Willowbrook Local Plans Next Move

Five busloads of members of the Willowbrook Local of the Civil Service Employees Assn,
drove to Albany last week where they prepared signs for displaying at barricades in front
of the Governor's Mansion and the State Capitol where Local leaders addressed the problem
of preventing further layoffs at the Staten Island institution,

Strike Vote Possible

ALBANY—The executive board of the Willowbrook De-
velopmental Center Local of the Civil Service Employees
Assn. voted Friday night to call meetings of the full mem-
bership on Tuesday to decide whether to strike or take other

action in the attempt to prevent
further job layoffs at the Staten
Island institution.

The membership meetings will
be held at the Plaza Casino,
Castleton Ave., Staten Island, at
three times—3:30 p.m, 8:30 p.m.
and 11:30 p.m.—to accommodate
workers on all shifts.

Sickout

Last Thursday a sickout, called
xtremely successful” by Local
president Felton King, was or-
ganized at Willowbrook. That
action followed the day after five
busloads of Civil Service Em-
Ployees Assn, members from Wil-
lowbrook picketed at the State
Capitol, the Governor's Mansion
and the headquarters of the De-
partment of Mental Hygiene.

Hundreds of the Willowbrook
employees heard Mr, King out-
Mne the causes of their problem:
DMH budget cutbacks combined
with a state contract with United
Cerebral Palsy. The union be-
lieves this will result in at least
500 layoffs of trained, experi-
enced CSEA members and their
replacement by private UCP em-
ployees

At the east steps of the Cap-
itol, the demonstrators also heard
CSEA collective bargaining spe-
cialist Bob Guild explain that it
would cost at least three times
more for UCP to care for the
patients at Willowbrook than for
CSEA members to do the same
Job,

Triple Costs

“What the State doesn’t tell
you,” Mr. Guild said, “is that the
CSEA members at Willowbrook
are dedicated career civil ser-
vants who are the best qualified
people in the world to care for
our patients. All we ask is that
we be given a decent budget so
we can do the job properly, But
rather than pour the money into
adequate staffing of the institu-
tion, the state would rather

triple its costs by contracting
with an outside, unprepared firm
that is totally an unknown quan-
tity.”

The workers were also ad-
dressed by CSEA statewide ex-
ecutive vice-president Thomas
McDonough and by CSEA Met-
ropolitan Region supervisor
George Bispham, both of whom
spoke in forceful, if sometimes
blunt, terms about the need for
unity on the part of the workers
at Willowbrook and in the Men-
tal Hygiene institutions through-
out the state.

“The eyes of the state are
upon us,” Mr. McDonough said,
“because if they get away with
this at Willowbrook, they'll be
trying it everywhere else.” He
pledged the full support of the
statewide organization in fight-
ing the layoffs at Willowbrook.

Court Proceedings

Mr. Bispham noted that UCP
has already assumed responsibil-
ity for some 700 patients in seven
buildings at the developmental
center. “They say the employees
in the New York-City area are
the most militant in the state,”
he said, “and we're here to tell
them they're right. The Gover-
nor had better realize that he's
got a fight on his hands, if he's
going to try to lay off our mem-
bers at Willowbrook.”

Among the actions the union
has already taken are two sep-
arate court proceedings by CSEA
attorney Pauline Rogers, of the
firm of Roemer and Featherston-
haugh in Albany. In state court
the union is awaiting a judge's
decision on Ms. Roger's request
to be allowed to inspect certain
documents that she feels would
shed light on the case, In federal
court, the union is representing
its Willowbrook members on a
serpentine legal path that Ms.

blasted the State Department
of Mental Hygiene for the
manner in which the department
interprets and conducts discip-
linary hearings under the discip~
linary procedure article of the
CSEA-State contracts.

CSEA's asst. executive director
for State Division affairs, John
M. Carey, said the department
“is violating the intent of the

The Civil Ser-

Assn. has

contract language on disciplin-
ary procedure by arbitrarily
scheduling mass hearings on

short notice at centralized loca-
tions, in effect herding employees
through hearings like so much
cattle and without regard for real
justice.” Mr. Carey said the in-
tent of the disciplinary procedure
is to provide a system of full
justice for employees brought up
on disciplinary charges, but that
the Department of Mental Hy-

giene's interpretation of the pro-
ceedings “makes it virtually im-
possible in most cases to insure
that justice is served and all
rights of the employees are pre-
served.” He said that on occasion
the union experiences some prob-
lems with other departments and
agencies, but that “the Depart-
ment of Mental Hygiene is by
far the worst offender in elrcum-
venting the intent of the dis-
ciplinary procedure."

The union spokesman said the
department “often schedules dis-
ciplinary hearings on short no-
tice without giving us an oppor-
tunity to agree upon the dates
and too little time to prepare
our cases adequately, And,” he
continued, “they often schedule
multiple hearings for the same
date, up to seven, elght or nine
@ day, and pick central hearing
locations, sometimes other than
the work locations of those

being charged.”

Mr. Carey said hearings sched-
uled recently in Rochester are
typical of the manner in which
the Department of Mental Hy-
giene conducts disciplinary hear-
ings. With little more than a
week's notice, and with no mut
ual opportunity for CSEA to
change the date, the department
scheduled five disciplinary hear-
ings for between 10:30 a.m. and

CIVIL SERVICE LEADE

Suffolk County Employee
Honored For Citizenship

HAUPPAUGE—Patricia Cruz, president of the Civil Ser-
vice Employees Assn. civilian unit in the Suffolk County
Police Department, received the public service award re-
cently for helping to apprehend a bank robber last year.

Ms. Cruz, who is a secretary
in the juvenile service section of
the police department, was the
only county employee to be hon-
ored with a public service award
out of the 33 people who received
them at legislative ceremonies
recently, attended by chief dep-
uty Suffolk County executive
Arthur Bergmann, Floyd Linton,
presiding officer of the legisla-
ture, and police commissioner
Donald Dilworth.

On Jan. 5, 1976, Ms. Cruz was
waiting at the drive-in window
of the Chemical Bank tn Smith-
town when she observed a man
circling the bank's parking lot
in his car, According to Ms. Cruz,
after he parked his car, the man
emerged in a bizarre disguise in-
cluding a woman's red wig, sun-
glasses, orange lipstick, a black
leather jacket and carrying a
shoulder bag. Ms. Cruz thought-
fully jotted down the car's license
plate number.

