NO’ ON STRIKE ISSUE

ALBANY—In a very close mail ballot, state employee members of the Civil Service

Employees Assn. decided against a work stoppage set to start Monday, July 21, which could
have brought New York State government functions to a standstill.

The decision not to strike came the preceding Saturday after the CSEA State Ex-

ecutive Committee had been call-
ed in to make an official de-
termination because of the close-
ness of the vote.

Out of the approximately 50,-
000 ballots tallied on Priday, July
18, the expected relonse date of
the voting outeome, 53 percent
were against and 47 percent
favored a strike.

After reviewing the results
during a heated two-hour ses-
sion, which started at noon, the
Committee took the position that,
in keeping with the union's tra-
ditional practice of internal
democracy, the majority vote
must prevail in spite of the rele-
tively small numerical difference
in the ballot.

In @ short but clear statement,
executive vice-president William
McGowan immediately an-
nounced to CSEA’s membership
and the public that “on behalf
of the Executive Committee of
the State Division of CSBA, I
wish to advise our members that
after an honest count of the bal-
lots concerning the issue at hand,
& majority. of our members have
voted not to strike."

Ini additional comments to the
press, Mr. McGowan stressed his
conviction that the decision
against a strike st this time was
merely @ postponment in that
“come next April when the whole
state contract is up for renewal,
CSEA will be prepared to take s
stand like the public sector has
never seen anywhere.”

RAIN OR SHINE — baring the torrential rains and flood warnings, members of Westchester
County unit of the Civil Service Employees Assn. still trooped out in droves for thelr annual plenic
earlier this month at Ridge Park in Hartsdale. Sharing in the hearty repast and good fellowship were,

Long

Island Region | Leaders,

Rank And File, Attack State

AMITYVILLE—Leaders and rank-and-file members of the Civil Service Employees
Assn. throughout Long Island Region I last week bitterly denounced the state's unilateral

contract settlement.

At an emergency Region meeting and at special chapter meetings through last

week, the theme was that the
state has robbed the civil service
of any feeling of security

At the start of the week, a
majority of chapter presidents
reported at the emergency meet-
ing that their membership had
already indicated support for»
strike, if necessary. Other chap-
ters met throughout the week.

Members expressed regret that
the state had forced the issue
to the point of discussing strike.

However, confidence in the sin-
cerity of both Gov, Hugh L.
Carey and the majority of the
Legislature had seemingly evap~
orated

“The issue ts your job security:
it Jsn't even the money any
more,” regional field supervisor
Edwin J, Cleary summed up after
the emergency meeting of chap-
ter leaders.

Tt was noted that Governor
Carey had reneged on campaign
pledges given to the CSEA con-
vention. He said then he favored
the right to strike where col-
lective bargaining fails and en-
dorsed a cost-of-living increase
as a minimum for public em-
ployees

CSEGRA.

‘There was also bitter denuncia-
tion of the Legislature's gener-
osity with itself in raising sala-
ries and expense allowances
while going along with the Gov-
ernor’s formula for employees.

“We have more reason to strike
now than last April,” noted Dor-
othy Rabin, president of the
State University at Old West-
bury chapter, She argued that
CSEA had patiently and in good
faith exhausted ali requirements
of the Taylor Law, only to be
challenged with extreme provo-
cation by the Governor and Leg-
islature.

“They have made a mockery
of the Taylor Law,” agreed other
leaders, referring to the Gov-
ernor and the Legislature

They agreed that the employ-
ees’ only defense was in concert-
ed union action. “Our clerical
People are not thrilled at the
idea of strike, but if we have «
vote to strike I guarantee every-
body will be out,” declared an-
other chapter leader.

‘The disillusionment and dis-
taste for the state's conduct of
negotiations left a taste that,

Lindenhurst's Unit
Holds Installation

LINDENHURST—The Lin-
denhurst Memorial Library
unit, Civil Service Employees
Assn., recently installed its
officers for the coming two-year
term including Lucille M. Knapp,
president; Sandra Purins, vice-
president, and Mrs, Richard
Rebman, secretary.

