarity will
we mount a successful strike,
and we must be successful,” he
sald.
Mr. Rubano reported that he
felt great momentum being gen-

saying they want an appendix

Yes.

I have recently joined the CSEA. If I strike will I receive legal
protection?
Yes. Although normally dues must be deducted for two periods before
eligibility for legal protection is established, that provision will be waived
because of the extraordinary circumstances.
People I have spoken with have threatened to cross our picket
lines. What can I tell them?
Tell them to respect your lines and be part of the solution, rather than
part of the problem.
If I decide not to participate in the strike, are there penalties that
will I know?

Urge Heavy CSEA Vote In Rockland Challenge
NEW CITY — The 1,450
members of the Rockland
County unit of the Civil Ser-
vice Employees Assn. have
rallied around their union in a
representation election that will
be settled by mail ballot on April
2
The CSEA has set up a series
of meetings with each section of
county employees so that union
representatives can answer ques-
tions, detail the election time-
table, and explain the import-
ance of an overwhelming turn-
out for the CSEA.
The challenger in the election
is an outside group called Build-
ing Service Employees Interna-
tional Union—a union that the
CSEA has beaten dozens of times
in elections among county, town,
village, school district and state
employees.
One vital point being brought
out by the CSEA at the sections
meetings is that, from April 13
through April 19, eligible voters
in the Rockland County repre-
sentation election who have still
not received their ballot from the
Public Employment Relations
Board must call PERB collect at
(518) 4657-8363 or 457-3440.
PERB will send a replacement
ballot to such employees, Ballots
were mailed to the employees by
PERB on April 6. Some employees
have already reported to the
CSEA that they have received
envelopes from PERB that lack
either the actual ballot or one
ment that we are truly united.
If we show that there are little
splinter groups or factions of
employees among us,
with the county for a new con-
tract, Mr. Spicei said.
Section meetings already held
by the CSEA include one for the
social services workers at the
Sheraton Nanuet, at which the
guest speaker was Haywood
Quann, of the statewide CSEA
social services committee. Mr.
Quann, of Nassau County, point-
ed out that with nearly 100 per-
cent CSEA membership and an
active participation by union
members in his county, Nassau
social services workers are among
the highest-paid in the state.

Why is this program offered?
Surgical Consultations can be expensive. The cost of a sec-

seeking consultations. The Second Surgical Consultation Pro-
gram removes this cost barrier by paying the full cost of a con-

test required to complete the consultation will also be paid.
All surgery involves certain risks. In some cases, the consul-

Outside Interference
ET there be no hasty rejoicing about the overwhelming
approval of the Agency Shop bill last month by the
State Assembly.
Already, outside forces have begun a campaign to per-
suade the State Senate to reject the bill, which would require
public employees to pay an amount equivalent to dues to
the union bargaining agent responsible for representing the
employee.
It merely provides that those people who benefit from
the union’s services shall help pay the freight.
That has not stopped the National Right to Work Com-
mittee, headquartered in Fairfax, Va., from butting in.
The NRTWC reports that it is sending letters to 50,000
people, which it claims as New York members, urging them
to contact their State Senators to vote against the proposal.
The Virginia-based organization shows just far afield
its judgment is in this matter, by claiming that the bill was
passed with Governor Carey’s enthusiastic endorsement, be-
cause the Governor owes so many political debts to the
unions in this state.
Any New Yorker who has had his head out of the sand
for at least five minutes in the past year knows that the
rift between the Governor and the unions has been widening
daily—so much so that any political IOUs have been virtually
written off as a bad debt.

