BULLETIN

ALBANY—State employees will receive at
least $1,400 in salary increases during the
next 12 months, according to tentative
agreement reached April 17, a few hours
before the strike deadline.

‘The two-year pact provides for a 5 percent ($500
minimum) increase retroactive to April 1, another
4 percent ($400 minimum) Oct. 1 and additional
5 percent ($500 minimum) next April 1.

Those who are entitled to increments will re-
ceived them also in each year of the contract.

Examples of percentage increases for those
making less than $10,000 are: Grade 3, 24 percent
without increments, 33 percent with increments;
Grade 5 22 percent without, 31 percent with;
Grade 7, 19 percent without, 29 percent with, and
Grade 9, 17 percent without, 26 percent with.

In dollars, this translates to: Grade 3, $1,400
without increments, $1,950 with increments; Grade
5, $1,400 without, $2,010 with; Grade 7, $1,400
without, $2,064 with, and Grade 9, $1,400 without,
$2,124 with.

Higher grades, currently paying $10,000 or more,
will be increased in proportion to the 14 percent
schedule. Thus, someone at Grade 14 will receive
$1,636 without increments, $2,536 with increments;
Grade 18, 2,042 without, $3,126 with, and Grade
23, $2,687 without, $4,033 with.

In addition, it will be possible to increase sal-
aries by an additional 2 percent through a pro-
vision to buy back up to five days’ vacation time.

Other provisions of the settlement will be ex-
plained in next week's Leader.

Ratification ballots will be mailed soon.

75% Public Support Strike In Leader Poll

By JANE BERNSTEIN

MANHATTAN—Public sentiment seems to be
running in favor of a strike by state workers this
time around. Out of those polled, approximately
75 percent supported the employees.

A random sampling of workers and residents
in New York City indicates there are feelings that
the New York State employee has been backed
against the wall.

strike,” said one high school student. “And I es-
pecially support this particular strike because
these people have not had raises in such a long
time and the cost of living has gone up.”

A private college English teacher said she
thinks state workers get too much in the way
of fringe benefits, and was surprised to learn
that these benefits are almost identical to most
in the private sector. However, she supports the
strike because she does not think the salaries are

are low,

comparable to those in the private sector, and she
believes every worker deserves decent wages.

“I’m not in favor of any kind of strike by
workers,” said one saleswoman. “But I suppose
if they have no other choice and their salaries
I'd have to go along with them.”

A dissenting viewpoint about the walkout
was contributed by a baked goods deliverer.
He merely grunted, “All civil servants are lazy
and they don’t deserve any more money.”

Strike: How It Came To This,
Or, The Change In Gov. Carey

By KENNETH SCHEPT

MANHATTAN—In October 1974, HughCarey, then candidate for Governor of New
York State, is invited to speak before the delegates of the Civil Service Employees Assn.
gathered for their annual convention at the Concord Hotel, Kiamesha Lake. Three years
later, after a bitter contract dispute with the Carey administration, delegates meeting at

the same hotel vote to close down
New York State on April 18, 1977.

What happened?

Mr. Carey said to the conven-
tion in 1974;

5 T hope the day will come

when New York State will be

known more for the quality of
its Taylor Wines than the
severity of its Taylor Laws,

I want to thank you for what

you've given to New York. I

ask you now to give me a

chance, . .”

What happened, according to
the CSEA, is that the Governor
was given a chance, but the pub-
lic employees were not. In De-
cember 1974, before Carey's in-
auguration, the CSEA negotiators
were busy preparing to meet
with the new administration. At
about the same time, the New
York Court of Appeals upheld
Taylor Law procedures for dis-
ciplining employees who had
participated in a 1972 contract
Job action.

Governor Carey's State of the
State address in 1975 expressed
the need for austerity in state
spending. Theodore C. Wenzl,
CSEA president, wrote a letter
to all members, “I'm going to be
blunt,” he began. “Public em-
ployees in New York State are

facing a grave crisis. The job you
hold today may be gone tomor-
row. " On March 18, 1975,
35,000 CSEA demonstrators des-
cended on Albany. According to
the Leader correspondent, “Gov.
Hugh Carey had a bad day after
St. Patrick’s Day.”

