CSEA, STEIN JOIN
FORCES TO UNCOVER
GOVERNMENT WASTE

ALBANY--The Civil Service Employees Assn. and As-

semblyman Andrew Stein

(D-L, Manhattan),

have an-

nounced formation of a joint committee on waste and in-
efficiency in government “to identify the millions of tax

dollars which are being lost to
no-show, patronage positions and
administrative fat in government
each year.”

The committee, according to
Mr. Stein and CSEA president
Theodore C. Wenzl, will hold a
series of public hearings in the
coming weeks to hear testimony
“from anyone who cares to come
forth” to document actual evi-
dence of uneconomical govern-
ment practices at the state and
muneipal levels.

The CSEA thrust, Dr. Wenzl
said, was mainly an effort to
minimize the laying off of career
civil service employees in the
state work force.

“While this is our immediate
concern in the face of the Ad-
ministration’s current threats of
extensive personne] cutbacks, we
are also strongly united with As-
semblyman Stein's general ob-
jective of eliminating all waste
and extravagance in govern-
ment,” he said.

In their joint announcement
of the new committee, Mr. Stein
and Dr. Weng said:

“This committee was formed
to discover and document the
millions of tax dollars lost each
year by our state and local gov-
ernments, We are looking for the

Lawsuit Filed
To Halt Firing

ALBANY — Maintaining
that it is illegal to lay off
permanent and competi-
tive civil service em-
ployees while the state retains
provisional and temporary
workers, attorneys for the
Civil Service Employees Assn.
will institute a lawsult this
week in the Albany County
Supreme Court in an effort to
protect career civil servants
from this practice.

James W. Roemer Jr.,
counsel for CSEA, termed the
layoffs of permanent state
employees “a violation of the
spirit and intent of the con-
stitutionally protected merit
system.”

Gov, Hugh L. Carey and the
State Department of Civil
Service will be named as de-
fendants in the lawsuit.

Yonkers Employees Will March Nassau Now Seeking
In Protest Over Mass Firings

YONKERS—A protest demonstration, {lluminated by candlelight, is set for 6:30 p.m.
Tuesday, Jan. 13, as City of Yonkers school and other employees who have been laid off or
who face threatened dismissals attempt to dramatize their plight.

Following a mass rally in front of the city’s Board

building, the empioyees, bearing

candles, will march to Yonkers
City Hall.
‘The city, the state's fourth

largest, is operating under Al-
bany-imposed fiscal restraints as
it seeks to hack its way through
its current fiscal thicket. It will
have lost 427 non-teaching
school employees, many repre-
sented by the Civil Service Em-
ployees Assn, by next summer if
present plans hold firm. More
bee hs 100 teachers have been

laid off and 263 will go Feb. 1
and July 1. In addition, last
week, the city learned that its
school system will have to op~
erate with about $2.3 million
Yess than previously estimated
over the next 18 months. This,
school officials said, will involve
the firing of an additional 175
teachers.

112 Yonkers school street cross-
ing guards, members of the
Yonkers Crossing Guard CSEA
unit, was pending, CSEA main-
tains that the firings violate a
Job security clause in the Yonk-
ers-CSEA contract.

The city, which had faced the
possibility of default, was saved
by the state Nov. 14. It has a
Population of about 200,000.

Commenting on the school
crossing guard firings, Raymond
Cassidy, president of the West-
chester County CSEA chapter,
said: “The Yonkers Emergency
Control Board has violated an
express contractural guarantee
that the employees negotiated
and by which they had given up
other benefits in exchange for
job security. One of the most
sacred guarantees in our Con-
stitution is that no state can
pass a law which interferes with
@ contract.”

Dolores Nyahay, president of
the guards’ unit, declared that
Yonkers school children will
now be left unprotected and
their safety imperiled.

“The city should seek to cut
costs without playing Russian
roulette with the lives of chil-
dren,” she said. “My guards are
very dedicated women; every
guard is a ‘mother’ to the chil-
dren she crosses, No one knows
better than they that the inter-
sections are extremely hazardous
and dangerous if left unguard~
ea.”

The leader of CSEA Southern
Region ITI, James Lennon,
called the elimination of the
guards “a tragic disgrace,”

“The city has hit at the low-
est-paid workers,” Mr, Lennon
charged. “They are the ones who
do the job and keep the city
running. The fat cats and po-
litical chiefs are not being fired.
Tt is a simple solution to sacri-
flee or ax the jobs of the low
paid. It takes guts to dump the
supervisory and executive posi-
tions. I hope the Yonkers poli-
ticlans have that kind of guts.”

In Giving A Public Employee View

situated,” seeks to find the Leg-
islature’s mandate of a deferred
increment to be “unconstitu-
tional, inoperative, null and void
and of no effect,” according to
the language of the CSEA com-
plaint.

CSEA is basing its lawsuit on
the legal grounds that specific
sections of current New York
State laws provide for the pay-
ment of increments while pre-
cluding the state from unilater-
ally reducing the increments of

its employees. CSEA is claiming
that the Legislature's supplemen-
ta] budget last year, which man-
dated increments for state em-
Ployees effective on July 1, 1975,
instead of at the start of the
fiseal year on April 1, 1975, was
in violation of these laws and
the New York State Constitution.

