Charges

Union Busting Try
By RPC Officials

ROCHESTER—The Civil Service Employees Assn. is
filing an improper practice charge against the administra-

tion of the Rochester Psychiatric Center,

condemning what

it calls “union busting tactics.”

According to William Crimm,
the president of the CSEA chap-
ter at Rochester PC, the filing
of the charge with the state
Public Employment Relations
Board was precipitated by the
administration's refusal to abide
by decisions rendered in three
contract grievances filed by the
CSEA in which the union was
upheld.

The chapter president said that
the CSEA's charges were con-
firmed in each of the grievances:
one involving out-of-title cleric-
al work being done by a Grade-9

CSEA: No Thruway Strike Try

ALBANY—A vehement de-
nial was issued late last week
by the Civil Service Employ-
ees Assn. that the union had
planned a strike by New York
State Thruway employees to co-

incide with the Labor Day
weekend.
‘The denial was seen a re-

sponse-to a letter sent to Thru-
way workers by Authority offi-
clals which suggested that man-
agement was fearful of a strike
or some other job action by
‘Thruway CSEAers.

A strike would have snarled
the Thruway, especially on a holl-

day like Labor Day, when many
motorists take to the road.

The CSEA and the Thruway
have been involved in lengthy
negotiations in an effort to reach
& contract. The pact would cov-
er 2,200 tol) takers, maintenance
and clerical personnel employed
by the Thruway.

A CSEA spokesman said the
union has backed a voluntary
“work to the rules” action by
toll takers, maintenance em-
ployees and clerical personnel. He
said that if toll takers, for ex-
ample, observed Thruway rules
to the letter, traffic at booths

* Putnam Unit Signs A Contract;
Carries $2,400 Employee Hike

CARMEL—The 400-member Putnam County unit, Civil Service Employees Assn., has
won a three-year contract. The pact includes a raise of approximately $2,400 for the work-
ers over the first two years, and another increase in the third year which will be based on
the Department of Labor's Bureau of Labor Statistics consumer price index.

Details of the implementation
of retroactive payment and of
the formula for the third-year
inerease had not yet been settled
at Leader presstime.

Latest State Eligible Lists

The contract is based on an
award by Publie Employment
Relations Board arbitrator Bert-
mam Kupsinel, who was called

into the case after fruitless nego-
thations between the union and
the county legislature

The Putnam employees had
been working without a contract
since Jan, 1, 1975.

Mr. Kupsinel found not only
that the employees deserved an
increase in pay, but also that
the county must pay an addi-
tional 3 percent penalty to the
union,

The county's Board of Super
visors then passed a resolution

would be appreciably slowed at
all points along the Thruway.

“Contrary to what manaj
ment strongly hinted, we had

no intention of striking the
Thruway over the Labor Day
weekend,” the CSEA spokesman

said. “But delays did develop
for motorists entering and exit-
ing toll booths all along the
Thruway over this long weekend.

“But the real problem ts that
the Thruway workforce is under-
staffed to begin with, and the
Thruway management js not fill-
ing vacancies, even though rev-
enues were up more than §7.2
million the first six months of
this year alone.”

The CSEA spokesman said the
Thruway management had noti-
fied all employees to be available
for overtime work assignments
on Labor Day weekend, even
though overtime is on a strict-
ly volunteer basis.

Any absences, the notice said,
due to illness, would require a
doctor's certificate, even though
the contract does not require

therapy assistant, one in which
the CSEA changed that rotation
of shifts was being done without
regard to seniority, and one in-
volving the assignment of pass
days without using seniority as
indicated in the negotiated con-
tract. Administrators of the in-
stitution have “not seen fit to
implement the settlements” of
the grievances, the CSEA alleges.

Robert Lattimer, president of
CSEA Western Region (Buffalo),
said that since these grievances
were settled, “the administra-
tion has not only been ignoring
the official decisions, which ac-
tion in itself could be interpreted
as ‘union busting,’ but they have
been refusing to allow employees
to exchange pass days, a prac-
tice that has been going on for
years.

“Although this practice may
not be spelled out in the CSEA
contract,” Mr. Lattimer said, “it
most certainly can be consid-
ered a ‘past practice’ and, as
such, {s technically part of an
agreement between an employer
and his employees.”

