lic employees retirement system.

tirement system prior to June
30, 1976, but did not, due to no
fault of their own, now have the
opportunity to sign up, according
to Bernard J. Ryan, director of
legislation and political action
for the Civil Service Employees

REPORT FROM THE PRESIDENT
CSEA Regards Agency Shop As Serious Responsibility

This is my first opportunity to ad-
dress those of you who are now pay-
ing the equivalent of the annual
dues of the Civil Service Employees
Association as the result of legisla-
tion passed this year in Albany.

The fact that more than half of
you quickly decided to enroll as ac-
tive union members is very heart-
warming, and I hope deeply that
this message will convince the re-
mainder of you of the great value
of joining along with the rest of your
fellow workers.

I do not intend to make this col-
umn a history lesson in past accom-
plishments. My aim is to demon-
strate that active unionism is more
than the headline-making accom-

We seek to respond to the needs of
today’s members.

Throughout the state we are doing
battle 52 weeks a year on work con-
tracts, grievances, job discrimina-
tion, unfair labor practices, pension
problems, violations of the Civil Ser-
vice Law, attempts at job favoritism
inroads attempted against the Merit
System—and this just lists a very
few of our activities.

In another area, I can say with
complete confidence that the Em-
ployees Association has done more
to raise both the public image and
pisos of the public employee

a professional person serving the
poopie than any other labor union
in the s' F

Future editions of The Leader will
explain in greater detail the many
benefits of active enrollment in
CSEA. This newspaper will also give
you_a weekly record of those big
and little things that go on to which
we referred above.

We regard your payments to us as
a serious responsibility, and we in-
tend spending that money on ser-
vices for you. With your active par-
ticipation, we can accomplish even
more, because the bigger the en-
rolled membership the bigger the
clout,

We've done a lot for you. Won't
you help us do more by giving us
the benefit of your active partici-
pation?

CIVIL SERVICE LEADER, Friday, December 23, 1977

MINEOLA — Local 830 has
served notice on Nassau county,
that the government's almost
25,000 employees are entitled to
both Martin Luther King Day
and Flag Day holidays in 1978

under the CSEA contract.
‘That will be two additional
holidays in 1978,

Notice was served by Nick Ab-

noted that the CSEA contract

Salary Raises Costly

MANHATTAN — New York
City can give its employees
raises, says the Citizens Bud-
get Commission in a Decem-
ber report but at the cost of one
eity employee for every $16,000
in increased wages.

Fiscal 1978 may have wage in-
creases costing $200 million, but
the Commission suggests this
could only be done at the cost
of 12,500 jobs,

“The reason for this,” the re-
Port states, “is the city does not
and will not have any net ad-
ditional funds whatsoever to add
to its present personal service
cost base."

‘The Commission says that con-
tinued federal aid is necessary
for the city’s financia! survival
The way to insure this ald is
forthcoming, according to the re-
port, if the city establishes a
“financial control mechanism" to
make sure the city starts the
year with a balanced budget, op-
erates on a balanced budget
basis, accounts honestly for the

any deficit within three months

after the close of the fiscal year.

A “financial control mechan-
ism,” as concelved by CBC, would
take the general shape of today’s
Emergency Financial Control
Board, Municipal Assistance Cor-
poration, or some such commit-
tee made up of state and private
economic advisors,

sion is an independent watchdog
group founded in 1932 by busi-
neas and civic leaders and sup-
ported by the business commu-
nity.

CSEA Suing Nassau

MINEOLA — Going to bat
against alleged abuses of the
CETA program, Nassau Civil
Service Employees Association
Local 830 has filed a lawsuit
against Nassau County demand-
ing that former CETA workers
Promoted to regular civil service
jobs be granted increments pro-
vided under the CSA contract.

The suit affects several hun-
dred former CETA workers pro-
moted this year,

The County refused to give
them increments, claiming they
are “new employees.”

The contract provides incre-
ments for all who were county
employees before the start of
the current year,

Nassau Local president Nicho-
lms Abbatlello sald the promoted
workers have been county em-

ployees since the day they were
hired under CETA. He noted that
the CETA program provides fed-
eral funds to the County to hire
and train workers. The CETA
employees are clearly not federal
employees, he said.

Mr. Abbatiello said the case
revealed a county attempt to
cheat a group of workers “who
would have no power to resist
except for the CSEA.”

ministrative Board of the Judi-
cial Conference—which controls
the court system —calling for
civil service exams “in order to
prevent the provisional appoint-
ment from continuing for a pe-
riod in excess of nine months.”

Judge Bartlett had maintained
it would be “impracticable” to
schedule an exam now because a
new job classification for the
courts is under study. He said
the senior court officer title
“may not exist” when the re-
classification is completed. He
added, the State Civil Service
Department has not drawn up an
examination,

Judge Greenfield said Judge
Bartlett’s arguments are “with-
out merit.”

“Even if the title is abolished,”
he explained, “individuals can
still be appointed to the title of
senior court officer from the
eligible list and then be reclassi-
fled according to whatever plan
is ultimately adopted.”

He added. “The court is con-
fronted with a situation where
there has clearly been an undue
delay in ordering an examina-
tion for the title of senior court
officer.”

Judge Greenfield conceded
there was insufficient time for
the exam to be offered by Dec.
17, the tentative date for the
test, but he said it should be
held within 60 days after a for-
mal request has been made to
the Civil Service Department.
‘The request for the exam should
be made “as soon as possible,” he
ruled,

He ordered the Administrative
Board to establish senior court
officer eligibility lists within 20
days after the exam and to fill
the vacancies quickly.

