CSEA Convention See Pages 8 &9

Geneva Wildcat Tames School Board GENEVA — A one-day wildcat strike by non-

teaching employees of the Geneva School District in Ontario County ended after employee demands were met.

The job action came after eight months of futile bargaining that began last March.

Since the beginning, salaries were the main issue of conflict. Talks had been at impasse for several months.

The employees, members of the Civil Service Employees Assn., had approved a state fact-finder's recommendation for a 6.5 percent pay hike. The School Board's most recent offer had been for a 4 percent increase.

The CSEA members, comprised of teacher aides, secretaries, maintenance and custodial

workers, bus drivers and cafeteria employees, gave a unanimous vote to strike.

As the wildcat began, CSEA Western Region VI president Robert Lattimer and region sec-retary Judy Burgess rushed to the strike scene from the Concord Hotel in Sullivan County, where they had been attending the statewide CSEA convention.

Ms. Burgess is a Geneva School District em-ployee and represents Ontario County employees on the CSEA Board of Directors.

They were instructed to notify the wildcatters that the strike was a violation of the Taylor Law.

Mr. Lattimer commented, however, that , "They made up their minds to do something and they did it. I've got a lot of faith in them."

Much of the credit for the strike success, which included an agreement of amnesty for partici-pants, was credited to the unity of the employees.

The CSEA Geneva School District unit has 100 percent CSEA membership among the employees. In addition, an estimated 95 percent of the em-ployees took part in the wildcat.

Also on the scene was CSEA Western Region supervisor Lee Frank, who praised the em-ployees for the success of their unified effort.

Classes in the school district remained in ses-sion despite the strike action, although many parents kept their children at home.

The strike began Wednesday morning, Oct. 13, and was settled at 3:30 Thursday morning after a marathon negotiating session.

Delegates Catch Up On Routine Business At 66tli Convention

KIAMESHA LAKE—After several conventions at which delegates had to deal with extraordinary crises—^such as contract deadlines, strike votes and challenges from outside unions, more mundane matters prevailed at the 66th annual Civil Service Employees A&sn.

Rockland Unit Spokesmen Defend Members' Demands

NEW CITY—An overflow crowd heard the Rockland County unit. Civil Service Em-ployees Assn., give its reasons for demanding a fair settlement of a year-long contract dispute. The meeting was held during a legislative hearing at the Clarkstown Town Hall last week.

meeting last week at the Con-cord Hotel here.

Yet. the key issue that emerged here may be of more importance in the long run than those emotional crises of i-ecent meetings.

That issue is finances: in par-ticular the $900,000 operating deficit that CSEA fiaces during the coming year.

A good proportion of delegates' time at the convention was spent in debating areas in which spending could be curtailed without reducing services to members.

CSEA president Theodore C. Wenzl, at one point, left the rostrum to stand in line with other delegates awaiting turns at the microphone during the debate.

Dr. Wenzl requested approval

by the delegates of a special committee to study ways of re-ducing expenditures and bo re-

About 600 CSEA members jammed the auditorium to listen to and participate in the pro-ceedings. Among those speaking for the union were field repre-sentative Larry Scanlon and re-search analyst Walter Leubner.

The sijeakers pointed out that the county has the ability to pay the 5 percent ($500 minimum) mise the workers are asking, be-cause the county has an unex-pended fund balance of $1.1 mil-lion.

"Tiiis figure is confii-med in two separate official county documents." Ma-. Scanlon said.

"But where is that money? It seems to have vanished."

The CSEA also pointed out that the county employees have suffered great economic loss in recent years due to the increas-ing co.st of living. The Bureau of Labor Statistics shows that, in fact, they have had a net loss in purchasing power of 8.9 per-cent since 1970.

Another factor the union men-tioned was that other public em-ployees within Rockland County have current contracts which include raises greater than those which the Rockland County

employees are asking. For ex-ample, the Nyack School District employees got an 8 percent raise for those making more than $10,-COO a year, and 9 percent for those making less than $10,000. Town of Claikstown workers got w'ige hikes of from 7 to 12 per-cent. depending on the cost of living. The Village of Spring Val-ley employees will receive a 15 percent raise over 2V2 years, and employees of the Pearl River Public Library System are un-der a three-year conU'act which includes a TVs percent raise in

Stein^ Attacking Beame, Demands Police Rehiring

MANHATTAN—Assemblyman Andrew Stein (D-L, Manhattan) charged last week that residents of his district "are living in fear from crime as never before. The Beame Administration has done nothing to stem this epidemic."

Mr. Stein demanded that the Mayor allocate a substantial amount of the $75 million in newly available federal funds

Welfare Funds Are Distributed

to rehire laid-off policemen. "Six weeks ago," Mr. Stein said,

"I called upon Mayor Beame to appropriate a large share of the $75 million in new federal fund-ing soon to be made available to this City from the Public Works Jobs Bill which was recently enacted.

"At that time the mayor avoid-ed the issue by saying it was premature to comment on the bill before the companion appro-priation bill wajs passed by Con-gress. This has since been ac-complished. The Mayor can no longer stall the public by duck-ing this critical question. I am renewing rr.y demand that the City appropriate a substantial amount of this money for the purpose of rehiring a major portion of our 2,800 laid-off po-lice officers."

In addition, Mr. Stein said that at the present rate of at-trition within the Police Depart-ment, New York City loses 1,500 officers annually, none of whom are being replaced.

The Assemblyman indicated that in the 13th Precinct, part of his Assembly District, which includes Stuyvesant Town and Peter Cooper Village develop-ments, major crime has increased by 29 percent during the first half of 1976 over the first half of 1975. During the correspond-ing time span, the 13th Precinct's manpower level was reduced by 25.5 percent and during the last three months, the Precinct has suffered a further 71/2 percent reduction in its personnel.

According to 13th Precinct spokesmen, Mr. Stein said, there are no longer enough men to adequately cover the Precinct area in radio patrol cars diu:lng the daily three shifts. Because of the shortage in men, these pa-trol cars do little else but re-spond to calls for assistance. Pre-ventive patrolling in the 13th Precinct is virtually a thing of the past, he noted.

"What Is occuring in the 13th

Precinct, a typical irlddle class community," Mr. Stein said, "is symptomatic of what is oc-curring in scores of communities throughout the City as New York experiences the worst year of crime in our history. Thugs are preying on the old and de-fenceless and violent incidents of crime are taking tragic dimen-sions.

"Just last month the tragic murder of an 82-year-old wo-man occurred in her own apart-ment in Peter Cooper while her sister was forced to watch help-lessly. Last week an elderly cou-ple committed suicide, finding death the only alternative to a continued existence filled with terror.

"Crime has become so ram-pant in the City that residents are afraid to leave their homes after dark. People are not only living in constant fear—some are choosing to die because of it.

"I find it unbelievable that when federal Comprehensive Em-ployment Training Act money was available last year, and used to rehire 3,497 laid-off City em-ployees, not one of those em-ployees rehired included any of

our laid-off patrolmen. This is a travesty and must not be re-peated this year.

"This is the time of decision. The crisis is upon us. It is up to the Mayor to begin to exert his leadership and attack this problem by demonstrating, in no uncertain terms, that the se-curity and safety of our citizens and communities is the first pri-ority. The Mayor must now make the commitment to apply a sub-tantial amount of this new fed-eral aid for the purpose of re-plenishing our depleted police precincts by rehiring a signifi-cant number of our laid-off police officers."

Mr. Stein said that the people of New York City desperately need added police protection and, unless the City administration adopts his proposal, the consequ-ences would imperil the very life and fiber of the City.