Affirm Job Security Guarantee
The collective bargaining agreement between the
Yonkers City Board of Education and the Yonkers Federa-
tion of Teachers contained a “job security” clause. In spite
of this clause and because of the city’s very poor financial
condition, the Board terminated some teachers covered by
the job security clause. The union demanded arbitration
and the Board commenced a proceeding under CPLR, Article
15, to stay the arbitration. The Westchester County Supreme
Court granted the motion to stay and declared the job se-
curity provision as being contrary to public policy. This
decision was affirmed by the Appellate Division, Second De-
partment, and an appeal was commenced by the union in
the Court of Appeals. The issue before the court was stated
to be as follows:
“Whether a public employer is free to bargain voluntarily about
Job security and also free, under the collective agreement's pre-
visions to submit to arbitration disputes about job security.”
The Court of Appeals reversed the Appellate Division
and held:

QUESTION
As you know, the delegates at last month's statewide convention of the
Civil Service Employees Assn. voted to strike on April 18, if a satisfac
tory settlement is not reached by that time. If that deadline is passed,
what ideas can you offer the union leadership for mounting a successful
strike?
THE PLACE
Manhattan Psychiatric Center, Ward's Island
OPINIONS
Rosiland Edwards, therapy aide, pharmacy: “In Clarence Fitchett, psychiatric assistant: “First,
order to mount a successful I feel that the union leader-
strike, the union must let the ' ship should review the previous
100 percent united. It must
Project the attitude of success
and victory. It must not let
the Governor and the Legisla-
ture divide and conquer its
strength. I feel there should be
aif some sort of strike fund to pay
the pénalties imposed by the
‘Law for all employees who are penalized.
Job protection would make up the minds of
undecided about whether to strike or not
strike.”
Lillian Goodridge, nurse instructor: “The union
leadership must effectively com-
bat fear in the areas of the
state where there are less op-
portunities for work. These
state workers may not feel free
‘ enough to strike. The union
must convince al] state workers
must offer some strike security
for its members. I feel we have
enough force to close down the state. The drive for
success and courage to be firm must be passed on
ads out in the New York Times,

paign like any politician who runs for office to-
day, I feel more results could be achieved using
this sort of method.”
strikes that have occurred; then
not repeat mistakes of the past.
The union leadership should
lead the rank and file during
the walkout. They should be
visible when the TV cameras
film striking workers. If the
strike is to cripple the city
and the state, then unity is
the thing. Total unity will bring
about a speedy resolution to the dispute. For
people of mixed emotions, the union needs to start
@ campaign to create a strike frame of mind.”
Delores Douglas, nurse anesthetist: “I believe that
unity of the membership is the
most important objective. There

more communication between

president and the executive
board should be out with sand-
wich signs marching along with
the rank and file. They should
be on the line, marching in

that it does indeed have true leadership at the top.”
LETTERS TO THE EDITOR
Right To Strike
Editor, The Leader:
A New York Times editorial
“Don't Tinker With the Taylor
Law,” lauds the law because “un-
jon leaders have been jailed” and
“strikes have been held below 30
® year in New York.”
I find no cause for gloating
about these facts, just as I
found no cause for gloating when
Mussolini applied such policies
in Italy. From the standpoint
of N.Y. State employees, this is
an exact parallel. True, strikes of
government employees are bad
for the public, just as strikes
were bad for the Italian economy
But why confer upon public
officials the power that Mussolini
had? The Taylor Law provides no
protection for employees, but
gives officials a powerful wea-
pon—employees must knuckle
down or be fined and go to jail.
‘\ Observe the situation in New
York State. Two years ago, we
were given @ $250 cost-of-living
bonus; last year the bonus was
taken away. This year, the Gov-
ernor will not accept the fact-
finders’ report, and wants to pen-
alize those who invested in high-
er education by cutting the rec-
ommended cost-of-living increase
for professionals, in a divide-
and-conquer policy,
Will The Times continue to
gloat if state employees bend the
knee, and accept a standard of
living 20 to 25 percent below that
of three years ago? Will The
‘Times gloat even more if all of
us are fined, and some of us go
to jail?
Morris Bruckman

Job Lost
Editor, The Leader:
T am writing this letter in
response to “No Jobs Lost By
Transfers in Warwick,” an article
in the March 4, 1977, issue of
+ the Leader,
Since I was @ permanent mem-
ber of the Warwick facility from
April 1975 to March 2, 1977, when
my services were terminated, I
feel that this article is rather
misleading. The article mentions
that “of the 133 employees of
the Division for Youth facility
at Warwick, not one permanent
worker lost employment as a
result of the transfer." My own
situation is proof to the contrary.
I feel that before an article
like this is printed, the figures
and the information should be
checked. It is very misleading to
those who pride themselves on
thelr CSEA accomplishments to
have such inaccurate informa-
tion spread statewide.
Robert 8. Green