Allow Premium Pay
For Nassau Holidays

MINEOLA —In response to a Civil Service Employees
Association request, Nassau County Executive Ralph G. Caso
last week made it discretionary for department heads to
grant premium pay for those workers whose shift calls for

them to work on Christmas and
New Year's Day.

Nicholas Abbatiello, president
of Nassau County CSEA Local
830, pointed out that Christmas
and New Year's Day each fall
on a Sunday this year. The CSEA
contract states that any holiday
occurring on Sunday shall be
celebrated on Monday. Shift
workers who work on Sunday
shall receive holiday pay and the
day off on Monday. The contract
stipulates also that employees be
allowed a personal day for re-
gious observation.

“This would leave institutions
that run on a 24-hour basis

Moore Appoints Region V Committees

SYRACUSE—Committee appointments for Civil Service
Employees Association Central Region V have been an-
nounced by Region president James J. Moore.

Although chairmen and committee members were named

for 17 committees, names are
still being accepted for social
service and civil service commit-
tees, Mr. Moore said, For these,
each county Local has been re-
quested to appoint their own
representatives,

Mr. Moore grouped the com-
mittees under three headings:
departmental, standing and spe-
cial.

‘The departmental committees
are:

File Improper Practice
Against Clifton Park

ALBANY—Capital Region IV of the Civil Service Em-
ployees Association has filed an improper practice charge
a against the Clifton Park Town Administration for attempt-
ing to persuade the town employees not to affiliate with

the CSEA.

Earlier this month the town
supervisor, attorney, and some
members of the Town Board
attempted to coerce employees
not to join the CSEA, Capital
Region supervisor John Corcoran
charged. Such action would be
in direct violation of the Taylor
Law.

“CSEA is prepared to fight
such illegal anti-union actions
by elected officials openly and
honestly. We will not allow
abuses of public employee rights
to continue,” Mr, Corcoran said.

Events leading up to the al-
leged attempt to prevent CSEA
membership began Nov. 3 when
the CSEA requested voluntary
recognition as sole and exclusive
bargaining agent for the Town
of Clifton Park employees. On
November 28, the Town Board
rejected the request for yolun-
tary recognition,

The CSEA filed a formal Peti-
tion for Certification with the
Public Employment Relations
Board with all necessary infor-
mation on Noy, 29,

According to Gregory Davis,
CSEA field representative, the
PERB will assign a trial exam-
iner to determine if a unit is
needed and will hold a hearing
between the Town Board aad
the CSEA, where the Board will
again be asked to grant vol-
untary recognition. If it refuses,
said Mr, Davis, the PERB will
then hold an election among the
employees to determine if they
want representation.

The Clifton Park employees
currently have no union, but
have the right under the Taylor
Law to be represented by a bar-
gaining agent of their own
choosing.

the job of a non-union member
fired for honoring a picket line
during a 12-day strike.

The State Court of Appeals
unanimously ruled in favor of
the South Colonie Teachers As-
sociation. It said the validity of
the discharge of the clerical em-
ployee, a provisional, must be
submitted to binding arbitration,
part of a contract negotiated af-
ter the September 1975 strike.

At issue was a no-reprisal
clause in the contract, binding
both the school board and union
not to take reprisals against any-
one on either side considered dis-
loyal during the strike.

Some honored the teachers’
picket line and refused to work
and others reported to work dur-
ing the strike.

Women, Minorities In Top U.S. Jobs:

More Jobs, But Slow Progress

More minorities and wo-
men are in middle and up-
per grades of federal em-
ployment but their progress

has been slow, says Civil Service
Commission Chairman Alan K.
Campbell.

Mr. Campbell identified two

: serve 3
: with club soda :
: or on the rocks :
: with a kiss of lemon :

eeeeeeeeeeooeoeseeeseeeeeeeeee

factors which contribute to the
rate of growth. First, most jobs
at the middle and upper grades
are filled from within the federal
government, where the source is
largely non-minority and male,
Second, the size of the federal
work force has remained fairly
stable since 1972, and it is dif-
fleult to achieve affirmative ac-
tion objectives when there ls no
expansion in the work force, no
matter how much emphasis is
applied, he says.

A comparison of the particl-
pation of minorities in the fed-
eral and private sectors shows
that the federal government is
well ahead in overall employment
of minorities in professional, ad-
ministrative, technical, and cler-
ical jobs. The private sector,
however, has higher percentages

® Minorities accounted for 21.3
percent of all full-time federal
civilian employees in November
1976 compared with 21.0 percent
in 1975 and 141 percent in
1969.

® Women accounted for 30.1
percent of all full-time federal
employees in 1976, compared
with 29.8 percent in 1975.

© From 1969 to 1976, General
Schedule (white-collar) employ-
ment of minorities rose 37 per-
cent, compared with a 5 percent
increase for non-minorities. In
the same period, minority em-
ployment in wage systems (blue-
collar) jobs decreased to 84 per-
cent of 1969 totals and postal
service minority employment fell
to 82 percent of 1969 levels, but
these decreases were smaller for
minority than for non-minority
employment in the same period,

Comparing federal white-col-
lar employment in 1976 with
private sector employment com-
piled by the Equal Employment
Opportunity Commission in 1975,
the following results were noted:

® In professional occupations,
the federal group has a lower
proportion of women (20 per-
cent) than the private sector
group (30 percent), while there
are higher percentages of blacks
and American Indians in federal
professional employment than in
private employment. The other
minorities have higher percent-
ages of professionals in the pri-
vate sector.