‘The CSEA leader said that his
allegations of “union busting”
are supported further by the
administration's explanation of

Lattimer Urges A Drive
To Dump State Senator

BUFFALO—Labeling incumbent State Senator Fred J. Eckert (R-C, Monroe) “a rab-
ble-rousing headline hunter, who has ridden on our backs long enough,” Robert L. Latti-
mer, Civil Service Employees Assn. Western Region VI (Buffalo) president called on CSEA
members, public employees, and workers in general to vote for William Steinfeldt for the

Republican Party nomination in
the 54th Senatorial District.

Tuesday, Sept. 14, the GOP
runoff date, is a red-letter day
for all public employes, Mr. Lat-
timer said, urging a 100 percent
turnout at the polls.

“If this happens, politicians
across the state will understand
that we reward our friends and
punish our enemies,” Mr. Latti-
mer predicted,

Mr. Lattimer said Senator Ec-
kert last spring “barnstormed
the editorial offices of the anti-
worker class to raise a storm
about so-called ‘plush pensions
of public employees,’ which cur-

management's letter mailed out
to employees last week.

The CSEA said employees were
working strictly to their job spe-
cifications and that, in addition,
toll collectors closely followed in-
structions in the toll manual
prepared by the Thruway.

“The toll manual makes col-
lectors responsible for many tasks
beyond just collecting the tolls
or handing out toll tickets,” ac-
cording to the union represen-
tative.

“For instance, toll collectors
are also responsible for check-
ing special Thruway plates, spe-
cial trucking permits, and spe-
cial hauling permits.

“Also, they are required to
conduct periodic vehicle inspec-
tions entering and leaving the
‘Thruway for possible violations
of motor vehicle regulations.
‘These all take time to perform.
and on especially busy days
could result in longer than usual
delays in both directions around
toll booths."

of what the taxpayer contributes
each year toward his pension.”

“Lulu” {s verbal shorthand for
“payment in leu of expenses”
which are issued to a number of
state legislators. They have come
under attack by the CSEA and
by other legislators, notably As-
semblyman Andrew Stein (D-L,
Manhattan)

Defends His ‘Li

“He defended his ‘lulu’ and
then pushed the pension bill that
will cost ut least $7 per year in
less take-home pay for each
worker under Article 14, as of
Jan. 1, 1977," Mr. Lattimer con-
tinued

“Now it’s our turn.

“We can make a has been out
of this rabble rouser,” Mr. Lat-
timer asserted. “We've got the
votes, and we've got the support
of all unions of public employees,
as well as some from the private
sector, who see through the sen-
tator’s motives; of cutting our
pensions to please the big-money
Associated Industries people, so
they can hold down private in-
dustry pensions for the little
guys too,

“He made the headlines last
spring. Now, let us make the
headlines this fall with a mas-
sive turnout at the polls and a
resounding defeat for this arro-

gant demagogue.”

Mr, Lattimer reported that the
effort to unseat the senator in-
cludes mailings, telephone calls,
and enlistment of volunteers for
Mr. Steinfeldt. He is a former
assemblyman whose record in
the assembly was “one of fair-
ness to public employees bal-
anced by a true concern for tax-
payers,” Mr, Lattimer said, add-
ing that Associated Industries Is
the “big business dominated”
group rumored as the financial
backer of Senator Eckert

The Senator had admitted
that his expenses would be
“picked up by some business
friends,” but, apprised that such
action could lead to felony
charges, announced that he
would cover his own expenses of
about $1,500.

has never lifted a hand to undo
the damage those calls made.

“Ed Jennings, president of the

ternational Pire Fighters Con-
vention, announced the passage
by unanimous vote of UFOA'’s
Resolution No, 102 censuring Fire
Commissioner and Chief of Dept.
John T. O'Hagan for his anti-
labor actions.

“Chief Jennings spoke on the
resolution before 1,209 delegates
(representing 200,000 union Fire
Fighters) attending the 33rd In-
ternational Assn. of Fire Pighters
Convention in Denver, Colo., and
cited the history of O'Hagan's
union busting tactics while in the
dual role of NYC Fire Commis-
sioner and Chief of Department.

“The resolution resulted from
many heated battles with both
fire unions. It erupted in Pebru-
ary 1976, when O'Hagan at-
tempted to have members eligi-
ble for promotion waive certain
rights and work contrary to the

two-platoon work chart or be
denied promotion," Jennings
said

“The union charged O'Hagan
with coercing and intimidating
union members and demanded
his resignation from union mem-
bership or face disciplinary
charges. The UFOA immediately
gained support from the Munici-

pal Labor Council, Central Labor
Council and the executive board
of the International Association
of Fire Fighters who sent letters
to Mayor Beame protesting O’-
Hagan's anti-labor practices.
O'Hagan resigned from the un-
fon on March 1,” Jennings stated.
The resolution resolved that

since John T. O'Hagan was no
longer a member in good stand-
ing that he be treated “persona
non grata’ by all local firefight-
ing unions in the United States
and Canada. Throughout the
years, O'Hagan had lectured at
workshops and symposiums be-
fore membership bodies of un-
fons and affiliates. He is no

longer welcome,” Jennings stated.