NEWS & FACTS

Pension Investments A Sorry Story
The overall picture of pension fund investments during
the past decade has been a sorry one. A recent survey of 78
banks which co-mingled equity funds shows that only 21 did
as well as, or better than, The Standard and Poor's stock
index during the first half of
the 1970's.
At the present time, more than
$220 billion is invested in pri-
vate pension plans. These cover
amost half of the total working
force in industry. An additional
$400 billion is invested in govern.
ment employee plans.
Investment advisors associated
with the banks offer the excuse
that times have been unpredic-
table, with continuing inflation,
the recession, and the illogical
resections of the stock market,
Probaby the true answer lies in
the competition among invest-
ment advisors to get the largest
return for funds put in their
care so that their reputations
ures back to the jungle days.
‘The final step in the process
now rests with the legislative
Panel appointed by Senate Major-
man is Senator John Marchi, of
Staten Island, the chairman of
the Senate Finance C tte,
and businesses can be enhanced.
As a result, inordinate risks have
sometimes been taken in view
of the objective. Many people
depend on their pensions to
pay for daily necessities, so the
risks taken appear to have been
too extensive. There has also
been the challenge of making a
further increase in value to meet
the higher cost of retirement
in an economy of continuing in-
Nation. The new ERISSA laws
will restrain the taking of risks
by placing greater responsibility
on the investment manager.
His Democratic counterpart is As-
semblyman Stephen Greco of
Buffalo, the chairman of the As-
sembly Government Employees
Committee.
It 4s thelr responsibility chiefly
to rise to the occasion with cour-
age and statesmanship to avert
an unnecessary and tragic con-
frontation.
LETTERS POLICY
Letters to the Editor should
be less than 200 words. The
Leader reserves the right to
extract or condense pertinent
sections of letters that exceed
the maximum length. Meaning
or intent of a letter is never
changed. Lengthy letters that
cannot be edited to @ reason-
able length are not used un-
jess their viewpoint ts so
unique that, in The Leader's
Judgment, an exception should
be made. All letters must be
signed and bear the writer's
address and telephone num-
ber. Names will be withheld
upon reques
of public interest. Fire protection
for any municipality is without
doubt a matter of public interest.
Therefore, the regulations in
question were restrictive of peti-
tioner's right of freedom of
speech.
‘The court further pointed out
that there is not even the slightest
suggestion that there is a legitim-
ate issue as to the maintenance
of discipline or maintaining har-
mony among co-workers. None
of the petitioner's statements
were directed against any indi-
vidual superior. “Therefore,” said
the court, “to the extent that the
rules in question can be, and in
petitioner's case have been, used
as @ means of stifling what may
be just criticism by a public ser-
vant concerning a matter of pub-
le concern, they are unconstitu-
tional and cannot form the basis
of the pending charges in ques-
tion.” Steenrod vy. Board of En-

A suit by the State Deputies Assn. against the State Civil Service
Commission attempting to obtain police officer designation for
deputy sheriffs in order to qualify for better pensions, promotion
opportunities and other benefits, was dismissed by a Brooklyn appeals
court after a lower court had upheld the suit based on the opinion
that a deputy sheriff is a civil officer. The Deputies Association was
also unsuccessful in its attempt to have the suit certified as a class
action.