® In administrative occupa-
tions, the federal service has ®
higher proportion of women (20
percent) than the private sector
(14 percent). The federal ser-
vice also has higher minority
percentages in these occupations.

SEX, RACE QUESTIONS ON JOB FORMS RETURNING

Questions about race, sex and ethnic background wil! again ap-

the Washington Post. The new system has the approval of President
Carter and many civil rights groups that were opposed to such
questions 10 years ago. Affirmative action efforts—hiring of more
women and minority groups members—is prompting the change. It
is necessary to keep track of how many people in these categories
are being hired say federal officials.

Conspiring Against New Yorkers
TS “impoverished” members of the New York City Coun-

cll, hardly able to make ends meet at $20,000 a year for
their once-a-week-or-so efforts on behalf of the city, have
voted themselves a $10,000 raise.

The Christmas gift they handed themselves has created
a furor throughout the city and is felt in many places out-
side what used to be called Fun City.

Some dissenting city council members are also outraged.
City labor union leaders, whose members were recently sub-
jected to hiring and wage freezes because of the city’s fiscal
crisis, are also angry. Some congressional leaders who soon
will have to decide whether or not to grant the city another
big loan are reportedly having second thoughts about it.

‘We must vent our anger too. Arrogant, selfish, greedy
and unconscionable are just a few of the words that come
to mind when we review this measure.

Perhaps if they were paid far less than city councilmen
in other large U.S. cities, there would be an excuse for their
action, but they are already compensated as well as some
of the best paid part-time officials in the country.

We are also displeased with Mr. Beame’s conduct in
the controversy. True, the Mayor opposed the measure from
the start and says he will veto it. But we cannot help feeling
he really does not mean it, His reasons for utilizing the
conventional veto, knowing full well it will be easily over-
ridden, instead of the pocket veto, are dismaying. Mr. Beame
says there are legal uncertainties in the pocket veto, which
is accomplished by merely doing nothing with a bill, and
we agree this-is true. Lawyers and City-Hall observers seem
divided over whether the measure dies or becomes law after
@ mayor sits on it for 30 days. We feel, however, that Mayor
Beame could better serve New Yorkers by taking the un-
certain approach rather than the road leading to certain
override, He has little to lose by pocket-vetoing the bill. His
comment that a pocket veto is an improper way of ap-
proaching the issue is indeed a sorry exit from City Hall.

There seem to be powerful forces, headed by some of
the city’s leading politicians, who conspire against the al-
ready hard-pressed citizens. We feel the council should re-
consider this unwise move, but we are realistic enough to
know it won't. We urge the Mayor to take a more
courageous stand against the council action, but we do not
believe he will. New Yorkers, we fear, are at the mercy of
many of those they trusted enough to elect but whose greed
causes them to forget the rules of accountability.

May we presume the City will treat its civil service em-
ployees as well in their contracts next year? (HAT.

The Perfect Christmas

NE day soon, we hope, at Christmas time, the world
will truly be the Christmas spirit,
Tt will be a time when all wars have ended, race hate

“and religious bigotry will have vanished, and corruption and

It sounds utopian, of course. We realize it will probably
never occur; nevertheless, we hope the world will make real

up trying.

to arguments for increased state

Leader Warren M. Anderson and
Assembly Minority Leader Perry
B. Duryea, Jr. Both Anderson

He recently convened a special
session of the Senate and pushed
through a $450 million tax relief
program. Obviously, Senate Re-
publicans are prepared to attack
the Governor's program to the
extent that it may fall short of

political and legislative phenom-
enon. During the years that Nel-
son Rockefeller was governor,
Senate and Assembly Democrats
expressed frustration because
Rockefeller vetoed many bills
after the Legislature had ad-
journed, leaving the Legislature
without an opportunity to over-
ride his veto. They vowed, as
part of the Democratic legisla-
tive reform program, that when
the Legislature finished its work,
it would not adjouurn but recess.
Under the recess procedure, the
presiding officer of each house

into a special session. Moreover,
when the Legislature réconvenes,
it is not limited in what it can
do, as is the case when the Gov-
ernor calls a special session.
When Governor Carey took
office, the Republicans gleefully
went along with the Democratic
reform program. Thus far, no
session has been reconvened to
override a veto. The only time a
Governor's veto was overidden in
this century occurred over the

No Valid Agreement

Recently, a dispute arose between the Port Washington
Union Free School District and the Port Washington Teach-
ers Association over the district’s abolition of several driver
education and nurse-teacher positions and its reorganiza-
tion of those programs.

The district contracted with a commercial driving
school to provide “on-the-road” instruction and created the .
new position of “driver education classroom instructor”
provide the classroom instruction. The district also created
several full-time and part-time “nurse-aid” positions with
no teaching responsibilities, Also involved in the dispute
is the district's reorganization of its home instruction pro-
gram. This program had been performed by the regular
teaching staff on a volimtary basis. Under the reorganiza-
tion, it was contracted to a tutoring service employing cer-
tified teachers.

The association challenged all three reorganizations
saying it was in violation of the parties’ collective bargain-
ing agreement and arbitration was demanded. The district Mat
was granted its motion staying arbitration in Nassau County
Supreme Court. The association appealed.

