Follows Through On Roswell Report

BUFFALO— Robert Latti-
mer, president of Western
Region VI of the Civil Ser-
vice Employees Assn., said
last’ week that he intended to
meet with Assemblyman William

“B. Hoyt (D-Buffalo) to deter-
mine whether a critical report on
Dr. Gerald P. Murphy, director
of Roswell Park Memorial Insti-
tute, would “just gather dust now
that it has been released” or
whether there would be any sig-
nificant follow through.

‘The study on Dr. Murphy

came about after several of his
colleagues complained to Mr.
Hoyt about numerous cases of
the administrator's alleged “au-
tocratic and high-minded” tac-
tics in dealing with high-level
staff members.

Mr. Hoyt investigated the com-
plaints and passed them on to
Gov, Hugh Carey, who appointed
& special committee to investi-
gate the allegations. In effect,
the conclusion of the committee
study was that there was much
to criticize in Dr. Murphy's
manner of operation, but that he

was @ generally effective admin-
istrator.

One of the questions Mr. Latti-
mer intends to pursue with Mr.
Hoyt is why the investigation
did not extend to all staff levels
of the hospital and its Health
Research Institute.

“I don't think the report is
complete as it stands now,” sald
Mr. Lattimer. “If an administra-
tor is under fire from the top
echelon of a hospital, it stands to
reason that there is probably a
good deal of similar dissatisfac-
tion on every other staff level.”

‘On Increments, Promotions

$17 Million Assures
Backpay As Well

ALBANY — Settlement has been reached between the
Civil Service Employees Assn, and the State of New York on
two class action grievances, guaranteeing promotional and
incremental salary increases for those state employees rep-
resented by CSEA eligible to receive such increases.

It is estimated that the agreement will add an additional
$17 million to the existing contracts for state workers.

CSEA president William L. McGowan described the set-
tlement as “an achievement of major proportions” and said
“hopefully it initiates a new era of respect and cooperation
between labor and management leading to a higher level of
labor peace in New York State.” Mr. McGowan said repre-
sentatives of both the CSEA and the State “worked together

to resolve a very serious issue
and achieved an equitable settle-
ment on behalf of state employ-
ees without the intervention of
outside arbitrators.”

Settlement of the two class ac-
tion grievances filed by the CSEA
against the State resolves a
tangled situation that developed
shortly after the signing of new
2-year contracts last April by
CSEA and the State for the 140,-
000 state workers in four major
bargaining units represented by
the union.

That agreement, which pro-
vides for three salary increases
during the life of the contracts
totaling 1444 percent with $1,400
minimum increases guaranteed,
did not provide for any increases
in the state's basic salary
schedule.

Shortly after tentative agree-
ment was reached on April 17,
and before the tentative con-
tracts had been sent out for rati-
fication voting to union members,
the State announced it intended
to adhere strictly to the un-
changed state salary schedule in
determining increments for those

eligible for promotional and in-
cremental increases, meaning
that some state workers would
not receive incremental increases
otherwise due in 1978, and that
some promotional increases would
be reduced.

CSEA charged that the State’s
interpretation of the agreement
and understanding reached at

*Told To Go Home During NYC Blackout? You'll Be Paid

ALBANY — State employees who reported to
work during the July 14 power outage in the New
York City area and actually worked, but were
later told to go home, are urged to contact the
Civil Service Employees Assn. Metropolitan Re-
gion office if they have not yet been paid for
that day.

According to Stephen Wiley, an attorney for
Roemer and Featherstonhaugh, the union's law

@irm, an agreement reached recently between the
State and the CSEA will allow employees in this
category to be paid for the day, if they haven't
already received payment for the time.

Mr, Wiley urged these employees to “get the
full benefit of their contract’s protection” by giv-
ing the following information to their CSEA re-
gional office, Room 1210, 11 Park Place, Man-
hattan; their name, address, work location and
name of their supervisor, The union will pass
this information on to state officials.

State employees who stayed home that day,
heeding the warnings of city officials, or those
who reported to work but were prevented by
police and armed guards from entering their
building will, according to the State, have the
time taken from their leave and vacation credits.

CSEA has filed a grievance against these penal-
ties, but it is still pending.

In a recent development, Mr. Wiley reported
that a proposed stipulation of facts written by
the state Office of Employee Relations has been
rejected by the union on the grounds that it
doesn’t adequately present the facts and is
slanted toward the employer's interests, The
stipulation of facts is a written effort by both
sides in a dispute to agree on the facts of a situa-
tion before testifying to an arbitrator, Mr. Wiley
said that he would prepare another stipulation
to present to OER.

Newman Awaits Senate
Confirmation;Appointed

New PERB Chairman

ALBANY—Harold Newman, a
labor negotiator who helped set-
tle school strikes in New York
City, Yonkers and Lakeland in
recent years, is awaiting State
Senate confirmation as the new
chairman of the state Public
Employment Relations Board.

Mr. Newman, 59, PERB's di-
rector of conciliation since Oct-
ober 1968, was nominated for the
post last week by Gov. Hugh L.
Carey. It is not certain how soon
the Senate will act.

Mr. Néwman replaces Robert D.
Helsby in the $47,800-a-year
post. Dr. Helsby, PERB director
since its inception 10 years ago,
is retiring from state service. He
will work as 8 consultant for the

Carnegie Foundation to public
boards across the nation,

Mr. Newman was also director
of PERB’s New York City office
for a year in 1967 and was a
State Human Rights Division aide
for 10 years. He has lectured on
labor relations subjects at sev-
eral universities and was visiting
lecturer at Cornell University's
School of Industrial Relations.

