Wenz/ Asks End Of Firings; Reqests Meet Vfith Carey ALBANY The Civil Service Employees Assn. has demanded an immediate moratorim on any frther implementation of layoffs of state workers, pending a bilateral review of the entire layoff sitation. CSEA president Theodore C. Wenzl issed that demand in a letter to Gov. Hgh L. Carey last week. He also reqested an immediate high-level meeting between himself and the Oovemor and asked for the state to provide a complete list of all private sector conslting firms now retained nder oontraot by the Carey Administration'. The nion leader revealed his letter In an hor-long news conference last week at CSEA Heclqarters here. Dr. Wenzl called the Carey Administration "a reign of terror" relative to the wholesale layoff of hndreds of state employees and charged that sch layoffs were nwarranted and mst be stopped. Jdhn M. Carey, OSIElA's assistant exective director-state, and William L. Blom, director of research for CBiEIA, paitticipated in the lengthy news conference and discssed a wide variety of problems and Ineqities ncovered by the nion dring the crrent state layoff program. Following is the complete text of Mr. Wenzl's remarks to the press relative to layoffs: "The present prge of pblic employees being carried ot by the Carey Adndnistratkm and the State of New York is one of. If not the worst, example of abse of managerial athority I have ever witnessed In my many years as a stanch ndon aotivtet. "Using the careers of the pblic servants as a weapon In the otherwise internal strgg-le between the Exective and Legislative Branches of the Stat;e Government is so abhorrent to my personal sense of J\istlce and fair play that I find It difficlt to believe and Impossible to nderstand how ai^ne cold employ sch a despicable tactic. Ford-Rocky Ticket Gears Up, As Dems Look Over Field PRESIDENTIAL politics moved into middle speed last week in New York, when both the Repblicans and the Democrats held major fndraising dinners on the same night. The Repblican feast was graced by Vice President Nelson A. Rockefeller. The Democratic (Contined on Pace ) "If the Governor thoght that this nion wold stand Idly by, with passive indifference, while he swng Ihls bloody axie, then the Governor was wrong! A wave of fear, appr^ension and helplessness is sweeping thie ranks of state workers becaiise of the Governor's callos se of layoffs as a pressre tactic on the State (Contined on Page 11) DENY PACT DECISION REACHED; N.Y. TIMES STORY IS ATTACKED ALBANY The Civil Service Employees Assn. reacted bitterly last week to a pblished report that a joint legislative committee had reached agreement on a recommended settlement In the crrent CSEA-State contract dispte. A CSEA spokesman called the newspaper accont "totally erroneos," and said the nion has concrete evidence to dispxite the accracy of the report. OSEA president Theodore C. Wenzl flatly stated, "'The joint legislative committee is still in deliberation and has reached no conclsions, not even a tentative one, as of today. OSEA has been in direct contact with the chief staff aides of the fiscal committees of both hoses of the Legislatre, and they all told s deliberations are contining and are expected to contine into early next week; no tentative conclsions have yet been reached. Nothing, they agreed, has even been pt into written, draft form. The pbll;died report, in The New York Times, "raises a qestion as to the credibility of one of America's most prestigios newspapers," Dr. Wtenzl saidt, noting that pblloation of the report "created a wave of widespread otrage and disbelief among or membership across the state." The nion headqarters switchboard in Albany was swamped by calls of protest, the nion leader said. Additional spport for CSiEA's postre on the report, Mr. Wenzl said, came from legislative committee co-chairman Assemblyman Stephen R. Goreco, who stated on an Albany newscast for a local radio station last week that no agreement had been reached on a recommendation. CSEA Legislative Program ALBANY A nmber of bills of interest to members of the Civil Service Employees Assn. will be introdced in this year's session of the Legislatre. CSEA attorneys and lobbyists have been working with varios legislators, placing finishing toches on the wording of the varios bills to make them acceptable to the state senators and assemblymen who have agreed to act as sponsors in the two hoses of the Legislatre. This sponsorship of bills is a rotine operation in the Legislatre and, as part of the legal process, lobbyists representing special interests sch as those of the Civil Service Employees Assn. are registered and recognized as a valable spportive force in the process. While the bills given below represent the blk of those pertaining to CSEA members in this session, CSEA is also expected to take positions on other bills affecting state and local government employees as soon as the nion's Legislatre-watchers become aware of them. In addition, there are other pieces of legislation on which CSEA lobbyists are stlu working ot appropriate (Continned on Page 14) "and in fact that the fll legislative committee has not yet met to begin deliberation to arrive at a final recommendation on the matter." Dr. Wenzl termed the "erroneosly reported" recommendation of 3.5 percent as "absrd and otrageos." He said sch a figre "wold be absoltely nacceptable to or members.

