Dental Insurance Plan
Adopted For State Aides
, By Board Of Directors

ALBANY—The Civil Service Employees Assn. an-
nounced that it has finalized plans to adopt the dental plan
proposed by Group Health Dental Insurance, Inc., for the
188,000 State employees covered under four CSEA-State
contracts, effective April 1, 1971.

“After careful consideration of all possible dental plans
available to us with the funds we have available from the
State,” said a CSEA spokesman, “we have decided that
the GHDI plan is the best plan we can get for State em-
ployees this year. This does not preclude CSEA, however,
from seeking an even better dental plan for State employees
in our negotiations with the State next year.”

The plan was approved by CSEA’s Board of Directors
at its meeting last week in Syracuse after being presented
by Robert S. Wall, chairman of the insurance committee.

The GHDI dental plan, available to all State employees
in the four units who have been on the payroll for six
months or more, as of April 1, 1971, includes a $50 de-
ductible clause for individual coverage and a $150 deducti-
ble clause for family coverage, plus a 70-30 co-insurance
feature for basic dental work, and a 50-50 co-insurance fea-

ture for orthodontic work.

CSEA Is Sole Beneficiary

Of Thruway Payroll Check Off

ALBANY — Council 50, American Federation of State,
County and Municipal Employees, has been rebuffed in its
attempt to stop the exclusive payroll dues check-off held
by the Civil Service Employees Assn. for State Thruway

employees who are CSEA mem-
bers.

Council 50 had sought to con-
tinue to collect its dues through
automatic payroll deduction, by
seeking an injunction from
State Supreme Court Justice
John T. Casey. Justice Casey
denied the injunction, upholding
CSEA's right to exclusive dues
checkoff as negotiated between

CSEA and the Thruway Au-
thority.
The denial was granted on

motion of both CSEA and the

CSEA negotiated exclusive pay-

way employees, who are repre-
sented by CSEA in two separate
bargaining units, last year.

CSEA is also the bargaining
representative for State employ-
ees in four of five State bar-
gaining units, and negotiated
exclusivity in payroll deduction
of dues and insurance in those
four units. The Appellate Divi-
sion of State Supreme Court has
upheld CSEA’s right to exclu-
sivity in these units, and the
ease Is now pending before the
Court of Appeals, the State's
highest court.

ALBANY—Theodore C. Wenzl, Statewide president of the Civil Service Employees
Assn., has reiterated his demand for an immediate investigation hy the Department of
Mental Hygiene to determine whether or not adequate security forces are provided at var-

dous State institutions.
Referring to a statement by
Mental Hygiene Commissioner
Alan Miller assuring CSEA that
a “careful review” of security
standards will be conducted,
Wenzl said that “serious meas-

Suffolk Chapter
Wins Grievance
On Promotion

SMITHTOWN — The Suf-

Employees Assn., has won
another grievance by taking
the case to court.

In the latest of a series of vic-
tories, CSEA regional attorney
Lester B, Lipkind of Babylon
won an order directing the
County Civil Service Dept. to
honor the applications of a
member for promotional exam-
inations.

The member has been stricken
from an eligible list for head
custodian and barred from fur-
ther examinations because he
had failed to disclose an arrest
for disorderly conduct in 1960

Supreme Court Justice Arthur
Cromarty ruled in Riverhead
that “to foreclose all hope of
future advancement because of

fraction is unjustice. ., .”

The CSEA president added
that “the promise from the De-
Partment that it will make use
of all available law enforcement

“These incidents of violence

would result in raising security

Caso Agrees With CSEA
Stand On Salary Increase

From Leader Correspondent

MINEOLA—The full 7.6

percent cost-of-living adjust-

ment demanded in a lawsuit by the Nassau chapter of the
Civil Service Employees Assn. has been granted by the

County.

County Executive Ralph G.
Caso, announced that his County
attorney had found that “the lan-
guage of te contract supports
the position of the CSEA.”