Attorney General Louis Lefko-
witz, representing Gov. Hugh L.
Carey and the State of New York,
defendants in the lawsuit, is ex-
pected to answer the complaint
shortly.

to Robert L. Lattimer, CSEA

Mr. Lattimer, who appeared
with Region third vice-president

told the radio audience that
“while some people are putting

SOUTH COLONIE—An exchange of letters
between the South Colonie School Teachers
Assn. and the Civil Service Employees Assn,'s
Albany Region IV was intended as a friendly
debate to compare the merits of two unions
currently contesting for representation rights
for the Professional-Scientific-Technical Bar-
gaining Unit of ‘state employees.

The exchange resulted, however, in an in-
terest by the Teachers group in further dis-
cussing CSEA’s role as a bargaining agent and
its success in representing its members.

The South Colonie School Teachers Assn. is
& member of the New York State United
Teachers, one of the unions that is collaborat-

ing under the name of Public Employees Fed-
eration for PST representation rights.

The irony of the situation is that the letter
exchange revealed that many SCSTA members
have been dissatisfied with the United Teach-
ers, because the South Colonie teachers have
not received aid from the UT in litigation
which the local undertook at its own expense,

Tt seems that the New York State United
Teachers, in effect, told its local that it could
not be bothered with such activities at this

time,

Many of the SCSTA members said that they
feel the United Teachers is too busy attempting
to unseat CSEA as the PST bargaining agent

Greece's Joh Action

Postponed

But Pact Issue Remains Muddled

(From Leader Correspondent)

GREECE—Possible job actions by members of the Civil Service Employees Assn. em-
ployed by the Town of Greece have been postponed.

The postponement was decided after CSEA and town negotiators met recently.
Thomas Pomodoro, a union field representative and a negotiator for the 110 workers in the

town’s Public Works and Recrea-
tion Departments, said he “still
can’t figure out what happened
at the meeting.

“I am still very pessimistic,”
he said. “We don’t know what's
going on.”

Another meeting was set for
this week. Mr. Pomodoro said
both sides stated their positions
on issues that remain to be set-

tled, in an attempt to clarify
them. He added the Town asked
whether CSEA could be flexible
on several issues, He said he told
town negotiators that. the union
could offer movement on some
issues but not on the major one:

worked at least a 45-hour week
and received overtime pay for
more than 40 hours. However,
the Town wishes to reduce the
work week to 40 hours.

Mr. Pomodoro said the Town
did not offer to change any of
its positions.

Employees have been without
@ contract since a two-year pact
expired on the first of the year.
‘The two sides have met about a
dozen times before CSEA de-
clared an impasse Dec. 1.

The State Public Employment
Relations Board has appointed a
fact-finder to assist in the dis-
pute, but both sides have agreed
not to call him in as yet.

“We're only looking for a fair
and equitable settlement,” Mr.
Pomodoro said. We have no in-
tention of raping the town.”

A majority of the employees
are paid $4.86 per hour or sbout
$230 weekly for a 45-hour week.
Achange to a 40-hour work week
would mean a reduction of
about 16 percent in pay. Mr, Po-
modoro said the town had of-
fered the union a three-year
contract with a 3 percent in-
crease each year. He added the
town wants to eliminate em-
ployees’ extended sick leave
benefits, which allow workers
three-quarters pay for up to four
months each year in addition to
12 days of regular sick leave at
full pay.

He said the town also wants to
take away the employees’ 10
legal holidays and give them 10
days off on different dates.

“You tell me what employee
wants to come in on Christmas
and have a day off some Tues-
day in March?” Mr. Pomodoro
asked.

Western Region VI president.

everything but plague and pestl-
lence, the workers continue in
their dedication to public ser-
vice and we want the public to
know this.

“We're sick and tired of being
lumped together with the poli-
ticlans and holders of patronage
jobs,” he said. “We do the work
for little money while the poli-
ticians and those with political
plum jobs get the big bucks and
pass the buck.”

Mr. Lattimer and Ms. Galla-
gher also detailed to the audi-
ence CSEA’s disclosures of raises
to Governor Hugh L. Carey's
Staff of over $800,000 last year
while the career workers got
@ $250 “bonus.” They also ex-
plained proposals made by CSEA
president Theodore Wenz] to the
Governor and the legislature in
early December on ways the
State could recover hundreds of
millions of dollars now Jost be-
cause of “poor accounting, bill-
ing and collecting procedures.”

Dr. Wenzl had written the of-
fictals that better auditing of
various taxes could result in the
collection of an additional $560
million; improvements in billing
for various services could bring
$15 million; dropping some pub-
lications could save $20 million,
and that delays in deposit of re-
ceipts were resulting in losses of
$145,000 per day in lost interest,

Mr. Lattimer and Ms. Galle~
gher said public employees are
not responsible for administra-
tive mismanagement, “And must
not become the scapegoats for
things the State does.”