The Supreme Court, Appellate Division, Second Depart-
ment, affirmed the lower court’s decision and stayed the
arbitration. The court noted that the collective bargaining
agreement limited the arbitrator’s power “only to interpret
what the parties . . . intended by the specific clause in the
agreement which is at issue” and prohibits him from adding
to, subtracting from or modifying the provisions of the
agreement .. ." Hence, even though there existed an ar-
bitration clause, since there was no specific clause in
contract covering the subject matter at issue, the court con-
cluded that there existed no valid agreement to arbitrate
the subject disputes and arbitration was properly stayed.

ington Teachers Association, 398 N.Y.8.2d 171.

RECENTLY, PETITIONER was discharged as a police
officer after being found guilty of a number of charges aris-
ing from an incident in a Village of New Paltz bar in which
the petitioner was stabbed and another individual shot to
death. The Appellate Division sustained only five of the nine
charges and remitted the matter back to the board for re-
consideration of the penalty. An Article 78 proceeding was
subsequently instituted by the petitioner to annul the de-
termination dismissing him and to require the respondents
to conduct a new hearing on the question of penalty and
backpay. The Supreme Court, Special Term, Ulster County,
entered judgment denying relief and the petitioner appealed.

The Appellate Division, Third Department, held that
there was no merit in petitioner's contention that he was
improperly denied rehiring on the subject of penalty, The
court stated that when some, not all, charges are dismissed
by the reviewing court, it is proper to remit the matter for
reconsideration of the punishment, since the reviewing court

Improper Practice At Clifton Park

(Continued from Page 3)
‘In October, 16 employees, more
than the required percentage, ap-
proached the CSEA and signed
cards requesting representation.

“The workers were concerned
about benefits and job rights,”
said Mr. Davis. “They sought,
through the CSEA, to protect
and obtain these.”

Mr. Davis explained that the
employees have no guaranteed
benefits and could easily lose any
that they do have by a Board
vote. With no documentation of
the rights, he added, the first
thing the CSEA will do is nego-
tiate a contract.

He is optimistic about the out-
come of the petition, and said

that even if the Town Board

Form Albany Research Local

ALBANY —The Civil Ser-

vice Employees Association
Board of Directors has ap-
proved a request by 150
Health Research Inc. employees
in Albany to become a separate
Local.
The Albany employees were a
part of a statewide Local encom-
passing Buffalo, Roswell Park
and other areas throughout the
state.

As a quasi-private organiza-
tion, the HRI is partially funded
by the state and its employees

are considered to be state work-
ers.

“As part of the all-encompass-
ing statewide Local,” said Jack
Corcoran, Capital Region IV
supervisor, “the Albany employ-
ees were not getting the proper
service for such a large group of
members. They will now be
served more efficiently and are
expected to function effectively
as @ Local in their own right.”

Thomas Mitler is acting presi-
dent until formal elections are
held after January.

Some Questions And Answers
That Affect Judiciary Workers

The following questions are being
published in the Civil Service Leader
in an attempt to answer those inquiries
of judiciary employees from counties and
cities who were merged with the state
on April 1, 1977.

Although mass meetings have been
held in heavily populated areas, in-
dividuals in cities and counties may not
have been able to attend these informa-
tional meetings. Any further questions
may be directed to Pat Monachino, CSEA
collective bargaining specialist for the
Judiciary at CSEA Headquarters, 33 Elk
Street, Albany.

Q. How does Judiciary Law 220 af-
fect me?

A. Basically, you became a state em-
Ployee effective April 1, 1977. This
merger of county and city judiciary em-
ployees is an involuntary one; that is,
you did not have a choice in becoming
@ state employee. This was decided for
you by the New York State Legislature
as part of a “unified court system.”

Q. Who represents me as a new state
employee? I was previously covered
under a county or city contract.

A. Under Judiciary Law 220, if you
were covered under your county or city
contract, then whoever represented you
under that local contract continues to
be your representative. In most cases
the CSEA negotiated your county or
city contract, and CSEA has been offi-
cially recognized by the Office of Court
Administration as your official bargain-
ing agent.

Q@. What happens to my county/city
contract?

A. Judiciary Law 220 provided that
employees who were merged into the
state effective April 1, 1977, come into
the state with their local agreements and
the State of New York will honor your
agreement as if it were the contract
between you and the State of New York.
Your local contract will continue until
it expires or a subsequent state con-
tract is negotiated between the CSEA
and the Office of Court Administration.
When these negotiations occur, and a
subsequent contract is negotiated and
ratified, this newly negotiated state
contract will supersede your local agree-

to be in effect until a new con-
negotiated with the Office of
Administration.

ministration will approve all contracts
which were in effect prior to April 1,
1977 for payment by the State of New
York after April 1, 1977. If a subsequent
contract was negotiated, the Office of
Court Administration will approve such
contracts only if the terms and salaries
of the contract were reasonable and re-
troactive to any date prior to April 1,
1977. To be specific, if your contract
expires either June 30, 1977, or Dec, 31,
1977, court employees merged will not
receive the pay raise. The expired con-
tract will continue until a new state
contract is negotiated.

Q When will CSEA negotiate a new
contract with the Office of Court Ad-
ministration?

