Seminar For

(Special to The Leader)

BUFFALO — A one-day
training seminar for shop
stewards, sponsored by the
Western Region of the Civil
Service Employees Assn., will be
conducted for employees in Alie-
wany, Cattaraugus and Chau-
taugua counties at the Castle
Inn in Olean on May 1, The
program is designed to equip
shop stewards with the most ef-
fective techniques possible to
protect union members.

Mr. Doyle said the rival union
is finding out the allegiance of
the vast majority of employees
is with CSEA. At the time of the
last contract ratification, Mr.
Doyle said about 18 dissident
case workers resigned from
CSEA because they thought the
raises negotiated were too amall.
He noted that the raises were
in line with federal wage guide-
lines, and the contract was rati-
fied by more than a 2-1 majority.

Mr. Doyle objected to APSCME
tactics, and said it was illegal for
the raiders to pay caseworkers
to distribute their literature and
decertification cards, and also
to do it on county time.

James Powers, regional super-
visor, voined his support and
went on to disouss problems fac-
ing most chapters.

3 SOUTHERN COUNTIES

Members Reaffirming Support For CSEA

(Special to The Leader)
KINGSTON—Evidence continues to mount that scores
of public employees who formerly supported a pair of unions
attempting to challenge the Civil Service Employees Assn.
(CSEA) in a three-county area in southern New York have

become disenchanted with the
tactics of the challenging unions
and are now withdrawing and
revoking their earlier support

“Our field representatives and
local CSEA chapter officials in
Orange, Sullivan and Ulster
Counties have been contacted by
literally scores of county em-
ployees seeking advice on how
to revoke thelr former support
of the other unions,” according
to Joseph Dolan, CSEA's director
of local government affairs.

Both other unions have been
attempting to solicit signed des-
ignation cards from employees
in all three counties to challenge
CSEA's representation rights.

Second Thoughts

“A large number of employees
who earlier had signed a card
for either of those out-of-state
unions have now had second
thoughts because of the tactics
of those unions and now wish to
formally revoke their indicated
support of them,” Mr, Dolan
said, “Many Ulster County em-
ployees are thoroughly unhappy

fire fighters. A little before
seven a.m. April 22 a blast
blew apart a commercial
‘bullding on East 45th St. The
possibilities were so frightful
that dt boggles the mind to
‘think about them.

For instance, just suppose if
someone, doing what most peo-
ple would do if they came to
work and found a building filled
with gas fumes, had picked up
the phone and called the Pire
Department. Two trucks, two
engines and a chief would have
responded. Then what?

In such cases, the companies
pull into the block and usually
@o to a point directly in front
of the address they receive. In
routine fashion they would enter
the building, go first to the cel-
lar and into the meter room and
start their search from there.

Had this happened, the ap-
paratus and everyone in the
street would have been’ buried
under 25 stories (not 25 feet) of
falling brick wall and the men
inside the building wouldn't have
stood a chance of survival when
the blast came. Providence was
once again on the side of the
fire fighter, as it seems to be
in most cases. It boils down to
lot more than luck. Ask any
dedicated fire fighter, After a
pause and a@ lot of thought, he'd
Probably agree that, now that
you mention it, there must be
something to it...

I've been photographing fire
fighters doing their job for more
than 25 years. During the last
two years, concentrating on
getting a lot of motion picture
footage for a documentary, I
have watched the fireman's
quiet professionalism, going into
situations which would discour-
age the devil himself, But the
fire fighter seems to take even
the worst fire conditions in
stride without the batting of an
eyelash,

500-foot long building at Nos-
trand and Myrtle ‘Aves. in
Brooklyn, Gas had been escaping
in there for some part of the
weekend. Fortunately the bulld-
ing was unoccupied at the time
or the first people coming to
work might have sent in an
alarm, Had that happened, the
fall first alarm assignment
would most probably have been
lost because the building just
blew apart and ended in a heap.

Shortly after that one, there
was @ seven-story meat packing
warehouse at 13ist St. and 10th
Ave, It started late in the after-
noon and burned throughout the
night. The companies were in-
side and up the stairway with
Battalion Chief George Finnerty
leading the way, Suddenly, his
sixth sense, which most firemen
Possess, smelled danger and he
ordered all his men out fast.
They no sooner hit the street
than the seven-story brick bulld-
ing collapsed into s heap of
brick and rubble, Everyone was
safe but the agony of “counting
heads” after something like that
is a desperate experience until
all hands are accounted for.