The television appearance was
on “Magazine,” a daily program
hosted by Stewart Dan on WGR-
TV, Channel 2, Buffalo. It fo-
cussed on “How Tax Increases

Westchester’s Overtime Error

WHITE PLAINS — West-
chester County may have to
pay more than $450,000 in
accumulated overtime pay-
ments to 37 Parks, Recreation
and Conservation Department
staffers.

A computer error apparently
failed to tally about 55,000 over-
time hours over the past decade.
In 1974, the county and the Civil
Service Employees Assn. signed a
contract providing that accumu-

lated overtime in most categories
be paid in cash rather than com-
pensatory time off. However, an
error in programming a computer
caused one payroll column to
hold only three figures. Thus, if
an individual posted a total of
1,234 hours of overtime, the com-
puter would post only 234 hours,

The county said it intends to
file a challenge on the payments
noting that the 1974 pact was
signed with flawed data.

Retirement Applications

Applications for 590 retirements were approved at the

seven months ago. Because of
the continued unemployment in

spectors, as well as myself, do
not feel encouraged about future
prospects, to put it mildly, Un-
less the Civil Service Employees
Assn. can establish a more stable
employment policy in state serv-

ingly difficult to obtain qualified
employees in the future, since

State Conflict Of Interest

w= Seneca Developmental Center chapter of the Civil
Service Employees Assn., has an internal publication—
as do many other of CSEA’s chapters—which provides a
degree of personal communication for members of the 1,500-
member local.

In the latest edition of the West Seneca chapter's “In-
former,” it is suggested that members write, telegram or
phone their congressmen and legislators every time a news-
paper carries an article that is harmful to state employees.

What we particularly liked, in their sample letter, is
this sentence:

“If Carey wants the legislators to freeze our salaries for
1976-77, then let him also exempt us from increased taxes

that we are supposed to pay just as any other New York
State citizen.”

This raises two thoughts in our mind:

One is the oft-repeated reminder that in this Bicen-
tennial year, state einployees are subject to the same taxa-
tion as private citizens although the state employees are
greatly restricted as far as political involvement is con-
cerned.

Second, though, is what we consider to be a new thought
—possibly worthy of a United States Supreme Court deci-
sion. In a nation where separation of powers has a moral
strength beyond the narrow confines of Executive-Legisla-
tive-Judicial in its traditional sense, we ask this question:

Specifically, does the State of New York have the right
in its role as Government to tax equally all its citizens, when
in its role of Employer it has selected out one group for
a wage freeze?

This strikes us as a conflict of interest.

Union Independence

HE letter that New York State’s Professional-Scientific-
Technical employees received last week from George
Meany is an indication of what would be in store for PST
employees if they were taken in by opponents of the Civil
Service Employees Assn. in the current representation.

Mr. Meany, president of the American Federation of
Labor-Congress of Industrial Organizations, already has
his hands so full keeping competing AFL-CIO unions in line
in their opposing drives for public employees, that he can
be forgiven, we suppose, for not even getting the name right
in referring to the Civil Service Employees Assn. He left
out the “Employees,” which is probably the most vital word
in the name, and the reason for CSEA standing head and
shoulders above the other independent unions that Mr.
Meany dismissed with a flick of his hand,

To begin with, the New York State Civil Service Em-
ployees Assn, is the largest independent public employees
union in the world.

CSEA got that way because it has been uniquely suc-
cessful. New York State employees have led the way for other
civil service organizations in the nation, so it is little wonder
that CSEA (or any portion of its members) is a prize much
coveted by the AFL-CIO.

The real message inferred in the outside interference
of Mr, Meany’s letter, though, is that professional-scienti-
fic-technical employees, as a separate AFL-CIO union (under
the Public Employees Federation heading) would be a tiny
cog in the nationwide union. They are a powerful influence
within the Civil Service Employees Assn. in New York State.

Don’t Repeat This!

(Continued from Page 1)
his State of the State Message
last week, Governor Carey paint-
ed a bleak picture of prospects
for the year, proposing increases
in taxes, retrenchment in the
quantity and quality of public
services, and a freeze on civil
service employee salaries.

‘The focus of attention will now
focus on the Legislature, which
will have to come to grips with
the issues framed by the Gover-
nor in order to dispose of them.

Key Roles

‘The legislative response will be
shaped largely by Senate Majori-
ty Leader Warren M. Anderson,
with an important but typically
subdued role played by Senator
John Marchi of Staten Island,
the chairman of the powerful
Senate Finance Committee.

During the past year, and par-
ticularly at the prolonged Spe-
cial Session, Senator Anderson
Played a key role in working
out an accommodation with the
Governor, in mutual efforts to
save New York City and the City
of Yonkers from the specter of
bankruptcy. Through his efforts.
Senator Anderson clearly emerged
as the second most powerful of-
ficial in the State.

However, Anderson is anything
but a yes-man to the Governor.
What finally emerged at the
Special Session was neither the
Governor's program nor Ander-
son’s program, but an amalgam
and compromise of their separate
views.

Senator Anderson will play an
equally significant role in what-
ever emerges in the course of
this legislative session. Since this
is an election year, it will prob-
ably be more difficult than ever
to isolate and agree upon areas
of compromise. Politics will over-
shadow some of Senator Ander-
son's thinking, just as it inevita-
bly must ciroumscribe the ap-
proaches of the Governor.

