Unprecedented Four-Year Contract In Suffolk

Kheel Fact-Finder
In Contract Heat

Wenzl Demands Carey Fire Wollet

ALBANY—Theodore W. Kheel, nationally prominent labor mediator, has been named
by the State Public Employment Relations Board (PERB), as chairman of the fact-finding
panel assigned to the contract dispute between the Civil Service Employees Assn. and the

Still Need
Ratification
By Members

HAUPPAUGE — The Suf-
folk chapter of the Civil Ser-
vice Employees Assn. is pre-
paring for a ratification vote
on a tentative contract settle-
ment for an unprecedented four-
year term.

The plan preserves increments
for all current employees and
creates a new top step with a
$1,250 increment. It provides a
two-step advance in 1977, with
increases of top pay of 4 percent,
5 percent and cost of living in
the following three years. Im-
provements in longevity pay and
a package of other benefits are
also included.

‘The new terms were announ-
ced last week by Suffolk chapter

County Executive John V. N.
Klein following a whirlwind,

Charges

NEWARK-—Citing publish-
ed statements of various sup-
ervisors of Wayne County,
officers of two units of the
Civil Service Employees Assn.,
representing county workers,
have filed improper practice
charges with the Public Employ-
ment Relations Board.

Other panel members are John

cuse University College of Law.

Negotiations between the CSEA
and the State skidded to a halt
last week when the State pre-
sented a “final offer” that did
not come close enough to the
union's demands.

Within hours after mediation
was broken off, frustration over
the long weeks of bargaining
with little progress became evi-
dent as CSEA president Theo-
dore C. Wenzl took issue with
the Taylor Law for contributing
to the breakdown, and called
Gov. Hugh L. Carey “a walking
contradiction” for sending one
of his top budget men to the
table to complain about a bil-
Non-dollar deficit just two days
before the Governor announced
plans for a $200 million tax cut,
a move which, CSEA said, caught
even the Governor's negotiators
by surprise.

Mr. Wenzl noted that, at the
final day of mediation, CSEA
lowered its salary demand from
18 percent or a minimum of $1,-
800 to 12 percent or a $1,200
minimum. He explained that the
union, trying to be responsive to
meaningful talks at the table,
had thus cut its original de-
mands by nearly one-half, The
State's “final offer” was a $350

dent Edward Williams said
that county officials have made
“an organized attempt to under-
mine intent and purpose of ne-
gotiations” by publicly stating
county employees would get “no
raises in 1977."

Specifically, Huron Supervisor
Russell Preer, who is chairman
of the county board salary com-
mittee, ts charged with having
announced on June 8, 1976, at
@ North Rose-Woleott School
meeting which he moderated,
that the board had no intention
of granting the workers pay

salary increase effective April 1,
1977, and a 5 percent salary
hike on Jan. 1, 1978, both
across-the-board Increases going
into the salary structure.

‘The CSEA forced the state's
director of the Office of Em-
ployee Relations, Donald Wollet,
to admit that the raise was ac-
tually 4.75 percent for the com-
ing fiscal year, and would not
become a full 6 percent until the
start of the following fiscal year.

Mr. Wollett, apparently lick-
ing his chops for the kill, lashed
out with criticism about CSER
in general, and its leadership.
President Wenz] immediately
labeled the attack “uncivilized,
unprofessional, cheap and in bad
taste.”

Dr. Wenazl telegrammed Gov-
ernor Carey, demanding “the
“{mmediate firing” of Wollett
“as being grossly incompetent
and totally useless to serve in
that critical and sensitive post,
His unprovoked and uncivilized
attack ... upon both CSEA and
myself as its leader has de-
stroyed any hope of a meaning-
ful relationship between labor
and management so long as this
individual serves as OER head.”

The full 120-member CSEA
Board of Directors unanimously
passed a resolution supporting
Dr. Wenzl's telegram, and sent
@ second telegram, announcing
that support to Governor Carey.

No Heat, No Parking, No Water
AtNewStateEmployment Office

BAY SHORE—Despite explicit warnings by the Civil Service Employees Assn., the
State Department of Labor last week transferred a Division of Employment office into a
building that CSEA officials claim is broken down and does not have the facilities to handle

employees and clients.

The Department of Labor
moved into its present location
at 24 East Main St., Bay Shore,
on Dec. 30 from the former offi-
ces on Union Boulevard where
the department was on a month-
to-month rental basis, since the
Suffolk County Land Manage-
ment Commission condemned
that site on Aug. 26, 1975.

“They knew they had to move
for more than a year and had
plenty of time to select an ade-
quate site,” said Nick Pollicino,
Long Island regional fieldman.
“We told them that this building
was inadequate back in October
but they didn't listen and signed
the lease anyway,” he added.

Employees were greeted with
conditions that were worse than
they were used to at the Union
Boulevard location. There was
no heat for the first four days.
After persistent badgering and
numerous phone calls to state

officials, the, CSEA finally had
heat restored. Electrical floor
heaters had to be purchased and
installed by the landlord, how-
ever, because the heating was
still inadequate. It took four
days to have water turned on in
the women’s lavatory.