He was a master sergeant in
the Army Air Corps during World
War II and attended Brooklyn
College, the New School for So-
cial Research and the School of
Radio and Television Technique
in New York City.

He and his wife, the former
Rita Cruz, live in Albany.

President Carter signed an ex-

SHORT TAKES

VETERANS’ PREFERENCE UPHELD

‘The U.S. Supreme Court has set aside a lower court ruling that
barred states from giving preference to military veterans seeking
public jobs. The 6-3 vote invalidated three-judge Massachusetts
federal court ruling. The high court told the lower court to re-
consider the case. The lower court ruled preferential treatment for
veterans amounted to sex dscrimination against women and violated
the 14th Amendment to the Constitution. The high court disagreed,
saying “discriminary intent” is needed to hold a regulation un-
constitutional.

BUFFALO DETECTIVES MAY BECOME CIVIL SERVICE

Buffalo Police Commissioner Thomas R. Blair has asked city
officials there to place the ranks of detective and detective sergeant
on the civil service job list, thus making them part of the com-
petitive system. The request followed a court ruling on a case filed
by the Buffalo Police Benevolent Assn. on behalf of a detective
seeking promotion to detective sergeant. The court ruled the de-
tective is entitled to promotion because he has more seniority than
others promoted to the higher rank.

How do you collect an

ust live in New York City. .

This year all you have to do to collect an OTB
payoff worth $8.53 is live in one of the city’s five
boroughs. That amount represents the individual
New. Yorker's share of the $65,200,000 in profit that
the New York City Off-Track Betting Corporation
earned for the city during its 1976-77 fiscal year.

No, OTB won't be handing out cash or mailing

Police and fire protection. Sanitation and health

$250,000,000 in profits to help pay for these vital

Of course, with all the talk about the fiscal crisis, you

Communications

During the election campaign for CSEA officers (Spring
1977), one of the most discussed issues was the need to im~-
prove communications within our union. I was involved in
that campaign, and certainly agreed that improved com-
munications makes for better unionism, especially in a mem-
ber-operated union like the CSEA.

So, since that time, I have tried to recognize the chan-

@ nels of communications that every CSEA member has avail-

able now. It comes to more than most of us realize. As will
be seen, we seem far more capable at sending information
to than we are at getting information from members. Part
of the problem may be poor use of these channels by mem-
bers. As you check the list below, evaluate your local or unit
in terms of how much of this list is available, and how often
have you used it.

Current Communication Channels

1. Civil Service Leader — delivered weekly to you. The
newspaper carries all general information of current con-
cern, and much more in the area of local interest than
one realizes. To my mind this is one of our best available
information channels, but also one of our least used. What
could be improved is the communications from the units
for publication and more thorough reading of the end
product.

2. Membership Meetings — the best source of direct
communications to members. Chapter presidents receive
large amounts of mail from statewide and regional offices.
Much of the information mailed is of real concern to each
of us (legal judgments, membership benefits, meetings,
etc.). Membership meetings, including the President's re-
port, are vital for communications to our members, So
would a state report where information coming from
your statewide Board of Directors could be given to you
directly.

Meetings should also be the basic means of commu-
nications from members, What needs improvement, I sus-
pect, is attendance at these meetings,

3, Regional and Local Publications — In traveling the
state, I was surprised at the high number of regional and
local publications of quality that we are publishing. Here
is an even more direct resource for communications of
local interest, assuming that all of us are reading and
responding to the newsletter or paper.

4, Conventions — By this I mean our workshops, re-
gional meetings, statewide conventions, County Workshop,
Mental Hygiene workshops and others. The quantity of
information received at these meetings varies, Statewide
conventions receive reports from all committees (these
are also printed in the Leader) and make major policy
decisions for our union. Regional workshops often con-
centrate on a specific area of concern (negotiations,
grievances, etc.) and give educational programs on the
subject. The obvious opportunity to communicate at these
workshops has never been fully used.

Most locals are looking for interested members who
will attend these affairs, listen, learn and contribute!
Contact your local officers and become a real part of CSEA.

If there is a main point to be made here, I feel it is
this— We are much better at sending out information than
we are in the reverse, Communications that fail in one direc-
tion are often not effective,

Any one who wants to comment on a means to improve
communications from our rank and file, I'd like to hear
from you.

Carrying signs reading “We
need direct-care staff" and “Two
people cannot take care of 28,"
the CSEA members marched to
call attention to a lack of
response by J. N, Adam admin-
istrators to the understaffing
problem.

Paul D. Christopher, CSEA Lo-
cal president, said administra-
tors cancelled a conference to
discuss the staff shortages on
90 minutes notice, prompting the
demonstration.

The CSEA first marched at
the center Oct, 3.

Employees from Gowanda and
West Seneca, like their fellow
CSEA workers at J. N. Adam,
picketed during their off-duty
hours, Mr. Christopher explained

He said three attendants were
needed for “bare minimum” care
in sections housing 25 to 28 resi-
dents. Often, he explained, one
of the three attendants must
accompany patients on out-of-
town trips for clinic appoint-
ments.

Also, Mr, Christopher added,
staff members assigned to admin-
istrative, community-service and
other support services have been
increased while direct-care at-
tendants have been reduced.

Klan affected a prison guard's
duties.

The majority opinion, which
upheld @ similar conclusion
reached in Albany Supreme
Court last year, pointed to a
US. Supreme Court decision
striking down a federal law
which barred defense jobs to
persons belonging to Communist
organizations.

