MARCHING IN eg

Members of the Nassau County chapter, Civil Service Employees Assn., hit the bricks recently in pro-
tests over stalled contract talks and what members feel is an inadequate wage hike offer by the county.
Irving Flaumenbaum, president of the chapter and a CSEA vice-president, has claimed that Nassau is
using the state Taylor Law “to abuse the employees” and said that if the situation is not remedied,

he is prepared to lead his local in a strike and go to jail,

if necessary, for that action. Above, center,

Nicholas Abbatlello, chapter second vice-president and also second vice-president of the CSEA Long
Island Region I, joins the demonstration.

Suffolk Chapter Gives
Overwhelming Pact OK

HAUPPAUGE—Members of the Suffolk County chapter, Civil Service Employees Assn.,
last week overwhelmingly approved a proposed contract settlement that would preserve
the increment system and prevent layoffs.

The results of a membership vote led to approval by the county legislature of a pro-

posed two-year package worth
$13.3 million.

County Executive John V. N.
Klein announced he would veto
the plan but a vote by the legis-
lature to override the veto was
expected.

James Corbin, president of the
Suffolk chapter, termed the leg-
islature’s plan a wage freeze be-
cause it provided no new money
for the current year and post-

Mr. Corbin had refused to en-
dorse the plan or recommend ap-
proval by members in a mail bal-
lot conducted by the chapter
because of its shortcomings.
However, he had made known
that the legislators had vowed
to impose a one-year freeze with
neither pay increase or incre-

ments if the membership refused
the offer.

The plan provides that em-
ployees who should have received
an inerement this year receivé

and the balance by mid-1977,

crement would be advanced two

March to $100,000.

The Appelate Division, Sec-
ond Department, held that “Un-
der the totality of the circum-
stances, the fine was exces-
sive

The ruling also reduced pro-
portionately the amount of in-
stallment payments of the fine
by the CSEA.

The original fine was handed
down last June 8. At that time,
CSEA president Theodore C.
Wenzl condemned it as “Grossly
excessive and a glaring exam-
ple of the basic deficiency of
the Taylor Law.”

Dr. Wenzl said that the
CSEA, in supporting the 14-day
strike by its Orange County
members, “acted in the best tra-
dition of unionism." The Orange
County Supreme Court also
levied a $2,000 fine on the coun-
ty CSEA chapter.

‘The strike was called following
months of fruitless negotiations
for a CSEA-county contract. The
talks were started under pro-
visions of a contract reopener
clause on salary for the final
two years of a three-year con-
tract for the 1,700 county em-
ployees.

‘The fine was imposed by the
Orange County Supreme Court
under provisions of the Taylor
Law which governs relations be-
tween public sector employee
unions and their employers.

The strike was precipitated by
the action of the Orange Coun-
ty Legislature to freeze wages
and reduce increments, Incre-
ments were later restored, how-

CIVIL SERVICE LEAD!

Win Nassau Chapter Suit
On Behalf Of Mechanics

MINEOLA—The Appellate Division has upheld the Nas-
sau County chapter of the Civil Service Employees Assn.
in fighting a unilateral county attempt to force civilian
mechanics of the Police Department to furnish their own

tools.

‘The court last week overruled
an earlier adverse ruling by the
state Public Employment Rela-
tions Board and directed Nassau
County to negotiate with the
employee organization on the
issue,

According to Irving Flaumen-
baum, president of the chapter,
the CSEA had put up a long and
stubborn fight on the case be-
cause both principle and a finan-
cial burden to employees were
involved.

‘The automobile mechanics, ac-
cording to earlier testimony,
work with tools valued at from

$900 to $1,500; annual replace-
ment costs run to $150 to $200
per year.

Nassau County had sought to
unilaterally impose a new rule
requiring mechanics to furnish
their own tools.

The PERB had reasoned that
the ownership of tools was a
qualification of a mechanic and
upheld the county's move. How-
ever, in ruling the CSEA right,
the court said that the ques-
tion was “definitely a term and
condition of employment” and
therefore must be a subject of
negotiations.