We think a healthy smile is everyone's right —

Preventive care not only results in a nice
smile, it can also help prevent illnesses that
result from, or are aggravated by, dental
neglect. But too many people say, “It isn't
the drill—it's the bill that hurts.

Sure, dental care can be expensive. To
meet this expense it's important for you to
have some kind of dental plan that provides

Plans of New York State

Beginning with this edition, The
Leader presents a three-part series
on the Comprehensive Employment
and Training Act (CETA)—What
it ts, how it is abused, and what
is being done about it. Leader fea-
tures editor Jane Bernstein has
talked to a lot of people who
should know the answers, but found
they don’t always agree. This series
will, we hope, clarify some of the
misunderstandings.

By JANE BERNSTEIN

Ever since its creation, the Federal
Comprehensive Employment and
Training Act has been a matter for
concern and some confusion among
state and local officials, public em-
ployees, union members and officials
and priviate citizens.

The Comprehensive Employment
and Training Act (CETA) was pass-
ed by Congress in late 1973 in ans-
wer to the problems raised by grow-
ing numbers of hard-core unem-
ployed, mostly in urban areas. It
was an offshoot of the Manpower
Development and Training Act of
the early 1970's, which addressed it-
self to the problems of an inflation-
ary economy.

But the CETA program differed
greatly in one respect from the
MDTA. The federal government,
when allocating funds to local muni-
cipalities and states, stipulated how
and where that money was to be
spent, Government officials began
to realize that the individual cities
knew where the greatest public ser-
vice needs existed. Thus, the ob-
ject of the CETA program became
twofold: It alleviated some of the
unemployment problem and also al-
lowed a local municipality to apply
the funds to services that were need-
ed most, through a “block” grant
operation

When passed, CETA consisted of
three titles under which money was
made available. Title I funds are
primarily used for training programs.
Included in this group are adult and
youth on-the-job training, adult
workshops, classroom training, sum-
mer in school for youth, job place-
ment and counseling for careers.
New York City has Title I funds of
$90 million through Sept. 30 of this
year. Some of that money was also
used to rehire laid off civil servants.

Title II funds are used for pub-
lice employment programs. Those
who are long-term unemployed, un-
deremployed, are provided with
transitional or temporary employ-
ment in different areas of the pub-
lic sector where services are needed.
Individuals must be unemployed for
30 days or more to qualify for a job
under this title. The jobs are gen-
erally in areas where low income
and high unemployment exist.
Workers are prepared to move into
other jobs not supported by federal
monies, whether in the public or
private sectors.

Title III provides for special pro-
grams, such as the Summer Youth
Employment Program, which grants
jobs to youths from families who
are considered disadvantaged by
federa)] standards. Poverty level in-
come for a family of four is $5,500
@ year. It also allocates money for
other special projects, such as the
employment and training of Ameri-
can Indians.

On Dec, 31, 1974, Congress pass-
ed an amendment to the CETA laws,

CETA

Is It The Answer
Or The Question?

areas disagree with the city admin-
istration in its choices.

An example of this is the continu-
ing feud between the department
and one of its vendors, the RCA
training program.

The program concentrates on
preparing the difficult-to-employ
with academic and job skills. It
claims an 85 percent placement rate
in business for the people it trains.
But due to the budget crisis, the
program has had its funding cut in
half by the department.

Lou Marano, who teaches English
as a second language for RCA says
the program should not have been
cut as severely as it was because of
its success in finding work for its
students, therefore widening the tax
base of New York City.

But Commissioner Rose says she
must consider the entire unemploy-

RCA instructor Lou Marano aids foreign students in their reading skills, Mr. Marano, whose program was cut in half, blasted
the New York Clty Department of Employment for what he calls a bad sense of priorities in administering CETA funds.

“I have to consider the total employment
picture when decidinig where money
should be spent,” says Lucille Rose, Com-
missioner of the New York City Depart-
ment of Employment, a CETA prime
sponsor.

creating Title VI. At this time, mu-
nicipalities began having fiscal trou-
bles and had to lay off regular em-
ployees; some provisions had to be
made for those laid off to return
to the working world.