ALBANY—State Comptrol-ler Arthur Levitt has an-n o u n c e d distribution of $113,330,227.50 for October 1976 to the 57 counties outside New York City.

These monies represent ap-proximately 90 percent of the federal and state share of an-ticipated welfare expenditures for October and, in addition, a settlement of stute share claims for the months of April, May and June. The federal share amounts to $60,318,707.76 and the state share $53,011,519.74. The remain-

ing 10 percent of October ex-penditures is payable after veri-fication of the actual October expenditures.

The Comptroller also announ-ced the distribution of $73,175,-000 to New York City as the fedenal share of anticipated wel-fare expenditures for the first half of October. In addition, he

Clinton, Essex Workshop Fixes On Political Action

WESTPORT—More than two dozen Civil Service Employees Assn. members from the Clinton and Essex County area of Albany Region IV participated in a two-day work-shop held at the Airport Inn here sponsored by the Clinton County chapter and the re-gional education committee.

The first evening of the work-shop had presentations by How-ard Cropsey, region political ac-tion chairman, and Michael Oar-roll, research analyst, for the re-gion.

Mr. Cropsey stated. "Now is the time that you, the public em-ployee, should do the CSEA thing as far as political action goes this year, ra ther than your own thing. This year the CSEA has to prove its power, and in order to do that , the CSEA needs the support of every mem-ber.

"Remember, even if the CSEA losese on a specific campaign or candidate, the winner will not want to go up against a more experienced CSEA again.

"Rather he will realize tha t the CSEA can hur t him or help him; but we have to prove tha t point this yeiar. So for one time, foget your normal party per-suasion and go the CSEA way," Mr. Cropsey said.

Michael Carroll gave a talk on contract review. Said Mr. Car-roll: "First, don't refer to other documents or other laws in your contract. SE>ell everything out in case the law is changed or re-voked. Your contract stands on its own language.

"Second, review the contract for problem areas and concen-trate on improving these areas first. Don't hold them back for the last session. Solve the prob-lems first, then t igh ten-up the loose parts.

"Third, include layoff protec-tion clauses wherever possible. Many contracts lack adequate language concerning protections for the current economic situa-tion.

"Fourth, once the contract is in effect, begin to review to see where new problem areas are. The job is never over, but con-stant concern for contracts keeps CSEA up to date at the negotia-tions table."

New C.S. Developments The second day began with a

presentation by Richard Bur-stein, an attorney for the CSEA.

Mr. Burstein's c o m m e n t s touched on new developments in civil service law.

"The employees of Rockland County spend their money hi the same places locally as these other employees." Mr. Scanlon said. "Why should they not receive wages on a par with the others?"

Mr. Scanlon also noted tha t neighboring counties have higher

wage scales th'an Rockland County. For example, a motor vehicle cashier in Rockland re-ceives $7,015 to start , while the same job pays $9,328 to s tar t in Putnam County and $9,474 in Westchester County.

On Friday evening, an educa-tion program will be held a t 8 p.m. covering Insurance. Speak-ers will be James Corbln, chair-man of the CSEA statewide in-surance program committee and Joseph Lochner, committee ad-visor. Changes In coverage for CSEA members will be discussed. Registration will begin at 2 p.m. Friday.

The Satui'diay events will begin at 8 p.m. with a chapter and unit presidents' breakfast. From 9-10:30 a.m., committee meetings will be held. At 10:30 a.m., a state workshop will be held and fixxn 11 a.m. to 1 p.m. a county

workshop and luncheon will oc-cupy attendees.

A general meeting will come to order at 2 p.m., land the two-day event will be capped tha t evening with a banquet and dance.

Reservations may be sent di-rectly to the Sheraton Inn. Mas-sena. N.Y. 13662. Singles are $18 and doubles $22; studio accom-modations are $23 land twin rooms are $24, all plus tax.

Res-ervations may also be sent to Sally Forsythe, CSEA, Box 127, Canton. N.Y. 13617.

"When they were first formed, Mr. Burstein said, "they protec-ted the employee and his rights. But now they are often turned into tools of management.

"Often, when the CSEA asks a question, the commission will automatically say, "It 's manage-ment 's right by such land such an article." So then, instead of serving as a fair commission, see-ing both sides of a problem and deciding for the group tha t Is correct, the commission first re-fers to a rule and we end up in court."

The meeting also included a half-hour video tape by Bernard Ryan, CSEA legislative coordin-lator. commenting on the pension reform bill. Mr. ftyan appeared on the Albany Channel 16 Cable Television Show CSEA Questions and Answers.

Daniel Campbell, Albany Re-gion public relations associate, described the region's participa-tion in the video tape production.

"CSEA must use every form of communication possible to reach its miasslve membership; cable television Is a developing medium and the CSEA is In on the ground floor," commented Mr. Campbell.

Charles Luch, CSEIA non-teaching school employee chap-ter board member led an audi-ence participation discussion on leadership training.

Mr. Luch commented, "Lead-ership is the key to success on every level of the OSEA. We niust develop new leaders today to face tomoirow's challenges. Workshops such as this one are the keys to such development."

By JANE B. BERNSTEIN Many years ago, a doctor

told this rejwrter's relative that she needed immediate surgery in the form of a par-tial mastectomy. She had a a lump in her breast the doc-tor believed was malignant, and he wanted to operate that very afternoon. Fortu-nately, since the matter was so serious and urgent, this woman sought the advice of a second doctor. He discov-ered the "cancer" was a small benign cyst, the kind many women are prone to, and would require only minor surgery to remove it.

This woman was lucky. One hears or knows of many cases where individuals un-dergo voluntary surgery, only to discover too late that the operation was unnecessary.

At best, one may suffer the loss of a great deal of money as a result. At worst, there are cases where individuals emerge with mental and/or physical problems, after finding out that a breast, uterus or prostate was re-moved for no reason.

It was in the interest of quality care and reducing hospitalization costs that several union welfare funds in the New York area pro-vided an opportunity for in-dividuals to get a second opinion on elective surgery. Elective or voluntary surgery excludes emergency opera-tions, such as those resulting from trauma.

In the spring of 1972, Cor-nell University Medical Col-lege, Department of Public Health, established the Sec-ond Opinion Surgical Con-sultation Program for union members covered u n d e r Taft-Hartley.

A panel of 500 consultants was established representing the various surgical special-ties including gynecology, or-thopedics, urology, opthal-mology general surgery and otolaryngology.

When a patient is told that he or she is in need of elec-tive surgery, the individual may make an appointment to meet with one of the panel-ists.

According to Eugene Mc-Carthy, professor of public health at Cornell Medical College and one of the pro-gram's initiators, nearly one third of patients screened from 1972 were not confirm-ed for surgery, and hysterec-tomies made up the largest number of unnecessary op-erations.

In March of this year, the opinion program was made available for the first time to all state employees.

The program Is also avail-

SECOND OPINION on elective surgery ''We're surprised. that we've gotten so little response from state employees."

The O. R. . . . This could be ^ a very expensive room to en-ter in terms of money as to well as physical and mental ^ health. Doctors say a second ^ opinion on prospective elec- ON tive surgery is vital.

Dr. Eugene McCarthy stresses the second opinion program as an effective method of reducing insurance costs and increasing the quality of health care.

able to specific state agen-cies, and is funded in part by social security.

But, according to Dr. Mc-Carthy, the program has not had as wide a response from state workers as was antici-pated. Out of more than 200,-000 workers across the state, only 195 have come in for consultations since March.