Parking at the new site is non-
existent for the 120 employees
and the 12,000 clients who visit
the Bay Shore office each week.
‘The small parking lot behind the
building has a two-hour parking
limit that is strictly enforced by
towing. When the lot is torn up
next month, as part of the south-
west sewer construction, the
parking situation will be even
worse, Mr. Pollicino noted.

The staff .has only one tiny,
unventilated room to crowd into,
sometimes up to 60 people sitting
for lunch and breaks.

Women employees are wary of
using their lavatory, located in a
dark stairwell.

Compensatory Time Off
For Lincoln's Birthday

ALBANY—State employees will be given a day off for
Washington's Birthday and compensatory time off for Lin-
coln’s, which falls on a Saturday this year.

An exception will be made for employees who normally

work Saturdays. They may be
eligible for holiday pay.

Washington's Birthday falls
on Feb. 22 and is celebrated on
the third Monday of the month
by the state. Lincoln's Birthday
falls on Feb. 12.

According to union contract,
state employees are entitled to

11 holidays per year, Because
state offices will not be closed
any days in observance of Lin-
coln'’s Birthday, compensatory
time is being offered, Jack Ross,
of the Department of Civil Serv-
ice, explained.

Employee and client dissatis-
faction with the building and
its facilities has created security
problems, as angry and frustrated
people take out their feelings on
each other,

Grievances were filed by Mr.
Pollicino on Jan. 6 to correct the
situation. “We're going to stay
with this until the situation has
been rectified. It is disgraceful
that the state could expect em-
ployees to work in conditions
that exist in this building. Either
they are corrected or we want
the state to move us to a new
location,” Mr. Pollicino said.

$500 Across-The-Board Won
At Ulster County Community

ALBANY—A PERB fact-finder has recommended a two-year contract for faculty of
the Ulster County Community College with a $500 across-the-board salary increase effec-

tive Jan. 1, 1977.

James A. Cashen, of Clavarack, is the fact-finder named by the State Public Em-

ployment Rejations Board in a
contract dispute between the
College and the Ulster County
Community College Paculty Assn.

Mr, Cashen recommended a
contract covering Sept. 1, 1976,
through August 31, 1978. He said
the $500 increase should be pro-
rated for the remainder of the
contract year based on a 10-
month salary payment schedule.

He further called for a 2 per-
cent wage increase effective Sept.
1, 1977, and a 3 percent increase
on January 1, 1978. He recog-
nized that, prorated over the re-
mainder of the current school

Justice's ID Employees
Get Civil Service Exams

ALBANY—This spring, for the first time in four years,
Civil Service examinations will be held for jobs in the iden-
tification section of the Division of Criminal Justice Services.

The exams have been set for April 16, as the result of

@ recent legal victory by the
Civil Service Employees Assn.

In agreeing with the union's
contention that failure to hold
the examinations constituted a
violation of Section 65 of the
State Civil Service Law, State
Supreme Court Justice Roger J.
Miner ordered the Civil Service
Department and the Division of
Criminal Justice Services to
hold competitive exams for other
positions within the Division also,
where similar violations exist.

An eligibility list for perman-
ent positions will be compiled
after the examinations are held.

“We found that many com-
petitive-class employees in the
Division have held provisional
appointments to jobs longer than
the nine-month limit specified
by the law,” said CSEA attorney
Michael J. Smith. “The effect of
this was to deny promotional op-
portunities to other employees, as
well 4s to deny the provisionals
the rights which accompany «
permanent position.”

Rita Johnson of Albany, Divix
sion of Criminal Justice chapter
president CSEA, brought the suit
with the help of CSEA collective
bargaining specialist John
Naughter.

“T think this decision will have
& great effect upon our mem-
bership throughout the Division,”

Ms, Johnson said. “CSEA had
made numerous requests over the
past few years, that the exam-
inations be held. Civil Service
and Division both claimed var-
lous administrative problems as
the reason for the delay. As a
result, we lost many good people.”
She added that employees who
have been ‘held back for years”
because of the lack of examina-
tions will now have the chance
to advance that the law was
meant to guarantee.

Job titles in the Identification
series include: Identification
Clerk (Grade 4), Senior Identiti-
cation Analyst (Grade 18) and
Associate Identification Analyst
(Grade 21). These employees are
involved in the search, identifi-
cation, classification and com-
puterization of fingerprints.

Jewish Assn. Meets

its regular meeting at 2 World

ness.

year, the increase results in an
actual pay raise for 1976-77 of
little more than $250.

However, he said, such an ann-
ualized increase will provide for
a higher base salary for use in
computing the 1977-78 salary in-
crease. “While such a proposed
increase will not keep the em-

ployees in pace with cost-of-liv-
ing increases or with settlements
in surrounding community col-
leges, it does represent an In-
creased cost to the county at a
point in time when expenditure
increases must be kept at a mini-
mum.”