This title, called the Emergency
Jobs and Unemployment Assistance
Act, allows funds for individuals hit
by budget crises to return to their
former jobs. But according to CETA

law, an employee may not be paid
more than $10,000 a year from fed-
eral funds. If a local government
sees fit, it may make up the dif-
ference between the previous and
the CETA salary out of municipal
tax levy monies. As of March of
this year, 2,100 laid off civil serv-
ants in New York City were re-
hired using Title VI funds. Some of
them included firemen, sanitation-
men, park laborers, corrections offi-
cers, and social service workers,

The distribution of funds and hir-
ing into jobs is done by what is
termed the “prime sponsor.” The
sponsor may be a state, local gov-
ernment with a population of more
than 100,000, or a group of local
governments whose populations tot-
al over 100,000.

For example, in New York City,
the Department of Employment,
headed by Commissioner Lucille
Rose, acts as one of the prime
sponsors for the Metropolitan area.

The department, through CETA,
has been able to better attack un-
employment in poverty sections of
New York City. It employs vendors
to administer training programs for
@isadvantaged adults and youth,
especially those for whom English
is @ second 5

One of the problems the depart-
ment now faces in view of the
need to make cutbacks and savings,
is how to determine where the high-
est priorities are. Very often, the
persons affected in the reduction

ment picture.

“While these people are an im-
portant part of the unemployed,
there are also other important seg-
ments, including laid off civil serv-
ants, disadvantaged youth, and vic-
tims of cutbacks in the private
sector,” she said, “I must consider
the total picture when deciding
where to realize cost savings.”

New York City is just one of
the prime sponsors with the bur-
den of deciding how and where
CETA monies should be applied.

The CETA grants under Title IT
for public service jobs generally ex-
tend for a period of 18 months, then
must be renewed. Persons hired
under this title may not take the
jobs of regular civil servants who
were laid off, or knock a regular
municipal workef out of his or her
job. If an eligible list for a certain
title exists, a municipality must hire
those who took a civil service test
for the job, rather than a CETA
worker.

When hiring, the prime sponsor
must complete forms detailing the
eligibility of each applicant, plus
the methods employed to recruit and
select each individual. The U.S. De-
‘partment of Labor has Manpower
representatives who are charged
with monitoring various CETA-
funded programs. The monitoring
system does not, however, prevent
certain abuses from taking place,
which will be illustrated in the sec-
ond part of this series.

A Public View

66@ EE that froup of men sitting over there. The one in

the light blue trousers, in particular. It's amazing how
he keeps so clean. They've been working on the street repair
for weeks, and yesterday he picked up a shovel and held
it out delicately in front of him to keep from dirtying him-
self. It’s the first we've seen him do anything in weeks.”

The above loosely reconstructed conversation is based
on a businessman's observation of a work crew outside his
window. There they were, four workers sitting neatly in
a row, as a fifth man operated an asphalt roller.

Later the same day, a police car was seen idling in the
street, as the driver was on the sidewalk chatting with a
girl who was obviously a personal acquaintance, This street
was in midtown Manhattan, and one lane was already
blocked off for some repair work. So between the blocked-
off lane and the idling police car, only one lane was left open.

Do we expect more of public sector employees than we
do of those in the private sector?

The answer is probably Yes. Taxpayers consider them-
selves to be the public employees’ boss. The fact that we
share this boss role with several hundred thousand other
people, and that public employees themselves are taxpayers,
doesn’t quite penetrate our minds when we witness scenes
like those described above.

< aren

This continues to be a time when civil servants are
under attack by those people and organizations who eagerly
take advantage of thé indiscretions of a few public employees
im order to point a finger of blame at all civil servants.

Yet, there are too many employees—in both the public
and the private sectors—who have developed an attitude
that the union will protect them.

It is in the interest of everyone to remove the deadbeats

so that the public can appreciate the value of its dedicated
civil servants.

Primary Action

OLITICAL action is in full-swing in the Rochester area,

where Assemblyman Fred Eckert (R-C) is being chal-

lenged in the primary by former Assemblyman William
Steinfeldt.

Mr. Eckert, it will be remembered, is the man who cam-
paigned so heavily to force through changes that reduced
pension plans for public employees who were added to the
payroll after July 1 of this year. It has resulted in a three-
tler pension system, creating inequities among newer em-
ployees, those hired during the three years prior to this
July 1 and those on the payroll prior to July 1, 1973.

