As a reslt, according to a nion spokesman, CSEA has declared an impasse in the prolonged contract negotiations and has reqested the appointment of a mediator to enter the dispte. CSEA collective specialist W. Reiben Ctoring, chief nion negotiator on behalf of the Athority employees, charged that Edward J.

Masten Park, a mlti-modality treatment center, the only one of its kind in an area that covers Bffalo, Niagara Falls, Rochester, Syracse, the Catskills and the entire Sothern Tier of the state, is being partially dismantled. Althogh it is one of the three ODAS treatment centers slated to remain open, it will be left only in a skeletal state.

One recommends a 6.6 percent general salary increase pls benefits. A second a 6.6 percent salary ncrease effective Jly 1 pls some benefits. The third a wage freeze copled with abolition of the graded salary plan and a contribtory and i-edced pension system. rving Flamenbiam, president of the chapter, told a press conference that the chapter wold accept the first report. He forecast that the chapter wold sbmit to the members the second plan if it is accepted by the conty exective. However, he said that the CSEA negotiating team expected that both reports making provision for a wiage adjiistment wold be trned down by Conty Exective Ralph G. Caso. That wold set the stage for the conty's second imposed contract in as many years to be fixed by the Board of Spervisors. t was apparently the first time nder the Taylor Law that the three-member fiact finding pianel had been nable to reach a majority and minority report. All three members sbmitted independent reports. They are Greorge Peak, CSEA's nominee to the panel; impartial chairman Herbert L. Marx Jr., and the conty's nominee, William B. Corbin. Observers noted that Mr. Corbin adopted the conty's negotiating position in toto, while Mr. Peak went to some lengths to reach n compromise agreement with Mr. Marx. The reports revealed Dhat negotiators had alre-ady agreed on two benefits: increasing atomobile mileage reimbrsement from 15 to 18 cents per mile and defining eligibility for bereavement days. The Marx and Pdak reports agreed on several major isses inclding retention of the graded salary plan; payment of increments; binding arbitration on grievances; a 90-day limit on instittion of disciplinary actions, land provisions for time off for volnteer firemen. Jly 1 "to provide eqitable treatment for the employees and in response to their legitimate needs." The Conty Exective has 10 days to either reach a settlement with CSEA or sbmit the matter to the Board of Spervisors. Last year. Mr. Caso rejected a fact-finders' report and refsed to raise lan offer of 4 percent. On the isse of money, how- { ever, Mr. Marx offered a compromise between the 6.6 percent figre fond to compensate for the previos year's increase in the cost of living and the conty's demand for immediate crtailment of rising expenses and taxes. He recommended a wage freeze for the first six months of the crrent year to give the conty a breather, bt a 6.6 percent generial increase effective The Board of Spervisors imposed a settlement providing 6 to 6.5 percent increases. Mr. Peak called for the 6.6 percent cost of living adjstment for the fll year, noting that conty expenditres for salaries were rnning below the amont allowed in the bdget. "Elxpenditres for employees are npt in a rnaway condition with nianticipated expenditxires frther increasing the deficit," he observed. Mr. Peak also called for a 50- cents-per-hor night differential; 100-day accmlation of sick and vacation time with 100 percent credit on separiation; job secrity for labor and non-competitive titles; promotion by seniority; pro-rata benefits for part-time employees; a ban on contracting ot the work of conty employees; 100 percent health insrance pi-emim payment for retiring employees, and sick-time credit to be restored when the conty secres cash reimbrsement.

Field representative William Lochner commented, "CSEA has been well aware of the niqe circmstances srronding the Washington Conty employees. CSEA crrently represents employees in every conty of New York State, with the exception of Washington, Allegheny and Hamilton. We were approached by a nmber of Washington Ooxinty employees who wished niormatlon regarding the rights of pblic employees to organize.

"Conseqently, CSEA has met with 6 wide cross-section of interested Washington Conty employees and every attempt is crrently being made to nform them of their rights garanteed nder the Taylor Law, Mr. Lochner said.

Many workers lare fearfl that these benefits are gradally being eroded away de to conty financial pressres, Mr. Lochner added. "The consenss seems to be that a binding, negotiated agreement between the Conty and its employees is a viable answer. Oertainly by presenting a nified postre, the employees hope to obtain commitments from management in Washington Conty entailing job secrity, grievance procedre to resolve labor problems,' and a greater inpt dn determining their present and ftre economic sitation." CSEA will be sponsoring varios meetings to keep employees aware of the devleopments in the representation process, Mr. Lochner staid. "Of corse. CSEA has informed both the conty administration and the Pblic Employment Relations Board of the existence and makep of varios membership oonnlttees to protect these employees from any repressive actions by anti-nion elements. We will keep or actions pblic, and hope that the coiity will contine to act as a reasonable employer dring this campaign," the field repreaentatdve conclded. ized varios employees facing a politically cased layoff as 'deadwood.'

The dispted agreement affects approximately 140 toll collectors and maintenance employees of the State Bridge Athority assigned to five major bridges spanning the Hdson River and openated by the Athority. The employees nvolved are assigned to the Mid-Hdson Bridge at Poghkeepsie; the Rip Van Winkle Bridge at Catskill: the Bear Montain Bridge at Peekskill; the Kingston-Rhinecliff Bridge, and the Newbrgh- Beacon Bridge. Mr. Goring said the agreement reached at the bargaining tiatole dealing with employees and politicians." Mr. aplak added: "While CSEA s ready to assist the affected members n any legal matter against Mr. Dyson. t s apparent that the damage has already been done. "Prospective employers of all recently lald-off state employees are now wondering f they are nterviewing a 'deadwood' Job candidate.