Creative Ideas

Since the critical problems
facing the Legislature are bud-
getary in nature, Senator Ander-
son is in an excellent position to
come up with creative ideas,
Since he had previously been
Chairman of the Senate Finance
Committee, Anderson is thor-
oughly at home with the com-
plexities of the state budget, In-
deed, it is conceded that few
people in Albany are as familiar
with the state budget as Ander-
son,

In addition, Anderson has su-
preme confidence in the abilities
of Senator Marchi, his successor
in the Finance Committee post.
While Senator Marchi did not
make it as @ candidate for Mayor
of New York City, he impressed
the voters of the City with his
intellectual capacity and with his
integrity and dedication,

While the Governor will not
spell out the details of his fiscal
program until Jan. 20, when he
is required by the Constitution
to submit his proposed budget to
the Legislature, it is no secret his
proposals involve recommenda-
tions for an increase in the sales
tax, for extension of the sales
tax to services not now subject
to the tax, and an increase in
the individual income tax. In ad-
dition, it is also known that the
Governor will recommend reduc-
tions in state ald to localities.

Each of these proposals give
rise to sensitive political consid-
erations, which will have to be
carefully considered by Senator
Anderson, who has no desire to

Tenure Permanency

In Matter of Walter Lippmann v. Thomas Delaney, 48
AD. 2d 913 (1975), the court found that a public employee
does not have such permanency of tenure that his position
must be continued, and further, that a public employer is
not bound to observe a provision in a collective bargaining
agreement barring reductions in work force. The petitioner
in this case worked in the office of the Sheriff of Westches-
ter County as a deputy sheriff, crime laboratory technician.
His duties consisted of performing qualitative and quanti-
tative analyses of criminal evidence. Because of budgetary
restrictions, however, the Westchester County Board of Leg-
islators decided to eliminate the crime laboratory duties
within the Sheriff's Department.

ere

THE BOARD ELIMINATED three of the four laboratory
technician positions, retaining only a ballistic expert. Pe-
titioner brought this Article 78 proceeding to compel his
reinstatement as a deputy sheriff, crime laboratory techni-
cian, or, in the alternative, to compel his reclassification
and employment in a position he formerly had held, deputy
sheriff, criminal investigator. Supreme Court, Westchester
County denied the petition. The Appellate Division then
granted petitioner a stay and required Westchester County
to continue his employment pending determination of an
appeal. Here, the Appellate Division terminated its stay and
affirmed the decision of the Supreme Court, denying the
petition.

THE CENTRAL issue discussed by the Appellate Division
is whether the abolition of petitioner's position was in vio-
lation of the collective bargaining agreement entered into
by Westchester County and the Civil Service Employees
Assn. The court stated, first of all, that an appointing offi-
cial has the power to abolish a civil service position when
acting in good faith, and the motivations of the members
of a legislative body were not the proper subject of judicial
inquiry, absent evidence of fraud or corruption. The court
then questioned whether Westchester County was bound to
adhere to a collective bargaining agreement provision that
barred reductions in work force. The court declared that
provisions of a collective bargaining agreement were bind-
ing on a public employer only if they involve terms or condi-
tlons of employment. In this regard, the court noted with
approval decisions of the Public Employment Relations
Board finding that reduction of a work force for economic
reasons does not constitute a term or condition of employ~-
ment. With this support, the court concluded that the sub-
ject of reductions in work force was not a term or condition
of employment; that it was not the proper subject of a
collective bargaining agreement; and therefore, this pro-
vision of the collective bargaining agreement barring re-
duction in force was not binding upon the County.

.
MOREOVER, the court construed the pertinent provision

Madison’s Unit
Accepts Report
By Fact-Finder

WAMPSVILLE — A spokes-
man for the Civil Service
Employees Assn. announced
last week that the negotia-
ting team for the Madison
County White-Collar unit of
CSEA voted to accept recommen-
dations by a Public Employment
Relations Board fact-finder in

their entirety. According to
Roger Kane, CSEA coll:
bargaining specialist, the rec-
ommendations include a tw
year agreement, plus the addi-
tion of the 10-year longevity
step

“Although we were not happy
with the fact-finder's report,”
Mr. Kane added, “we feel that
due to the current fiscal prob-
lems in Madison County, this
settlement is something that we
would recommend to our mem-
bership.”

If the Madison County Board
of Supervisors accepts the two-
year agreement, the county and
union negotiating teams will
meet to finalize the terms and
conditions for the new contract

“If the two-year agreement 1s
rejected by the Board of Super-
visors, the next step is to im-
mediately call for a Legislative
hearing,” Mr. Kane concluded.

DOT Suit

(Continued from Page 1)
right-of-way agents who were
laid off were qualified to do the
work which the state had con-
tracted out to paid consultants.
However, the volume of work be-
ing done by the consultants per-
mits the rehiring of only four of
the eight, he determined.

The four rehired will receive
back pay from the date of their
layoff to the present. The back
pay will be the difference be-
tween what each employee's sal-
ary would have been had he re-
mained on the job, and the sal-
ary, or unemployment benefits,
he actually received during that
period.