Plan Brotherhood Awards

MANHATTAN.-Brotherhood awards will be presented
to Louis Valentino, commissioner for labor affairs, and Solo-
mon Friedman, senior labor standards investigator, on Feb.
10, at a Roosevelt Hotel luncheon,

The New York State Employ-

The luncheon will be preceded
by a panel discussion on, “Broth-
erhood: Where Do We Go Prom

State Insurance Fund, will chair
the discussion.

Panel members will include
Bayard Rustin, well-known civil

rights leader; Dominic R. Mas-
saro, regional director of AC-
TION, and Emanuel Muravehik,

MASSENA — A two-year

reached by the 124-member

The pact remains unsigned,
however, pending solution to the
issue of an additional half-day

day because they work a full

tion of cafeteria workers, would

during the first year of the con-
tract and a cost-of-living adjust-
ment in the second year of be-

Cafeteria workers would re-

Union officials explained that
the lesser amount for cafeteria
workers is because the cafeteria
is self-supporting

Legislators Asked To Listen

ROCHESTER—The president of the Rochester chapter of the Civil Service Employees
Assn. asked Republican state legislators from western New York to do better by state

workers than they did in 1975.

Samuel Grossfield, chapter president, accompanied by Lloyd Tipton, president of the

Brockport SUNY chapter, made
his appeal Dec. 29 at the first
all-day “Listen-in” at the Down-
town Holiday Inn.

Monroe County Republican
Chairman Donald Starkweather
invited taxpayers and represen-
tatives of organizations to tell
legislators from counties between
Syracuse and Buffalo what they
expect from legislators in the
next session.

“Public employees are being
crucified on a cross of taxes,”
Mr. Grossfield said. “We pay all

the taxes everyone else pays and
help to pay for our own benefits.
But being on a fixed income
we're the victims of ever-increas-
ing prices, a cruel inflation. Yet
we're the convenient scapegoats
for the politician and the Gov-
ernor.

Mr. Grossfield said state em-
ployees also are “the victims of
double-talk and double-dealing.”

During the past two years, he
said, the buying power of the
average state worker has been

reduced by 18 percent because of
the spiraling cost of living.

Mr, Grossfield told the law-
makers that Governor Carey's
own actions “brought into being
the 1970 PERB-appointed fact-
finders’ report. They recommen-
ded a modest 6 percent salary
increase. Yet this nominal and
minimal sum was rejected by the
Governor.”

Mr. Grossfield recalled that
last March the Governor “made
a flat statement that the budget
precluded any salary increase.
But only 25 percent of our
(CSEA) members accepted the
contract agreed upon by the
CSEA and Carey.”

He called it a “disappointing
agreement” because it provided
no salary increase between April
1, 1976, and April 1, 1977, and
“only a vague promise of a sal-
ary increase in 1977-78.

“That agreement contained no
protection against layoffs, no im-
provements jn Blue Shield pay-
ments for surgical bills and no
agency shop.”

Mr. Grossfield asked legisla-
tors to recognize that the “char-
ade of 1975 is being played over
again, We hope this legisiature
will take a different position on
the fact-finders’ recommenda-
ons than the one they took in
1976,"

CSEA attorney James Feather-
stonhaugh told the legislators
that present DMH plans for
phasing out the state’s mental
hospitals are a “blueprint for
disaster.” He said the “best and
perhaps last hope of avoiding
this disaster” is to prevent the
DMH “from visiting . un-
planned _deinstitutionalization
upon all of us.”

The union also proposed strict
state standards and controls if
and when local or private facil-
ities take over the responsibility
of care for the mentally ill. Such
standards would include “ap-
propriate staff-to-patient ratios
and the certification of mental
health workers employed in men-
tal health facilities,” Mr. Feath-
erstonhaugh added.

The CSEA stressed that there
must be legislation to protect the
rights of employees who are
transferred to the employ of a
municipality as a result of dein-
stitutionalization. This protection
must cover seniority rights, pay
scales, accumulated leave and
other benefits,

Mr. Featherstonhaugh cau-
tioned the legislators that the
phase-out of state institutions
“will require an expenditure of
additional funds, and the public
must not be deceived into think-
ing that this is a plan which will
save money.”

He pointed out that training
money would be needed to bridge
any gaps which might exist be-

tween community-based titles
and their Institutional counter-
parts; that staffing levels in in-
stitutions must be raised to com-
ply with the Willowbrook. Con-
sent Decree; that aftercare fa-
cilities must be established and
maintained; and that supervi-
sion and inspection teams must
be provided to give accountabil-
ity to localities and to private,
non-profit organizations,

After all the necessary infor-
mation has been gathered, the
union said, public hearings
should be held throughout the
state “In the communities in-
volved, to prepare the public to
provide a reasonable environ-
ment for the patients, and to
determine what community fa-
cilities will be available to the
residents,”

The union charged that DMH
officials have admitted having
plans for the removal of some
1,200 mentally retarded residents
of state institutions during fis-
cal 1977 alone, although officials
do not know into what alterna-
tive facilities the patients will
be placed.

“The residents and employees
of the DMH, the legislature and
the people of the State of New
York have the right to know
what the DMH is planning to do

with the mentally ill of this
state,” Mr. Featherstonhaugh
said.