The agreement in qestion, retroactive to April 1, 1976, was for two years with a salary reopener clase for the second year of the contract. The nion negotiator said CSEA has filed a formal reqest for mediation n the contnact with the State Pblic Employment Relations Board. Begin Mental Hygiene Stdy ALBANY The Mental Hygiene Presidents Concil, led by Civil Service Employees Assn. exective vicepresident William McOowan, has begn an intensive stdy of the possible conseqences of closing state mental instittions. The grop plans to release its findings n the form of a position paper which will be ssed to all state and conty legislators and to officials of local governments throghot the state. The Mental Hygiene presidents are sing the experience of California nder the 1969 Lanterman- Petris-Short Act for the basis of the stdy. This act closed state-rn instittions there in favor of a dispersed conty-rn mental health program. New York State lawmakers are crrently being asked to apix*ove similar legislation. The report will be released shortly. Watkins Drivers Fight School Bdget WATKNS GLEN nfriated that their local school board gnored a petition signed by 527 concerned voters. Schyler Conty Civil Service Employees Assn. leaders are looking for other mearxs of halting the layoffs of school bs drivers here. The school board recently voted to balance its bdget by firing half the reglar drivers from their reglar rns and dobling p assignments for the remaining drivers. The "savings expected from the bsing ctback is a mere smoke screen," said Clayre Liammari, CSEA director representing Schyler Conty employees. She explained that while the firings keep the bdget in balance, the expenditres for other individal items within the bdget have been increased. A srvey taken and presented to the board last month showed 93 percent opposition to the proposed bsing changes. When this failed to move the board, a petition was circlated to separate the transportation item from the rest of the bdget at the Jne 8 balloting. Ms. Llammari pointed ot that the 527 signators were more than half of the approximate 1,000 voters who voted on the last bdget. "Only one of s has a mandate from the people right now: either the board or the drivers," said Ms. Llammari. "Considering the srvey and the petition," she contined, "we believe we're the ones who do. Somebody's got to help the commnity voice to be heard. We're it. Up to now, no one has been listening. Parents don't want kids walking p to a mile or more, leaving in the dark, getting home by dark n winter. And they deserve the right to say so at the polls, withot it being sandwiched into the rest of the bdget." M P C/3 m < s > o n sj "i 3. a. a