Mr, Benewitz stated that since
only four of the eight qualified
employees can be rehired, the
eight would be rated according
to thelr qualifications and jobs
would be offered to the top four
If any of them do not want the
job, it will be offered to the
employee with the next-highest
qualifications, and so on.

A CSEA spokesman called the
arbitrator's award “a significant
decision” for the union in that
it establishes a precedent for
state employees

‘Our lawyers are already look-
ing at additional wreas where
the same principles might ap-
ply," he said, “The decision that
the state can’t lay off qualified,
permanent civil servants while
paying consultants to do the
same work is @ victory for all
union members."

CSEA had also tried
more than 200 employees in the
Operational Services Bargaining
Unit who were laid off by DOT
However, Mr. Benewitz found
that in their case, "The State
did not violate the CSEA con-
tract by entering into snow and
fee agreements with municipall-
ties and counties,” Most of the
Operational employees laid off
were involved in snow removal
jobs, and it was found that the
consultants hired by the state
to do their work are paid on
& per-storm basis.

filled by persons whose only
qualification is their political af-
filiations; the excessive luxuries
for a few at the public's expense;
the programs where money is
lost through fraud, negligence or
oversight.

“The ultimate purpose of the
committee is first to show the
extent of governmental waste
and then to suggest ways of
eliminating it. We are in the
midst of a continuing fiscal crisis
and are caught between an over-
taxed population and an under-
served public. It is obvious that
before essential services are cut,
before career government em-
ployees are laid off, and before
taxes are again incurred, gov-
ernment must be stripped free
of those people and programs
which do not serve the public
good.

“We expect to document tens
of millions of dollars in no-shows
and other forms of waste. We
have the cooperation and support
of the more than 300,000 govern-

ee

band,

ment employees statewide repre-
sented by CSEA, who work for
their pay and who see hundreds
of instances of waste every day.
With this cooperation, we can
be assured of the ultimate suc-
cess of this joint venture, with
the resultant savings to the peo-
ple of millions of dollars and
thousands of jobs in this state.”
The joint committee has
planned public hearings chaired
by Assemblyman Stein in New
York City, Albany, Binghamton,
Syracuse, Rochester, and Buffalo
during January and February.

it did not prevent job abolition,

for January by the localities, as
well as a settlement of claims
for the month of October 1975.
The federal share amounts to

ON THE WEST SIDE

Two School Workers .
Win Court Victories
With CSEA Backing

ALBANY—In two separate court actions, the Civil Ser-
vice Employees Assn. won reinstatement for one school dis-
trict employee and reversal of a lower court ruling suspend-

ing another school worker.

Reinstatement for William
Cox, a senior custodian in the
City School District of Peekskill,
was won in State Supreme Court.

Mr, Cox had been placed on
an involuntary leave of absence
and was required, under Section
72 of the Civil Service Law, to
undergo a medical examination.
Subsequently, the superinten-
dent of schools in Peekskill re-
fused to comply with a psychiat-
rist's recommendation that Mr.
Cox be returned to work as soon
as practicable, contingent upon
regular monthly visits for psy-
chiatric care.

Justice Anthony J. Cerrato,
citing a prior case where Section
72 had been held unconstitution-
al, directed that Mr. Cox be re-
instated to his former job, “with
full back pay and benefits retro-
active to the date upon which
he was involuntarily placed upon
@ leave of absence.”

An Appelate Division proceed-
ing involved John Scuderi, a
janitor in the City School of
Yonkers, who ‘had been suspend-
ed, A lower court had ruled that
Mr. Scuderi had not acted in a
timely way in commencing an
action after his formal demand
for reinstatement had been de-
nied. The law provides for a
four-month statute of limitation.

The union's representative,
acting in Mr. Scuderi’s behalf,

had made several demands for
charges, and, when refused by
the City of Yonkers, demanded
that he be reinstated to his job.
This demand was denied on Oct.
11, 1973. The last day for com-
mencing action for reinstate-
ment was Feb. 17, 1974.

The Appellate Division, how-
ever, ruled that CSEA’s com-
mencing action on Feb. 19 was
timely, since Feb. 17 was a Sun-
day and Feb. 18 was Washing-
ton’s Birthday, a national holi-
day.

The justices said that these
circumstances extended the time
to commence proceeding to the
next business day, Feb. 19, when
the proceeding was in fact com-
menced.

Tn awarding Mr. Scuderi costs
and disbursements to cover the
‘appeals, the justices stated that
the lower court erred, and that
any delay in making formal de-
mands for reinstatement was not
the result of Mr. Scuderi’s ne-
glect.

CSEA attorney Arthur H. Grae
appeared in behalf of both men.

CIVIL SERVICE LEADER, Tuesday, January 13, 1976

Three Copiague School Units
Approve Fact-Finder Report

COPIAGUE—Three different Civil Service Employees Assn. units representing non-
teaching employees of the Copiague Public School District have accepted a fact-finder’s
report on their new contracts and now are awaiting acceptance of those reports by the

school board.