3 6v4% Boost, Variety Of Fringes, Contained In Livingston's Pact GfeNESEO A new two-year contract providing a BVi percent wage increase in the first year and a hike in fringe benefits has been approved by members of the Livingston Conty chapter, Civil Service Employees Assn. "We're happy, and we think it's a fair contract for both sides as well as for the taxpayers," said James Mrmy, chapter president. The pact incldes a wage reopener in Mr. Mrray pointed ot that the evi percent wage Increase, amonting to atoot 26 cents an hor in Step 3, is eqal to 7 percent on the base wage. It affects more than 300 CSEA members. The lagreement was reached with the help of a state Pblic Employment Relations Board fact-finder five months after the previos contract expired. Other benefits inclde a mileage rate increase from 12 to 14 cents a mile, retroactive to Jan. 1. with a reopener for 1976; three additional days of vacation, for a totial of for weeks and three days, for employees with 25 years or more of service and a $2 co-payment prescription drg rider, effective Jne 1.

Negotiations, which began last fall, reached an impasse after the forth mediation session. CSEA and the Board of Spervisors' negotiating committee had reached a tentative agreement, bt the fu Board refsed to accept the recommendation. The negotiating team consisted of Mr. Mrnay, William Proctor, William Brooks, Mary J>ane Maggio, Lois Damon, and William Learn. They were assisted by Gary Johnson, CSEA collective bargaining specialist. INSURANCE COMMITTEE Flton Resoltion Denying Raises Attacked By CSEA JOHNSTOWN The Civil Service Employees Assn. has termed a resoltion adopted by the Flton CJonty Board of Spervisors "a mockery of the concept of collective bargaining" and is demanding that the Board's decision be canceled. The resoltion passed at a recent meeting of the Board wold prohibit any new salary increases for conty workers in 1975 and CSEA represents most employees of the conty land feels that any bilateral action by the conty that wold limit pcoming contract talks Is tantamont to "bad faith negotiations." William Sohl, president of the Plton Conty CSEA chapter, in a letter to the Board of Spervisors, has asked the Board to rescind the resoltion, "in view of Its adverae effect on conty employees and on the negotiations thiat are to talce place between the conty and CSEA this fall." In the letter, Mr. Sohl said, "The Plton Conty chapter of CSEA wold like to contine Its amicable relationship with the Board... (tot) we wold like its members to know that we will not be intimidated by its recent actions. "We therefore feel that if the resoltion in qestion is not rescinded at the next reglarly schedled meeting, we have no choice bt to file an improper practice charge imder Section 209-Al of Civil Service Law with the Pblic Employment Relations Board." Althogh the resoltion wtas passed, eight spervisors opposed it, pointing ot the "bad faith" possibilities inherent im the policy change it represents. 'Salary raises have always been and (always will be an integral part of any bargaining talics on employee work agreements," said CSEA field representative Aaron Wagner.