‘The installation ceremonies
also served to celebrate the
unit's mew contract with the
Ubrary’s board of trustees. Sal-
aries were the only item negoti-
ated and the unit members rati-
fied @ 10 percent ingrease, plus
increments, and also won an
agreement to adjust the salaries
of part-time workers propor-
Uonately. The board, however,
did not accept a unit proposal
to pay the part-timers the same
hourly rate as full-time workers.

The unit's negotiating team
consisted of Ms, Purins and Ms,
Rebman and were assisted by

CSEA field representative John
Cuneo.

Poughkeepsie’s Unit
Files PERB Charges

POUGHKEEPSIE—The Poughkeepsie unit, Civil Service
Employees Assn., has filed an improper practice charge
against the City of Poughkeepsie charging failure to bar-

gain in good faith.

Roger Kane, collective bar-
gaining specialist for CSEA, sent
& letter to the Public Employ-
ment Relations Board in Albany
last week detailing the charges
against the city,

‘The unit, representing more
than 200 city workers, maintains
the city “has made no attempt
to come to an agreement on a
new CSEA contract.”

Mr. Kane said, “We met with

the city's negotiators on June
1, and we made an offer to

John Donahue. He said he'd talk
it over with the city council. It
has mow been five weeks, and
we still have not heard from the
eity on our offer. This kind of
stalling tactics is a blatant vio-
lation of the Taylor Law, which
requires bargaining in good
faith.”

Negotiations for the city work-
ers’ contract begun last fall.

PERB is expected to assign a
hearing officer to the case short-
ly, and to set up a date for a
hearing on the CSEA's charges.

Negotiations Bring Labor
Peace At Suffolk Center

MELVILLE—A series of disputes over alleged contract
violations were settled in negotiations at the Suffolk De-
velopmental Center as employees staged a recent wildcat
walkout, according to Joseph LaValle, president of the in-

stitution’s chapter of the Civil
Service Employees Assn.

The brief walkout ended in
less than a day as Mr, LaValle
and CSEA Albany staffers, who
flew to the scene. hammered out
an agreement with Jack Mashi-
kian, director of the institution
for the retarded

Mr. LaValle said the agree-
ment provided for payment when
due for authorized overtime, ob-
servation of the three-day walt-
ing period before medical certi-
fication is required for sickness
and cessation of assignment of
split days off.

Mr. LaVuile said that the
agreement on those pending is-
sues was enough to enable him
to persuade the wildeats to re-
turn to work, It was agreed that
they would lose a day's pay but
would not be charged with Tay-
lor Law violations.

The staffers, who had snarled
traffic outside the gates of the
institution early July 11, protest-
ed both the violations of the
CSEA contract and the state's
refusal to grant a compromise
6 percent wage increase.

Johnson’s Bill Would Clarify
School District Aid Amounts

WEST BABYLON—If State Senator Owen H. Johnson
(R-Suffolk, Nassau) has his way, school districts will know
by next May 15 exactly how much state aid they will receive

for the following school year.

Senator Johnson commented,
“School districts have been
forced to submit ‘wrtificial’ bud-
gets to yoters because of un-
certain state ald figures, In
March the legislature passed the
Governor's executive budget,
which unfortunately did not ade-
quately fund educatio®. Since
that time, I've been negotiating
for more school aid. This year
we were not able to guarantee
supplemental ald figures until

early July, the closing week of
the legislature.”

‘This year a record number of
school budgets went down to de-
feat because without the sup-
plemental aid data, the real
property tax rate was necessarily
inflated to compensate for the
uncertain additional aid. As bud-
gets were presented in May and
early June, the only guaranteed
state aid was that provided in
the March Executive Budget.

Report Of Joint State/CSEA
Committee On Layoff Units
Shows Progress Being Made

Members of the Joint State/CSEA Committee
on Layoffs Units have met four times since June
20, 1975.

A committee report was issued by CSEA com-
mittee headed by Victor Pesci following the July
10 meeting. It is reprinted below to inform CSEA
members on what progress is being made in the
continuing efforts to stop the layoffs.