GENEVA WILDCAT

A one-day wildcat strike by members of the non-teaching employees unit of the Civil Service Em-
ployees Assn. at the Geneva School District in Ontario County recently ended when employee demands
were met by the school board. The job action came after eight months of fruitless contract negotiations
and talks had been at impasse for several months. The Geneva School District unit has 100 percent
CSEA membership and credit for the success of the job action, including an agreement of amnesty for
the participants, was attributed to the solid front displayed by the members. Above, district employees
picket in front of the Geneva Board of Education's administrative offices on Exchange Street.

Pact Imposed On Tompkins
Has A Variety Of Fringes

ITHACA—The legislatively imposed contract between
the Tompkins County chapter, Civil Service Employees Assn.,
and the county provided, in part, that those employees
earning below the maximum for their salary grade be given

a one-step increase.

According to the Public Em-
ployment Relations Board, the
salary range, dollar increase and
percentage increase amounts
were: Up to $8,500, $335, 3-7
percent; $8,601-11,000, $320, 2.9-
3.8 percent; $11,001-15,000, $300,
2-2.7 percent, and $15,001-57,500.
$225, 0.5-1.7 percent.

The percentages, the PERB
notes, are based on actual sal-
aries and not on the rounded
salary ranges given above.

In fringe benefits, the chapter
was granted compensatory time-
off for members of the on-call
child protective unit. Employees
of that Social Services Depart-
ment will now receive one hour
for weekday overtime, two hours
for weekend work and three and
one-half hours for holiday work
The maximum accumulation of
compensatory time was increased
from four to five days.

Court Halves Orange Strike Fine

(Continued from Page 1)

Negotiations had reached im-
passe and had gone to fact-
finding. The fact-finder had rec-
ommended a 4 percent salary in-
crease. County executive Louis
Mills rejected any pay raise; the
legislature went even further in
its vote to reduce increments.

Orange County and other
CSEAers braved freezing tem-
peratures in mounting their pick-
eting lines at various points
around the county. Among the
marchers were CSEA executive
vice-president William McGowan,
vice-presidents Irving Flaumen-
baum, James Lennon and Robert
Lattimer, treasurer Jack Galla-

gher and county division chair-
man Salvatore Mogavero.

Chapters providing volunteer
marchers included Suffolk, Suf-
folk Educational, Westchester
Rockland, Dutchess, Ulster, Rens-
selaer, Essex, Oswego, Cattarau-
gus, Erie Educational, Oneida,
Buffalo Psychiatric, South Beach.
General Services, Tax and Fi-
nance, SUNY at Stony Brook
and many others.

At the time the $200,000 fine
was handed down by the Orange
court, Dr. Wenzl observed
“These employees had a just
cause, Even the Taylor Law rec-
ognizes the possibility of unjust

ployers in its provision on ‘ex-
treme provocation.’

“Though the Taylor Law calls
strikes illegal, this provision does
agree that the punishment should
fit the crime in cases where an
employer's unreasonable attitude
has provoked a job action,

“This ls exactly what happen-
ed to our members in Orange
County.”

CSEA attorney Barton W
Bloom had pointed out that the
$200,000 fine was inconsistent
with those meted out to other
unions in recent years. Mr. Bloom
specifically noted the fines given
the New York City Sanitation
Department union, the United

Federation of Teachers and the
Schenectady City School District
teachers’ union

These three unions, among
others, had struck illegally but
the fines imposed on them were
appreciably lower than that given
the CSEA, he pointed out.

fringes were also improved for
the employees.

Spa Schooler
Contract Has
10.5% Boost

SARATOGA SPRINGS —
The Civil Service Employees
Assn. and the Saratoga
Springs Board of Education
have ratified a two-year contract
retroactive to July. It holds a
total 10.5 percent salary boost

Under the new pact, a wage
increase of 4.5 percent will take
effect the first year of the con-
tract and a boost of 6 percent
will come in the second, plus a
dental benefit provision.

The agreement also calls for
tenure after six months for part-
time aides, bus drivers and oafe-
teria workers, Previously, tenure
was given only to full-time com-
petitive class workers. Also in-
cluded is a provision giving fewer
total sick days to employees but
increasing the number of such
days that can be accumulated
from year to year,

A fact-finder's report last Sep-
tember bid recommended a one-
year 5.5 percent increase but
made no recommendations be-
yond that one-year period.