In 1952 at Johnson and Man-
hattan Aves. in Brooklyn, they
closed up a six-story building
used as a manufacturing ware-
house. The windows had been
either bricked up or painted shut
but when the door closed on
Priday night, that building was
light, A cigarette tossed into a
wastebasket began to smoulder.
Through the weekend and on
into Monday, a holiday, the
small fire ate up all the oxygen
in the building, On Tuesday
morning at about five am
somebody saw a whisp of smoke
seeping from a window and
pulled the box. When 108 Truck
opened the door a backdraft’
took place which caused the
building to explode into fire and
the force of the explosion blew
the company into the street and
into the gutter, Nobody was
hurt.

‘The next classic example (and
there are dozens, including the
Harlem spectacular) was the
famous Modell fire in a six-story
warehouse used by Modell De-
partment stores at Broadway
and Fulton St, A fire started on
Friday night and burned slowly
over the weekend and on a
rainy Monday morning when 10

box, opened up the front door,

Mediator’s Role —
What He Wants

(Editor's Note: The following article appeared in
recent issue of PERB News, the monthly
State Public Employment Relations Board, Because
a mediator’s view of what he expects of

as a service to its readers.)

By NATHAN COHEN
Supervising Mediator, NYS PERB
In post mortem discussions of contract negotiations,
parties will frequently comment on the capabilities and con-
tributions or lack of capabilities or contributions of the
neutral mediator or factfinder if a third party neutral

attended the negotiations, Medi-
ators and factfinders similarly
reminisce with each other about
the trials and tribulations they
regularly endure because of the
tack of capabilities of the parties.
As a practicing neutral who
never participates in negotiations
@s an advocate or as a contract-
ing party, I shall refrain from
speculating about what the par-
ties expect of the third party
neutral and shall address myself
only to what the mediator or
factfinder expects of the par-

Newman,
Conciliation, cajoled the parties
to bargain in good faith by ap-
proaching the bargaining table
“with the intention of seeking
agreement," and to avoid high-
lighting and dignifying a “myriad
or minutiae” with prolonged an-
alysis and argument while pos-
albly not doing justice to the
essential and crucial issues which
form the essence of the contract.
Explore Fully

Assuming both parties desire
to reach an equitable agreement
and that both sides have settled
or put aside non-essential de-
mands, how can the parties best
utilize the services of the third
party neutral if they are still at
loggerheads over items such as
salaries, hours, workload, etc.?

First and foremost, the medi-
ator or factfinder would expect
that the parties have fully ex-
plored and understood their dif-
ferent positions so that there
is no question that an impasse
exists. By exploration, I mean
not only discussing the demands
‘or responses as presented by the
parties, but also discussing real-
istic alternative and fall-back po-
sitions,

Too often parties agree with

Of course, even though the ex-
fstence of an impasse may be
defined by statute according to
the calendar and the use of im-
Passe procedures ts governed by
law, the parties should not aban-
don their negotiation efforts on
the grounds that time has run
out. They may still meet by them~
selves to do what ts necessary
while the mediator remains avail-
ble on call or is used for pro-
cedural guidance.

I have mentioned that the par-
ties should be able to explore
alternative or fall-back positions

to paint himself into a corner
with nowhere to go. Too often
® union or employer will refuse
to consider what will happen if
the other side Is not amenable
to accepting a “final” or “un-
alterable" proposal or demand,
‘When the bluff is called and the
proposal is effectively turned
down, alternatives will have to
be sought unless negotlations are
to be abruptly terminated.

If one recognizes an interre-
lationship between items such as
salaries, working time, workload,
staffing, holidays, vacation, sick
leave, productivity, length of con-
tract term, etc., it should be ob-
vious that the judicious coupling
and recoupling of Items may re-
sult in a degree of flexibility that
obviates the need to take fixed

Finally, the mediator expects
the parties vo recognize the dif-
ference between what 1s equit-
able and what is acceptable.

Equitable arguments are grist
for the arbitration mill. If the

For Buffalo Employees

BUFFALO — Robert L. Lattimer, president of the Civil
Service Employees Assn. Manpower Services and Unemploy-
ment Insurance Division chapter, has received a promise of
increased police attention in response to a complaint about

unsafe neighborhood conditions
around the Department of Labor
offices,

Several of the employment and
unemployment offices are located
in the Chippewa-Delaware Ave-
nue section of Buffalo, and staff
members feel threatened by as-
saults, When the management
did not react to complaints, Mr.
Lattimer, on behalf of the mem-
bers, wrote to the Mayor, Stanley
Makowski, for help. Mr. Latti-
mer reported that a police cap-
tain later contacted them and
promised to dispatch more pa-
trolmen to the area, although he
warned that the effort for safe
streets was never-ending.

