PST Employees Get Another Chance To Vote CSEA

ALBANY—The State Public Employment Re-
lations Board will once again send out election
ballots next week to state employees in the Pro-
fessional, Scientific and Technical Bargaining
Unit to determine if the incumbent Civil Service
Employees Assn. will continue as the exclusive
bargaining representative of the 40,000 employees.

The ballots for the runoff union representation
election are scheduled to be mailed to eligible
PS & T voters on Monday, Jan. 12.

Although CSEA outpolled a rival coalition of
four AFL-CIO unions and a Teamsters local by
510 votes, 1,500 votes that were challengeable or
cast for no representation resulted in neither
CSEA nor the Public Employees Federation gain-
ing the absolute majority needed to win the Dec.
5 election. PERB then called for a runoff between

CSEA and PEF only with ballots to be counted
on Monday, Feb. 2.

Calling the current election “one of the most
vital union representation elections in the state's
history,” CSEA president Theodore C. Wenzl
stressed the need for all eligible CSEA members
in the PS & T unit to vote for CSEA as well as
“urge other PS & T employees to do likewise.

“If ever there was a need for CSEA members
to demonstrate their solidarity and unity, this
is the time. Effective bargaining for all state
employees, regardless of their unit, is dependent
on this. A divided, apathetic membership is a
severe handicap for union negotiators at the bar-
gaining table. And, to those whose choice was
CSEA in the Dec. 5 election but didn’t bother to
vote, we can only point out that the current need

BUFFALO—Final written arguments were to be submit-

for a runoff election clearly demonstrates the
importance of each individual's vote in vital rep-
resentation elections like this one,” Wenzl said.

PS & T employees who are on unpaid leave,
but otherwise meet voting requirements, are also
eligible to vote in this election although PERB
will not automatically send balldts to them. Indl-
viduals on unpaid leave can have special replace-
ment ballots issued to them if they call PERB
directly to request the ballot at the phone num-
bers listed below.

All eligible PS & T voters who do not receive
ballots by Jan. 19 should call PERB collect on
Jan. 19, 20, 21, 22 or 23 and request a replacement
ballot. PERB phone numbers are: Albany (518)
457-2929; New York City (212) 661-6970, and Buf-

Lined up in icy weather, members of the Cortland County unit, Civil Service Employees Assn., held
a “sign-in” for welfare benefits and food stamps at the county's Social Services Department. The “sign-

in” was held to dramatize the desire of unit members for what was called “a cost~

survival” wage

increase. The unit and the county have had more than 16 months of unproductive contract negotiations.

Cortland Unit Has Mass
Welfare Benefit Sign-In

CORTLAND—Nearly 50 members of the Cortland County Civil Service Employees Assn.
unit staged a mass sign-in for welfare benefits and food stamps recently to dramatize their
desire for a “cost-of-survival pay increase.” Sixteen months of unproductive contract ne-
gotiations with the county government precipitated the sign-in.

Two dozen county highway de-
partment employees first lined
up in bitterly cold weather out-

county legislators recently gave
themselves a 67 percent increase,

side the Social Services Depart-
ment office building to apply for
assistance and their numbers
were soon swelled by fellow
county employees from court-
house departments.

CSEA negotiator Terry Moxiey,
of Syracuse Region IV, said the
unit, which has about 270 mem-
bers, realizes that the county is
facing financial problems and is
seeking only a “cost-of-survival”
pay increase of about 6 percent
without any increases of fringe
benefits.

Mr, Moxley pointed out that

from $3,000 a year to $5,000 a
year, gave the county attorneys
a 55 percent raise, from $11,000
to $17,000, and increased the fee
paid to its professional labor ne-

gotiator, a Buffalo firm, from
approximately $11,000 to more
than $13,000.

“According to our estimate, the
county's negotiator is getting
more than $250 an hour,” Mr.

Carey's Executive Order +10 as
it applies to certain state em-
ployees in the, Professional, Scl-
entific and Technical Bargaining
Unit.

Meanwhile, a temporary re-
straining order granted by State
Supreme Court Justice Prank J.
Kronenberg Nov. 7, continues in
effect, thus blocking the state
enforcement of the order which
requires the submission of an
eight-page detailed financial dis-
closure statement of doctors, sci-
entists, psychiatrists and others
earning over $30,000 per year.

Robert L. Lattimer, president
of CSEA’s Western Region, head-
quartered in the Buffalo suburb
of Cheektowaga, said the suit was
brought by CSEA in behalf of
several hundred PS&T personnel
specifically but “also to stop
Carey from expanding this non-
sensical disclosure to other civil
servants or perhaps all civil ser-
vants.””

In oral arguments before Jus-
tice Mattina, CSEA regional at-
torney Charles R. Sandler de-
clared the executive order vio-
lated the “penumbral zone of pri-
vacy"” guaranteed by amend-
ments 1, 3, 4. 5 and 9 of the Bill
of Rights and denied due process
“to the plaintiffs" (the PS&T
people! as guaranteed by the
14th Amendment to the U. 8.
Constitution.

“This is no fancied esoteric
claim—but a very realistic chal-
lenge to their constitutional
Tights by the executive depart-
ment, particularly the defendant,
Carey,” Mr. Sandler argued.

At the same time he conceded
that the state and the public had
the right to certain reasonable.

sible conflict of interest, as in

that in the case of the three
doctor-scientists in whose name
the suit was brought, or the 39
others at Roswell Park Memorial
Institute who joined the suit and
the hundreds of others “similarly
situated throughout the state,”
there was no public purpose
served by the disclosures.

Mr. Sandler pointed out that
Dr. James T. Evans, one of the
named plaintiffs at the state’s
famed cancer research and treat-
ment center, is a resident surgeon
whose time is used 50 percent in
clinical cancer surgery, 30 per-
cent in research, and 20 percent
in residents’ supervision, “and it

lic where his wife has charge ac-
counts or what the size of his

Wage Freeze Fight

Promised |

n Putnam

—lrate CSEA Chapter

(From Leader Correspondent)

CARMEL—The Putnam County chapter, Civil Service

Employees Assn., plans a fight

against the County Board of

Supervisors’ action imposing a wage freeze on all county

employees.