New Pension Plan Snarl

ALBANY —State Attorney
General Louis Lefkowitz has
found another problem with
the new State Pension Law
which he says requires former
employees re-entering state or
city civil service to join the new
retirement system.

The new system, created by
the last session of the state leg-
islature, provides generally low-
er benefits to civil servants than
the old systems.

In a letter written to Comptrol-
Jer Arthur Levitt, Mr. Lefkowitz
says the new retirement pro-
visions apparently abrogates pro-
visions of the old retirement laws
and the Civil Service Law. He
adds that the legislators may not
have realized they were doing so,

Mr. Lefkowitz writes that “it
would appear” that the new law
“makes membership in the re-
tirement system mandatory for
retirees who return to public em-
ployment after July 1, 1976.

“However, the abrogation of
sections of the statute would be
@ serious action for the Legis-
lature to have taken without
express provision to that effect."

‘The complex retirement law
was enacted hurriedly in the
last days of the session with a
great deal of political pressure in

the air.

Gov. Hugh L. Carey has asked
a task force to examine the ad-
ministrative implications of the
legislation and suggest remedial
legislation if necessary.

A Public Sector
NYC Job Skid

MANHATTAN—There were
18,000 fewer government jobs
in New York City on Aug.
1 than there were on July 1
this year, a survey by the U.S.
Labor Department indicates.

In the rest of the New York
metropolitan area, there was an
additional drop of 2,000, but in
the northern New Jersey part of
the metropolitan area the num-
ber of government jobs were up
by 1,000.

‘The overall drop in govern-
ment jobs between August 1975
and 1976 was 60,000, compared
with a rise of 55,000 in the pre-
ceding year. New York City lost
69,000 jobs, 63,000 of them in
city government and 6,000 in
state and federal agencies. How-
ever, in northeastern New Jer-
sey there was a 10,000 increase in
the number of government jobs
At the end of August, there was
still a total of 556,300 govern-
ment Jobs in the New York met-
ropolitan area including north-
eastern New Jersey,

The period was the most re-
cently tabulated by the depart-
ment.

HANNA LOSES TAYLOR SUIT

Utica Mayor Edward Hanna's federal court suit challenging
Taylor Law provisions on binding arbitration for police and fire-
fighters in labor disputes has been dismissed. The ruling, by Federal
Judge Edmond Port, of Auburn, seems to effectively block future
federal challenges, including a potential one by the City of Albany,
now involved in two contested arbitration awards. Judge Port held
that there was no federal question involved in the state labor law
which governs relations between public sector employee unions and
the municipal employers. The Hanna suit contended that since
binding arbitration applies only to police and firefighters, the rights
of other employees were being infringed. City attorneys also argued
that the arbitration awards to these groups would involve tax in-
creases created by non-elected officials, a violation of the con-
stitutional rights of the voters. The controversial mayor, who has
in the past conducted running battles with the city unions, business
community and Utica’s two newspapers, among others, said he will
not appeal the dismissal. “We never dreamed that a judge would
Prevent us from having our day in court,” Mayor Hanna mourned.
“Bometimes it is not just a case of fighting the unions, you have
to also fight the courts.”

BAD DRIVING FIRING

The State Appellate Court has ruled that the Department of
Mental Hygiene acted properly in firing a probationary motor
vehicle operator following two highway accidents and a physical
examination failure. In the unanimous ruling, the court held that
the DMH did not act in bad faith when it fired Alfred De Salvo, of
Gansevoort, from his $7,000-a-year post as a driver at the Wilton
Developmental Center. Mr. De Salvo was given a temporary ap-
pointment in November 1974 and offered a permanent position in
February 1975 subject to passing a probationary period. At the end
of that month, he was reassigned to the Wilton grounds crew and
was fired last March when the probationary period ended. In
a suit brought against DMH Commissioner Lawrence Kolb, Mr. De
Salvo argued that he could not be fired unless he was allowed to
perform duties of a driver for the full probationary period. The
court ruled that "Employment of a probationary appointee can be
terminated without specific reasons being given, without charges
filed and without a hearing.” During his period as a DMH driver,
Mr. De Salvo was involved in two vehicular mishaps. The court
also held that the Department "Cannot be compelled to subject
members of its staff to the hazards of (Mr. De Salvo's) driving for
the entire probationary period after satisfying itself in good faith
that (he) was not qualified for the position.”