CSEA staff and member representatives on
the Joint Committee presented the following
problems and inequities to the State members of
the Committee in attempts to reach agresable
solutions to such problems and inequities:

1, Composition Of Layoff Units

CSEA pointed out that present layoff units in the
Department of Correctional Services is a department-
wide unit wherein the use would be many layoff units—
one for each institution within the Department. We
accused the State of unilaterally changing the composi-
tion of the layoff unit in the Department of Correction
without prior consultation with CSEA,

After researching the details involving the ‘change in
the composition of layoff units within the Correction
Department, the State reported that the change from
several institutional units to one departmentwide unit
was effective as of June 3, 1971, some 14 or 15 months
prior to our agreement with the State on the composi-
tion of layoff units which was effective Oct. 1, 1972,

CSEA demanded that the State reconsider with us
the composition of present layoff units in State agencies
where layoffs have occurred or are occurring in order to
resolve the necessity for an employee having to geo-
graphically relocate in order to continue his state em-
ployment,

At a subsequent meeting, the State informed us that
the Governor's Office bas taken the position that there
should be no change in composition of layoff units
while layoffs are taking place. The State's position was
that changes in layoff units in affected state agencies
would create additional incquities and problems not
only for the State but for the employees as well, since
there would be varying sets of circumstances under
which employees in any given agency would be laid off

2. Consultant Contracts

CSEA requested a list of current consultant contracts
covering all state agencies and indicating the effective
date of such contract; the nature of the work to be
performed under such contract; the amount of money
already paid to consultants under the contract; the
amount of money remaining to be paid to consultants
under the contract, and, the termination date of the
contract,

At the June 30 meeting of the Joint Committee the
State indicated that it had sent a memorandum to
state agencies requesting this information with a dead-
line for returning such information to the Office of
Employee Relations on July 15, 1975. Upon receipt
of such information by OER, it will be transmitted
directly to CSEA.

s
3. Moratorium On Layoffs

‘The CSEA reiterated the request made by President
Wenzl to the Governor in a letter dated June 10, 1975,
that the State declare a moratorium on layoffs during
the deliberations of the Joint Layoff Committee with
the hope that inany inequitable steps could be resolved
before any more layoffs took place. The State's response
was negative to our request for a moratorium on layoffs,

4. Moratorium On New Hiriugs

CSEA also requested the implementation of a mora-
torium on hirings from: open competitive eligible Masts
until such time as all permanent state employees laid
off were rehired. The State's response to this request

viding the job was at an entrance level position for
which open competitive recruitment is appropriate.

5. Veterans’ Credit

CSEA explored with the State the possibility of
offering a veteran the right to Tefuse to use the 30 or
60 months seniority credits, as the case may be, if he so
desires, thereby reserving the use of such right to a
future layoff situation. The State explored the possi-
bility with the result that John Cross, counsel to the
Civil Service Department, reported that the law pre-
sently does not give such right to veterans concerning
layoffs. This right is given to veterans only with re-
spect to use of additional grades on promotional exam-
inations on a one-time basis.

6, Temporaries And Provisionals

CSEA demanded that all temporary and provisional
positions should be abolished before any permanent posi-
tions in the same title in any department are affected.

7, Seniority In Geographic Unit

CSEA put forth the contention that section 80.6 of
the Civil Service Law—“displacement in the State serv-
ies should be amended in a fashion that would pro-
vide for retaining the most senlor employee in his cur-
rent geographic work location rather than requiring
him to relocate while other employees with less seniority
remain in their same work location, Discussions on this
matter are continuing among the members of the Joint
State-CSEA Committee since it is most difficult to re-
solve and requires an amendment to the State Civil
Service Law which obviously cannot be enacted in this
session of the Legislature.

8, Reinstatement During Layoffs

CSEA demanded that there be reinstatement of in-
dividuals to state service during layoffs. The State has
not given us a definite answer on this item yet,

9 Right To Retreat

With respect to an employee's right to retreat to a
position he formerly held, in a case where he has no
bumping rights, CSEA indicated that the requirement
that his service in the position te which he is permitted
to retreat be satisfactory, represents “double jeopardy”
in that he had already been punished while filling that
position by losing his increments and his provisional
rights for one year, We ask that the requirement of
satisfactory work performance in the “retreat” title be
eliminated, The elimination of this requirement would
mean that section 80 and 8@-a of the Civil Service Law
would have to be amended.