CIVIL SERVICE LEADER, Friday, Aprti 15, 1977
Legal Committee Report
‘The legal committee report was given
by chairman Joseph Conway, of Work-
men's Compensation Board Local 671, at
the CSEA convention at the Concord
Hotel last month. Other committee mem-
bers are Andrew Piacito, Richard Snyder,
Judy Burgess, Ethel Ross, Nicholas Ab-
bdatiello, Michael Morella and Sid Gros-
man.
The Committee is pleased to report
to the Delegates that an innovative
computer system has been developed and
has become operative as of Jan. 1, 1977.
‘This system will streamline the record
keeping of all legal assistance expendi-
tures and provide the Committee with
@ variety of information which will al-
low for greater accountability and ana-
lysis within the Legal Assistance Program.
Once having received this information,
8 variety of data can be obtained through
program changes. We anticipate that at
each Annual Meeting (fall) of the Dele-
gates, beginning in 1977, we will be
providing you with a comprehensive re-
Port showing legal expenditures made on
behalf of all chapters of the Association.
I wish to personally thank CSEA Coun.
sel Jim Roemer and staff members Jack
Carey, Tom Linden, Joe Dolan, Tony
Campione, Tom Collins, Jerry Lawton
and Dave Stack for their input and
efforts in helping the Committee achieve
this goal,
An analysis of our records for the
fiscal year ending Sept. 30, 1977, shows
142,450.00
$1,233,081.08
It is important to note that CSEA
expended almost $160,000 for the pay-
ment of arbitrator fees. This amount is
included in the costs shown above.
As of Oct. 1, 1976, all Regional At-
torneys are required to keep time records
for time spent on matters included in
their retainers. Our General Counsel
Roemer and Featherstonhaugh have been
maintaining such records since July 1,
1976.
In conclusion, I am pleased to report
to you that the CSEA Legal Program is
in excellent shape—that long-needed con-
trols have been built into the system and
you can be assured that you and your
fellow members are receiving at least
® one dollar return on every dollar
CSEA spends for legal services.
Probation Committee Report
The statewide probation committee re-
port was given by chairman James Brady,
at the CSEA spring convention at the
Concord Hotel last month, Other com.
mittee members are Alan Greenfield,
Peter Grieco, Joseph Gilligan, James Mat-
tei, Harold Fanning, Eulis Cathey, Sr.,
John Whalen, James Frisina, Thomas
Taylor and David Singer, with staff co-
ordinator Nels Carlson.
In the past nine months the question
that has been uppermost in the minds
of probation officers throughout the
State: Is the State taking over all pro-
bation departments?
Our committee has been addressing it-
self to the advantages and disadvantages
of State takeover.
We have met with the probation of-
ficers from the three counties which
have been taken over by the State
(Warren, Pulton and Montgomery) and
discussed with them the effect this
has had on their probation departments.
Our Chairman has been on an advi-
sory panel to the late Acting Director of
Probation, Robert Sullivan, where the
proposed legislation for State takeover
was discussed.
Pive years ago when our committee
was first formed, State takeover was
considered @ desirable move as the local
governments did not understand the scope
of probation officers’ work nor the posi-
tive effects on the criminal justice sys-
tem an effective probation department
can have. It was hoped by State takeover
there would be a broader understand-
ing of probation and a better utilization
of probation services in rehabilitation
and cutting down the excessive costs of
incarceration.
In the past few years, through the
efforts of our committee, professional
probation organizations, federal studies
and, in a few cases, probation depart
ment administrators, there has been an
improvement in probation services in
some local governments. Some communti-
ties have even hired enough probation
Officers and staff so a fairly adequate
job can be done. Also, wages have im-
proved so that there isn't the constant
the point where probation officers only
have time to do clerical work. *
The financial crisis which has hit the
ence imposed on criminals, During these @
years 53 percent to 58 percent of the
people convicted of crimes were placed
on probation. Yet, over this
time, probation only received 9 percent
of the money awarded to the criminal
justice system in the State.

