IT’S STILL PRESIDENT WENZL!

McGowan Is Exec;
Lattimer Only New
Statewide Officer

SARATOGA—Theodore C.
Wenzl has been re-elected
president of the Civil Service
Employees Assn.

Ballot results were announced
last weekend by CSEA elections
chairman Bernard Schmall.

Dr. Wenzl succesded in mold-
ing an unprecedented fifth elec-
tion vietory against three con-
tenders after « crisis-filled year
that included his near-fatal
automobile accident lest year
and the current state contract
stalemate.

‘This is the second time in Dr.
Wenzl's five election wins that
he has defeated the second rank-
ing statewide officer to win re-
election, Coming in second in the
presidential race was Thomas H,
McDonough, who has held the
second-ranking post for four
years—two years as first vice-
president and two years as ex-
ecutive vice-president. Four
years ago Dr, Wenl turned back
then first vice-president Irving
Flaumenbaum.

Completing the field of prest-
dential contenders this year were
Ethel Ross, Judicial representa-
tive whose campaign sparked in-
terest @bout the chances of a
woman candidate, and Gerald
Purcell, Executive representative
who waged « last-minute write-
in campaign

Mr. McDonough, Ms, Ross and
Mr. Pureell were, however, re-
elected to the Board of Directors
in thelr respective departmental
contests,

William McGowan was elected
executive vice-president, the po-
sition vacated by Mr. McDon-
ough in his quest for the presi-
dency. Mr, McGowan, who is
Western Region 6 president and
Mental Hygiene Counci] chair-
man, defeated A, Victor Costa
and Victor V. Pesct for the
second-ranking position. Mr,
Costa and Mr. Pesci were elected
to the Board as departmental
representatives.

In the other statewide elec-
tions, Dorothy MicTavish was
re-elected to a fifth term as sec-
retary, and Jack Gallagher was
re-elected to ® fourth term as
treasurer.

In regional elections five re-
ional presidents were re-elected
while Robert Lattimer was elec-
ted Western Region 6 president,
succeeding to the position va-
cated by Mr. MoGowan in his
successful bid for the exeoutive
vice-president post.

CARUSO HONORED — Recognition as Civil Servant of
the Year for Syracuse Region V of the Civil Service Employees Assn.
was made last month to Philip J. Caruso, president of Fort Schuyler
chapter of Utiea and chairman of the Region V audit committee.
Mr, Caruso, right, accepts award from A. Victor Costa, who was
master of ceremontes at awards presentation dinner. Other awards
were given in annual scrapbook contest, with first place going to
Onondaga chapter. Other photos and story are on pages 8 and 9.

To Decide On

‘6% Or

Strike’

ALBANY—A hastily called meeting of the Civil Service
Employees Assn.’s Board of Directors has recommended
authorization of a strike by its state employee members if
the State Legislative Committee considering a CSEA-State

contract reopener impasse fails
to recommend a pay raise of at
least 6 percent.

‘The meeting came about after
the latest of several news leaks
occurred late last week indicat-
ing the committee was prepared
to recommend a settlement
package identical to the final of-
fer the state Administration
made in late March. This would
provide a bonus-type one-time
payment of $250 to each of the
147,000 state employees repre-
sented by CSEA in four bargain-
ing units plus annual increments
due to about 40 percent of the
workers, payable July 1, 1975,
instead of the traditional April 1
date,

CSEA president Theodore C.
Wenal said that union leaders
had no choice but to regard the
news leak as “apparently auth-

Federal Judge Says No To DOT Workers...

ALBANY—A federal court
judge last week dismissed
an application by the Civil
Service Employees Assn. for
an injunction preventing layoffs
of TT Department of Transporta-
tion Region 8 employees, CSEA
had argued, in seeking the in-
Junction, that firing of Imborers

and others in the non-competi-
tive category had violated the
constitutional rights of the work-
ers under the sixth and four-

of the Southern District of New
York in Manhattan, but that
Judge granted a change of venue
to the Northern District court,
where arguments were heard be-
fore Chief Judge James T. Foley
in Albany.

CSEA contended that the Civil
Service Law permitting the Jay-

offs of 77 laborers, machine op-
erators and other non-competi-
tive personnel in Poughkeepsie-
based DOT Region 8 violates
state and federal constitutions in
that it eliminates due process for
persons and thelr rights to be

Central Islip Threat Passes;
Plan A Pilgrim Staff Boost

CENTRAL ISLIP—The threat to close one of the Long Island Mental Hygiene hos-
pitals has passed, according to Joseph Keppler, Mental Hygiene departmental representa-
tive of the Civil Service Employees Assn.

The action followed the presentation to Gov. Hugh L. Carey of petitions containing

thousands of names protesting
the closing of Central Islip
Psychiatric Center, where Mr.
Keppler is the CSEA chapter
president, or any other Long
Island facility.

