Wednesday, April 22, 1981

covers school workers

ALBANY — The State Department of Labor is
putting all occupational safety and health com-
plaints from school district employees ‘‘on
hold,”’ and CSEA is demanding these complaints
be handled immediately.

‘*We’ve learned that although the Occupational
Safety and Health Act (OSHA) went into effect
Jan. 1, the Labor Department is not in-
vestigating any safety complaints from the
school employees,’’ said Lawrence R. Scanlon,
CSEA’s Coordinator of School District Affairs,
noting that the law gives the Labor Department
Jurisdiction over all alleged safety violations.

“‘We’re outraged,’ CSEA President William L.
McGowan said, ‘‘that the Labor Department is
failing to perform its duties as required under
the OSHA Law to investigate and enforce OSHA
provisions. Our members’ health and safety is
nothing to be trifled with.”

CSEA, which represents more than 30,000 non-
instructional school district employees
throughout the state, was a leader in the battle to
persuade the Legislature and Goy. Hugh L.
Carey to extend federal work safety rules to
public employees in New York.

Both Scanlon and Nels Carson, CSEA’s Safety
Coordinator, are keeping a close watch on the
current violation of OSHA.

“We are demanding the Labor Department
comply with the law,” said Scanlon. ‘‘We have
been in contact with CSEA’s legal firm as a
prelude to instigating legal action, if necessary.”

Scanlon advises any school district employees
who suspects there has been a safety violation at
his or her workplace to continue to notify the
Labor Department, as well as Nels Carson, of
the alleged violation.

Completed applications must be returned to the
appropriate Region Office not later than April 24,
Regional screening committees will review the
applications and make recommendations to CSEA
President William L. McGowan. All participants
selected will be notified by mail of acceptance into
the program.

Urge renewed effort
over court proposal

GOSHEN — The Civil Service Employees Assn. has
issued a renewed call for members to call or write their
State senators and assemblymen to urge defeat of a
proposal to make transcripts of court proceedings
provided by court reporters the property of the State.

Tom Jefferson, chairman of the CSEA Judiciary
Labor/Management Committee, told CSEA-represented
court reporters at a meeting here recently that the
proposal could jeopardize the judicial system. The
proposal, he warned, could impede the availability of
transcripts, hamper justice, be extremely costly and
simply not work. :

CSEA previously went on record as being
“‘vehemently’’ opposed to the bill and labeled it a ‘‘crass
attack by the Office of Court Administration on its
employees and on accepted practice.”

CSEA Judiciary Local 332 President Pat Nealon told
OCA court reporters from Orange, Putnam, Dutchess
and Westchester Counties meeting here to lobby against
the proposal because it’s important that legislators fully
understand how the present system works; why the
proposed change would cost the state more than $30
million annually; that it would mean a loss of income and
investment to the individual court reporters; and that the
proposal would harm the state’s judicial process.
Jefferson urged all union members to contact their
legislators to express opposition to the proposal.

COURT EMPLOYEES LOCAL 332 has been holding meetings throughout Region 3 to discuss the
governor’s proposal to change the system of providing court transcripts. Sharing a lighter moment
about a serious subject at a recent session were, from left, Regional President Ray O’Connor, Local
President Pat Nealon and CSEA Judiciary Board Representative Tom Jefferson.

business meeting.

ALBANY — Major items of interest and concern to the 50,000
members of the Capital Region of CSEA were addressed at the recent
meeting of the Region leadership here.

Region First Vice President Al Mead, who is coordinating the Capital
Region boycott of Nestles products, arranged for a presentation by
Father Brian O’Shaughnessy on the Third World activities of the Nestles
Corporation. ‘‘Nestles is a Swiss-based multi-national corporation with
numerous subsidiaries,” he said. ‘‘It is spending millions of dollars to
overcome the effects of this boycott, while continuing to sell its infant
formula in the Third World. _ Infants are suffering due to Nestles’ desire
to make a profit. Your support of the Nestles boycott is the only weapon
we have against this corporation.’’ Father O'Shaughnessy concluded.