Following is Mr. Lattimer's
letter to the mayor.

“Dear Mayor Makowski:

“As president of the Manpower
Services and Unemployment In-
surance Division chapter of the
Civil Service Employees Assn., I
would like to register a com-
plaint about an area in which
many of us work.

“The Department of Labor has
&@ major employment office lo-
cated at 119 West Chippewa 8t.,
near Delaware, and the District
Office at 200 Franklin Street,
The situation in and around
these locations is deplorable.

“On several occasions, some of
our employees have managed to
escape from what could have
been serious assaults, It hae be-
come both frightening and dan-
werous for employees to leave the
confines of the offices at lunch
periods, after working hours, and
even in the early morning hours

when approaching these offices.
“Therefore, I feel that this

matter deserves your immediate
attention and action to better

* Protect those of us working in

this area, Perhaps more police
patrols or better enforcement of
the laws should be considered.

“I hope thet you understand
my concern and will remedy this
problem. Buffalo is a great city
and {ts streets should be kept
safe and clean for everyone.

“Thank you for your prompt
cooperation.”

Kingston

presently is negotiating for a
new contract on behalf of the
employees. A CSEA spokesman
said the withdrawal by SEIU
leaves the employees as a fully
united and strong force at the
bargaining table, pointing out
that the presence of a challeng-
ing union places the employees
in a weaker position in the eyes
of the employer during negotia-
tions.

‘The CSEA spokesman said
SEIU was never able to gather
any substantial support from
among school district people and
the withdrawal of their petition,
filed last fall, proves it, The
Public Employment Relations
Board (PERB) approved the

withdrawal request, signed by

SEIU organizer John Geagan, on
April 19.

Release-Time
Rules Are Eased
For Monroe

ROCHESTER—The Monroe County chapter of the Civil
Service Employees Assn. has won a liberalized outlook on
release time for union business in the settlement of an im-
proper practice charge against the county.

As a result of the settlement,
@ memorandum agreement was
drawn up by the union and the
county which clarified the pro-
visions of the existing contract
in respect to release time for
union business

In addition to the memoran-
dum of agreement on release
time, the county and the union
also reached agreement concern-
ing a reduced work load for
county employees taking time for
union business,

A memorandum from Liucien
Morin, county manager, states:
“Tt was agreed that in accord-
ance with the terms and intent
of the collective bargaining
agreement, it would be unreason~
able to expect a union represen-
tative, who spends working hours
on union business, to perform
the same amount of work as any
other employee. It was concluded
that a commensurate reduction
in workload in direct relation to
time spent on union business is

an equitable solution to this
question.”

According to Martin Koenig,
president of the Monroe County
chapter of CSEA, “This improp-
er practice charge was brought
against the county after numer-
ous instances of interference on
the part of management when
qualified employees requested
time off for union business, In
some cases, officials actually
questioned employees about the
details of their union business.
In effect, the county tried unt-
laterally to redefine contract
janguage concerning release
time.”

Mr, Koenig continued, “The
memorandum of agreement and
the memorandum concerning
work loads should clear up our
problems and allow our union
representatives the necessary
freedom they need to work for

the people they represent.”

Fire Officers Would Muscle Out ‘Intro 2’

The Uniformed Pire Officers
Assn, fearing that the City
Council's passage of Intro 2
would be “nothing but a cruel
hoax by a small segment of our
society who are affileted by a
peculiar persuasion” and would
disrupt its own “noble effort to
save life and property from
fire,” plan a mass rally in uni-
form April 30 at noon in City
Hall Park.

Intro 2, as the bill is called,
would extend equal employment
and housing rights to homo-
sexuals. Through lobbying ef-
forts of the Gay Activist Alll-
ance, the bill came out of the
council Committee on General
Welfare last week by a vote of
seven to one, and will be up for
a vote by the entire council
April 30.

The UFOA, with a member-
ship of 2,600 officers supervising
11,000 firemen, say the union
“acknowledges and supports civil
rights for all citizens who act in
@ reasonable and respectable
manner,” but opposes legisla-
tion that would allow “sex devi-
ates” to be employed as fire
fighters, police officers and
teachers.

“This legislation would result
in a change of definition of what

constitutes normalcy in human
behavior,” the UFOA’s executive
board said in a statement.

In a recent newsletter the
union urged its membership to
write letters to all City Counell-
men, the Mayor, members of
the Board of Estimate and the
county leaders, and provided
names and addresses of all,

Delegations of fire officers will

Sick Leave Bank

IHERE has been a trend recently toward more coop-
erative programs among members of unions, giving
more meaning to the use of the terms “Brother” and “Sis-
ter” that many union members use when referring to their

co-members,

One of these developments has been the establishment
of a sick-leave bank, as written Into the 1974 contract of
the Civil Service Employees Assn.’s Broome County unit.