4 c Ov tj r fid Q < M > tc CT) > Corbin To Sffolk Legislators: Repdiate Pact llegal Tactics' HAUPPAUGE James Corbin, president of the Sffolk Conty chapter, Civil Service Employees Assn., has called on the 18 members of the conty legislatre to repdiate what he termed "the illegal tactics" of the Conty Exective in nilaterally withholding increments and some longevity payments as negotiations for a new contract contine. The appeal was contiained n personal letters hand delivered in face-to-face meetdngs with each member of the conty legislatre by Mr. Corbin and members of the CSEA negotiating team. The conty appears to be stalling a CSEA lawsit now n the Appellate Division of Spreme Cort seeking piayment of the ncrements and longevity pay. The letters were accompanied by copies of a CSEA legal brief filed with the Appellate Division and other data interpreting the controlling laws. "We believe that, as a fairminded pblic official, yo will be able to jdge for yorself that... the conty has violated the law and that yo shold speak ot n opposition," Mr. Corbin wrote. Cort Upsets A Federal Ban On Aliens, Jobs WASHNGTON, D. C. The U.S. Spreme Cort, in a 5-4 decision, voided a nearly centry-old government practice and rled the Civil Service Commission may not bar resident lauens from federal civil service jobs. The decision said the Commission's reglation banning many non-cltdzens from competitive federal civil service posts violated the Fifth Amendment right of aliens to de process of law n denying them an "nterest n liberty" with no rational basis. The case stemmed from a sit broght by five Chinese residents of San Francisco who had been denied federal jobs becfase they were resident aliens. However, the rling does not seem to ban fti% job limitations for aliens as it opens a possibility that the President or Congress cold establish a valid limitation saying the national nterest wold be affected. The decision also left the door oe>en for the Commission to attempt to jstify la narrower limitation on jobs for aliens. NAME BROOKER ALBANY Gov. Hgh L. Carey has annonced the appointment of George M. Brooker, an officer in a real estiaite management, conslting and brokerage firm, to the Mnicipal Assistance Corporation for New York City. The nomination s sbject to Senate confirmation. Mr. Brooker was recommended by Mayor Abraham D. Beome to scceed William ElUnghas, of Bronxville, who resigned to become a member of the Emergency Financial Control Board. Mr. Brooker, SO. is secretarytreasrer and principal stockholder n Webb & Brooker nc. He is chairman of the board of directors of the New York Urban Leage, and a member of the board of the Management Division of the Real Estate Board of New York. The position dairries a salary of $100 a day, while on official bsiness. The Sffolk leader had earlier charged that the coimty had withheld the payments merely to "pi-essre" the CSEA negotiating team to agree to a hasty settlement. Mr. Corbin has rled ot any compromise on the sse of increments. "ncrements are not a negotiable item, so far as am concerned, and the negotiating committee agrees with me 100 percent." Fact-finding sessions resmed this week in the long contract mpasse as attorneys foght the conty's bid to postpone the legal challenge on the withholding of the piayments. Kingsboro Administration Assailed By CSEA Official n Nrse Termination Case BROOKLYN A nrse at Kingsboro Psychiatric Center has been cleared of charges of sexally absing a patient and George Bispham, spervisor of New York City Region, Civil Service Employees Assn., accsed the Center's administration of njstifiable harassment of the employee. The nrse, Pal Sam, had had three actions Wrogiht lagalnst him by the State Department of Mental Hygiene. On Jime 9, 1975, the Department served Mr. Sam wltii a notice of discipline charging miscondct. CSEA, representing Mr. Sam, thereipon filed a timely grievance which was processed throgh to arbitration. However, while the arbitration hearing was still pending, the Depiartment, on Ag. 21, served Mr. Sam with additional specifications which Mr. Sam and his spervisor nterpreted to be not new, bt additional charges^ to the original specifications of imsatlsfactory performance. On Ag. 25, the Department served a second notice on Mi". Sam, ncorporating the new speclfldatlons. A new grievance was not filed since the nion contended that the Ag. 25 notice merely amended the notice of discipline served on Jne 9. A Third Notice After the 14 days for grieving had elapsed, the Department, on Sept. 12, served Mr. Sam with yet a third notice of discipline alleging serios criminal charges of "sexal abse," and sspending him withot pay effective Sept. 11. Mr. Sam's attorney, Howiard Meyer, then reqested and was granted a postponement of the arbitration pending processing of the criminal charges. The Grand Jry of Kings Conty, n a felony hearing, later dismissed the criminal charges. After serving the third notice of discipline, the Department, apparently discovering that Mr. Sam had failed to grieve the second notice, terminated his employment effective Sept. 16. The administrators then engaged n a series of procedral manevers. The first and third notices of discipline were withdrawn, leaving only the discipline of Ag. 28. for which Mr. Sam had been terminated for failre to file a timely grievance. The Department then resisted the nion's efforts to replace Mr. sm's case on the calendar based on the withdrawal of charges in the original case and claimed there was nothing left to arbitrate. Mr. Bispham accsed the administration at Kingsboro of prsing a corse which wold preclde Mr. Sam from hiavlng an "mpartial review of the charges," and on Dec. 1 the nion served the Department with a notice of arbitration. Fired, Bt Employed The hearing was held before arbitrator John E. Sands who fond for the nion and Mi'. Sam. Mr. Sands stia^ted that tihe Department apparently manevered to ost the arbitrator of jrisdiction, ths avoiding a hearing on the merits of the dis- pted charges. Frther, Mr. Sands said, "the >epartment was attempting to ride two horses to its best adviantage, treating Sam as fired to preclde review on the merits while treating him as still employed to preserve viability of specifications charged in the first and third notices of discipline." Mr. Sands fond tiiat the Department of Mental Hygiene illegally terminated Mr. Sam's employment and ordeiied him reinstated with back pay. n a final hearing arbitrator James J. Klrlstls dismissed the charges of sexal abse, finding that the testimony of Mr. Sam was "mch more cogent than that testified to by the two witnesses presented by the Department." Prononcing Mr. Sam "not gilty," the arbitrator said that the administration witnesses jmped to a conclsion which evaporated f)on close scrtiny, and a lack of medical evidence. 'Nightmare Over' "Thank God, this nlghtmaie is over," Mr. Sam said, expressing his appreciation to CSEA and its representatives. " wold hiave been lost withot the nion's help." Mr. Bispham said that the Office of Employee Relations in the Department of Mental Hygiene is staffed with "Philadelphia lawyers advocating open confrontation with the nion and drafting trmped p chaises against employees n nstittions. "Let this serve las an edcation to Dr. Wallach. whom consider a complete novice n the field of labor relations." Mr. Bispham conclded. HllllllinillllllllllllllllllillltHllillllUHlin i SHORT TAKES ADDED NTEREST The state has abandoned a longstanding practice of permitting profits earned from parimtal betting at tracks arond the state to lie for periods p to a month in non-interest earning bank acconts. The expected nterest to be earned from the 12 harness and flat tracks amonts to approximately $700,000. Tax Commissioner James Tlly said the practice of permitting the cash to lie idle was "ostensibly n retrn for services performed" by the banks. Under the new procedre, the se of ntermediary banks has been eliminated and collections from the tracks will be deposited twice weekly in an Albany bank as additions to the state general fnd. He said another $58,000 in interest will be gained by reqiring the New York Racing Assn. to make payments of ts parimtal taxes on time. The NYRA s reqired to pay the taxes within 30 days after a race bt payments have previosly been allowed to lag for as many as 40 days. * JACKPOT Assembly Speaker Stanley Steingt predicted that state-operated gambling casinos cold generate p to $60 million annally for state coffers. Speaking at New York City's Barch College, Mr. Steingt said that the introdction of 35 sch gambling casinos the maximm nmber considered so far n New York City, the Catskill area and Niagara Falls, might generate more than $200 million in related bsiness revenes. Casino-enabling legislation is crrently before the Assembly Ways and Means Committee and the Codes Committee. t is considered a stdy bill and not an actal legislative proposal.

TTie Assemblyman made the comment pon passage of his bill which wold reqire police officers to notify crime victims of their right to compensation. The measre, given a fair chance to win Senate approval, wold increase maximin available benefits to victims from $15,000 to $20,000; eliminate the present reqirement that the victim mvist have lost at least $100 in earnings to be eligible for compensation, and extend the filing period for benefits from 90 days to a year. The ncreased benefits. t s estimated, will cost an additional $2.1 million. This wold be paid by proceeds from another bill increasing the fines levied on all persons convicted of felonies and misdemeanors. ««CORRECTONS CANDDATE Bffalo City Jdge Samel L. Green is reportedly nder consideration -for appointment as chairman of the St«tc Correction Commission. Bffalo law H^fessor Herman Schwarti, recommended for the post earlier by Gov. Hgh L. Oarey. was rejected by the State Senate. The rejection was seen by some as a political ploy throgh which Repblican legislators obtained a highly visible symbol of their independence. t has been learned that the Brea of Criminal nvestigation, plainclothes arm of the State Police, has begim a badi^grond check on Jdge Green, a rotine move prior to any major state appointment. Mr. Schwarts's rejection was the first sch in many years. He was opposed by several grops, inclding a corrections committee of the Civil Service Employees Assn., becase of his alleged lack of administrative experience and his appointment, while serving as acting chairman of the three-member commission, of several former prison imnates to posts on the body.