A, Under Judiciary Law 220, several
factors had to be settled before negotia-
tions could begin. As you are aware,
there were 131 separate jurisdictions
identified and each separate jur-
isdiction was considered to be a bar-
gaining unit. Judiciary Law 220 allowed
these jurisdictions to further merge and
form larger bargaining units. The final
establishment of bargaining units could
only come about through mutual agree-
ment between the CSEA and the Office
of Court Administration. The Public
Employment Relations Board (PERB)
cannot become involved in the process
of establishing different bargaining units
except with the consent of the CSEA
and the Office of Court Administration.
After several months of negotiations be-

resolution was reached. It was agreed
that bargaining units be established
along Judicial District lines as they
currently exist in the State of New York.
On Noy, 2, 1977, the CSEA wrote the
Office of Court Administration asking
for voluntary recognition of all the
CSEA-represented jurisdictions within
each Judicial District, and in the same
letter a demand for commencement of

ber 1977, and their findings were turned
over to the Office of Court Administra-
tion and the firm was discharged.

‘The task of reviewing the classifica~
tion survey falls on the Office of Court
Adminisration. This office is also charged
with the responsibility of assigning a
title, State grade and salary to all em-
ployees in the unified court system. This
survey also affects the State Judiciary
employees who were State employees
prior to April 1, 1977, so that all em-
Ployees will be covered by this process,

Q. When will we know what our title,
grade and salary will be?

A. There has been a change from the
Office of Court Administration's original
time table. It was found that after the
consulting firm was discharged, there
were Judiciary employees who were
missed, and as a result of this, the
classification survey was being done by
employees in the Office of Court Ad-
ministration. The CSEA has been as-
sured that the survey is close to 100
Percent complete.

However, the Office of Court Admin-
istration is near completion regarding
the assignment of a title, state grade

have been functioning as a court clerk
and you are classified as a senior sten-
ographer, you will know you are im-
properly classified.

In any event, if you feef that the
classification is improper, then file an
appeals form within 30 days of your
receipt of notification (the State will
provide information on appeals). Then
tell your CSEA unit representative and
eventually this information will be sent
to CSEA headquarters for analysis. The
CSEA will have input from all of New
York State.

Q. Will the CSEA represent me if I
put in a classification appeal?

A. Yes, the CSEA will provide resource
personnel to aid in processing meritori-
ous classification appeals. In addition,
litigation shall be provided for those
meritorious cases approved.

Q. Will my salary be held up if I file
an appeal?

A. No, Once the Administrative Board
gives its approval and funds are also
approved by the’ Legislature, the salary
assigned to you will continue until it
is altered by negotiations, a successful
classification appeal or by litigation.

Q. What salary grade will I be graded
on?

A. In Judiciary Law 219(b), there is a
salary schedule which is comparable to
the State of New York salary schedule
dated April 3, 1974, and will be the
salary schedule you will be graded on.

Q. What are salary schedules in 219-2
(a) (b) and (c) and do they pertain
to me?

A. Salary schedules 219-a, (a), (b)
and (c) are the salary schedules which
were negotiated by the CSEA for those
state Judiciary employees who were state
Judiciary employees prior to April 1,
1977, and represents the following:
(a) schedule—the original salary sched-
ule with the 5 percent added effective
July 1, 1977,

(b) schedule—the 5 percent schedule
with 4 percent added efefctive Oct, 1,
1977.

During negotiations the impasse pro-
cedure was needed to obtain the 14 per-
cent raise on the salary schedule. The
(a), (b) and (c) schedules have to be
negotiated for those Judiciary employ-
ees merged into the state on April 1,
1977.

Q. Is the CSEA capable of handling
Judiciary matters for me?

A. The CSEA has represented state
Judiciary employees since 1967. We have
experience with handling problems with
the Office of Court Administration. In
addition to negotiating an excellent con-
tract in 1977, the CSEA has also won
many grievances, arbitration cases and
law suits against the Judicial Confer-
ence. We are not afraid to confront and
tangle with the Court of Administration.
It is with 10 Years of solid experience in
handling Judiciary. matters that the
CSEA will now represent you as @ new
state Judiciary employee.

At Albany’s Mall Offices

CSEA Committee Exposes Potential Hazards At Lab Facilities

By DEBORAH CASSIDY

ALBANY — With the move
of some 11,000 state em-
ployees, mainly from rented
quarters in and around the
Albany area, to the new Empire
State Plaza beginning in 1972,
the question o/ safety has be-
come a major concern of the
Civil Service Employees Associa-
tion in Capital Region Iv.

Under the direction of Jack
Corcoran, regional supervisor, in-
dividual committees representing
the various agencies have been
formed to investigate and correct
safety problems. The committees
work with state safety commit-
tees chaired by safety heads in
each department.

Started In September

According to Mr. Corcoran,
several improvements have been
made since the committees first
started in September. At one
time, he pointed out, there was
no fire equipment in Albany to
handle a fire in the new mall,
but, upon the insistence of the
CSEA, several mini-engines were
purchased and housed in the
mall. The State is also conduct-
ing safety programs for employ-
ees on a regular basis, which in-
clude films and other materials
paid for by CSEA-negotiated
funds.