Under terms of the agreement, CSEA members donate
two days of sick leave time at the time of their joining
the organization, and one day each year thereafter,

Thus, if a fellow member enrolled in the program ts
hit by a lengthy illness, he or she would be eligible to draw
up to 100 days of sick leave after his or her available leave

time accrued for vacations,
been used up.

regular sick leave, etc,, had

Unity of employees as a counterbalance to management
has become a time-honored element of the capitalist system
in this country, And, as such, unions have developed an
important role in the progress of our society.

On the other hand, we think it also worth noting when
unions accept their responsibility to their own members in
developing programs of mutual aid such as the one instituted

in Broome County.

We wish the sick-leave bank success.

Questions

Answits

Q. I heard that Medicare now
covers kidney treatment and kid-
ney transplants, Do I have to be
getting monthly social security
disability checks in order to
qualify for this Medicare cover-
age?

A. No, If you've worked long
enough under social security to
be insured, you, your wife, and
any dependent children who re-
quire dialysis or a kidney trans-
plant are eligible for Medicare
coverage, Eligibility begins the
3rd month after the month in
which dialysis is begun.

Q. I'm 64 and I've been getting
monthly social security disability
payments for nearly 3 years, I
heard that disability payments
are not made to people after 65.
Since my payments are a big
part of my income, what will
I do when I turn 65?

A. You'll continue to get pay-
ments after you're 65, but they
will be retirement benefits rather
than disability, The only change

ris that the payment comes from

a different social security trust
fund. The switch-over will be
automatic and will not cause
any interruption in your month-
ly checks.

Q. Shortly after his 18th birth.
day last summer, my son was
severely injured in a car acct-
dent, and he probably won't ever
be able to work. Even though I
get monthly social security re-
tirement payments, my son
couldn't get checks when we ap-
plied last year because he was
over 18 at the time of the ac~
cident, Now, I hear that I should
reapply for him because of some
recent changes tn the law, Is
this true?

A. Yes, Now a child severely
disabled before 22 can qualify
for social security payments if
one of his parents is getting ben-
efits or died after working long
enough under social security.
You should call, write, or visit
any social security office to re-

apply for benefits for your son,

adjourns, the members will be
called back to draw up new lines
for Congressional, Senate and
Assembly districts in Bronx,
Brooklyn and Manhattan. This
has to be done to comply with
‘4 court order, under the Federal
Civil Rights Law, to give better
representation to black and Puer-
to Rican residents in those bor-
oughs,

Once these lines are drawn,
you can see the start of some
heated primaries among Demo-
cratic white incumbents and
Democratic minority group chal-
lengers for an opportunity to
represent these new districts in
Congress and in the State Leg-
islature, Candidates for state-
wide nominations in the Demo-
cratic primaries will be faced
with tough decisions about whom
to support in these local con-
tests or to take the risk of
neutrality. How much bitterness
and antagonism will remain after
these primaries are over is a
question that is likely to blind
the most far-sighted prophet.

Then there is the fact that
the members of the City Coun-
cil, except those who represent
each of the five boroughs at-
large, have to run again this
year. Normally members of the
Council are elected for a four-
year term, in an odd-number
year so as not to conflict with
the state’s general elections.
However, # court ruled that the
Council districts were improp-
erly gerrymandered and so a
new election was ordered. this
year in new Council districts,
Again, some hot primaries Joom
ahead, particularly among the
Democrats.

Attract Voters

In Manhattan, a hot contest
fs shaping up in the race for
District Attorney to succeed the
late Frank Hogan. The incum-
bent Richard Kuh is a Demo-
crat appointed by Governor Wil-
son. He is likely to get ithe Re-
publican nomination without a
primary, but is faced with seri-
ous opposition for the Demo-
cratic nomination, Opposing him
already are Robert Morgenthau,
a former US. Attorney; Assem-
blyman Peter A. Berle, and Mar-
tin Garbus, a libera) attorney
who has written extensively on
legal subjects, Morgenthau is do-
ing very well at the West Side
Reform houses.

The Conservative party has of-
fered its nomination to Roy
Cohn, an experienced and active
trial attorney and former federal
prosecutor of the Rosenbergs.
Cohn has not yet decided wheth-
er he will make the race, but
has indicated that if he does,
he will also, as a Democrat, enter
the Democratic primary for that
office, At beat, it is difficult to
predict who wil! win the Demo-
cratic primary, and if Cohn does
go in, he will add a new and dy-
namic dimension that will make
prediction impossible, However,
the prediction here is that Cohn
will decide against making the
race—enjoying the “ride.”