Caso'’s predecessor in office,
Eugene H. Nickerson, had bud-
@eted only 7.1 percent for cost-
of-living boosts provided by the
CSEA contract, Chapter presi-
dent Irving Flaumenbaum, how-
ever, produced evidence from the
Bureau of Labor Statistics and
the CSEA Albany research office
fixing the cost-of-living rise in
Nassau last year at 7.6 percent,

Plaumenbaum was upheld by
an impartial arbitrator, How-
ever, by the time the ruling was
issued in December, it was too
late to amend the budget. Caso,
who was scheduled to take office
Jan. 1, protested that he did not
know where the extra money
would be found,

When he failed to heed Flaum-
enbaum's demand for immediate
action after taking office,
CSEA filed a suit in Supreme

center of our Federal structure
—the subtle and complex rela-
tionship between the sovereign
states and the central govern-
ment that they created and to
which they delegated specific
powers.

Federal revenue sharing is not
yet a household phrase, but its
implications are significant for
every American household. Sena-
tor Edmund S. Muskie of Maine
is best known publicly for his
work on environmental legis-
lation, but he became Senator
Hubert H. Humphrey’s selection
as a candidate for Vice-President
because of the respect and ad-
miration he earned from his
colleagues and professionals for
his nuts and bolts work as Chair-
man of the Senate Subcommittee
on Intergovernmental Relations,
which deals principally with the
intricate problems of the role of
the states in the face of centri-
fugal forces that pull govern-
mental authority to Washington,

Perceptive political leaders
recognize the political implica-
tions involved in resolving the
area of governmental relations.
Mayor John V. Lindsay is the
outstanding spokesman among
the Nation's Mayors for Federal
revenue sharing, a circumstance
that will do Lindsay no harm
if Presidential ambitions lurk in
his bosom. Assembly Speaker
Perry B. Duryea, a prospective
candidate to succeed Goy. Nelson
A. Rockefeller when he retires,
has become the most significant
leader for Federal revenue shar-
ing in the National Conference
of State Legislators. From this
vantage point, Speaker Duryea
will have State and regional
forums for public appearances
and for meeting with the voters.

President Nixon’s proposal for
Federal revenue sharing inevit-
ably also aroused misgivings
among leaders in the House of
Representatives, who are jealous
of their Constitutional preroga-
tives for originating all revenue
measures, House Speaker Carl
Albert of Oklahoma reflected the

views of many Congressmen,
when he said that President Nix-
on “wants to hand out money
we don’t have to states and lo-
calities without strings attached.
Whenever a local government is
foundering for inefficiency or
some other reason, we will be
expected to shore it up. I don’t
see much in that for us; we
levy the taxes and somebody
else spends the money.”
Curiously enough, while Gov-
ernor Rockefeller and Mayor
Lindsay are outstanding propon-
ents of the Federal revenue
sharing principle, each in his
own way has contributed to the
force of Congressional opposition
to the proposal. When Speaker
Albert refers to a local govern-
ment “foundering for ineffici-

ency,” he may indeed have in
mind the lodging of welfare re-
cipients in the Waldorf Astoria,
a circumstance that must be a
cause for shock among his Okla-
homa constituents. Moreover,
those constituents may further
be shocked at the report of a
cost of $85 million for waste
and inefficiency in the construc-
tion of the Albany South Mall.
Part of the problem is that
what happens in Oklahoma dies
in Oklahoma, but what happens
in New York becomes instant
national news. And outlanders
are always prepared to think the
worst of New Yorkers.
Whatever the merits of Fed-
eral revenue sharing may be, it
4s an act of prudence on the
part of the Governor to plan for
@ balanced State budget without
anticipating any significant in-
crease in present Federal aid pro-
grams. The calendar militates
against any other course. The
State fiscal year begins on April
1, 1971, and there is no prospect
for Congressional approval of
Federal revenue sharing before
that critical date. The calendar
problem similarly applies to the
budgets of local governments
within the State. What looms
ahead is an increased level of
State and local taxes while con-
troversy embroils the issue of
Federal revenue sharing.

Menace Of Drunken Smoker

MEMO TO: Madison Avenue.
RE: The drunken smoker.
THE DRUNKEN smoker?

YES, THE DRUNKEN smoker ... who has been emerg-
ing as one of the greatest menaces to life and property in
New York City and across the Nation.

MAN HAS ALWAYS had the diabolical cleverness to
create things that have a prime utility and a secondary use
that destroys. By this standard, fire has been both an eternal
help and a scourge to mankind.