The members, from left, are Pal Satz, Patricia Crandall, Carl Behr Jr. and chairman Ernest G. Dmond. corse we recognize the cost of living is contining to skyrocket and that times are togh all the more reason for wanting Plton Conty employees to keep p with the rising prices and keep their heads above water. Bt the important point now is not the need for a raise, bt the fact that employees shold always have the right to bargain for one. "How can two parties enter negotiations in good faith when one of those parties has already decided for itself some of ttie grond rles?" One-Year Chenango Pact Has 7.5% Hike NORWICH A one-year contract between the Civil Service Employees Assn. and the Conty of Chenango has provided a percent wage increase for this year for approximately 250 employees. ^ ^ ^^ ^., ^ Fringe benefits added inclde a mileage increiase of from 10 to 15 cents per mile; the addition of death benefits to three times an employee's annal salary to $30,000 maxim\n; an increase in the conty's share of health insrance from 3i5 to 50 percent, pls added provisions to have the conty pay the complete cost of retiree health insrance and 35 percent of retiree dependent benefits. New in the contitact is a provision for npaid edcation leave for 12 months for permanent personnel with a least one year's service. Two half-holidays were added Christmas Eve and New Year's Eve bringing the total holidays to 12. The maximm accmlation) of sick leave was increased from 120 to 132 d&ys and peracmal leave days were increased from three to for. New vacation periods were established hi the contract. They are 10 days a ^ one year (was five clays with 10 days after two years): ift clayb after five years (WM after seven years), aitd 20 ilays after 15 yean (was one addlttooal day more ttm 15 after le throgib 20 yaaia MTVIM UP to a marimm of ao <layi). Improper Act Charge Laid To Tompkins ITHACA The Civil Service Employees Assn. has charged Tompkins Conty with an improper labor im'actice and bad faith bargialning becase of an alleged failre to inclde a negotiated item In the final contract langage of work agreement for ooimty employees. OSEA field representative Jack Miller said thlait the nion has filed formal charges with the State Pblic Relations Board, stating that comity representatives and members of the CSEA bargaining team negotiated a provision oanoemlng hiring rates for ooimty employee and that the conty "deliberately left the item ot of the final contract." The CSEA representtative said that this Is the second dispte between CSEA and Tompldns Conty in which legal charges were broght. The first involved on-call salary rates for conty Social Services employees. Mr. Miller said that this case is still pending in the Spreme Cort. The present case now with PERB mst be reviewed by that board which will then schedle hearings.

N«w Yori Sbpoenas Needed To Force Ptnam Board To PERB Meet CARMEL The Ptnam Conty Board of Spervisors had to be sbpoenaed to attend the April 29 hearings with the Civil Service Employees Assn. before the Pblic Employment Relations Board in New York City. The sbpoenas were served becase the assistant conty attorney said he cold not garantee the presence of the spervisors. The spervisors claimed at the hearings that the sbpoenas had been served illegally becase they had not been given a travel fee. However, it was learned they refsed fees when the process server offered them. Spervisor Donald Smith said he was served illegally becaiise he had not been given the sbpoena 24 hox:^ prior to the hearing. However, CSEA Region 3 laittomey Arthr Grae pointed ot that Mr. Smith had avoided the process server on at least two occasions. "This shows not only the thinking of the board, bt also the lies or elected officials are capable of telling," said Roger Kane, CSEA collective bargaining specialist for the Ptnam CSEA chapter. The reglar meeting of the board was cancelled earlier this month, apparently as a reslt of the presence of an informational picket line thrown p aroxmd the conty corthose, the place of the meeting, by chapter members. Mr. Grae asked that all witnesses be. exclded from the hearing room ntil reqired to testify in order to show how widely the se>ervisors' testimony varied. Their testimony showed that at least one spervisor was HIMEOS ADDRESSERS. STENOTYPES STENOGRAPH for sale and reat. 1,000 ethers.

CHelsea lat a formal hearing when a memorandm of agreement on the CSEA contract was allegedly nanimosly rejected, and that at least one was in exective session. Another spervisor said the contract was never voted on, bt merely discssed over limch. The Ptnam Conty chapter has filed an improper practice charge with PERB agtalnst the spervisors for trning down a new contract after two of the spervisors had signed the memorandin of agreement. At the April 29 hearing, one spervisor said the agreement was imanlmosly rejected, another said there had never been a vote on the contract, and a third said he hiad never seen the agreement. "The board has asked s to go back to negotiations, bt yo can see what we'd be p against," Mr. Kane said. "Even if we agreed to renegotiate and had all six spervisors present, we coldn't be sre they wotild know where they were or for what reason they were there." On Jne 10, the CSEA negotiating teiam, with Mr. Kane, met with the board. "The meeting degenerated into a shoting match," Mr. Kane said. "Apparently the board doesn't like to see the trth being printed abot them." The spervisors admitted at the Jne 10 meeting that they had never voted on the. CSEA contnact. Originally, they told the nion they had nanimosly rejected the contract. Bt the latest meeting revealed that Spervisor Thomas Bergln made the motion to vote on the contract, bt the motion failed for lack of a second. JVeiv York's Sheraton Mo cares for yor atmfwt.