However, Mr. Keppler pointed
out that the Department still had
two upstate institutions—Marcy
and Utica State—listed on a
contingency plan for possible
Closing if the legislature bucks

APITOL SPOTLIGHT

(From Leader Correspondent)

A final loophole was plugged last week in a 1970 measure
which had been designed to protect news reporters from
having to reveal their sources of information, The 1970
“Shield Law” granted news media personnel immunity from
being held in contempt by courts and the Legislature for
failure to reveal their sources. However, there was no pro-
tection for those called before a grand jury investigation.
The amendment, signed last week by Gov. Hugh L. Carey,
and sponsored for the past five years by Assemblyman
Arthur J. Kremer (D-Long Beach), includes immunity from
contempt charges sought by a grand jury.

As one law was being tightened, another was being
weakened in the eyes of many critics, This was the new
jobbyist control measure which had already passed the
Assembly and which has been awaiting Senate action for
more than three weeks. Late in the week the Senate passed
an amended version of the Assembly measure, while voting
down the original Assembly bill. Whether the Assembly will
now act on the new proposal, which greatly reduces the
powers of the Secretary of State in enforcement, is an open
question. Common Cause and other consumer groups had
been arguing for even stronger restrictions than those con-
tained in the first bill, What is really new in either version
is the requirement that anyone who spends $500 in lobbying
during any session must file a report with details as to the
nature of legislative interests, position taken, and individuals
contacted, Heretofore, public officials had been exempt from
registering as lobbyists. The new proposal would require
them to register also.

Bill Would Restore Improper
Acts Jurisdiction To NYC

ALBANY—A bill that would restore jurisdiction over improper labor practices brought
in New York City to the City’s Office of Collective Bargaining was recently approved by the

State Assembly.

Cases in the city are currently handled by the state's Public Employment Relations

Board. The measure was intro-
duced by Assemblyman Seymour
Posner (D-Bronx), chairman of
the Assembly Labor Committee,

The Office of Collective Bar-
gaining was empowered to de-
cide improper employer and em-
ployee organization practices in
New York City until March 1973.
At that time the Public Em-
ployees Relations Board was
given jurisdiction over all dis-
putes about improper labor prac-
tices in the state

“The Office of Collective Bar-
gaining handled all improper
practices disputes until March
1973, when inaction on the part

Legislature caused the city’s jur-
isdiction over improper labor
practices to lapse,” Assemblyman
Posner said.

“Jurisdiction then automatic-
ally went to PERB, which found
itself with an avalanche of cases
that formerly had been handled

by the New York City Board.

“The result of this transfer
has been confusion and duplica-
tion of effort as well as long
delays before cases can be heard
by the state board."

‘The measure (A, 6501-A) now
goes to the Senate for approval.

FOR McDONOUGH Wenzl Repeats Warnings

On Representation Cards

ALBANY—Warnings recently issued by other leaders of the Civil Service Employees
Assn. against signing representation cards issued by challenging unions were underscored
recently by CSEA president Theodore C. Wenzl in a message to the union's membership.
The point of the letter, Dr. Wenzl wrote, “is simply this: Unless you feel that you

want the opportunity to vote
CSEA out as your bargaining
agent, please don’t — and we
repeat don't — sign your name
to any designation card,”

Tf 30 percent of the number
of employees in any bargaining
unit sign the cards, the Public
Employment Relations Board ts
obliged to conduct @ representa-
tion election.

Two challengers could face
OCSEA. One is a coalition of four
AFL-CIO unions and @ Teamster
local, called the Public Em-
ployees Federation, and the
other an APL-CIO affiliate, the
American Federation of State,
County and Municipal Employ-
ees. Dr. Wenazl's letter pointed
out that as the summer wears
on, other unions may decide to
mount a challenge to CSEA.
Directors Concerned

On the challenges, Dr. Wenal
continued, “CSEA's Board of Di-
rectors are so concerned ubout
them that they adopted a mo-
tion directing me to write to you
about It,

“Why are they concerned? Por
the simple reason that some em-
ployees who are loyal to CSEA
think there ls no harm in sign-
ing a designation card and send-
ing it in because they figure that
if a representation election does
occur they will vote for CSEA
and against the other union
anyhow, This is a fact: there
are many people who sign cards
with that thought In mind. Some
do it to increase the official
showing of interest reported for
the challenger so that word will
get back and shake up the CSEA
leadership. Others do it because
they enjoy misleading the chal-
jenging union into thinking it
has a chance, then ‘socking it to
them’ at the ballot box."

Costly To CSEA
Dr. Wenal's letter pointed out
that whatever the reasons some
members sign the cards, if @
representation election results,
such a ballot can be very costly
to OSEA,

“Representation elections in
our huge state negotiating units
are a tremendous drain on our
resources, and we simply have
too many other important things
to do for you, our members, than
to tle up your paid staff and
squander your dues money in
this manner,”

The CSEA leader noted that «
good deal of harm can be done
by signing the representation
cards “just for fun,” adding: “If
you want to sign them to force

an election and bring In a new
union, that's your guaranteed
right as a public employee. But
if you like CSEA and want tt to

remain your barganing agent,
please give CSEA and yourself a
break: do not sign any represen-
tation cards.”

on all these installations.

this summer.