Russel Cheney, president of
the chapter, called the freeze “il-
legal and a violation of every
tenet of the contract.”

The pact was agreed to last
August by the CSEA chapter and
the Board. The contract had
called for an across-the-board
raise of $2,400 for all county
employees retroactive to Jan. 1
1975.

Mr. Cheney said the executive
board has been authorized by
vote of the membership to take
whatever action it believes is
necessary to combat the freeze

“The executive board will do
whatever it has to do in order
to guarantee jobs and raises for
people,” Mr. Cheney said.

The $2,400 raise, which was to
be spread over a two-year peri-
od, in six-month increments, was
a major feature of a contract
agreed to by the Board, and
narrowly averted what would

have been the first strike by
public employees in the coun-
ty’s history. The payments were
to be $700 on Jan. 1, 1975; $500
July 1; $600 Jan. 1, 1976, and
$600 July 1

‘The contract was adopted soon
after the successful conclusion
of the Dutchess County em-
ployees’ strike, the first action
of its kind in the state. Putnam
County employees are said to be-
lieve that the wage freeze im-
posed by the Board, in effect,
cancels the contract approved by
the same Board last August

The Board imposed a freeze
Dec. 20 as one of the measures
it claimed was needed to cut a
controversial $21 milion budget
The freeze was expected to save
$530,953 in the projected budget.
The freeze will affect all per-
sons on the county payroll in-
cluding elected officials.

‘Lulus’ Again Are Ruled Illegal;
Lawmakers’ Repayment Ordered °

ALBANY—State Supreme Court Justice Edward 8. Conway ruled last week that the
“lulus” or additional funds voted by members of the State Legislature for themselves are

illegal and must be repaid.

The Civil Service Employees Assn, received a similar ruling about two months ago

from Justice Conway in a case
brought by union attorneys. This
latest decision is seen as a broad-
er one in scope and came as a
result of a suit brought by the
New York Public Interest Re-
starch Group, a government
scrutiny organization styled along
the lines of consumer protection
bodies

If upheld by higher courts,
Justice Conway's ruling means
that 163 of the 210 members of
the State Senate and Assembly
would be required to repay more
than $800,000 in “lulus” they
voted for themselves as the Leg-
islature’s regular session ended
last year.

In the 1975 regular session, the
lawmakers increased 11 and
udded 45 new “lulus” at a cost
of around $220,000 over amounts
voted in the previous year. In
contrast, the state employees re-
ceived only a one-time $250
“bonus” instead of a hoped-for
wage increase. The NYPIRG rul-
ing is regarded as a broader one
than that handed down by Jus-

tice Conway in the CSEA case in
that it appears to sustain charges
by the public Interest group that
although the Legislature has
voted itself “lulus" for a number
of years, the practice has always
been illegal.

The State is expected to ap-
peal both the CSEA and NYP-
IRG case rulings.

In agreeing with NYPIRG,
Justice Conway said, “The Leg-
islature itself has stated repeat-
ediy that under the State Con-
stitution, neither the salary nor
any other allowance can be al-
tered during the term of office
and the public policy embodied
in the Constitution prohibits a
member of the Legislature from
gaining any new or additional
benefits, direct or indirect, dur-
ing his current term of office.”

“Lulus" range from $21,000
paid to Republican Senate Ma-
Jority Leader Warren M. Ander-
son and Democratic Assembly
Speaker Sianley Steingut to $1,-
000 stipends paid to ranking
minority members of minor sub-
committees,

All members of the Senate and
Assembly are paid $23,500 a year
in salary, travel expenses from
their home districts to Albany,
and up to $40 a day for living
expenses while on legislative
business. They also receive
money to operate their offices,

The practice of “lulus”—a
shorthand way of saying “in lieu
of expenses" —grew during the

years when legislators did not
have @ set expense limit, which
came into existence in 1974. Tt
was traditional for the law-
mnkers to vote themselves a set
amount, most recently $5,000, to
take care of expenses.

‘The higher “lulus” granted to
leadership posts were based on
the contention that leaders had
to spend more time on the job
and that their expenses caused
by the additional duties were
higher.

In late September, Assembly-
man Andrew Stein (D-L, Man-
hattan).called on Speaker Stein-
gut to abide by Justice Conway's
ruling in thé CSEA case and
termed the payments “bonuses
for well-behaved _ legislators.”
Added Mr. Stein: “It is time for
Mr. Steingut to exert leadership
for the people of the State of
New York and save $1 million in
taxpayer money. As the elected
leader of the New York State
Assembly, Mr. Steingut should
view his role as greater than re-
warding his camp followers and
punishing his enemies.

“This time of fiscal crises
leaves no room for political
games," Assemblyman Stein add-
ed. “The people have lost faith
in government. It is easy to un-
derstand why. Mr. Steingut can-
not ask the people to do what he
will not do himself, Legislative
sacrifice and discretion are need-
ed now.”

Uncover Six ‘Skeletons’ Rattling

In State's Lottery Division Closet

ALBANY—The Civil Service Employees Assn. said it has uncovered the existence of a
six-person “skeleton crew” of political appointees remaining on the payroll of the State
Lottery Division at a combined salary of $95,000, despite the fact that the agency has been

closed down since October.

A union spokesman said last
week that three of the six have
an average of five months’ se-
niority; 320 civil servants fired
when Gov. Hugh L. Oarey shut
down the lottery operation had
an average of over nine years in
the state service.

“In the name of economy, the
Governor lays off hundreds of
hard-working employees who won
their jobs through competitive
civil service exams, but he al-
ways saves the high-paid politi-
cal hacks who have nothing to
do,” the spokesman said.

called “skeleton crew” is the po-
litically appointed marketing di-
rector of the defunct agency who

“It is ridiculous to retain a

er has anything to market,” the
spokesman said. “This kind of
scandal has been the trademark
of the Carey Administration.”

named, “a single defendant—the
top executive—is plaintiffs’ only
unremitting adversary.”