The Orange Fine

Tr say we have mixed feelings about the appellate court
decision last week cutting the $200,000 fine imposed on
the Civil Service Employees Assn. for the 14-day Orange
County employees strike last March to $100,000 is a howling
understatement.

On one hand, the $100,000 penalty is less than the
original $200,000 jolt administered by the Orange County
Supreme Court, and, of course, in this case, less is better.

But the $100,000 fine seems to us to be terribly out of
line. Court-awarded amounts of such punitive sizes are
nothing less than virtual licenses to public employers to in-
timidate public employee unions.

Fines of this size carry a message: Knuckle under or you
will be sorrier than you ever knew you could be.

Some background: Orange County employees staged
their strike, in defiance of the Taylor Law which forbids
strikes, after county legislators voted a wage freeze and a
reduction of increments, The Orange CSEA chapter nego-
tiating team had endured months of fruitless contract talks.
The strike was precipitated when the Orange legislature
voted to reduce increment payments to the county’s 1,700
employees. Since contract negotiations prior to the strike
covered only salary issues—as provided under a contract re-
Opener clause—and increments were set when the contract
was first signed, they were regarded as firm during the life
of the pact.

As an offside, we wonder if legislators read the contracts
they sign. On the evidence, at Orange County, at any rate,
they don’t.

When the $200,000 fine, now overturned, was imposed,
CSEA attorney Barton W. Bloom cogently noted that it was
inconsistent with those meted out to other public sector
unions in recent years.

When sanitation workers struck in New York City, he
pointed out, their union was fined $80,000. When the 40,000-
member United Federation of Teachers shut down the New
York City schools for 17 days, its fine was $150,000. Another
teachers’ organization, representing employees of the Sche-
nectady City School District, struck and was fined $20,000
for their 14-day strike, the same amount of time as the
Orange County employee strike.

Commented Mr, Bloom: “The CSEA strike was not un-
dertaken out of feelings of malice, The Orange County em-
ployees had been provoked so long, and to such an extent,
by the county legislature that their action was one of frus-
tration, In such a situation, you just can’t order people to
discount their emotions.”

So true.

And we can only repeat: Fines this large are virtual
licenses for public employers to intimidate public nee
unions — and public employees. C.0'N

elect Jimmy Carter prepares to
assume the responsibilities of his
office, is a difficult one not only
for Carter, but also for the public
generally,

Until Jan. 20, Inauguration
Day, the Federal government will
remain in a state of suspended
animation. At his press confer-
ence last week, Carter asserted
quite firmly that he intended to
do nothing that might in any
way interfere with the remain-
ing weeks of the Ford presidency.
By the same token, it is difficult
for President Ford to think in
long-range terms, knowing that
his days at the White House are
numbered.

Interim Problems

‘The Carter attitude was ex-
pliined by him in answer to a
question whether he proposed
any action in the face of a pros-
pect that the Organization of
Petroleum Exporting Countries
planned to increase oi) prices
some time during Decem-
ber. Carter said that this was a
problem that must be handled
by President Ford, Obviousiy,
Ford is in no position to handle
it either, so that means that we
will remain adrift in the face of
any action that may be taken
by the nations in the oll produc-
ing cartel.

A similar situation developed
in New York City during the last
days of Mayor Wagner's admin-
istration before Mayor Lindsay
took his oath of office. Neither
Wagner nor Lindsay wanted any
part of a threatened strike by
the Transport Workers Union.
With neither the Mayor nor the
Mayor-elect willing to act, a
transit strike tied up the city.

In a similar way, it is not
likely that any action will be
taken to deal with the economy
during this period. The stock
market is jittery and millions
of dollars of value are going
down the drain. Unemployment
is slowly increasing. Prices con-
tinue to rise. Economic stagna-
Mon is likely to be the order of
the day until Carter moves into
the White House and sets into
motion some program designed
to put an end to our sluggish
economy.