More than 20 percent of the respondees believe that personal bias by a rater plays an nfair part in merit ratings. Other complaints involved forced transfers, the fact that not enogh weight is given to seniority experience n merit ratings, the lack of protection afforded pblic employees who file grievances, alleged favoritism extended to minorities, and spervisors "who play favorites."

A FRDAY, JUNE 11, 1976 List Extension Bill RGUMENTS from New York City Mayor Abraham Beame's office and from the State Civil Service Department against extending the lives of civil service job candidate eligible lists do not strike s as particlarly good ones. A bill has been drafted by Assembly Leader Stanley Steingt's office which wold extend the lists beyond their normal for-year life span. The measre was drafted becase, de to the New York Clty-State money pinch, few if any list candidates are being hired. Mayor Beame's objection is that the Steingt measre wold give civil service commissions discretion to extend all lists; he seems to feel that the lists shold be extended on an individal basis. The Civil Service Department complains that the proposed bill wold case administrative problems in determining which persons are still available for hiring. Bt the Steingt proposal seems a fair one to s. People did take the troble to take the tests, did pass, and were given positions on the lists. And there they stay. t is certainly not their falt that the city and state have money problems. t s not excessive to say that n many instances, de to the hiring freeze, the lives of the eligible candidates have been sorely disrpted; t is difficlt to make career decisions while sspended n limbo. And, of corse, the testing program did cost money to administer, money that will be lost f the lives of the lists are not extended. So far as the Civil Service Department's argment goes, we cold perhaps accept t if this was the age of Bob Cratchett, with clerks-seated on high stools making entries with qul pens, and not the age of the compter. Bt even Scrooge and the Department appears to have adopted some of that character's less lovable characteristics wold admit that that age has been long gone. "Agency Shop" Bill F simple fairness prevails, passage by the State Legislatre of the pblic sector "Agency Shop" bill, now on the Assembly calendar and in a Senate committee, is assred. Briefly, the measre wold provide a mechanism in which pblic sector employees who do not belong to a nion wold have an amont of money removed from their paychecks eqivalent to the amont removed for des from the paychecks of nion members. This money wold then go to the labor organization representing the sector in which the non-nion employees work. Sponsors of the measre are Senator John E. Flynn (R-C, Bronx, Westchester) and Assemblyman Stephen R. Greco (D-C, Erie). t mst be stressed that the measre will not force nion membership on those who do not wish to be nion members; employees can join or refse to join a nion as they see fit. However, the measre will eliminate a long-standing abse. This abse, of corse, is the fact that in the past nion members carried all the brden in the fight for improved working conditions and pay. Non-nion members, althogh they shared in the.bonty, contribted nothing to the fight. "Freeloader" is a harsh term bt nothing else seems to come to mind. Civil Service Employees Assn. officials have rged members to write or call their senator and assemblyman rging passage of the bill. We endorse this call. (Continaed from Pmre 1) they are masters of their own destiny. There is no other way to accont for the ntimely srfacing last week of a proposal nder which the Albany solons wold doble their salaries. n view of the state's fiscal pictre, and in view of the endless sacrifices that civil service employees have been compelled to make on the altar of fiscal responsibility, this proposal in Albany makes for a great closing act in the theatre of the absrd. Adjornment Delayed Obviosly the members of the Legislatre are frstrated. Not too long ago they had hoped to adjorn by Memorial Day, or at the latest dring the first week in Jne. Both of those deadlines are already past and gone, bt the end still seems to be somewhere beyond the horizon. ndeed the troble seems to be that a new problem chrns p on almost a daily basis. The crisis at the City University has exploded into a disaster, teachers and employees have not been paid, examination and gradation plans have been scrapped, and no hope is in sight. The problem that the Legislatre has is a classic one: how to reconcile the different views between New York City legislators with those from other parts of the state. No dobt at some point an accommodation will be reached, bt that is largely a leadership problem, while the blk of the members sit arond, biting their nails ntil the leadership is ready to signal an agreement. Meanwhile, Mayor Abraham Eeame slipped another hot potato into the legislative program. n this one, the Mayor renews his demand for legislative athority to increase the City's commter tax to make p for revenes that the city originally anticipated from the city tax on decedents' estates, a tax which the Legislatre repealed before it became effective. The Beame proposal has as mch prospects as the proverbial snowball in hell. Sch a tax can't possibly pass withot the consent of the sbrban legislators, and their consent will not be forthcoming jst a few montlis before the primary and general elections. Defalt Still Looms n addition, woi^ came throgh last week from the Secretary of the Federal Department of Hosing and Urban Development that the Federal government will not garantee certain mortgages held by the State Hosing Finance Agency, nless the deal is sweetened. This means that that state agency is again faced with the spectre of defalt on its bonds, nless the Legislatre appropriates millions of dollars to keep the Agency afloat. n the meanwhile, very little progress has been made by the Legislatre on the program recommended by Governor Carey for reform of the state's jdicial system. Again there is conflict here between City legislators and legislators from other areas. Most pblic dissatisfaction with the performance of the jdicial system centers on the system in New York City. Many of the pstate legislators and their constitents are not prepared for a radical restrctring of the jdicial system jst to take care of the special problems in New York City.