Chapter Election Coverage

Since so many Civil Service Employees Assn. chapters are
having their installations within a relatively short span of
time, The Leader regrets that it cannot provide photo coverage

In previous years, chapter elections were held at local
option, but under rules that went into effect this year, chapter
elections have been scheduled st the same approximate time
as the regional and statewide elections,

‘This means that hundreds of installations will be held

In order to be fair to everyone, The Leader will print
election results, and will consider using installation photo-
graphs submitted by the chapters, but we cannot pick and
choose “favored” chapters for special consideration.

‘We hope that our predicament will be understood by the
individual chapter leaders and members.

Plans Splitting Monroe
Sheriff's Dep't, Rapped
By CSEA, Appear Dead

ROCHESTER—A plan to split the Monroe County Sher-
iff’s Department into a new Department of Corrections has
been apparently killed. The plan had been sharply criticized
by the Civil Service Employees Assn.

Martin Koenig, president of
the 4,100-member Monroe Coun-
ty chapter, CSEA, charged that
the new department would have
meant reduced salaries and re-
threment benefits for about 80
sheriff's deputies now assigned as
jail guards.

Mr. Koenig also contended the
plan was ® politically motivated
one aimed at stripping Sheriff
William Lombard, a Demorcat, of
part of his authority. He also
argued that the plan was an at-
tempt to fragment the chapter
and make % more difficult to
negotiate contracts with Monroe
authorities,

Responding to those who
claimed a new department was
needed to reduce inmate prob-
Jems at the jail, Mr, Koenig said
the reason for the problems was
obvious—understaffing.

While the ratio should be five
inmates for every jatl deputy, the
Monroe County jatl ratio varies
between 30-1 and 50-1, Mr. Koe-
nig said.

Following a hearing at which
no one spoke in favor of the
proposal, Republicans on the

County Legislature's public safe-
ty committee decided to keep the
Proposal in committee. The de-
cision apparently kills the pro-
posal. It needed the approval of
both county and state legisia-
tures.

Mr, Koenig said the county
legislator who proposed the new
Department of Corrections is
running for a family court judge-
ship and that the chairman of
the legislature's public ifety
committee was, but no longer is,
& candidate for the Republican
nomination for district attorney.

A Democratic legislator charged
‘that the Republicans wanted to
put the jail under Public Gafety
Administrator Andre P. Meloni.
Mr, Meloni, 4 Republican, was
undersheriff for former Sheriff
Albert Skinner, whom Sheriff
Lombard defeated in 1073.

Mr. Lombard argued that the
new department would cost
$200,000 in addiitona! adminis-
trative salaries. He said it also
would add burdens to the county
manager because the corrections
commissioner would have to re-
port to the manager.

Albany Region Supports Library Aid Bill

ALBANY—Officials of Al-
bany Region IV, Civil Service
Employees Assn., have en-
dorsed Library Bill A4595 for
passage by the Legislature.

‘The measure is intended to
give additional ald to library
ayetems and central lbruries as
well as increase incentive aid to
® greater number of libraries
statewide.

‘The bill was sponsored by As-
semblyman Irwin J, Landes and
has been reported out of the

Assembly Education Committee.
It & now before the Assembly
Ways and Means Committee,

Joseph McDermott, president
of Region IV, recommended sup-
port of the bill saying, “Libraries
are the most important infor-
mation source for al) CSEA
members today. More people are
looking to thelr local libraries to
provide career information, job
improvement help, guidance in

self projects, information on
consumer education and the
knowledge for survival in these
chaotic times.”

Mr. McDermott urged that

CSEA Spokesman Responds
To TV Station's Criticism -

MANHATTAN—Randolph V. Jacobs, public relations specialist with New York City
Region I, Civil Service Employees Assn., appeared recently on New York City’s WNBC-TV
to provide a rebuttle to ah editorial given by the station on how to improve the New York

State Civil Service System.

‘The Channel 4 editorial, and
Mr. Jacobs’ response, are given
here in their entirety.

Said the television station:

‘The threatened layoffs of many
city workers have disturbed ad-
ministrators who must cut their
staffs. But perhaps the depart-
ment headg are most disturbed by
their inability to determine which
employees to keep. In New York
State, the Civil Service System,
rather than the supervisors, de-
cide who to fire. And that sys-
tem is one of the most rigid
and meritiess Civil Service Sys-
tems in existence. Perhaps the
Present fiscal crisis will force
New York State to reevaluate
and reform its Civil Service Sys-
tom,

“Right now, the system does
next to nothing to encourage pro-
ductivity, There are very few re-
wards for either ability, ambi-
tion or dedication, Jobs are filled
on the basis of written exam-
inations which do not always re-
late to job performance. Previ-
ous experience and training rare-
ly count, Promotions are also
based on test results and there
are few punishments for inef-
ficiency or poor performance.
What was originally conceived as
4 Merit System has become a sen-
jority system. And the time re-
quired to process the tests often
results in the loss of the best
applicants and the hiring of those
who could not find other jobs.