As further proof of the need for a second opinion when considering surgery, more than 25 percent of these state employees who met with panelists were in-formed, after reevaluatlpa, that surgery was not the next

step in treating their condi-tions.

A research team at Cornell monitors the progress of pa-tients not confirmed for sur-gery over a period of several years. According to Dr. Mc-Carthy's studies, 84 percent of the voluntary group that was not confirmed did not undergo surgery after the screening. Some of these people had had consultations one year before, and some as many as four years before.

One of the immediate and obvious results of the pro-gram is a savings for union health insurance plans, by

eliminating hospitalization in the cases not confirmed.

In the period between Feb-ruary 1972 and January 1976, 985 cases were not confirmed for surgery. Dr. McCarthy said the savings in hospital-ization was approximately $2.25 million, while the cost of running the program was only $300,000.

More important even than the cost savings, is the qual-ity of medical care resulting from the program. The fol-lowing cases illustrate this point.

Ms. D. is a 58-year-oId nurse with the state Depart-ment of Health. In 1974 she was advised by her physician that she was in need of a hy-sterectomy. One of the pro-gram's panelists then exam-ined her and evaluated slides. He advised that surgery not take place. Ms. D., after two years of observation, still does not require surgery.

Ms. M., 60, worked for the state Department of Educa-tion. She was informed by her doct<M- that she would have to have her gallbladder removed. (Dr. McCarthy points out that at that age, the operation becomes even more serious.) After a second opinion and examination, in-cluding a QI series and X-rays, no pathology was found and surgery was not required.

There are cases where the second opinion recommends surgery. Mr. M., who Is re-tired from the Kings County Supreme Court, was schedul-ed for a hernia operation. The procedure is fairly sim-ple and routine, but he went

for consultation anyway. Upon examination, the pan-elist doctor discovered that he had a serious cancer of the prostate, which required immediate surgery. If he had not gone for consultation, the cancer might have spread and he may not have been alive today.

"We're surprised that we've gotten so little response from state employees," Dr. Mc-Carthy said. "Especially since the service is free and is so vital to health care."

All state employees are eligible for the second opin-ion—as long as the surgery is elective and not manda-tory.

Evelyne Fardelmann is the second opinion intake officer for the Employee Health In-surance Program. If consul-tation is desired, she may be called at 488-4070, or visited at Two World Trade Center, 55th floor. Ms. Fardelmann will arrange an appointment with a consultant convenient to an individiial's place of business or residence.

After the meeting with the panelist, the worker will be contacted to determine if he or she did not elect surgery if it was not confirmed.

Dr. McCarthy wrote of the program, "The impact of our current findings more than Justifies the wide adoption of the mechanism of second opinion elective surgery for appreciable improvement in the quality of care and effec-tive cost utilisation. It can significantly affect the de-livery system of care In tbis country."

FKIDAY, OCTOBER 2 2 , 1 9 7 6

Geneva Lesson As the State continues to use the Taylor Law as a way to

keep pubhc employees under thumb, the employees are becoming a bit more sophisticated in ways to survive despite the pressure.

When, a year ago, Orange County employees went on strike with the open support of the Civil Service Employees Assn., then holding its annual convention at the nearby Concord Hotel in Sullivan County, the result was financially disastrous for CSEA. The courts leveled a S200,000 fine against the parent organization, and another $2,000 against the striking CSEA chapter.

Part of the indictment against CSEA, Inc., had been the union's own constitution, which requires sanction from the CSEA Board of Directors prior to any strike action.

During the CSEA Convention just ended last week, another strike action took place—by Geneva School District non-teaching employees in Ontario County.

This time, so it was alleged, the CSEA parent organiza-tion had been kept in the dark about the planned strike action.

"They knew it would be harmful to the union," CSEA president Theodore C. Wenzl told the delegates, "so they took this action on their own.

"It is our legal duty to notify them that their action is in violation of the law, but our hearts are with them during this period," he said.

The Geneva School District wildcat strike was settled successfully for the employees after only one day on the picket lines.

The satisfactory outcome in the Geneva School District is due in large part to the fact that all the employees there are members of the union, and that nearly total partici-pation in the strike was achieved.

Thus, management—in this case, the school board— knew that the employees meant business. (M.O.B.)

Penny Wise,... A FEW WEEKS AGO, an arbitrator for the New York

City Office of Labor Relations handed down a ruling that should go a long way in achieving equitable labor relations among city employees.

The arbitrator ruled that the Fire Department could no longer force its lieutenants to perform duties that both Fire Department regulations and the union contract say should be performed only by captains.

The arbitrator found the practice so abhorrent that he also ordered the Fire Department to pay the lieutenants involved captain's pay for the periods they were acting in that capacity.

The scheme by the Fire Department—really it seems, it was City Hall—was intended primarily as a money-saving move. To get lower-paid lieutenants to do captain's work without paying them more money must have seemed like a good idea to some of the City's fiscal officers. We certainly sympathize with the City in its fiscal mess but we feel it's wrong to make its employees suffer needlessly because of it.

We hail the decision and praise the Uniformed Fire Officers' A isn. for challenging the city over the issue. (H.T.)

(Continued from Pace 1) Carter to New York last week, in a last-ditch effort to galvanize their supporters for the election, less than three weeks off.

Richard Rosenbaum, the Re-publican state chairman, while typically a person of optimistic outlook, is nonetheless a political pragmatist. In view of his record as a political leader, even Demo-crats take seriously his firm be-lief tha t President Ford has bet-ter than a fighting chance to carry New York.

Major Prize With its 41 electoral votes, sec-

ond only to California's. New York is a major prize in the na-tional election. While political registration throughout the state is heavily Democratic against the Republicans, Rosenbaum has not lost sight of the fact that Vice President Nelson Rockefeller had no difficulty overcoming this seeming obstacle in his four cam-paigns for Governor.

Obviously when it comes to campaigning. Ford has none of the drive and vitality of Rocke-feller on the campaign trail. In fact, when it comes to campaign-ing. only a handful of politicians can measure up to Rockefeller's talents.

The history of recent elections in the state clearly demonstrates that the voters are independent, pay no attention to traditional party labels, and tend to split tickets on individual decisions concerning the qualifications of contenders for each office.

Voter independence here, coup-led with persuasive evidence that support for Carter is soft in many areas of the state, are fac-tors which shape Rosenbaum's view that the state is up for grabs, and that the ultimate re-sult may be determined by or-ganized, party activity at the precinct level.

At that level, the Republican party is in somewhat better shape than the Democrats. With State Democratic chairman Pat-rick Cunningham in a state of suspension, integrated, statewide planning by the Den-.ocrats has been difficult. While the Ford operation here is hardly a model for effective campaign activity, it nonetheless stands out in con-trast with the shambles tha t is characteristic of the Carter op-eration.

Voter Turn-Offs Obviously many voters have

been turned off by such extran-eous issues as Carter 's Playboy interview and Ford's statement concerning countries circum-scribed by the Soviet orbit. Also disturbing to the voters are stories about handling of cam-paign funds by Ford during his years in Congress and revela-tions that the Carter campaign aides may have played a little fast and loose with their cam-paign expenditures.

With matters such as these dominating the media, on Elec-tion Day many voters may say a plague on both your houses and do something that they find more n-.eaningful for them at the moment than voting.