The seminar was held at Westchester chapter headqarters. Westchester Holds A Seminar On CETA WHITE PLAINS A seminar on implementation of the Federal Comprehensive Employment and Training Act (CETA) was recently held at Civil Service Employees Assn. Westchester Conty chapter headqarters. Chairing the seminar were Donald Webster, Motmt Vernon nit president, and Raymond Cassidy, chapter president. The seminar considered some abses created by the CETA program when not properly administered. Ble Cross and Ble Shield Plans of Now York State Eqal Opftortnitr empl^gbn, -Mm Mr. Cassidy pointed ot, "The original intent of CETA was that the government wold allocate federal fnds to provide temporary pblic service jobs for the nemployed who met specific qalifications." However, Mr. Webster added. Mont Vernon is eroding the Civil Service process by filling jobs that shold be set aside for reglar city employees." The discovery of 41 violations of CETA gidelines in Westchester, which lanched the seminar, came as a reslt of a threemonth investigation by Mr. Webster into the CETA program as it was administered in the City of Mont Vernon. Some of the major violations discssed inclded the hiring of people not eligible for the program, permitting employees hired as tempyoraries nder the program to receive benefits, while temporaries on the mnicipal payroll received none, placing the program's employees in positions that shold be filled throgh reglar civil service procedres, and sbstitting federal fnds for reglar mnicipal fnds and normally bgeted items. One example cited by Mr. Webster, "which illstrates class discrimination on the part of the implementation of the program, is the elimination of qalified civil service employees waiting appointments from lists who are eligible for CETA fnds. "No effort whatsoever had been m<ade to pblicize the existence of pblic service jobs for eligible veterans, contrary to the intent of the program."

TUESDAY, JUNE 17, 1975 The Race Is On FOUR candidates seeking the presidency of the Civil Service Employees Assn. mst seem neventfl to the members of New York City's Uniformed Firefighters Assn., which has eight presidential aspirants. Large fields are freqent when there is no incmbent, bt in both these cases, the crrent office holder is being challenged. There is no qestion that mlti-candidate fields in these two nion elections frther mirror the frstration felt by voters de to the inability of government at all levels to reverse the trend toward higher prices and greater nemployment... the doble whammy of simltaneos inflation and depression. Withot defending or attacking any of the candidates, we mst sympathisse with the plight of the principal contenders who have devoted years to developing the experience and know-how to be considered for the top office, only to fall victim to the general discontent of the times. At the same time, we congratlate those candidates who, by their sensitivity to voter sentiment, have managed to propel themselves into the center of both races. Once the decisions are annonced, however, it will be important for the winners and the losers and their spporters to immediately close ranks to work for their organizations. If they fail to re-form in nity, they will be easy prey for management, and the membership will s«on be venting their frstrations again. G Pond-Foolish RASS-R(X)TS efforts to conter the foolhardy slashing of fnds for the State Department of Labor are cropping p arond the state. The ctback of federal fnds has reslted In an annoncement by Governor Carey that 500 Labor workers will be laid off. The irony, of corse, is that while nemployment contines to rise in this state, there wold be fewer departmental employees to deal with the sitation. Frther irony, if any were needed, is that the formla by which fnds are dispersed is based on the performance factor of the varios states in aiding the nemployed. Conseqently, in New York State, where nemployment makes job placement especially difficlt, less money is provided nder the federal program. William DeMartino, president of the Civil Service Employees Assn. chapter for Metropolitan Division of Employment employees, stated last week that the nemployed of New York "look to s for assistance in finding jobs and we will not be able to effectively help them If or work force is drastically ct. The action is certainly penny-wise and pond-foolish." He also noted that performance standards formlas sed by the U.S. Department of Labor, and which serve as the basis on which appropriations are made, are biased against New York State becase of its high operating costs, innercity problems, a hard-core nemployable poplation, office leasing problems and others. It Is to be hoped that the New York State delegation to Congress can be moved to secre more fnds for the Manpower Services Division. As it is, belief Is stretched to the breaking point when Unemployment workers are added to the lengthening list of nemployeds. (Contined from Paffe 1) festival was an