“We recommend that Gover-
nor Carey move toward reforming
the Civil Service System so that
city and state will be better serv-
ed by their employees and the
employees will be encouraged to

really work for the citizens.”
Mr. Jacobs, who spoke June 14
in response to the June 12 tele-
vision editorial, observed:
“WNBC-TV in a recent edi-
torial, charged that the Civil
Service System, rather than sup-
ervisors, decide who to fire; that
the system {s rigid and meritless;
and that what was originally
conceived as a Merit System has
become a seniority system.
“Seniority does play s major
part in the civil service and for
a valid reason. Any Civil Service
employee who has been on the
job for five, 10, and at times as
many as 40 years must have
proved his worth and productiv-
ityin order to be retained. Each
employee's work is constantly
being evaluated by the supervi-
sor and annually a written re-
port is submitted by the super-
visor. To do away with the sen-
jority system would in effect deny
the employee the modicum of
job protection he now enjoys in
ght of today's firings, and
would permit the supervisor to
engage in nepotism and favorit-

ism regardless of the employee's
productivity.

There are, however, certain

aspects of the civil service sys-
tem that could stand ¢eforming
and I agree with WNBC-TV that
written examinations given by
the Civil Service Department do
not always relate to job per-
formance, The state and its citi~
zens have lost many proficient
and experienced employees be-
cause questions asked on an ex-
amination did not pertain to the
job actually being done. The Civil
Service Employees Assn., the un-
jon representing 90 percent of
state workers, has repeatedly
brought this to the attention of
the Civil Service Department in
the past, and we have pressed
for reforms in this and other
areas.
"We have recommended im-
provements stich as career lad-
ders, intensive training periods
and job related education for
employees, all of which will help
to improve and render the kind
of service the citjzen expects and
should receive.”

Discrimination Suit Alters
Onondaga Maternity Rule

SYRACUSE—Complaints by two Onondaga Community
College educators to the State Division of Human Rights
charging sex discrimination in employment have resulted
in a broad change in Onondaga County personnel rules

applying to maternity absences,
‘Under a resolution adopted by

ceive pay up to their full accrued
sick leave time for disabilities
ineurred during maternity leaves.
‘This application of sick leave
accruals previously had been
withheld with county statutes.
Neal Hoffman, division region-
al director, pointed out that the
two complainants have received
& combined total of nearly $3,000,
for the period of time that they

were disabled during their ma-
ternity leaves. He added that a
current review by the county

would be eligible to make similar
application of their accrued sick
leave time.

Mr, Hoffman said that the
amount of money involved would
probably range between $25,000
and $50,000, depending upon sal-
ary rates, length of absence, the
applicable sick-leave time and
the number of women involved.

Medical Leave Back Pay
Won By Buffalo PC Man
In Second Injury’ Action

Center will be several thousand dollars richer as a result
of a grievance filed successfully against the center by the

Civil Service Employees Assn,

The grievance alleged thet
center authorities denied the em-
Ployee Workmen's Compensation
leave with pay in violation of
Article 10,16 of the OSHA Op-
erational Services Unit's agree-
ment with the center,

Third-Step Decisions

The decision was made by
John J. Lagatt, assistant Men-
tal Hygiene commissioner.

In a third-step decision rend-
ered June 16, Commissioner La-
gatt ruled that the employee,
Harold McGrath, should receive
the difference between his usuai
pay and the amount he received
from workmen's compensation
funds because his absence did
not fit the center administra-
tion’s definition of pre-existing
medical condition nor manage-
ment's interpretation of time
Umits of such leave when a re-
injury is involved.

Holding that “the mannge-
ment of Buffalo Psychiatric
Center did violate the provisions
of Article 10.16, denying you
workmen's compensation leave
with pay,” Mr, Lagatt told Mr.
McGrath, "your grievance 1s,
therefore, upheld."

Mr, McGrath was denied the
leave because management con-
tended that the injury in ques-
tion constituted “pre-existing
medical conditions,” because tt
was a re-injury for which he
had been previously grant-
ed leave. The center also con-
tended “that management be-
lieved that because he (Mr. Mo-
Grath) sccepted the loss award
(on his initial injury), he was
not entitled to receive any ad-
ditional workmen's oompensa-
tion with pay for a re-indury or
any subsequent ocoupational in-
jury to his right knee.”

Represented by OSEA

Mr, MeGrath was not present
at a hearing conducted by Philip
D. Scott, a departmental labor
relations representative, held
Feb. 7, Mr. Lagatt recorded, how-
ever, that he was represented by
CSEA field representative Thom-
as B, Christy, chapter president
Sarah DaRe and Alan Long.
Management's position was pre-
sented by personne! officers John
Swearingen and Thomas Waite,

Management's definition of
“pre-existing medical condition”
was rejected. Mr. Lagatt sald:
¢ phrase ‘pre-existing medical
condition’ refers to a medical
condition which existed prior to
state employment and that it
does not refer to a medical éon-
dition which resulted from @ pre-
vious occupational injury which
an employee suffered while with
his present employer.”

Eligible For Benefits

On the second point, Mr. La-
gatt concluded that not only
would Mr, McGrath have been
eligible for the balance of the
six-month leave, as provided in
the contract, in the event of a
re-injury, but that “the medical
documentation presented” estab~
Mshed that Mr, McGrath suffer-
ed a new injury and was, there-
fore, eligible for full benefits.

Facing Facts

6g ALL a cop!" the young men yelled as traffic was

blocked, air let out of tires and cars beat upon by fists
as startled motorists wondered how they had become en-
trapped in the volatile situation.