Alternatively, many voters may choose to aasert their protest by voting for former Senator Eugene McCarthy. This is a matter of deep concern among the Demo-crats, as revealed by their efforts to make sure tha t he is not on the ballot. Conversely, Rosen-baum is hopeful that the courts

An Absence Case A correction officer in the Drug Abuse Control Commis-

sion (DACC) was absent from work for a lengthy period of time prior to May 9, 1974. On that date, a letter was sent to him from the DACC director of personnel stating that his time accruals were exhausted and that he had been placed on leave without pay status. The letter further advised the correction officer that if he did not report to work by May 14, 1974, he would be placed on unauthorized leave which could ultimately result in his absence being considered a resignation under Article 15.10 of the contract between the State of New York and his union.

BY LETTER DATED May 31, 1974, the correction officer was advised in furtherance of the May 9 letter that he was deemed to have resigned, effective May 14, as a result of continued unauthorized absence in excess of 10 days. An Article 78 proceeding was commenced in September 1974 and was dismissed by Special Term, with leave to renew upon a demonstration by the employee that he exhausted all administrative remedies. In May 1975, the employee de-manded that the DACC comply with the grievance procedure set forth in the collective bargaining agreement. DACC ad-vised petitioner that the grievance was untimely, since there was a 10-day period within which the grievance had to be presented. The petitioner then returned to Special Term and asked for leave to renew. His request was denied by the court on the grounds that the petitioner had failed to file a timely grievance contesting his termination.

THE APPELLATE DIVISION, Third Department, con-sidered the matter on appeal and affirmed the lower court. It was pointed out that although Section 5.3(d) of the New York State Civil Service Rules was declared unconstitutional in the case of Johnson v. Director, Downstate Medical Cen-ter, the substantially identical provisions of the collective bargaining agreement are not unconstitutional, since the agreement provides a grievance procedure pursuant to which the employee could have obtained a hearing, at which he could have attempted to make a satisfactory explanation of his absence. However, he waived this remedy by his failure to file a timely grievance under the collective bargaining agreement, and therefore, he cannot seek relief under Article 78 of the CPLR.

* * *

THE JOHNSON CASE referred to above involved the termination of employment based on the alleged continued absence of an employee without leave and without an ex-planation for a period of ten working days. In that case, the Appellate Division, Second Department, held that Sec-lion 5.3(d) of the Civil Service Commission Rules raised a serious due process issue insofar as it resulted in the ter-mination of the employee's permanent civil service employ-ment without his being allowed a hearing on the validity of the reason for the termination. The court held that the

QUESTION Do you believe state employees should take part in political action?

THE PLACE CSEA 66th Annual Convention, Kiamesha Lake

OPINIONS John Gully, Departrr.ent of Taxation and Finance:

"I firmly believe that state em-ployees should, in every way possible, be politically active. We must back candidates who are running for certain offices a/id are sympathetic to our cause. If we do not take ac-tion, we will never attain our goals in the way of wage In-creases, better working condi-tions and fringe benefits. We must go out and seek candi-

dates who will look to make changes in the Taylor Law. This is the most difficult force against state en:ployees and it must be examined. Until we can politically motivate ourselves to change the law through new candidates, 'we'll continue to have problems."

Stella Williams, State Insurance Fund: "Yes, they should be active. Over the last three or four years, state em-ployees have felt the wrath of legislators coming and going. We have been hard-hit at times when other agencies and other workers have gotten raises, and we haven't gotten any. I think it's time for the state workers to stand up and be counted and let the legislators know that we are taxpayers too. We

have the same needs that other people have. And I think state employees are for the first time trying to find out who the state legislators are who support us. And we're trying to work to get them elected."

Vincent Rubano, State Insurance Fund: "I be-lieve that state employees should take action. It is part of their way of life, in a sense, because they have to deal with these people at all levels. The type of action they should take is to support them actively by giving them help, by ringing doorbells, getting petitions sign-ed, mailing iten:s, and if neces-sary, contributing funds. There must be more participation by

the average union member. If they could under-stand what a political action committee is trying to do, we would have a stronger group."

Victor Costa, Workmen's Compensation Board; "First of all, I absolutely agree that state employees should

» make some concerted effort in the political action area. How-ever, public employee versus the private sector employee is quite different because there are cer-tain federal and state regula-tions which limit the participa-tion of certain public employees. However, there Is no limit as to the manpower that is avail-

able to talk up a political candidate who has a sort of sympathy for the plight of the public employee In the state of New York. The workers should go out and rouse support for a candidate who's sympathetic. The entire crux of an election Is to win."

Haward Quann, Nassau Department of Social Services: "As an employee of the social services department. It's unique that I'm asked that question. I personally feel that political action is an arm that the civil service employee must use to gain some of the benefits that normally we miss by non-action. Through political action, we can gain better benefits by following and participating In the campaign of a politician

who is for the public employee and will formu-late better legislation. As an Individual, one should not participate, but If It's through a political action group for civil servants, that's fine."

Anthony Giannetti, zoning inspector, Hempstead: "Yes, they should take part in political action. I also believe what they're doing presently is the proper political action to take. They are having their meetings. They're raising funds to support the legislators who support the CSEA. And also, the same funds are going to be used against the legislators who don't support our union. And this is something that has to

be done. But legislators should act on behalf of the majority they represent."

Our current Assemblyman, Mr.

Lloyd S. Rlford, (R-C, Cayuga, Cortland) has been imresponsive to the needs of the Mnk and file CSEA members. Despite fis-cal restraints, Mr. Rlford voted for and accepted legislative lulus, which certainly runs counter to the interests of the CSEA and all other constituents. His vote against the "Sunshine Law" is consistent with the unresponsive and neglectful politics played In Albany. Mr. Rlfoixi Is not a voice In Albany; he is, rather, a silent partner in the corporate business of Albany politics.

The report and corroboration that Mr. Riford used his posi-tion, a position we the voters placed him In, to attempt to in-terfere with the CSEA endorse-ment is most distressing.

Up to this time, only New York City and Alaska systems hav^ given the required two-year advance notice to the Fed-eral government that they are withdrawing. However, Milwau-kee, Hawaii, Maryland and Wy-oming are considering withdraw-al. They can withdraw on the basis of a Constitutional pro-hibition against Federal tax-ation of cities and states. Under various other pressures, about 45,000 public employees in small units in California, Louisiana and Texas have withdrawn. Of the IQ million public employees now covered, about 500,000 are en-dangered by present considera-tion.

Legislative And Political Action Committee Report

The following: is the Legislative and Political Action Committee Report sub-mitted at the CSEA annual convention. The committee chairman is Martin J. Langrer and members are Richard Grieco, Vincent Rubano, Eleanor Korchak, Ralph Natale, Earl Bivins, Howard Cropsey, Martin Koenig, Ramona Gal-lagher, Ruth Braverman, John Vallee and Canute Bernard.

Philosophers, for years, have stated that "a journey of a thousand miles begins with but a single step." Little doubt exists in the minds of this Com-mittee that in the area of political ac-tion, we have in fact taken that first step. While it was perhaps flattering to think that CSEA could have become a viable political being during the last session of the legislators, it was never-theless an unrealistic and wishful goal. The best analogy would probably be a desire to reach the moon when, in fact, the airplane had not yet been invented. Success in that type of a venture is dependent upon the establishment of a logical progression of events. Similarly successful political action is equally de-pendent upon such a progression.