CORRECTION

We don't claim to have the
wisdom of Solomon, but we have
to admit that The Leader went
pretty far afield in a photo iden-
tification in the Jan. 7, 1977,
edition. On page 9, Assemblyman
Gerald Solomon (Rep.-Washing-
ton, Rensselaer, Warren) was
mistakenly identified as Assem-
blyman Pred Field, Jr. (Rep.-Al-
bany). At least we had the party
right, if not the person.

. THREE, TWO, OWE... YOU'RE ON THE AIR

CSEA Gets Into The Picture
And The Fun Begins To Roll

By JANE B. BERNSTEIN
T all started out with this
guy wearing a toilet seat

around his neck, holding a
football and playing records
on the air,

Of course, since public access
cable television air time is free
in Albany, he could do whatever
he wanted as long as it wasn't
obscene, whether or not anyone
cared to watch.

But one April evening in 1976,
another guy by the name of
George Olson happened to be
playing with his cable control
panel and hit the button for
Channel 16. And there, much to
his surprise, was the guy’ with
the toilet seat

And that's how the
Questions and Answers”
television show was born
produced by that guy named
George Olson, who happens to
be president of the Civil Service
Employees Assn.'s Department of
Commerce chapter

“I was really curious as to
what the whole thing was about,”
George says as he gnaws on a
french-fry in an Albany diner
“I figured if this turkey could
have a show like this, why not a
union information-type show?"

And so he called the station
for air time requirements and
found that anyone could use it,
including the CSEA, although
it's a special interest group.

“CSEA
cable

George approached some of
the association officers with the
idea, but most said they were
not able to spare the time for
such an undertaking. As a re-
sult, the brainstorm was ignored
for a couple of months.

What finally got the ball roll-
ing was George's wife, Helen
She went away on vacation at
the end of June and left him
with a lot of time on his hands.
Time to go down to the studio
and fill out the necessary forms
to request alr time.

“My idea was to get informa-
tion out to the CSEA member-
ship,” George said. “They must
know the latest on pensions, re-
tirement and the internal goals
of the organization.”

And so it came to pass that
George Olson, along with CSEA
executive vice-president Bill Mc-
Gowan and public relations man
Dan Campbell went before the
station's mini-cam in a tiny
room in a small office building
in Albany, It was a sort of “who,

what and why of the CSEA”
program, That was Aug. 4, 1976.

The union show has been go-
Ing ever since it may not be
exactly the hottest thing in the

Nielson rating, but there are quite
a few people out there in Albany
tv. land who catch the show
each Wednesday evening at 9
p.m., George maintains.

The fact ts, he confides, more
union members should be watch-
ing the program in other areas
around the state. It is taped reg-
ularly for distribution to local
public access channels in other
regions.

Indeed, the subjects covered
are of Interest to state employees.
Some of the t.v. talks have cen-
tered on the Pension Reform Act,
public relations in the union, the
Agency Shop Bill, legal assist-
ance and women in public em-
ployment. One show was even
devoted to this newspaper, with
Leader editor Marvin Baxley ex-
plaining the ins and outs of the
publishing business.

Aside from its obvious educa-
tional and informative merits,
George says, doing the show is
@ lot of fun.

The crew is made up of other
CSEA members, including Ruth
Lovegrove, Kathleen Hahn and
Bob Holly, Ruth and Kathy are
employed by the Department of
Commerce, and Bob, who owns
and has contributed one of the
show's video cameras, the sound
mixer and microphones, is an
employee of the Department of
Health.

Sometimes the crew gets into
a playful mood and harasses
George while he’s on camera.
One time, he said, on a very
hot night, they gave him a cup
of water—a cup made from a
sheet of notebook paper.

“There was @ hole in the bot-
tom of the damn thing,” he said,
“and it started to drip all over
me. The crew wouldn't take me

Crew member Ruth Lovegrove keeps a check om the tv, monitor to

make sure everything is coming through clear,

off camera, so I had to sit there
looking nonchalant while the
thing ran all over my leg for
fifteen minutes. They just stood
there laughing while I sat there
dying.”

Sometimes the jokes are un-
intentional, When the station got
some new equipment, with better
microphones, George's mike was
plugged into the main input in-
stead of the other mike. No one
was aware of the blunder. When
he got home that night, George
asked his wife how the show
looked

“She told me it was lke a one
hour obscene phone call,” George
smirks, “All you could hear over
the voices the whole time was
my breathing—the mike picked
it up.”

‘The whole operation may
sound a bit unprofessional, but
this reporter definitely experi-
enced @ nervous twinge at being
@ guest on the show and appear-
ing on any kind of tv, for the
first ume.

George had finished his french
fries, and we are on our way to
the tiny room in the small office
building to do the show, Also
appearing to be interviewed, is
Helena Barlowe, union member
and employee of the Office of
Genera) Services. The topic for
discussion is affirmative action
for state workers. The theme
music begins, a bit of baroque,
and then Bob Holly is giving the
“you're almost on the alr” sig-
nal I fear I will pass out as soon
as the red light appears over the
camera, signifying that the show,
(and all of us) are coming across

the alr waves and into the living-
rooms of the people of Albany
who happen to have cable tele-
vision sets.