Then phalanxes of police officers formed, and shouts
of “get off the streets or you will be arrested” were heard.
“Scabs" was shouted in reply.

New York City’s Finest was facing a mob that only
one day previously had been brother police officers. On this
particular day, it was the men in blue versus hundreds of
clean-cut, young, former civil servants in tee shirts, sports
shirts and some shirtless.

It was a terrible day for 19,000 former civil servants who
began their search for jobs in a city where unemployment
is already staggeringly high.

New York City’s Bravest, the firefighters, registered their
protests by calling in sick, while the Sanitationmen engaged
in a wildcat strike that left garbage piled high on the
streets until an agreement was reached late last week.

While loss of uniformed services has the most nerve-
wracking effect on the public, there are many other impor-
tant services that are also being affected in hospitals, schools
and various agencies.

Expectation that many civil servants may regain their
jobs as a result of last-minute negotiations by political
leaders is somewhat reassuring, but we wonder if their
loyalties can ever again be the same.

The financial stakes are high and the public's needs are
great, but treating 19,000 civil servants as meaningless pawns
is a terrible thing to do.

Tt must be remembered that part of the whole mess
is the City’s need to tax its own citizens to provide for ser-
vices. A fact that may be overlooked by upstate New Yorkers
is that the City’s dilemma has been worsened by haggling
of state political leaders over granting permission to the
city to increase its own taxes—It has not been a matter of
the state giving money to the city,

It may not be remembered by some people that in the
mid-Sixties, New York City had to reduce its own sales tax
because the state raised its, The combination of the two
had exceeded limits allowable by law at that time,

In return, the City budget was supposed to be supple-
mented with additional aid. Consequently, New York City
Mayors have had to go hat-in-hand to Albany to plead with
state officials.

The irony ts that city residents tend to blame their
mayors when the state raises the sales tax, and upstate
New Yorkers resent state funds being diverted to the City.

But the truth of the matter, in the current layoff situa-
tion in the City, is that civil servants are civil servants, If
the City's public employees are allowed to be treated as
second-class citizens, the same can happen to other civil
servants throughout the state.

Congressman James Hanley (Dem.—32nd CD) recently
told 4 group of Civil Service Employees Assn. members; “Let
us not take a category of American citizens—just because
‘they happen to work for government—and treat them as
second-class citizens."

It seems clear to us that there are basic services to
which the public is entitled—whether they be city, county,
school district, state or federal services.

When 19,000 civil servants lose their jobs, that means
that there are 19,000 fewer people paying for these services.
Instead they are Ans Siting The Sinteay paney Anain 90 te

‘Now each of these great cen-
ters of culture, art, communica-
tions is faced with the ravages of
degeneration and decay. As the
greatest of these, the symptoms
of decay are more evident and
more frightening.

If you pay heed to the police-
men, New York is a Fear City.

According to the firemen, New
York is on the verge of becoming

With an increase in the prop-
erty tax of more than 80 cents,
real estate operators assert that
they will no longer invest in New
York's real estate, thereby help-
ing to destroy one of the City's
most important assets,

Woes In Other Cities

Other cities in the country are
also on the verge of disaster. Por
example, the economy of Detroit
is on the verge of collapse with
an unemployment rate of 25 per-
cent contrasted with a national
rate of 9 percent. Like New York,
Detroit has had to cut back
seriously on its police and fire-
fighting forces, as well as on
other services that the City nor-
mally provided for its residents
and business community,

Similarly some of the larger of
our industrial states are coping
desperately with a financial
crisis of one kind or another, In
New Jersey, thousands of state
and local government employees
are facing dismissal because of
the unwillingness of the State
Legislature to enact an income
tax law. In Pennsylvania, thou-
sands of stute employees hit the
street because of the inadequacy
of & wage offer. In New York,
the crisis of the City and the
potential crisis that may con-
front many school districts when
schools reopen in September are
also products of unwillingness on
the part of elected officials to
come to grips with the problem
of taxation,

The firing in New York City
of thousands of civil service em-
Ployees who have accumulated
years of seniority has been a
traumatic shock for the thou-
sands of such employees who
thought that security of tenure
was the most significant aspect
of thelr employment. It is now
clear that security is a mirage
and leaders of civil service em-
ployee organizations will neces-
sarily have to reshape their
thinking and programs in light
of this disastrous experience.
Perhiaps out of this sad experl-
ence there may bz an awakening
among the public and the tax-
payers of the Incaloulable con-
tributions of the civil service
employees to the Iife of thelr

A Resignation, A Dismissal

The Appellate Division, Third Department, recently af-
firmed a judgment of Supreme Court, Special Term in Al-
bany County, and directed the reinstatement of the peti-
tioner,

‘The Mayor of the City of Cohoes appointed petitioner
to the position of planner in the Cohoes Planning and
Development Agency. The title was later changed to housing
project director. Petitioner performed the duties of his office
for some six months until he received a memorandum dated
July 23, 1973 signed by the executive director of the Agency
advising him that he was suspended without pay for leaving
his office on July 20, 1973 “without notification, justifica-
tion or acknowledgment.”