Since legislation obviously can not be enacted during
this session of the Legislature, CSEA asked that the
State Civil Service Commission amend Rules 5.5 (4) and
5.6 62) to indicate that the receipt of an unsatisfactory
performance nm .ing for retreat purposes be limited to
the last year of service in the retreating position. The
State Civil Service Commission will consider our pro-
posal ut its meeting on July 23 and 24 providing we
submit in writing our request to the Commission ex-
plaining our position no later than July 11, We have
submitted such request.

10, Preferred List Location Preference

CSEA pointed out that the Labor Department was
using the preferred lst geographic location question-
naires for purposes of reassignment of employees prior
to layoff and subsequently submit the same question~
naires to the State Civil Service Department for the
purpose of indicating each employee's geographic loca-
tion preference for appointment from a preferred list.
‘This procedure wus very inequitable in that employees
were not given a second opportunity to indicate geo-
graphic for preference for a preferred list appointment
which might be more attractive to him than a reassign-
ment, We ask that all employees in the Department of
Labor be recanvassed specifically for preferred list lo-
cation preference and that all agencies be notified that
preferred list location preference questionnaires must
be separate and apart from any location preference
questionnaire used for reassignment. This has been ac-
complished, The wording of the State's descriptive to
its agencies is as follows: “Layoffs often require the

reassignment of employees to different geographic lo-
cations unless they wish to accept suspension and be
put on a preferred list. Agencies faced with layoffs
have been canvassing affected employees to determine
whether they will accept this type of reassignment, The
factors governing an employee's acceptance of a geo-
graphical location for reassignment are often different
from those which might be used when choosing loca-
tions which he or she might select for reinstatement
from a preferred list. Very often, when faced with the
actua} fact that layoff is a certainty, an employee will
greatly expand upon his original choices, It is im-
portant, therefore, that before you notify the Depart-
ment of Civil Service of employees who are to be placed
for preferred list location preference. This can be done
by using the attached suggested form “Preferred List
Employment Questionnaire.”

11, Lower Grade Relocation

CSEA indicated that the layoff procedure should
be amended to permit employees to make a separate
selection for a geographic location for appointment to
a lower grade title from a preferred list. Present pro-
cedure requires that an employee's name be removed
for consideration for appointment to a lower grade
title from all geographic areas except by one in which
he is employed once he refuses appointment to a dif-
ferent geographic area for lower grade position, The
State agreed to accomplish this by only removing the
employee's name for consideration in the geographic
region or area wherein he refuses appointment in a
county In that area where he had previously indicated
he would accept such appointment. This has already
been put into effect and we will receive a draft of the
lower grade geographic preference procedure shortly.

12, Residual Vacancies

CSEA indicated that residual vacancies in lower grade
positions should be offered to any qualified employees
regardless of the title from which he is laid off (eg.,
meat inspector filling a clerk's job), This is currently
possible under the transfer provision of Section 10.4 of
the Civil Service Law wherein a qualified employee may
request transfer to a vacant position and if such trans-
fer is acceptable to the agency from the transfer and
the agency to which transferred, the employee need
only take a qualifying test which is equivalent to the
Civil Service examination for the position in order to
be permanently appointed to the position, He need not
compete with other employees but only need qualify
by passing the test.

If he is on a preferred list, he may request transfer
vo a vacancy under Section 70.4 and only the approval
of the receiving agency is recognized in addition to the
passage of the qualifying test.

13. Meat And Poultry Inspection Program

Out of approximately 296 meat inspector positions,
the Stute will retain 55 positions for Poultry Inspection
purposes. Such positions belng offered to employees in
appropriate Meat Inspection titles from preferred lists
with no break in services since these positions will be
filled as of July 16. Some 170 of the state meat inspec-
tor personnel have received offers by the Federal Gov-
ernment to be picked up in a Federal Inspection Program,

14, Department of Correctional Services—ACTEC

The closing of the ACTEC Pacility has resulted in
the reassignment of all permanent personnel, with per-
haps one exception, to similar titles, practically all of
which are located at Clinton.

15. Department Of Labor

All permanent employees in the Employment Services
Division have been offered temporary reemployment
until August 31 in the Unemployment Insurance Division.

16, Creedmoor
Department of Mental Hygiene—Creedmoor—referred
to Jim Roemer (CSEA counsel).
Several items still under dicussion by the Joint Layoff

Committee and the next meeting Is scheduled for 0:30
am, on Tuesday, July 22.