“Information on Equal Employ-
ment Opportunity for State and
Local Governments,” published
by the commission as part of
its technical assistance program
under the Intergovernmental
Personnel Act (IPA).

Norman Beckman, director of
the Commission's Bureau of In-
tergovernmental Personnel Pro-
grams, remarked, “Altered sched-
ules could be a boon to so
many different people who for
various reasons cannot work a
standard work schedule—stu-
dents, working mothers, the
handicapped, and older persons
making the transition into re-
tirement. If more flexible sched-
ules attract such people into the
labor market, employers have @
larger group of qualified appli-
cants from which to hire. Pur-
thermore, by giving employees
more options for their hours of
employment, altered schedules
can improve worker morale and
increase productivity.”

The new various forms of al-
ternative work patterns are:

© Flextime, which is composed
of two distinct kinds of time—
core time, when all employees
must be present, and flexible
time, when employees may choose
their time of arrival and de-
parture within the limits estab-
ished by the organization.

® Job sharing, two people,
each with a permanent, part-
time job, share responsibility for
one full-time position.

Mr, Payne, with 23 years of

Tompkins Local Wins PERB
Decision Against County .-

(From Leader Correspondent)

ITHACA—The Tompkins County Local of the Civil Service Employees Assn. recently
won a complicated labor relations issue when the Public Employment Relations Board ruled
that the County had violated the Taylor Law in unilaterally altering employment con-

ditions.

In the PERB ruling, supported
on appeal by the courts, the
County was told it did not nego-
\iate In good faith with the
CSEA; that moving expenses for
new higher salaried employees
constituted compensation for em-
ployment and are subject to
negotiation, and that because an
issue had gone previously un-
challenged, it did not consti-
tute a permanent waiver of the
right to challenge.

Louis Nayman, CSEA Tompk-
ins County unit president, said
the union was not necessarily
opposed to the compensation, but
was opposed to the manner of
negotiation. Mr, Nayman said the
CSEA is willing to negotiate these
matters, but that the County has
gone ahead without union input

“Actually, we write up con-
tracts for the county personnel
we negotiate against,” Mr. Nay-
man said.

He indicated that the CSEA
has tried to negotiate a separa-
tion of the higher salaried em-
ployees from the rank and file
during negotiations, but the
county has resisted these efforts

despite the fact that county ne-
gotiators were among those
being represented by the CSEA,

The county Board of Repre-
sentatives, through its negoti
tors, claimed that since the CSEA
had not challenged the moving
compensation since it went into
effect in 1969, the union had
waived its right of negotiation.

The PERB rejected that argu-
ment and also the argument that
the moving expenses were not a
condition of employment.

‘The PERB ruled:-“The resolu-
tion of the Board of Supervisors
conditions the right of the suc-
cessful job applicant to reim-
bursement for moving expenses
upon his continuing in the em-
ployment of Tompkins County for
one year; thus, it is compensa-
tion not only for taking the job,
but also for performing satisfac
torily in it for one year.

“Compensation for satisfactory
performance in a job is a term
and condition of employment. It
makes no difference that such
compensation was agreed upon
before the successful job appli-
cant was hired, or that it was

The Willowbrook employees
marched for a couple of hours in
the Indian Summer sunshine last
week before Mr. King led them
on a two-mile walk from the
Capitol past the Governor's Man-
sion to the DMH headquarters
on Albany's Holland Avenue.

Strains of the civil rights song,
“We Shall Overcome,” echoed
through Albany streets as the
marchers set out on the long
walk. Periodically, groups of
union members broke into
chants of, “Hell, No! We won't
go!” and, as the procession

reached Gov. Hugh Carey's man-
sion a few blocks from the Cap-
itol, workers waved signs pro-
claiming “State Jobs are Not for
Sale,” “UCP Out of Willowbrook”
and “We Ain't Gonna Let Gov.
Carey Kick Us Out.”

At DMH headquarters, Mr.
King again vowed to lead his fel-
low employees in continued ac-
tions against the threatened lay-
offs at Willowbrook. A demon-
stration on the Willowbrook
grounds several weeks ago was
step one in the plan to eliminate
layoffs, according to Mr. King.
‘That action was followed by pic-

five were employees at the

the union was forced to make

Mr. Carey noted.

“Additionally,” he said, “all

Political Action Planned
By Columbia County Local

HUDSON—The Columbia County Local of the Civil Ser-
vice Employees Assn. is preparing to become actively in-
volved in political action in the upcoming county supervisor
race, according to Tom Haigh, CSEA Local president, who re-

leased the following statement
concerning this new area of en-
deavor:

“Public employees work for the
public by working on a day-to-
day basis with the local politi-
cians in a given area, Because of
this relationship, public employ-
ees often know which politician
is campaigning in office and
which one is working for the
public while in office. Therefore,
as involved citizens, as taxpayers
and as public employees, we will
now begin to get involved in po-
litical action in this county.

The Local's executive board, in
special sessions, voted to become
politically active on @ county

basis as county Local of CSEA.
Individual units within the Lo-
cal also voted to take action in
upcoming primaries as individual
employee groups, Their endorse-
ments may not forecast the final
election endorsements of the
larger county-wide organization,
but will provide individual town,
village, city school district em-
ployees a chance to express their
opinions of a specific situation.
Our political action campaign
will provide information to all
public employees in Columbia
County, including the State Divi-
sion CSEA members who reside
in the county but work else~
where,” Mr. Haigh said,

Ulster Local Sponsors
Meet Candidates Night

KINGSTON—The Ulster County Local of the Civil Ser-

night Sept, 15 at 7:30 p.m, at The Office Restaurant, corner
of Broadway and Field Court in Kingston.

Candidates for both countywide
and citywide offices will be pre-
sent to tell CSEA members where
they stand on issues affecting
public employees, according to
Local president Thomas Phillips.

Mr, Phillip’s Local has invited
all CSEA members within the
county, from both the State and
County Divisions, to attend the
meeting. Each candidate will get
4 four-minute period to make a
speech, and then all candidates
for each office will undergo a
10-minute questioning session by
the union members, At the end
of the evening, all CBEA mem-
bers present will be given secret
ballots to mark their choice for

each office, and, using the re-
sults, the Ulster County Local
will make its endorsements,

“These will not just be paper
endorsements,” Mr. Phillips said.
“We intend to help the candi-
dates of our choice in every way
possible, from manpower to such
things as producing bumper
stickers for them. The CSEA has
been a big factor in elections in
the past, and we intend to con-
Unue to be one.” But in order
to be effective, you must have
@ highly informed membership,
and that's what we are trying to
accomplish with our meet-the-
candidates night."