“CSEA played a major part in bringing J.P. Stevens to the bargaining
table,’’ Mead said. ‘“‘CSEA can play a greater role in having a multi-
national corporation realize its responsibilities to its consumers. Nestles
is still selling infants formula to populations who do not have the sanitary
facilities, nor the economic stability to correctly use such products. This
abuse must end.’’ Mead concluded.

CSEA Administrative Director of the Office of Collective Bargaining
Jack ‘Carey addressed the group on the state’s tracking of contract
grievances. Some CSEA leaders present expressed fears that the real
purpose behind the computerization was to cut the union’s effectiveness
at the first and second stage of the procedure where the union is very
effective in having grievances resolved in the member’s favor. Carey ex-
plained that the program is funded by a Federal grant and that no
member’s name is submitted, just information on the type of grievance.

The Capital Region leadership also filled a vacancy on the Regional
Executive Committee: Montgomery County CSEA Local President
William Zippiere was elected to the position.

Otsego contract gets overwhelming support

COOPERSTOWN — Members of Otsego County Local 839 of CSEA recent-

ly voted overwhelmingly to accept a new two-year contract, retroactive to

schedule, and a meal allowance in place of free meals.

Hospitalization for employees will remain the same for 1981. Should the
present plan be changed, further negotiations will be necessary.

An additional contract clause concerns overtime. Employees now have the
option of being paid or receiving time and one-half compensatory time off, at
the discretion of the department head.

In announcing the terms of the agreement, Collective Bargaining
Specialist Kane expressed his appreciation for the cooperation and many hours
of service by the members of the negotiating team, which included: Mabel
Wannamaker, President of Otsego County Local 839, Ben Bebic, Jake Jaquish,
Howard Sloan, Steve Page, Sandy Reynolds, Donna Parish, Tina Gutman,
Elanor Bennett, and John Atwell.

January 1, 1981.

According to Roger Kane, Collective Bargaining Specialist and chief
negotiator for the 400 Otsego County employees represented by CSEA, the new
agreement calls for salary increases of eight per cent, plus increment, each
year.

Other benefits include: An increase in mileage reimbursement to 22 cents
per mile in 1981, and 24 cents per mile in 1982,

A minimum of two hours call out pay is also included in the new contract
language.

Infirmary employees will receive $225 dollars added to their salary

Poughkeepsie at impasse; tired of runaround

POUGHKEEPSIE — ‘'Stone- because you don’t get that way un-

walling is not negotiating, so we're
going into impasse,’’ says the
president of the union representing
200 employees in the City of
Poughkeepsie.

Civil Service Employees
Association (CSEA) President Don
Murphy explained, ‘We're tired of
the runaround which has been go-

ing on since last December, and
ware asking the Public
Employment Relations Board to
step in and appoint a mediator so
we can get off ground zero.”

The union leader criticized Cor-
poration Counsel Richard Cantor
for being, ‘‘too busy with his
private law practice to spend much
time earning the $21,228.29 the city

pays him to work part time,” and
says, ‘When we do meet, he doesn’t
negotiate but simply tells us to
come up with the money to pay
ourselves.

“They keep telling us they don’t
have a dime,” the unit president
continued, ‘‘so we’re asking the
state Department of Aduit and
Control] to audit their books

less there’s been gross mis-
management.””

Murphy concluded, ‘‘Our
negotiating team is just looking for
a decent settlement, but with this
administration we can’t even get
decent talks.”

The contract expired Dec. 31.

Arthritis fund off to good start

MELVILLE — Donations by CSEA members
and others to the Irving Flaumenbaum Memorial
Fellowship Fund for Arthritis Research have
reached a total of $10,000 in the seven months
since the CSEA leader died and are well on the
way toward meeting the Fund’s $25,000 goal, ac-
cording to an official of the Arthritis Foundation.

“We're off to a great start for the $25,000
Fellowship,” said William S. Patterson, of the
Long Island Arthritis Foundation. ‘‘During the
course of the coming year all contributions from
CSEA Locals will be added to the Fellowship.”

The Irving Flaumenbaum Fellowship will be
built up to sponsor arthritis research by a doctor
at the Long Island Jewish Hillside Medical

Center in New Hyde Park, Mr. Patterson said.