Repeatedly, referring to the
Governor as “defendant Carey,”
Mr. Sandler introduced into evi-
dence various correspondence
from the other defendants which
indicated positions ranging from
outright opposition to the order
to doubts an@ confusion about
its scope and application. The
other three defendants include
the New York State Department
of Health, Roswell Park Me-
morial Institute and the NYS
Board of Public Disclosure.

Mr. Sandler introduced into
the record “the first set of rules"
by the Board of Public Disclosure,
dated Nov, 12, although instruc-
tions for completion of the com-
plex forms said they were to be
submitted by Nov. 10.

While making the “Over-
breadth Doctrine" a key point,
Mr. Sandler also contrasted “the
poorly drawn Executive Order
#10” with existing New York
State statutes “clearly drawn —
with which we could live.” The
Jaws, all providing procedures for
Public disclosure “in a reason-
able manner,” he said, include:
General Municipal Law, Public
Officers Law, Local Finance Law
and the Unconsolidated Laws.

Under the “Overbreadth Doc-
trine.” affirmed by the U. 8.
Supreme Court in Shelton vs.
Tucker in 1960, and in other
cases, there “must be a balance
of interest between the parties,
permitting the attainment of
governmental purposes with least
restriction on rights of individ-
uals,” Mr. Sandler explained, “in
this case the violation is not
only overbreadth but overkill.”

Arguing for the enforcement
of the executive order, Michael
FP. Colligan of Albany, an assis-
tant attorney general. said that
“anything less than full disclo-
sure would be ineffective,” and
cited cases supporting from other
states.

with the release of figures show-
ing statewide unemployment up
to 10.2 percent, representing
more than three-quarters of a
million workers out of jobs.
CSEA, representing approxi-
mately 147,000 state employees,
charged that other political ap-
pointees on the lottery's “skele-
ton crew" include the supervisor
of district offices, who makes
$16,000 a year. Lottery district
offices are no longer in operation.
Others who will continue to
hold their political appointments
are the press secretary and the
administrative assistant to form-
er lottery chief Jerry Bruno, ac-
cording to the union sources. The
pair continues to receive $29,000

in salaries, even though Mr.
Bruno has been deposed.

The CSEA spokesman said, “We
deplore the Governor's callous
treatment of the career civil ser-
vant who puts in an honest day's
work, when at the same time
he always bas plenty of high-
paid jobs for his political cron-
ies. Who does he think he’s fool-
ing? How much money is he
saving the taxpayers when he's
putting thousands of people out
of work and onto the unemploy-
ment and welfare lines? He is
obviqusly interested in his own
political future, not in saving the
taxpayers’ money. He can no
longer be believed by any work-
ing person in the state.”

Moxley said.

‘The CSEA negotiator said that
in a test carried out by the unit
here recently, a county employee
with two children applied for
welfare benefits and was granted
& $130-a-week income supple-
ment and food stamps. The em-
ployee had worked for the county
for 5'4 years.

“It would be cheaper for the
county to give us the raise we're
asking for than to pay us wel-
fare,” Mr. Moxley observed.

The chairman of the County
Legislature's ways and means
committee, Michael Colasurdo,
said at a public budget hearing
recently the County had accepted
the CSEA request for pay in-
creases of $500, $600 and $600
per year of a three-year contract.

However, Mr. Colasurdo said,
no agreement was reached be-
cause CSEA rejected the Coun-
ty’s counterproposal that em-
ployees who now work 30 hours
a week during June, July and
August and 35 hours a week the
rest of the year be phased into
a@ 35-hour-week all year-'round
over the same three-year period.

Five days later, on Christmas
Eve, Mr. Colasurdo issued a press
release proposing a year-'round
35-hour work week for all county
employees and a pay increase of
only $326 for county employees

for 1976.

The County Legislature's
spokesman called the $325 of-
fer “very liberal” compared to
the $250 raise given to state em-
ployees in 1975, und said it would
“allow county employees to cope
with the damaging effects of in-
Mation while protecting the tax-
payers from higher burdens.

“County employees must real-
ize that fringe benefits—retire-
ment, social security and health
insurance — are costing county
taxpayers more than $900,000
annually. As long as fringe bene-
fits continue at their present
high level, it will be very diffi-
cult to finance substantial pay
increases for public employees,”
Mr. Colasurdo said.

During the mass sign-in, coun-
ty Social Services Department
personnel, themselves members
of the unit, passed out applica-
tion forms and made appoint-
ments for members applying for
ald.

County Social Services Com-
missioner Donald Lamont said
anyone could apply for assist-
ance. “It's our job to determine
whether they are eligible.”

The State Public Employment
Relations Board last month an-
nounced the appointment of
fact-finder Donald E. Cullen to
the dispute between Cortland

Luis Ramirez, a retarded resident, was found dead in a wooded area adjacent to the

administration building follow-

He had been missing since Dec.

ents appeared to make inquiries
about their son.

Cleophus A. Robinson, a chief

ordered a search, which was dis-
continued at 11:30 p.m. because
of darkness. Resuming the search
the next morning, Mr. Ramirez's

dent of the Willowbrook CSEA
chapter, claims that the wrong
employees have been suspended.
He maintains that the suspen-
sion of the lowest paid employees
“is an obvious attempt by the
administration to take the weight
off their own backs, and to make
patsies of those least responsi-
ble.”

Mr. Smith said that the sus-
pended employees took appro-
priate action on the day Mr.
Ramirez was reported missing by
notifying the institution's secur-
ity guard, the grounds supervisor,
the locai police precinct and the
resident's parents by telegram.
Purther, Mr. Smith said, the em-
ployees had recorded in a log
book that Mr. Ramirez was miss-
ing. Therefore, he said, Dr. Slaw-
inski, who was the chief admin-
istrator on call on Dec. 24, should
have made himself aware of the

Louis Siegel, chief of service on

“It’s unconscionable that four
highly paid administrators, in
addition to a building team lead-
er, knew nothing at all about a
missing resident for four days.
I hold them all responsible and
suspendable,” Mr. Smith asserted

Pat Fraser, the chapter's griev-
ance committee chairman, said
that the union, anticipating
probable disciplinary action
against the suspended employ-
ees, is gathering evidence which
will show that they acted prop-
erly. He insists that the admin-
istrators’ own faulty communi-
cation mitigated against their be-
ing properly informed of the
events leading up to the incident.