The Appellate Division said a
specific “threat” has to be shown.
It said Mr. Ward’s directive seeks
“to exclude all persons affiliated
with the Ku Klux Kian, claiming
that that affiliation is disruptive
to prison administration and that
it prevents the member from
properly carrying out his func-

Judge Louis M. Greenblott,
who worte the majority decision,
said a “compelling state interest”
has to be established based upon
reliable evidence and not specu-
lation for the directive to be
legal. Merely because the Klan
has a reputation for racism and
@ majority of prison inmates are
members of minority groups isn’t
enough, he ruled.

Judge Greenbiott applauded
the laudable and substantial” in-
terest Mr. Ward had in “main-
taining proper prison security
and protecting inmates from un-
even treatment.” But the evi-
dence used by the commissioner
—articles on Klan violence and
racism written more than 10
years ago—and the absence of

What the department hopes to
achieve—“tranquility and elim-

‘The ruling came in a case in-
volving an Elmira correctional
officer, Joseph Curle, who was
fired in October 1975 because he

cerning his alleged membership

‘The only support for the direc-

Kane, who said that because
prison conditions are so “uni-

GO TO HEALTH

By WILLIAM BR. WILLIFORD

. :
Family Disease

Alcoholism heads the list of diseases that threaten the stability
of the family.

It is a complex and progressive condition.that not only affects
the health of the sick individual but also the health of spouses
and children.

Alcoholism is recognized as a family disease.
Often, members of the family get as sick or
sicker than the alcoholic. The emotional scars
&@ young child develops watching his drunken
father beat his mother take a long time, if
ever, to heal. The spouse of the alcoholic many
times becomes confused, anxious and guilt-rid-
den from living with all the lies and rationaliza-
tions used to protect the alcoholic mate.

As the disease progresses, there will be more
suffering for the entire family unless changes

occur.
Often the change is divorce. The New York City affiliate of the
National Council on Alcoholism reports that alcoholism is a major
factor in 20 percent of all divorces and accounts, directly or in-
directly, for 40 percent of the problems brought to family courts
in New York City.

It would seem to make sense that if a disease is breaking up
so many family units, it would be worthwhile to know what some
early signs might be. The following are some questions that might
be worth your while to answer:

® Do I help my spouse lie about excessive drinking?

© Do I argue with my spouse about excessive drinking?

© Is excessive drinking a central theme of many family argu-
ments?

© Have holidays and birthdays been ruined because of drinking?

© Have the kids indicated they hate to bring friends home be-
cause of excessive drinking?

© Have promises about drinking been made, only to be broken?

If you answered yes to any of these questions, then things are
not going as well as you would like. A little effort now might prevent
@ lot of sorrow and suffering in the future. Many communities
have programs designed to help other victims of alcoholism. Your
local Council on Alcoholism or AA group will be able to provide
more information. Alanon is for the spouses of alcoholics. The re-
sources to help are there but that most difficult and sometimes

painful first step is up to you.

tons before commenting. Mr.
Cassidy added, however, that he
expects most of the employees
affected will be CSEA members.

The DelBello announcement
came last week. The County Ex-
ecutive, in his 1978 budget mes-
sage, announced the proposed
cuts as a way to reduce county
Property taxes. He said the deci-
sion was painful and difficult.
Mr. DelBello, who was re-elected
to a second four-year term in
office Nov. 8, also proposed a
uniform 8 percent county sales
tax. Sales taxes currently vary
from community to community
in the county, from 5 to 8 per-
cent.

“The budget calls for a total
reduction in the county work-
force of 171 positions with half
requiring layoffs, and reducing
the budgets of more than half
the county's 35 departments and
offices below 1977 levels,” said
Mr. DelBello.

anger over the budget message.
He says he plans to sue Mr. Del-

ty Executive is using the pro-
posed budget “as a weapon
against an elected official.”

Mr, Delaney, a Republican
who was also returned to office
in the election, is the elected of-

his office stands to lose 14 em-
ployees, a 10 percent cut, if the

Mr. DelBello, “but not my de-

FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 25, 1977
An Outstanding Beginning

N office less than six months, as president of the big

statewide Civil Service Employees Assn., William McGowan
put the stamp of authority and strong leadership on his new
administration by getting the State Administration to amend
recently negotiated work contracts in a fashion to insure
full incremental and promotional salaries.

A grave problem arose after the contracts—which cover
employees in most state agencies—were signed. CSEA bar-
gainers insisted the final pay raises, which averaged 14!4
percent over the two-year period of the new contracts,
were to be amended into the basic state salary schedule.
The State immediately denied that this was the case, and
said it would use the unchanged salary schedule in effect
as the basis for determining increment and promotion sal-
aries. The result of this stance was that thousands of state
workers, who approved the new contracts, would get less
money than they had been led to believe.

Mr. McGowan put everything else aside and stepped out
to do battle as soon as he learned the State’s interpretation
of the new agreements. After weeks of intense arguments, de-
bate and negotiation, the feisty CSEA president won his
point and the Carey Administration accepted the union's
interpretation of the negotiated agreements.

The battle being over, Mr. McGowan engaged in no crow-
ing but, rather, generously announced that “this, hopefully,
initiates a new era of respect and cooperation between labor
and management leading to a higher level of labor peace
in New York State.”

Not Their Doing

IDWIN JENNINGS, president of the Uniformed Fire Of-

ficers Association in New York City, recently expressed
concern over the state of the pension fund covering his con-
stituents.

We share his alarm.

He reported that many fire officers may lose out on
their pension rights because of several twists of fate not
their doing. Their pension fund is about $700 million in debt,
says Mr. Jennings, and the deficit is growing each year.

There are several reasons, he says. One can be traced to
the city’s fiscai crisis, Much of the money used to pay for
overtime firefighting duty that, in turn, was caused by lay-
offs, came from the pension funds, he reports, Higher attri-
tion, another residue of the fiscal crisis, also placed a greater
strain on the fund than was originally expected. Disability

retirements, which provide even higher pension benefits to
the injured ex-worker, also rose,

Those are just a few of the reasons Mr. Jennings cited,
They all paint a bleak picture of firefighters someday open-
ing their pension envelopes and finding them empty. We
hppe and pray it never happens.