TUESDAY, JULY Ex 1975 Re

The Double Deal

‘O MATTER what the members of the Civil Service Em-

ployees Assn, decide in the statewide ballot to determine
whether they will accept the $250 bonus or to engage in
strike action, there will be critics who will damn them

It Is a choice between being called lily-livered or irre-
sponsible.

How did it happen? In our opinion, it ts a situation
much like that of the Jews in Nazi Germany, No one could
believe such a catastrophe would happen

For decades the Civil Service Employees Assn had dealt
with a succession of governors and legislators with whom
there was a sense of fair play. Even after the Taylor Law
was put into effect, during the Rockefeller Administration,
the give-and-take of union negotiations proceeded with the
expectation that some sort of agreement would eventually
be reached

Thus, when Governor Carey dug his heels in, it was
generally regarded as political posturing to assure the gen-
eral public that he would be firm, Even after impasse was
declared, CSEA president Theodore Wenzl was slapped un-
mercifully by the news media throughout the state for
having urged a strike at that time

CSEA delegates decided to follow all the legal procedures
through to the end, feeling that their case was justifiable.

The union actually won the next round in that the
impartial fact-finding pane! recommended a compromise
that was accepted by the CSEA membership, After the Gov-
ernor still refused to budge from his previous stand, there
remained hope that the legislative committee would re-
affirm the fact-finders’ decision, After a long stalling period
(which seemed to be because of internal debate), the com-
mittee came out on the last days of the legislative session
endorsing the Governor's position, The Legislature passed
it, despite minority opposition, and scrammed out of town
with their Lulus in hand.

There can be no doubt that CSEA was outmaneuvered
in a game in which a new state administration made up
new rules as it went along.

However, whether or not there is a strike this week,
both sides now know the rules. The long partnership between
the state and its employees has been severed.

When the union faces the state in negotiations for a
new contract to take effect April 1, 1976, there will be no
monkeying around

After having been led to the slaughter house once, the
membership will be prepared for a last-diteh fight—and
their battle cry will be “Never Again.”

No one hates tne idea of a strike more than the em-
ployees. If the CSEA membership does decide to strike, it
will be because the Administration and the Legislature
have refused to bargain in good faith.

The frustration of being treated like garbage will cer-
tainly result in a much more militant union in the future.

Lulu'’s Back In Town

OW CAN anyone respect a Legislature that increases its

own budget by $6,000,000 (including more Lulus over
and above the salaries which are already the highest of any
state legislative body in the nation) while the rest of the
state’s employees —as wel! as those in many of its cities
and counties —are being told to make do?

Don’t Repeat This!

(Continued from Page 1)
the session ts that it was ob-
lged to operate in a crisis at-
mosphere. Firs: it was the
far-reaching nursing home in-
vestigation. Then it was the
threatened bankruptcy of the
Urban Development Corporation
and the legislative program that
was developed in a rescue opera-
tion,

This was quickly followed by
the announcement by the insur-
ance compiny that provided
medical malpractice insurance
for doctors and hospitals that it
would go out of business, Again
in a crisis atmosphere, high-
lighted by picketing in Albany
by physicians and surgeons, to-
gether with a suspension of prac-
tice by many of them, the Legis-
lature was obliged to put together
& program to weather that par-
teular storm.

Big Mac For Big Apple

Most pressing of all was, of
course, the fiscal crisis that
erupted in New York City, which
resulted in the creation of the
Big Mac as a vehicle for saving
the Big Apple

Thus the normal routines of
state work were subordinated to
the imperatives of crisis solution,
since those problems weighed
most heavily on the energy and
time of Governor Carey and the
legislative leaders. Moreover, it
may well be that these problems
will spill over once again into the
framework of the legisiative de-
bate and program at the next
session. As it is, there is already
some suggestion that a special
session may be needed for fur-
ther action with respect to the
City's fiscal problems.

Tn addition, the medical pro-
fesston 1s clearly dissatisfied
with the action taken by the
Legislature with respect to med-
ical malpractice insurance, In-
deed revolting doctors were mol-
lifted only through the appoint-
ment of a special committee by
Governor Carey to study further
the entire problem of medical
malpractice, with a view towards
making further recommendations
to the next legislative session.