Both the State and the Union
agreed to fact-finding and by
eariy April the first hearing had
been held. The CSEA accepted
the 6 percent increase recom-
mendation of the panel: the Gov-
ernor rejected it. By June the
matter was before a legislative
hearing.

‘The legislative committee of-

fered a one-time $250 bonus. Bal-
lots were mailed to the member-
ship to determine if there was
support for a strike, or for ac-
cepting the offer. A strike was
narrowly voted down and the
bonus was accepted.

The rest is recent history, still
unfolding:

an editorial rebuttal condemning

preparation culminated with a
regional rally held Friday night

about 1,500 CSEA members.
Metropolitan Regien I

“Support for the strike in
Metropolitan Region II runs be-
tween 65 and 90 percent,” said
public relations specialist Ran-
dolph Jacobs, commenting on
the sentiment expressed at a
regional presidents meeting held
last week.

Other meetings were planned
in White Plains and at Creed-
moor Psychiatric Center, with a
mass regionwide rally held on
Priday. Region president Solo-
mon Bendet urged the full sup-
port of all locals, Signs were
printed and distributed reading
“state employees on strike,
Please do not cross picket line.”

Students from SUC at New
Paltz in Southern Region IT an-
nounced thelr support of the
CSEA strike. Meetings were held
by most locals, including: Hud-
son Psychiatric Center, Pough-
keepsie, Wassatc Developmental
Center, Middletown Psychiatric
Center, the Department of
‘Transportation and Greenhaven
Correctional Facility. The last
two locals took out ads in Pough.
keepsie Journal at the local’s
expense, requesting public sup-
port for the strike. “Everyone
is working 100 percent,” region
president James Lennon said. “It
should be a successful strike.”

NO DMH REORGANIZATION THIS YEAR

Two influential Republican state senators, Frank Padavan,
chairman of the Senate Committee on Mental Hygiene and Addiction
Control, and Dale M. Volker, Chairman of the Alcoholism Subcom-
mittee, have indicated that Gov. Hugh Carey's proposal for the re-
organization of the Department of Mental Hygiene probably will
not be approved by the State Legislature this year, The Governor's
plan would split DMH into three autonomous offices: for Mental
Health; Mental Retardation and Developmental Disabilities, and
Alcoholism and Drug Abuse. Mr. Volker said that his committee
has encountered 5 percent opposition to Carey's plan. Much of
that force has come from critics of the proposal to merge DMH's
Alcoholism Division into the office with Drug Abuse.

Job security is at stake. We would

management would like. Your
dues are paying for your pro-

would have no protection.

“So just think about it! We,
the officers, may make decisions
at times in which you are not
in agreement with, but when
we are called upon to protect
you and your job, and when the
results are in your favor, all of
our objectives have been met.”

FRIDAY, APRIL 22, 1977

Putting It On The Line

\URPRISE!

Governor Carey certainly did not expect to be forced
back to the negotiating table with representatives of the
Civil Service Employees Assn. last week. Not after he had
thrown them a bone he thought the state workers could not
resist in their hunger. But when the union showed that it
needed more than a pacifier to gnaw on, the Governor began
to dig around for some honest-to-goodness crumbs.

That should have been enough. Public employees are
not supposed to strike, They are thought to be mild people
who choose the civil service for reasons of security. When
confronted with difficult bargaining situations they are
supposed to roll over and play dead, good dogs that they are,
or maybe accept a $250 bonus and promise to be on their
best behavior.

Surprise!

The state workers have come a long way. It has not
been easy. When candidate Hugh Carey addressed the state-
wide convention three years ago, looking for votes, he spoke
against the Taylor Law and for the betterment of the life
of the state's civil servants. After the election he seemed to
change his mind. CSEA members have suffered from Carey's
fickleness ever since; but no more.

‘The union forced the Governor back to the bargaining
table prior to the April 18 deadline because the Adminis-
tration took the strike threat seriously. The threat was taken
seriously for good reason: The membership learned the hard
way over the past several years but it learned well.

Without exception the union’s six regions enthusiastic-
ally and with great solidarity prepared for a strike. Their
preparations had the effect of forcing the Governor to bar-
gain because the preparations were for real: not a ruse to
get back to the table, but detailed plans for picketing on the
street—for closing down New York State.