It is little wonder that the Civil Service Employees Assn.

Js aiding in the effort to elect Mr. Steinfeldt in the Repub-
lean primary.

Both CSEA's Western Region VI president Robert Lat-
timer and Rochester chapter president Samuel Grossfield
have come out for Mr. Steinfeldt, even though the two union
leaders themselves had run against each other only one
year ago in a tensely fought race for the union office now
held by Mr. Lattimer,

The Lattimer-Grossfield agreement on this issue em-
phasizes the importance union leaders are giving to the
election of Mr. Steinfeldt in the upcoming primary next
week,

their new rights to engage in
political activity.

For almost four decades, such

employees, whose salaries were
paid in whole or in part with
federal funds, were “Hatched”

that is, they were barred
from any political activity by
the provisions of the Hatch Act.
However, in 1974 Congress en-
acted an amendment to the
Hatch Act, which substantially
eliminated its applications to
such employees.

Newly Won Rights

There is obviously some con-
fusion among top executives of
public agencies concerning the
extent to which such previously
Hatched employees may exercise
their new-won rights as citizens.
A case in point is a letter writ-
ten by the New York City Board
of Ethics to a City employee in-
forming her that she must report
to her supervisors about all of
her political activities even
though they took place outside
the office and on her own time.

Fortunately, this employee is
a constituent of Congressman
Edward I, Koch, who was a
leader in Congress in the drive
to change the provision in the
Hatch Act that made it applic-
able to state and local govern-
ment employees. Koch promptly
took up the cudgels, not only
in behalf of his constituent, but
more importantly to ensure that
administrative interpretations
would in no way impair such
civil service employees in the
exercise of their rights.

The City Ethics Board initially
sought to sustain its position on
the theory that “the purpose
of reporting to the agency head
is to make sure that the em-
ployee does not engage in poli-
tical activities on City time and
also to make sure that those ac-
tivities are not in conflict with
existing laws or official duties,”

Congressman Koch challenged
this ruling with the assertion
that it Would not only have a
chilling effect upon the right
of civil service employees to en-
wage in political activities, but
that it also frustrated the in-

Congressman Koch won his

activities of civil service em-
ployees. Clearly, partisan politi-
cal activity is prohibited on gov-
ernment property. Nor may gov-
ernment property be used for
political fund-raising activities.

A Case Of Discipline
A hearing officer's decision and recommended order
found that a school district violated Section 209-a(1) (a)
and (c) of the Taylor Law when it instituted charges and
imposed a reprimand against a union president, on the
grounds that the charge and reprimand were motivated by
anti-union feelings on the part of the school district.
5 ce
THE UNION PRESIDENT was a math teacher who had
taught in the school district for 14 years. On his way to
a union meeting with several elementary school teachers,
the union president encountered the elementary school prin-
cipal. A discussion ensued between the union president and
the principal, the content of which was a dispute having
to do with the tenure of another teacher. Shortly thereafter,
the principal's secretary telephoned the union president in
the faculty room and advised him that the principal would
like to meet with him immediately.
ee
THE PRESIDENT SAID he could not make it until later
that afternoon and asked to speak to the principal on the
phone. Later that afternoon, the union president received
a letter from the principal stating that due to his behavior,
he was forbidden from visiting the elementary school until
further notice. The two men did not meet again that day.
The superintendent of schools was advised of the incident
by the principal, and a written version of the facts was
submitted by the principal to the superintendent of schools.
Ultimately, charges were instituted against the union presi-
dent under Section 3020-a of the Education Law for the
purpose of putting a reprimand in the union president's file.
Prior to the charge actually being issued, however, the
union president apologized to the principal in a bar, Never-
theless, the Board of Education felt that this was insuffi-
cient, and that the charge should issue.
cat olan

THERE WAS TESTIMONY at the improper practice
hearing to the effect that the superintendent of schools had
told the Board in many executive sessions during the school
year that the union president was a “trouble maker.” There
was also testimony that the superintendent of schools told
the Board that the free period given to the union president
afforded him the time to harass the school district with
grievances. The record showed that 15 grievances had been
filed after the superintendent of schools was hired, whereas
in the prior year only four grievances had been filed.