But much more than hoping and praying will be required
to avert such a catastrophe. We do not pretend to know the
solution, but we urge city and union officials to quickly get
about the business of finding a solution before the city finds
itself in another crisis that should never have occurred.

ernor, Bloom is a veteran state
legislator who can proudly boast
of an exemplary legislative rec-
ord, However, he is not too well
known outside his own borough.

‘That is hardly a conclusive im-
pediment to his potential candi-
dacy. It was said of then-Con-
gressman Carey, when he chal-
lenged Howard Samuels for the
Democratic nomination four
years ago, that he was not well
known outside Brooklyn. And
more recently, it was said of
Mayor-elect Edward I, Koch that
he was an unknown figure out-
side his Manhattan congression-
al district. However, both Carey
and Koch won the primaries
and the elections.

Other Aspirants

Meanwhile, because of Carey's
current low standing in public
opinion polls, other names are
being bandied about as poten-
tial aspirants for the nomina-
tion. Among these are Lieut.
Gov. Mary Anne Krupsak, form-
er Deputy Mayor John Zuccotti
and Ambassador Sol Linowitz,
principal negotiator of the con-
troversial Panama Canal treaty.

The 1978 primaries are still a
long way off, and public opinion
polls have a tendency to fluctu-
ate. It is not unlikely that the
Governor's standing in the polls
will increase substantially, once
the next legislative session con-
venes and Carey takes control
again of center stage.

Maneuvers among Democrats
at the gubernatorial level are
being duplicated somewhat by
Republicans, Victories by Repub-
Means in Nassau and Suffolk
County have clearly bolstered the
prospects of Assembly Minority
Leader Perry B. Duryea, Jr. The
returns in Nassau County have
strengthened the leadership of
GOP county leader Joseph Mar-
giotta, a fervent Duryea support-
er. And Suffolk County is Dur-
yea's home base.

On the other hand, no one
is discounting the prospects of

Republican leadership in the
Senate makes him the most pow-
erful political leader in the State,

“YOUR TURN”

Civil Service
Law & You

By RICHARD GABA

Mr, Gaba is a member of the New York Bar and Chairman @
of the Nassau County Bar Association Labor Law Committee.

Arbitration, Yes

In a recent decision, the Supreme Court, Appellate Divi-
sion, Third Department, held that an alleged failure to
comply with specific time limitations and grievance pro-
cedure did not bar arbitration.

In this case, the court was confronted with a collective
bargaining agreement that contained a broad arbitration.»
clause with no express provision making compliance with
time provisions or a step-by-step grievance procedure a
condition precedent to arbitration.

A collective bargaining agreement was entered into be-
tween the petitioner, County of Rensselaer, and the appel-
lant, Rensselaer County Unit, CSEA. The agreement was
signed on May 21, 1976, covering the period from Jan. 1, 1976,
through Dec. 31, 1976. It provided for a wage increase for all
full-time employees, but the petitioner refused to pay a
share of the increase to employees who were employed
Jan, 1, 1976, but no longer employed on May 2, 1976, tht
date the agreement was signed. Appellant made a demand
for arbitration and petitioner commenced a proceeding seek-
ing a stay of arbitration. Special Term denied appellant's
motion to compel arbitration based on a finding that the
grievance was not filed within the 15-day period set forth
in the agreement and that there was a failure to comply
with the step-by-step grievance procedure.

The Appellate Division noted that, as a general rule, it
is for the courts to make the initial determination as to
whether a particular dispute is arbitrable. Questions of ™
timeliness and compliance with step-by-step grievance pro-
cedures prior to final binding arbitration, however, are ques-
tions of procedural arbitrability and are questions for the
arbitrator. The court stated that “the tendency seems to be,
at least in the absence of a very narrow arbitration clause
or an express provision making compliance with contractual
time limitations precedent to arbitration, to treat contrac-
tual time limitations, and especially those relating to the
step-by-step grievance procedure, as matters of procedural®
arbitrability for the arbitrators.” Matter of Guilderland
Central School District, 45 A.D.2d 85, 356 N.Y,S.2d 689.

e ° e

THIS AGREEMENT contained a broad arbitration clause
with no express clause making compliance with contractual
time provisions or step-by-step grievance procedure condi-
tions precedent to arbitration. Therefore, the court con-
cluded that the failure to comply with the specific time
limitations and the step-by-step grievance procedure raised
questions of procedural arbitrability for the arbitrator and®
are not a bar to arbitration. Rensselaer County v. Rensselaer
County Unit, 396 N.Y.8.2d 514.

What’s Overlooked

With the social security privileges closed to federal em-
ployees for two years, there is a continuing uproar over how
much federal employees actually receive.

Most people forget that much of the money federal em-

Dloyees receive is a return on
their own contributions. The av-
erage federa) annuitant receives
$6,366 a year. He misses out on
lots of the benefits available un-
der social security, however.
Their contributions of 7 percent
of salary compares with 5.85
percent on only the first $16,500
paid in the private sector. More-
over, the retirement benefits for
federal employees are subject to
federal income taxes while social
security benefits are exempt.
Superficial analyses tend to over-
look basics like these.

eee

Most people don't really un-
derstand the ramifications of
proposals to eliminate manda-
tory retirement age of 65 years
old,

At present 10.7 percent of the
population is over 65. By the
year 2000, 12.9 percent will be
over 65—a 9 million increase.
That number will increase by
more than 50 percent by 2030.
What this means is that the ratio
of non-working to working peo-
ple will increase substantially
from the one-to-four ratio in
1972 to one to 3.2 in 1977, and
one to two by 2030. This puts
quite a financial drain on the
working population, particularly
with pension payments increas-
ing to meet the pressures of in-
fation. On the other hand, many
young people feel that raising

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

No More Cuts

Editor, The Leader:

Dr. Hurwite’ analysis and
solution to an alarming increase
in school truancy and the at-
tendant problems thus created—
as revealed in his Education
Forum column Oct. 21 captioned
“Cut Truant Officers"—is, at
best, a case of poor circular
reasoning.