Hot primary comests for nom-
inations for Congress, the Sen-
ate, the Assembly, the City Coun-
cil, and for Manhattan District
Attorney are expected to at-
tract thousands of additional
voters to the polls. In addition,
special drives are under way to

Entitled To A Benefit

The Court of Appeals has upheld a lower court ruling
which ordered that certain lieutenants in the New York
City Police Department be granted increments retroactively
‘to the date on which other candidates for the position had
received increments pursuant to stipulation entered into
in the course of litigation attacking approved answers to
the questions on the examination for lieutenant. Abrams
v. Bronstein, decided March 27, 1974.

The petitioner was a member of the New York City
Police Department who participated in an examination for
promotion to lieutenant. He had since been appointed to
the lieutenant grade, but claimed that he had been unlaw-
fully denied a certain benefit, “retroactive annual salary
increments,” which the respondents, members of the New
York City Department of Personnel and Bureau of the Bud-
get and others, had granted to other Heutenants appointed
pursuant to the same examination. The other lieutenants
had received the benefit in question pursuant to a stipula-
tion in another lawsuit, Amendola vy. Hoberman, an Article
78 proceeding which challenged the validity of some of the
approved answers to the examination questions.

THE AMENDOLA PROCEEDING had been commenced
after the grading of the test but before the list ranking those
eligible for a promotion as a result of the examination was
compiled. As incidental relief, the Amendola petitioners were
seeking to stay the establishment of an eligible Hst until
the completion of their litigation, To avoid this stay and to
allow the Police Department to make appointments, the
City entered into a stipulation whereby it was agreed that
if the Amendola petitioners were successful in their chal-
lenge, a revised list would be established and upon actual
appointment each Amendola petitioner would be granted a
retroactive date of appointment for all purposes except back
pay.

The original list was established by the City May 6,
1968, prior to the judgment rendered in Amendola. Subse-
quently, when the Amendola challenge was successful, the
eligible list had to be revised pursuant to the various test
answers which had been newly approved by the judgment.
While the Judgment required only the re-rating of the ex-
aminations of the participants in the Amendola lawsuit, the
Department of Personnel on its own initiative equitably
re-rated the examinations of all candidates in accordance
with the revised answers and issued a new list of eligibles.

THE PETITIONERS in the Abrams case were not among
the Amendola petitioners. They included candidates appear-
ing for the first time on the revised list and candidates who
appeared on both the original and revised list but advanced
in the revised ranking and thus would gain by use of the
Amendola formula calculating the date of appointment. The
present petitioners, like those in Amendola, were granted
retroactive appointment dates in accordance with their posi-
tions on the revised list for the purpose of future promotion.
The Amendola petitioners were granted the additional bene-
fit of retroactive salavy Increments.

The petitioners in the Abrams case challenged this dif-
ferentiation as a violation of the equal protection guarantees
of the Federal and State Constitution and sought a declara-
tory judgment stating that they are entitled to receive
retroactive annual salary increments for the period between
their actual and retroactive appointment dates as granted
the Amendola petitioners.

‘The court noted that the equal protection provisions
of both the Federal and State Constitutions apply to actions
taken by administrative departments of local government
units. An agency of the State denies equal protection when
it treats a person similarly situated differently under law,
Such a difference may be created by the grant of a prefer-
ence as well as by the imposition of a burden. The traditional
test for the denial of equal protection under State law is
“whether the challenged classification rests on grounds
wholly irrelevant to the achievement of a valid State ob-
jective,” ie ¢

THE CITY ARGUED that it had properly denied the
retroactive annual salary increment to the petitioners in the
Abrams case while granting it to the others by a classifica-
tion based upon participation in the Amendola stipulation.
The City claimed that it was obligated to grant this benefit

Editor, The Leader:

I refer to your editorial of

‘Therein, you state that the

called Pendleton Act in 1883,
‘This was the first legislation in
this country to establish a class
of civil service based on merit

‘His successor, 8, Grover Cleve-
land, served as Erie County
sheriff and Mayor of Buffalo

fect in support of labor and Ia-
bor unions, The Railway Labor
‘Act of 1934 was soon followed
by the National Labor Relations
Act ‘commonly called the Wag-
ner Act) in 1935—which estab-
Mshed, for the first time, the
statutory right of workers to
organize into unions and bar-
gain for benefits. This act ts
still considered the Magna Carta
of the labor union movement.
Also, that same year, the Fair
Labor Standards Act provided
for a minimum hourly wage and
payment of time-and-a-half for
time worked over 40 hours;
which explains why it was called
the Wages and Tours Law.
Roosevelt's birthdate is January
30.