WITH SPECIFIC REGARD to the discussion between
the union president and the principal, the record revealed
that it had not been overheard by anyone. Based on the
foregoing, the hearing officer found that if the superin-
tendent of schools had not reported the incident to the
School Board and recommended a reprimand, there would
have been no Board action and the incident would have been
finished. By punishing the union president, the school dis-

POUGHKEEPSIE—One hit
of the famous Dutchess
County Fair, and other
events held in Dutchess this
summer, was the new mobile
crime prevention unit owned and
operated by the Dutchess Deputy
Sheriff's unit, Civil Service Em-
ployees Assn.

‘The crime prevention unit is
contained in a motor van con-
verted by the deputies into an
exhibiting area and classroom,
where facts about crime and
Public safety can be shown and
graphically described.

Tt is believed to be the first
unit of its kind to be owned and
operated by deputy sheriffs, ac-
cording to deputy Mac Smith,
president of the unit. Similar
units have been operated by
county sheriffs or city pollce
departments, and have usually
been pald for by public funds.

“Not one cent in. taxpayers’
money went into the CSEA's
crime prevention unit," Mr.
Smith proudly stated.

A total of $25,000 to buy, con-
vert and operate the mobile unit
was raised through contributions
collected by the deputies, he
said. The deputies themselves
converted the vehicle,

The crime prevention unit
went into operation early this
year. About 10,000 people visited
the unit at the Dutehess County
Fair in Rhinebeck last month.
‘The unit took part in numerous
Bicentennial parades, fire de-
partment carnivals and other
events from one end of Dutchess
to the other this spring und
summer,

An even busier schedule {s
planned for the unit with the
coming of the new school year
in September, according to Dep-
uty Smith. The first big event
will be an exhibit on the Main
Mall in the City of Poughkeep-

This is the mobile crime prevention unit owned and operated by the Dutchess County Deputy Sheriff's
unit of the CSEA. The vehicle was purchased with funds raised by the unit and was converted for use
in the crime prevention and traffic safety program by the deputies during off-duty hours.

‘The real action will be from
September to June 1977 at all
of Dutchess County's school dis-
tricts. There the unit will be
used as a teaching tool.

The unit will carry out its
main job when it visits the
schools—education.

The most effective deterrent
to criminal offenses is the pre-
vention of crime before it be-
gins, through the education of
youth, Other deterrents are
teaching people to protect them-
selves, their families and their
homes and involving each citizen
in the effort to make his com-
munity a safer place to ive, Mr
Smith said.

Teaching traffic safety is also
@ major concern of the unit
Mr. Smith said that in 1974
alone, when Dutchess County
had 141,542 vehicles registered,

there were 45 deaths, 4,600 traf-
fie-related injuries and 3,242
property damage accidents. Traf-
fic accidents, deaths and injuries
can be reduced by conditioning
people of all ages in traffic
safety practices before unsafe
practices become a habit, and by
getting people involved in safety
promotional programs, Mr.

Smith said.

‘The display in the van in-
cludes approved door and win-
dow locks, residential and busi-
ness burglar alarm systems and
an explanation of the advan-
tages and disadvantages of each.
Other exhibits include ones on
fingerprinting, traffic and bi-
cycle safety, narcotics identifi-
gation and abuse, street crime
and a series of changing dis-
plays on current issues in the
fight against crime

The van's exhibits and the
deputies manning them stress
seven areas. These are

® Means of protecting homes
and personal property from theft
or vandalism through preventive
techniques, These include meth-
ods of “hardening the target”
by installation of effective door
and window locks and alarm
systems, timing lights, and pre-
vacation precautions such as
stopping newspaper and other
deliveries and enlisting neigh-
bors as “house watchers.”

This can be accomplished by

She’s Appealing Pot Ruling

A Queens County woman, dis-
qualified from applying to be-
come a policewoman, charged she
was “pressured” by a New York
City Police Department inter-
viewer into falsely stating she
was a frequent user of mari-
juana.

Charges were contained in a
suit filed last week by Judith
L, Alken, 26, in Manhattan Fed-
eral Court.

Ms. Aiken's sult claims the
Civil Service Commission first
disqualified her on medical
gorunds for @ “history of drug
abuse.” Commission chairman
Alphonse D’Ambrose changed it
to grounds of “conduct evidenc-
ing @ disregard for the laws of
New York State.”

She had admitted smoking
marijuana when she was 165.

Ms, Aiken asks that references
to “drug abuse” be removed from
her file, that she be reconsid-
ered as @ qualified applicant, and
that application and appeals pro-

cedures of the Police Department
and Civil Service Commission be
revamped.