Seniority n Layoffs A very recent case (Matter of Coleman-D'Ambrose), decided in Spreme Cort, New York Conty, offers gidance for the determination of seniority in a layoff sitation. t is described by Jstice Arnold Fein in his decision as "A case of first impression." o» PETTONER WAS an employee of the archives section of the New York Pblic Library. On Oct. 11, 1957, when the City of New York took over the archives section, he became a civil service employee. n 1975, the City determined that its financial plight necessitated a redction n staff in the archives section. The City set the section's employees in order of seniority, bt backdated seniority only to Oct. 11, Petitioner was dismissed. Petitioner then com-r menced an Article 78 proceeding contending that the City had misapplied Section 45 of the Civil Service Law and that he shold be retrned to his employment with back pay. > N TS DECSON, the Cort stated that civu service employees shold not be denied time towards seniority earned before the private nstittions employing them were taken over as government facilities. The Cort took note of the legislative history of Section 45 of the Civil Service Law and stated that this section was added to the law primarily to permit employees in a private instittion to remain in their employ and become civil servants, withot the necessity of taking civil service examinations. t was not the intent of the legislators to deny credit for time in service before a private instittion was taken over as a government facility. * ««THE COURT CONCLUDED herein that althogh an original appointment in the City of New York might be the date the archives section came nder the operation of the city, seniority for employees in the archives section mst be backdated to the day each employee was originally hired by the library. Any exercise by the city of demotions or sspensions or abolition of positions mst be predicated on thi.s measre of seniority. lljillllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllltllllllllllllltllltlllltlllllllllllllllllllllllin Qestions & Answers Q.

My bill, A2327-C, wold prohibit New York State from bying services or goods from any ot-of-state firm thiat practices Job discrimination based on race, creed, sex, color or national origin. Crrent law reqires nondificrlmdnatlon clases in contracts signed with New York State firms bt exempts ot-ofstate contractors. Were 2327-C already n effect and the Georgia contractor fond deficient n meeting New York's bnti-dlscrimlnatlon reqirements, the lottery ticket contract wold be cancelled and the firm rled ineligible for ftre bidding. Of corse, this bill's significance extends beyond the crrent lottery dispte. t wold prevent all similar ftre occrrences whether the contracts involved goods or services. At first glance. A2327-C may seem nconstittional since it appears New York will become directly nvolved with actions occrring n other states. Bt this s not the case. The law wold laffect only contracts, which are consensal agreements, made within New York. A firm can legally agree to abide by anti-discrlminatlon laws, to spply nfoomatlon at hearings within New York, and to on-site nspections. n contrast to A2327-C, proposed legislation to prohibit specifically the printing of lottery n New York City all my life h^ki and 've noticed a great difference since so many of the policemen have been laid off. live within walking distance from work, bt occasionally when do have to take a sbway am afraid. f have to go ot at night always take a taxi." tickets by ot-of-stiate firms may well be sbject to constittional challenge.». Jstice demands that pblic fnds to which members of all races contribte not be spent in any manner which encoiages discrimination. The sitation becomes even more nfair when an ot-of-state firm enjoys a competitive bidding edge over New York based competition becase the former does not have to abide by antl-dlscrimlnatdon standards, or becase he pays sbstandard wages. A nmber of otlier states. nclding New Jersey, Connectict, California and Michigan already have laws similar n ntent to A2327-C on the books. t s time that New York, historically a progressive state, had the same.

L PETERS The Mysterios The New York City Retirement Board manages a fnd of approximately $3.5 billion monies that will eventally be paid to pblic employees when they retire, or to their estates if they shold die before they retire. Each year the fnd pays ot approximately $500 million to abot 100,000 of the 557,000 members. The administration of this fnd is abot as closely held a secret as the work of the CA. Each month the Board meets, sally on the first Thrsday of the month. The meeting to which the pblic is invited lasts approximately for mintes land consists of a series of motions, dly made and seconded, to approve calendar items nmbers 1 to 11, 18 to 21, 133 to 142, etc. The blk of the work of the Board is done in exective session which may last two to three hors and to which admission is by invitation only. The total information released abot the meeting consists of a dalendar of seven pages of which the typical item is "P.1-11 R-1 47 service retirement allowances withot optional modification for adoption." n effect, the Board receives a billion dollars a year and disposes of half a billion dollars a yeiar with only an inkling of whys, wherefores, or qestions. Moreover, if the fnd is typical of other retirement fnds which do make information pblic, between 0.3 and 5 i>eroent of the persons entitled to fnds are never located. When this happens to a bank or insrance company. the names nder which sch nclaimed acconts are listed mst be pblished. For New York State employees, approximiately 2,500 are pblished each month in the New York State Blletin, the official New York State pblication. The Leader re-pblishes these and locates at least one claimant each month. For many months The Leader has been reqesting of the New York City Retirement Board access to the list of xmcllaimed acconts. The reqests have been made to the director of the fnd, to the information access officer, to the Board tself. The response has been niformly "no." At varios times the reason given has been "We don't have the staff to handle nqiries" and "We are concerned abot 'bonty (Contined from Page 6) With these and other problems that are simmering in the legislative sbsrface, the members may be lcky if they get ot by Jly 4. At least they can cont on a day off on that occasion to participate in the Bicentennial celebrations. There s an old cliche abot the Legislatre n Albany that Board hnters.' " n the meanwhile, nlike the nclaimed acconts of other nsnance companies and banks, the fnds from these nclaimed acconts redond to the fnd itself. The State reqires no acconting of them. The opix)rtnity for abse, error, delinqency, and even frad n sch a sitation, is evident. Here lies perhaps $5 million a year, nclaimed, nacconted-for, and avalhable at the discretion of the Board.. As far as The Leader can ascertain, the only effort at locating the proper owners of these acconts is the sending of a letter to the last-known address of the employee. n a period of mch movement, dealing with people who hiave retired, died, or sffered other major trama in their mode of living, the last-known address is a fantasy. n most cases, the Board is nine months to a year behind in making payments. Mail sent three months after an address has been changed s retrned to the sender. The Board is therefore placed in a position where, by its own negligence, it can accmlate hge sms of money properly de to retirees or their beneficiaries widowed or ophaned, nless these beneficiaries are sfficiently aggressive and knowledgeable to search ot and obtain fnds properly de to them. * * As a pblic service. The Leader contines to pblish the names of ndividals who are beneficiaries of nclaimed checks from the New York State Employees' Retirement System and the State Policemen's and Firemen's Fnd. The Leader or the New York State Employees' Retirement System in Albany may be contacted for information as to how to obtain the fnds. Following is a listing of those inditidals whose membership terminated prsant to the protisioas of seaion 40. paragraph 1 of the Retirement and Social Secrity Law on or before Agst (Contined from last week) Downing, Carl L New York Dnmore, Leroy A Brooklyn Dnston, Gertrde J Hawthorne Edsall, Clarence V Valley Cottage Ellis, Ralph N Jr Floral Park Ennis, Virginia Stony Brook Feaster, Blondell New York Fein, Carolyn New York Fergson, Oscar A Poghkeepsie Fergson, Vivian D...New Haven, Conn.