SINCE WE FIREFIGHTERS are in the business of reduc-
ing the productivity of our members—a productivity, in-
cidentally, which has risen more than 300 percent in the
last decade—we have more than a passing interest in any=-
thing that increases fires and fire fatalities. Whatever does
this is our natural enemy.

And SO IT was with extreme interest that we noted
remarks in the Fire Dept.’s recent report on 1970 that dealt
with the drunken smoker. Generally, the comments went al-
most unnoticed—as eye-opening as they were to the pro-
fessional firefighter.

THE DEPARTMENT reported that we lost a record
number of 319 persons in fires in 1970, a tragic but not
unsurprising fact, inasmuch as the number of fires has
continued to skyrocket in recent years.

THE REVELATION, however, was that 43 percent of
all casualties—nearly half—occurred in fires caused by in-
toxicated persons, usually someone smoking in bed or other=
wise guilty of careless and hazardous action.

THE FIRE in the mattress or the overstuffed easy chair,
usually caused by a careless smoker, may not be spectacular
so far as fires go—but it sure is deadly! For a professional

Pay Boost,

FSA Officials With Coercion,
Interference Against Members

BINGHAMTON — A hearing of a complaint filed by the
Civil Service Employees Assn., alleging unfair labor practices
by the Faculty Student Assn. management at the State Uni-
versity of New York at Binghamton, has been set by the State

Labor Relations Board for Tues-
day, Feb. 9.

The hearing was called after
€SEA filed a petition against the
Binghamton FSA, charging that
the FSA has been engaging in
acts of interference and coercion
toward CSEA members and em-
ployees of the FSA.

John D. Corcoran, Jr, CSEA
regional field supervisor, explain-
ed that “The Board obviously
found sufficient reason to hold a
hearing to find. out what the
facts are.

“The FSA has been engaging
in tactics of alternately threat-
ening employees and then offer-
ing them promises of better
wages and other inducements,”
Corcoran continued, “in an ef-
fort to discourage them from
joining CSEA or voting for CSEA
in scheduled representation elec-
tions. This is an obvious viola-
tion of the employees’ rights un-

Law, and therefore represents

unfair labor practices on the part
of the FSA.

“They have continuously har-
assed and interfered with CSEA
members, while they were engag-
ing in their authorized duties.
They've threatened to dismiss
employees who yoted for CSEA.
They’ve threatened to cut the
workers’ pay, as well as promised
to increase their pay if they
don’t choose CSEA, and offered
other rewards to discourage
membership in CSEA.”

Coreoran concluded, “This is
only part of a long list of anti-
union charges we will present at
the hearing. CSEA will also insist
on a new election for Bingham-
ton FSA employees so that they
can decide for themselves what
representation they want, with-
out the fear of employer pressure
or restraints threatening their
job security. Employees should
be assured that they will be well
represented by CSEA at this
hearing.”

New Fringe Benefits

After 7 Months Of Bargaining

(From Leader Correspondent)
LOCKPORT—The contract accepted last week by the Niagara County chapter of the

Civil Service Employees Assn. provides for seven percent pay increases each year of a two-

year agreement.

The chapter represents nearly 800 white-collar County employees.

‘The work pact, approved over-
whelmingly by the membership,
was passed by the County law-

makers after a fact-finders’s re- *

port recommended the 1444 per-
cent total wage hikes.

The contract was settled after
seven months of frustrating bar-
gaining with the County repre-
sentatives by negotiators €or the
chapter.

Arthur Perez was chairman of
the chapter’s negotiating com-
mittee. Members of the commit-
tee included Marilouise Randall,
Forrest Maxwell, Nancy Rowles
and William A. Doyle, chapter
president.

Robert A. Millings was the

Doy'e, Millings continued, “as-
sisted in leading the negotia-
tions and without his outstand-
ing devotion to his job in sup-
plying the facts and figures, the
agreement might never have
been reached.”

The agreement calls for the
seven. percent raise, or $438 the
first year, and the seven percent
raise, or $491 the second year.

Other provisions Include:

For Doyle, It Was

(From Leader Correspondent)

LOCKPORT—“You get whacked over the head so much
you begin to wonder if you’re ever going to get anywhere.”