Moreover, political considera-
Mons became an overriding fac-
tor in all legislative deliberations,
arising from Democratic control
of the Assembly, The political
alignment in the Assembly is 88
Democrats and 62 Republicans,
giving the Democrats 4 substan-
tial margin of 12 over the 76
votes needed to control that
body. Of these, however, some 25
members are first-term Assem-
blymen, who were elected hist
year in the wake of Watergate
and related scandals,

Some of the new faces in the
Assembly represent suburban and
‘ural districts that are normally
rock-ribbed Republican, These
legislators are deeply concerned
about their re-election prospects
next year and are anxious to es-
tablish records to give them a
fair opportunity for re-election
when they again face the voters,

Political Survival A Factor

Indeed this was the factor
which helped make it possible
for Senate Majority Leader War-
ren M. Anderson to hold the line
against the City’s fisca) program,
until he received commitments
from the Assembly Democrats
that they would support his pro-
posal to increase state aid to
education, principally in the
suburban and rural areas,

What was at stake in those
areas waa the need to put « lid

A Questioned Contract

A decision of the Appellate Division, Fourth Department,
brought into question the validity of a public employment
contract executed by a former sheriff and county manager
and approved by resolution of a County Legislature in Sep-
vember 1973.

The contract in question was supplemental to a general
sollective agreement which covered the employment of all
employees of Monroe County represented by the Civil Service
Employees Assn. The term of that contract was for a two-
year period from Jan. 1, 1973 to Dec. 31, 1974.

THE SUPPLEMENTAL AGREEMENT covered only the
sheriff's deputies and expired on the same date as the gen-
eral contract, L.e,, Dec, 31, 1974. The supplemental agreement
provided, “. . Sheriff's employees who have been em-
ployed by the sheriff{ for two years or longer shall not be
suspended, discharged or receive a disciplinary demotion
without just and sufficient cause.”

The petitioners in this case were five sheriff's deputies
who were demoted by the newly installed sheriff. They pur-
sued the grievance procedures set forth in the contract and
then initiated an Article 78 proceeding without going to
the final step, which was arbitration. The respondent sheriff
contended that the supplemental agreement was void be-
cause it was not legally adopted by the legislature, and even
if it was legally adopted, he claimed that his predecessor
could not legally bind him by executing that agreement,
Thirdly, the respondent sheriff contended that the peti-
tloners had failed to exhaust their remedies, which was ar-
bitration, and that arbitration was the sole grounds for
relief.

0: Met ike

THE COURT POINTED out that the petition, as drawn,
did not prevent a valid claim under Article 78 but treated
the matter as an action for a declaratory judgment which
the court is permitted to do under the liberal rule of pleading
now in effect. The court, in rendering its decision, discusses
the difference between local laws and resolutions. It held
that the subject matter of this agreement was within the
powers of the county governments, and therefore could be
passed by resolution.

The legislature could have acted by local law but chose
not to, The sheriff had the statutory authority to hire and
fire his employees. He gave up some flexibility in this respect
by agreeing to this collective bargaining contract.

ARTICLE 14 of the Civil Service Law provides that pub-
lc employers and public employees may execute employ-
ment agreements and that is exactly what was done in this
case. The county legislature was not authorizing or passing
upon the sheriff's acts or in any way limiting his powers.

It acted independently of the sheriff and only because
the subject matter of the contract required that a resolu-
tion be passed. The Taylor Law does not specify or limit
the period of public employment contracts with relation
to the term of office of those who negotiate them. Special

Term, after finding that the contract was valid, held as a
matter of law that the demotions of the petitioners were
disciplinary. However, the Appellate Division felt that the
meaning of the contract term “disciplinary demotion” was
not clear, and the finding that the respondent acted for
disciplinary reasons is not established by record. The Ap-
Ppellate Division therefore declared that the contract was
valid but remanded the matter to Trial Term for a hearing
to determine the right of the petitioners under that agree-
ment. Petition of Reese v. Lombard (five cases, 366 NYS

Albany Region IV Annual Workshop Attracts
Hundreds Of CSEA Members To Lake Placid

By CHARLES O’NEIL

LAKE PLACID— Albany Region IV, Civil Service
Employees Assn. held a three-dixy workshop, June 27-
29, here at the Lake Placid Club with nearly 200 Region
TV members attending. °

The three-day workshop program was prepared by
Richard Pila and Betty Lennon, co-chairmen of Al-
bany Region IV's education committee. The workshop
began Priday evening with the screening of « 30-minute
color film on negotiations, “Count-Down To A Con-
tract.” This wis followed by a discussion session
chaired by Mr. Pils.