Mr. Ramirez had been a resi-

Layoff Procedures & Rights Outlined ©

ALBANY —Most state employees

were notified either in person or by
certified mail on Friday, Jan. 2, ac-
cording to Civil Service Employees
Assn. research director William L,

under the state layoff procedure
which can affect his or her layoff
status.

Layoff procedures, as incorpor-
ated in the Civil Service Law and
Rules, apply on the basis of layoff
units within the employment of the
State of New York. The following is
a list of the layoff units for state
agencies, which should enable em-
ployees to determine the layoff unit
in which their present position
exists.

ming, Yates

Por Agencies or State Agencies not

Agency ts the layoff unit or the remain-
der of the Agency not listed above is
the layoff unit.

IF POSITION IS ABOLISHED

If you are notified that your position
has been abolished, and you are a com-
petitive class employee or a non-com-
petititve class employee (with five years
of non-competitive class service), you
may have your status affected in one of
the following ways

® You my be offered a reassignment
to another position in the same title
and salary grade, or in a lower title
and salary grade within your layoff
unit, If offered a reassignment, you will
be asked to indicate your acceptance or
rejection of such reassignment quickly
so that & determination can be made
regarding what specific employees are
to be laid off. If you reject a reassign-
ment offer, you are considered to be
consenting to a subsequent suspension
wherein you will be laid off and your
name placed on a preferred list. Should
you accept a permanent reassignment
(which may involve relocation of your
place of employment), to a title and
salary grade identical to the one you
now hold, your name will not be placed
on a preferred list and you will con-
tinue in your employment. Should you
accept reassignment to a lower level
position (which may involve relocation
of your place of employment), you will
continue employment in the lower level
position and your name will be placed
on @ preferred list for the title which
you held immediately prior to reassign-
ment.

© For permanent competitive class em-
ployees, Section 80 of the Civil Service
Law provides for “vertical bumping.”
(It should be understood that a per-
manent competitive class employee who
accepts a reassignment, or who rejects
a reassignment with the result that his
name ts placed on a preferred list, loses
his “vertical bumping" rights under
Section 80).

When a position is abolished in a
specific title, the least senior employee
holding that title within the layoff unit
is suspended or displaced and has an
opportunity to displace the least senior
employee in the next lower occupied
tle in direct line of promotion in the
same layoff unit providing he has
greater seniority than the least senior
employee in the lower occupied title in
direct line of promotion.

If an employee refuses to displace
(bump) @ junior incumbent, he must
be laid off and have his name placed
on a preferred list,

where the position in the ttle formerly
held, by the person being suspended or
displaced, is (1) occupied; (2) in the
competitive class; (3) in the same lay-
off unit; (4) at a lower salary grade.
Also, the service of the displacing in-
cumbent while holding the title to
which he now desires to retreat must
have been satisfactory. Another con-
dition which must be met is the fact
that the employee wishing to “retreat”
to a ttle he formerly held must have
more seniority than the employee pres-
ently occupying that title.

It is important to realize that the
service of the displacing incumbent in
the title to which he is retreating need
not have been in the same layoff unit
as the one from which he is displaced.
In other words, a Principal File Clerk
in Agency “B,” who served as a Senior
Mail and Supply Clerk in Agency “A,”
but never in Agency “B,” may be af~
forded the opportunity to “retreat” to
an occupied Senior Mail and Supply
Clerk position in Agency “B,” regard-
less of the fact that he never served
as such in that layoff unit.

It ts possible for an employee to dis-
place by retreat to a position in a title
in which he last served on a perman-
ent basis although he had intervening
service in other titles as long as his
service in each of the intervening titles
was on other than a permanent basis.

RETENTION RIGHTS (SENIORITY)
Retention rights (seniority) is meas-
ured from the date of original permanent
appointment in the classified service of
the State of New York. However, one
important exception is the provision that
for disabled veterans the date of original
permanent appointment 1s considered to
be 60 months (five years) earlier than
the actual date; while non-disabled vet-
erans are considered again for this pur-
pose, to have been appointed 30 months
(2% years) earlier than their actual
date of appointment, Blind employees re-
tain the absolute preference in retention.
All temporary, provisional, and con-
tingent permanent employees, holding
positions in the same layoff unit and in
the same titles as abolished positions,
must be let go before any permanent em-
ployee is suspended from such positions.
* For non-competitive class State em-
ployees with 5 years of continuous
Permanent non-competitive class ser-
vice up to the time of layoff, the law
provides that a permanent incumbent,
who is suspended or from his
non-competitive position, may “retreat”
by displacing that incumbent with the
least retention right who is serving in

‘@ position in the title in which the dis-
placing incumbent last served on a
permanent basis prior to service in the
title from which he is currently sus-
pended or displaced. Since there is no
“line of promotion” in the non-com-
petitive class, retreat is the only means
by which a non-competitive employee
may displace a junior incumbent hav-
ing lees retention right. Again, retreat
may occur only where the position in
the title held by the displaying in-
cumbent ts occupied, in the non-com-
petitive class, in the same layoff unit,
and at a lower salary grade; the ser-
vice of the displacing incumbent while
in the former title must have been
satisfactory, and the junior incumbent
must have less retention standing
than the displacing incumbent,

PST Runoff Election

6647 OU only live so long, and work so long, so make your

choice and God bless you,” Civil Service Employees
Assn. president Theodore C. Wenz! recently told a gathering
of the union's chapter presidents, who had come together to
discuss the upcoming election for representation rights for

the state's Professional-Scientific-Technical Bargaining
Unit.

CSEA has held bargaining rights for the 40,000 em-
ployees of the PST Unit since the Taylor Law legalized con-
tract negotiations for public employees in the state.