Ex-Policeman Wins A Race With The Clock .

By MARTIN FOX

MANHATTAN — Stanley
Glazer had himself a race
against the clock last Febru-
ary — and lost. Or at least
that's the way it appeared after
the former policeman was denied
an accidental disability pension,
because his retirement applica-
tion did not formally come be-
fore the Pension Board until
he had been fired for accepting
bribes and illegal eavesdrop-
ping.

Mr. Glazer, however, main-
tained his application was filed
in time. It got to the pension
board late, he claimed, because
@ board stenographer was sick
for three weeks and the results
of his medical examination were

not transcribed and typed in
time.

Persistence paid off for the
ex-cop earlier this month, when
a State Supreme Court judge
ruled in his favor and ordered
the board to vote on his pen-
sion application retroactive to
Feb. 23, five days before he was
sentenced. Since the medical
board had found him disabled
because of an on-duty acci-
dent, the chances are good that
Mr. Glazer will get his pension,

Judge Hilda Schwartz, before
Mr. Glazer's lawsuit came in
Manhattan Supreme Court, said
the Feb. 23 date was important
because that was when the pen-
sion board—formally known as
the Board of Trustees of the

Police Pension Fund—was sched-
uled to hold a regular meeting
and vote on the retirement ap-
Piication.

But because the stenographer's
notes were not ready by Feb. 23,
the board did not consider the
pension request, Instead, It con-
sidered the application at its
next meeting on March 7. But
by that time Mr, Glazer, a 14-
year veteran, was no longer a
cop because he was automatically
discharged following sentencing
Feb. 28 on the conviction. The
board said he was no longer
entitled to a pension because,
under the law, applicants must
be policemen at the time pen-
sions are approved.

A sense of urgency was evident

in the efforts by Mr. Glazer and
his attorney between Feb. 2, the
date of his medical examination,

and Feb. 23. The court decision
spoke of efforts to get the board

Why is this program offered?
Surgical Consultations can be expensive. The cost of a sec-
ond opinion may, in the past, have prevented patients from
seeking consultations. The Second Surgical Consultation Pro-
gram removes this cost barrier by paying the full cost of a con-
sultation arranged by the program. Any X-rays and laboratory
test required to complete the consultation will also be paid. -

All surgery involves certain risks. In some cases, the consul-
tant may suggest an alternative method of treatment, or may
recommend that surgery is not necessary. If the need for sur-
gery is confirmed, a second surgical consultation offers peace
of mind to the patient and reassurance to the doctor that the
proposed surgery is the best treatment for the patient. Con-
sultations offer you and your physician a way to achieve the
highest quality of medical care possible. e

All State and local government employees, retirees, and their dependents
enrolied in the State Health insurance Program are eligible to use this benefit

Name Bernard To Medical Board

KEW GARDENS— Queens
Borough President Donald
Manes has named Canute
C. Bernard, a former Civil
Service Employees Assn. (CSEA)
Board of Directors member, to
the Queens Medical School board
of trustees.

Dr. Bernard, now third vice-
president of the CSEA’s New
York City Local 010, ts also a
surgeon at Jamaica, Harlem and
Columbia Presbyterian Hospitals.

The appointment came a week
after Mr. Manes was criticized by
black leaders in the borough for
not appointing enough blacks to
the medical board. Dr. Bernard
becomes the second black on the
eight-member board, recently

expanded to make room for Dr.
Bernard. David H. Snipe, a Presh
Meadows attorney, is the other
black board member.

Mr, Manes made no mention
of the controversy in announcing
the appointment.

“Dr. Bernard has been very
active in solving community
medical and health problems in
southern Queens and has dem-
onstrated a deep commitment
and involvement in improving
medical services in this borough,”
the Borough President said.

The 53-year-old Costa Rican
native is a delegate for CSEA's

pensation Board, a statewide

Praise Deserved

IVIL servants and civil service union leaders normally
receive few opportunities to bask in glory.
Low-echelon public servants’ lives are usually filled with

hard work, low pay, much abuse and little praise. Their
union leaders must perform the often-thankless task of
helping their co-workers . . . efforts that sometimes bring
the contempt of both their co-workers and management.

We are pleased to note two recent exceptions to this rule,

One involves James Lennon, the Civil Service Employees
Assn.’s Southern Region III president. Mr. Lennon ts the
winner of the E. Mario Gribari Volunteer Service Award,
given to him for years of effort expended in the recreation
field for Westchester County senior citizens, teen-agers and
young children. New Rochelle Mayor Vincent Rippa pre-
sented the award to Mr. Lennon, a New Rochelle resident
and former New Rochelle recreation official.

The other award went to Patricia Cruz, president of the
CSEA's civilian unit of the Suffolk County Police Depart-
ment. Ms. Cruz’s action perhaps defies the old “I don't want
to get involved” adage often associated with New Yorkers
these days.

Not every citizen would have bothered to jot down the
license number of a car driven by a man acting suspiciously
near a bank as Ms. Cruz did. The information led to the
man’s arrest on charges he robbed the bank. For this, Ms.
Cruz was one of 33 Suffolk County residents—and the only
county employee—to receive public service awards recently.

Both Ms. Cruz and Mr. Lennon have every right to feel
proud for their awards just as we are proud of them for
their civic-mindedness.

Too easily it is forgotten that public employees can be
valued members of their communities for reasons other
than the services they perform by means of their jobs.

Your Social Sacurt

Q. My husband and I and
our three small children have
been getting social secrulty since
1972, when he became disabled.
We are thinking about getting a
divorce and I'm wondering how
this would affect our benefits?

A. Your husband and children
would continue getting social se-
curity payments, Your benefits
would stop with the month the
divorce is final, If your marriage
lasted at least 20 years, how-
ever, you may get benefits as a
divorced wife on his record,
starting when you reach 62,

Q. My social security claim was
turned down and I'd like to ap-
peal the decision. Do I need a
lawyer for this?

A. You have @ right to be rep-
resented by a lawyer or other

Person, but the people at any so-
cial security office will be glad
to help you at no charge. You
should contact social security
within 60 days from the date you
received your denial notice.

Q. My 98-year-old mentally re-
tarded son needs special help,
but I can't afford to meet all his
needs. Can social security help
him?