The program will be presented
to public and private organiza-

off-duty hours. The Newburgh,
Beacon and Poughkeepsie police
departments have extensive
crime prevention programs of
their own and have agreed to
assist the CSEA program. In
turn, the Dutchess mobile unit
will help the police programs
and perhaps encourage other
agencies to also become involved,
Deputy Smith said.

The success of the crime pre-
vention unit, he said, depends
on community involvement and
it will be available on request for
appearances for any school, or-
ganization or community group.
‘Those interested in utilizing the
services nd facilities of the unit
are invited to call (914) 471-1585
to schedule an appearnce date.

CSEA Southern Region III
president James J. Lennon had
high praise for the crime pre-
vention unit.

“This type of involvement by
CSEA shows that our members
are as concerned as any other
taxpayers in any community
over the problem of crime and
safety,” Mr. Lennon said. “The
Dutchess County Deputy Sher-
iff's ynit, its officers and mem-
bers, deserve a big vote of thanks
for a job well done.”

‘Trap’ Warning

STONY BROOK — Stony
Brook University Civil Ser-
vice Employees Assn. chapter
president Al Varacchi this
week warned employees of what
he termed a “trap” laid in one
official's memorandum suggest-
ing that employees apply for #
30-hour week.

Mr. Varacchi pointed out that
the memo did not provide ans-
wers to what would happen to
the employees’ pension benefits,
death benefit, insurance, vaca-
tions, sick leave and personal
leave rights.

The Stony Brook CSEA leader
said the memo was “a ploy" de-
signed to set the stage for a new
attempt by the state administra-
tion to impose a 10-month aca-
demic calendar on the full-time
staff.

Mr. Varacchi demanded that

Carey Defends MH Plan
To Decentralize Facilities

ALBANY—During a recent tour at the Broome County Developmental Center, Gov.
Hugh L. Carey defended the state's plan to decentralize care for patients in Department of

Mental Hygiene facilities.

Pledging that “We will not perpetuate the mistakes of the past in this important

area,” the Governor added, “this
plan outlines our commitment to
develop the framework which
will allow every mentally retard-
ed citizen to realize his or her
maximum potential and to live
in the most comfortable, indepen-
dent and normalized setting pos-

@ number of groups including the
Civil Service Employees Assn.

That group feels that New
York State is imitating the ill-
fated "California Experiment” of
the late 1960's, in which major
Mental Hygiene facilities were
closed and patients were scat-
tered into satellite facilities in
a number of towns and cities
there.

CSEA executive vice-president
William McGowan, at the time
the plan was proposed for New
York, described the California
experiment as one which caused
“tremendous increase in violent
crime, community fear, and re-
sentment, and untreated, home-
less mental patients living in
back alleys.”

‘The Governor said the high-
Ughts of the plan, which he
claims will result in the savings
of more than $30 million, in-

AFSCME Raid Try Fails
In City Of Syracuse Unit

SYRACUSE—“It looks like the tiger was all roar and

no teeth.”

With those words, Frank Martello, Central Region V
(Syracuse) supervisor for the Civil Service Employees Assn.,

informed regional staff on learn-
ing that the petition by Coun-
cil 66, American Federation of
State, County and Municipal
Employees, for decertification of
the white-collar unit of the City
of Syracuse was dismissed.

In May, the APSCME peti-
tioned the Public Employment

Mildred Wands
To Be Honored

TROY—Mildred Wands will be
honored at a retirement party)
Oct. 23 at Mario's Restaurant
here. It is scheduled for 7 p.m.

Ms. Wands, who has worked
for the Employees Retirement
System, had served from 1969 to
1973 as social chairman of the
Civil Service Employees Assn.’s
Capital District Conference, She
received the Conference Presi-
dent's Award in 1971.

Reservations for the event are
$11, and may be made with Ro-
bert Rhubin at (518) 474-7573
before Oct 9. Mr. Rhubin js vice-
president of the ERS chapter of
CSEA.

Relations Board, claiming the
union had sufficient interest
among the 295 eligible employees
to call for a representation elec-
tion. The CSEA represents the
unit members.

PERB rules stipulate that 30
percent of the unit, or 85 mem-
bers, were required to sign rep-
resentation cards to validate the
Petition.

“They didn’t have enough
strength in the unit, and prob-
ably knew full well from the
beginning they couldn’t muster
the required number of cards,”
Mr, Martello continued.

“We were confident our City
of Syracuse membership would
carefully weigh the choice and
make the decision to ignore a
lot of the AFSCME’s ‘blue sky’
promises. And they did exactly
that.