William A, Doyle was talking. He’s president of a
nearly 800-member Civil Service Employees Assn. chapter
that has just agreed to a contract with Niagara County
after seven months of frustrating negotiations.

“We started negotiating in the latter part of June and
the first thing the County offered w: four percent for
both years—nothing else, no fringe benefits at all,” Doyle,
a member of the negotiating committee, remembe'

The chapter finally—seven months later—ratified a

pact providing 1414

Ott a gross waste of money and expensive time,
Doyle says of the bargaining.

“We couldn’t get anywhere,” he continues, “and we
could have saved seven months if after two or three meet-
ings you just say let’s go to arbitration

The dispute did wind up in arbitration, after that step
was recommended by a mediator appointed by the State
Public Employment Relations Board,

Doyle remains somewhat disgruntled by the long im-
passe-dotted bargaining sessions with the County.

“It's a grossly disappointing affair and seems an ap-
parent gross deception on the part of the legislative commit-
tee, because it certainly didn’t want to conduct good faith
negotiations; it just wanted to go through the motions,”
he says.

Metro Conf. Debates Pensions,
Dental Plan, Negotiation Policy

By MARVIN BAXLEY

T is a tribute to the leadership ability of the Civil Service Employees

Assn.’s Metropolitan Conference president Randolph V. Jacobs and to

the discipline of the members who attended the January Conference
meeting that things went so smoothly.

After a routine start that included a
prayer and the pledge of allegiance to
the flag, topic after topic brought dele-
gates to their feet, vying for the right
to speak next. Most intense were the dis-
cussions on pensions, the dental health
plan and negotiation practices.

Sol Bendet, prestdent of the New York
City chapter as well as second vice-
president of the Statewide organiza-
tion, threw out the first blockbuster
when, following his report on the State
pension plan, he said: “And does that
mean I want to reopen the contract? My
answer is Yes!”

Rather tnan basing the retirement pen-
sion on the employee's final salary, Ben-

Legislators On Spot

He said that CSEA had commitments
from some Legislators to support such a
plan, but that there was also flack
from some people in Albany about re-
opening the contract. However, Bendet
emphasized CSEA’s own commitment to
the plan by saying, “If there is any
problem with getting this legislation, the
fault will lie with CSEA, our lobbyists
and with us!”

Bendet also figured prominently in
another heated discussion. No sooner had

(telling how the committee had agonized
for more than four months over vari-

president ‘issued an impassioned call for
its rejection,

Bendet suggested that the $4 million
allocated in the contract be used to
purchase a plan from GHI on the same
basis as Nassau County's plan—even if
{t meant starting the plan as late as
Dec, 1, 1971. “At least it could be con-
tinued thereafter at the more desirable
level,” he explained.

As the plan now stands, the dental in-
surance coverage will go into effect on
April 1, although the State will not be
ready with certain paraphernalia until
July.

Principai points of the arrangement,
Wall had explained are: eligibility of
employees of six-months standing, and
working at least 20 hours a week; cov-
erage of unmarried children 19 or young-
er, students to 25, or unlimited age for
dependent children unable to care for
themselves; $100 deductible for individ-
uals and $150 for families,

A HEALTHY CONCERN

€ What is the state of health of your health insurance

policy?

’ When did you last look at your health insurance policy?
Over 160 million Americans have some form of health

insurance.
it sounds great.
But.

Why not set aside a night this week to read your health
insurance policy? Put the benefits listed in your policy
under the hot white light of today’s soaring medical
costs, today’s demand for medical services, today’s
complex medical procedures.,

However.

If you belong to H.I.P.’s prepaid group practice health
care plan you do not have to worry about where you'll
get your medical care or how you'll pay for if. It’s all
under one “roof”, prepaid.

At H.LP. we urge you to use your health insurance
plan coverage.

We urge you to seek preventive health care.

We urge you to bring your children to see their pedi-
atrician.

We urge you to seek medical attention before minor
aches and pains become chronic.

H.1.P.’s prepaid group practice means truly paid in
full medical, surgical, specialist and maternity care
for however long the medical need exists.

H.I.P.’s Social Services, Nutritional and Health Edu-
cation programs help you to use your medical bene-
fits wisely.