And as a result, victory would be more than food on the
table—although that perhaps is more than enough: Victory
is also the leap of self-respect earned by the union and each
individual member in taking responsibility for what had to
be done, putting it all on the line, and blowing every last
myth about the mild security-minded people who work in
New York's civil service. (K.A.8.)

evenutally, Can he get social
security disability benefits?

A. The key factor in your bro-
ther’s case is how long he is
disabled. If it will be 12 months
or more from the time he be-
comes disabled and when he can
get back to work, and he follows
prescribed medical treatment, he
may be eligible for social security
disability benefits for part of

that period. He should contact

his nearest social security office
for more information,

Q. I get SSI checks, What in-
come must I report?

A. You must report all changes

in income (except general s0-
cial security benefit increases)
promptly to your social security
office. This includes income from
work and all other sources. The
amount of your SSI check is
based on how much money you
have coming in: if the amount
goes down, you may get a big-
ger SSI check; if your income
goes up, you may get less SSI

Deane, Carey ‘Split
Signalled By Cuomo
NYC Mayor Entry

The prospective candidacy
of Secretary of State Mario
Cuomo for the Democratic

nomination for Mayor of
New York City portends substan-
tial and long-range changes in
the party structure at both the
state and city levels. The evid-
ence clearly points to the fact
that Cuomo Js the candidate fav-
ored by Gov. Hugh Carey. Indeed,
Cuomo would not even consider
making the race were it not for
the persistent urging and en-
couragement of the Governor.

‘The unfolding situation heralds
a definite split between the Gov-
ernor and Mayor Beame, a split
that will have widespread reper-
cussions within the political
structure of the party.

Patronage Power

In the preliminary political
sparring {t had been assumed
that Beame could safely rely on
the support of the Democratic
regular organizations in Brook-
lyn, Queens, Bronx and Staten
Island. In Manhattan, the regu-
jar Democratic clubs are largely
an frrelevant factor.

Patronage in the hands of the
Mayor seemed to guarantee that
prospect. However, with Cuomo
in the picture, that resource in
the hands of the Mayor can be
neutralized by the patronage
powers of the Governor. Carey's
influence could prove to be per-
suasive in Brooklyn, an organiza-
tion to which both he and Beame
have enduring tles of many years
duration,

Political leaders will be obliged
to make extremely difficult de-
cisions when confronted with a
choice between the Mayor and
the Governor, The results of the
Primary will leave many cas-
ualties in its wake, among lead-
ers who made the wrong choice.

The reform element in the
Democratic Party has a some-
what different problem, By and
large there has been virtually
no disposition among the reform-
ers to support Beame, However,
the reformers are badly split
among those who favor Man-
hatian Borough President Percy
Sutton, Congressman Edward J.
Koch and Edward Costikyan, or
possibly Congressman Herman
Badillo and former Representa-
tive Bella Abzug should they fi-
nally decide to enter into the
Mayoralty sweepstakes.

In the Democratic primary for
Governor three years ago, Carey
had relatively little support
among the reform Democrats.
By and large they supported his
opponent, Howard Samuels, How-
ever, over the course of the years,
reformers have demonstrated the
infinite capacity of barnacles to
attach themselves and cling to a
Political winner, In light of this
capacity, it is not unlikely that
many, reform elements will
swing behind the Cuomo can-
didacy

‘a Law & You

By RICHARD GABA
Mr, Gaba is a member of the New York Bar and Chairman
of the Nassau County Bar Association Labor Law Committee.

No Contract, No Duty To Arbitrate

A registered nurse employed by St, Elizabeth Hospital
was discharged from her position. It was alleged that she
violated certain hospital procedures relating to the identi-
fication of new-born infants. The nurse was a member of a
union which had exclusive bargaining rights for registered
nurses employed by this hospital. A collective bargaining
agreement was entered into in 1972 setting forth certain
grievance procedures that ended in binding arbitration. The
contract specified that notice of intention to modify the
agreement was the equivalent of a notice of intention to
terminate that agreement. In 1973, the union sent a notice
of intention to modify the agreement to the hospital pur-
suant to the termination clause contained in the agreement.
Accordingly, the court pointed out, that the contract expired
on September 14, 1973. The dispute in question concerning
the discharge of the nurse arose subsequent to the expiration
of the agreement,

The nurse maintained that the hospital ts bound to
arbitrate on the grounds that all other terms and conditions
of employment have been followed since termination.

. . .