Dr. Hurwits acknowledges that
the New York City Board of Edu-

Manica has cut the attendance

staff from 550 attendance teach-
ers to 200 with a resultant saving
of $50 million. This he applauds
85 @ positive step! He, however,
overlooks the fact that because
of the continuous staff decreases,
there concomitantly has been a
substantial increase in truancy
together with a costly upsurge in
juvenile crime. Despite the fact
that state aid to education is

@ dased on a formula of dally

school attendance, Dr. Hurwitz,
even at a time when the school
system is losing vast sums of
money as the result of extensive
absenteeism, proposes that the
attendance staff be cut further.
Can New York City afford to
lose larger amounts of money?

Would Dr. Hurwitz recommend
that the number of police offi-
cers in our city be cut because
the Police Department has diffi-
culty in coping with an increase
in crimes?

Dr. Hurwitz excoriates the ad-
ministration of the Board of Edu-
cation as “the present mislead-
ership of Livingston Street.” Al-
though the Board of Education
has undeniably been remiss, and
even reprehensible, in many in-
stances, this is no excuse for
making the Bureau of Attend-
ance the scapegoat for what-
ever is awry in the New York
City educational system. The

No, the solution to this prob-

Central/Western
County Workshop -

(From Leader Correspondent)
SYRACUSE—The county workshops of the Central and
Western Regions of the Civil Service Employees Assn. met
jointly Nov. 4 and 5 in Syracuse to discuss topics ranging
from the Taylor Law to the art of negotiations.

William Frame, research an-
alyst at the Region V headquar-
ters in Syracuse, opened the
weekend series of programs with
a historical overview of the la-
bor movement and unionism.

Terdhce Moxley, a Region V
field representative, and Francis
A. Martello, Region V supervisor,
noted that civil servants have
just ended their first decade un-
der the Taylor Law. They both
stressed the need for CSEA to
seriously consider working for
binding arbitration "to settle con-
tract disputes.

Since strikes by public employ-
ees are forbidden under the Tay-
lor Law, and since the Public
Employment Relations Board is
appointed by the Governor,
“binding arbitration may give us
a much fairer shot than going
the PERB route,” Mr. Martello
said.

Both Mr. Moxley and Mr. Mar-
tello pointed to problems inher-
ent in binding arbitration, but
exhorted the membership to ex-
plore more fully its possible ad-
vantages in the bargaining pro-

Mr. Moxley also told the mem-
bers to be proud of their union,

whose contracts stack up favor- @

ably with those of the private-
sector unions.

Tom Pomidoro, a field repre-
sentative from Region VI, ad-
dressed county workshop mem-
bers on the art of negotiating
He emphasized the need for the
unton to have a united front be-
fore management, to impress
management with its knowledge.
“Be neat," he advised. “And
make sure when grievances are
first filed all necessary questions
are answered

“All supervisors are different,”
Mr. Pomidoro said, “and you
would do well to get to know
those differences.”

Ron Smith, a Region V field
representative, stressed the im-
Portance of the steward in the
union, “It's a tough job,” Mr.
Smith said, “but it can be re-
warding

“You have got to have the
facts—in black and white. You
must see the grievance through
from beginning to end.” He, too,
stressed the need for the CSEA
to stick together in meetings with
management—"don't look like a
divided group.”

Mr. Smith said the CSEA

would do well to decrease ui

quantity of grievances now being
filed and increase the quality.

Jack Miller, a field represen-
tative for Region V, discussed in
some detail the duties of a nego-
tiating committee. Most impor-
tantly, he said, “know what your
members want included in that
contract you'll be negotiating.”
To arbitrarily drop a member's
demand without explaining wh

can also create problems, he
added.
‘The employer should have

nothing at all to say about who
is on your negotiating team. The
team has to have a spokesman,
he said, and it helps if he or she
has @ good sense of humor.

“The negotiating team must
whittle down or accept in total
@ list of demands for negotiatin:
Although this is the heart of ne
gotiations,” Mr, Miller said, “the
data or facts to substantiate
these demands are the founda-
tion.”

Adequate preparation is cru~
cial, he said. And remember, he
said, that no substantive state-
ments should be made to mem-
bership or media during the ac-
tual negotiations.

Tt also helps, Mr. Miller
vised, to remind the membe
that they will have final say over

tween the team and manage-
ment, Therefore, they cannot be
“sold down the river” at a nego-
tating table behind closed doors.

Mr. Miller summarized by say-
ing that it helps if one thinks
of the negotiating process as
somewhat of a “horse-trading”
game

Region VI field representative
Robert Young referred to the
“doozies” PERB often assigns to
CSEA disputes. There are some
good ones, he said, “but I, per-
sonally, hate to go to impasse
unless I absolutely have to, With
fact-finding, too, a lot often de-
pends on who PERB sticks you
with."

Meanwhile, Joseph Watkins,
retired municipal director of civil
service and now CSEA consultant
on civil service affairs, was tell-
ing his gathering that the CSEA
had no objection to the state
streamlining services, “but we are
strongly opposed to politicizing
classification, There's a lot of
ways to create a lot of false titles
to get Suzy Q more money.”