This is what tomorrow’s medical care is all about.

This is why prepaid group practice health plans, such as
H.LP. are being talked about all over the country. Be-
cause H.I.P. represents the kind of health care protec-
tion all America instinctively wants for itself.

At H.L.P. you receive tomorrow's medical care today,
when you need it,

Inside Fire Lines

firefighter, the effects of “taking a feed” from such a fire
may linger in the body for up to seven years. For the vic-
tim, usually the hapless smoker himself, it often means the
end of the line because he has inhaled a fatal amount of the
fumes before the smoldering .blaze is discovered and an
alarm sounded.

IT HAS BEEN suggested that a campaign now be launch-
ed against the drunken smoker—much as the Nation has
been campaigning for years against the drunken driver.

TO BE SURE, there are overtones of humor—sardonic
humor—but it is a deadly proposition and one that will tax
the creative genius of Madison Avenue. I hope our advertis-
ing colleagues take this as seriously as the professional
firefighter—for it is a challenge with a life-or-death result
in the balance.

I DO NOT smoke myself. However, I am well aware
that those who do smoke are most desirous of doing so during
a cup of coffee or tea .. . or with a highball or beer.

YOU CAN ENCOURAGE an imbibing guest to make
coffee his “one for the road’”—but how do you convince him
not to have ‘just one more cigarette” before going to bed?

THAT SMOKE may be his last.

What Do You Want?

—Austerity Or Safety
UST how far has the austerity program announced re-

J cently by the State Administration cut into public
safety?

TUESDAY, FEBRUARY 2, 1971

The Civil Service Employees Assn. has demanded a
survey of the protection afforded employees and patients
alike at the State Mental Hospitals. A jump in the rate
of criminal attacks in State hospital grounds—as well as
other crimes—shows that there must be a serious: lack of
sufficient manpower at these institutions.

The Department of Mental Hygiene has countered
with a statemnet that they will bring in outside police
agenices if a serious probiem exists.

This is not proper. The responsibility of protecting
State institutions remains that of the State. Outside police
agencies are not staffed to provide constant patrols on the
State’s property, nor are they trained to cope with problems
dealing with mental patients. In addition, to ‘borrow” patrol
forces from local jurisdictions is only stealing vital protec-
tion from the taxpayers of that jurisdiction. Letchworth
Village, for example, is within the boundaries of two small
towns: Haverstraw and Stony Point who are lucky to be
able to put two patrolmen on the road at one time. The
State Police barracks in the area is also woefully small

and understaff.

Employees are entitled to protection by the Depart-

ment of Mental Hygiene. So,

of our national fabric,

FOR EXAMPLE, few people
know — and this includes the
recipients themselves — that a
New York City policeman’s job
costs the taxpayers $16,125 for
each policeman, including a free
pension contribution of over
$2,500 for each man.

WHEN THE TOTAL pay dis-

easily go from $16,125 to $20,000!

the new Federal pay increase is
the upgrading of civil service as

Law & You

By RICHARD GABA

Mr. Gaba is a member of the New York State Bar and chair-
man of the Labor Law Committee of the Nassau County Bar Assn.

Implementing Agreements

WHAT IS the status of a minority union with regard to
dues checkoff? This question was answered a few weeks ago
py the Appellate Division of the New York State Supreme
Court.

FOLLOWING the 1969 PERB certification of CSEA as
negotiating agent in four State units, negotiations were held
which resulted in the State granting CSEA exclusive payroll
deduction of membership dues and insurance premiums for
employees. The contracts provided that no other employee
organization shall be accorded such privileges.

COUNCIL 50, AFSCME commenced an Article 78 pro-
ceeding in Albany County Supreme Court to enjoin the State
Comptroller from discontinuing the dues checkoff for its
members. The petition was dismissed by the Judge in Spe-
cial Term.

IN AFFIRMING the Supreme Courts dismissal of the
case, the Appellate Division pointed out that section 654 of
the Executive Law authorizes the Director of the Office of
Employee Relations to instruct a State officer, department,
board, commission or agency to take such action as needed
to implement and administer the provisions of a binding
agreement between the State and a duly certified and recog-
nized employee organization.