Last month, a plurality of voters reaffirmed the choice
of CSEA as bargaining agent. An unusually large number
of “other” votes prevented CSEA from achieving the absolute
majority needed, however, and so a runoff election is re-
quired. For the runoff, ballots will be mailed Jan. 12, and
results should be known Feb. 2,

This time, only the names of CSEA and the Public Em-
ployees Federation will be on the ballot, so a definite winner
can be determined, (PEF is a collaboration of the New York
State United Teachers, Service Employees International
Union, New York State Building Trades Council, Inter-
national Laborers Union and Teamsgers Local 237.)

Dr. Wenzl noted to the union's chapter presidents that
CSEA 1s an imperfect democracy as opposed to a perfect
autocracy; that in CSEA's 65 years of existence, this policy
has resulted in the union's growth to become the third
jargest independent union in the nation and the largest
public employees union in the world.

*“We are a people’s union, and we hope that professional,
scientific and technical employees will choose to stay with
us. Our strength is in unity,” Dr. Wenzl said.

It is our opinion, now that the chips are down, that PST
employees will remember the benefits that they have gained
through the years of CSEA representation, and will vote
to reaffirm their choice of CSEA.

Once that is done, contract negotiations (which will

have been delayed three months because of the challenge)
can begin in earnest.

The “Sign-In
HE traditional view of the typical welfare applicant is
one of a won't work, improvident, rip-off-the-taxpayer
deadbeat.

But what happens to this image when the welfare ap-
plicant holds a job, has some years’ tenure in it, and is a
taxpayer? A number of Cortland. County employees staged
a “sign-in” recently, lining up in icy weather at the county's
Social Services offices to apply for welfare payments and
food stamps.

These people aren't deadbeats. They work and their
labor makes the county run, With what they are paid, how-
ever, they cannot make ends meet—thus the “sign-in.” In
addition, in Cortland County, negotiations for a new con-
tract for the employees have been going on unsuccessfully
for the past 16 months.

We suspect that this situation is not at all unique with
Cortland County, We suspect that around the state there
are a good number of public sector employees who could
qualify, given their salaries, for welfare payments and food
stamps.

Gus thing we do. nat sumpent but know for 0 tact: This
situation is a dreadful one.

nual State of the State Message
to open the legislative session.
‘However, the critical moment
will dawn on Jan. 20, when the

ernor's Message on the Budget,
since in large measure {t will un-
doubtedly recommend tax hikes
that had been rejected by the
December Special Session cou-
pled with proposed cuts in var-
fous state operations and in pro-,
grams of state aid to localities,”
including schoo! districts.

Based on events that took
place at the Special Session, po-
Utieal leaders expect the session
to be a long and bitter one. Ma-
jority Leader Warren M. Ander-
son and Governor Carey reached
& realistic accommodation in De-
cember, The tale in March, how-
ever, is likely to be stormy, since
the Legislature will be grappling
with recommendations that it
had previously rejected in De-
cember.

Members of the Legislature, all
of whom are faced with election
problems in November, are likely
to be more concerned than ever
about putting their political
careers on the chopping block,
by voting for consumer tax in-
creases, such as increases in the
@asoline tax, extension of the
sales tax to a wide variety of
services, and possibly un increase
in the individual Income tax.

State Workers’ Salaries

The Legislature will also have
to come to grips with salary
problems of the civil service em-
Ployees, The contract with the
Civil Service Employees Assn.
terminates, and the Legislature
will be faced with the problem
of adjusting the salaries of the
career employees in view of the
continued erosion of salary
standards through rising living
costs.

The experience in New York
City and in Yonkers, both of
which had moved so close to the
brink of default that an emer-
gency fiseal control board had to
be created for each of those inu-
nicipalities, indicates that the
outlook for civil service em-
ployees in the year ahead will be
grim. In both of those cities the

Probationary Terms

The Court of Appeals, in Matter of Palmer v. Merges,
37 N. Y. 2d 177 (1975), held that an employee's probationary
period is not extended by a transfer in work shifts, where
the employee did not receive notice that, upon transfer, she
was entering a “second probationary period in a different
assignment,” and the employee also was not given any indi-
cation of unsatisfactory performance. The employee in this
case was a Mental Hygiene assistant therapist aide at the
Wassaic State School. Her probationary period originally
began on Sept. 28, 1972, when she was assigned to the day
shift at the school infirmary. On Nov. 12, 1972, she was
transferred to the evening shift at the same infirmary. At
that time, she was notified that her probationary period
would be ending March 29, 1973, During the last week of
Merch, however, this employee was notified, orally and by
letter, that her probationary period was being extended
another eight weeks to May 24, 1973. On that date, she was
dismissed without hearing, as a probationary employee.

* 8 8

IN ITS DECISION, the court quoted from the applicable
rule and regulation of the Civil Service Department, 4
NYCRR 4.5(a) (3), as follows: “An appointment shall be-
come permanent upon the completion of the minimum pe-
riod of probation unless the probationer, prior to the com~-
pletion of such service, is given written notice that the
probationary term will be continued. If the probationary
term is so continued, the appointment shall become perma-
nent upon the retention of the probationer after his com-
pletion of the maximum period of service or upon earlier
notice that his probationary term is successfully completed.
If the conduct or performance of the probationer is not
satisfactory, his employment may be terminated at any time
after the completion of the minimum period of service and
on or before the completion of’ the maximum period of
service. The appointing officer mgy, however, in his dis-
cretion, offer such probationer an opportunity to serve a
second probationary term of not less than four nor more
than twelve weeks in a different assignment, in which case
the appointment may be made permanent or the employ-
ment terminated at any time after the completion of the
minimum period of service and on or before the completion
of the maximum period of service in the same manner as
herein provided for the original probationary appointment.”

. .

THE WASSAIC STATE School contended that the eight-
week extension in the employee's probationary period after
her transfer to the day shift represented “a second proba-
tionary term ... in a different assignment,” and the school
acted within its discretion in dismissing the employee at
the end of this second probationary period. While the court
agreed that a transfer from one work shift to another could
indeed constitute a “different assignment,” and create a
second probationary period during which the appointing
officer could discharge the employee at his discretion, it
found this argument without merit in this case. In this case,
the employee involved was never notified that she was en-

RETIREMENT
NEWS & FACTS

By A. L. PETERS

Allowable Earnings Limit Increases

Beginning January 1, a retiree can earn up to $2,760 a
year without any loss in social security receipts.