Mr, Watkins warned against
the powers of a personnel czar
and proposals for changes in
merit pay increases. “It's all
open to a lot of favoritism. There
must be real controls and real
objective ratings.”

With regard to high pay for
specialized skills, he explained
“No one knows what that means.
All people should be treated alike
if they are doing the same work.

the

Workshop

If there is a difference, then
create @ new classification.”

The CSEA also ts opposing the
decentralization of exams. As Mr.
Watkins put it, “What if each
department had its own steno
exam? A person may have to
take’ 17 different exams. More-
over, operating staffs don’t have
the people to prepare exams—it's
uneconomical. If they have any
money around, let it go for em
ployee benefits.”

Revised probationary periods
also came under attack. Mr.
Watkins explained that it’s like
living in purgatory. They want a
one-year probation for all em-
ployees. I can tell a good typist
in five minutes. We'll fight this
to the bitter end.”

Other topics at the conference
included retirement plans and
options and Section 19-A of the
Motor Vehicle and Traffic Law,
relating to the added responsib-
ilities being placed on, bus drivers
and the new rules and regula-
tions pertaining to the drivers.
(More on this subject will be in-
cluded in next week's issue of
the Leader.)

Francis Miller, Region V Coun-
ty Workshop president, coordin-
ated the activities.

Special guests included Region
V president James Moore, Region
VI president Robert Lattimer,
Region V executive vice-presi-
dent Patricia Crandall, Region V
supervisor Francis Martello, Re-
gion VI supervisor Lee Frank,
and statewide County Division
chairman Joseph Lasarony.

Sabbatical Fight
By L.I. Teacher
Loses In Court

Collective bargaining
agreement language involv-
ing public employees has be-
come so complex and tech-

being asked not only to rule on
disputed issues, but to interpret
ambiguous language.

If you own a Mercedes-

Dasher 2-door Sedan with
standard transmission not
only goes from 0 to 50 miles
per hour quicker than the

Fine as they may be,
neither the Mercedes nor
the Rolls has front-wheel

and it makes all the differ-

tions.

The Mercedes, the
Rolls and the Dasher do
have their similarities.

All 3 have dignified

like reclining bucket seats,

VOLKSWAGEN
DOES IT

Visit your local authorized Volkswagen dealer and find out why
there are over 41/2 million Volkswagens on the American road today.

An example of this came about
last month in a lawsuit by a
Suffolk County teacher denied a
sabbatical leave by the Babylon
Board of Education. The teacher
claimed the refusal was a griev-
ance subject to arbitration. The
board maintained the issue was
not subject to arbitration under
the collective bargaining agree-
ment.

The Babylon board won the
first round in February when a
Suffolk Supreme Court judge
ruled that arbitration was not
required. The Babylon Teachers
Association, representing the
teacher, identified only as a Mr.
Kalmus, appealed to the Brook-
lyn Appellate Division. The re-
sult was the same. The four-
judge court also ruled against
the teacher. But the appeals
court used a “different reason-
ing,” based upon its own in-
terpretation of the contract.

After analyzing the numerous
articles, sections, subdivisions
and paragraphs of the contract,
the court said that because the
grievance was a “personal” one,
affecting only the teacher him-
self, the school board’s refusal
to grant the sabbatical could not
be submitted as an arbitrable
grievance,

However, the appeals court, the
state's second highest tribunal,
pointed out the refusal to grant
sabbaticals could be decided by
arbitration if the denial “jeopar-
dizes the bargained-for right to
sabbatical leave of Babylon's
teachers as a whole.”

In other words, the court said,
despite the language of the con-
tract, which clearly states that
in all requests for arbitration,
“the decisions of the Board of
Education shall be absolutely fi-
nal,” these grievances can be
submitted to arbitration if they
affect all teachers.

‘The court went on to explain
that this section of the contract
could be illegal under state law,
which requires arbitration of
“bargained-for-rights.”

Unfortunately for the teacher,
the ruling meant that the school
board's refusal to grant him a
sabbatical was final because an
arbitrator ould be without
jurisdiction” to consider a “per-
sonal” grievance,

‘The report of the methods and procedures
committee was presented by chairman Al
Mead, of James E. Christian Memorial
Health Local 664, at the 67th annual
meeting of CSEA delegates last month at
the Concord Hotel. Other committee
members are William McMann, Ed Per-
rott, Nicholas Puzziferri, Carmine De-
Batista, Martin Horan, Robert Diaz and
William Crimm,

Since the Special Delegates Meeting in
March, 1977, the Committee has held one
meeting, August 13, 1977, at Albany. The
following is a summary of the actions
of the Committee on the proposals that
were submitted:

PARTI

1, With the commencement of any
future negotiations between CSEA, Inc.
and any employee(s) of CSEA, Inc, the
Officers of CSEA, Inc. shall avoid, to all
extents possible, entering into an agree-
ment which terminates during a year in
which elections for Statewide Officers are
scheduled. Any agreement reached in an
election year shall not be approved until
after the elected officers have assumed
office.

The Commitee recommends adaption
of this proposal in order to avoid any
Possibility of internal conflict arising
during the conduct of a CSEA election.
Adaption of this proposal will also in-
sure the orderly continuation of staff
operations during any transition in
leadership, Furthermore, the resolution
is designed to prevent any advantage,
or disadvantage, to the parties involved,

Delegates Action: defeated.

2. CSEA Inc. shall provide gratuitous
retiree membership to any retiring mem-
ber who has been a full-dues-paying
member for a minimum of ten years,

The Committee recommends adap-
tion of this proposal as an incentive for
expanding our retiree membership and
keeping our members active in CSEA.