So, when it’s holidays we seek,
let's consider January 30 or Oc-
tober 5 or March 18 as possible
memorials to those who served
the interest of CSEA.

Merit System Is Full
Of Legal Loopholes

Editor, The Leader:

“One-in-three” hiring for civil
service employment Is theoreti-
cally sound but is, in practice,

subject to abuse by those who

5, affirmed the legality of the
method but did not declare that
it was the best one or that it
couldn't be changed.

‘The Federal Court, with whose
opinion the Supreme Court con-
curred, wrote that those who
are passed over don't lose any-
thing but are in the same posi-
tion “they now enjoy.” ‘The
Judges being products of politt-
eal clubs with inherent influ-
ence-peddling know little of the
effort, time and money that go
into preparing for an exam.
‘Those at the top of lists who
don't get appointed certainly
don't “enjoy” having less money,
no job and/or no promotion,

Mayor Beame in January
made it mandatory that hiring
in New York City be done in
strict Ust order, The decision
was made after a thorough in-
vestigation showed wide-spread
@buse of the one-in-three option.

Announcing his order, Mayor
Beame said: “To preserve the
civil service system and to avoid
favoritism and improper and
unjust discrimination, all heads
of city agencies are hereby di-

As a long-time state civil ser-
vice employee, I have seen and
been a victim of all types of
“angles” used to get a relative,
@ political favorite or a personal
friend into a civil service posi-
tion, All methods were perfectly
legal. The civil service merit

loopholes than a sieve has holes.

register increasing numbers of
minority groups to make them
eligible to vote in both the Sep-
tember primary and in the Nov-
ember election.

Voters in both the State and
in ‘the City have shown increas-
ing independence of political or-
ganizations and political labels,
In these cireumstances, no one
who can file enough petition sig-
natures to get on the ballot can
be counted out.

Nominating petitions have to
be filed in June. When the peti-
tions are filed, it may be safe
to draw tentative conclusions
about election prospects. But at
this moment, it is safe only to
predict & long and hot political
Summer until the enrolled party
voters have their say in the Sep-
tember primary.

As of this writing, the Presi-
dent has neither signed nor
vetoed a House-Senate cleared
Dill that would mean annuity
boosts for hundreds of thousands
of retirees and/or their sur-
vivors.

‘The legislation, which the
President opposes, would hike
the minimum civil service an-
nuity to par with the minimum
paid under social seourity. That
is $90.40 now but would rise to
$94.50. All former federal work-
ers who retired prior to Oct. 20,
1969, would get an extra $240
per year, and their survivors
would get a flat $182 more per
year,

Although the White House
has termed the bill a “raid on
the Treasury," sources think
there's a 40-60 chance the Pres-
ident will reluctantly sign the
vill since it went through Con-
gress with such strong support:
270 to 95 in the House and 77
to 16 in the Senate, indicating
the likelihood of overriding a
veto.

The IRS Is Watching You

Every federal worker earning
$20,000 or more per year would
have his tax returns audited an-
nually under a little-noticed
section of the . Senate-passed
campatgn reform bill.

The Post Office-Civil Service

‘These examples of how men
could have been killed and
weren't should give the young-
sters coming into the job today
a little food for thought, es-
pecially if they look at the job
of being a fire fighter as just
another job where the pay is
good and you can out in 20. It
goes far beyond that, believe me,

Citizens Tell Beame
“We Told You So...”

The Citizens Budget Commis-
sion last week told Mayor Beame
he wouldn't have had to worry
about that $1.5 billion budget gap
if the city had followed the Com-
mission's advice.

The advice came in the form
of 18 separate research studies
published since 1971 by the non-
Partisan civic group. The city
could have trimmed costs and
realized a savings of $30 million
if it followed the Commission's
recommendations, according to
CBC president Roderic O'Connor.

‘The controversial recommenda-
tions included such items as in-
creasing “rapid water" in the
Fire Dept., replacing desk-bound
police officers with civilians and
putting the cops back on the
streets; removing the third man
from sanitation trucks, and, the
most unwelcome suggestion
the Beame team, reversing
campaign pledge of increasing
the police force by 3,000 officers.

To Oversee Equality
In All City Agencies

City Councilman Robert Was-
ner, Jr, (D-Manhettan) plans to

tive Code that would establish
@ new independent city agency
to oversee all levels of hiring
city employees.