In 1975 the figure was $2,520. If you earn more than
$2,760, you lose one dollar for every two dollars you earn

above that amount. Of course,
whatever you do earn !s subject
to regular income taxes and,
therefore, payroll deductions.

How does this affect you in
dollars and cents? If you earn
$5,000 and your social security
pension before any cut is $4,200,
you will receive only $3,080 in
social security for that year.

There is one out, however, A
social security check 's paid in
any month in which you earned
from wages or salary $230 or less.
So, if you could earn all your
money in one or two months, the
rest of the social security pay-
ments would not be affected. Of
course, any income you get from
pensions or interest or any
source outside of a job does not
cut your social security, And if
you are over 72, there is no cut
at all for outside earnings.

Note, too, that the rules differ
for self-employed.

Urge CSEA Vote

Editor, The Leader:

We, the officers of South
Beach chapter, Civil Service Em-
ployees Assn. recognize that
there are many problems with
CSEA and therefore, when the

examined the issues involved.
‘The following summarizes some
of our findings and shows why
we strongly feel that a victory
for PEF would be damaging to

1, The single most important
effect of a PEF victory would be
to divide state workers, The divi-
sion would not only take place
along salary grades, with higher
salaried professionals in one un-
fon while lower grade employees
are in another, but also along
rectal lines since the PS&T Unit
is predominantly white while the
other units have a more inte-
grated balance. Politically such a
division would weaken ail state
employees because our strength
im bargaining comes from our
‘unity. Smaller units cannot bar-
@aln as effectively us & larger
body.

(To Be Continwed)

A curious question arises re-
garding teachers retiring during
1976. Ordinarily, pensions are
based on the last 12 months of
salary paid, but the law speci-
fies salaries payable. Inasmuch
as longevity increases and cost-
of-living increases have been
frozen out for the year, in spite
of the UFT contract, would pen-
sions be based on the salaries
paid or the salaries that should
have been paid under the con-
tract? Inasmuch as the contract
has not been approved by the
Emergency Control Board, an
intricate legal question is pre-
sented.

TO THE

2. PEF criticizes coalition bar-
gaining, but no one can deny
that there are a number of con-
tract issues that are common to
all state employees. Also PS&T
has a separate Dargaining team
and a separate contract, con-
taining provisions specific to the
needs of professionals, This ts
being continued and we must
demand of CSEA that more pro-
visions of this nature are in-
cluded.

3, The major unions behind
PEP are the N. Y. State United
‘Teachers, Albert Shanker's un-
jon, and the Service Employees
International Union. Both of
these unions have an unimpres-
sive record in representing their
members. Recently New York
City teachers have suffered mas-

been @ main obstacle for pro-
Gressive change, opting rather to
maintain the status quo. In Chi-
cago, SETU has been an energetic
backer of Mayor Daley and his
Political machinery. Both unions
derive their strength from the
backing of the more conservative
employees in their professions.

‘These are among the reasons
that, although dissatisfied with

QUESTION

What's Your Opinion

Are you optimistic or pessimistic about the employment picture?

THE PLACE
Lower Manhattan

Diana Gordon, lawyer: “I'm quite pessimistic par-
ticularly as far as the lower
income worker is concerned. I
think that as businesses con-
tract to meet the current eco-
nomic crisis, lower level work-
ers will suffer. They have al-
ready suffered in 1975, and I
think it will probably get worse
at least for workers at the bot-
tom levels and for city work-
ers at the operating levels in
our economy.”

John Willis, management officer:

“I'm optimistic,
because I think more employ-

| ment will come into the city—

the city has to take care of
its people. I think there will
be an upswing in the hiring
market, because right now the
unemployment is so high, we
must get more workers on the
job to be able to take care
of what we've got here, Maybe
we can get more funds from
Washington—it's election time

and they have to try to get their votes. So I
guess that’s a possibility.”

Phillip G. Kiein, lawyer: “From what I hear and
read, there seems to be a lot of
pessimism—that is, that more
employees will be fired or put
out of employment. I fee] how-
ever, that the future will bring
rehiring for most of these peo-
ple. The city needs its em-
ployees. The thing for the city
to do is to weed out those peo-
ple who have been particularly
unnecessary or constitute a sur-
plus. But I still have confid-
ence in the future of the city. The city may find
additional funds through the levying of new
taxes—we don’t like that, but I fully believe the
city will survive.”

Alphonse Cangiarella, auditor, New York State
“Right now I'm optimistic about
the employment picture because
I think the best outlook to have,
hopefully, is that things will
get better and that people will
be able to get jobs and that
more people will be employed.
I hope our economy will be
on the upswing. The only prob-
lem is, I don’t see much hope
for city workers. But in the
private sector, it appears that
the economics are picking up, and that there
will be more opportunities and more employment.”
York City.

Frank Ryan, police officer:

Jack Tagliani, account manager, City Hall:

“1'm really pessimistic
~jobs will probably be more
scarce, and there will probably
be more cuts necessary, because
of the crisis that the city ts
in. I think Mayor Beame has
indicated that the help the city
got from Washington will not
solve all of our problems, and
that other actions will be neces-
sary. Prom the indications from
New York City Hall, I think
that times will be getting hard-

er rather than better. I think this has a lot to
do with the nation—it seems that a lot of other
states are cutting back on their employees in
public and private business,

“T'm
optimistic about the employ-
ment picture for 1976, simply
because we have bottomed out
in the economy and we can
only go up. The money will
have to come from the restrue-
turing of our fiscal policies in
New York City, plus a hard look
toward business to help out and
expand their employment bases.
I'm also optimistic about the
broadening*of our tax base for

the city. This can be done by encouraging busi-
ness to stay here rather than moving out of New

EDITOR [Civil Service Law & You |

move to PEF would be & grave

Certify Nurses

ALBANY — The State Depart-
ment of Education reported last
week that 363 persons have suc-
cessfully completed the require-
ments for licensing as registered
professional nurses and 14 per-
sons completed requirements for
loensing as practical nurses be-
tween July and September 1975,

tering upon a “second probation-
ary period in a different assigh-
ment” and was never given any
indication of unsatisfactory per-
formance. She was notified only
of an extension in her proba-
tionary period. Further, there
was no indication that any no-
tation or memo was made in the
internal records of the agency
showing that a new probationary
term based on a different assign-
ment was made.