IN DENYING THE MOTION to compel arbitration on
appeal, the Appellate Division, Fourth Department, held that
the duty to arbitrate is founded solely upon an agreement
to do so. Without such agreement or a provision in the ex-
pired contract to extend its terms until a new contract Is
entered into, the hospital could not be directed to arbitrate.
The petitioner nurse pointed out that the duty to arbitrate
@ dispute arising during the term of an agreement survives
the expiration thereof. However, that was not the case here.
Under these circumstances, since the grievance arose at a
time when there was no contract in effect, therefore the
employer hospital had no duty to arbitrate. Jennings y. St.
Elizabeth, 387 N.Y.8. 2d 327.

AN OPINION of the New York State Comptroller issued
in 1976 provides that where a municipality has not adopted
any plan which provides for a conversion of employees’ ac-
crued vacations into cash upon separation from service, un-
less there is a rule limiting the maximum accrual, the muni-
cipality cannot refuse to pay the employee for all such credit
when the employee is dismissed without having had the
opportunity to use up his vacation _ prior to discharge. Op.

Social Security Discrimination

The problem of determining rights for women under
Social Security has so many facets that congressmen have
been debating for several years on the subject. Here is one
feminist point of view that illustrates some of the aspects:

Is the social security system
equal for men and women? Ask
any liberal lawyers like those in
the ACLU whether there is sex
discrimination in social security
law, and you will be told, “yes.”
It discriminates against men, be-
cause women are assumed to be
dependents and receive benefits
automatically, which are difficult
for men to obtain. This was the
essence of the recent Wiesenfeld
case, in which the Supreme Court
struck down a gender-based dis-
tinction on survivor benefits last
March. Widowers can now receive
benefits on the same basis as
widows, The ACLU, which fought
the case as part of its “women’s
rights program,” argued that ben-
efits to widowers, without having
to prove dependency, give the
same value to her work as his.
Benefits to a woman after she is
dead, of course, are meager com-
pensation. We have been enjoy-
ing ple in the sky a long time
now. What we need is a little
bread and butter here on earth.
However, egalitarian lawyers,
mostly men, are quick to see in-
equities when it is a question of
extending some protection pro-
vided for women to males, but
are less sharp in observing the
fundamental inequalities which
remain. In fact, to see the social
security system as discriminatory
toward men is to view the law, as
Anatole France described it, in its
majestic impartiality that pro-
hibits the rich and poor alike
from sleeping under bridges.

But, nevertheless, that Wiesen-
feld decision was a very signifi-
cant one, Justice Brennan's opin-
jon spoke of “archaic” generaliz-
ations not tolerated under the
Constitution, which assume a‘man
supports the family and woman's
earnings are not vital to its sup-
port. The decision practically
mandated Congress to take a new
look at social security law. Since
Congress is still overwhelmingly
male, it behooves women to get
some input in there while we can.
With this in mind, here is a fem-
inist viewpoint.

A feminist critique of social se-
curity. Since the purpose of social

it must be judged by its results.
Or in equal opportunity parlance,
what is the impact of this, our
key retirement plan, upon the
economic welfare of a majority
of our citizens? I emphasive ma-

... Committee Names Region's Candidates °

By KENNETH SCHEPT

MANHATTAN—The potential strike and the election of
officers were the main matters of business at the Metro-
politan Region II meeting held last month at Feathers
Restaurant.

Region president Solomon Bendet outlined his feeling
that a job action was the only alternative to the treatment
that Civil Service Employees Assn. was receiving from the
Governor. He appoined a contingency committee to survey
the membership regarding a strike.

Robert Keeler, president of the Downstate Medical Cen-
ter Local, followed with an angry condemnation of the Gov-
ernor and a call to unify in a strike.

The meeting was held prior to the statewide convention
at Kiamesha Lake, where a strike vote was ratified by the
delegates, including the provision that no one return to
work until amnesty is granted for all.

Candidates for regional office were announced by Anne
Wadas, chairman of the nominating committee, Those run-
ning are: for president, Solomon Bendet, Vincent Rubano
and Ronnie Smith; for first vice-president, William DeMar-
tino and Jimmy Gripper; for second vice-president, Dorothy
King, Gennaro Fischetti and Canute Bernard; for third
vice-president, William Cunningham, Thomas DiNatale and
Barry Markman; for treasurer, John Eversley and Martin
Esposito, and for secretary, Edna Percoco Aponte and Mar-
garet Clark.