A major area of concern is the
Department af Laboratories and
Research where Ernst Stroebel,
Local 665 president, is vice-
chairman of a committee con-

“sisting of Jose Samson, Labs Lo-

eal executive vice-president; Al
Mead, Health Department Local
664 president, and Aaron Wag-
ner and Joseph Bakerian, field
representatives. According to Mr.
Stroebel, no serious problems
have arisen, but he and other
members of the committee have
pointed out a number of situa-
tions in which they could de-
velop.
Escape Difficult

Most of these exigencies are
found within the labs them-
selves: some lack space, while
others have wasted space; most
have one or no window, making
escape difficult in case of fire or
an implosion and allowing no
outside lighting; some lack
sterile hoods for working with
toxic chemicals and infectious
diseases; in some, flammable
Mquids are stored near flames,
and all lack gas extinguishers
and masks.

Robert Weinbloom, a chemist
who is Professional, Scientific
and Technical unit vice-presi-
dent for the Labs Local, ex-
plained, “We work with several
carcinogenic chemicals whose
effect on the human body is
subtle. You cannot see or smell

JOHN CORCORAN, JR.

gases from these chemicals, but
10 or 15 years from now, you
could develop a serious reaction
from them.” Mr. Weinbloom
maintains that there is a need to
isolate such chemicals and mini-
mize their effect.

Many of the labs currently
occupy the sub-basement of the
main building, and with others
moving in the future, Mr. Stroe-
bel is concerned that they will
not be adequately maintained.
He also fears the possibility of
the working force outgrowing the
labs.

“Unlike our previous quarters,
the hallways here are clear, but
with other labs taking up space,
we may soon have to store equip-
ment in the halls. It would cost
the State millions to update the
place if this happens,” he added.
Trapped In Basement

Safety problems outside the

labs include the lack of fire

ERNST STROEBEL

program,” commented Mr.
Stroebel.

Security is another issue. For
& while, anyone was able to walk
through the main corridor and
into the lab section. Since the
CSEA expressed concern about
this, all visitors are now com-
pelled to check in with a recep-
tionist in the main corridor and
are escorted by a staff member
to enter through a lower door
that is left unguarded.

‘The committee has requested
that a guard be placed at the
door and that employees and
management be allowed to enter
only with an ID card. The man-
agement has rejected this idea,
however, due to the cost factor
and the possibility of an em-
ployee forgetting or losing his
TD. Still pushing the plan, Mr.
Stroebel commented, “These are
not good-enough reasons. If you
have to work, you should be
responsible enough to keep track
of an ID badge.”

Mr. Stroebel mentioned the
usual problem of pilferage, but
added that employees have no
Place to lock up valuables. Lab
doors have locks with no keys or
no locks at all.

Alr Duct Clogged
The State has provided an
outside sitting area, known as
the central core, for employees
to use in the nice weather, but
they are not able to take ad-
vantage of it because children
throw down stones and other ref-
use from an upper level wall.
“The area is guarded,” said
Mr. Stroebel, “but not enough
to prevent this. The kids are

Where does the blame lie?

Committee member Jose Sam-
son commented, “The guys at
the upper levels and those at
the bottom are truly concerned
and are trying to change things.
But, it’s the middlemen who are
holding things up; it's the man-
agement.” He continued, “Man-
agement is placing more import-
ance on other matters. I guess
it's just human nature not to do
anything until an accident oc-
curs.”

In some cases employees them-
selves are to blame. The com-
mittee feels that because they
have worked in the same envir-
onment for so long, the employ-
¢es just don’t question it. Many
have become apathetic. All acci-
dents, for example, even a tiny
cut on a finger, should be at-
tended to and reported. Major
problems have developed from
minor accidents, and yet a sur-
prisingly large number go unre-
Ported.

Employee Awareness

Mr. Samson spoke of a case
where a woman developed a her-
nia from lifting boxes and almost
died in an operation when she
developed complications. Since
the incident was never reported
the woman received no compen-
sation.

“The committee has to push

MALONE—Franklin Coun-
ty Local 817 of the Civil Ser-

for more cooperation on the part
of the employees,” said Mr. Sam-
son. “But we can’t lead them by
the hand.” All employees know
where to report accidents and
how to contact the safety com-
mittee with any problems.
“For the most part,” conclud-
ed Mr. Stroebel, “the state safety
committee has been very coop-
erative, but there are so many
small matters to take care of
that we have to keep at them.
The State has budget limitations,
but the safety of the employees
should be a high-priority item.”

“Purpose of this training ses-
sion and grievance seminar will
be to present new information
and procedures to newly elected

gestions, facts and case histories

Suffolk Crossing Guards
Age Limit Raised To 70

HAUPPAUGE—Claiming it is no longer able to recruit people to work as crossing
guards because of recent salary and benefit cuts, Suffolk County announced that it is

raising the age limit from 55 to 70 for 35 new job openings.

Police Commissioner Donald Dilworth said last week the raised age limit would “give

retired persons more of an op-
portunity to participate in the
Part-time employment program.”

The new guards would be ex-
pected to work about three hours
a day; half that time in the
morning and half again in the
afternoon, and would be paid
$2.85 per hour. However, there
would be “no minimum time
guarantees and no fringe bene-
fits," Mr. Dilworth said.

‘The county has approximately
360 permanent crossing guards
and about 25 substitutes working
under the jurisdiction of the
police department,

Last year, the Civil Service
Employees Association Suffolk
County Local 852. agreed to give
up @ guarantee of four hours

Say Sullivan
Civil Service
Is Improved

ALBANY — Victor 8. Bahou,
state Civil Service Commission
president, has praised H. Leo
Davidoff, Sullivan County per-
sonnel officer, for “appreciable
improvement” in the administra-
tion of civil service in that
county.