The contribution drive within the CSEA is be-
ing led by President William McGowan and
Region One President Danny Donohue who said
the Fellowship will be a “‘living memorial” to
Mr. Flaumenbaum. During his lifetime, Mr.
Flaumenbaum was a member of the New York
Arthritis Foundation’s Board of Directors and
was a tireless fund raiser for the Foundation,
Mr. Donohue said

Both Mr. McGowan and Mr. Donohue
appeared at a Stop Arthritis Telethon last month
where they took phone calls from contributors.
At the telethon, Mr. McGowan announced ad-
vance pledges of $1,500 from CSEA members.

A report from

JERRY WURF
AFSCME President

Whenever a new President takes of-
fice, the Américan people want him to
have the opportunity to try out his
programs. This spring, the people's
warm feelings towards any new
President are enhanced by shock at
the recent assassination attempt and
admiration for the President’s per-
sonal courage.

But we can’t afford to allow the
Reagan Administration to try out its
budget and tax programs as if they
were some kind of an experiment. If
President Reagan’s advisers had pur-
posely set out to devise policies to in-
jure CSEA/AFSCME members, they
would have come up with exactly the
Federal Budget cuts that they're
proposing.

The Administration wants to cut
back federal aid to state and local
governments by 8.5%. After inflation
is taken into account, that’s a slash of
approximately 20%. These cutbacks
will hit hardest at large industrial
states, such as New York State, which
provides a full range of public ser-
vices but suffer from high un-
employment and slow economic
growth.

Federal funds are vitally important
to maintaining CSEA/AFSCME
members’ jobs and the public ser-
vices we provide. Federal aid ac-
counts for ‘22% all the revenues
available to state and
governments in New York to pay for
public services and public employees’
jobs. The Administration's proposed
budget cutbacks will cos w York
State and local governments about $2

THE PUBLIC'SECTOR: Wednesday,

elderly, highway repair, day care,
education, environmental protection,
and much more.

As CSEA/AFSCME activists know
from fighting budget battles at the
state and local levels, New York’s
state and local governments are in no
condition to absorb a federal budget
cutback of $2 billion.

On the state government level,
spending on public services — as ad-
justed for inflation — is already 10%
below the 1975-1976 level. In addition,
Governor Carey is proposing a state
spending limit that will further
restrict public services. Meanwhile,
the Governor is also proposing that
state aid to local governments be
frozen at 1979 levels — a move that
will cost local governments $260
million.

Whether you work for state or local
government, the proposed Federal
Budget cutbacks will hurt you. If the
Administration has its way,
thousands and thousands of
CSEA/AFSCME members will lose
their jobs. If you're lucky enough to
keep your job, you'll have
deteriorating working conditions and
heavier workloads. And think how dif-
ficult it will be to bargain for better
pay, benefits, and working conditions
when our state and local governments

face even more severe budget
problems.
Don’t be fooled by the Ad-

ministration’s promises of tax reduc-
tions. Sure, the wealthy will get a tax
bonanza. A family of four with an in-
come of $100,000 stands to gain $3,343
in tax cuts. But a family of four earn-
ing $15,000 would get only $185 — and
that tax relief will be eaten up just by
the increases in fuel prices and utility
bills: that will be caused: by the Ad-

1981

ministration’s removal of controls
upon oil prices.

For many middle and low income
families, the cuts in public services —
school lunches, education, Medicaid,
day care, mass transit, and others —
will make a mockery of the promise
of tax relief. Of course, tax cuts will
mean nothing at all to public
employees who will lose their jobs
because of the Federal Budget cuts.

That's why CSEA and AFSCME
have launched a coordinated cam-
paign against the Administration’s
budget cuts. We're fighting back
because we can’t afford not to fight
back.

@AFSCME representatives have
been testifying before Congress and
meeting with U.S. Senators and
Representatives. We're working with
the AFL-CIO and with a national
coalition of labor, civil rights, senior
citizens, consumer, and women’s
organizations.

@We're backing up our work in
Washington with a grassroots lobby-
ing effort. AFSCME activists across
the country are writing to their
Senators and Representatives.
Members of Congress are political
animals, and they respond to the
volume of mail they receive. Right
now, the mail is running in favor of
the budget cuts — and we've got to
turn this around, I urge you to take
just five minutes at your next Local
meeting to send letters to Senators
Moynihan and D'Amato and to your
member of the House of Represen-
tatives to urge them to oppose the
budget cuts.