A. If family income and re-
sources are limited, your son may
be able to qualify for supple-
mental security income (SSI)
payments, You can get informa-
tion about applying for SSI pay-
ments by calling or writing any
social security office, The people
there can also refer you to other
agencies that offer help to han-
dicapped children.

Death Penalty Fight
May Bolster GOP,
Divide Democrats

Political issues, even if
totally irrelevant to the cam-
paign, sometimes arise from
the mass of voters, without
regard to the wishes of the can-
didates for public office.

‘Thus, restoration of the death
penalty became a critical issue
in the New York City mayoral
primary, even though there is
nothing that the mayor could do
about it.

Where the tide is strong, poli-
Ucians tend to swim with it
rather than to fight !t. And the
death-penalty tide at the mo-
ment seems to be overwhelming.
According to a number of polls,
approximately 80 percent of the
voters in New York City, pre-
sumably the most liberal sector
of the state, support death pen-
alty legislation.

Public Attitude Irrelevant

Philosophical discussions about
the effectiveness of the death
penalty as a deterrent, or as a
necessary device to obtain social
vengeance, have really nothing
to do with the public attitude.
What has happened is that
“death penalty” has become a
catch phrase reflecting public
disenchantment with many
things.

Heading the list of issues that
concern the public is the appar-
ent breakdown of the criminal

perpetrator may
brought to justice on the grounds
of insanity. The inability of the
city to cope with looting and ar-
son during the blackout in the
middle of July is another factor.

Yet overriding these immedi-
ate events is the public feeling
that the criminal justice system
does not work. The feeling ts
that an arrested criminal de-
fendant is back out on the street
before the cop who arrested him
can get back to his beat.

Somewhat more subtly, the
death penalty issue is also a re-
flection of public disenchant-
ment with high taxes, schools
that don’t teach children how to
read, pot holes in the streets
that never get repaired and the
vast variety of other public ser-
vices that fail to meet public
expectations.

‘The issue may turn out to be
& critical one for Governor Carey,
The Legislature, at its last ses-
sion, passed a death penalty bill,
but it was vetoed by the Gover-
nor, The issue is likely to come
to the fore in October, when the
Legislature is scheduled to return
from recess.

By then the Legislature will
have the opportunity to vote on
an override of the Governor's
veto. Clearly, the Republicans
are prepared to put the Gover-
nor on the spot, and there are
enough Democrats who favor the
death penalty to bring the issue
to a floor fight, It ts uncertain
whether a two-third majority can
be brought to override the veto.

The matter, however, will not
rest there. The issue is certain
to arise again when the Legisla-
ture reconvenes in January for
its session in the gubernatorial
and legislative election year.

Law & You

Dismissal Upheld

This Article 78 proceeding was brought to review a
determination by a town board dismissing petitioner from
employment as a town police officer.

The case came to the Appellate Division, Third Depart-
ment, after transfer by order from the Supreme Court, Al-
bany County, and after remand from a prior appeal. Peti-
tioner sought to review a determination by the Guilderland
Town Board,

The matter was previously before this court and, at
that time, the Appellate Division withheld its decision and
remitted the matter to the town board for a statement of
findings of fact. On remittal, the town board found peti-
tioner guilty based on the finding that “he did take and
remove from Guilderland Town Hall a quantity of motor
oil belonging to the town with the intent of appropriating
it to his own personal use.”

Although three witnesses at the hearing testified that
they had seen petitioner removing motor oil from the police
offices, one of these witnesses stated specifically that she
had seen petitioner place two cans of motor oil in his per-
sonal car. Petitioner has challenged the credibility of these
witnesses. However, it is not the function of the appeals
court to weigh the factual evidence where, as here, sub-
stantial evidence is exhibited to support the town board’s
determination. Therefore, the board’s finding of petitioner's
guilt cannot be disturbed.

Petitioner also contended that the penalty of dismissal
imposed upon him was an abuse of discretion in that it was
grossly excessive. The court stated, “Even though the amount -
of motor oil allegedly removed by petitioner is small, we
cannot say, considering the nature of the offense, that the
penalty imposed is so disproportionate to the misconduct
as to be shocking to one’s sense of fairness.” Thus, a modi-
fication with respect to the penalty imposed is not war-
ranted. Pachucki v, Walters, 394 N.Y.8.2d 495 (A.D. 3d Dept.,
1977).

. . e

A PROCEEDING was commenced pursuant to Article
78 to direct the Board of Higher Education of the City of
New York to accept as being timely filed petitioner's griev-
ance based on her non-reappointment as a lecturer in the
City College history department. The teacher also sought
to have the college comply with grievance procedures as set
forth in the collective bargaining agreement between the
Board of Higher Education and the Professional Staff Con-
gress of the City University of New York. The Supreme
Court, New York County, granted the petition. The Appellate
Division, First Department, unanimously reversed.

The Appellate Court said that following the rejection of
petitioner’s grievance as untimely at the first and second
steps of the contractual grievance procedure, she should
have requested arbitration as provided in the third step of
the grievance procedure. The third step, providing for ar-
bitration, was not followed and, instead, this Article 78 pro-

WHAT’S YOUR OPINION |

By PAMELA CRAIG
‘THE PLACE: Fallsview Lodge, Ellenville

QUESTION: What do you think is the most important issue facing the Civil Service
Employees Assn. today?

Henry Sarno, maintenance operations, Creedmoor

Psychiatric Center: “I feel that
the younger generation must be-
come more involved within the
union, because what is happen-
ing now is their future, They
should actually apprentice by
working on the various commit-
tees, This would educate them
to the rules of civil service and
the CSEA, The union must
reach out and involve them and
prepare them for the hard work

before them. All the benefits we have today must
be continued to be fought for. Those who continue
the fight must be the young members. They must
be prepared to bear the load.”

Joe Quitoni, work control center, Creedmoor Psy-

chiatric Center: “The new
members coming into the CSEA
should become more involved
in bringing up the organization
to its fullest strength. They
should participate when they
wish for increased benefits and
better working conditions. They
can achieve their goals by being
active in the meetings we have.
It's important to recruit young
members because they will have

to continue what we have achieved in the past.

We need

to bring up the membership to its

highest participating level.”

