last week attacked a proposed Legislature study of pension
systems as a stall that could delay retirement improvements
for State workers for years. At the same time, all three again
bitterly attacked suggested cuts
from Governor Rockefeller's bud-
get that could delay a State pay
increase, deeply slash Mental
Hygiene Dept. funds and result
in extensive worker lay-offs.
The attacks came from CSEA
president Theodore C. Wenzl;
Irving Flaumenbaum, CSEA first
vice-president, and Solomon
Bendet, CSEA second vice-presi-
dent.
At Leader presstime, there was
still no denial that any or all of
the above-mentioned budget ac-
tions would not take place.
Wenzl termed a proposal to
take pension improvements out
of collective bargaining “sim-
ply another repudiation of the
Taylor Law by the very leg-
islative branch that created it.”
Earlier, he had called a Senate

Any failure on the part of the
State to honor that commitment
will precipitate a crisis of un-
measurable dimensions. Dele-
gates of the Civil Service Em-
Ployees Assn. at the Concord
Hotel authorized unanimously a
program of every job action that
is legally possible in their fight
to prevent a holdup in their pay
increase. As Association presi-
dent Theodore C. Wenzl said:
“State employees are facing the
worst crisis in eivil service since
depression days but, thank God,
we have the strength and the
wilk to overcome this adverse
situation,”
Would Affect All
While State employees are in
the front lines of the battle to
secure the sanctity of public
employee contract obligations,
breach of the obligation by the
State will inevitably spill over
into county, city and other local
government units in the State.
The inevitability of this conse-
quence makes imperative unity
of action and purpose by civil
service employees at every level
of government. No public em-
ployee can expect immunity
from similar action, if the State
successfully reneges or. its agree-
ment with the Civil Service Em-
ployees Assn.
What has emerged so far
from the veil of secrecy that sur-
rounds the midnight slashing of
the budget makes it clear that
the intent 1s to shift to other
governmental units burdens of
cost that traditionally have been
borne by the State. Major cuts
proposed include reductions in
State appropriations for educa-
tion and for aid to localities.
The blunt fact is that every
county, town, village and school
board is no less pressed for
money than the State. As it is
in many communities, real estate
taxes for the support of schools
has in many districts approach-
ed the confiscatory level. Other
areas of local government are
similarly in the tight squeeze
between rising costs and the
erosion of revenue resourees. To
what extent these local govern-
ments will attempt to balance
their budgets through lay-offs
of civil service employees, in-
creased work loads, denial of
salary improvements, and other
regressive, anti-civil service em-
ployee actions remains unknown.
On the other hand, such actions
will clearly be encouraged if the
State denies to its employees
reasonable increases won as @
result of hard-collective bargain-
ing negotiations.
Certainly, every member of
the Legislature must bear in
mind that he 4s on target next
Election Day, should he take
any action to frustrate the gains

Toward A Curtailed Workweek
FOUR-DAY WORKWEEK for civil service?
WELL, IT IS happening now in scores of business firms
throughout the country.
HUNTINGTON BEACH, Calif., is credited with being the
first in the public sector to try
the four-day week, which is
practically a brand-new job
Plan in the private sector.
IN EL MONTE, CALIF., with
& 44-man police force, the men
work four 10-hour shifts per
day.
THE SCHEDULE IS arranged
to provide extra manpower dur-
ing high crime periods at nights,
SAYS CHIEF Orval Davis:
“We are able to field more men
when we need them, usually
without holding men over the
end of their normal work shift.”
THE FOUR-DAY WEEK, got
its start in private industry,
mostly among small, non-union
companies.
BASICALLY, THE IDEA is to
work four 10-hour days and then
haye three days off. In effect, it
means packing five days’ work
into four,
MORE THAN 100 companies
are trying the four-day, 10-
hour per day workweek and
most are finding it successful.
It seems to have won secept-
ance among a variety of busi-
nesses, including manufacturers,
retailers, hospitals, banks, film
Processors.
IN CIVIL SERVICE thus far
only some of the smaller potice
departments on the West Coast
are trying it.