®We believe that Members of
Congress ‘are most likely- to see the

light after we ve held their feet to the

are back home for their Easter
Recess, CSEA and AFSCME are
organizing lobbying visits to U.S.
Representatives. Here in New York
State, we've targeted for special
attention these Representatives from
districts where our union is very
strong: Thomas Downey, Democrat,
Suffolk County; Raymond McGrath,
Republican, Nassau County; Mario

Hamilton Fish, Republican, Dutchess

York; Cary Lee, Republican, Central
New York; Barber Conable,
Republican, Rochester; John

Stan Lundine, Democrat, Jamestown.

® AFSCME is conducting a million-
dollar campaign of television, radio,
and newspaper advertisements
against the Federal Budget cuts. The
TV commercials show a cake being
cut up, with the wealthy getting the
largest slice and working people
getting crumbs. The TV commercials
have been running in New York City,
on Channels 5 and 9, and in
Washington, D.C., and will soon be

the country. ¢

Women’s coalition
focuses on problems,
aspirations of today’s
clerical worker

Secretaries are something else.
That's the slogan being used this week,, April 19-25 — National Secretaries
Week — by a special coalition of women’s and labor groups to salute those in
the secretarial ranks and draw attention to their problems.
The Ad-Hoc Coalition for National Secretaries Week, made up of the AFL-
CIO Department of Professional Employees, the Coalition of Labor Union

Here are some additional facts and figures on the secretarial pop-
ulation in this country, as compiled by Gloria Johnson, Director of
Education and Women’s Activities, International Union of Electrical,
Radio and Machine Workers, AFL-CIO: ;

—Today, 98.6 percent of all secretaries are women. They number 14
million. In 1979, the median annual salary for female clerical workers
was $9,584 — among the lowest in the country and less than the average
wage for every kind of blue collar work.

—Seventy-five percent of all women work out of economic necessity.

—Women made up 80 percent of all clerical workers in 1979.

—According to a 1979 survey by the National Commission on Working
Women, the major area of job satisfaction among secretaries was the
lack of opportunities for advancement and promotion. Sixty percent of
the women surveyed felt their jobs were dead-ended.

—Many secretaries today are hired with no written job description,
or one which is not reflective of their actual duties, which encompass
editing, writing, making travel arrangements, coordinating meetings,
managing an office and more.

—Today, more and more women office workers are recognizing the
importance of organizing as the key to change. The number of women
belonging to unions in the U.S. increased from 3.9 million in 1968 to 6.9
million in 1979.

—On the average, weekly earnings of organized women are nearly 30
percent more than those of unorganized women in all industries.

According to Coalition spokeswomen Dorothy Spears and Joan King, these
women are not ‘‘just’’ secretaries, but “people with job aspirations and job-
related needs such as better pay, security, training and retirement benefits.”

CSEA’s clerical workforce, which includes typists, stenographers, clerks,
dictating machine transcribers and others performing chores usually
associated with secretaries, are clustered in the Administrative Services Unit.
This bargaining unit is made up of about 38,000 workers, about 85 percent of
whom are women.

“Unfortunately, secretaries receive neither the recognition nor the wages
they deserve,” says Johnson. ‘‘This year, millions of bosses will take their
secretaries out for expensive lunches, buy them boxes of candy or send them
flowers. But when the flowers wilt and the candy boxes are empty, those
secretaries, all too often, will still be stuck in dead-end, low-paying jobs.”

Women and the National Commission on Working Women, aims to spotlight the
20 million women office workers in the U.S. as heads of households and as in-
dividuals with career objectives.

‘threaten our safety and future’ |

BUFFALO — The importance of workers’
|| safety and health rights and the potential danger
) of the dismantling of the federal OSHA ap-

paratus was brought home to an audience
attending the WNYCOSH Winter Conference by
Region 6 President Robert Lattimer.
i Speaking to a gathering representing over 45
* unions in the western portion of New York,
Lattimer pointed out the ‘‘hatchet-style” approach
to many federal programs that is emerging as
predicted from the Reagan administration.