While the pioneers in air travel stu-died the principles of successful flight before any real hope was engendered, our Committee studied the successful in-gredient of viable political action. Sim-ply stated, those ingredients were re-duced to one thought—the successful support of endorsed candidates. The key word is obviously support. In terms of

observable situations, candidates, for the most part, have been most responsive to those groups who have demonstrated both economic and personal support dur-insr their bids for election. Success, therefore, comes when the groups can successfully demonstrate that this type of support can be produced. Prior to this current election period, local can-didates have never really been quite sure as to whether or not CSEA could truly produce the kind of support that the situation requires. Consequently and un-fortunately, their legislative decisions have been reflections of that type of uncertainty.

At this very moment, the local re-gions are preparing to make this cur-rent legislative mentality obsolete. Un-fortunately. as we are learning, there is some difference between the theory and practice of political science. It is relatively easy to set up a format for action which draws both its strength and its direction from the grass roots; and it is perhaps another to create the solidarity, the cooperation, and the eco-nomic base necessary to transplant this concept from the abstract to the concrete.

Perhaps the scars of past defeats are about to start working in our favor. Despite the problems, it is becoming ap-parent that our many wounds are mak-ing us forget party affiliations; and people are. for the first tin-.e. starting to realize that our only vested interest is CSEA. Clearly, public employees have been substantially reduced in stature and

Pension Committee Report The following is the Pension Com-

mittee Report submitted at the CSEA annual convention. Chairman is Doro-thy Goetz, and members are Nicholas Fiscarelli, Edward McGreevy, Thomas Elhage, Alice Bennett, Sarah DaRe, Judy Murray, Bob Diecidue, James Cur-rier and Jane O'Connor.

The Pension Committee has looked at its role in light of how it can best serve the members of CSEA. Since pen-sion improvements can only be legislated or negotiated, the function that this committee previously performed is now moot. After much discussion, the com-mittee decided that it should take a practical approach. We decided that our goals should be twofold, safeguarding the pensions of present and future pub-lic employees and the education of CSEA members in the area of benefits available through the retirement sys-tems.

The committee feels that the first goal can be undertaken by attempting to develop counter-arguments on the question of pension reforir.. Our far-ranging hope is that this might lead to the repeal of the Coordinated Escalator Retirement Plan of 1976. It would be necessary to make a comparison of both private as well as other public pension plans in order to determine what valid arguments could be put forth.

Since the education of members of the retirement systems is a primary function of each retirement system, it was decided that we would attempt to work with the retirement systems and simply be the medium for passsing on the information to the membership.

I have met with the Executive Direc-tor of the New York State Employees Retirement System and he has coop-erated fully with some of the goals that this committee has established. Some of the iiiformation that will be available to the membership Is as follows: 1. There will be published in the Leader on a regular basis either a question-and-ans-wer column or a narrative column con-cerning retirea.ent problems. 2. A list of the offices, days and times when rep-resentatives available will be pub-

lished. 3. Names of key personnel in the retirement offices will be published in order to allow members to know who to contact regarding a particular type of problem. 4. Copies of publications of the retirement system will be distributed regularly to the membership.

The Comptroller has established an advisory committee to study the general topic of pensions. The representative from CSEA on this committee. James Currier, is a member of the Pension Committee and will issue a report re-garding the actions of this advisory board as part of this committee's report.

The Pension Committee feels that it has an important function to the mem-bership of this organization and intends to take an active role in the future. I am sure that we will be able to perform a valuable function.

value by almost all other sections of the voting public. Unless we start to ele-vate our image and ourselves, our prob-lems will certainly worsen. This reality has suddenly and violently been driven home in all of our minds. Consequent-ly, our freshman year of political ac-tion is coming upon us. Money is start-ing to come into our political warchests. CSEA workers are making themselves visible to the candidates, and our mem-bers have finally realized the import-ance of a solid voting block.

It would serve no useful purpose at this moment to go into great detail regarding our legislative effort during the past session. While we opened some windows during the legislative hearing regarding our LOBA bill and while no guarantees can be given, our profiles of condidates would seerr. to indicate a high level of future support for this and other possible CSEA-sponsored legisla-tion.

Our political future is inexorably tied into our ability to provide the kind of support mentioned earlier. If our sup-port is total and real, the promise of political success is going to be equal,

total and real. If we manage to pro-duce that which I believe we are cap-able of producing, our Committee will know our "eagle has landed."

This Committee's initial role dur-ing the 1976 legislative session was one of experimentation. We feel that we have firmly established concepts In the minds of many of the legislators con-cerning our legislative goals. We have determined our priorities in regard to legislation during the 1977 legislative session. In addition, the Committee has resolved that a regular report will be sent to each chapter president outlining the details of CSEA's major legislation as well -as the progress of other bills affecting the CSEA membership.

We have discussed our priorities and have instructed our lobbyists to prepare the necessary legislation and take the necessary actions to have the bills in-troduced. Although our list of goals is numerous, we are specifically enumerat-ing what we consider to be the most important pieces of legislation that will be supported by CSEA during the com-ing year:

1. Last-Offer-Binding Arbitration— a method of resolvement of disputes and negotiations.

2. Agency Shop—the payment by a non-member of an amount equival-ent to the full union dues—the bene-fit guaranteed upon certification.

3. Mental Hygiene Bills—amend-ments to the series of bills affecting the future of mental hygiene in-stitutions.

4. Occupational Safety and Health Legislation—the institution of a New York State plan for inspection.

5. Military Service Credit Towards Retirement—allowing veterans of World War 2 and the major conflicts to receive credit towards retirement.

6. Pension-Reform Legislation — amending the Coordinated Escalator Retirement Plan of 1976.

7. Elimination of Strike Pena l t i e s -amending the two-for-one penalty and probationary extension penalty.

8. Retirees Legislation—amendments changing the supplemental pension benefits and survivors benefits. As I have stated, these are the main

basis of legislation that we are concen-trating on; but they are not the only areas to be included in our legislative program. Tliis Committee and your lob-byists will regularly be in contact with you and your membership concerning our legislative program. With your help and support, we can make it effective. To do that, our overall legislative and political action program, must begin now with each and every member supporting the CSEA endorsed candidates. Hope-fully, this will give us a basis on which we can operate during the upcoming legislative session.

Education Committee Report Since our last report to the Delegates

at the Spring Convention, your State-wide Education Coir.mittee has been actively involved in updating educa-tional materials, sponsoring staff and member workshops, and preparing new resource materials for general use in the ever increasing number of educa-tional services being made available to CSEA members.

The Shop Steward's Manual has been completed and will be available for distribution early this Fall. The Com-mittee is planning Regional Workshops for potential stewards emphasizing their duties and responsibilities and the vital role they play in CSEA activities.

The Chapter Officers' Manual has been updated and will be available through Regional Offices rather than Headquarters in an effort to emphasize local service.

Seminars and workshops have been provided on a local and regional basis covering such topics as CETA, Retire-ment Plans, Grievance Procedures, Lead-

ership Training, Employee Benefits Training Programs and others related to concerns and problems of public employees.

It is reassuring to note that each Region now has an Education Chairman

whose primary function will be to co-ordinate the education activities in the Region and serve as a liaison person to the Statewide Committee.

At the Annual Convention in October at the Concord, our Committee is plan-ning two education programs in addi-tion to the usual session on Parliamen-tary Procedures. One program will be a

discussion of Chapter Officers' Elections, and the second will be devoted to Work-men's Compensation as it affects the Public Employee.

We are continuing to make every effort to provide the kind of education-al services which our members need and deserve. Your suggestions are wel-comed.

Social Services Report The following is the Social Services

Report submitted at the CSEA annual convention. Committee chairman is Richard Tarmey and members are Ger-aldine McGraw, Patricia Spicci, Grace Vallee, Alan Shanks, William McMann, Haward Quann, Sally Forsyth and Patricia Thomas.