AS TO A non-recognized, non-certified employee or-
ganization, the checkoff is not a vested right .. . but 2
privilege which may be withheld at the discretion of the
Director of Employee Relations. The employer is plainly
under no obligation to grant a checkoff to a minority union.

THE COURT concluded, “Since a public employer may
make its grant of checkoff privileges exclusive to the ma-
jority union, the Director of Employee Relations properly
terminated the exercise of checkoff privileges by appellant.”
Matter of Kraemer y. Helsby, 316 NYS 2d 88 (3d Dept. 1970).

ON THE SAME day the Kraemer case was decided, the
Appellate Division ruled in Matter of Buffalo Teachers’ Fed-
eration, Inc. vy. Helsby, 316 NYS 2d 125 (3d Dept. 1970), that
PERB has no responsibility with respect to violations by in-
dividual employees of the no-strike provisions of the Taylor
Law. The Board is authorized, however, to institute pro-
ceedings on its own motion to determine whether an em-
ployee organization has violated the Act.

IN ADDITION, the court passed on several constitutional
issues. The teachers’ federation contended that the charges
of violation had to be served upon it by personal service, and
that service by any other method violated due process. The
court said, “Due process does not require personal service,
and where the statute does not explicitly mandate such
service, PERB, as authorized by the statute, had implied
power to adopt a rule authorizing service by mail.”

THE TEACHERS also questioned the constitutionality
of the Taylor Act on the theory that PERB acts as both
prosecutor and hearing officer. The court stated there were
many administrative agencies -in New York such as the
Labor Relations Board, the Alcoholic Beverage Control Board,
the Department of Motor Vehicles and the Insurance Dept.,
in which the combination of investigation, prosecution and
decision-making had been held legal by the courts.

cee

ANOTHER RECENT Appellate Division decision involved
the interpretation of the 1957 group insurance contract be-
tween Blue Cross and the State of New York, which was
modified in 1966 to provide that benefits paid under the
plan would be reduced by the amounts payable under any
group insurance contract provided by another employer,
Pursuant to the contract, Blue Cross paid more than $1,000
toward the hospital bill of an employee's wife. She was
employed by a private company and was covered by a group
health insurance policy issued by Metropolitan Life. Pursuant
to the Metropolitan plan, the wife received in excess of $700

k toward her hospitalization,

THE APPELLATE Division gave judgment for Blue Cross
for the difference between what it paid and the amount
paid by Metropolitan. Blue Cross of Northeastern New York,

Capital Conference Sets Plans For
Annual Meeting And Officer Elections

By JOE DEASY, JR.

ALBANY—Plans for the annual meeting of
the Capital District Conference, Civil Service Em-
ployees Assn., were solidified here last week
when Conference delegates accepted committee
reports on the site—The Otesaga Inn, in Coopers-
town—and the dates, June 4, 5 and 6,

The meeting will be the scene of the biennial
election of officers. Max Benko, Pat Rutledge,
Geona Kepner, Nicholas Friscalli and Earl Kil-
martin will make up the nominating committee
to present candidate slates.

Conference president Ernest Wagner reported
on progress in his talks with Albany Mayor
Erastus Corning II concerning State employee
parking facilities on Sheridan Ave.

The meeting was held in Valle’s Steak House in

Ernest Wagner, second from left, welcomes new
field men to the conference area, Rex Trobridge,

Colonie. with a record attendance. Douglas Barr
urged chapter presidents to bring their grievance
and membership committee chairmen to future
conference meetings. Continuing in the same vein,
Harry Kolothros suggested that the chairmen of
the Conference grievance and membership com-
mittees visit chapters upon request to assist chap-
ters and advise on new methods of accomplish-
ing their goals.

Wagner alerted chapter presidents that he was
planning a meeting with them before the March
meeting at the Concord Hotel to discuss items
that are to be on the delegates’ agenda. Delegates
traveling to the Concord will be able to use a
chartered bus from the Capital District at a cost
of $7.50 for the round trip.

The Concord bus and a special one-day bus trip

“Tts this way,” social com-

to New York City on April 3, at $6 per member
for the round-trip, are activities of the special
transportation committee, under the chairman-
ship of Dorothy Honeywell.