Delegates Action: defeated.

3, All standing committees shall report
at meetings of the Delegates immediately
following the reports of Officers.

The Committee recommends adaption
of this proposal so that the Delegates
will be provided the opportunity to act
on the business of such committees in
an orderly manner.

Delegates Action: defeated.

4. Chairpersons of all CSEA Commit-
tees shall report quarterly, in writing, to
the President on the activities of the
Committee, The President shal) provide
copies of such reports, including a listing
of those délinqyent, to the Board of

, Directors,

Al Mead, chairman of methods and pro-
cedures committee, responds to questioner
as he acknowledges with a gesture that
he recognizes next speaker during debate
on proposals,

The Committee recommends adap-
tion of this proposal to insure ac-
countability of the various committees
and also to keep the Officers and
members of the Board advised.

Delegates Action: passed.

PART

(Proposals referred to the Constitution
and By-Laws Committee with recom-
mendations for Adaption.)

1. Independent nominations (petitions)
shall only be accepted from members
not placed on the election ballot by ap-
plication to the appropriate Nominating
Committee.

The Committee's position is that in-
dividuals who desire to seek elective
office have ample opportunity to ob-
tain nomination through a nominating

Ce

out the convention to help delegates better perform their union

committee and that failure to apply
for such nomination prevents the nom-
inating committee from making its
selections from the most qualified can-
didates.

2. Candidates for Statewide President
shall select their own candidate for Ex-
ecutive Vice President. At the time of
application for nomination to the office
of President, each candidate shall submit
the name of the nominee, or nominees,
for Executive Vice President. The Nom-
inating Committee shall announce the
candidates for President and the nom-
inees approved for Vice President by
March 1. The Candidate for President
shall, if necessary, announce the nominee
selected by March 20.

The Committees’ position is that
the office of Exectuive Vice President
is designed to be primarily that of an
executive level assistant to the Presi-
dent. Therefore, in order to provide as-
sistance and cooperation necessary for
the leadership to implement its goals
and objectives the incumbents must be
compatible. The Committee believes that
there is a sufficient enough balance of
power within the CSEA organization
structure to dismiss any concern for
potential abuse. The Committee has
worded this resolution so as to insure
that all nominees for Executive Vice
President must also obtain the approval
of the Nominating Committee,

3. The term of office for all elective
CSEA offices shall be three (3) years.

A.) The President, Executive Vice
President, Secretary, and Treasurer shall
be elected in 1979 for a three year term.

B.) State and County Executive Com-
mittee, Local and Unit Officers shall
be elected in 1979 for a two year term
and again in 1981 for a three year term.

C. Incumbent Regional Officers

Thursday evening banquet was attended by many dignitaries who came to show
their interest in civil service, From left are Assemblywoman Jean Amatucei (D, White
Lake), Leader business manager Nathan Mager and Senator Richard Schermerhorn

(B, Newburi

shall have their term extended for one

year and in 1980 Regional Officers shall

be elected for a three year term.

Examples

1979—Statewide, Board of Directors
Loca] and Unit

1980—Regional

1981—Board of Directors, Local and
Unit

1982—Statewide

1983—Regional

1984—Board of Directors, Local and
Unit

The Committees’ position for exten-
sion of the two-year terms was dis-
cussed in the report presented to the
March, 1977 meeting. The Committee
has received sufficient feedback to re-
vise the original proposal from four
years to the more acceptable three-
year format.

PART I

(Proposals disapproved by the
mittee.)

Com-

LThe Board of Directors be reduced to
four State and four County members
elected at large from each region.

The Committee's position is that any
recommendation for reduction of the
Board should be made by the leader-
ship Le. the Officers and/or a com-
mittee of the Board. It is the opinion
of the Committee that unless the lead-
ership desires to undertake such a task
with unanimous endorsement, it would
otherwise be a frivolous attempt.

2. A position of an Administrative As-
sistant shall be provided to the President.
‘The Committee feels that such a po-
sition js not necessary, The staff, as
well as the other Officers, serve at the
direction of the President.

3. The President shall appoint a spe-
cial committee to develop a community
relations program for CSEA, Inc.

The Committee position is that such
an assignment is the responsibility of
the Public Relations Staff

4. Prior to debate, each statewide offi-
cer shall be provided the time determin-
ed by the rules of the convention to ad-
dress the delegates on any printed reso-
lution submitted for consideration.

The Committee tabled this proposal.

‘The Committee would like to conclude
this report with a sincere expression of
sratitude to all the Officers, Delegates
and members who have been of immeas-
urable assistance to us during the last
couple of years. Our service has been a
most rewarding experience, We hope that
our proposals have served to the advant-
Of everyone inyolyed in CSEA.

Deinstitutionalization Denounced

HAUPPAUGE—The state’s
deinstitutionalization pro-
gram was the target of a re-
cent day-long denunciation
here Nov, 9 in the first of a series
of public hearings conducted by
Assemblyman Paul Harenberg
(D-Bayport), chairman of the
Assembly mental health subcom-
mittee on aftercare.

The attack by Long Island of-
ficials was keynoted by Long Is-
land CSEA Region I President
Irving Flaumenbaum, Mental
Hygiene local presidents and a
list of public officials,

Local support for the state pro-
gram of “dumping” mental pa-
tients into the community ap-
peared to be non-existent.

Mr. Flaumenbaum declared
that the plan was bad for the
patients, the communities and
the four major Mental Hygiene

“Tt is @ budget gimmick,” Mr.
Plaumenbaum told The Leader
after the hearing. “It is a gim-
mick without any merit what-
ever, because, if you forget the
human values—and no one here
today was willing to do that—we
don’t even believe that it would
accomplish the objective of sav-
ing money, It is a budget gim-
mick, and a campaign gimmick.”