Since our last convention report, the Social Services Comirittee has met on four occasions. As we reported earlier, one of our goals has been to hold committee meetings in each of the five CSEA regions. To date, Region VI remains as the only unvisited area. Be-cause of the unique problems faced by social service employees, we plan in the next year to continue our regional meetings in addition to, perhaps, con-ducting workshops also on a regional basis.

This year, perhaps moi-e so than in other years, has seen not only the ag-gravation of certain long term problems, but the introduction of some most uni-que developments. Although many fac-tors are actually involved, changing leadership at the State level in addition to the general condition of the economy must not be overlooked as, i>erhaps, the prime factors involved.

As you are probably now aware, Mr. Philip Toya was recently permanently appointed as State Commissioner of Social Servcices. In an effort to more fully understand what is to be ex-pected in terms of policy, programs, etc,, it has been a general policy of this committee to try to familiarize our-

selves with each State commissioner. As with any other department or agency, changes are to be expected when lead-ership shifts from one commissioner to another. This past two-year period has seen three changes in leadership at the State level In addition to the constantly changing policies on the Federal level, the State has also ex-perienced some major program changes. Although we currently expect no major changes in State policy, it is true, how-ever, that we are experiencing some-what of a transition period. What is to be expected will, of course, be the

subject of further study of this com-mittee.

The general state of the economy has probably carried with it the most negative effects for CSEA members. While leadership changes have caused predictable lulls in program develop-ment, the lack of funds and, in some cases, the lack of willingness to appro-priate funds has had a disastrous ef-fect on all public employees. Unprece-dented contract disputes, widespread lay-offs, the failure of local legislatures to create necessary jobs have all com-bined to the detriment of public em-ployees in general. During our March convention presentation, representatives from State Social Services indicated the

type of difficulties encountered when local legislatures are confronted with increasing costs without total reim-bursement for either the State or Fed-eral government. Ths continues to be a major problem as illustrated by the re-fusal of the County of Erie to appro-priate the necessary funds for social service programs earlier this year.

We are most hopeful that this up-coming year will provide us with the opportunity to again involve ourselves op the various local levels throughout the State.

With that in mind, we again offer our assistance whenever needed. Our committee may be contacted through Philip Miller, Staff Coordinator, Head-quarters, 33 Elk St.. Albany, N.Y.

During the last several weeks, mem-bers of the Statewide Non-Teaching School Employees Committee have been traveling tliroughout the State of New York for the purpose of discussing the new regulations for bus drivers of school districts. Thest' regulations were formu-lated because of recent amendments to Article 19A of the New York State Traffic and Vehicle Law and Article 9A of the New York State Transportation

Law. The regulations promulgated under the amendments to Article 19A of the Traffic and Vehicle Law will require a more .stringent review of the driving record of a bus driver, a more com-plex physical examination, a biennial written or oral test on highway safety as well as other topics and a biennial road test as well as tighter require-ments In many areas for new bus drivers. The regulations which grew out of the amendments to Article 9A of the Transportation Law will estab-lish for the first time logging proced-ures for drivers of school buses.

By convening these meetings 4n each region of the State, the comn:ittee feels that It has been able to inform bus drivers of the regulations, discuss the regulations with such bus drivers and

provide the bus drivers living in the different regions with an understanding of the impact that such regulations will have on the performance of their duties. It is hoped that these meetings have helped drivers of school buses comprehend the new regulations more completely so that they will be able to work within the framework established by such regulations and therefore pro-tect themselves from violating the regu-lations because they were not fully aware of them.

Because it has been informed that there may be changes in the regula-tions already established for bus drivers, the committee will compile any changes that .T.ay be made in such regulations and Inform bus drivers of them through articles In the Leader as well as by other means.

In addition to the aforementioned area, it has also been working with local CSEA school units in an attempt to save food service departments when notified of the possible closing of such departments.

In these and other areas of con-cern to non-teaching employees, the Statewide Non-Teaching School Em-ployees Committee will endeavor to do as much as is necessary to help em-ployees of school districts solve their problems while keeping them Informed of the everchanglng conditions they face as employees of school districts. By ac-conr.pllshlng the goals it has set for itself, the committee hopes that it can be a strong force in protecting the In-terests of non-teaching employees in matters affecting such employees.

MANHATTAN — T h e cost -o f - l iv ing adjustment—COLA, for short—figures In m a n y labor-management contracts, Including some signed by the Civil Service Employees Assn.

What it Involves is a wage in-crease to compensate for in-creases in the cost of living caused by Inflation.

It—COLA—is based on the federal government's Consumer Price Index, or CPI.

But what is the CPI? According to Herbert Bien-

stock, regional commissioner of the U.S. Department of Labor's Bureau of Labor Statistics, "The CPI Is a statistical measure of changes in prices and goods and services bought by urban wage earners and clerical workers, in-cluding families and single con-sumers."

The CPI, Mr. Bienstock notes, represents nearly everything that people buy.

"Food, clothing, automobiles, homes, household furnishings, fuel, drugs, and recreational' goods, among others," he said.

CPI also includes "fees to doc-tors, lawyers, beauty shops, rent, repair costs of all sorts, trans-portation costs, public utility rates, sales and excise taxes and others."

The CPI, Mr. Bienstock con-tinued, "also includes real estate taxes on owned homes but does not include income or personal property taxes."

The Bureau of Labor Statis-tics calculates a monthly index which reflects trends in all lu--ban places in the United States and, specifically, 23 areas.

Individual area indices meas-ure how much prices have changed—up or down—in a par-ticular area from time to time. They cannot, however, be used to measure differences from a given city to a given city.

The CPI also issues a City Worker Family Budget Report. This delineates the cost of a total Budget for a specifically defined family unit at three eco-

nomic levels in 40 UJ3. metro-politan areas.

Additional information is available from Mr. Blenatock's office.

The address is Herbert Bien-stock, Regional Commissioner, U.S. Department of Labor, Bur-eau of Labor Statistics, 1515 Broadway, New York. N.Y. 10036. The telephone number Is (212) 399-5405.

C.S. Review Panel Named ALBANY — A f ive-member

panel of higher education and personnel administra-tion off ic ials was named last week to review New York State's 93-year-old Civil Service System and suggest changes to modern-ize it.

While the five consultants, who were appointed by Victor S. Bahou, president of the State Civil Service Commission, will study specific areas of the Civil Service Merit System, lan inter-nal review will also be conducted.

Recommendations are being taken from legislators, agencies, and employee and public interest •groups.

All recommendations for or-ganizational, procedural and statutory changes will be sub-mitted to the Civil Service De-partment. Hiarvey Randall, of the Department's legal section, is the study coordinator.

The panel consultants are James Smoot, a vice chancellor at the State University, who will study jurisdictional classifi-cation of state positions; Friank

Steggert, adjunct professor of social welfare at SUNY and a management consultant, who will study management devel-opment and training; Theodore Lang, a Baruch College educa-tion professor, who will study selection and promotion proces-ses; Enid Beaumont, director of the 7,000 member International Personnel Management Assn.'s Washington office, who will an-alyze the Civil Service Depart-ment's organization, and Arnold deMille, a former assist/ant city personnel director for the New York City Civil Service Commis-sion, who will review affirmative action In the State Civil Service.

In naming the consultants, Commissioner Bahou said, "We have brought together a panel of distinguished experts represent-ing a wide range of disciplines and a broad spectrum of view-points land philosophies. We are confident that their findings and recommendations will be of great value in our continuing efforts to modernize and improve the Civil Seervice System in New York.