IN SUCH circumstances, the
court decided that the transfer
in work shifts did not extend
this employee's probationary pe-
riod, The court stated that a
ruling otherwise could establish
this technique as a ruthless de-
vice to retain temporarily the
services of probationary employ-
ees while denying them tenure
“The insecurities of probationary
status will often induce employ-
ees, particularly in troubled
times, to submit to unreasonable
extensions by administrators.”
(37 N. ¥. 2d at 181). As a guide
to appointing officers, the court
noted that notice to an employee

was sufficient if it spelled out
the regulation invoked. On the
facts in this case, however, the
court concluded that the em-
ployee here was improperly dis-
missed from her position.

Don't Repeat ‘This!

The issue of protecting the

tion of civil service employees
will in some respects dominate
the thinking of the State Legis-

CIVIL SERVICE LEADE

Staff members concentrate as they learn of latest techniques to serve union members.

PROFESSIONAL STAFF

ALBANY — Staff members from
throughout the state met at the Ci
Service Employees Assn. headquarter
here to discuss ways by which they
could better their service to employees
of the Professional-Scientific-Techni-
cal Bargaining Unit

The CSEA professionals—including
field representatives, collective bar-
gaining specialists, public relations
experts and research analysts, spent
the day going over problems faced by
PST employees.

The meeting was held preparatory
to the runoff election for bargaining
rights for the approximately 40,0%
employees in the statewide unit, one
of four units currently represented by
CSEA.

Ballots are to be mailed to PST em-
ployees on Jan, 12, with results to be
known on Feb. 2.

CHAPTER PRESIDENTS

ALBANY — A few days after the

eeting of CSEA's professional! staff,
it was state chapter presidents and
State Executive Committee members
who were called together to express
their views on the PST challenge elec-
tion.

Attorney James Roemer outlined
three important reasons for PST em-
ployees to reject the Public Employees
Federation as a bargaining agent

© Another union would have to
start negotiations from scratch

© An experiment with another un-
ton could result in agreements that
could not be rectified (for example,

@he Teachers gave away their pension
funds)

© Despite talk about title bargain-
ing, the Public Employment Relations
Board had ruled years ago that the
state would be divided into only five
bargaining units.

“The choice is yours and God bless you,” CSEA president Theodore
C. Wenz! says, pointing out that “CSEA is an imperfect democracy,

as opposed to a perfect autocracy.”

Peter Hickerson, acting president of Long Island Inter-County State

@ Park chapter 102, exhorts other leaders to “reach our grassroots
members,” as he takes part in the discussion on ways to improve
participation of PST employees in union affairs.

Chapter leaders from throughout the state gather to plan action for PST negotiations.

Robert Lattimer, CS viee-
president who heads the PST ne-
gotiating team, said that the
team is ready to begin contract
talks as soon as the challenge
election has been decided in
CSEA’s favor. Mr. Lattimer ts also

town Psychiatric Center chapter 415 president, and Michael Hitchen,
Great Meadow Correctional Facility chapter 157 president. Mr.
Hitchen is a member of the PST Bargaining Unit.

where our weak spots are, so we can work to correct them.”

Creedmoor Staffers
Lose On-Grounds Homes

QUEENS VILLAGE — Approximately 100 low-salaried
employees of Creedmoor Psychiatric Center have been or-
dered to vacate their on-grounds apartments within a year.

The order, thought to be a result of the hospital's loss

of accreditation last October by
the Joint Commission on Ac-
creditation of Hospitals, affects
porters, food service aides and
other supportive personnel. Terry
Dawson, president of the 3,000-
member Creedmoor PC chapter,
Civil Service Employees Assn.,
said the proposed eviction of the
workers from their low-rent
homes is a grievance that will
top her agenda at the next hos-
pital-union labor relations meet-
ing

Ms. Dawson declared that most
of the workers affected earn be-
tween $6,000 and $8,000 annu-
ally, The two-room apartments
on the grounds of the Long Is-
land facility rent for $53 a month
and this relatively low rental cost
helps make up for the workers’
low wages. She estimated that
similar accomodations near the
facility would cost in the neigh-
borhood of $200.

Doctors attached to the Creed-
moor staff also pay $53 for ac-
commodations on the grounds of
the hosptial,

“If the workers have to go,
why not the doctors, too?” Ms.
Dawson asked.

Tt is thought that one of the
reasons the Chicago-based JCAH
pulled its accreditation of Creed-
moor is the fact that patients
lacked privacy, especially in
washroom areas.

“We heard that the hospital
wants the patients to have apart-
ments because of the private
bathroom facilities," Ms. Daw-

son said. The loss of accredita-
tion could result in the loss to
Creedmoor of several million dol-
lars in grants from Medicaid and
Medicare.

Wenz! To Visit
WTC On Jan. 9

MANHATTAN — Theodore
C. Wenzl, president of the
Civil Service Employees
Assn., will visit New York
City Friday, Jan. 9, to meet in-
formally with members of the
union

“This will be an excellent op-
portunity for CSEA members to
discuss problems and offer sug-
gestions to their union leader,”
commented Solomon Bendet, a
CSEA vice-president and presi-
dent of the union's New York
City Region ITI. “It's a good ex-
ample of the democrstic struc-
ture of CSEA. In view of the
coming representation challenge
election in the Professional, Sci-
entific and Technical Negotiating
Unit, too, I would urge members
of the unit with questions or
problems to take this time to
share them with Dr. Wenz," Mr.
Bendet added.