The new agency, the Office
of Government Recruitment and
Employment, would monitor re-
cruitment procedures, job quall-
fications, validation of civil ser-
vice exams, the selection and
Promotion process, job classifi-
cations, salary levels and job
training. Tt would also esteblish
procedures for judging griev-
ances filed for any hiring, pro-
motion or on-the-job discrimina-
tion.

The director of the office
would be sppointed to a five-
year term by the Mayor who
would consult women and minor-
ity organizations before the sel-
ection.

The legislation originated from
Women In City Government
United, a group of about 500
women employed at all levels of
the city’s civil service organized
to fight discrimination and for
reform in benefits to women.

State Hospital in Queens to Gov-
ernor Wilson.)
“Dear Gov. Wilson:

“In the review of your speech
in The Leader to the CSBA
Delegates, it was interesting to
note that you are ‘willing and
anxious to extend the letter of
agreement for another year’ for
the development of career Ind-

years is long enough to talk
about something that is well-
deserved and long overdue? Stop
the talking and let's have some
ACTION

“In the Administrative Unit of
the Dept. of Mental Hygiene, the
character of our jobs has
changed drastically over the
past five years, with much add-
ed responsibility and work load;
yet nothing has been done to
reallocate titles and items to co-
ineide with this growth.

“You should realize that the
spiraling cost of living is affect-
ing your lowest paid workers just
as much, if not more, as the
highly paid ones. I am referring
to the February 22 article in the
New York Daily News which
states that you ‘asked for pay
raises for the highest-salaried
state commissioners and top
aides, as well as $15,000 pay in-
creases for the State Attorney
General and the State Comp-
troller.’ These raises come easily,
but when it comes to promoting
the little guy, there always
seems to be a ‘budget’ problem.

“At Creedmoor State Hospital,
it 4s hard for some one in the
Administrative Unit to get a
Promotion even if they pass a
Promotional exam. You get the
story, “There are no items;
there's @ freeze; or, there ls no
money in the budget.’ Yet, if
the ‘right’ person wants an item
for some one, tt magically ap-
Pears and is given provisionally,
while the person who really de-
serves it sits in the same spot.
Also, while the institution was
claiming freeze and no money,
dozens of G-25 Treatment Team
Leaders and several Deputy Ad-
ministrative Assistants, G-18's

perlod cannot be appealed. Does
the State believe that all de-
partment heads and supervisors
are completely fair and un-
biased at all times? This should
be changed at once to a more
democratic process!

“I am happy to see that you
‘will recommend the change to
90 days of continuous service
any time within the year prior
to death’ in order to be eligible
for death benefits.

“I also support and strongly
advocate passage of the follow-
ing bills now before the Legis-
Jature:

“1. Labor Law Gafety &
Health Standards — 8, 9908,
A. 4642.

“2. Union Security Provisions
Under the Taylor Law — 8. 5301,
A. 11044.

“3, Right to Union Represen-
tation — S. 3230, A. 5086.

“4, Supplemental Pension and
Representation For Retirees —
SB 9508, A. 10633.

“5. Waterfront Commission
Employees — 8. 9507, A. 11070."

Lifesaving Guard
Shuns Hero Role

(From Leader Correspondent)
MINEOLA — A young Nassau County employee has
modestly ducked the hero’s role after saving a drowning

11-year-old boy,

Bradley Balkam, a security officer for the Nassau Rec-

reation and Parks Department,
also turned down an offered re-
ward from the grateful parents
of the lad,

“It’s just part of the job," Mr.
Balkam told them.

Nevertheless, Mr. Balkam’'s
good deed put him in the spot-
light of publicity as County Ex-
ecutive Ralph G. Caso presented
him with an official citation for
exceptional duty

And he was praised and
thanked by Irving Flaumen-
baum, president of the Nassau
chapter of the Civil Service Em-
ployees Assn.

“What you have done is a
credit not only to yourself, but

reflects credit on your fellow
civil servants. Your actions re-
flect the highest standards of

public service, and in an age
when public servants are often
subjected to unjustified criticism
will help to foster a sounder at-
titude toward civil servants. For
that.

your fellow employees
thank you.”
Mr. Balkam rescued a tired

and hungry runaway who was
trapped by tidal currents as he
attempted to make a shortcut
to home by crossing Hook Creek
off the North Woodmere County
Park

Tt was a stroke of luck

Mr. Balkam, on security pat-
rol duty, decided to make his
rounds early because he found
the time available. Hearing cries
from the creck, he shucked his
shoes and jacket and plunged in
He had no difficulty pulling the
boy to shore because he had
taken two semesters of lifesay-
ing while at Post College, before
taking the county job 18 months
ago.