: @

PETITIONER WAS not permitted to return to work
thereafter. He sought reinstatement and back salary pur-
suant to an Article 78 proceeding in which he maintained
that he had been dismissed improperly, The appellant, who
was the respondent in Special Term, admitted that peti-
tioner was suspended but denied that he was dismissed. He
claimed that the petitioner had resigned by making a state-
ment of his resignation over the telephone to be effective
Aug. 30, 1973.

In affirming the reinstatement of the petitioner, the
Appellate Division pointed out that “where not otherwise
provided by law, an appointive officer of a municipal cor-
poration may resign his office to the body, board or officer
that appointed him, Such resignation must be in writing,
addressed to the officer or body to whom it ts made, and,
in the absence of an effective date specified therein, it shall
take effect upon delivery to or filing with the proper officer
or body.”

SINCE THERE WAS no proof in the papers that the
petitioner's purported resignation was in writing or that any
such writing was delivered to or filed with the proper party
pursuant to the Public Officers Law, then as a matter of
law, there was no resignation. The court felt that petitioner
was illegally dismissed for the Mayor's failure to comply with
pertinent sections of the Cohoes City Code relating to the
removal of an appointive officer, In the Matter of Burke
y. Buskirk, 365 N.Y.S. 2d 932.

oe 6S

IN A 1939 DECISION, the New York State Court of Ap-
peals, in the case of Roger v. Valentine, it was held that “a
Police officer is guilty of serious fault when he does an act
even without evil intent which tends to destroy confidence
in his integrity and honesty.” The Appellate Division, First
Department, recently upheld a determination of the New
York City Police Commissioner, dated Aug. 18, 1972, in which
@ police officer was dismissed from the force because of a
minor shoplifting Incident which occurred outside of the
City of New York. The court said that the petitioner acted
in the manner of a shoplifter and “such conduct tends to

destroy public confidence in the integrity and efficiency of
the police.”

Grossfield Urges State Campaign Discrimination Is Found
To Restore Labor Dep't $ Cuts

ROCHESTER—Civil Service Employees Assn. chapters throughout the state should
contact area congressmen, urging them to help restore the $10 million cut in federal aid
to the State Labor Department, the president of the Rochester CSEA chapter said.

“It's ‘Alice-in-Wonderland’ logic to reduce this aid when the unemployed and un-

deremployed most need Labor
Department employment serv-
tees," Samuel Grossfield noted.

He said the 50 persons in the
Rochester district employment
service office and the other 350
Labor Department employees
across the state who will lose
their jobs July 1 “have the ex-
Pertise for helping the people
who need it most during this
erucial period of a depressed
economy.”

‘The $10 million, he said, is “a
drop in the bucket" compared to
the billions of dollars proposed
for “makeshift” public service
Jobs to relieve unemployment.

Mr. Grossfield said he was at-
tempting to set up appointments
with Congressmen Prank Horton
and Barber Conable from the
Rochester area,

“Congress must reassess {ts
position and restore these cuts
within the next two or three
weeks," he said.

He criticized Gov. Hugh L.
Carey for not protesting the
cuts strongly enough.

“There must be a massive as-
sault by all branches of state
government,” he said.

Mr. Grossfield said it was
“amazing that at a point when
more people than ever are com-
ing in to be served, we're losing
more staff to serve them.”

The cutbacks will leave the
employment service with about
180 employees to serve an area
within a 60-mile radius of Ro-
chester, he said,

‘The jobs to be eliminated in-
clude typists, employment in-
terviewers, rural manpower rep-
resentatives, employment coun-

selors and community workers.

‘The highest paid among these
are employment counselors, with
a starting salary of $11,900; the
lowest paid are typists, with a
starting salary of $5,871. The
employees will lose their jobs by
seniority.

Mr. Grossfield said several em-
ployees have been sent notices of
termination and others, with
more seniority, are being offered
a single opportunity to relocate

“This short notice is ridicu-
lows,” he added. “This ts false
economy. The federal government

‘4s throwing seasoned interview-
ers and administrators out of
work and into the ranks of the
unemployed, whom they've been
trying to help.”

He said the layoffs also are
hurting the morale of “those un-
scathed so far.

“They're not in a mood to dou-
ble their efforts when they don't
know who'll be next.””

Mr. Grossfield’s sentiments
echoed those recently made by
William DeMartino, president of
the CSEA’s Metropolitan Divi-
sion of Employment chapter.

Civil Service Law & You

(Continued from Page 6)

THE COURT HELD that the punishment involved was
not disproportionate to the offense so as to shock one's
sense of fairness. There was a dissent in this case by one

Justice, who stated that in his

opinion the measure of pun-

ishment was too disproportionate to the offense in the light
of all circumstances as to be shocking to one's sense of fair-
ness, He said that the stealing of $4.17 worth of merchan-
dise while off duty and outside of the city was not suffi-
elent to justify a dismissal. He pointed out that the peti-

tioner was not charged with

any dereliction of duty nor

any other offense involving his conduct as a police officer.