Regional candidates for Mental Hygiene directors are
Jo Ann Polistena Morello, Jimmy Gripper, Charles Wade,
Barry Markman, Felton King, George Boncoraglio, Ronnie
Smith, Patrick Fraser, and Dorothy King. The three last-
named are among the four incumbents.

Nominating committee members along with Ms. Wadas
were co-chairman Irene Hillis, secretary Joe D'Amore, Mar-
tha Owens, Jack Weisz, Robert Sage, Sal Butero, Tom Perl-
man, Francis Debose, and Sam Emmett

In recent weeks, the region has been busy with its strike
preparations. Theodore C. Wenzl, president of the CSEA,
spoke to a large group of Region II members during a lunch
time gathering in a state meeting room at the World Trade
Center.

He answered questions and conveyed the support of
the statewide leadership, Vincent Rubano, regional first vice-
president, William DeMartino, regional second vice-presi-
dent, and other leaders spoke to the membership.

A weekend demonstration was held in front of the
Staten Island home of Senator John Marchi, co-chairman
of the ad hoc legislative committee set up to review the
contract dispute between the state and the CSEA. The group
was protesting the reluctance of the legislators to cut short
their recess and return to Albany for hearings.

Barry Markman, political action chairman of the region,
was invited to speak with Mr. Marchi. He reported that the
results of that encounter were not reassuring. Mr. Marchi
reportedly maintained that the difficulty between the
union and the state could be resolved only by the Governor.

At a presidents’ meeting toward the middle of the week,
leaders estimated that the strike support in the region ran
from 65 to 90 percent. There were groups less enthusiastic
about the strike, but in general, the feeling was very op-
timistic: if it came to a strike, Region II would be well rep-
resented on the picket lines.

Speaking at a regional rally Friday, Mr. Bendet said,
“In 50 years I have not seen state workers so determined.”

Carey Provoked Strike
Situation: Flaumenbaum

HAUPPAUGE—Irving Flaumenbaum, president of the
Long Island Region of the Civil Service Employees Assn.,
delivered a rebuttal to a WCBS radio editorial last week and
charged that Gov. Hugh Carey deliberately provoked a strike

by state employees.

Real Estate “You must bargain in good
faith . .. but what can the union
do when the head of govern-

restored neoid; SPomneiney Vil ment, as part of a deliberately
lage, Winterined for year calculated political strategy, de-

Mberately provokes a strike?” Mr,
Flaumenbaum asked in the edi-
torial rebuttal.

Mr. Fiaumenbaum had de-
manded equal time after the sta-
tion condemned strikes by pub-
lic employees in commenting on
the end of a walkout by prison
guards in Connecticut. The sta-
tion's comments on public em-
ployee strikes in general had a
bearing on the CSEA situation
in New York State.

“We bargained in good faith,
and we have been laughed at by
the employer,” Mr, Fiaumen-
baum said in appealing for pub-
Me sympathy for the planned
strike.

The rebuttal was aired six
times during the day and car-
ried throughout the metropoli-
tan area.

be the nation’s first capital,
New York State ranks 30th in

Highest Interest Paid In State’s Retirement Fund

ALBANY—The maximum
rate of interest permitted by
law, 5 percent, has been cred-
ited to the annuity savings

Capital Region
Ready For 18th

ALBANY — “The Capital
Region is tight, ready to go
on the 18th.” With these
words, Capital Region Civil
Service president Joseph E. Mc-
Dermott began the first in a
long series of local meetings of
Region Iv.

“The Capital Region, which
surrounds the capital city of the
state, is prepared to bring the
message of public employee anger
with the Carey Administration to
the very doors of the Capitol and
the Governor's Mansion,” field
supervisor Jack Corcoran stated
as he addressed a strong suppor-
tive group of union members
earlier this month,

“You know, ladies and gentle-
men, that somebody is this room
is going to call management
after this meeting is over and
tell them what {s going on. When
that person makes that call,
make sure you give management
the truth. I'll even give the per-
son the dime for the call,” Mr.
Corcoran quipped.

Week Honors
Secretaries

NORTH VALLEY STREAM
—The week of April 24-30
has been designated as “Sec-
retaries Week” by the Na-
tional Secretaries Association
(International) .