Dr. Wenzl will meet with
CSEAers from 11 am. to 2:30
p.m. in Room 4430, 2 World
Trade Center, Manhattan,

Suffolk’s Klein
Going To Court
On Increments

HAUPPAUGE — The Suf-
folk County chapter, Civil
Service Employees Assn., last
week secured a court order
directing County Executive John
V. N. Klein to explain why he
should not be ordered to pay
regular increments due to em-
ployees Jan. 1

Mr. Klein had announced that

he was withholding the incre-
ments because negotiations have
not been completed for a new
contract. He told the press that

JAMES CORBIN
when a settlement is reached, the
increments may not be made
retroactive.

Suffolk chapter president
James Corbin ordered legal ac-
tion, asserting that “I am tired
of having employees held as hos-
tages when the county refuses to
bargain in good faith.”

The union has cited various
decisions of the Public Em-
ployment Relations Board and
courts that employer is bound to
pay increments despite the fact
that terms of a new contract
have not been completed

Alien Reporting
Time Is At Hand

MANHATTAN—Maurice F.
Kiley, district director of the
New York District of the U.S.
Immigration and Naturaliza-
tion Service, stated that the pe-
riod within which aliens must
report their addresses is at hand.

The month of January has
been set for the address reporting
period. All aliens in the United
States, with few exceptions, must
report their addresses to the gov-
ernment during that period.

Mr. Kiley said that forms with
which to make the report will be
available to all post offices and
offices of the Immigration and
Naturalization Service during the
month. The alien should complete

-County Chapter Will

Circulate Petition Urging
Cost-Reduction Measures

MIDDLETOWN—The Orange, Ulster and Sullivan Coun-
ties Retiree chapter, Civil Service Employees Assn., is circu-
lating petitions calling for four cost-cutting measures by

county legislators.

‘The petitions, which bear the
slogan “1776—Tax On Tea; 1976
—Tax On Poor And Elderly” on
thetr tops, call for:

© “Selling the Orange County
Airport which has cost taxpayers
millions of dollars for the use
and benefit of only a few citi-

© “Reduction of legislators’
salaries from $7,000 to $5,000,
cutting out the 15-cent-per-mile
allowance to get to Goshen and
limiting this mileage allowance
only to the chairman or commit-
teemen on extra duty.”

® “A 10 percent salary cut for
all employees making over $20,-
000 a year, including judges, dis-
trict attorneys and any others
involved in spending money on
Jaw suits which keep work out.”

"No new agencies be formed
as there is too much administra-
tion now existing.”

Chapter president John Van-
Duzer, commenting on the peti-
tion, said, “We're going out and
try to wake up some people. We
can work on the county level and
get results, and we're getting
strong enough now that we can

shake up the legislature and the
executive.

“I believe that every retiree
group can do the same. In past
months, we helped stop the Gen-
eral Telephone Co, from pushing
through a rate increase and
helped reduce the budgets of Ul-
ster, Orange and Sullivan Coun-
ties. I think it's time retirees, as
taxpayers, began to talk and

Social Security Requirements Outlined

WASHINGTON, D. C. —
Most men and women who
will be 62 years of age in
1976 can collect monthly so-
cial security checks if they have
worked as ttle as six-and-one-
quarter years in jobs covered by
social security, officials said.

People earn retirement bene-
fits by credit for work covered
by social security done in or
after 1937, the year the program
began. The work is measured for
credit in calendar quarters:
January - Mareh, April - June,
July-September or October-De-
cember.

“Most employees get credit for
® quarter of work if they're paid
$50 or more in that quarter for
work covered by social security,”
an agency spokesman said. “Most
self-employed people get social
security credit for four quarters
im any year their annual self-
employment net income is $400
or more.”

Most jobs and self-employ-
ment are covered by social se-
curity.

“To be eligible for social se-
curity retirement benefits,” the
spokesman said, “ a person must
have, at minimum, quarters of
work equal to the number of
years between 1950 and the time
& person reaches age 62. Thus,
if a person reaches 62 in 1976,
they will need at least 25 quar-
ters — six-and-one-quarter years
—of work credit.”

Eligible workers can begin col-
lecting their full social security
retirement benefits at age 65 or
reduced benefits at age 62. De-
pendents can also obtain pay-
ments based on the worker's
earning record.

“Quarters of work credit help
determine eligibility for social se-
curity retirement benefits,” the

CIENTIFIC &
ECHNICAL
EMPLOYEES

OF NEW YORK STATE
TO VOTE CSEA IN THIS ELECTION

@in 1910, when employees of the State of New York wanted to be
represented, they created their own organization — CSEA. It's
been doing the job the members wanted ever since. That's a solid
65 years history of representation.

@CSEA has negotiated salary increases of up to 115% for N.Y. State
workers since 1967. That makes employees of this state number
two in the country in wages and benefits.

@The P.S. & T. negotiating team has drawn your demands and is read’
to go. The team is made up of your fellow members, with CSE
staff professionals there to assist. The opposition hasn't yet
developed a list of demands.

@The coming negotiations will be the toughest ever. If P.S. & T.
switches unions now, all four bargaining units will suffer a loss of
“clout” — especially P.S. & T. You can't afford anything less than
a solid front.

@CSEA went to court to stop the state from raiding your pension
fund. The opposition was silent.

@CSEA went to court to stop illegal “lulus” for legislators. And won.
Once again, the opposition was silent.

@A total of $45.50 a year, and one quarter of that goes back to your
local chapter. The opposition has no announced dues structure,
but the present range within the coalition is from $100 to more
than $200 a year — before special assessments.

@CSEA is a visible entity, with nearly 200 full time professional
staff members all over the State, a large modern headquarters
in Albany, and full time regional offices in its six geographic
rbiarm The opposition has no permanently assigned staff or
facilities.

@CSEA operates under legally binding constitutions with demo-
cratically elected officers at state, regional and local chapter
levels. The opposition has no constitution, no elected officers —
apparently, nothing at all. In fact, a lot of folks feel that “PEF” has
to mean Phantom Employees Federation.

COMMENT: as tar as we can determine, the opposition in this election
is a sort of mish-mash of teachers, construction and trans-
portation oriented groups who seem to have little tionship
to public employees. It looks simply like anothe: lempted

raid” to swell the coffers of the various unions involved.