Delores Edge, therapy aide, Manhattan Psychia-

tric Center: “The phasing out
of the Mental Hygiene Depart-
ment is the most crucial issue
facing the CSEA today. I do
not see where the employees
are going to benefit from it.
So in the future, I foresee many
Mental Hygiene employees los-
ing their jobs. I can see these
jobs going to employees in the
private sector. Possibly, the
state plans to pay these em-

Muhammed Hussain, therapy aide, Manhattan

Psychiatric Center: “The de-
institutionalization or the Dr.
Mesnikoff plan is the most cru-
cial issue facing the CSEA to-
day. This would end up in
shortstaffing all the Mental Hy-
@iene facilities. It would also
set a precedent for the state

. to replace civil service workers

with private sector workers. For
example, auditors could be re-

ment by CPA's; maintenance workers in hospitals
could be replaced by private cleaning companies,

typist, Tax and Finance: “The
hottest issue facing the CSEA
today involves the Willowbrook
Developmental staff cutback of
800 employees at the Staten Is-
land institution. A good portion
of the facilities is being turned
over to a private agency that
will hire private-sector em-
ployees to replace state em-
ployees, The Willowbrook action
will affect all the other institu-
tions due to the seniority status

of those excessed employees—quite a house of

could affect every state agency.”

than 20 years of

that hard to be a reality, since we are paid so

little in the first place.”

Manhattan Psychiatric Center:
“The most important issue
facing the CSEx is job security.
With no job security, nothing
else is important. There are
many long-time employees who
deliver tremendous patient care.
Where could these employees go
with their experience and age?
The present administration ts
looking for employees with col-
lege experience. Who is to say
a college education is better

NEWS & FACTS

By A. L. PETERS

Pension Fluke

‘The July calendar of the New
York City Retirement Board in-
cluded 744 applications—all of
which were approved.

‘These included 320 without op-
tions, 113 under Option 1, 56
under Option 2, 120 under Option
3, 80 under Option 4, eight under
Option 4/2, and 47 under Option
4/3. Two hundred thirty-eight re-
funds under $5,000 and loans to
2,347 members amounting to
$2,795,600 were approved. One
hundred sixty-one members with-
drew excess contributions
amounting to $492,980, Ordinary
disability retirement was denied
to 12 members and accidental
disability retirement was denied
to 42 members. Forty-three of the
disability retirements and 19
accidental disability retirements
were approved.

A fluke in the new pension
law that was to apply beginning
last July 1 has newly hired police
officers and firefighters on the
old pension plan. Experts have
discovered that coverage of these
groups under the new plan would
cost localities a good deal more
than they were paying before.
‘Thus the police and firefighters
hired in these localities after
January 1, 1977 won't contribute
the 3 percent of their salaries to-
wards their pension, This will not
apply to secretaries, sanitation
workers and other employees, The
problem arose because the new
pension bill contained a provi-
sion that localities could not
adopt a new plan as it would
cost more than their previous
ones. It actually figured that
the new cost for police and fire-
men would be 27 cents under the
“reform” vs. 23 cents under the

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

Charges Dropped

Editor, The Leader:

CSEA Local No. 654 of the
New York State Department of
Commerce is relieved that the

charges of union “misconduct”
served against its president,
George W. Olson, by Region IV
president Joseph E. McDermott
have been dropped. We feel this
failure on Mr. McDermott’s part
to proceed to trial as mandated
in our union's constitution is a
complete vindication of our well-
founded belief that our president
was innocent of all charges.

The charges stem from the
contract negotiation events of
this past spring. Mr, McDermott
charged, among other things,
that our president violated the
“mandates” of the Delegate Cor.-
vention in March and expressed
“personal viewpoints” contrary
to official positions. The concrete
substance of these charges—a bill
of particulars—was never offered
by Mr. McDermott, even though
our constitution clearly requires
this procedure. This is not sur-
prising, however, since the
charges had no basis in reality,
As members of our Executive
Committee, we can testify that

Mr. Olson carried out the “man-
dates” of the delegates, not to
mention the mandates of our
own local membership. As to ex-
pressing personal viewpoints, we
would like to know why it is a
violation to practice the demo-
cratic right of free speech and
dissent within CSEA!

We also feel that these charges
could have posed a serious threat
to the democratic rights of all
CSEA members, They were aimed
at our right to free expression

LETTERS POLICY

Letters to the Editor should

Leader reserves the right to

sections of letters that exceed
the maximum length, Meaning
or intent of a letter is never

cannot be edited to a reason-
able length are not used un-
less their viewpoint is 50

and dissent in the union and at
our right to vote for and be rep-
resented by persons of our own
choosing

It ts unfortunate, in this re-
gard, that the Board of Directors
on May 12 passed a recommenda-
tion from the Charter Committee
changing the constitutional pro-
cedure bringing charges against
officers of Locals. Previously such
charges could be preferred only
by the Locals concerned. The
resolution passed changed this
to also allow the regional and
statewide presidents the same
powers.

We believe that the introduc-
tion of this recommendation last
March, before the alleged “mis-
conduct" occurred, and the sub-
sequent charges are not at all
coincidental, We call upon all
delegates to the fall convention
to rescind this resolution and
return to the members their
democratic rights.

Finally, we have been forced
to spend substantial funds in
defense of our president, Por
small local such as ours, this
has considerably drained our re-
sources and thus violated our
membership's rights to effec-
tive representation. Bince these
charges were beyond our control,

we believe our union has an ob-
gation to us for full reimburse-
ment, We feel that all these
needed corrections are in the in-
terest of each and every member
of CSEA. Our democratic rights

Willowbrook Conflict
Fires Delegates Against

Private-Sector Members

By MARVIN BAXLEY
ELLENVILLE—Delegates representing the 21 locals of
the Civil Service Employees Assn.'s Metropolitan Region IT
went on record last week against extending union member-

ship to employees in the private sector.

The regional position was
taken following a lengthy dis-
cussion of the pending takeover
by United Cerebral Palsy of
seven buildings at the Willow-
brook Developmental Center
complex on Staten Island
“When private sector member-
ship was approved by statewide
delegates earlier this year, the

intentions were innocent,” said
Region II president Solomon
Bendet. “At that time we were

concerned for those school dis-
trict employees who were being
affected by the contracting out
of services provided by bus
drivers and cafeteria workers.

“T've made up my mind, how-
ever, listening to this discussion
on Willowbrook, that it is bad
for the CSEA to accept into
membership workers from the
private sector. It would put us
into a position of seeking mem-
bers from among United Cereb-
ral Palsy employees, while we
are fighting to retain state work-
ers' jobs earned through the
Merit System,” he explained.

The delegates voted, “That
CSEA not accept for member-
ship employees of private organi-
zations to which state work has
been contracted out.”