The boy identified himself as
Mark Decker of North Wood-
mere and said he had run away

Niagara Meeting

(Continued from Page 1)

Mr. Powers, and CSEA field-
men Thomas Christy and James
Stewart, and chapter officers,
@greed to meet after the meet-
ing with individuals or groups
for further consultation.

‘The meeting closed with a
promise of full support for the
chapter from the caseworkers
and clerical employees,

from home a few hours earlier.
After wandering around the
park, he grew cold and hungry
and decided to try to wade across
the creek as a shorteut to home.

Mr. Balkam quickly got ‘the
lad dry, warm — and back to
his grateful parents.

Suffolk May Ask
For 2 Contracts

SMITHTOWN — The Suf-
folk chapter of the Civil Ser-
vice Employees Assn, may
seek separate contracts for
white- and blue-collar members
in upcoming negotiations with
the county, it was announced by
chapter president E. Ben Porter.

‘The pian ts based on the fact
that the county has established
Separate bargaining units for
white- and blue-collar employees
although CSEA represents both.
The idea came up in initial
meotings of the chapter planning
committee, which is preparing
a detalled study of the contract
needs of all county employees.
‘The committee, with representa-
tives from all areas, was called
into action early by Porter in
order to assure thorough prep-
aration for negotiations in 1976.

reopen their two-year contract
to negotiate the mileage allow-
ance unless a cost-of-living In-
crease is negotiated also.

The CSEA stand is that the 5-
cent mileage allowance increase
would benefit only 29 of more
than 200 employee members, A
cost-of-living allowance was
made the first priority because
basic salaries have become way
out of line and have not been
updated through a new salary
schedule as promised for 1974

It was pointed out that the
public health nurses, and less
than a dozen are involved, gave
up a $50 car allowance and can-
not renegotiate the 15-cent mile-
age figure in their next contract.

Clark Bids County Buy Cars

(Continued from Page 1)
Executive Regan's rejection of a
mileage allowance reopener, sug-
gested that the County Execu-
tive provide money for the cars
in his next budget if employees
do not get fair reimbursement
for mileage

“Requirements that employees
have drivers’ licenses are not
requirements to provide the ve-
hicles,” Mr. Clark sald.

He added: “We don’t intend
to have our employees subsidize
the county both in providing the
vehicles and in inadequate re-
imbursements for mileage. It's
the County Executive's job to
provide the services and money
to pay for them, not our respon-
sibility.”

Mr. Clark has appealed to the
County Legislature to overrule
Regan's rejection of a fact-
finder’s report that suggests in-
creasing the mileage allowance
from 12 cents to 14 cents along
with an escalator clause that
prescribes a ‘:-cent increase for
every S-cent hike in the cost of
Gasoline

‘The report also makes the
changes retroactive to Jan. 1

County Executive Regan re-
jected the report and recom-
mended the Legislature simply
up allowances from 14 to 16

cents a mile, effective April 1
He refused to deal with retro-
activity or the escalator clause

“We're not entirely satisfied
with the report, elther,”"| Mr
Clark said

“Tt doesn't take into account
increased maintenance costs and
ignores the fact that, in many
cases, the employee must pur-
chase the car primarily for use
on county business.”

Mr, Clark, emphasizing that
no law requires employees to
own cars, stopped short of urg-
ing county employees to refuse
to use their private vehicles for
county purposes.

“How can you recommend to
@ nurse not to see a bed-ridden
patient or a probation officer a
troubled youth,” he said, adding
“On the other hand, why should
employees take from thelr own
families in order to provide ser-
vices which are the county's
responsibility

there are realizing that that un-

tentially harmful effect of inter-

he noted, “They also found out
SEIU fails to heep even the
simplest of promises, such as
pledging to open a campaign of-
fice and then not doing so.”

Mr. Dolan said Sullivan Coun-
ty employees, who have been the
target for an all-out propaganda
campaign by both unions for
weeks, are “sick and tired of the
barrage of heavy-handed mate-
rial they are being subjected to
the interference by the two un-
tons of their contract negotia-
tions with the County, and the
squabbling between the two un-
ions as to who should challenge
CSBA.”

Forms Available

We are advising employees in
all three counties who had earli-
er signed a designation card and
now wish to revoke that support
to immediately contact either
their local CSBA chapter presi-
dent or any CSEA field repre-
sentative. Employees can with-
draw thelr support by signing a
form declaring they are revoking
their earlier designation and
authorization of another union.
The form voids any previously
signed cards, Mr. Dolan said.