Somewhere in the midst of this
temporary no-man's land the
fiscal problems of the City are
‘also drifting along. The budget
that the City must prepare for
the fiscal year, beginning on July
1, 1977, is the last one that has
to be prepared under the three-
yoar fiseal plan. According to the
plan, this must be a balanced
budget. In the absence of mas-
sive federal aid, or some state
aid, which is largely speculative
in view of the state's fiscal pic-
ture, the City will have to cut
its budget by about $500 million.
There is no way that this can be
done without massive layoffs and
without cutting services to intol-
erably low levels.

Federal Funds?

Both Senator William Prox-
mire und Rep, Henry Reuss, who
are the chairmen respectively of
the critical Senate and House
Banking Committees, have ex-
pressed the view that it would
be extremely difficult to get
through Congress legislation ex-
tending for an additional period

der which the Treasury Depart-
ment makes seasonal loans avail
able to the City. These loans are
designed to tide the City over

Discipline Cases

A civil service employee was brought up on written
charges for violating a work rule requiring “punching out”
on a time clock at the close of a shift. All of the necessary
proceedings were held pursuant to Section 75 of the Civil
Service Law. In his decision, the hearing officer found that
the violation of the work rule in question did not amount
to incompetence or misconduct. Despite this finding, how-
ever, the hearing officer recommended a penalty of the loss
of two hours’ pay. He explained his decision on the ground
that a hearing under Section 75 was not required in this
case. The hearing should have been treated as though it
never took place. The administrative director, relying on
the recommendations of the hearing officer, imposed a loss
of two hours’ pay.

THE EMPLOYEE commenced a proceeding in Onondaga
County Supreme Court and argued that the actions of his
employer were improper because Section 75 provides that
no disciplinary penalty provided in that section may be im-
posed except for Incompetency or misconduct shown after
a hearing on stated charges. In its decision in favor of the
employee, the court pointed out that a deduction of two
hours’ pay was a disciplinary penalty within the meaning
of Section 75. It was a fine, and as such could not be im-
posed without a finding of incompetency or misconduct.
Matter of Sette v. McCambridge, 84 Misc, 2d 591,

A NEW YORK CITY police officer was found guilty,
after a departmental trial, of violating certain rules and
procedures of the New York City Police Department. The
Police Commissioner directed that the punishment would
be a fine of 90 days’ pay and that the officer be relieved of
duty for that period of time. The Appellate Division re-
viewed the case on an Article 78 petition pursuant to the
CPLR. That court sustained the finding of guilt, but modi-
fied the penalty to a fine of 30 days’ pay with relief of
duty for that period. The Administrative Code of New York
City provides that “the Commissioner shall have power .
to punish the offending party by reprimand, forfeiting and
withholding pay for a specified time, suspension, without
pay during such suspension, or by dismissal from the force,

but no more than thirty days’ salary shall be forfeited or
deducted for any offense,’

THE POLICE COMMISSIONER argued that this was in
fact a 90-day suspension without pay, which was legal under
prior court decisions, The Court of Appeals did not agree.
The language of “suspension without pay” was readily avail-
able to the Police Commissioner, However, he chose to em-
ploy the words of a fine of 90 days’ pay and coupled it with
a relief trom duty. The court was able to distinguish the
two, stating that a fine tied in to a relief from duty Is not
the same as a suspension without pay. Forfeiture or with-
holding of pay implies that the police officer continues to

The Federal Civil Service has
its own retirement system, which,
unlike most private pension
plins in the country, entirely
replaces Social Security benefits.
‘This is of particular concern be-
cause the spouses of federal civil
servants are deprived of even
those minimal protections af-
forded them under the Social
Security system.

‘The provision for survivor
benefits under the federal civil
service retirement plan is differ-
ent from both Social Security
and most private pension plans.

Unlike Social Security, sur-
vivor benefits ure not automatic
and assured. Like the law gov-
erning private plans, the federal
civil service retirement plan
specifies that survivor benefits
are automatic unless the worker-
spouse specifically requests the
contrary in writing.

While the requirement for af-
firmative action to “opt out” of
a plan providing for survivor
benefits rather than to elect sur-
vivor benefits is more protective
of the wife, the fact remains the
only action required is that of
the worker-spouse. A possible in-
centive to “opt out” of the joint
and survivor annuity is provided
by the couple's increased bene-
fits during the lifetime of the
spouses.