Saturday's session’ consisted of two separate pro-
grams which were conducted simultaneously,

The Lodge's Agora Auditorium held a program pre-

sented by three faculty members of the New York State
School of Industrial and Labor Relations, Cornell Uni-
versity. This program dealt with negotiations from
preparing for the contract talks to consideration of
problem areas encountered in negotiations. The three
Cornell University faculty members were Rodney E.
Dennis, coordinator of public sector training, and
Ronald Donovan and Matthew Kelly, both professors of
industrial and labor relations at the University.

The other program consisted of a series of mini-
sessions devoted to a broad range of subjects. These
included the organizational structure of CSEA; leader-
ship; grievance investigation; labor-management meet-
ings; a profile of services available from CSEA; dis-
seminating information to the union membership, and

ways and means of organizing non-members. These
sessions were conducted by CSEA Region IV staffers
and officers.

‘That evening, a banquet, with theme of “The Roar-
ing 20's,” was held with Ron Townsend, newly elected
president of the CSEA Tax and Finance Department
chapter, serving as social chairman.

Sunday morning at the Lake Placid Club was given
over to a Region IV delegates meeting

During the three-day workshop, representutives from
the insurance firms of Ter Bush & Powell, MasterPlan
and Blue Cross/Blue Shield were available at the Club
to respond to questions posed by CSEA members on
their respective programs.

the return of 750 of the 1,658
firefighters laid off June 30.
However, the UPA charges re-
duced crews will mean additional
violations of the union contract,
which mandates five-man crews
for all companies. Since the lay-
offs began some companies have
been working with only four
men.
UPA president Richard Vis-
wini has already attributed the
deaths of two firefighters in July
to the reduced crews. He said
they were forced to do work of
more than one man.

At New Paltz SUNY

NEW PALTZ — The State

building was the scene of the
recent installation of officers of
the SUNY at New Paltz chapter,

Crans, second vice-president;
Edith Heasbrouck, recording sec-
retary; Elizabeth Kearney, cor-

the county and all over, but if
we stay firm and united we will
win,” Mr. Lennon said

‘The decision to remain united
was strongly endorsed by those
attending Iast week's meeting
This was emphasized when a
public employee who had pro-
visional status sald that she had
been informed by her supervisor
that if she took any part in the
strike, or even honored the pick-
et lines, she would lose her job.

‘Legally, they could dismiss »
provisional or probationary em-
ployee on certain grounds,” Mr.
Prank said. A woman at the
meeting moved that none of the
Dutchess employees would go
back to work unless every em-
ployee was fully reinstated tn
thelr Jobs,

This motion was
unanimously,

“Dutchess CSEA leaders can
go to jail for leading the strike
under both the Taylor Law and
@ general law,” Mr. Frank said.

‘But we are determined not to
honor any injunctions and are
ready and willing to go to jail
in order to win this strike,” he
added

Collective bargaining specialist
Manny Vitale outlined the his-
tory of the long negotiations for
the county contract, “We signed.
the county executive signed, and
the Board of Representatives
hasn't got a damn thing to say,”
he commented.

Mr. Vitale also said that money
has been set aside in the Dutech-
ess County budget for the 814
percent raise, “We have to stand

. Accident
Changes

Ernest G, DuMond, Chairman of the Civil
Service Employees Assn. insurance committee,
has received several letters from members ex-
pressing confusion over the benefit changes in
the accident and sickness program which were
approved by the Board of Directors to be ef-
fective July 1, 1974.

Changes that were recommended to the
Board of Directors by the former insurance
committee were selected from several alterna-
tives proposed by The Travelers Insurance Co.
to stabilize the adverse claim experience that
had developed on the case.

The Board of Directors concurred with the
recommendation of the insurance committee
that the best way to make the plan healthy
without changing premiums was to modify the
additional benefits which had been added to
the aceldent and sickness program at no cost
to the participants during past years when the
claim experience was satisfactory.