Uc relations angle in trying this

Ecker Blasts Brydges”
Pension Plan Proposal
(From Leader Correspondent)
SYRACUSE—Charles J. Ecker, president of the Civil
Seryice Employees Assn,’s Central Conference, has blasted
& proposal to take the issue of pension plans for. public
employees out of collective bargaining.
‘The proposal was made by
State Senator Earl W. Brydges,
Senate Republican Majority
Leader. Brydges established a
special committee to study the
Possibility of eliminating the
pension issue from bargaining
talks.
In a statement issue recently,
Brydges slso voiced concern
about the “skyrocketing costs”
of public employees’ retirement
plans. He suggested that such
programs should be regulated by
® State pension commission
rather than being involved in
collective bargaining.
Ecker said his Conference pro-
tests the Brydges proposal.
“The majority of public em-
Ployees in New York State have
contributed to their pension
Suess vege vansecvtaegnvneantaeasnnveecauengeacaeenceacaaeteatvenecceeaneuteen cetacean

Present In Trainee Exam
plans for many years,” Ecker
said. “And they want to be able
to negotiate any changes in these
plans.”
He pointed out that in private
industry, pension plans are a
“negotiated item” in contract
bargaining talks, “even on those
labor contracts under which em-
ployees do not contribute to
these plans.
“When employees pay into a
plan, as the public employees
do in New York State, they have
a stake in the plan. And they
should be able to have a voice
in any changes being considered
by their employers —the State
and other governmental units
whose workers are members of
the New York State Retirement
System,” Ecker said.
ALBANY —The Civil Service Employees Assn. has re-
celved a favorable decision from the State Supreme Court
in a discrimination suit involving the State’s professional
careers exam.
CSEA, which represents two
applicants for the examination,
contended that the exam notice
was for the trainee competitive
examination for all titles in the
State's professional careers se-
ries, sald that preferential treat-
ment 41 appointments was to be
given to those “who have rec-
cognizable identification with
Black or Spanish-speaking com-
munities.”
CSEA Attorney James D.
Featherstonhaugh charged that
the promise of preferential treat-
ment for such applicants renders
the test non-competitive within
stitution, Article V., Section VI,
the meaning of the State Con-
stitution, Artilce V., Section VI,
and is arbitrary, capricious, un-
cretion and a denial of equal
protection of the laws.
In his decision, Justice Russell
G. Hunt of the Supreme Court,
Albany County, maintained that
“administrative action intended
to confer favors upon a few and
to exclude others equally quali-
fled under our law is discrimina-
tory, a denial of equality of priv-
Uege and opportunity, and of the
equal protection of the laws. ...”
Justice Hunt also said that
the notice’s “admonition that
commitments will be made on
the basis of a final interview
+ .” leaves the matter of an
appointment very much in the
realm of subjective judgment
embracing a nullification of the
results of the written test and,
hence, objectionable. . . .”
Justice Hunt dented the State's
contention that the two peti-
tloners lacked the standing to
bring the suit and ordered the
State to respond within 30 days.
Featherstonhaugh hailed the
decision as a victory for the
civil service merit system. “CSEA
has fought innumerable times to
uphold the merit system," he
sald. “We will continue to be
® Watchdog over this system,
and public employ
on us to take
threats against it.”

30-Day Suspension
A 30-day suspension for
Mrs. Mildred Gatty, employee
of the Ward Island State
Hospital, was recently over-
turned and reinstatement was
brought about through the com-
bined efforts of the Civil Serv-
ice Employees Assn. chapter's
grievance panel and its legal
counsel,
Acting on a request from Mrs,
Cleo Patra Ransom, who heads
the employee's grievance unit,
CSEA went into action. Mrs.
Gatty was brought up on dis-
ciplinary charges under Section
75, but the initial hearing was
postponed 16 days until she
could obtain an attorney, CSEA
assigned lawyer Stanley Mall-
man to the case.
The hearing officer conceded,
during the proceedings, that he
could ¢ind no evidence to bear
out the charges. He asked for 10
days to review the transcript to
ascertain the facts. As a result,
the chapter received word that
all charges were being dismissed,
Mrs. Ransom was assisted in
handling the case by CSEA field
representatives William Farrell
and Joseph C. Sykes. Thelma
Ramsay, assistant to chapter
president Amos Royals, was al-
so instrumental.

Vow Full Support To Any Action
Taken To Protest Pay Raise Stall
(From Leader Correspondent)
ROCHESTER—Representatives of 7,500 State employees in the Rochester area have
unanimously endorsed the Civil Service Employees Assn. in any action it takes to resolve
the threat of a delay in the pay raise due April 1.
Presidents and delegates of nine CSEA chapters in Monroe and nearby counties met
as a political action committee
at the Carriage Stop Restaurant
in nearby Henrietta.
Samuel Grossfield, president of
the Rochester chapter and
spokesman for the group, sald
the committee will folloy
decisions on this and other is-
sues “very shortly” in meetings
with State legislators from the
Rochester area.
“If legislators withhold the
contracted pay raises, they are
performing an illegal act, and
they can expect employees to
halt work, except for basic es-
sential services, in all State fa-
cilities In protest over any such
action,” Grossfield sald.
The political action committee
also protested:
® Any reduction in staff
and services as a result of
Governor Rockefeller's pro-
Posed budget cuts.
© The threat to close Mt.
Morris Hospital and the Al-
bion Correction Institute.
© The transfer of Blue
Shield from the Rochester
Plan to the Albany Plan.
© The senior stenographer
examinations given Noy. 7,
1970, and which resulted in
more than 60 percent fail-
ures,
© The loss of a -half-day’s
pay this Winter after State
employees were sent home
from work at noon during a
snowstorm under the impres-
sion that the time would not
be charged to annual leave.
Grossfield said that he and
other CSEA chapter presidents
already have received notices of
sizeable numbers of layoffs of
provisional and temporary em-
ployees who expected to become
permanent employees when items
or permanent positions became
available,
These people are employed at
State hospitals and other inst!-
tutions in the area, he sald.
Grossfield said a number of
layoffs are expected soon at Mt.