CSEA CONVENTION

REPORTS, PHOTOS

”

ée

Located in one of the lobby areas of the Concord Hotel were various tables manned
by headquarters staff members. Each of the tables carried a sign identifying the var-
fous departments and special services provided by CSEA, In the photo can be seen
the general activity that kept the representatives on their toes as they tried to break
through the red-tape for various delegates seeking information,

Statewide Grievance Committee

The following is the Statewide Griev-
ance Committee report submitted at
the CSEA annual convention last month,
Chairman is Albert Varacchi, of SUNY
at Stony Brook chapter, and committee
members are Abraham Libow, Peter
SeJan, George Fassell, Kaye Yuschak,
James Gamble, Marie Romanelli, Phil-
lip Caruso and Gerald Seeley,

The Statewide Grievance Committee,
after several meetings, wishes to report
at this time that some of the Com-
mittee recommendations have been pur-
sued and are in the process of being
implemented.

1. Ms. Celeste Rosenkranz, Chairper-
son of the Education Department, has
submitted for our consideration a for-
mat for “Shop Stewards’ Manual.”

The Grievance Committee after care-
fully reviewing its context made cer-
tain recommendations and corrections
to matters pertaining to grievances.

The Committee strongly felt that

during debate on union fiscal policy.
Several mikes were placed throughout
mecting area to allow equal access to
all delegates.

with these proposed changes, a Manual
available to encompass Shop Stewards
Procedures and Grievances should be
distributed.

2. The Committee reaffirms its past
position that a thorough evaluation of
the Grievance procedure be explored
and above all to modify or clarify the
existing language contained therein,
thereby making it easier for all em-
ployees to understand fully and without
any reservations their rights when in-
stituting a grievance.

3. The Statewide Grievance Commit-
tee, after due deliberation and research
would request that the Resolution Com-
mittee refer to the various negotiating
teams the following

a. A model Grievance Procedure
to be instituted which would include
and cover all employees in the fol-
lowing: namely, schoo) districts, town
and/or municipalities, political sub-
divisions, county and state employees.

NOTE: The State Grievance Com-
mittee would undertake the task of
preparing a Model Grievance Proced-
ure in conjunction with input re-
ceived from the various segments
and also with representatives of vari-
ous negotaiting teams.

CSEA directors Ronnie Smith, left, and Pat Fraser (Mental Hygiene, Region II) listen
to views of New York City chapter 010 first vice-president Martha Owens. Mr. Smith
is also president ef Willowbrook Developmental Center chapter 429, and Mr. Fraser
is the same chapter's grievance chairman.

Always one of the most intense meetings on CSEA conventions is that of Mental
Hygiene departmental delegates. Here CSEA executive vice-president and Mental Hy-
giene Council president William McGowan, center, confers with collective bargaining
specialist Robert Guild as CSEA director Nicholas Puzziferri (Mental Hygiene, Region
III) speaks to delegates. Listening right is Operational Unit negotiator James Gripper.

Report

b. That all forms used in process-
ing grievances be uniform.

4. The Committee recommends that
the existing Grievance Procedure be
streamlined to three (3) steps; namely,

1st Step—Immediate Supervisor

2nd Step—Agency head or designee

3rd Step—Grievance Appeal Board

Arbitration

5. That the Contract Grievance with
Arbitration Procedure, and the Non
Contract Grievance procedures be de-
fined individually in'the contract Agree-
ment.

6. That the arbitration step should
be extended from ten (10) days to
thirty (30) days to submit a contract
erievance or arbitration.

7. Contract and Disciplinary Arbitra-
tion hearings should be conducted on
consecutive days.

8. The Committee urgently recom-
mends that all Grievance hearings be
held at the submitted work local

9. If the employer does not adhere
to the Grievance Procedure or the time
Umit specified then the decision shall
be in favor of the grievant.

10. The present agreement pertain-
ing to Grievance Procedures to remain
in effect until completion of all nego-

tiations and until a contract is signed.

11. A Grievance should be considered
timely within the thirty (30) day period
based on the knowledge of the grievant.

12. A continuous violation of the
grievance submitted by the grievant
should be considered timely e

13. Contract and Disciplinary Griey-
ances presented to arbitration should
be held within thirty (30) days of
presentation.