“WHILE THE ABSENCE of any proven line of duty, mis-
conduct is not necessarily a determinative factor, it is a
factor to be considered with all other relevant circumstances
in reviewing petitioner's fitness to retain his position.” He
therefore dissented and recommended that the discipline
imposed by the Police Commissioner was too severe as a
matter of law and should be reduced. Alfieri v. Murphy, 366

Leave Case

BUFFALO—The State Division of Human Rights has
found the New York Teamsters Council Welfare Trust Fund,
a Buffalo local of the Teamsters Union and a Pennsylvania-
based trucking concern gullty of sex discrimination against

&@ woman union member employ-
ed st the company's terminal in
Wililamsville.

‘The case involved charges of
unequal terms, conditions and
privileges of employment in the
denial to the woman of disability
benefits for the time she was
unable to work by reason of her
pregnancy.

She claimed that she was en-
titled to the same payments from

ing her maternity absence, the
sum representing one-half of the
contributions that normally
would be paid fully by her em-
ployer, Under the union's col-
lective bargaining agreement with
the company, all payments to
the fund are made by the em-

Ployer, even when a “regular
employee is absent because of
illness or off-the-job injury,”

The agreement provides, how-
ever, that In cases of maternity
leave “the employee must make
suitable arrangement for pay-
ment into the Health and Wel-
fare and Pension Punds during
period of absence.”
Directed Payment

Commissioner Kramarsky’s
order after hearing directed pay-
ment to Ms. Panone of disabil-
ity benefits for the period of her
maternity leave “to the same ex-
tent such payments are made to
covered employees for non-preg-
nancy connected temporary phy-
sical disabilities, plus interest at
the rate of 6 percent.” Halls
Motor Transit was ordered to
pay her the $307.20 she had put
into the Fund, plus interest at
the same rate,

AN of the respondents were
ordered to provide disability,
health, welfare and pension bene-
fits “to employees for pregnancy-
related disabilities to the same
extent such benefits are provided
to employees for other types of
temporary physical disabilities.”

Lefkowitz Outlines Limits
In State Military Retiree
Pension Options, Benefits

ALBANY—In response to a question from Maj, Gen.
John C. Baker, chief of staff to the governor, Atty. Gen.
Louls Lefkowitz recently outlined limitations of retirement
benefits of employees of the State Division of Military and

Naval Affairs,

The Attorney General, com-
menting on ® case brought by
the chief of staff involving a
retired officer, concluded: “An
employee of the Division pre-
sently validly eligible, or who
will be eligible for a pension
under provisions of Military Law
214, is not and will not be eligi-
ble for a pension under the pro-
visions of the Social Security

Likewise, the Attorney General
said, “Valid membership in the
Employees’ Retirement System
precludes such member from re-
ceiving or being eligible for a

pension under provisions of Mil-
itary Law 214."

The retired officer, who left
state service before age 55 under
Military Law 214, left employee
retirement contributions intact
under the State Employees’ Re-
tirement System,

Mr. Lefkowitz ruled therefore
that the officer “will not be eli-
gidle for an additional pension
upon reaching retirement age
under provisions of the Social
Security Law.”

chester County Executive Al-
fred DelBello has announced

Booklet Outlines State Info Law

MANHATTAN—A seven-page booklet intended as a guide to the New York State
Freedom of Information Law is now available from the New York Public Interest Research
Group, Inc., a non-partisan research and advocacy organization funded and directed by
state college and university students,

‘The booklet, written by NY-
PIRG staff attorney Nancy
Kramer, points out thet under
the new law, nine categories of
public records are available ‘to
interested parties. Categories
which might be of interest to
union members and officials tn-
volved in labor disputes include
opinions and orders in cases;
statements of policy and inter-
pretation plus any documents or
tables which led to the state-
ments; minutes of meetings and
public hearings; audits and tab-
ulations made by or for public
agencies; instructions to staff,
including manuals, if they af-
fect the public; records, names,
titles and salaries of employees,
except those of law enforcement
agencies; final determinations of
members of a governing body and
records of final votes, and other
records that any other jaw makes
open.

Outlines Methods

The booklet outlines methods
of obtaining needed records and
what to do if the records-are not
provided. It points out that all
state and local government agen-

“an important ‘other’ law to be
considered is Section 61 of the
General Municipal Law which
applies to counties, towns, vil-
jages and other unite of local
government, It states that all
the books, checks, and ‘other
papers connected with or used
Or filed in the office’ are pub-
le meoords and open to the
public.

matter lst for all of the agen-
cy’s records, The Mst only has
to contain those records filed or
kept after Sept, 1, 1974, but
you have the right to see old
records as well,”

‘Ms, Kramer notes thet an
agency may require a written
request for records or it may
permit you to obtain a record in

person or by telephone.

“The agency may not charge
you for help in finding records
or for looking at them and tak-
ing notes,” Ms. Kramer writes,
“The agency may charge you
up to 25 cents per normal-sized
page for making photocopies
(exoept in a few cases in which
an older jew allows it to charge
more). If it has no photocopy-
ing facilities, the agency must
honor a request for a typed or
handwritten transcrim of the
record, but it may charge you
for the clerical time involved in
making the transcript.”

Where Available

‘The booklet also describes what
records are closed by law and
what happens after @ request
for records is made.