9 Eileen Salisbry. Albany Resion V "third vice-president, is shown in attentive mood. Albany Region V Acts To Protect Pay ncrements By MARVN BAXLEY ALBANY Amid rmors that longevity increments might be eliminated by the Legislatre, Civil Service Employees Assn. delegates at an Albany Region V meeting last month voted to initiated a contract grievance. Regional president Joseph Mc- Denmott said that he had been assred by CSEA's research experts that no one wold have their salary ct, even if sch a law were to be passed. Nevertheless, acting on a motion by John Fitzgerald, president of nsrance chapter 666, the delegiites voted to bring "a contractal or a non-contractal grievance in relation to elimination of the extended maximm increments, if necessary." Laboratories and Research chapter 665's Dorris Rabinowitz followed p the motion with a recommendation twat the Region bring the matter to the attention of the negotiating teams so that wording can be inclded in ftre contracts to protect the longevity increments. Political action was Another sbject of extended debate. t was pointed ot by Bernard >wyer, of Pblic Service chapter 675 and the departmental representative to the statewide Board of Directors, that political clot can sometimes be more effective in primaries than in the geneiial elections. He noted that some legislators rn \n districts that are overwhelmingly Democratic or Repblican. n those instances, he said, more impact cold be felt in the primaries. He sggested that the political action committee give thoght to the idea of spporting primary challengers when they rn against incm- Three of the conty chapters were represented by, from left, Edward Wilcox, president of Saratoga chapter 846; Grace Vallee, delegate for Rensselaer chapter 842, and E?ene Nicolella, CSEA director representing Schenectady chapter 847. bents with notorios lanti-civil service records. The qestion of regional atonomy in political action was also discssed. t was pointed ot that the regional political action committee sends its recommendations to the statewide commitee for approval. "This does not mean that the regional politidal action is limited to reporting p to the statewide political action," the regional president explained. Mr. McDermott then went on to say that regional members can spply aid throgh volnteer work, individal contribtions and local endorsements. He cited the recent case of a school district election, where the local CSEA nit worked sccessfluy for the election of a specific school bdard member. Discssion was also held on what seems to be a violation of contract by some departments in ndly restricting travel fnds for varios fnctions, inclding professional meetings attended by certain employees for the betterment of their jobs. Edcation chapter 657 president Nicholas Piscarelli explained that he had been informed that if a person attends a meeting as the official representative of a department, then there wold be approval of the travel fnds. Approval wold not be granted if the trip was nofficial or by personal initiative. The mlaitter remains to be clarified at the individal department level. vo -J a Commerce chapter 654 president George Olson was spirited participant in political action debate. At left is his wife, Helen. Among points made dring discssion was effectiveness of engaging in political action dring the primaries.