occasion, for ptting on display sch significant contenders for the Presidential nominiaition as Senator Henry Jackson, Senator Edmnd Mskie and Senator Lloyd Bentsen of Texas. ' What clearly emerged from those dinners Is the fact that the Repblican ticket of President Ford and Rockefeller Is rapidly gearing p for the race. There was no disposition among the Repblican gests to make any change In what miainy among them regard as an nbeatable, winning ticket. The call by Senator James L. Bckley for an "open convention" was not taken seriosly by the professionals who rn the Repblican Party in the state. Densocratlc Field iln contrast, the Democrats seem to be. trobled by tmcertjalnties. The principal problem is the assmption by many that Senator Edward M. Kennedy is likely to accepi a draft nomination, if no one emerges with significant delegate strength at the Democratic convention. This prospect remains in the forefront of Democratic thinking in spite of Kennedy's repeated prononcements that he will not rn. What adds spice to this speclation is the fact thiat the Senator's term expires next year, amd he has been raising fnds for that campaign. It wold take no effort to divert those fimds to a Presidential campaign. The other problem trobling the Democrats is their concern with Governor Wallace. Clearly, the Governor has strong, dedicated gnass-roots spport, which can be converted into powerfl delegate strength to the extent that Wallace will be competl^ng against a fair nmber of prportedly liberal contenders in varios state primariefi. This factor may appear to give to him more sbstantial spport among the voters than he actally enjoys. What may have been the most significant development at the Democratic dinner was the emergence of Gov. Hgh Carey as a prospective candidate on the national ticket. It is clear that some of the Democratic hopefls were here to take another look at the Governor either as a potential competitor or as a prospective rnning mate. Interest In Carey By and large, Democrats throghot the nation are becoming increasingly interested In Carey's performance. So far his administration has been beset with one crisis -after another: the bankrptcy that confronted the Urban Development Corporation; the showdown with the doctors over medical malpractice insrance; the fiscal problems that broght New York City to brink of defalt. Governor Carey met all of those problems deftly and skillflly. Many politicians also believe that we have reached a point at which United States Semaitors will no longer dominate Presidential politics. Their thesis Is that Senators were important nationally becase the dominant problems revolved abot or international relations. As they see it, with detente nder way with the Soviet Union, the major isses in the next several years will be domestic: imemployment, the energy crisis, inflation and (Contined on Pafe 10) JAM' H M m R Ml if' 'Ap AP*- MA* JUNCI HI NOlf ti Civil Service Law & Yo y RICHARD GABA Mr. Gaba is a member of the firm of White, Walsh and Gaba, P.C., and chairman of the Nassa Conty Bar Association Labor Law Committee. Defining Probationary Perifnls The Cort of Appeals of the State of New York recently decided a case involving the interpretation of the meaning of a probationary period nder the Rles and Reglations of the Civil Service Commission of Sffolk Conty. On Jan. 4, 1971, petitioner in this case commenced his employment as an Investigator to the Department of Social Services of Sffolk (Donty. The petitioner was appointed from a competitive civil service list. Shortly thereafter, the petitioner received a letter, dated Jan. 18, 1971, from the Director of Administrative Services of the Conty's Department of Social Services stating that the petitioner had been appointed sbject to a probationary term of 26 weeks. On Feb. 25, 1971 an "Eight-Week Evalation" report of the petitioner's performance was written. The report recommended that the petitioner's probationary period be extended beyond eight weeks. * * * THE REPORT WAS written by a special investigator and sbmitted to the Department's Personnel Director. The petitioner was not told that sch a report had been sbmitted. On May 7, 1971, the petitioner's services were terminated. The reason given for the termination was that the petitioner had failed to complete his probationary period sccessflly. The petitioner's discharge came at the end of his 16th week of service. Rle XVII of the Sffolk Conty CivU Service Rles reqire that every permanent appointment made from an open competitive list be made sbject to a probationary period of not less than eight nor more than 26 weeks. The rle also states that an appointment shall become permanent pon the completion of the minimm probationary period nless prior to the completion of this period the probationer receives written notice that the probationary period is being extended. If the probationer receives sch notice, his appointment becomes permanent pon completion of the maximm probationary