The aims and activities of the
NSA are directed toward elevat-
ing secretarial standards by
means of continuing education;
fostering programs for personal
and professional growth and de-
velopment; assuming the role of
spokes-authority for the secre-
tarial profession; and forecast-
ing changing directions, trends,
and requirements that affect of-
fice practices.

‘The purpose of “Secretaries
Week" is to acknowledge the
contributions of all secretaries to
the vital roles of business, indus-
try, education, and the profes-
sions.

Labor Relations Rep.

ALBANY—An associate agen-
cy labor relations representatives
eligible list, resulting from pro-
motional exam 39-181, was estab-

‘The rate, which is based on
the systems’ investment perform-

Mr. Levitt emphasized that al-

as many as 425 tickets a day
were issued. On April 6, the num-
ber dropped off to 154. Cpl. Mar-
vin Hankson, vice-president of the
wheriff's unit of the CSEA, said
the decrease probably was due to
more caution among drivers.

“It's likely nobody gives a
damn,” said one angry deputy.

Chenango Workshop
Briefed On Tactics

For A Strong Union

(From Leader Correspondent)

NORWICH—A Chenango County employees unit work-
shop March 19 heard Region V field staff representative
Terry Moxley say that the Civil Service Employees Assn
is the most democratically structured union in the country.

But, he warned, the danger in
a democracy is that if the rank
and file do not participate by
backing up their officers and
serving on committees, the pow-
er will end up in a few hands.

Mr. Moxley said that “we don't
have a serious problem” in Re-
gion V, but he urged members
not to take their union responsi-
bilities lightly

ficer who gets no help from you

the members," he said, “will
get out.”

He urged the various Local
representa’ present “to es-
tablish an avenue directly to

your member
questions ar

“Logic a telligence mean

age and power to deal with him
and it behooves you to support

Mr. Mox iso pounded home
the impor of political ac-
tion, citing as an “extremely
effective tc the local level
Politicians mber the work-
ers and organizers—even if you
fought harc the ‘other’ side,”

he said

“An organized minority will be
heard," he “and politicians
will take of the person
or persons who can hurt or help
them the most.”

SUNY At Buffalo
Nominations Open

BUFPALO—Civil Service Em-
ployees Assn, Local 602, SUNY
at Buffalo, is accepting nomina-
ons for the following offices
president, first vice-president,
second vice-president, third vice-
president, fourth vice-president,
recording secretary and treasurer

Two representatives from each
of the four statewide Bargaining
Units also require nominations,
as do delegate and alternate dele-
wate positions.

Anyone interested in being
nominated, should send a brief

inating committee, Box 16, Hayes

Chuck McGeary, Region V pub-
He relations specialist, told par-
ticipants how he could help them
publicize newsworthy events and
what equipment and services
were available to members at
the regional headquarters in
Syracuse.

Mr, McGeary stressed the im-
portant services rendered by the
regional research man, Bill
Frame: how he helps the field
representatives in various nego-

tiation comparisons. “If Bill
can't get an answer for you.
he'll call Albany and get it,”
Mr. McGeary said.

"Try to get your Locals more
active in the community,” he
said. “Show your community you
ci about the schools and all

the other important issues. And

use the media to get out the
message that you care," he
added.

He urged the members to get
to work to dispel the popular
myth that CSEA members are
overpaid and underworked, that
they lean on shovels and work
four hours a day with 30-minute
coffee breaks.

Grievance Filing

Fielding questions on PERB
and its relationship to the
CSEA, Mr, Moxley said that
PERB has degenerated into an
arm of the government and is
“devoid of impartiality,”

It is important, if not vital,
Mr. Moxley told the group, that
you file grievances when you
know a contract has been vio-
lated. “My experience has been,”
he said, “that they (manage-
ment) don’t like being taken all
the way to binding arbitration,
and that after they'va been
down that road once or twice,
you'll see a definite change in
their attitude.

“They don't like being exposed.”
he said, with reference to cross-
examination on the hearing
stand,

“And understand the time lim-
its of the various steps in the
grievance procedure,” Mr. Mox-
ley emphasized, “so that you
don't lose one because you've
missed a deadline Management
is spending large sums of money
educating its attorneys in the
tricks of the trade,” he said, “so
we have to be sharp,”

tors Assn.