Other activities of the Conference discussed at
the meeting included a Capital District CSEA
Night at the Ice Capades on Tuesday, March 30,
Special discounts are available to Conference
members, according to Miss Kepner, chairman of
the committee. The flu prevention shot program
is continuing under the direction of Wagner and
Harold Ryan, the committee concerned reported,

Among the guests attending the meeting were
CSEA Statewide president, Theodore Wenzl, sup-
ervising fieldman John Corcoran and Rex Tro-
bridge and James Cooney, new field representa-
tives in the Albany area.

Collective Bargaining, Fringe Benefits, Austerity
Program Highlight Western Conference Meeting

(From Leader Correspondent)

BUFFALO—Facts on col-
lective bargaining techni-
ques, fringe benefits and the
Nation’s leading cancer re-
search center were dispensed re-
cently at the Western Counties

orkshop and meeting of the

porrsier Conference of the Civil
Service Employees Assn.

Robert Guild, collective bar-
gaining specialist from CSEA
Headquarters, Albany, provided
the negotiating information.

Donald Rosenbaum of the New
York State Retirement System
offered the advice on fringe ben-
efits, giving detailed explana-
tions of three negotiable benefits

Dr. Gerald P, Murphy, direc-

r of Roswell Park Memorial
Institute here and principal
speaker at the Conference’s eve-
ning session, conveyed interest-
ing items about the research fa-
eility he heads,

Guild and Rosenbaum spoke at
the morning Workshop and the
afternoon Conference meetings,
which saw attendance cut sharp-
ly by Mother Nature. High wind
and drifting snow in nearby

@ounties caused road closings
while airlines were éorced to
cancel landings at many air-
ports. CSEA first and fourth
vice-presidents Irving Flaumen-
baum and Richard Tarmey, en
route to the meeting, were
stranded at Albany County air-
port, which had closed because
of high cross winds.

Tiiness also took its toll on
Conference attendance. Many

lelegates, including Conference

resident John Adamski, re-

ported sick from a virus infec-
tion that has struck the North-
ern and Western sector of the
State.

Guild urged CSEA members
to utilize field representatives in
their collective bargaining.
“These people are professional
bargainers, they should play an
important role in negotiating
with the chapter team,” he said.

Next two years you're going
to see a lot of strikes by CSEA
groups because the Taylor Law
offers the teeth to the employer
in bargaining, but not to the
employee group that represents
the workers.”

He also urged CSEA negotia-
tors to adopt a tough stance in
bargaining with their employers
and again advised utilization of
the field representative, “He's
Paid to be a negotiator and he

joesn’t have to worry about his

wi: or his relations with his
employer.”

Along the collective bargain-
ing line, E. Norbert Zahm, di-
rector of education for CSEA,
advised negotiators to ‘“nego-
tiate time for a negotiation
seminar,”

“I you get the time and we
get the time, we can develop a
real good program throughout

Fa State,” he said while point-
to a booklet put out by
CSEA, entitled “A Guide to the
Negotiation Process in the Pub-
Me Sector.”

Robert A. Milling, CSEA field
representative from the Buffalo
area, and Joseph Dolan, direc-
tor of local government affairs,
also spoke briefly at the work-
shop session,

Rosenbaum told both the
forkshop and the Conference
‘bout three plans that improve

CSEA Tells Mental

Hygiene Dept.

: ‘Give Us

Career Ladder Now!

ALBANY—The Civil Service Employees Assn. 1s now
awaiting a decision from a hearing held last week by the
State Office of Employee Relations concerning the contro-
versial patient-care career ladder for Mental Hygiene em-

ployees in ward service titles.
CSEA, meanwhile turned down
@ request from director of em-
ployee relations Abe Lavine to
continue talks on the career lad-
der instead of pursuing the
grievance, citing the State's ap-
parent unwillingness to recog-
nize on-the-job experience as a
valid criterion for promotion, a
provision detailed in a memo-
randum of agreement signed by
the two parties and having the
same legal force as a contract.
The hearing ensued from a
fourth-stage contract grievance
filed by CSEA recently, in which
the Employees Association
charged that the State refused to

continually ignored our memo-

retirement and death benefits.