‘The clerical, custodial, and
supervisory-custodial units of
CSEA, with a total membership
of approximately 80 workers,
each accepted separate fact~
finding reports “by very close
votes,” according to CSEA field
representative John Cuneo, who
acted as chief negotiator for the
units,

The recommendations of Pub-
lic Employment Relations Board
fact-finder Nathan Cohen called
for two-year contracts, retroac-
tive to July 1, 1975, for all three
groups of employees. The three
units had been negotiating since
March 1975.

‘The custodians in the district,
assuming the school board ac-
cepts the fact-finder’s report,
will receive a 7% percent raise,
plus increments, the first year
of the pact, and will begin re-
opener talks on their second-
year raise this March. Clerical
employees will receive an 8 per-
cent raise, plus increments, with
the same provision for reopener
talks in the segond year, The
supervisory-custodial group, all

of whom are at the top of their
seale, will receive an 8% percent
raise the first year, and will also
have reopener talks in March to
determine their second - year
raise,

Mr. Cuneo said that the most
important improvement in the
new contracts is that all three
units received a new longevity-
payment schedule. Non-teachers
will receive $150 after 12 years,
$250 after 15 years, $400 after 20
years and $600 after 25 years.

“This was very important to
us because Copiague School Dis-
trict has so many senior em-
ployees," Mr. Cuneo said.
“They've put in many years here

Clerical workers received two
extra holidays in the first year
of their contract.

Mr, Cuneo expressed the hope
that the school board would
ratify the three pacts, despite
reservations about them held by
some of the union members. “I
know we didn’t get everything
we wanted in these contracts, but
they certainly represent a step
in the right direcion,” he said.

The president of the clerical
employee CSEA unit is Vicki Ra-
go. The custodians’ president is
Mike Curtin, and the supervi-
aory-custodians' president is Mike
Rubino. Mr. Cuneo had high
praise for Mr. Rubino, Mr, Cur-
tin and Ms, Rago and all three
bargaining teams for the CSEA
units.

“They put in a lot of long
hours since negotiations began
last March, and they deserve the
credit for the improvements in
the contracts,” he said.

Erie’s Units Pose Suggestion

nearly 1,300 CSEA members.

In Battle To Prevent Layoffs

BUFFALO—Suggestions ranging from shutting down a penitentiary farm to using
the backs of obsolete forms for notes have been offered as cost-cutting measures to Erie
County government officials by the county's 5,400-member Civil Service Employees Assn.

chapter.

The suggestions, compiled by
SEA in an effort to fend off
threatened layoffs, were project-
€d to save the county taxpayers
milHons of dollars, said Victor
E. Marr, chapter president.

“We feel no one should be laid
off; it’s counter-productive,” @
union spokesman said about the
cost cutting suggestions. “The
budget people may not bother
with $5,000 here or $10,000 there,
but to us, that represents a job,”
he added.

In the formal presentation of
the suggestions, no estimate of
savings was given, but some
CSEA officials fee] the measures
might cut about $5 million from
the county's budget.

‘The suggestions by the public
employees union, believed a first
in the state, came in the wake
of a call for a 10 percent reduc-
tion in expenditures by County
Executive Edward V. Regan.

Perhaps “several hundred”
county employees might feel the
effect of the reductions, adding
to the number of persons receiv-
ing welfare benefits, food stamps
and unemployment benefits, the
CSEA spokesman said.

Mr. Marr told Mr. Regan in
submitting the suggestions it was
the first step in what he hoped
was @ continuing dialogue be-
tween employer and employee
“to eliminate waste.” Mr. Regan
said he planned to submit the
proposals to his department

heads for review, with particu-
Jar emphasis in the social ser-
vice department, where stricter
economy measures were recom-
mended by the CSEA.

“I will formally encourage the
interchange between department
heads and employees,” Mr.
Regn said.

‘The 16-page packet of pro-
posals was gathered from presi-
dents of the chapter's units, Mr.
Marr said, adding he planned to
seek further suggestions from
employees in a chapter news-
letter. He also recommended re-
viving the idea of suggestion
boxes in county offices to en-
courage employees to submit
cost-cutting ideas to their em-
ployers.

A union spokesman said most
of the proposals submitted to
Mr. Regan involve increasing
Productivity through more effi-
cient scheduling of personnel
and greater use of “in-house”
capabilities. Some departments,
he said, have contracted out
work that could have been per-
formed by other departments at
one-tenth the cost, while in oth-
er cases county vehicles reserved
for administrators remain parked
all day while employees use their
own cars on county duties and
submit mileage vouchers of more
than $100.

gs Mahopac District’s Unit

Contract Holds A 12.8%
Hike, Variety Of Fringes

MAHOPAC—The Mahopac Central School District unit
of the Civil Service Employees Assn, has won a contract
after nine months of negotiating.

The approximately 75 workers in the unit won an aver-

age 12.8 percent raise in the one-
year contract retroactive to July
1, 1975.

Cafeteria workers get a mini-
mum 9 percent raise while cler-
feal staff got & minimum $750
hike. Ten incremental steps for
the clerical workers were reduced
to three, and cafeteria workers’
incremental steps went from five
to two. The cost to the district
was approximately $50,000, ac-
cording to CSEA field represen-
tative Lawrence Scanlon.