I SHORT TAKES I M.D.'S WORK CURBED

The group reflponslble for enforcing Gov. Hugh L. Carey's con-flict-of-interest regulations has imposed strict

new orders on limiting .the amounts of outside practice that can be done by Mental Hygiene Department physicians and psychiatrists. The new limits may bring the board Into conflict with Commissioner Lawrence C. Kolb. Under the guidelines Issued by the Board of Public Disclosure, directors of the state's 59 Mental Hygiene facilities will not be al-lowed any private practice and about 400 other doctors will be limited to practices of about five hours a week. A Disclosure Board official said tha t nearly half of the DMH professionals maintain outside practices ranging from a few hours to 40 hours a week. These activities have been allowed under DMH regulations. The Board has the power to superseed such Interdepartment regulations. Under the Governor's Executive Order 10, state employees earning more than $30,000 annually are forbidden to engage in outside work DMH says such outside work is desirable in tliat it helps to keep the skills of the professionals honed and also a necessary incentive to keep doctors working for the state. • • • RAISE VET PENSIONS

The Senate has completed work on legislation tha t would provide a 7 percent cost-of-living Increase to pensioned veterans. The bill also makes permanent a pension hike enacted last year but scheduled to expire Oct. 1, while calling for a 25 percent Increase In the pensions of veterans aged 78 or older. The bill raises the Income limits for pension eligibility from $3,300 to $3,540 a year if single and from $4,500 to $4,760 if married. Maximum benefits for a single veteran are now $173 a month and $186 a month for a veteran with a dependent. The Senate also approved a bill providing an 8 percent boost for disabled veterans and for survivors of veterans killed In action. Tha t measure now goes to the House.

SPECIAL BIAS SCRUTINY s t a t e Human Rights Commissioner Werner Kramansky has

designated large state agencies with extensive contact with the public for special scrutiny in hiring and promotion practices. The announcement follows closely an executive order issued by Gov. Hugh L. Carey concerning hiring and promotion practices in state agencies for the members of minority groups, women and the dis-abled. Under the authority of the executive order, the Division of Human Rights will request computer printouts from the Department of Civil Service on the hiring and promotion practices of each agency. "There appears to be substantial underemployment of minorities and women in the upper levels of both competitive and non-com-petitive slots," Mr. Kramansky ot>served.

Hempstead CSEAers In Court An^' ^ ^ et • A T . n A M V TVka R f . a t ^ H l v l l a hiMtfr4>t>lnff l u r e n e v . MANHASSET — The Civil

Service Employees Assn. has gone to court to force the Town of North Hempstead to continue to pay overtime to em-ployees, according to the terms of the CSEIA contract. I t has aJso filed aji improper practices charge with the Public Employ-ment Relations Board alleging the withholding of payroll rec-ords from the union.

The two actions were initiated by Ed Ochenkoski, president of the Town of North Hempstead unit of the Nassau CSEA chapter.

"The government of North Hempstead has apparently em-barked on a policy of deliberate harassment of the union and the employees it represents," said Mr. Ochenkoski.

"The town leaders must think that North Hempstead is their private fiefdom, rather than a small unit of the elected govern-ment of this country," he added.

Mr. Ochenkoski said that the

CSEA has at t»npted to (^taln payroll comiputer runs since August, but that the town has not responded to either oral or written requests for the informa-ion. The CSEA needs the payroll rims for collective bargaining for the 1977 contract.

In addition, the CSEA said. North Hempstead has launched a policy of refusing overtime pay rates to employees who have taken a vacation day, been out sick, and have not worked a full 40-hour week.

Town leaders claim they base their authority to withhold over-time on a "comptroller's opin-ion," a non-binder, non-legal opinion Issued by the New York State Comptroller's office.

"If this practice is established, it would violate both our con-tri\ct which give employees an agreed-upon amount of vacation and sick days each year as well as the past practices clause in our collective bargaining agree-

ment with the town," MT. Oc-henkoski said.

Town officials hiave 20 days to answer the Nassau County Su-preme Court summary of com-plaint, which was served on town fathers on Oct. 6 by Mr. Ochen-koski.

In North Hempstead, the CSEA represents more than 500 white-and-blue collar workers,

We think a healthy smile is everyone s r i g h t -ram or shine. But, a naturally beauti ful smile is more of ten than not the result of good pre-vent ive dental care — periodic visits to a dentist to stop t rouble before it starts.

Prevent ive care not only results in a nice smile, it can also help prevent i l lnesses that result from, or are aggravated by, dental neglect. But too many people say. "It isn't the "d r i l l - i t s the bill that hurts."

Sure, dental care can be expensive To meet this expense it s important for you to have some kind of dental plan that provides realistic benef i ts for you and your family.

An 11% Boost Is Negotiated In Auburn Pact

AUBURN—A two-year con-tract between the Civil Ser-vice Employees Assn. and the City of Auburn, which will cover more than 200 city work-ers, has been signed.

Ron Smith, CSEA field repre-sentative and spokesman for ths union during the seven months of negotiations, Indicated the new contract includes wage in-creases of 6 percent the first year and 5 percent the second year.

The contract also contains other benefits including an op-tion for unused sick leave that oan be applied for additional re-tirement credit; a new article covering layoff and job recall foi-labor and non-competltlve em-ployees; additional pay for work-ing out of job titles in excess of two days, and numerous other language changes agreed upon by both parties.

Heeding the employees nego-tiating team were Tom McNabb. City of Auburn unit president; Bruce Nolan. CSEA Cayuga County chapter presidejit; Walt McComiell, and Michael Mar-tino.

Bruce Clifford, Auburn city manager, represented the City.

The new contract Is retroac-tive to Jan. 1.

ment must be re-enacted each year and be made permanent. The proposal also holds that the present retirement year cutoff —1968—be extended to Include those who retired through 1971.

• A survivor's benefit for New York State retirees who retire from state employment before Oct. 1, 1966 of $2,000.

• An extension of the health insurance plan now covering re-tirees which would include a den-tal insurance plan comparable to that now enjoyed by active em-ployees.

• An extension of the health insurance now in effect for New

York State retirees which would include coverage for the surviv-ing spouse to the extent of the unused sick leave money avail-able.

• Federal legislation modify-ing the Internal Revenue Act of 1954 to provide a tax exemption on the first $5,000 of retirement income.

John Van Duzer, fonner pres-ident of the Mid-Hudson Retirees chapter, expressed thanks to the Southern Region for approving the retiree recommendations. He noted, however, that similar rec-ommendations never were ap-proved at state CSEA conventions because they are usually consid-ered at the end of the conven-tion agenda.

Southern Region president James J . Lennon agreed to ac-cept a motion directing him to introduce the retiree resolutions early In the convention.

This resolution was introduced and approved unanimously by the members.

The retirees were commended for helping in the recent Ulster County representation election by

Thomas Phillips, Ulster chapter president.

"People like Tris Schwartz and Nellie Davis and many other re-tirees did a tremendous Job for us by stuffing envelopes and do-ing other clerical Jobs, so that we were able to score another vic-tory for CSEA." Mr. Phillips said.

Mr. Lennon said all public em-ployees should be wary of con-tinuing efforts to change the pen-sion systenr. by the state admin-istration and the legislature.

"They talk about a new pen-sion system all of the time, but we have to be very careful that we do not lose benefits that It took years of fighting and hard work to attain." Mr. Lennon said.