Two segments affect retire-
ment, one allowing a World War
I veteran to buy back his mili-
tary service at the salary rate
at which he started to work, the
other allowing employees to ac-
cumulate up to 165 days sick
days for transfer to retirement
days.

The new death benefit plan,
he explained, provides $20,000 or
one month’s pay for every year
worked, whichever is greater.

The veteran's “buy back” re-
tirement time plan expires in
March, Rosenbaum sald. “Gen-

erally, if a worker was hired be-
fore 1960, it will be beneficial to

“the future similarly depends on
us meriting State support.”

In speaking of the economic
cuts now under way by Govern-
ment, Murphy recalled a thought
of his predecessor, Dr. James T.
Grace, that “Given the choice
of landing a man on the moon
for more space exploration or
saving a child from leukemia,
I'd never look upward.”

Frank G. Talomie of Ontario
County was chairman of both
the County Workshop and the
Conference and was toastmaster
for the evening affair.

Among the guests attending
the sessions was CSEA Statewide
president Theodore Wehzl, who
was strong in his comments on

CSEA secretary Dorothy MacTavish table-hops to visit her
fellow officers and their wives during the Western Con-
ference meeting. At left are Mr. and Mrs. George DeLong,

Murphy capped off the eve-
ning’s formal events with an ex-
planation of the State’s Roswell
Park Memorial Institute, the
host chapter of the Conference
meeting.

Dr, Roswell Park of Buffalo
was founder of the Institute,
with the help of Edward Butler,
@ newspaper publisher, Murphy
explained.

He read excerpts of a letter

ciate in 1903, Sir William Osler,
who called Roswell “‘on the right

force.”

‘CSEA had initiated its protest
last May to acting president Dr.
Allan Kuusisto, and reiterated its
demands to his successor, Dr.
Louis Benezet, early this month.

“The danger to untrained em-
Ployees in being assigned to
search for bombs in the past is
obvious,” Burch said. “Now
CSEA is satisfied that only those
employees who volunteer to
search for explosive devices will
be assigned to that duty. And
those employees will be spec-
ially trained so that the risk
to their lives and safety is mini-
mal. CSEA is heartened to know
that the State University ad-
ministration has agreed to our
demands in this all-important
matter.”

Buffalo Chapter Hears
CSEA’s Legal Program
Discussed At Meeting

(From Leader Correspondent)
BUFFALO—The legal benefits available to Civil Service
Employees Assn. members was explained recently in a meet-
ing of the CSEA’s Buffalo chapter.
Abraham Kranker, chairman of the CSEA legal commit-

tee; Maurice Rosen, Chairman
of the State grievance commit-
tee, and Charles R. Sandler, one
of 21 regional attorneys in the
State, explained the members’
rights in a panel session mod-
erated by Celeste Rosenkranz,
who was subbing for Fred Hub-
er, chapter president, who was
ill.

Sandler, a CSEA attorney for
22 years, pointed out to the
more than 100 members at the
meeting the role of the regional
attorney in the CSEA’s legal
program.

Any employee confronted with
disciplinary action is entitled to
his choice of legal counsel paid
for by CSEA, Sandler observed.

Likewise, he said, any CSEA
member who brings a grievance
vo the Appellate level also is
entitled to legal counsel. How-
ever, Sandler said, the regional
attorney is selected because of his
bacxground, in most cases,

Kranker explained how the
CSEA decides on a Statewide
basis if a member comes under
the legal protection of the CSEA
program.

A member of the State Attor-
ney General's staff, Kranker
gave an overall view of the en-
tire program Statewide.

Rosen explained what con-
stitutes a grievance. He advised
Usteners to contact their chapter
officers and @ield representatives
when a grievance matter first
arises,

In other business, an appeal
was made for assistance for Wil-
liam K. Baumker, a Labor Dept.

constant worry that they may
soon be the next victim of an
assault or be trapped by a fire
or be involved in some other act
of violence similar to those that
have occurred recently at Brook-
lyn State Hospital and others in
the Metropolitan area.

“With only a-handful of men
responsible €or the safety and
security of many thousands of
employees and patients, it is
only a matter of time before a
truly regrettable catastrophe oc-
curs, CSEA wants to prevent
this.”

Such a machine can be ob-

this objective. They must be