Somehow the hour passes —
with a fairly lively discussion of
changes that could be made to
improve rights of all state em-
Ployees through affirmative ac-
tion policies, There's quite a bit
of capering off-camera by the
crew and studio guests, and the
atmosphere relaxes into a happy,
silly, but informative one. One
hopes the mood won't change
when the station moves to a
better studio with @ third camera

George Olson talks with his guest, Leader Editor Marvin Baxley,
about how the newspaper functions.

After the show we view the
tape, and I leave the studio ex-
hilarated with having seen my
own image on a t.v.. screen. .
until we find out that someone
put a wrong plug in somewhere.
‘Turns out that every time I was
on camera, the picture broke up
so that it was impossible to
watch. So much for the big
debut.

George is already making
plans for the next show. and

FRIDAY JANUARY 21, 1977

Wollet's Folly

BVIOUSLY annoyed that Civil Service Employees Assn.

president Theodore C. Wenzl has not proved to be a
dutiful lap dog during the negotiations between the union
and the state, Office of Employee Relations director Donald
Wollet last week lashed out with one of the most unethical
verbal attacks in memory.

Negotiations are almost always hard-fought affairs—
not only between the two parties involved, but in many ways
for the opinion of the public.

Thus, when Mr. Wollet held a press conference last
week to decry the union's position, it started normally
enough. Hard words are expected from both sides when an
impasse is reached.

But the usual declaratory statements were not enough
for the state's chief negotiator. He had to go further and
attack the union and its leadership personally.

Perhaps he had been led to believe that the union lead-
ership is divided, which it is. But so what if it is. So is the
United States Congress and the State Legislature. The dif-
ference is that in the Congress and the Legislature, there
are political parties, and one expects members of the op-
position party to disagree on many issues with the majority
party members,

In the Civil Service Employees Assn., as in any union,
there are differences of opinion between some of the leaders,
and we regard this as a healthy sign of democracy. There
are not organized parties, however, and thus it is on issues
that the lines are temporarily drawn. It is an ongoing process.

Mr. Wollet, despite his presumed qualifications, is not
a New Yorker, although he is attempting to deal with a
union that is unique to this state

Because he is essentially an outsider, he may not have
been aware that his attack on the internal operation of the
CSEA was a faux pas of the first degree.

Within any given chapter of the CSEA there may be
great internal wrangling among members, but woe befall
the outsider who dare attack the chapter for he will face
a united union, The same goes for the CSEA’s six regions,
and for its statewide organization.

If Mr. Wollet thought to split the union leadership by
his attack, he was certainly proved wrong by the unanimous
vote of protest at last week's meeting of the CSEA Board
of Directors.

He did, however, stir the Board to demand greater
effort through public relations and advertising to bring the
public employees’ message to the rest of the public.

The union has also demanded that the Governor remove
Mr. Wollet as the state's chief negotiator. We would hope
that Mr. Wollet himself would sense that he overstepped
his role to such an extent that his usefulness has been
permanently impaired,

As such we hope he has the decency to step down of his
own accord in the best interest of labor harmony and to
save the Governor further embarrassment. (M.0.B,)

statements coming out of Mayor
Beame's office can't conceal the
red flags that lie ahead.

Most significant among the
many problems confronting the
City is the loss of credibility in
the ability of the Beame Admin-
istration to cope with the city's
problems. This is clearly the mes-
sage sent forth by the city’s
banking community in the con-
ditions they demanded before
they would commit themselves to
further financial ald to the City.

To Handle Revenues

, These conditions include a
demand that the life of the
Emergency Financial Control
Board should be extended in or-
der to insure outside oversight
of the city’s financial programs
over the years ahead. In addi-
tion, the banks are demanding an
independent outside banking in-
stitution to serve as a trustee
for the handling of all real estate
tax revenues.

These revenues are the pri-
mary source, under the State
Constitution, for meeting the
city's bonded indebtedness pay-
ments. Evidently the banks have
no confidence in the ability of
the Beame Administration to
handle those revenues properly.
The »ppointment of such a trus-
tee, as demanded by the banks,
falls little short of the appoint-
ment of a receiver in bankruptcy.

Finally the banks insist upon
outside auditors to examine into
the City’s financial transactions
and accounting procedures, In-
udequate accounting has been a
clty failing for decades. Yet very
little has been done to modern-
ize the system to confirm to ac-
ceptable accounting procedures.

What ts equally significant is
that the lack of credibility in the
Beame Administration shown by
the banks reflects the general
public attitude. Public opinion
polls clearly indicate that a ma-
jority of the city's voters are op-
posed to another Beame can-
didacy for Mayor this year.

Disenchantment by the public,
the banking and business com-
munity with the Beame Adminis-
tration followed swiftly on the
heels of submission of what is
required by law to be a balanced
budget for the city for the com-
ing fiscal year. It is a compli-
ment to the budget to say that
it is held together by paste and
toothpicks. It is really the stuff
that nightmares are made of.