Unit president Mary Ellen Tul-
per noted, “I am quite pleased
with the total contract, The bar-
gaining team didn’t panic when
July 1 passed and were still
without a contract. They stuck
it out and waited until we had
@ package they thought was fair
and equitable to all the members
of the unit.”

Tn the area of fringe benefits,
the new contract guarantees
cafeteria workers will be pald
for 180 days a year, up one day
from the last contract, Also, all
employees will receive 13 paid
holidays, an increase for 10-
month and ll-month clerical
workers. Longevity payments will
be made on each employee's an-
niversary date, rather than at
the end of the year in which it
is due.

Emergency Pay

Vacation credits will also ac-
crue on the individual's anniver-
sary date,

The contract also provides
that when school is dismissed
early due to an emergency, any-
one working beyond the dismis-
sal time will be paid double-time.
Ten-month employees got an ad-
ditional two days of paid leave,
bringing their total to 14 days.
Other employees in the unit stay
at 15 days of paid leave under
the new pact,

‘The “special sick leave” provi-
sion in the contract gives an em-
ployee up to 30 days of sick leave

if he uses up all his accrued
sick time. The district previously
required 20 years’ experience or
50 years of age, to be eligible for
this benefit. The new require-
ments are 15 years’ experience or
40 years of age. The union mem-
bers will now be paid for half
of thelr unused sick leave upon
death or retirement, if they have
more than 10 years’ experience;
and for 25 percent of their un-
used sick leave if they have less
than 10 years’ experience. This is
@ new section of the contract.

Promo Preference

The promotions procedure was
changed to ensure that prefer-
ence must be given to the most
senior employee who meets Clvil
Service qualifications, Seniority
shall also be the deciding factor
in transfer proceedings, under
the new contract. In anoth
clause, non-competitive and la~
bor-class employees are guaran-
teed the same rights as competi-
tive employees regarding layoff-
and recall-procedures. Also, la-
bor-class workers were given
tenure after six months employ-
ment.

The uniform allowance went
from $25 to $35, and mileage
Jumped from 12 cents to 15 cents
& mile and part-time clerical
employees will receive pro-rated
benefits under the new CSEA
contract, Finally, time worked
after 190 days will be guaranteed
overtime,

The contract also calls for
binding arbitration on all con-
tract grievances,

Additionally, any employee
called upon to do out-of-title
work will be paid at the higher
rate from the first day of such
work.

“All credit goes to the Maho-
pac CSEA negotiating team for
this contract,’ Mr. Scanlon said.
“They made all the right decl-
sions through many months of
negotiating.”

Ms. Tulper pointed out that
fact-finder was called in, but his
services were never required.
“The mediator went in and
spoke to the board of education
for an hour and a half, and he
must have convinced them that
the employees were in the right,"
she said, “We settled the con-
tract shortly after that.”

Psychiatrist Alleged Overtime
himeet Added To PST Demands

CENTRAL ISLIP—A demand for the correction of alleged overtime and compensa-
tion abuses suffered by psychiatrists in state facilities has been added to the list of em-
ployee demands that the Civil Service Employees Assn.'’s Professional, Scientific and
Technical Unit bargaining team will present to the state.

The union is using data sup-
plied by Central Islip Psychi-
atric Center psychiatrist Leslie R.
Eber, who alleged “unfair and
possibly illegal" exploitation of
psychiatrists around the state.

Dr. Eber submitted his data
to CSEA in a five-page analysis
including duty schedule and time
and accrual record displays. Dr.
Eber made his study on behalf of
35 psychiatrists at Central Islip

and psychiatrists at psychiatric
centers across New York State.
According to Dr. Eber, time and
accrual records indicate that all
professionals in psychiatric cen-
ters are supposed to work 35
hours a week. This standard is
applied to doctors, unit chiefs
‘and some psychiatrists in state
hospitals, However, he said, duty
schedules show that ward psychi-
atrists I and II's have to perform
night duties twice a month, That
means, he claims, that they per-
form 24-hours of uninterrupted
work twice a month.

Ward psychiatrists work “seven
hours—plus an hour for lunch—
from 8:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. every
day as well as two night shifts
each month from 4:30 p.m. to
8:30 a.m. the next morning, That
cycle can occur on weekdays,
weekends, or holidays as as-
signed,” Dr. Eber noted.

“We work 16 hours overtime
on duty days twice a month. Pro-
rated to a weekly basis that in-
creases our weekly working hours
to 42, the highest for any New
York State employee," sald Dr,
Eber.

Workers in other categories oc-
casionally work as much as 42
hours per week but they are paid
overtime and/or holiday differ-
entials, he claimed. Dr. Eber
further stated that in the state
hospitals, ward workers, nurses,
psychiatric aides and others re-
ceive overtime payments and
night and holiday differentials
if they do such work. Psychia-
trists I and II do not.

“If night duty comes after a
full day's shift work, we are en-
Utled to be off the next day's
shift. That means that for the
16-hour double night shift over-

time, we receive only seven hours
off, For the remaining nine
hours we do not receive any
compensation. In addition, psy-
chiatrist II's do all the hospital
administrative duties during all
nights and on all weekends and
holidays as unit chiefs, the regu-
lar administrators, are off during
those periods of time,” Dr. Eber
said.