Non Contract Grievances

1. Non Contract Grievances presented
to the Grievance Appeal Board should
be held within thirty (30) days of
presentation

2. The decision from the Grievance
Appeal Board shall be submitted within
thirty (30) days e

3. The hearing officer from the
Grievance Appeal Board should be an
impartial person.

Disciplinary Procedures

Article 33—Resignation and Discipline
as defined in the four units; namely,
Operational, Institutional, Administra-
tive, and Professional Scientific and
Technical should be discontinued in
favor of Article 75 Civil Service Law.

The Statewide Grievance Committee
is fully cognizant of the fact that
some of the forementioned items fall
within the realm of negotiations be-
tween the Union and the employer, and
it therefore issues this report with the
intent that possibly in forthcoming ne-
gotiations, the various units of the
State segment might take into consid-
eration these requests.

With reference to the various poli-
tical subdivisions, town municipalities
and school districts, the Committee re-
quests that due consideration be giveng
to the implementation of the recom-
mendations of the Committee during
their negotiations.

REPORTS,

Report Of The Treasurer

The following is the Treasurer's Re-
port submitted by Jack Gallagher at the
annual CSEA convention last month.
Included in this report is the state-
ment of Income and expenses reproduced
in the box below.

(Attached) to this Report is the Gen-
eral Fund Statement of Income and
Expenses for the Month Ended July
31, 1976. The Association had a deficit
in operations of $60,666 for the month
of July and a Year-to-Date deficit of
$1,046,513.

‘We had anticipated a surplus for the
month of July as a result of the April
1 dues increase. However, due to de-
clining membership resulting in de-
creased revenues and soaring expenses
such as legal, CSEA will be fortunate
to end the fiscal period with no more
than a $900,000 deficit.

As you read this document, I antici-
pate thoughts running through your
minds as to the fact that we still are
running deficits even though CSEA had
a dues increase of 50 cents a pay period,

commencing April 1, 1976. However, you
may recall that in my Treasurer's Re-
Port to the Delegates at the March,
1976 Convention, I requested a mini-
mum dues increase of $1.00 per pay
Period on a bi-weekly basis. The fol-
lowing illustrates what has transpired
since the March Meeting and why the
50 cents dues increase was totally in-
adequate:

Projected Surplus (Based
on @ $1.00 dues increase

April 1, 1976) $1,096,000

Less: One-Half dues

Increase Not Granted (Net) 1,053,000
$ 43,000

Unanticipated Additional

Expenditures (850,000)

Decrease in Investment

Income (100,000)

Estimated Deficit, 9-30-76 (907,000)

To alleviate the deficit picture for
Fiscal Year 1977, CSEA is attempting to
increase membership with the “Sign Up
‘76" Campaign to pay members $5.00
for each recruit

GH! Decentralization Begins

SYRACUSE—Group Health,
Inc., which provides a num-
ber of state employees with
health, dental and vision in-
surance coverage, is decentraliz-
ing its offices.

GHI president George W. Mel-
cher Jr. said that the decentral-
ization of the organization's
claims offices was necessary to
speed the processing of claims by
the members,

Decentralization began in
October with the shifting of the
Syracuse claims office from the
State Tower Bullding to a more
accessible location at 333 E.
Water St., across from the State
Office Building. Sales and claims
processing staffers there service
the 26-county Central New York
area. Plans call for the opening
of other offices in Albany, Buf-
falo and on Long Island.

GHI In Syracuse has also
opened a new vision center ad-
jacent to its claims office. This
center services state employees

with eye examinations and eye-
glasses.

State employees, all of whom
are covered by GHI's dental in-
surance plan, will be entitled to
@ courtesy discount at the new
vision facility, as will employees
covered by GHI's medical insur-
ance.

Arthur Rosecrans of the Syra-
cuse office pointed out that prior
to October, all claims were sent
to GHI's New York City head-
quarters for processing. With the
installation of computer term-
inals in se, he estimated
that claims will be approved and
checks received by subscribers
within a one-month period.

“This will go a long way to-
ward streamlining our payment
system,” Mr, Rosecrans sald,
“taking some of the burden off
our New York City units and
giving local subscribers fast ser-
vice.”