Steps already have been taken
to close the Albion facility. In
addition, orders originally called
for the closing of Mt. Morris
Hospital this July, but those
orders were extended for one
year, he said.
Grossfield said the State De-
partment of Civil Service arbi-
trarily transferred Blue Shield
from the local plan to Albany’s,
but that State employees here
are demanding it be restored to
the Rochester plan.
He said failures in the senior
stenographer examination Nov.
7 have been attributed to dis-
ruption of the examination by
many types of outside activities
at the schools where it was given
and to faulty typewriters and
dictation equipment,
“We asked the State Depart-
ment of Civil Service to repeat
the examination, but they have
refused, so we are asking the
cour:s for an injunction against
appointments from the lists re-
sulting from these exams,” Grows
field sald.

of the Statewide CSEA examina-
tions committee, 1s asking the

CIVIL SERVICE LEADER, Tuesday, March 30, 1971
Why do we Recognize Blue Shield?
Because they know what they’re doing.
Blue Shield for physician’s charges Is the one plan that makes sense. Blue
Shield invented the whole idea of prepayment for medical and surgical .
services and over the past 25 years they've worked out the problems with
experience. They've cut red tape to a minimum which means their oper-
ating costs are probably the lowest in the business.
Another thing. Blue Shield is non-profit. And while others are too, Blue
Shield benefits are the realistic, important benefits that spell the difference
between worry-free recovery and financial hardship.
An overwhelming number of physicians in New York State participate in
Blue Shield. In fact, most doctors cover their own families with Blue Shield.
If there was a better plan — you know that we would have it.
But the fact is. There isn’t.

To Close Gap
In Technical Job Openings
The twin goals of environmental conservation and the
abatement of pollution are coming in for greater attention
by both government and the public. To further these goals,
accordingly, larger staffs must come into being, and the
City Personnel Dept. has thus
sounded the recruitment call for
two dozen titles in the engin-
eering and architecture fields.
For these technological posts,
Thursdays have been set aside
for filing. In most cases, only
evaluation of training will be
necessary. Engineers, for ex-
ample, are required to have lic-
enses in their specialized area.
Promotional and open-compet-
itive openings exist with respect
to these titles: air pollution con-
trol engineer; civil engineer; civil
engineer/water supply; electrical
engineer, and mechanical en-
gineer.
Other titles involving technical
orientation are: architect; as-
sistant air pollution control en-
gineer; assistant civil engineer;
assistant electrical engineer; as-
sistant engineering technician;
assistant landscape architect;
assistant mechanical engineer;
assistant plan examiner of build-
ings, and assistant planner.
Also in the competitive Thurs-
day series: engineering techni-
clan; engineering technician
trainee; junior air pollution con-
trol engineer; junior architect;
junior civil engineer; junior elec-
trical engineer; Junior landscape
architect; junior mechanical en-
sineer, and junior planner. Com-
pleting the series are: radio op-
erator and senior engineering
technician.