Several resolutions to be acted upon at the convention intro-duced from the floor at the meet-ing Include one to change the voting order during the annual state CSEA elections.

The resolution was made bo remedy the fact that In the pre-sent balloting system, regional officers are polled after 46 state-wide delegates, allegedly making the ballot somewhat unwieldy.

STRENGTH MEMBERSHIP

UNITY 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 tinrras. the greater the percentage of nnembership 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 nfiembers 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.

OWEN JOHNSON

L.l.'s Johnson Rips Non-Civil Service Carey Appointments

WEST BABYLON — State Senator Owen H. Johnson (R-Suffolk, Nassau) has crit-icized what he termed "the •sharp Increase In Democratic appointments."

"Since the ibeglmnlng of CJov-ernor Carey's first full state fis-cal yeiar, the number of civil ser-vice positions filled has dropped by 4.5 percent. However, during tha t same time, non-civil service appointments soared by 26.9 per-cent." Senator Johnson stated.

"I t appears t h a t the civil ser-vice worker who has to meet specific requirements is being victimized by the Carey Admin-istration in favor of very often unqualified political appointees. It 's who you know—^not wh)at you know," the lawmaker said.

Senator Johnson concluded: "We have thousands of people looking for jobs on Long Island who do not appreciate the kind of political payoffs the Governor specializes in.

"The next time Governor Carey claims how he has re-duced the number of state em-ployees, remember, the reduction was accomplished by cutting civil service jobs and replacing them with appointive positions, about which we hear little."

which were incorporated in an Order by State Human Rights Commissioner Werner H. Kra-marsky tha t capped proceedings which commenced with the fil-ing of a complaint by Kevin Mil-ler, of Long Beach, who had tried unsuccessfully to become a N€is-dau police officer.

In November 1972, he satisfac-torily passed a series of civil ser-vice exams for police officer, but af ter admitting tha t he suffered one "breathing a t tack" in seven years, the 23-year-old Mr. Miller was told tha t his "history of as thma" barred him from the position.

When certificates f rom three physicians, attesting to his per-fect health failed to sway the Nassau Civil Service Commission and gain him a place on the Civil Service list. Mr. Miller filed a complaint with the Division of Human Rights. He accused the county of discriminating against him in employment because of his alleged disability, a violation of the New York State Human Rights Law.

After investigation, the Divi-sion determined tha t there was evidence to support Mr. Miller's charges. I t scheduled the case for a public hearing held before Irwin Pantell, a hearing exam-iner, with lattorney Bernard Rooney representing the Divi-sion.

After commencement of the hearing, counsel advised tha t a stipulation of settlement had been reached, and tha t Nassau County, the Nassau County Civil Service Commission and Adele Leonard, Its executive director, had agreed to take certJain af f i r -mative stei>s.

After conceding t ha t Mr. Mil-ler is medically qualified "so far as his having any alleged asthma condition" to fulfill the duties of a police officer, the respondents agreed to place his name on the current civil service list for police patrolman "in the same position and rank he would have had If he hadn ' t been disqualified."

ALBANY—A Public Employment Relations Board fact-finder, John Sands, of Schenectady, has recommended the payment of increments to members of the state Professional, Scientific and Technical Bargaining Unit employed by the New York State Thruway.

Mr. Sands was named by the PERB as a fact-finder following a dljspute between Thruway authorities and the Civil Service Employees Assn.

Mr. Sands recommended "a contract commencing on the date of agreement and expiring June 30, 1978. In making his salary recommendations, he found that "an equitable balance of the parties' competing inter-ests must take into account both the persuasive present circum-stJances and the uncertainty of future developments."

He therefore granted payment of increments required July 1. 1976 by the present salary scale during the first year of the con-

tract and left open the salary provision for the second year. He recommended that negotia-tions be reopened for the sec-ond year after the first week in January 1977 upon the demand of either piarty.

The fact-finder recommended that the amount of paid organi-zational leave for specified CSEA officers employed by the Auth-ority be reduced from 580 to 290 inasmuch as less than half the allotted time under the previous contract had been used.

He also called for retention of the meal lallowance for employ-ees who work three hours or more continuous overtime.

PREPARING FOR ACTION James Lennon, left, president of Southern Region III, Civil Service Employees Assn., confers witli CSEA political action coordinator Bernard Ryan, center, and Pat Mascioli, reg:ion political action chairman, at a recent region meeting to consider area political activities. Similar meetings have been held around the state in recent weeks in anticipation of the coming November election.

CSEA Issues Its Endorsements ALBANY —The Civil Ser-

vice Employees Assn. has re-leased a list of candidates for seats in the State Senate and Assembly which it ha.s endorsed.

The endorsements were made on the basis of investigations of candidates' positions on matters of concern to public sector work-ers by CSEA unit, chapter, re-gion and Headquarters political action organizations. In districts where no candidate in the com-ing November contests wias deemed worthy of support, a "none" endorsement enti-y ap-pears.

The CSEA's political action campaign this year has been de-scribed by union president Theo-dore C. Wenzl as an action ' To reward our friends and punish our enemies."

Once given CSEA endorsement, the favored candidates will re-ceive campiaign assistance and, in some cases, funds from the union membership.

Monroe Talks Finally Begin ROCHESTER — Negotia-

tions between the Civil Ser-vice Employees Assn. and Monroe County have begun after a delay of several months.

Martin Koenig, president of the CSEA's Monroe County chap-ter, the largest In the area, said he expects "tough negotiations," adding he doesn't expect agree-ment on a new contract before the Dec. 31 expiration date of the present contract.

Talks have been delayed by a struggle over proposed layoffs and proposed furloughs.

"We've won every round," Mr. Koenig said.

However, County Manager Lu-clen Morin has stirred criticism by announcing publicly that sal-ary schedules for county enr:ploy-ees will stay the same under his proposed 1977 budget.

"This might be contrary to Taylor Law provisions," Mr. Koe-nig said. "We're looking Into It. It certainly shows bad faith to an-nounce before negotiations even begin that there won't be any pay raise."

Mr. Koenig said he and the chapter negotiations team will

seek a pay raise, but he declined to say how much. The 4,000 county workers received a 7 per-cent pay hike Jan. 1 and a 1 percent increase July 1.

The first bargaining session was held Oct. 8, but the only discussion involved ground rules for future sessions.

Capital District Retirees Meet

ALBANY — The Capital District Retiree chapter, Civil Service Employees Assn., will hold its first meeting of the autumn Wednesday, Oct. 20.

The meeting will be held at CSEA Headquarters. 33 Elk St., Albany. Guest speaker will be Richard D. Heialy, head of the Albany County Office of the Aging. Mr. Healy will spe«k on the county's discount program for senior citizens which will go into effect next month.

Following Mr. Healy's remarks, a buslneiss meeting will be held, according to chapter president John J. Kennedy.

In 1974, contract talks began in May and were not concluded until the following March. That two-year contract Is the one ex-piring at the end of this year.

The county first proposed lay-ing off 400 employees but later scaled down the figure to 100. The county legislature voted the proposal.

Other proposals discarded after CSEA pressure were two-week furloughs for all employees and voluntary 10 percent pay de-creases.

Mr. Morin said last week he would not support any move to withdraw county employees from the federal Social Security sys-tem.

Legislator John R. Hoff, Re-publican majority leader, pro-posed the possible pullout from the Social Security system to help case the county's financial problems. Mr. Morin said the removal of Social Security bene-fits would be a major change in conditions for county employees and probably would require their approval.

The CSEA opposes the with-drawal.