Betrayal Of Civil Service
The Beame budget is a betray-
al of the civil service system,
since it calls for a reduction of
the city’s work force by another

_, 7.500 employees. This is on top

of the more than 50,000 city
employees who have already be-
come the victims of the city’s
fiscal program. It means that
more policemen and firemen, as
well as more civil service em-
ployees in all areas of the city's
operations, are faced with pink
slips in the near future,

Prom the point of view of the
people of the city, it means
more crime on the street, more
deaths from fires, dirtier streets,
larger class sizes, and further
cuts in all of the city's lfe-sup-
port programs.

Moreover, even in the face of
these sharp cuts, it is clear that
the proposed budget has con-
cealed deficits. The budget as-
sumes increased state aid funds,
despite the fact that Governor
Carey has made it clear that no

Negotiation Of Job Abolition

During negotiations in 1976, the City of Watertown and
the Watertown Fire Fighters’ Assn. reached an impasse.
They submitted the matter to fact-finding, and while wait-
ing for the report of the fact-finder, the City Council adopt-
ed its annual budget. In this budget, the City Council re-
duced the number of uniformed personnel positions in the
fire department from 121 to 114. Later on, the fact-finder
issued his report. The parties scheduled a meeting to dis-
cuss the report. In the interim, the Association president ad-
vised the city's chief negotiator, who was also the city
manager, that he wanted to discuss the impact of the job
eliminations. The city manager stated he would not engage
in such discussions, since that subject was outside the scope
of the fact-finder's report. On three separate occasions at the
meeting itself, the Association president asked the city mana-
ger to negotiate or discuss the impact of the job reductions.
The Association president offered the city manager an en-
velope that contained contract proposals relating to that
subject. The city manager refused to accept the envelope
and refused to enter into any discussions.

CHARGES OF IMPROPER practice were filed by the
Association against the city with State PERB. A hearing
was conducted and the hearing officer concluded that the
city had+ violated Section 2-0-a(1) (d) of the Act and rec-
ommended that the city be ordered to negotiate in good
faith. In reaching his decision, the hearing officer pointed
out that the law is quite clear to the effect that an employer
must, upon receiving a proper demand, negotiate the im-
pact of job abolishments. The city argued in support of
its position that the demands were made at a meeting which
was held specifically to discuss a fact-finder’s report. Al-
though the city sought to confine the meeting to the con-
sideration of the report, the city manager knew very well
from the Association's letters that the Association desired
to discuss the impact of the job reductions at that meeting,
and there was no agreement between the parties that this
issue would not be raised at the meeting. Nevertheless,
whether or not the demand was properly made on July 14,
which was the date of the meeting to discuss the fact-finder’s
report, the city manager was well aware of the Association's
request and never gave any indication that it would be will-
ing to discuss or negotiate the impact of the job reductions.
The city further argued that its action in reducing the
number of jobs from 121 to 114 did not result in any layoffs,
since none of the positions were filled at the time they
were removed from the budget. Although not specifically
argued, the city urged the position that the duty to nego-
tlate over the impact of job reductions arises only when
occupied positions are affected. The hearing officer, how-
ever, did not reach this question since the factual allega-
tion was not supported by any facts in the record, City

State Negotiations

Editor, The Leader:

Contract negotiations with the
state are at an impasse situa~
tion. The negotiations of 1975
and 1976 give us a precedent
for our situation. The 1977 out-
look is just as bleak. First media-
tion will fail. Then, Carey will
reject @ fact-finder’s report. Fi-
nally, the 12-man legislative
committee will undoubtedly
agree to Carey's 1977 salary rec~
ommendations of between $50
and $250 per work, depending
upon bargaining unit. Once the
good governor makes final wage
Proposals, he won't change. 1975
was the $250 bonus; 1976, the
wage freeze. Demonstrations or
half-hearted strike threats didn't
budge Carey. Both times, he
stuck to his original final offer.

So here we are again. A salary
Proposal that is, in effect, a
wage freeze for the third straight
year.

Let's not delude ourselves into
paragge that things will get

this the year we finally

ie
make a stand, or will we back

down again? If the CSEA mem-
bership fails to act and our
leaders won't organize, remem-
ber, Carey could be our governor
for six more years,

Imagine, fellow members, by
adhering to a Taylor Law which
favors the state, we could face
up to six more nightmarish
years.. Carey won't stop with a
wage freeze. Unchecked, he'll
impose pay cuts and reduced
benefits in the future.

the old law, benefits paid on the

a named beneficiary were exemp-

the benefits were payable from a

Under the new act, this exclu-
sion is limited to non-lump-sum
distributions from qualified
plans, including Keogh and TRA
programs that affect distribution
made after December 31, 1976.

A provision that will affect
some taxpayers is the classifying
of distributions from qualified
plans as earned income. This
condition, by taking the distri-
butions out of unearned income,
allows the recipient to come
under the 50 percent maximum
tax rate for personal-service-tax-

Southern Region Looks
To This Year's Ballot

NEWBURGH—The first step towards the 1977 statewide and regional Civil Service
Employees Assn. elections was taken Dec. 16 by Southern Region II unit and chapter
presidents when they elected a nominating committee at a meeting here.