A Blow For Merit
\HE Civil Service Employees Assn. has won the first -ound
in a court battle to preserve the very heart of the Merit
System—appointment to civil service jobs through competi-
five examinations and no other basis.
Strangely enough, CSEA’s opponent in the courts ts the
Btate Civil Service Dept., which wants to give preferential
treatment in giving job appointments to applicants of par-
ficular ethnic backgrounds,
The Employees Association has been a leader in pro-
moting the welfare of persons deprived of opportunity be-
cause of prejudice but it cannot, in turn, act prejudicial
foward one group at the expense of the other.
Albany Supreme Court Justice Russell G. Hunt summed
& up accurately when he wrote in his opinion that “admin-
istrative action intended to confer favors upon a few and
to exclude others equally qualified under the law is discrim-
inatory, a denial of equality of privilege and opportunity and
f the equal protection of the laws... ."
And that is it, in a nutshell.
The Double Standard
S THIS newspaper was going to press, thousand of em-
ployees in the State Mental Hygiene Dept.—with the
backing of the Civil Service Employees Assn.—were prepar-
img to descend on Albany to demonstrate around the Capitol
Building to protest proposed, deep cuts in Mental Hygiene
Dept. funds from the new State budget.
Elsewhere throughout the State, tens of thousands of
other State workers were in an uproar over threats of job
layoffs and a delay for a year of a negotiated pay increase
due to take effect this week on April 41.
In the meantime, let us tell you the gist of a news dis-
patch that came to us in the middle of all this public em-
ployee upheaval. It says, in essence, that members of the
State Legislature will probably not double their salaries this
year but will probably “console themselves” by voting im-
proved pension benefits, effective April 1.
It 1s this type of double standard that makes civil ser-
vants gasp with dismay and disbelief—and anybody else that
has an ounce of logic and intelligence.

Civil Service
Law & You
By RICHARD GABA
Mr. Gaba is a member of the New York State Bar and chair-
man of the Labor Law Committee of the Nassau County Bar Assn,
Ballot Box Marksmanship
THE PERB SETS UP elections and distributes notices of
elections with instructions to voters. The notices emphasize
that the elections are by “Secret Ballot.” They further state,
“Vote By Marking Only X In One Square. Any Other Mark
Will Void Your Ballot. Mark Only X On Your Ballot, Inside
One Square.” The ballot itself contains the statement, “Mark
An X On This Ballot, In One Square Only. This Is A Secret
Ballot And Must Not Be Signed.”
BOTH THE NATIONAL Labor Relations Board and the
New York State Labor Relations Board place great emphasis
on maintaining the secrecy of representation election. There
is no doubt that a person who marks his ballot with some-
thing other than an “X” could be identified if that was his
wish. That would be true no matter what mark was made
on the ballot — so long as it is not an “X.”
IN THE CASE of J. Brenner & Sons, 154 NLRB 656, the
NLRB held that to allow an employee to identify himself
on his ballot, “would remove any protection of employees
from pressures, originating with either employers or unions,
to prove the way in which their ballots had been cast,
and thereby detract from the laboratory conditions which
the Board strives to maintain in representation elections.”
It is the long-standing policy of the NLRB to invalidate
any ballots which reveal the voter’s identity. The NLRB then
engages in a great deal of subjective ex post facto specula-
tion in each case as to whether or not there has been
an impairment of secrecy.
THE NEW YORK State Labor Relations Board does
not take any such flights into fancy or delude itself on
the question of intent of the voter or the maintaining of
secrecy. Its position has consistently been that any mark
other than an X in one of the boxes voids the ballot. The
reasoning of the SLRB is sound and does not leave room
for the kind of speculation the NLRB engages in.
THE SLRB HAS said, “It may be that the voter's inten-
tion was clear. Intention, however, is not the sole concern
in an. election by secret ballot. The secrecy of that ballot
is, as a matter of public policy, of equal importance. The
Board’s insistence that a ballot, in order to be. counted,
be marked exactly in accordance with its instructions, is no
‘mere formality.’ When a voter places any type of mark on
the ballot other than the one expressly directed, it makes
his ballot different from the others and capable of identi-
fication. Whether this was by prior arrangement or not ts
immaterial because secrecy is no longer assured. (Matter of
Allerton, 13 SLRB 664 at 665.)
IN THE COLONIAL Sand & Stone case, the SLRB said:
“Experience in conducting elections of this kind convinces
the Board that to compel strict adherence to the require-
ment that an “X” be marked on ballots eliminates ex post
facto exercise of the Board’s discretion, and is more likely
to result in fair elections, free from suspicion or question.”
(5 SLRB 782 at 785.)
SUBJECTIVE DETERMINATIONS should be avoided;
otherwise, the question of the integrity of PERB elections
and the secrecy attendant thereto will never be laid to rest.
One can imagine innumerable situations in which a sub-
jective determination would have to be made as to the
intention of the voter and the secrecy of his ballot, For
example, a person could print across the face of the ballot,
“CSEA”; or he could punch a hole in one square with his
pencil, or draw a series of arrows converging on one square,
No one can say for sure what the intention of the voter was,
and certainly any such voter could be identified if that
was his wish.
PERB WILL SOON have an opportunity to decide a
case involving a ballot marked other than with an X. It
will be interesting to see which rule they will follow, the
State or the Federal,
Bills Before Legislature Affecting. Civil Service
The Leader, this week, continues a listing of legislation affecting civil service em-
ployees which have been introduced into the State Legislature.
Bills which are both protection for, and adverse to, the civil service community are
enumerated. A complete listing of the Senators and Assemblymen serving in Albany was
published in recent editions. It will be repeated at intervals during the Legislative ses-
sion in order that readers interested in specific pieces of legislation can contact their local
legislators and the sponsors of the measures. The Senate bill listing is continued. How-
ever, in most cases, companion bills have been introduced in the State Assembly.