“The hard-fought gains the American labor
movement has won over a long period of struggle
could be wiped out in the single stroke of a pen
unless we let our representatives in Washington
know that we won't stand for some of these
meat-axe cuts that threaten our safety and
future,’’ Lattimer warned.

“The impact of ‘cut-at-any-cost’ will affect us
all, whether we’re members of private or public
unions, ‘‘Lattimer continued, and the impor-
tance of our united voices won't be as easily

overlooked or dismissed if we're together in our
stands on these vital issues.”

The third annual Winter Conference of the
Western New York Council on Safety and Health
(WNYCOSH) was attended by a large number of
CSEA Western Region members and was
pronounced a ‘‘great success’ by labor attorney
and WNYCOSH Executive Director Lee Smith.
“It's important that we continue to address
OSHA concerns because they directly affect our
very lives,’’ he said.

Newkirk Youth Club is
teaching children to
Lmold their character

By Richard Chernela

NEW YORK CITY — A group of children sits quietly, listening attentively
to a woman at the front of the room. She is discussing the front page of a news-
paper she holds in her hands. She asks: ‘‘What does the abbreviation ‘Condo’ on
the front page of the newspaper stand for?’’ Five hands spring into the air, one
with such force and excitement that the hand seems to yank the rest of the
boy’s body from his chair. The woman calls on a 12-year-old boy who proudly
says, ‘‘Condominium!”’

A junior high school classroom? No. It’s the Newkirk Youth Club in
Brooklyn, on a sunny Saturday afternoon.

The Newkirk Youth Club was founded and is run by Sam and Millicent
Patrick. Millicent, a clerk with the State Department of Tax & Finance, is a
member of New York City CSEA Local 010. Her husband, known to his friends
as Pat, is a fellow AFSCME member, with District Council 37’s Local 1597.

“We formally started the club two and a half years ago,”’ Millicent said.
“But we've always enjoyed working with children. Pat started things going in-
formally by taking a couple of children bowling.”’

According to Millicent, the club took off quickly. Pat organized different

cared.
Pr “We soon had the makings of a real club,’’ Millicent said.
The club met in the Patrick’s living room, but, as membership grew, new
quarters were needed.

‘We asked the Andrew Jackson Democratic Club if we could use their
storefront for our meetings,’’ she said. “‘Since the Democratic Club meets only
once a week, they were kind enough to let us use their facility.”

According to Sam Patrick, the goals of the Newkirk Youth Club are to
prevent school drop-outs, to cut down on crime, and ‘‘to show affection and
love for children, many of whom are fatherless.””

“People criticize children all the time,” Pat said. ‘But very few people
'@ reach out their hearts to children. Reaching out to them helps make children
better people.”’

The club provides recreational, cultural and educational activities for
children between the ages of eight and fifteen.

“We organize trips to baseball and basketball games, to the beach, to plays
and to museums,” Pat said.

Lucille Williams, the president of the club, leads the discussions at the
general meetings.

“People criticize children all the time. But very few people

“‘We talk about history and current events and provide basic instruction
in grammar, vocabulary, spelling and math,” she said. ‘The children really

doing is to get involved yourself.”
Perhaps more than anything else, the thing that keeps the club going is
@sam Patrick’s memory of his own childhood in rural Georgia.

‘“‘My father abandoned me when I was nine,’’ he said. ‘‘My mother died
when I was twelve. People always helped me when I was young. Today’s
problems for kids are a lot worse than they were when I was growing up. Now
there are many different dangers for kids, like crime and drugs. Children need
older people to help them, to direct them and to help them become better
people.””

The Patricks’ work has not gone unnoticed. In 1979 Pat received an award
from the St. Jerome’s Roman Catholic Church for his summer youth work,
More recently, Brooklyn Borough President Howard Golden presented Pat
with a citation for ‘this devotion to the Newkirk Youth Club (which) has

@brought richness into the lives of many young people.”

The recognition that the club has received means a great deal to the
Patricks, but the feelings of the club’s members mean much more to them.

“‘T joined because I like going places like baseball games with the club,”
club member Daryl] Best said. ‘‘The meetings are good because kids who don’t
do well in school get help, They get a chance to learn if their teachers in school
don’t teach them right.”