Eva Katz was elected chairman of the seven-member committee. Southern Region

president James J. Lennon ap-
pointed Ms. Katz, William
George and Pat Mascioli us
members of the statewide nom-
inating committee. Vince Covat-
U, David Freer, Madeline Mack-
ey and Peg Connors were named
members of the regional nom-
inating committee.

In other action at the meeting,
field supervisor Thomas Lupo-
sello struck a note of cheer
when he reported how the CSEA
has continued its unbroken rep-
resentation election winning
streak by beating the Service In-
ternational Employees Union in
three separate elections.

Mr. Luposello analyzed the
string of victories for the presi-
dents, pointing out that the main
reason for them was the “tre-
mendous" amount of help pro-
vided by CSEA officers, field
representatives, members and re-

tirees in each of the campaigns.

‘The CSEA won the represen-
tation election in Ulster County
by a margin of 497-268, In 1974,
the CSEA defeated the SEIU in
another Ulster County represen-
tation election by 375 to 348, and
the big recent victory was at-
tributed by Mr. Luposello to in-
creased awareness on the part
of county employees of the fact
that “CSEA fights hardest und
best for them.”

The Thruway election, in
which the CSEA trounced the
SEIU 901-632, and the Sullivan
County election, which the CSEA
won 169-108, also brought out
that the CSEA is by far the best
union for public employees,” Mr.
Luposello said.

‘The regional field supervisor
also noted that while it is good
to talk about past victories, there

Conners, Pat Mascioli, Vince Covatti and David Freer,

are always new problems pend-
ing in the future.

One of these problems, he said,
is in Rockland County, where
the 1,750-member county unit
has filed an improper practice
charge against the county legis-
lature. It alleges failure to bar-
gain in good faith. The union
also declared an impasse in the
effort to get a new contract for
county employees and is awalt-
ing mediation sessions to be con-
ducted by the Public Employment
Relations Board.

President Lennon discussed
the state's program of decreas-
ing the number of patients at
state hospitals and transferring
the facilities at these hospitals to
county auspices. There have
been many layoffs of public em-
ployees in the Department of
Mental Hygiene since this pro-
gram started in 1971, and even
more are threatened in the fut-
ure, Mr. Lennon said.

“As regional president, I am
unalterably opposed to the pol-
ley of putting Mental Hygiene
facilities under the control of
the counties. This policy could
and would be disastrous if those
patients are placed in the care
of untrained people when they
were previously cared for by
dedicated state employees. A pri-
mary concern is also the absolute
protection of the Civil Service
system, because a transfer of
these facilities could destroy
benefits earned through many
years of faithful service,” Mr.
Lennon said.

Mr. Masclolf, regional political
action committee chairman, re-
ported that Southern Region
PAC collected $9,766.22 this year
and spent $7,966.90 in the 1976
campaign, leaving & balance of
$1,799.82

Martin Langer, president of
Rockland Psychiatric Center
chapter, reported that his chap-
ter Is trying to raise $8,000 for
PAC through a 50-50 club raffle.
He urged other chapters to try
this method “as a good way to
raise PAC funds.”

Two Ex-Cops, Seeking
Johs Back, Lose Again

Two former city police of-
ficers, fired when they re-
fused to tell the department
about alleged criminal acts
despite a grant of immunity,
may have taken a third strike in
their lawsuits to get back on the
force,

The latest setback came when
the Manhattan Appellate Divis-
fon threw out their appeal for
reinstatement. All five judges
agreed the cops, who were not
identified in court papers, were
legally required to answer ques-
tions concerning their conduct
and indictment for burglary,
grand larceny and official mis-
conduct.

The judges pointed out that
the department offered the cops
immunity for their testimony
during the investigation, mean-
ing that anything they said
could not be used in court, al-
though it was admissible at a
departmental trial. Therefore,
when the cops still refused to
talk, the judges said, they could

not claim constitutional viola-
tions.

The department shortly after-
ward fired the pair for refusing
to testify under immunity.

‘The cops originally filed a fed-
eral lawsuit to get an injunction
to prevent the departmental
trial. This failed, as did a separ-
ate action in State Supreme
Court after they were dismissed.

‘The Appellate Division, on the
appeal from the Supreme Court
ruling, said there was nothing
illegal in their dismissal from
the force, They said immunity
granted the ex-cops was proper.
Then for good measure, the
judges told them they were really
wasting their time in court, be-

court of competent jurisdiction
(federal court),” the appeals
court sald, “that determination
bars any other suit where the
same issue is decisive.”

A Variety Of Posts

Positions, which currently have
vacancies in Orange and Rock-
land Counties, require one year's
general clerical experience and
one year’s specialized experience
at the GS-4 level, which pays
$8,316. An extra year's special-
ized experience is required for
GS-5, which pays $9,303.