Mr. Flaumenbaum was joined
in testimony by Danny Donohue,
president of the Central Islip Lo-
cal 404, Greg Szurnicki, Mental
Hygiene Department representa-
tive and president of the Kings

teachers and non-teaching pro-
fessionals to block implementa-
tion of a provision of the state's
new Agency Shop Law.

Tt marks the first major chal-
lenge to the law which provides
that deductions be taken from
non-union public employee's pay~
checks to cover union expenses.
Legislators, noting that all public
employees benefit from union ef-
forts, overwhelmingly voted in
favor of the measure.

The SUNY agency fee provi-
sion was passed in a separate
chapter amendment during the
last week of the spring legisia-
tive session, About 4,500 of the
15,000 members of the 32 campus
SUNY system are members of
the United University Profes-
sionals (UUP), the NYSUT/
AFL-CIO affiliate which repre-
sents the SUNY professional
staff, The UUP dues are 1 per-
cent of salary, or an average of
$140-$150 per person,

The suit charges there is no
procedure permitting a faculty
member to request a rebate of
state and national fees not di-
rectly used for improving, or
protecting, terms and conditions

of employment,

It also charges under UUP
procedure an individual wanting
@ rebate can make the request
only between Sept. 1 and Sept.
15. Beyond that, if there is a
dispute over the amount which
should be rebated, an individual
is forced to bear the cost of ar-
bitration to resolve the dispute.

‘The suit was filed in State Su-
preme Court. It calls on the state
to end deducting SUNY agency
fees until the procedures change.

Troy Contract Includes ‘Me-Too’ Clause

By DEBORAH CASSIDY

TROY—A year and a half of negotiations
between the City of Troy and the Civil Ser-
vice Employees Assn, has resulted in a
three-year contract granting employees a
6 percent wage increase in 1978 and a total
of 7% percent increases for 1979.

Based primarily on a Public Employment
Relations Board fact-finder’s recommenda-
tion, the contract contains no raise for 1977,
but includes a clause granting an increase
if any is given to the police and firemen,
who are currently in binding arbitration.

The schedule for the increase will be 6
percent on January 1978, 5 percent on Jan-
uary 1979 and 5 percent on July 1979. Incre-
ment steps will be doubled, for most em-
ployees, and added into salaries before
figuring the percentage raises.

Through the implementation of double

jumps, the negotiators expect to bring
lower-paid employees more rapidly up to
salary levels in tune with today’s cost of
living.

Additional benefits include a $100 increase
in longevity bonuses, Agency Shop and the
60B death benefit.

Edward LaPlante, City of Troy unit presi-
dent, commented, “The contract offered em-
ployees a decent wage for the next two
years. Though we would have liked to obtain
more benefits, the members liked the pro-
posals.”

Though he remains objective about this
contract, Mr. LaPlante stressed that next
time the negotiating committee will be seek-
ing a better benefit package, including in-
creased sick time and more extensive health
coverage.

CSEA Wins Increments, Promotions

(Continued from Page 1)
the negotiating table was in er-
ror, CSEA contended that no
eligible employee would lose any
increment or incur any reduced
salary increase upon promotion
during the life of the agree-
ments, which run through March
31, 1979. CSEA promised to file
grievances and defend its posi-
tion through arbitration if the
State persisted with its interpre-
tation, With that promise of le-
al action, state employees over-
whelmingly approved the new
two-year contracts,

When some state workers be-
came adversely affected due to
reduced increases upon promo-
tion, CSEA filed a class action
Grievance against the State cov-
ering all employees affected and
to be affected in the future. And,
in anticipation of a loss of inere-

ments for some eligible workers
in 1978, and because the two is-
sues were closely related, CSEA
filed @ second grievance on the
incremental situation. All incre-
ments due in 1977 were paid and
were not affected by the state's
position,

Shortly after the two griev-
ances were filed by the union,
representatives of CSEA and the
state Office of Employee Rela-
tions entered into what developed
into several weeks of intensive
discussions in an effort to resolve
the problems short of third party
intervention. “It became clear to
us that the State was genuinely
concerned about the situation
and both sides entered into the
prolonged effort to solve the is-
sues,” Mr. McGowan noted.

‘Under terms of the settlement,
Mr. McGowan announced, the

State has agreed to treat all
state employees on the payroll
as of March 31, 1977, exactly as
though the basic salary schedule
had been increased for purposes
of promotion and increment
eligibility. “That means that in
terms of promotional increases
during the life of the agreements
and incremental increases next
fiscal year, those eligible em-
ployees will be treated exactly as
though the basic salary schedule
was increased by the amounts of
the individual increases, that is,
5 percent retroactive to April 1,
1977, an additional 4 percent ret~
roactive to Oct. 1, 1977, and an
additional 5 percent next April
1," Mr. McGowan said. Payment
of loss of salary increases for
those promoted since April 1 will
be retroactive to the date of pro-
motion.

And, the union leader reported,
the State has agreed to issue a
salary schedule for ¢mployees on
the payroll effective as of April
2, 1978, that is increased by 5
percent over the existing sched-
ule, dropping the two longevity
incremental payments for those
new employees only. Mr. Mc-
Gowan noted that increments are
subject to negotiations and would
have to be renegotiated for the
next contract anyway, “Incre-
ments will be items of negotia-
tion in the future,” he prom-
ised.

The CSEA president said that
technical amendments to the law
are necessary to accomplish the
resolution, and the parties have
agreed to jointly sponsor legis-
lation to accomplish this goal
early in the 1978 legislative ses-
sion,