Mr. Bendet said he would for-
ward the motion to the statewide
constitution and by-laws commit-
tee for consideration at the
statewide Delegates Meeting next
month.

Willowbrook DC Local 429
president Felton King said, “I
took the chapter presidency for
two years, and I am committing
myself to help the employees
there. But I warn you that Wil-
lowbrook is being used as a pilot
program, and what affects us to-
day will hit your institutions to-
morrow.

Much of the concern generated
over the Willowbrook situation is
the fear that as many as 1,300
employees may eventually be dis-
placed. At present, this has not

Pension Workshop moderator Samuel Emmett, left, of New York

happened.

A motion, presented by Basic
Research Local 438 president
William Bear, was, nevertheless,
approved. Mr, Bear's motion is
‘That the CSEA take out ads in
all newspaper media informing
the public that United Cerebral
Palsy means reducing services to
the public, and that CSEA com-
pile a ist of names and addresses
of all parents whose children are
not getting adequate services and
begin a class action on behalf
of those people.”

Another subject of interest to
state employees in the Metropol-
itan Region was discussed by
Jack Carey, the union's assistant
executive director—State.

Responding to an inquiry by
Region I first vice-president
William DeMartino, of Metropol-
itan Department of Labor Local
350, Mr. Carey noted that a re-
quest for arbitration was filed
last week on the dispute over
personal-leave charge time dur-
ing the blackout July 13 and 14

Herbert Haber has been named
as the arbitrator, Mr. Carey said,
for hearings scheduled to be held
in the latter part of October.

Other motions passed by dele-
gates at the meeting were:

© That the $370,000 in admin-
istrative costs paid to CSEA by
the insurance company be paid
by the state for administrative
costs, and the $370,000 that is
being collected as part of the
premium payments be used for
enlarged benefits or reduced
costs.

Kenneth Altman ponders. Mr. Altman is administrative director of
the New York State Employees Retirement System.

Americans fighting the same battle of the bulge. Poor nutrition
in the form of obesity is a major health problem
in this country.

Medical research scientists call the hazards
of too much fat “The Five D's: Disfigurement,
Discomfort, Disability, Disease, and Death.” A
good way to develop a negative attitude about
fat is to think of it as @ parasite that is draining
you of energy and also placing additional strain
on your heart and health,

And remember, if you are overweight it is
probably because of a glandular problem or
malfunction. Better than 98 percent of over-
weight people are plump because they eat too much of the wrong
food and exercise too little,

A person serious about losing and maintaining his weight loss
should not look upon diet as a temporary hardship, but rather
as a new way of eating for a new way of life.

Stay away from crash diets, formula diets and all the other
guaranteed gimmicks that promise you that you can eat all you
want and become a new person in days. If you have ever tried to
converse with a rabbit you know what a steady diet of only
lettuce can do to one's personality.

If you are overweight then there is a good chance you are a
compulsive eater. You go on eating binges where you eat half
a gallon of ice cream or a box of candy and, even though you are
full and uncomfortable, you keep on eating. If you are this type
of eater, there is a program available that is helping many people
lose weight sensibly. It is a program of recovery for compulsive
eaters called Overeaters Anonymous (OA), A desire to stop eating
compulsively is all that is required for membership. There are no
gimmicks, dues or fees for OA members. The program is based on
the same 12-step recovery program that is used for Alcoholics
Anonymous.

The OA program has been so successful with assisting Navy
personnel that the Navy has spread the program to its bases the
world over.

Federal officials last week filed

the suit automatically suspends

U.S. Hopes To Ease
Worker Hardships

President Carter has reaf-
firmed his commitment to

to act on the application, since
both were well aware that once
Mr. Glazer was sentenced and
dismissed from the force he lost
all rights to a pension, even
though it was for a service-
connected injury.

Judge Schwartz, in ruling for
the ex-policeman, said that if
the board had voted at its reg-
ulary scheduled meeting, the
pension probably would have
been approved, since the board
normally goes along with find-
ings of medica} reports. In this
case, doctors said Mr. Glazer
was entitled to disability benefits
because of the serious neck in-
jury he suffered when a 60-pound
carton fell on him in July 1976.

‘The judge refused to accept
the board's explanation that even
if it met on Feb. 23, it might
not have approved the pension.
Mr. Glazer, she said, was en-
titled to “prompt consideration”
of his application as long as it
was filed in time. By not acting
on it, even though the delay
was not deliberate, the board
violated his rights to due pro-
cess, the judge ruled.

She ordered the board to re-
consider the pension application
as of Feb, 23, when Mr. Glazer
was still a police officer and
eligible for disability benefits.

to federal department heads, the
President directed that every
thing possible be done to avoid
displacing employees from their
jobs during reorganization, and
gave the commission broad au-
thority “to set up additional
mechanisms for providing con-
tinued employment for those
who may face displacement."

Commission Chairman Alan K.
Campbell has said the commis-
sion’s basic approach will be to
“tailor the outplacement assist-
ance to the locality and needs
of affected employees.”

OFFICERS OF CSEA'S LARGEST STATE LOCAL

New York City Local 010 of the Civil Service Employees Assn. recently completed elections to choose
officers for the next two years. Solomon Bendet, at top center, was re-elected as the Local president.
Other officers, from left, are third vice-president Bernard Canute, second vice-president Ben Lipkin, fi-
nancial secretary Anthony Vericella, corresponding secretary Alice DeSimone, recording secretary Marie

Robinson and first vice-president Gennaro Fischetti, The treasurer's position is

vacant: Seymour

Shapiro, who was re-elected to the post, has since become Ineligible to hold office, as a result of his
promotion to management/confidential.

| Corr. Capt Demoted, Retired |

Civil service employment is a
“property right” carrying con-
stitutional protection and it can-
not be withdrawn unless the em-
ployee ts given full opportunity

to safeguard his job interests.

This was the substance of a
Manhattan Supreme Court rul-
ing which reopened the case of a
former captain in the city's Cor-

L.I. Accident Victim

Wins Job,

Back Pay

MANHASSET—Due to the efforts of her Civil Service
Employees Assn. unit, Dolores Saldok will have a job to
come back to in the Town of North Hempstead when she
recuperates from an auto accident. In addition, she will

have some hard-earned back pay
to tide her over.

Ms. Saldok, a clerk typist, was
injured in a traffic accident on
April 30, 1976. On May 3 of
that year she was put on sick
leave but was later informed
on July 2, that she was termin-
ated. The town claimed that the
accident had nothing to do with
her job and her inability to re-
port to work was not the result
of work-related conditions.