“Plain and simple, we think it
was just another attempt to
antagonize the CSEA by going
after one of our units. It’s an
old tactic and the only thing it
proved it that the CSEA is
stronger than ever,” Mr, Mar-
tello concluded.

CSEA Info Station Going
On An Albany Region Tour

ALBANY—The Civil Service Employees Assn.'s Albany
Region IV will once again put the CSEA Information Sta-
tion on the road in the Albany area for a 26-week period
beginning shortly after Labor Day, field supervisor John

Corcoran Jr. announced recently.

The Information Station is a
multi-use display which draws
attention to the presence of
CSEA representatives in a spe-
cific area.

“We have had much success
in communicating with our
members by placing this display
within easy access of various
membership centers,” Mr. Cor-
coran said.

‘This year, the station will pro-
vide information on CSEA Re-
gion and statewide political ac-
tion programs and advise union
members of the pro or anti-
public employee stance of vari-

E. Btevens.

‘The meeting will come to or-
der at 10 a.m. at the Glens Falls
armory, Mr, Stevens said, and
will be followed by a luncheon

ous politicians.

Members will be free to ask
questions of the various represen-
tatives at the station,

The CSEA mobile office will
also visit various state work sites
where employees often enjoy
nearby park areas during lunch
periods,

riods of sick time.

In various stages of the
CSEA’s defense of Ms. Perkins,
it was shown that her absences
were due to a respiratory prob-
lem aggravated by poor ventila-
tion in the x-ray room where she
worked, and that she did not
exceed any sick leave that was
due to her through the negotiat-
ed contract with the County.

The case was finally resolved
when the Erie County Legish-
ture passed a resolution award-
ing Ms. Perkins $12,157.70. This
represents the difference between
wages earned and what she
would have earned had she not
been dismissed.

Putnam Signs Pact

(Continued from Page 1)
that Mf the CSEA wouki waive
the 3-percent penalty, the coun-
ty would extend the two-year
pact called for by the arbitrator
to three years, und negotiate a

cost-of-living raise based on the
consumer price index in the
third year,

CSEA fieki representative

Larry Scanlon said, “The arbit-
rator's award was a falr and
equitable resolution of a contract
problem that had dragged on for
far too long,

“The employees of Putnam
County deserve high praise for
the long hours of hard work they
put in to see this situation
through."

PERB Suggests A 52% Boost
For Saratoga City Schoolers

SARATOGA—A Public Employment Relations Board fact-finder has recommended a
5'4 percent salary increase, plus increments, for noninstructional employees of the Sara-

toga City School District.

Martin J. Houlihan, of Loudonville, is the fact-finder named by the PERB in a

contract dispute between the
school district and the Civil Ger-
vice Employees Assn.

Mr. Houlihan said that the 544
percent across - the - board - in -
crease is to include the dental
package plan and no reduction
in the hourly rate of part-time
bus drivers, Also, that the agree-
ment to adjust the salary of the
cafeteria help be put into ef-
fect.

CSEA STRENGTH

IN UNITY

MEMBERSHIP DRIVE
JUNE 1-NOVEMBER 30

Never in the history of our union has it been so
vital to stick together — grow together and share the
load to keep us strong. In these tough times, the
greater the percentage of membership of any county
unit or chapter, the greater the strength at the bar-
gaining table. The greater the percentage of state
employees belonging to CSEA, the greater the
Strength of the state bargaining units.

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

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

For each new member you sign up between June 1
and November 30, CSEA will award you $5.00. After
you have signed up the new member he must be on
the payroll for four bi-weekly pay periods or the
equivalent thereof. Many members are planning their
Christmas shopping around this membership drive.
The Christmas Club bonuses for all members signed
up before September 15 will be paid on December
15th. The second payoff, for new members signed
between September 16 and November 30, will take
place on February 15.

CHAPTER OR UNIT PRESIDENT
HAS CONVENIENT SIGN-UP

CARDS

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

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

We'll keep your account up to date and will return
to you, in writing, a receipt for each new member
you've signed up.

Only CSEA members in good standing as of June
1, 1976, may recruit new members during this drive.
New members must work in a unit of government
represented by CSEA. So we urge you CSEA mem-
bers —go to it — start signing up non-members for
cash in your pocket and security in your future.

NON-MEMBERS SHOULD
HELP SHARE THE LOAD

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

So help us share the load by signing up with us.
CSEA — the most powerful force in New York State
working for public employees.