Copies, priced at 25 cents each,
are available from NYPIRG, 5

Rensselaer Impasse Called; CSEA
Rep Terms Town ‘In Dark Ages’

RENSSELAER—The Civil Service Employees Assn. has declared an impasse in nego-
tiations with the City of Rensselaer on a work agreement for city blue-collar employees.
The union claims the administration has refused to make any movement to correct a work
situation CSEA describes as “still in the Dark Ages.”

CSEA field representative
Joseph Bakerlan, armouncing
the stalemate, said that the last
negotiating session was last

“Our research people did ex-
tensive background preparation
for these contract talks, compil-
ing statistics on benefits and sal-
ury schedules showing the vast
disparity between Rensselaer em-
ployees and those in cities with
similar populations, such as Au-
burn, Cohoes, North Tonawanda,
Gien Cove and about 10 others
from all over the state. Through-
out negotiations these figures
have been virtually ignored by
the administration.

“The workers currently have
no personal leave, no sick leave,
no bereavement leave, and, to
top that off, the city now wants
its employees to work on Satur-
days, practically the only time
they have with thelr families.”

Each employee gets one week
of vacation, no matter how long
they have been employed, ac-
cording to Mr. Bakerlan, “And
this is the first time in my life
I hive heard of city employees
who do not know when or if they

will receive a paycheck.” He
cited the fact that the City
Council must meet every two

weeks to authorize each payday;
if they do not meet, the workers
are not paid.

“No Cooperation"

Mr, Bakerian said that during
negotiations CSEA made every
effort to help “free-up" extra
funds so that a salary increase
could be worked into the budget,
“including revising the PERB-
designated bargaining unit to
exclude some temporary and
part-time workers. We received
no cooperation.”

He added that at every nego-
Mating session they had, the
City’s corporation counsel, Rich-
ard Reilly, wae “totally unpre-
pared” and that ‘they still
haven't given us an offer on a
grievance procedure."

The CSEA unit president,
Chaney Tiernan, sald that he ts
disappointed and discouraged
with the attitude of manage-
ment toward people with many
years on the job.

Mr Bakerian concluded,
“These are career public em-
ployees who devote their full en-
ergies and time to working for
the City of Rensselaer, They cer-
tainly deserve the respect they
have earned for their devotion,”

Sloan Education
Workers Obtain
A 13% Increase

SLOAN—The Board of Ed-
ucation in this Buffalo sub-
urb has signed a two-year
contract with non-teaching
and non-seeretarial help that
provides a 13 percent raise over
the life of the pact.

‘The Civil Service Employees
Assn. represents the 75 workers
covered by the pact.

The pact provides a 7 percent
pay hike for the 1975-76 school
year and @ 6 percent raise for
the following year,

It also improves the CSEA re-
tirement plan by giving workers
the opportunity to retire at 56
with 30 years service, Previously,
the retirement age with 30 years
service was 62.

And Will They “Remember In November?"

On July 1, at about 1:15
am., a@ second alarm took
Place at 111 W. 138 St, in
Harlem.

At about 2 am. there was
broadcast over the Pire Depart-
ment radio with a message to
the effect that although the
commissioner had waited for

dany for us long

ly possible,
word had not ?
come, There- ,
fore, notifica~
tions wouki be-
gin at 6 am,
and 1,600 fire-
fighters and
150 officers
would be fired.

Thus did July 1, 1975 become
a day of infamy, infamy of such
magnitude that persons such as
this writer, who have enjoyed a
love affair with the New York
City Fire Department for these
many years—in my case 50—

‘The mind becomes filled with

Why was there no clarion call

how the whole mess works out.
Because they will have either
burned to death by fire while
awaiting help which came too
late (budget crunch you know!),
or they will have died by strang-
ulation, or a bullet through the
head in the process of being
mugged by thugs who will now
be encouraged to ply thelr trade
with a feeling of greater safety
against being caught. (Budget
erunch!).

God bless ‘em, are the greatest

friends the politician has. Why?,
I asked. My friend, old Pete Me-
Guiness from Greenpoint, Brook-
lyn answered: “because they for-
get so quick.

Said Pete: “They will be mad
as heck at you today, but in a
couple of months, they forget
and forgive and just in time
for next election.”

Well, Mr. Anderson has had
his moment of politics and as a
result, men will remain bitter
for the rest of their lives, all for
the sake of that gentleman's pas-
sion to let New Yorkers know
who is boss in Albany.

There are those who, in the

past, have found my writing of-
fensive. If they are displeased,
they call me a muckraker, and
my sentiments as expressed here
‘are dismissed as “overkill.”
Usually, sometime toward the
end of October, the UF'A and the
UPOA print a special edition of
their respective house organs in
which they say that the members
always “remember in November.”
Come next November, and for
many Novembers after that, I
trust that not only firefighters,
fire officers and their families
but those who have been placed
in jeopardy by this display of
“gun to the head” politics, will

injunction preventing the
layoff of 40 employees at
Creedmoor Psychiatric Cen-
ter will be sought by the Civil
Service Employees Assn. this
‘week following the granting of a

three primary grounds:

transfer employees to other fa-