ALBANY — ‘‘CSEA is actually a large cor-
poration, and like any corporation it has to have
leaders, managers and advisers. The
management function is where I come in,” ex-
plained CSEA Executive Director Joseph J.
Dolan Jr.

“We're a large concern in terms of budget and
physical plant. So I get involved in day-to-day
concerns with our headquarters building, its
maintenance and proper space utilization, for ex-
ample. A lot goes on here in a given day. I might
go from discussing turnover problems on our
clerical staff with the Personnel Director to dis-
cussing a budget matter with the Comptroller.”’

But while the internal management functions
make demands on the Executive Director’s
time, he also devotes attention to other ‘‘out-
side’ management objectives.

“I spend a fair amount of time with the
President in development of policy as our
programs relate to the membership,’ Dolan
said. “‘Once policies are established, I work
through our management team to make sure the
policies are understood and implemented.”’

But more and more, Dolan works to “‘look at
the larger picture and help the union look to the
future.”

He does this, he explains, by representing the
union in a variety of forums and by working to
keep open effective lines of communication with
such organizations as the New York State
Association of Counties and the New York State
County Executives Association.

“I keep us involved with our counterparts from
the other side of the table at every possible level
and opportunity,’ Dolan said. ‘“‘We explore areas

Dolan also keeps his finger on the pulse of
CSEA by serving as a communications link
between the Regions and headquarters

“We can put together information that we
gather from all over the state until we recognize
a pattern. Then we can develop our position.’’

He cited contracting out as an example.
“We're moving away from the days when we’d
find ourselves on both sides of the issue in two
different counties,’ he said. ‘‘Now we're
attempting to stay ahead of the game and es-
tablish far-reaching policies that will benefit all

He added that there is now another dimension

“Through our communication and contact with
the International staff, we can also draw on their
resources to give us the information and
knowledge we need to make policy decisions.”’

He also points to improvements in statewide
committee procedures, including appointment of
staff coordinators, requirement for advance
agendas, and improvements in communication
with committees.

One of his latest projects is his work aimed at
establishing an integrated data base for CSEA.

“Right now we have hundreds of programs in
our in-house data processing unit. And then, for
example, the Employee Benefit Fund and the in-
surance companies with which we work have still
other data banks,” Dolan explained. “We think we
could develop an integrated system that’s more

WASSAIC — “‘A giant step forward” is how
Local 426 President Harold Ryan described it.

“Letting them know what their obligations and
responsibilities are’ is how CSEA Director of
Education Tom Quimby saw it.

“Training to serve on the front lines’ is how
Field Rep. John Deyo called it.

That ‘‘it’’ was a special shop steward training
program held in March at the sprawling Wassaic
Developmental Center in eastern Dutchess
County.

The shop steward session as a prelude to a uni-
que ‘‘conflict-resolution” program co-sponsored
later in the month by labor and management at
the developmental center.

Tom Quimby and John Deyo conducted the
five-hour program held over two evenings and
directed the stewards in a number of exercises
designed to sharpen their skills. He emphasized
decision making, obligations and respon-
sibilities, and communications, noting, ‘“‘you
work first and foremost on behalf of the
membership and the union.”

Specific exercises included a look at the
general objectives — goals — that guide
stewards in everything they do. Those present
were broken up into smaller groups to look at
four ‘‘job descriptions” to decide which one best
describes a steward’s role.

Three of the groups decided that the
“‘steward’s job is to see that everyone lives up to
the regulations or the provisions of the

If successful, sessions may
be ‘new wave of the future’

WASSAIC — It was a unique everit designed to,
as Region 3 President Ray O’Connor said,” find
a common ground where the circles of labor and
management cross.”

The unique event was also a first for public
employees in New York State, a joint ‘‘conflict
resolution’ program held last month at Wassaic
Developmental Center.

defend you’

agreement.” The other group saw it differently,
deciding, ‘‘the steward’s job is to be the
employee’s defender, handling the employee’s
problems and complaints, right or wrong, good
or bad.”’

Quimby noted both responses were valid, and
in a general discussion heard such comments as,
“it’s my job to defend you,” ‘‘you can’t be a
judge,’’ and ‘‘once management knows we know
the contract, they back down.”’