“Commissioner Gambino (Civil
Service Commissioner Josephine
Gambino) and I commend you
for the appreciable improvement
in the administration of civil
service for Sullivan County and
we wish to extend our best wish-
es for you continued success,”
Mr. Bahou wrote after receiving
& management survey on county
civil service operations.

Management surveys are de-
signed to help local civil service
agencies perform their work more
effectively, say Commission of-
ficials.

work daily, and fringe benefits
including insurance and hospi-
talization to keep the guards as
part of the county government.

“The inability of Suffolk to
recruit guards proves our con-
tention that guards perform a
dangerous, tough and valuable
service working in traffic to guar-
antee the safety of our young-
sters,” commented William Lew-
is, president of Local 852.

He added that the guards who
have already left the service be-
cause of salary and fringe bene-
fit cuts were right when they
claimed that a private security
company which bid for the job
would not be able to attract qual-
ified personnel through a mini-
mum wage.

For the past two years, Suffolk
County, under the leadership of
County Executive John V. N.
Kein, has tried to subcontract
crossing guard services to pri-
vate contractors. The Suffolk
County Legislature, after a vig-
orous campaign by the crossing
guards and the CSEA, rejected
the proposals and retained the
guards.

Mr, Lewis said that by extend-
ing the eligibility age the coun-
ty was misleading and taking
advantage of its senior citizens.

“Our senior citizens are a
proud group who will do any-
thing to prove their usefulness,”
Mr. Lewis said. He continued,
“guarding school crossing is
dangerous and the county is mis-
leading senior citizens if it says
it isn’t. The cold and the dangers
of speeding traffic, to say noth-
ing of children dashing in front
of on-coming traffic, are ne
the problems they will face,” he
said.

Meanwhile, in New York City,
74 mew school crossing guards
were sworn in recently, They will
be paid $2.80 an hour under the

‘hensive Employment and
Training Act. The city plans to

hire 1,000 guards, thus freeing
police officers assigned to school
crossing to perform other duties.
The school-crossing guards were
eliminated in 1975 during the
City’s fiscal crisis. New York has
experienced problems with CETA
personne! used as crossing guards.
‘Two public school security guards
were arrested on felony charges
in recent weeks,

“This just proves another
poirit. School guards who are
part of the civil service system
are dedicated and of a higher
caliber because they are sub-
Ject to strict regulations,” Mr.
Lewis said. “Most of our guards
are long-time residents of the
neighborhoods they serve and are
well-known to the children,” he
added,

Arbitration Rights

(Continued from Page 4)
that the grievance machinery did
not apply to her because she was
not a union member.

‘The school district asked for a
stay of arbitration in State Su-
preme Court and before the Al-
bany Appellate Division. Both
times it failed. As a last resort,

employer may adversely affect
the position of its own mem-
bers.”

He said the no-reprisal clause
had a direct bearing on “mem-
bership morale, future bargain-
ing effectiveness and the poten-
tial impact of these on the terms
and conditions of employment of
its members.”

The court also rejected the
school district's claim that Ms.
Landau, because she was a pro-
visional employee, is subject to
“removal at will” and outside
any contractual protection.

“If it can be demonstrated to
the satisfaction of the arbitra-
tion tribunal that the reason for
dismissal was one in violation . .
under the no-reprisal clause,”
the court concluded, “this viola~
tion could form a basis for de-
termination that the discharge
was wrongful.”

Revamp U.S. Personnel System

WASHINGTON, D.C.—“We
believe that the federal per-
sonnel system in its present
form cannot respond to the
need to improve public service,”
stated Alan K. Campbell, US.
Civil Service Commission chair-
man.

Dr. Campbell, speaking in
Washington recently to the
American Society for Public Ad-
ministration, said that the pre-
sent system satisfies neither
management, nor employee, nor
public interests, and that recom-
mendations for change—begun in
June—will go to the President
this month.

“We have presented a progress
report to the President,” he said.
“He agrees with the basic con-
cepts, and has given us the go-
ahead to develop specific legisla~
tive and reorganization proposals.
“He feels that the lack of at-
tention to management has, over

time, resulted in a decline in the
ability of the personnel system
to respond to changing programs
and to advances in management
theory and techniques.

“When the work on the Fed-
eral Personne] Management Pro-
ject began six months ago we
had to address three basic prob-
lems:

© There be greater flexibility
on the management side, and
that obstacles to effective man-
agement, which had developed
over the years, must be removed.

© The problems associated
with the merit abuses of the
previous administration, and the
need is to at least make those
kinds of abuses more difficult
or more visible than before.

© The view of management
that the employee appeal process
is biased toward employees, and
the employees’ view that it is
management dominated.

ALBANY—The State Civil Ber-

Candidates should contact the
commission at 26 Federal Plaza,
Manhattan, for details.

Dr. Campbell said that the
horror stories about government
employees so popular with the
media do not prove that federal
employees are incompetent, or
lazy, or freeloaders, but rather
that management effectiveness,
in such cases, is nonexistent, or
that the personnel system cannot
cope with today's public man-
agement issues.

“We must improve the pub-
Me service, both in reality and
perception,” he said. “I am con-
vinced that the quality of our
society 1s determined not only
by the quality of its public in-
stitutions but also by the people's
views of those institutions.