Masten Bark also has a detoxlfidaition nit and a halfway hose, a "transition" facility in which the client can live while he works or attends school and socializes in the commnity. Miasten Park offers one of the finest methadone programs bva-ilable, combining methadone maintenance with psychological and vocational coimsellng. Masten Park also has an after-care program which services several hndred "gradates" from the ntramital program as well as volnteers who are on parole or probation. The program offers spport and gidance which very often makes the difference whether the client can make a sccessfl and prodctive life for hifnself when back n the commnity. Masten Park's halfway hose s being sht do\m. ts methlaidone malnibenance program s being phased ot. The main ntramral faclty can no longer accept any volnteer patients. The after-care program, its least expensive, and probably most mportiant program, is being ct by two-thirds. The program will be ct from 580 to 300 clients. "The kids are being pt back on the street," said after-care conselor Anthony Marino, a narcotics parole officer. "The worst pert is that they're Jst not ready," contined Mr. Marino, who is also the Civil Service Employees Assn. grievance officer for the nion's Masten Park cmftpter. "t's all been happening so fast that the clients haven't been given tdme to digest what's going on. Two months from now don't even w&nt to pick p a newspaper, becase there'll be so many familiar names n t." There appears to be mch fear and confsion bmong both tihe clients and staff at Masten Park these days. Althogh ODAS OommdHioner Daniel Kle«)ak spoke reassringly n a recent nterview (Civil Service Leader, Jne 4) abot no one being "pt back on the streets," or left withot emotional spjxjrt, this does not appear to be the cftse, not only at Masten Park bt at every other ODAS facility. Althogh the dismantling of faclties and dismissal of clients in an alloted time period mig'ht appear satisfactory on paper lit the exective offices of ODAS, t is simply not the case. The staff, moreover, are receiving confsing and conflicting letters of termdnatlon. "One day get a notice of Job termination," said a distressed ODAS employee. "The next day hear that tfan stay on for six more months, or get temporary employment of sorts, and the day after that receive another notice saying that mst leave within the week." "s this what one gets for six, eight, and 10 years of state service? t's so ronic," said Mr. Marino. "Many people Wave given p higher-paying Jobs in the past for the 'secrity' of state employment. t's Jst ncredible this cold be happening." "t's hrting everyone here," said one 18-year-old resident, Bill D. "We're very close to the staff. We can talk to them. They're or friends and they nderstand s. Now they're taking them away. They're also bringing in new people from New York aty whose attitde towiard s may be completely different. t's making s all very nervos." "'was transferred to Masten Park when they closed roqois (another ODAS facility) last March becase of bdget cts," said Freddie S.^ a resident from Rochester. "'m very pset abot the ctbacks. want to be in after-care when leiave here. t's lm]?ortant to have someone to talk to who nderstands. We all feel f the program closes there'll be no one to trn to. What if need help ag^ln? Where wold go, and what abot the nexit, gy? t cold be my brother." Mike G., 19 years old. from a small town near Elmlra, which has a gigantic drg problem in ts schools, said, "'ve benefited greatly from the program here. can't say that 'm going to get ot and be totally rehabilitated. know that still have to go back ot and see f cfan really handle t. f can't and Masten Park s no longer available, where do go? Jail?" One specific ncident that took place last week at Masten Parte llstrates the kind of ch&os cased by the dismantling of the program. When word to phase ot the methadone program at Masten Park arrived, the clients were given the choice of contining methadone maintenance at one of two private clinics. One, Sisters' Hospital n Bffalo, Han into financial problems at that tdme. t gave its 150 methadone patients two days' notice that they wold no longer be able to contine their methadone spply. "Can yo magine telling a patient that?" tasked Mr. Marino. "Their lives are n balance!" The DART (Drg Abse Rehabilitation Treatment) Clinic is the only other private program available n the area. t is fnded by the state and provides conseling services. "The whole dea of Mlasten Park's methadone program," said Mr. Marino. "s to get the patient prepared for detoxification eventally. This can sometimes take years, for if a patient stops methadone maintenance before he's reiady, his craving for narcotics often retrns. He ends p back on the street with a drg habit all over again. Throgh the program we give him time to get his feet on the grond. We get him off the street and ot of the drg cycle so that he can do something with his life. "Most important we remove him from the drg environment. Many of these clients, for the first time n their lives, have Jobs^ families, friends and live a crime-free, normal existence. Taking their methladone once a day can be eqated to a diabetic taking a daily inslin njection. "Some of or clients have been on drgs for 20 years," contined Mr. Marino. "Yo don't cre them in six months." Ot of 100 methadone patients, only 20 chose to transfer bo DART; the other 80 chose to detoxify themselves, rather than transfer. Most of these clients lire considered not ready for sch a step. Many who attended the DART program had been approached with offers to by heroin and other illicit drgs by pshers. All felt that the environment pt them nto contact with the drg sbcltre that they were trying to escape. They cited DART's lack of proper secrity and complained of harassment, arrogiance and lack of nderstanding on the part of DART's staff. They frther complained of having to wait for long periods of time to see a doctor. f they were five mintes late, however, for their own appointments, they wold be denied methadone. The Masten Park clients also claimed that many DART clients were on doipe becase the methadone dosages given were excessively dilted land they were allowed to miss their dosage for two days or more withot penalty. n both cases the effects of heroin wold no longer be blocked becase enogh methadone had not been taken and a client cold get "high" on llegal narcotics. "The DART setp is designed for drg sage," said Masten Parker John P. "'m doing the best 've done since started»slng drgs. Since 've been in Alasten Park's methadone program 've gotten my high school eqivalency ddploma, 've finished college. have an excellent Job, and 've started a family. 'm not ready to get off methadone maintenance yet, bt never want to associate with members of that drg scene agiain. 've worked too hard to Ret away from t. 'll take my chances with detoxification rather than go to DART." Experts agree with the client's evalation. n his book "Licit and llicit Drgs" (The Consmers' Union Report), Edward M. Brecher points ot that "certain methadone programs, if not properly maintained, can be a breeding grond for contraband drgs." Mr. Brecher qotes Gerald E. Davidson of Harvard Medical School and director of Boston's Chestnt Hill Clinic, which hns a large methadone maintenance program: "Addicts, like other patients, freqently know what is good for them. They freqently know better thian doctors and otherwise helpfl, well-intentioned people..." Ml-. Brecher notes many methadone patients "are very fearfl of being caght p n the drg scene once again throgh associating with certain clinic members after having spent years trying to get away from sch an environment." ODAS Depty CkMnmlssioners Jesse Arnette and Emil Drysdbde investigated the Masten Park sitation. The reslt of this nvestigation, in Commissioner Drysdale's own words, was: "We have reviewed DART and it meets both state and federal standards concerning the treatment and conseling reqiremerits. am convinced that there s no evidence that the staff here s trying to 'badmoth' the private programs, bt emphasize the qestion of the client resisting change. "The psychology of these clients has shortcomings to begin with. They feel secre here. We say we're going to send yo ot, and there s the whole sense of the nfamiliar. Here they have friends that they can relate to. They're Wraid of the type of people that they might enconter at DART. Street people know what kind of hassles other street people can pt them throgh, so they're scared." The nvestigation of DART lasted for 25 mintes. When visited DART the following morning and spoke with DART assistant director, Charles Jones, he denied all allegations miade by the Masten Park patients. My interview with an available conselor was closely monitored by Mr. Jones. Between the time of my visit to Masten Park and the pblication of this article, the transfer of methadone maintenance clients to DART has been temporarily modified. The administration will now not se this plan ntil the transfer qestion has been discssed with every patient and objections aired.