On Long Island
Public Hearings Get CSEA View
(From Leader Correspondent)
AMITYVILLE—Testifying at public hearings on the New
York State budget, Long Island Region Civil Service Em-
ployees Assn. leaders scored proposed cuts in schools and
Mental Hygiene budgets, and criticized the state for allow-
ing widespread abuses in health
and auto insurance, while offer-
ing state workers a flat $350
ralse.
Appearing at meetings at Min-
eola and Hauppauge, Irving
Flaumenbaum, Region I presi-
dent; Danny Donahue, president
of Central Islip Psychiatric Cen-
ter, and Mike Curtin, Suffolk
Bducation chapter vice-presi-
dent, ticked off a laundry list of
SEA complaints including:
© The entire state fiscal pro-
gram. “We view the Governor's
fiscal program with suspicion
since we believe that state rev-
enues next year will permit the
Governor to make @ significant
tax reduction proposal for his
reelection campaign,” said Mr.
Flaumenbaum.
© State program cuts. “The
Proposed cuts of programs are
foolhardy. They will result in
the curtailment of services to
taxpayers, and will be counter-
productive since the laid-off em~-
ployees will end up on unem-
ployment insurance or welfare
rolls,” commented Mr. Donahue.
® Cuts in state education. Mr.
Curtin explained that the plan-
ned cuts in aid to education for
transportation, BOCES and vo-
cational education and extension
boards, and aid to handicapped
children “diminish essential ser-
vices in our public education sys-
tem particularly in the type of
specialized programs essential to
the education of a segment of
our school-age population.”
© Mental Hygiene cuts. “The
community based mental health
Progmam is little more than a
dumping policy. The CSEA is not
opposed to the program if it is
properly set up and supervised,”
Mr. Donahue commented. “The
phasing out of the alcoholic re-
habilitation units at Creedmoor,
Bronx, Kingsboro, Pilgrim State
and Rockland Psychiatrie Cen-
ters 1s foolhardy,” added Mr,
Curtin, “The state claims that it
ts part of their overall shift to
smaller-seale community based
treatment. But the catch is that
there are no community facilities
to treat alcoholics. These people
will die in the streets unless this
Policy ls reversed.”
Mr. Flaumenbaum assailed
the cutis tn education, slnee, : her
said, the state lotery bas “in-
creased by $20 million. That
money was supposed to be used
for education. The proposed cuts
will cost us 8,000 jobs if they go
through. Where is that lottery
money going?” Mr. Flaumen-
baum asked. “In fect, how can
the state propose a budget like
this when their failure to pro-
tect the people from the rip-offs
and unjustified price hikes in
auto and health insurance has
played a major role in the soar-
ing inflation in our state. Now
they have the nerve to cut ser-
vices and throw people out of
work. The CSEA won't stand for
it. We're going to fight back on
the political level through our
votes and campaigning ability
‘and on the consumer front where
we will hold investigations and
organize boycotts,” he added.
Of Budget
Commenting on the state-pro-
posed offer to state workers of
& $350 across-the-board raise,
Mr, Donahue said, “for the past
three years state workers have
struggled along without raises.
Our wwerage salary here on Long
Island is $8,600, a few hundred
dollars over the poverty level.
Most of our people qualify for
food stamps. But we are through
being nice people. We've had it.
We will no longer sit back and
be treated like second-class citi-
zens.”

CSEA field representative Larry
Scanion and regional supervisor
Thomas J. Luposello spoke and
answered members’ questions, as
did Mr. Spiccl.
Mr. Cornell discussed the
union's charges that the county
refused to negotiate for the new
contract, refused to pay annual
and longevity increments so far
in 1977; and improperly held

the legislative hearing last Octo-
ber at which the legislators uni-
laterally imposed for one year
the terms and conditions of em~-
ployment for the 1,800 county
workers. The three charges are
now in different stages of resolu-
tion before PERB.
Mr. Luposelio talked about the
failure of SEIU in other areas
of the state, specifically in Ulster,
Orange and Sullivan Counties,
where the county employees
voted for the CSEA over the out-
side group twice. SEIU also failed
in attempts to capture towns,
school districts and statewide
bargaining units.

“Thousands of public employ-
ees in New York State were faced
with the same decision that now
faces the Rockland County em-
ployees," Mr. Luposello said.
“They made their decision by
asking themselves several ques-
tions: which union has local
lawyers, field representatives, col-
lective bargaining specialists?
“I'm sure that if Rockland
County employees ask themselves
these same questions, they'll come
to the same conclusion,” he said.