“We want just and fair com-
pensation for the work we per-
form above the basic 35-hour
week. We want the state to give
us overtime pay, night differen-
tials, holiday and possibly week-
end differentials for the two 16-
hour night shifts we perform
each month. We do not object
to the present working conditions
if the compensation for the work
we perform {s adequate and
equitable," Dr. Eber added.

Paul Burch, CSEA collective
bargaining specialist and coordi-
nator for the CSEA PS&T bar-
gaining team, observed: “Dr.
Eber's excellent documentation
and analysis will be @ great help
when we bring this demand be-
fore the state.”

Danny Donahue, president of
the Central Islip CSEA chapter
commented, “We are extremely
Pleased that more doctors are
participating in the union's ac-
tivities. We are setting up a spe-
cial liaison with the doctors at
Central Islip to insure future
participation and to better serve
their needs. Medical people are
an important part of the CSEA
membership and a key to our
united front of employees from
professional ranks and wards
against the anti-state employee
tactics of the present adminis-
tration in Albany.”

On Shop Worker Layoffs

ALBANY—Civil Service Employees Assn, executive vice-
president William L. McGowan last week warned Mental
Hygiene Department Commissioner Lawrence C. Kolb that
any layoffs of industrial shop employees in various state

institutions “will result in viola~
tions of Article 25 of our CSEA-
State Institutional Services Unit
contract.”

Should such violations occur,
Mr, McGowan told Dr. Kolb in
@ letter, the situation “will re-
quire our filing a grievance and
demanding arbitration to protect
the interests of our members as
guaranteed under the work con-
tract referred to.”

‘The shops produce mattresses,

ments, sheets, pillow cases and
other items. They also perform

“Aside from the state violating

wrote, “we seriously question
whether this ts being done for

vice we have received, we are

state more to purchase the items

industrial shops in state insti-
tutions than it has cost the state
to staff and maintain these shops
in the past.”

Mr. MeGowan’s letter urged
Commissioner Kolb to investigate
the matter, “and prevent the
layoff and dislocation of employ-
ees who have labored for the
‘state in good faith, believing they

Ag & Market Arbitration Is Set
On Daily Report Filing Grievance

ALBANY—The Civil Service Employees Assn. will go to arbitration on a grievance
filed against the State Department of Agriculture and Markets, according to CSEA Ag and
Markets chapter president Franklin J. Hubbard.

The grievance, he said, concerns the right of more than 450 Professional, Scientific

and Technical Unit employees in
the department to go about their
daily tasks “without filling out
demeaning and time-consuming
daily report forms.”

Mr, Hubbard said the issue
was settled originally in May
1974 when a similar grievance
was decided in favor of the
union.

Past practice and precedent
within the department had es-
tablished that Ag and Markets
employees in such jobs as food
and grain inspection and other
types of consumer-law enforce-
ment did not have to write up
times of arrival and departure,
mileage and other information
on each field trip they made
each day. When the department
tried to institute such record-
keeping on their part, the em-
ployees immediately filed a
grievance through CSEA, which
resulted in the May 1974 deci-

sion.

“But with the change in ad-
ministration has come a change
in commissioners and a change
in policy,” Mr. Hubbard said.
“Now the department is trying
to require all field employees to
submit @ daily report with ar-
rival and departure times for
each of their inspections or other
activities.”

Memo Issued

On Dee. 18, 1975, the depart-
ment’s director of administra-
tion, James L. Burnes, issued a
memo to all department direc-
tors saying that the written ar-
rival and geparture times would
be required of all field staff as
of Jan. 5.

On Jan. 1, Mr, Hubbard filed
a third-step grievance on behalf
of his co-workers. Since Mr.
Burnes was the official making
the third-step decision, the

ynion, Mr, Hubbard said, was
not surprised when he found
against the union and in favor
of his own department,

Mr. Hubbard stressed the im-
portance of the issue to all state
residents, as well as to depart-
ment employees. “These people
are loaded down with paperwork
now,” he said, “An inspector
whose professional initiative
leads him to put in long hours at
one location so that he can
thoroughly check the quality of
milk sold to our children, now
has that professional initiative
inhibited because of the adminis-
tration’s ‘change in policy,’" he
said. “The department is imper-
fling the health and safety of all
citizens with its new require-
ments in this area,

“We decided to take this mat-
ter straight to arbitration,” Mr.
Hubbard said. “CSEA attorney
Marge Karowe is the lawyer
who will represent us. An ar-
bitrator will be assigned and we
will get going very shortly.”

Sent Letter

Mr. Hubbard appeared pleased
with the response from CSEA
on an issue that is so vital to his
department and sent a letter to
all CSEA Professional, Scienti-
fic and Technical Unit members
in his chapter asking them to
vote for the union in the on-
going representation election.

It reads in part, ‘I cannot im-
agine that 18,000 PS&T members
don't care who represents them.
Right now a demand is being
made for arbitration on an im-
portant issue to all PS&T em-
Ployees of the Dept. of Ag. and

many important items being ne-
gotisted on your behalf. I want
you to respond by getting off the
fence and voting for CSEA."