Eddie Ochenkoski, president of
the CSEA unit, along with an at-

torney, filed a show cause order
and in subsequent court action
had Ms. Saldok reinstated to her
position in a leave of absence
without pay status

Mr. Ochenkoski then filed a
grievance, with the assistance of
CSEA fieldman Mike Aiello,
based on a provision in the
Town-CSEA contract that en-
titles disabled employees to half-
pay. A three-member panel, ap-
pointed by Town Supervisor
Michael Tully, ruled in favor of
the CSEA and Ms. Saldok.

October 1 Federal Schedule Pay Raise

President Jimmy Carter is expected to announce a pay raise
for 3 million federal workers any week now.

The size of the raise, which would become effective Oct. 1,
had not been settled as the Leader went to press, but is expected
to be 7.05 percent. President Carter has already pledged to adjust
federal wages so they are comparable to private sector earnings,

The Federal Employees Pay Council, a panel of unions, is
pleased with the offer, but argues, nevertheless, that because of

The Advisory Committee on Federal Pay, consisting of private
sector and labor relations members, had not made its suggestion
by the end of last week, but was expected to do so soon. The
independent group was asked to make a recommendation by the

Employees Pay Council.

then forced to retire—but was
not given any notice of the dis-

Judge Martin B. Stecher, act-
ing in response to a lawsuit by
James B. Gorman, turned the
case over to @ special referee
with instructions that he make
recommendations and report
back to him.

Mr, Gorman claimed that the
department tried him in absen-
tla—never notifying him that a
disciplinary hearing was sched-
uled to consider his reduction in
rank and subsequent retirement.
The former captain also told the
court that he had never received
notice that charges were pending
against him for some undis-
closed violations,

The Correction Department
defended itself by maintaining
that it had not prepared charges
against Mr. Gorman until it had

JOIN CSEA?
|GET ALL THE
BENEFITS
ANYWAY,
RIGHT?

CLIP THIS AD AND GIVE IT TO A NON-MEMBER.

As we said. Wrong! If every employee of every work
location in the County Division belonged to CSEA,
your wallop at the bargaining table would be that
much stronger. Sure, now you get what your nego-
tiators win. But it could be more

If every eligible person working for New York State
belonged to CSEA, who knows where the State units
could go. But as long as a certain percentage of
employees do not belong, management (the State of
New York) will try to pit non-members against
members

CSEA is only as strong as it is united. Make no
mistake about it in most areas of both local and
state government CSEA is strong. But anything less
than 100% membership participation still leaves
something to be desired

In all our 67 plus years of battling for public em-
ployees, we've yet to see a non-member turn down a
newly-won benefit or raise. The dues are only $58.50
a year. $1.13 a week. And God knows where public
employees within New York State would be today if
it weren't for CSEA. Government is not known for its
philanthropic attitude toward its employees

Over the years CSEA has won protection for its
members so that even a change of political adminis-
trations cannot touch them. CSEA has won raise
after raise, benefit after benefit. Yet, there are some

people who still don't join. Certainly, $1.13 dues a
week isn't the answer. The price of job security has
got to be worth more than that

There are thousands of dedicated public employees
who give freely of their own time and effort to keep
CSEA strong—to ward’ off bureaucratic employee
controls from every level of government. When
CSEA members get together they discuss this
situation in hard-nosed terms. They don't calla non-
member a non-member. They call him a FREE-
LOADER. If you're a non-member, think of this: Your
tax dollars are supporting those officials who would
work against your new benefits. Why not give a little
support for those who are working for you? CSEA.

Look up your CSEA representative this week and
ask him for a sign-up card. Sure, we're on a member-
ship drive. But not for any other reason than to build
a better future for all of us. Remember — every penny
of CSEA’s dues goes toward representing you
We're not supporting some high monkey-monks in
Washington, or bailing somebody out of jail. We're
working to maintain our position of being The Most
Powerful Force in New York State working for Public
Employees. We need your moral and financial support

We also have great voluntary group insurance
programs available that'll save you many times your
dues on your home, auto, life and disability insurance
That's worth the price of admission alone

CIVIL SE

CHARGE EMPLOYEE FIRED FOR FILING SUIT
The Civil Service Employees Assn. is filing for recognition before the National Labor Relations
Board, which governs private sector labor, in order to become the collective bargaining agent
for the former Saratoga City School District Transportation Department employees, now work-
ing for a private contractor, the Upstate Transzortation Consortium. CSEA Capital Region IV
supervisor Jack Corcoran recently conducted a press conference revealing that the Consortium
had fired Al Skellie, a driver, when he refused to drop his participation in a civil suit against
the school district for contracting out the transportation program illegally, From left are Mr,
Corcoran, Capital Region public relations associate Dan Campbell, Mr. Skellie and Saratoga Edu-

CSEA Files Improper Practice
Suits Against Hoosick Falls

HOOSICK FALLS—The newly organized Village of Hoosick Falls unit of the Civil
Service Employees Assn. has filed two improper practice suits against the village for ac-
tions which it considers to be discriminatory toward the union.

The first suit is being filed on behalf of Thomas Bass, president of the unit, and

John Mahar, a union officer,
who were suddenly laid off by
the village board allegedly for
fiscal reasons. Mr. Bass noted
that these layoffs are unprece-
dented in the village employment
history, According to William
Lochner, Regional field repre-
sentative, the second suit charges
the village board with making
verbal threats to abolish a num-
ber of personnel positions and
to contract out the work. This
action comes in the middle of
contract negotiations being
handled for the first time by the
new bargaining unit.

Explaining that the CSEA has
only been constituted in the vil-
lage since January 1977, Mr.
Lochner commented, “The Vil-
lage of Hoosick Falls has exhib-
ited the most parochial and pro-
vocative attitude toward public
employees that I have ever en-
countered.”

Win First Steps
On 4 Snow Days
O.T. Grievances

GRAND ISLAND—Four mem-
bers of the Niagara Frontier Lo-
cal of the Civil Service Employ-
ees Assn. received favorable sec-
ond step decisions on grievances
which they filed in protest of
non-payment of overtime during
last winter's bilzzard.

David L. Alcorn, Agop J. Ispa-
hanyan, Francis J. Lysaght, and
Albert C. Ungaro, of the Depart-
ment of Parks and Recreation.
Niagara Frontier State Parks
Commission, were the grievants

According to Dario A. Violanti,
Niagara Frontier Loca) president
the members were pleased with
the decisions and anticipate pur-
suing the matter further.