The specialized experience re-
quired depends on the particular
area desired. The areas are gen-
eral accounting and administra-
tion, benefit—payment roll, ac-

counts maintenance, cash pro-
cessing, voucher examining and
payroll. Education can be sub-
stituted for experience.

Shorthand reporter requires
one year's exy for GS-T,
which pays $11,523, and three
years’ for GS-9, which pays $14,-
097. ‘

Reporting stenographer, which
pays $9,303 at GS-5, has no
training or é&perience require-
ments.

CSEA STRENGTH IN UNITY
MEMBERSHIP DRIVE

EXTENDED TO APRIL 1, 1977

Never in the history of our union has it been so
vital to stick together — grow together and share the
load to keep us strong. In these tough times, the
greater the percentage of membership of any county

unit or chapter, the greater the strength at the bar-"

gaining table. The greater the percentage of state
employees belonging to CSEA, the greater the
strength of the state bargaining units.

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

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

For each new member you sign up between now
and April 1, 1977, CSEA will award you $5.00. After
you have signed up the new member he must be on
the payroll for four bi-weekly pay periods or the
equivalent thereof.

CHAPTER OR UNIT PRESIDENT
HAS CONVENIENT SIGN-UP
CARDS

Ready to go? See your Chapter or Unit .president
for special sign-up cards which have a place to rec-

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

We'll keep your account up to date and will return

to you, in writing, a receipt for each new member
you've signed up. In approximately 8-12 weeks you
will receive your cash payoff.
New members must work in a unit of government
represented by CSEA. So we urge you CSEA mem-
bers — go to it — start signing up non-members for
cash in your pocket and security in your future.

NON-MEMBERS SHOULD
HELP SHARE THE LOAD

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

So help us share the load by signing up with us.

Salary Increase Recommended
For Pulaski Central Teachers

ALBANY—A PERB fact-finder recommended a two-year agreement with a 5.5 per-
cent salary increase for teachers in the Pulaski Central School District (Oswego County)

in the first year.

Robert W. Ahern, of Syracuse, is the fact-finder named by the State Public Employ-

ment Relations Board in a con-
tract dispute between the school
district and the Pulaski Teach-
ers Association.

Mr. Ahern recommended the
salary increase plus increment.
He said that assuming the dis-
trict’s estimate of the average
ecst of increments to be 2.5 per-
cent, this means a total average
increase of 8 percent the first
year. He further recommended
a 45 percent increase effective
July 1, 1977.

Other
clude:

—No change in current gradu-
ate credit hour payment of $16.

—Increase District's payment
for dependent health insurance
from 35 percent to 60 percent
effective July 1, 1976; effective
July 1, 1977, the District to pay
90 percent of premium for em-
ployees provided that the em-
ployee and dependent rates, ef-
fective July 1, 1977, will be con-

Local 445 Opposes Plan
To Relocate Heck Clients

SCHENECTADY—Members of the Eleanor Roosevelt De-
velopmental Services Local 445 of the Civil Service Employees
Assn. are unanimously opposing the relocation of 154 clients
to the O.D. Heck Developmental Center by March 31, 1977.

This action, proposed by the De-
partment of Mental Hygiene, will
be a complete about face in the
Department's philosophy of com-
munity-based programs. It will
overload the current staff, un-
dereut the community based
program and leave those partici-
pating communities, patients,
families and public officials in
a difficult situation.

A resolution passed by the
Eleanor Roosevelt Developmen-
tal Services’ CSEA membership,
describing the situation, stressed:

“We are not in any way op-
posed to resettlement. In fact,
we at Eleanor Roosevelt Devel-
opmental Services have provided
community homes for former de-
velopmental center residents in
far greater numbers, and with
greater success, than any other
region in New York State. How-
ever, for the proposed resettle-
ment, humane planning should
have been top priority: quality
services for clients through ra-
tional assignment of workers. We
decry the real basis for the De-
partment of Mental Hygiene

planning: the money realized
from federal support of the in-
stitutional model.

“It is th's financial interest
that has propelled the threaten-
ed desertion of the community
programming which will doubt-
Jess send many more people to
more and more crowded res!~
dential units. We want to make
clear that these short term gains
in dollars and cents will leave
a long term heritage of expen-
sive, unmanageable and over-
crowded warehouses, understaff-
ed by overworked and demora-

in 1977 and 1978,

The 61 members of the unit
voted 2 to 1 to accept the con-
tract which is retroactive to Jan.
1, 1977.

The inclusion of a grandfather
clause allowing town employees
currently living outside Rotter-
dam to maintain thelr current
addresses was a major item ne-
gotiated by the unit. The Rotter-
dam town boufd is expected to
adopt a resolution requiring all
future town employees to reside
within Rotterdam. Last October,

pending the results of these ne-
gotiations, the board tabled a
provision in the law that those
currently living outside town
boundaries would be given one
year to establish residency in the
town.

‘The first year of the contract
also calls for an additional day
of vacation for each year after
20 years of employment, up to 25
years. In the second year of the
contract, up to 150 sick days may
be converted into service to the
town upon retirement.