‘The State Administration cre-

delegates on March 19 also had
voted to take job action in the
form of withholding of services
if the State violates the contract
it has with its employees or if
there is any loss of present bene-

The resolutions, which were overshadowed by the imme= e@
diate budgetary threats and res-
olutions authorizing demonstra-
tions and potential Job actions,
are vital to the status of civil
service as a career and for the
welfare of members at the Civil
Service Employees Assn.
The resolutions:
© Endorsed the concept of
revenue sharing and called
on President Nixon for ac-
tion to help the states main-
tain servites.
© Endorsed the concept of
legislation establishing the
agency shop, under which
non-members of CSEA would
pay their share for represen-
tation.
© Supported a pending bill
to permit World War II vet-
Here’s Schedule For
erans who have not filed for
retirement credits for their
military time, another year
in which to file. The legis-
lation adopted last year ex-
pires March 31.
© Supported a pending bill
that would permit World
‘War II veterans to buy back
retirement credits for service
time at a contribution rate a
based on their salary at the s
time they first entered the
Retirement System. This
would save affected employ-
ees hundreds of dollars each.
All four resolutions were of-
fered by State first vice-presi-
dent Irving Flaumenbaum and
were adopted unanimously.
New Pay Checks, If —
ALBANY — State employee pay raises negotiated last
year by the Civil Service Employees Assn. and scheduled to
take effect this April 1 will first be reflected in pay checks of
April 7 for administrative personnel and April 14 for institu-
tion employees, a CSEA spokes-
man said last week.
According to the spokesman,
under the official implementa-
tion procedure, State salary in-
creases that are keyed to the
beginning of the fiscal year,
April 1, actually show up in the
Payroll of the bi-weekly pay’ pe-
riod that begins closest to 1,
For administrative employees,
this will be the pay
March 25-April 7, while fdr in-
stitutional personnel it is\ the
period of April 1-April 14.
CSEA spokesman pointed out,
however, that observance of this
timetable hinges on legislative
passage of the State budget in
sufficient time for the necessary
machinery to be set in motion,
CSEA also cautioned institu-
tion employees not to look for
their increases in paychecks they
receive on the first or second of
April. There is normally a one-
to two-day lag following the end
of a pay period before institution
pay checks are actually distrib-
uted. Hence, even though insti-
tution workers may get their
checks this week one or two days
into the new fiscal year, these
checks will cover only the period
ending March 31 and will there-
fore not seflect any increase. The
latter will first be felt in the
institution payroll of April 14.
‘The upcoming pay hikes nego-
tlated last year by CSEA as
second-year benefits in a prece-
dent - setting two-year State
worker contract are for most
people in the form of either a
six percent or $525 annual raise,
whichever is greater.
Certain newer employees will
be affected by a new minimum
annual salary, also part of the
CSEA-negotiated package. Un-
der this benefit, as of April 1
all employees who have worked
at least 26 pay periods (approxi-
mately one year) and who are
“in full pay status” will receive
a yearly salary of at least $6,000.
Employees hired more recently
will qualify for the benefit upon
attaining the necessary.
prior to April 1, 1972. \
(An article in next week’s Civit
Service Leader will describe in
greater detail the various effects
of this year’s new State employee
benefits negotiated by the
CSEA.)

of women these days but it’s
never been any big deal to
the gals of the Civil Service
Employees Assn., many of
whom have been in the
front ranks of CSEA lead-
ership in one or more roles
since the organization’s
, founding.
As a matter of fact, the
goal of being the first wom-
an president of the Employ-
ees Association has long
been unobtainable. That
honor was taken by Beulah
Bailey Thull back in 1934
when she was elected for
BD the first of two terms as
CSEA’s top officer.
Since then, one CSEA gal
who has turned in a triple
threat performance on lead-
' ership is Hazel Abrams, an
employee of the State Edu-
cation Dept. She has, in turn,
served as president of the
Capital District Conference,
CSEA Statewide secretary
and, at present, as third
vice-president of the Em-
> ployees Association. In ad-
dition, she is one of the very
active movers of a program
for retired CSEA members.
On the conference level,
women have long exercised
the reins of leadership. As a
WW maiter of fact, there were
eight past presidents of con-
ferences from the distaff
side at the recent CSEA
Delegates Meeting at the
Concord Hotel and the only
one we failed to capture in
our picture was Mrs. Flor-
ence Drew, who served as
a leader of the Central Con-
ference. Other past presi-
dents on hand were Mrs.
Nellie Davis, Southern; Mrs.
Clara Boone, Central; Grace
Hillery, Celeste Rosenkranz
and Mrs. Pauline Fitchpat-
rick, Western, and Deloras
Fussell, Capital.