Another exercise stressed the authority and
responsibility of the steward.

Two test cases were presented, one involving
an employee who makes a regular practice of
leaving work early, and the other with a worker
who has financial problems.

In the first case, the stewards learned not to
act like management but instead to remember
their role on behalf of the union. The course of
action they agreed upon included talking to the
“early leaver’’ to get all the facts, and then
responding accordingly, mindful that the prac-
tice is unfair to co-workers. In the second case,
the stewards quickly agreed that referral to the
Employee Assistance Program was the solution,
a response not altogether surprising at the in-
stitution where EAP got its start. ‘

The AFSCME ‘“‘slide-sound’’ show on “Building
The Union Team”’ was also shown. It presented
problems of the workplace and was followed by a
dicussion on how the shop steward can get people
to work together as a team.

Shop stewards, grievance reprsentatives and
middle management employees participated in
the sessions held during the regular work day.
Also present were CSEA Regional Director
Thomas J. Luposello and Collective Bargaining
Specialist Jase McGraw. Its stated goal, ac-
cording to a policy agreement signed last July,
was to, ‘‘foster the resolution of employee
problems and grievances at the lower level and
to strengthen organizational communication
links, especially those between mid-level super-
visors and their immediate subordinates.”

The program began with ‘‘mission’’
statements. John Deyo, on behalf of the union,
emphasized the rewards of solving conflicts at
the lowest possible level while Ivan Canuteson,
on behalf of management, stressed the need to
work together and not waste time in conflict.

Local 426 President Harold Ryan, for example,
noted that previously, ‘middle management in
different buildings had different interpretations
of the contract.” By applying the principles of
conflict resolution — basic communications —
these discrepancies were resolved. Labor and
management, working together, were able to
resolve conflicts and agree on issues which
previously divided them such as bidding for pass
days, distributing overtime, posting vacancies,
scheduling vacations . . .

The same system that was used to settle those
problems would now be taught to those
assembled.

Various teaching techniques were used, in-
cluding role playing, with a “confrontation”
between labor and management staged. The
Scene was videotaped and later replayed, but
only after small group discussions were held to
check it out. Finally, the original actors using
suggestions made by the group as well as
lessons learned during the program, repeated
the original scene using newly learned techni-
ques. Conflict resolution thus became something
more than just theory, it was seen as practice.

CSEA’s Director of Education Tom Quimby,
who helped plan and conduct the program in con-
cert with Director of Manpower Management
Thomas Zielinski, sees it as a, ‘forerunner of
things to come.’’ It also makes Wassaic
Developmental Center, with its 3,000 state
employees, a unique testing ground for what
ole turn out to be a whole new wave of the
‘uture,

Syosset agreement reached

SYOSSET — A new contract for the 1,100 CSEA-represented employees
of the Town of Oyster Bay has been negotiated according to CSEA Field
Representative Rigo Predonzan.

Predonzan said the two year contract, effective Jan. 1, 1981, includes the
following pay increases:

—Employees not on the graded salary plan will receive bonuses and
salary upgradings of from $700 to $1,100 plus 8.5 percent above the bonuses
and upgradings in the first year and $300 to $375 in bonuses and salary up-
gradings plus 8.5 to 9.5 percent above the bonuses and upgradings in the
second year.

—Employees on the graded salary plan will receive 8.5 percent plus in-
crements in the first year and 8.5 to 9.5 percent plus increments in the

CALL YOUR SENATORS, CONGRESSMAN NOW!

YOU could be the difference between whether or not New York State suffers
the projected loss of intensive federal aid under the proposed 1982 Federal
Budget. If enough people call or write their U.S. Senators and Congressmen
to protest proposals to slash general revenue sharing, CETA, highway
construction funds, mass transit funds, education funds, to name just a few,
the budget cuts proposed could be reduced or eliminated. The names,
mailing addresses, and telephone numbers of New York State Senator and
Congressmen were printed in previous editions of The Public Sector. Now,

with Congress in a holiday adjournment status, most elected officials are in
their home districts instead of Washington. This is an excellent time to
CALL THEM. The names of your Senators and Congressmen are printed

the local district office (DO) addresses and numbers where they are most
likely to be contacted at the present time. CALL YOUR SENATORS AND