‘The changes that were made in these benefits
are as follows

1.‘There is a seven-day waiting period for

benefits payable due to sickness whether or
hot you are confined in a hospital, rather
than coverage from the first day if you were

And Sickness Benefits
Explained By Insurers

confined in a hospital for 48 hours or more.

If you are under 60 and have been insured
for at least one year:

2. The monthly benefit increases by 12% per-
cent for insureds paying plan I or plan IT
premiums, rather than 20 percent for plan
I and 25 percent for plan If as was form-
erly the case.
‘The sickness monthly indemnity benefit
(except for pregnancy) will be paid for 12
months regardless of how long your policy
has been in force, rather than increasing
to 24 months after your policy had been in
force for one year
4.The accident monthly indemnity benefit
will be paid for 12 months for on-the-job
accidents rather than 24 months, The acci-
dent monthly indemnity benefit for off-
the-job accidents continues to be payable
for life
Upon the recommendation of the statewide
insurance committee, a new rider describing the
additional benefits which apply to disabilities
commencing between July 1, 1974 and June 30,
1976, is being mailed to all individuals at the
time they file claims for benefits,

July Days: Thoughts For Firefighters

The first 15 days of July
have been the sort of thing
which firefighters will talk
about for years to come.

Mayors, commissioners and as-
sorted brass will have nightmares
about them, The
nightmares will
have some jus-
ufication and
damned little
sympathy from
just about any-
body. ‘This, sim- as
ply because the
whole ugly mess §
is mostly of

ing and the nightmares and
twinges of consetence are in the
opinion of this writer, decidedly
deserved.

Taking a look at the sorry
mess, first we find two firefight-
ers dead of heart attacks. Per-
fectly healthy men, one with
only seven years in the job, Fire-
man James Robertson had gone
to @ second alarm at 961 box in
Brooklyn on July 8 at 4:09 a.m,
He did what he was supposed to
do, but with reduced manpower
thanks to an “Implemented in-
novation" by the Commissioner,
Suddenly Jim Roberton, with
his whole life ahead of him, a
man with a college degree and
8 family, was dead

A few days before, on July 4th,
at a few minutes before mid-
night, Ladder 155 in Queens re-
sponded to an “all hands” fire
at Box 9246. The company work-
ed hard. They were shorthanded
thanks to the same directive.
When taking up from the fire,
the chief gave them one hour of
rest in quarters before going into
service, Adolph D'Ambrosio, vet-
eran of 19 years, a quiet man
who seldom pontificated about
anything but was sort of content
to sit and listen to the “young-

heart attack, Married with a
family, he was active in civic
matters In Ozone Park. A nice,
level-haaded, quiet man liked
and admired by his fellow fire-
fighters. There was an ironic
twist to Adolph's passing. The
newspapers that day were full
of details on the big story of
the day. It was all about a dead
horse who had broken Its leg in

Civil Rights Unit
Urges Shakeup

The US. Civil Rights Com-
mission 1s recommending the
abolishment of the Equal Em-
ployment Opportunity Commis-
sion and the creation of a new
agency with broad powers to en-
force fair employment laws.

‘The new agency, the National
Employment Rights Board, would
be given authority to issue
cease -and-desist orders and
power to order relief such as
back pay and affirmative action.

The rights board would also
take over tasks of several other
federal agencies including the
Civil Service Commission's im-
plementation of anti-diserimin-
ation orders, The recommenda-
tion was made in a 673-page re-
port issued last week. The re-
port said the federal govern-
ment’s effort to end employment
discrimination on the basis of
race, sex, and religion was fun-
damentally inadequate.

this fatal fire. Pire launch “Hac-

Women Vets
Win Equality

Female armed forces veterans
are eligible for the same benefits
as male veterans, says Prank V.
Votto, director of the New York
State Division of Veterans’ Af-
fairs.

Since women operate under
the same military and naval laws
as men do, they are entitled to
the same veteran benefits, he
said. Certain procedures vary,
such as the manner of providing
medical, hospital, and domicilmry
care, however, there is no dif-
ference in the standard of treat-
ment or the basis of determining
entitiement for veterans bene-
fits, he added.

For information and assis-
tance, female veterans should
contact the veterans’ affairs cen-
ter at 1910 Monterey Ave. or

turned a deaf car in the past.