Subscribers seeking claims in-
formation may visit the new GHI

* Smile Maintenance Kit

How do you keep a healthy smile? Good daily dental hygiene, a
healthy diet, regular check-ups and a good dental plan so you don't
have to worry about dental bills that you can't handle.

It's common sense, really. But all too many people put off regular
check-ups because of the expense. That's where we come in.

As we say, “We've got great plans for you.” Our Dental Care Plan
is only one of them

After all, the Blues invented pre-paid health care and doesn't it
seem logical that we can deliver the best dental care promptly
and efficiently.

Suffolk Gives Contract An OK

(Continued from Page 1)

Employees at the top of the
increment scale would receive
$1,000 immediately and $250 by
Feb. 15, and in September of
next year the entire $1,250 ad-
justment would be made perm-
anent

Tt also provides an increase of
$25 per member in the county's
contribution to the welfare fund,
to provide a fully-paid dental
plan, @ list of benefits for peace
officers and protection for school
crossing guards who had been
threatened with termination of
the service.

‘The vote of members in coun-

ty service was 2,306-638 in fav-
or in the white-collar unit and
859-128 in the blue-collar unit.

Mr. Klein had unilaterally can-
celled increments at the start of
the y injecting that issue
into negotiations. In the end, a
fact-finder recommended 5 per-
cent for blue-collar employees
and 5'4 percent for white-col-
lar employees without any in-
crements, Mr. Klein approved,
but the CSEA refused to sacrifice
the increment system.

‘The CSEA was forced to deal
with the legislature, which claim-

. BUY, U5, BONDS

ed that the county had already
spent what money had been set
aside for a wage settlement. The
legislators demanded a two-year
dea! in order to provide for late
payment of the increments.

The situation threatened to
ead to court action.

Mr, Klein indicated that he
would follow the proposal to pay
half the increment in 1976, but
argued that the legislature had
no authority to direct him to
make any settlement regarding
1977. The CSEA might have to
80 to court to force Mr, Klein to
lve up to the terms, some ob-
servers predicted

CIVIL SERVICE LEADER, Friday, November 19, 1976

CSEA STRENGTH

IN UNITY

MEMBERSHIP DRIVE
JUNE 1-NOVEMBER 30

Never in the history of our union has it been so
vital to stick together — grow together and share the
load to keep us strong. In these tough times, the
greater the percentage of membership of any county
unit or chapter, the greater the strength at the bar-
gaining table. The greater the percentage of state
employees belonging to CSEA, the greater the
strength of the state bargaining units.

Therefore, we are offering members in good stand-
ing a cash incentive to recruit new members. There is
no limit to the number of new members you may sign
up. And while the cash incentive is nice to receive,
the most important factor is the strength you will be
helping to build for you and your fellow worker.

ONE (Member) WILL GET
YOU FIVE ($5)

For each new member you sign up between June 1
and November 30, CSEA will award you $5.00. After
you have signed up the new member he must be on
the payroll for four bi-weekly pay periods or the
equivalent thereof. Many members are planning their
Christmas shopping around this membership drive.
The Christmas Club bonuses for all members signed
up before September 15 will be paid on December
15th. The second payoff, for new members signed
between September 16 and November 30, will take
place on February 15.

CHAPTER OR UNIT PRESIDENT
HAS CONVENIENT SIGN-UP
CARDS

Ready to go? See your Chapter or Unit president
for special sign-up cards which have a place to rec-

ord all the necessary information. Send your cards in
as soon as you sign up a new member — and we'll
credit your account with $5.00 for each member
signed up.

We'll keep your account up to date and will return
to you, in writing, a receipt for each new member
you've signed up.

Only CSEA members in good standing as of June
1, 1976, may recruit new members during this drive.
New members must work in a unit of government
represented by CSEA. So we urge you CSEA mem-
bers —go to it —start signing up non-members for
cash in your pocket and security in your future.

NON-MEMBERS SHOULD
HELP SHARE THE LOAD

If you're a non-member, we ask you to think of
this: sharing the load in these tough times is im-
portant. Legally, we represent you — at the bargain-
ing table — and even in processing grievances. And
we need your support — morally and financially — to
fight the battles ahead. Our dues are most reason-
able for the services provided ....services which
benefit you in many ways.

So help us share the load by signing up with us.
CSEA — the most powerful force in New York State
working for public employees.