has long had strong feminine
leaders in the forefront is

four current department
3 representatives on the CSEA
Board of Directors are Mrs.
Julia Duffy, Pilgrim State
Hospital, and Mrs, Ann Bes-
sette, Hudson River State
Hospital, both of whom are
} equally active in the affairs
of their conferences,
For many years, there
were more women chapter
presidents than men in the
County chapters of the Em-
ployees Association and one
of them, Mrs. Margieann

problems reach proportions that demand concerted public
action, be it to stem the tide of a major disaster or to
eliminate a threat to the safety and welfare of our society.
SUCH IS THE nature of the controversy that is current-
ly reaching a peak of concern by both the public and our
lawmakers. For years the problem of drug addiction, and
particularly the widespread and increasing use of marijuana,
was one that was recognized, but inasmuch as it was con-
fined to use by the lower class and the underprivileged,
there was no public uproar. The problem really began to
gain attention when our middle class and the more afflu-
ent came face to face with this scourge among their own
children and in their own living rooms.
UP UNTIL this time, and certainly to this day, the
police officers of this nation were among the only ones
that were starkly aware of the enormity and the dangers
of marijuana addiction. It is only recently that the medical
profession has undertaken broad studies of the dangers of
marijuana,
ALTHOUGH THE marijuana debate has so far produced
little common ground, there are points on which most
authorities agree. Among them ifs that the use of the drug
produces psychosis, is a stepping stone to harder drugs and
to user becomes a psychological dependency. Medically, the
long-term effects are not known, but suffice it to state that
some members of the medical profession brand marijuana
“a dangerous drug and as such a public health concern,”
reaffirming that pending further study, marijuana “must
be considered a risk to mental and physical health of
users.”
ALL THIS CAME to mind when I received a letter from
the president of the Chicago Confederation of Police, Daniel
Green. His concern was the proposal by two legislators to
legalize the use of marijuana in Illinois, In his opinion, such
action “can be more devastating to the United States than
all of our wars and all of the Communist plots that you
might imagine.”
HERE IN OUR own New York State, some of our elect-
ed representatives have the same idea — legalize pot —
reduce the penalties — join the turned-on generation. Easy
— a look-the-other-way attitude — and the crime statistics
lessen. This, before all the medical testimony is gathered,
and the experience of police completely disregarded.
IN ALBANY, the controversy will probably be one of
the key issues in the Legislature. Recommendations have
been proposed to reduce from a misdemeanor to a violation
the possession of less than one quarter of an ounce of mari-
juana. State Senate John R. Dunne, chairman of the Com-
mittee on Crime and Correction, has sought the expert
opinions of police officers throughout the State and con-
cluded that the “epidemic of drug abuse which is eroding
the fabric of this great country” must be combatted by
condemning this drug. Otherwise, he states, “the result will
be a dramatic increase in its use.”
TO BE HONEST about it, all police officers in this na-
tion are well aware of the radical elements in our society
who are engaged in a campaign of vilification and dis-
respect for the police officer, Some of this unfortunately
has rubbed off on some otherwise law-abiding and respect-
able citizens, Perhaps in their misguided thinking, it is the
“in” thing to do, Much of the youth has been contaminated,
IN A CRISIS, however, the majority of our citizens look
to the police for the protection and help that is needed to
curb lawlessness and danger. In the case of marijuana, the
police officer knows first-hand of the devastating effects,
the crime that 1t breeds and the potential horror that would
resutt in its legalization to the young of our nation,
ANY ACTION in this direction, be it in Illinois, Wash-
ington or Albany would be a black day in our country,

stitutional setting.”