“Once our final recommenda-
tions are completed, the real
work will begin. Convincing all
the relevant constituencies of the
need for change will be no easy
task. Improving personnel man-
agement is not the kind of issue
which causes people to man the
barricades or even to consider
when voting on election day. It
is our job to demonstrate the im-
portance of people and personnel
systems to quality government,
to quality service, to responsive
and alert public institutions, Our
public administration community
has not faced this kind of a
challenge in a long time,”

GO TO HEALTH

By WILLIAM RB. WILLIFORD

Sensible Dieting

If you are thinking about starving off those post-holiday pounds,
read on.

First, if you are fat it's probably not the result of what you
ate from Thanksgiving to New Year's but rather from New Year's
to Thanksgiving. Simply stated, you didn't get
pleasantly plump overnight and therefore don't
expect to lose pounds, and keep them off, with
the latest wonder diet.

We are a nation of diets, Those that are
the most popular and sel] the most books are
the ones that promise quick results and are sim-
Bey ple to follow. For example, when hungry, eat
ka) grapefruit. The latest in the fad diet parade
couldn't be simpler—don't eat. As the motto
f goes, what could be faster than fasting. Fasting
is now the in thing to do whether or not you

are fat.

So what should you know about fasting?

It works! It also can be dangerous, Jean Mayer, a renowned
nutritionist, states, “The body, designed for physical activity, is
simply not meant to cope with long periods of complete abstinence
from food.” G. C. Duncan, of Philadelphia, studying fasting patients,
found a high level of uric acid in their bloodstreams, a condition
that can lead to kidney or bladder stones. A few of his patients
developed ulcerative colitis and mental depression.

Another negative side to fasting is that the body begins to
break down its own muscle and tissue proteins to get glucose (the
body's source of energy). One study reported that after a one
month fast, subjects lost an average of 14 pounds of lean body
tissue. The goal of the diet should be to burn up fat tissue, not
Jean body tissue.

Fasting under carefully controlled conditions and under super-
vision of a reputable specialist has value in assisting markedly
obese patients. The do-it-yourselfers should realize that fasting, like
any other extreme diet, can present serious health problems,

The key to a good diet, as with many things in life, is moderation!

Returning to his home base, Civil Service Employees Association president William L. MeGowan
completed his meet-the-people tour of the union's six regions Dee. 9 at the Western Region VI
office in Cheektowaga, Typical of rank-and-file response wherever he went, there were lines of
people waiting to see him at the start of his 15-hour day, from 9 a.m. to midnight. A blizzard hit
the area in mid-afternoon, however, and sharply cut the total who turned out. Here Mr. Mc-
Gowan, accompanied by his secretary, Jeanne McGarry, hears opinion of a member.

Region IV Plans Support

For Salvation Army Fund

ALBANY—As chairman of a labor committee set up to assist the Salvation Army
building fund campaign, William McGowan, president of the Civil Service Employees Asso-
ciation, is asking all public employees to support the campaign through a payroll deduction

program.

ness day on Dec, 30, because Dec.
31 is a Saturday. The forms, fur-
nished to various employers by
the retirement system, are also
available from the office of the
director of member services at
the Alfred E. Smith office build-
ing in Albany and should be re-
turned there when completed be-

fore Dec. 31.

Mr. Ryan also urged employees
to allow for delays in mail ser-
vice caused by the holiday sea-
son when filing affidavits by
mail.

Joseph McDermott, president
of CSEA's Capital Region IV,
and a member of the labor com-
mittee, has joined Mr. McGowan
in the effort, with plans to make
& special appeal to the members
in the Region.

Mr. McGowan will meet with
stafe and municipal governments
this month to set up the payroll
plan, in which individual mem-
bers will contribute $2 per month
for a total of $60 over 30 months,
for membership in the Corner-
stone Club.

According to Salvation Army
officials, the funds will be used
for updating and renovating
existing facilities in the City of
Albany and for the construction
of much-needed new facilities,

plus architectural and campaign
fees. Scheduled to be built are
activities, day care, senior citizen
and family services centers.

‘The Salvation Army does re-
ceive funds from the United
Way, but the money is desig-
nated for operating expenses and
cannot be used for building pro-
Jects.

Commenting on the payroll de-
duction plan, Mr. McGowan said,
“A precedent being established?
Certainly, but a good one. It is
one which will help our worth-
while community agencies rank
with the better ones in the state.
Besides, it is an established fact
that where successful capital
fund campaigns are conducted,
everyone is the beneficiary.”

Conditions Still ‘Poor’
At LIL. State Offices

HAUPPAUGE—Rejecting al
leged stalling by state represen-
tatives on Civil Service Em-
ployees Association demands that
the state correct polluted air
conditions at State Office Build-
ings here, the CSEA has sub-
mitted its grievance to arbitra-
tion.

‘The move came after lengthy
negotiations with officials of the
state Office of General Services,
which operates the building, in
which OGS officials had repeat-
edly promised corrective meas-
ures, according to union leaders.

Pollution caused by glassfiber
filters in air-conditioning ducts
had been corrected with the in-
Stallation of dacron filters dur-
ing the negotiations.

However, CSEA officials said
building temperatures continued
to be at wide variances from
normal working temperatures. In
some areas, temperatures were
near 60 degrees and in others
over 80 degrees.

The State agreed to install
emergency heating devices in the
lobby area, where a six-story
glass facade collapsed last winter
and has still not been replaced.
The state also agreed to imme-
diate expenditures to repair the
heating-cooling system on the
second floor, to remove gasoline
Pumps at the rear of the build-
ing which gave off fumes that
found their way into the air