For Some, t Was Too Mth Bill Stewart (all names are fictitios; the incidents described, however, have happened) was a resident at Rldgehill, an ODAS facility that was sht down last fall. Bill retrned home to live with his family in an pstate sbrb and contined treatment in a local ODAS after-ciare program. He saw a conselor once a week, and managed to bild a sond relationship with her. He seemed to be making progress toward prodctive goals. Last week, Bill's conselor informed him that, de to bdgetary ctbacks, she had lost her job and wold be laid off within two weeks. On the following day Bill took his life by leaping from a bridge. Bill Stewart was 24 years old. Reynolds Majors was a narcotics charge correction officer at Rldgehill. When the ODAS facility was closed becase of ctbacks, Mr. Majors was transferred to Brooklyn Central Rehabilitation facility. The staff morale at Brooklyn Central has been extremely low for the last cople of months becase of ODAS job layoffs. On May 12, Mr. Majors received a notice that his job wold be terminated Jne 6. On May 15, Mr. Majors pt a gn to his head and killed himself. He leaves a wife and three children. Charlie Tanner had been a volntary patient at Masten Park Rehabilitation Center, Bffalo, for two years. "We raised him here," said a staff member. "His mother didn't want him and he seemed to be 'working things ot.'" Last week, Charlie was told that, de to bdget cts, Masten Park wold no longer be able to keep volntary patients. Several days later, Charlie wandered in to Brooklyn Central Rehabilitation Center "very strng ot on something," according to a staffer there. "They don't want me anymore," said Charlie.

16 vo s; -a S ec Cfi Colmbia Legislatre's Tricky Footwori( rks CSEAers, Media HUDSON The Colmbia Conty Legislatre, sorces said here, appeared to rritate both pblic employees and the local news media by its actions when ssing a contract to be imposed on all Colmbia Conty Civil Service Employee Assn. members. Daniel Campbell, CSEA Albany Region V pblic relations associate, described events: "First, after CSEA members packed the large pblic hearing room of the Colmbia Conty Corthose, those good elected officials informed these conty residents that they were meeting n tihe mch smaller Boiard of Soxpervlsors chamber. "Nearly 150 CSEA members, conty taxpayers, then sqeezed nto this room and, most likely, broke the fire department's rles for maximm permissible occpancy of that area. That's what the Legislatre seemed to want since they were too important to come to their conty residents who happen to be conty employees. Ttien they proceeded to piass a very detailed piece of legislative work that nclded two paragraphs of detailed changes." After that, Mr. Campbell said, "They addressed the sse that had brog^ht concerned coimty residents, a contract they de- crlbed, 'n the good nterest of the pblic and pblic employees of Colmbia Conty.' "That wias the only information concerning the contract that was mentioned in the resoltion. These gentlemen did not even have the decency to explain the cireas that this contract wold effect, "And then, qicker than believable, the spervisors adjorned, leaving many of the taxpayers present with their qestions vmasked land nanswered becase this w is a pblic hearing, a special meeting at which only residents who were not pblic employees cold ask qestions. Mr. Campbell called the legislatre's acts "inslting." "The 150 conty residents who attended this exjample of official bad manners then joined with another large grop of Colinbia Conty CSEA members in Statvllle and foxmd ot what their elected officials claimed they cold not legally inclde or present in that resoltion. "The Board of Spervisors who have approved non-nionized personnel raises ranging from 7 percent to 74 percent hiad imposed a wage freeze on conty nionized employees. They had crtailed smmer hors by not extending work hors bt by introdcing staggered shifts and, in one area of the imposed docment, have inclded a clase that, if allowed, wold limit CSEA ability to service its Colmbia Conty membership by reqiring the lilon to get department head approvial before CSEA cold meet with members who might be filing a grievance against that very department head." Following the direction of a previosly held membership meeting, which athorized the negotiating committee to take BULLETN At Leader press time, the State Pblic Employment Relations Board had schedled a meeting for Friday evening, Jne 4, between Colmbia Conty negotiators and negotiators for the Civil Service Employees Assn.'s Colmbia Conty nit, in hopes of averting a walkot by conty employees set for Tesday, Jne 8. The employees, represented by CSEA, have voted to strike if they have no contract by then. whatever action necessary, inclding a strike, tx) giain a fair and eqitable settlement, CSEA informed the press and the conty that it will strike Colmbia nless an acceptable negotiiitsd agreement is presented for ratification at or before that date. "We will meet and either ratify an agreement or assign strike site leaders, introdce consel and provide or membership with all necessary infonnation to achieve a sccessfl job action." Nels Carlson. CSEA negotiator added in conclsion. Local media representatives informed CSEA that they wold take conty officials to task over the treatment they received at the hands of the spervisors at this meeting. CSEA has reqested that the Pblic Employment Relations Board immediately enter the sitation and attempt throgh sper conciliation to reach a pact. Set Deadline For Pact Proposals ALBANY Dorothy Rabin, chairman of the Civil Service Employees Assn.'s platform committee, has reqested all state Division chapter presidents to sbmit sggestions for amending crrent provisions of the 1& CSEA-State collective bargaining agreements to her committee by Jly 20. n a letter mailed recently to state division chapter presidents, Probation Committee Meets With Albany ALBANY The Civil Service Employees Assn.'s statewide probation committee convened in Albany last month to discss problems encontered by probation officers and p>ending legislation that wold affect these employees. The grop met with Theodore C. Wenzl, president of CSEA, and two high-ranking state probation officials, then the state probation located here in the State Plaza. Ms. Rabin wrote, "Each of oi* negotiating teiams will have the right to reopen negotiations n order to amend the contining provisions of the collective agreements. Each Unit team Administrative Services, Professional, Scientific and Technical Services, nstittional Services and Operational Services ^will be limited to present, for the reopening negotiations, Bigs two articles in the collective agreements." The Jly 20 deadline has been set in observance of CSEA's constittion and by-laws. However, Ms. Rabin sggested that demands on reopened negotiations for the final year of the crrent two-year agreement be sbmitter as early as Jne 16, the proposed date of the next meeting of the platform committee. Stiate Division c'^apter presidents shold forward these demands to PO Box 7030, Capital Annex Station, Albany, N.