(SEA Planning Seminars |
CIVIL SERVICE LEADER, Tuesday, March 30, 1971
ALBANY — The Civil Service Employees Assn.
will conduct two-day seminars on collective negotia-
tions for CSEA members in each conference area this
Sprin, president Theodore C. Wenzl has announced.
Wenzl said the seminars, being planned and co-
ordinated now by CSA education director E. Norbert
Zahm, will cover problems of collective negotiations
and will teach CSEA members how to bargain with
public employers.
The seminars will be directed and staffed by
Ronald Donovan, professor of labor relations at the
New York State School of Industrial and Labor Re-
lations, Cornell University, and other staff members
from that school.
The tentative schedule for the seminars in each
‘SEA conference area is:
Capital District Conference, April 15 and 16;
Central Conference, April 22 and 23;
Western Conference, April 29 and 30;
Southern Conference, May 6 and 7;
Long Island Conference, May 13 and 14;
Metropolitan Conference, May 20 and 21.
Subjects to be covered will include the responsi-
bilities of the negotiating team, objectives of collective
bargaining, composition of the negotiating team, scope
of negotiations, improper practices, preparations for
negotiations, developing proposals, negotiating tech-
niques, and others.
On the second day of each seminar, a mock nego-
tiation session featuring actual collective bargaining
between teams of seminar participants is planned, fol-
lowed by critique and a discussion of impasse proce-
dures.
Zahm said: “CSEA plans to train our members
so that they can negotiate against the toughest em-
ployer they are likely to meet. This is a pilot program,
and if it is successful, we expect to broaden the semi-
nars and branch out from here.”
CSEA members who are interested in attending
the negotiating seminars should contact their chapter
presidents. Chapter an dconference presidents will
receive detailed information on the seminars as soon
as plans are finalized, Zahm said.

‘The two-year package, which
also includes broadened vaca-
tion and sick leave benefits, will
provide a minimum 10 percent
salary boost for 1970-71, follow-
ed by an additional five per-
cent the following year, A five
percent shift differential has
longevity steps of $300 will be
been won for custodians, and
offered after 11, 16 and 21 years.
Vacation time will be grant-
ed on the basts of two weeks
after one year, three weeks after
one year, three weeks after five
years, and four weeks afte: 12
years of employment.
On sick leave, the new con-
tract provides for 22 days after
the first year, 15 days each year
thereafter, cumulative to 150
days. Employees with only 10
months service will be entitled
to 20 days for the first year.
Personal leave provisions allow
three days for 12-month em-
ployees, with two days deducti-
ble from sick leave; 10-month
employees will be entitled to two
days off and three days de-
ductible from sick leaye.
‘The CSEA-School District pact
also features inclusion of Plan
B of the Blue Cross/Blue Shield
Health Insurance Program and
a@ retirement plan calling for
1/60th after 25 years service,
with the school board paying
full cost for each eligible em-
ployee.
Other benefits obtained per-
mit that “Association employees
will be given reasonable time
off with pay to attend CSEA
conferences, workshops and con-
ventions.” This covers two em-
ployees at one time at not more
than four times in one year,
with the approval of the super
intendent.