‘The village attorney is willing
to negotiate a settlement, says
Mr. Lochner, but the board is
not and has refused several re-
quests for meetings with the
CSEA.

In a statement to the Leader,
Mr. Bass said, “I would just like
to see the village negotiate or
go to PERB (Public Employment
Relations Board) and get it over

with. Let PERB decide who ts
right and who ts wrong.”

Though he is optimistic that
PERB will rule in favor of the
CSEA, Mr. Lochner stated that
such discrimination is a very dif-
ficult thing to prove. “You know
it is there, but unless the man-
agement comes right out and
denounces the union you can
provide no solid proof.”

Court Worker Reorganizing
Under Way In Region IV

ALBANY — Julia Drew,
president of the Civil Service
Employees Assn. Capital Re-
gion Court of Claims Local
and field representative William
Lochner have submitted an
amendment to the CSEA charter
committee which would reor-
ganize all court workers who
were state employees prior to
April 1 into a single Judicial Lo-
cal,

Ms, Drew said, “All will bene-
fit from being one.”

A number of orientation meet-
ings and mailings have been
planned to inform members of
the changes,

Meanwhile, regional field rep-
resentative Gregory Davis is

members that there will be no
decreases in salaries or leave
time

The CSEA has also informed
these employees that late in
1977 or early 1978 the Office of
Court Administration for the
state will review job titles and
duties in order to standardize po-
sitions. The CSEA has obtained
the right to see this report and
will follow up with grievances if,
and where, necessary,

With a great number of new
members being recruited through
reorganization, Capital Region
TV president Joseph McDermott
commented, "This is part of our
overall plan to increase member-
ship throughout the Region; our
efforts are ever ongoing,”

7 ] Take Action To Prevent

Syracuse Health Center
Layoffs Planned Friday

SYRACUSE—An improper practice charge will be filed
with the state labor board this week on behalf of the em-
ployees of the Syracuse Neighborhood Health Center, all
of whom are scheduled to be laid off Friday, when the center

is expected to close because of
financial problems.

Terry Moxley, Civil Service
Employees Assn. field represen-
tative, said that the federally-
funded health center, with about
100 employees, has been the vic-
tim of its own mismanagement,
despite warnings from the union
and others for several years.

Mr. Moxley said the center re-
ceives half of its funds from the
Department of Health, Education
and Welfare, a quarter from pri-
vate sources and a quarter from
insurance groups such as Medi-
caid, Medicare and private in-
surers.

The lack of collections from
the insurers has been the cause
of the center's “chronic econo-
mic problems,” Mr. Moxley said.
He added that, historically, the
center, administered through the
Upstate Medical Center for the
Research Foundation of the State
University, has turned to layoffs
and terminations as an answer to
its mismanagement —
touching the $50,000 a
people.”

“It's always the grades six,
seven, eight and nine that are
affected. There were no raises
in 1976 or ‘77 and they're going
to terminate the whole operation
unless they get a three-month
contract extension with us," Mr.
Moxley said.

He indicated that the CSEA is
willing to grant the extension if
the center will tell them how
much money it is requesting
from HEW; if it will guarantee
no layoffs during the extension,
and if there will be no reduction
in benefits during the extension.
The center, according to Mr.
Moxley, has refused this arrange-
ment.

A not-for-profit group that is
taking over the center has been
grossly misinformed by Upstate
and the center administrators,
Mr. Moxley charged. “SUNY told
them it can’t afford the salaries,
pensions, etc, But if they looked
at the new contract they would
have seen it's all predicated upon
the funding.”

The center's goal, Mr. Moxley
said, has been to eliminate the
present staff so that cheaper un-
trained help could be obtained.
He said this runs contrary to the
original intent of the program
which was to go into the com-

Region VI Meeting
Sept. 30-Oct. 1

CHEEKTOWAGA — Western
Region VI of the Civil Service
Employees Assn. will hold a
meeting Sept. 30 through Oct. 1
at the Trenholm East Inn, Thru-
way exit 44, Victor.

‘The first official function will
be at 7:30 p.m., Friday, a “get-
acquainted ‘hour.” County and
state meetings will follow at 9:30

era) business meeting at 2 pm.
that afternoon.

munity and train the people
from the community to treat
others from the community.

“The salaries are not excessive.
As a matter of fact, they barely
meet the standards established
by the federal government. There
is no way they are going to at-
tract competent people at these
wages,” Mr. Moxley said.

Richard Strauss, assistant to
the director of the Health Center,
said that the reason for the clos-
ing was not financial, but rather
the result of new federal regula-
tions. The financial difficulties,
he said, go back to 1969 when
the health center was founded
under the Office of Economic
Opportunity which did not place
& priority on collections.

The research foundation,
which administers the center, be-
gan to plan a year ago for the
transition period between admin-
istrations, Mr. Strauss said, The
problem, he explained, is that
currently neither the old nor the
future administration is in a po-
sition to prevent the pending Iay-
offs.

Mr. Moxley's view is that this
explanation is a shield behind
which the administration is hid-
ing.

Saratoga, Warren
Training Program
Briefs Officers

SARATOGA—As part of an
overall plan to improve the
organization of all Locals in
the Capital Region of the
Civil Service Employees Assn.,
an officer training program is
being conducted in Saratoga and
Warren Counties, where several
new officers have been elected.

The purpose of the program is
to brief officers on the structure
of the CSEA, duties and respon-
sibilities of officers, grievance
procedure and field service,

Barbara Falzano, Regional re-
search assistant, addressed the
group on the organization of the
CSEA, while Gregory Davis, Re-
gional field representative, spoke
on general grievance procedures
and negotiations. Mr. Davis
stressed that each unit will re-
ceive somewhat different instruc-
tions on these topics, since each
follows a different method.

Jack Corcoran, Regional field
supervisor, gave a talk on the
duties and responsibilities of of-
ficers.

“In the past we have had
rather loose organization in these
areas. Now, with the election of
new officers come new ideas,
making these counties an ideal
place to start the reorganization,”
he said.

Commenting on the Saratoga
County workshop, Jack Miller,
CSEA organizer, stated, “I was
elated over the response by mem-
bers of the executive board to
the program; the content was
excellent.”

According to Mr. Davis, the
staff is currently working on
plans for similar workshops in
the other counties, particularly
those with little or no organiza-
on.