Anti-Employee Actions
(Continued from Page 1)
Commenting on the attitude
expressed in the Legislature that
public employees have better re~
tirement benefits than workers
in the private sector, Wenzl de-
clared that “these benefits were
arrived at through legal and
binding negotiations with the
State administration with the
subsequent approval of the State
Legislature. Our retirement de-
mands were patterned after the
liberal legislative pension plan
which provides half pay after
20 years to members of the State
Legislature and their employees.
“It is inconceivable that leg-
islators, who are also public em-
Ployees, would set the pace in
granting themselves liberalized
retirement benefits and then
criticize other public employee
pension plans which are far less
liberal. State legislators cannot
divorce themselves from assum-
ing the ultimate responsibility
for retirement benefits which
they themselves inspired and ap-
proved.”
Hits Blaming Employees
‘Wenzl also took exception to
statements that “it is the cost
of the improvements in wages
and retirement benefits of our
State employees, local govern-
ment employees and teachers
which have been responsible for
much of the increase in our
budgetary needs at the State and
local levels.”
‘Wenzl contended that “the
cost of welfare, education, build-
ing and highway construction
and myriad ivory tower programs
of the State administration were
chiefly responsible for the mon-
strous budgets that have bur-
geoned under the present ad-
ministration.
“The improvements negotiated
for public employees were and
are essential in order to keep
many public employees off the
welfare rolls. These benefits
could hardly be classified as un-
necessary, much less extrava-
gant,” he concluded.
Downstate Reaction
At a press conference in New
York City, Flaumenbaum and
Bendet, who is also president of
the New York City chapter,
viewed the Legislature study as
@ possible smoke screen that
could delay negotiations later
this year with the State to im-
prove Retriement System bene-
fits for State workers,
Quoting from a news dispatch,
Bendet declared “It says here
that our legislators in ' Albany
have decided there is little hope
of doubling their salaries this
year—but that they may console
each other by improving their
pension benefits before the end
of the session.
“It is this kind of double-
standard mentality about pen-
sions that so upsets the rank-
and-file employee,” Bendet said.
“All we did was ask for the
same deal that Senators and As-
semblymen voted for themselves
and the next thing you know
everybody else's pension has to
be studied.”
Speaking rhetorically, Bendet
then asked the news media rep
resentatives “if the State can
violate a signed wage increase
negotiated under the Taylor Law
and take such an important issue
as pensions away from the bar-
gaining table, just what's left
of the Taylor Law?”
Attacks Lay-Offs
Bendet also decried talk
about laying off employees. “Let
them lay off that mausoleum
known as the Albany Mall and
that fire trap called the World
‘Trade Center before taking away
the bread and butter of work-
ing men who contribute so much
to the well-being of our society,”
he said.
Flaumenbaum then noted that
one thing still left in the Taylor
Law is an understanding that
public employees could be pro-
voked to such an extent they
would go on strike. “I think it’s
terrible to scare workers about
whether or not they are going
to get a pay raise due to them.
If this wage contract is broken
then the members of the Legis-
lature have no one but them-
selves to blame for causing State
employees to walk off their jobs
by the thousands—which would
mean a severe crippling of essen-
tial State services.
Flaumenbaum appeared par
ticularly disturbed about cuts in
the Mental Hygiene Dept. budget
and expressed concern that “pa-
tient care will deteriorate and
worker morale will evaporate.
“We have wonderful, dedica’
People working in our institu-
tions who are already doing
double duty on the job because
of staff shortages. Just how
much can we expect from
them?” he asked.
Flaumenbaum also blamed Dr.
Alan D. Miller, Commissioner of
Mental Hygiene, for a good share
of the low morale among insti-
tution workers. “Our meml
hhave told us time and time ags
that they have no confidence in
this man,” he said, “and I
strongly urge the Governor to
put the axe to this commissioner
instead of the Mental Hygiene
budget.”
As reported elsewhere in this
edition, CSEA Mental Hygiene
members staged a huge protest
in front of the Capital Building
this week to protest deep cuts in
their department's budget.
Audit & Control Dept. —
Ends News Blackout,
CSEA Official Says
ALBANY—Violations of the news blackout on negotia<
tions in behalf of employees of the State Dept. of Audit and =
Control have been charged against the department by the
Civil Service Employees Assn., representing the employees.
CSEA collective bargaining
specialist Thomas J. Linden said
last week that the department
had failed to live up to its agree-
ment with CSEA barring pub-
licity on any items under dis-
cussion in the talks until a final
settlement is reached.
Under fire is a memorandum
issued by the Department that
Audit and Control workers —
stipulates a basic workweek for
a benefit which, according to
CSEA, the department insisted
during the talks that it did not
have the power to grant,
Health Chapter
Sets Bus Trip
ALBANY — The James E.
Christian Memorial chapter
of the Health Dept., Civil
Service Employees Assn., will
sponsor a two-day bus trip to
‘New York City April 3 and 4,
Chapter social coordinator
Henry Kohler said buses carry-
ing chapter members will leave
the parking lot at 84 Holland
Avenue, Albany, at 7:30 Sat-
urday, April 3, and will return
both on Saturday evening and
Sunday evening €or the convent-
ence of those who wish to stay
just one day.
The group will stay at the
Hotel Paramount, 46th St. and
Eighth Ave, in Manhattan. Sin-
gles, doubles, triples or quadru-
ples are available. Complete
costs and information can be
obtained by contacting Kohler,
in care of the chapter, 84 Hol-
land Ave. Albany, N.¥. 12208;
telephone (518) 474-5060,
“This is just one more in a
series of provocations,” Linden
said. “First, CSEA fought tooth
and nail to negotiate a work-
week for the employees. The De-
partment consistently told us
that it did not have the pow
er to set a workweek. Now they
have set one, without consult-
ing CSEA. Instead, they issued
this memo. This 1s clearly a
violation of trust.
“We consider this move by
the Department to be unfair
to the employees involved. The
Department did have the right to
set a workweek, as evidenced by
its recent announcement. Their
telling us repeatedly in negoti-
ations that they did not ha
this power is indefensible at
this point.”
Linden said the employees
were also angered over a sec-
tion of the same memo, which
announced that employees’ va-
cation credits and personal leave
credits could now be taken in
15-minute units. “This was an
item agreed upon during our
talks,” he stated. “The news
blackout while the talks are still,
going on forbids disclosure of
items tentatively agreed upon.
The Department released this
information before it became
final and, what's more, did not
even indicate that the item was
negotiated by CSEA.”
No formal action will be taken
by CSEA against the Depart-
ment, Linden said, “ But CSEA
and the employees of Audit and
Control are very disappointed @
in the attitude and the actions
of Department officials.” Nego-
Wations are continuing.