period. THE PETITIONER ARGUED that Rle XVII reqires that there mst be both a minimm and maximm i)eriod for a probationary appointment, and that the appointing athority may not disregard the eight-week maximm and grant merely a single probationary appointment for maximm period. Petitioner contended, therefore, that his IMX)- batlonary term was eight weeks sbject to being extended to 26 weeks pon receiving notice of the extension as reqired by the rle. Becase he did not receive notice that his probationary term was being extended beyond the eightweek minimm, the petitioner conclded, and the cort agreed, that he became a permanent employee at the end of his eighth week of service. Respondents arged that the Civil Service Rle confers on them discretionary power to specify the length of the probationary period so long as It is not less than eight weeks nor more than 26 weeks. THE COURT POINTED ot that if it interpreted the rle to permit a single probationary period for 26 weeks, then the minimm period of eight weeks wold be meaningless. The cort said, "Sch a constrction, reslting In the nllification of one part of the rle by another, is not per- (Contined on Pace It)

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR Open Letter (Editor's note: The following letter was directed to the 12 state legislators who form a special committee to decide on the amont of a wage increase for state workers. A fact-finding panel recommended an increase of 6 percent; however, this was rejected by Gov. Hgh L. Carey, ths placing the isse before the legislatre. The committee incldes the following senators: John Marchi (R-Staten Island), chairman of the Senate finance committee; Norman Levy (R- Rockville Center), chairman of the labor committee; l^ulam T. Smith (R-Big Flats), chairman 38!!^ rabbit. of the social services committee; Bernard C. Smith (R-Northport), chairman of the conservation and recreation committee; A. Frederick Meyerson (D-Brooklyn), and John Perry (D-Rochester). Assemblymen on the committee are: Stephen R. Oreco (D-Bffalo), chairman oif the governmental employees committee; Arthr Eve (D-Bffalo), a past member of previos impasse committees; Anthony DiFalco (D-Manhattan), chairman of the cities committee; Thomas J. Clhane (D-The Bronx); Willis Stephens (R-Brewster), and Lloyd S. Riford (R-Abrn).) We are writing with reference to the wtifire package with the Civil Service Employees Assn. on which yo mst soon vote. Since yo are, or will be. thoroghly familiar with the monetary argments on both sides, we wold like offer an appraisal from another angle. In New York State, pblic employees are forbidden to strike becase of the Taylor Law. When negotiations break down, provisions of that law send the dispte to the Pblic Employment Relations Board (exective appointed) for fact finding and recommendations. If either side rejects those recommendatiom, yo in the legislatre are left with the hot potato, as has now happened. However, we feel affirmative action on the PERB recommendations is imperative if lalbor relations with pblic employee nions is to have fmy stability. Let s explain. If, when a spposedly impartial board (which, if It has bias, certainly wold not tilt in the imion direction bt toward the sorce of its appointive existence) makes reconnendations which the nion accepts and the Governor rejects the legislatre sides with the Governor or moves in his direction, then the Taylor Law becomes an incredibly stacked deck. Conseqently, we see little hope that &ny pblic employee imion wold honor It in the ftre. What incentive wold there be for the government to bargain in good faith? Why shold the nion not strike? Present economic and J6b sitations make a strike this year extremely remote. Next year may be a different story. Nobody likes strikes nobody gains by them. They are acts of desperation, taken in many instances by imlons who feel they htive nothing to lose. We sggest that the legislatre's acceptance of PERB's recommendations wold set a good precedence and establish a psychological climate of Jstice. Other action cold, and, in or opinion, wold create that sense of hopelessness, injstice, and desperation so inimical to any hman regions. We sincerely hope yo will consider the above in making yor decision. SblrleyKreisberg Robert Anthony Creedmoor Chapter, CSEA H e (K» a L Good news ot last! Volkswagen happily presents the Rabbit.

Urge Sothern Region Members To Contact State Legislators By HERB GELLER NEWBURGH The action is going tx) be in the State Legislatre in regard to Governor Carey's rejection of a fact-finders recommendation for a 6 percent raise for state employees, and now is the time for CSEA members to let their legislators know how mch they need and deserve this raise, Sothern Region III members were told at a recent meeting of the Region's exective board. Members of the Civil Service Employees Assn. were rged to write individal letters or to send telegrams to their State Senators and Assemblymen asking them to restore the 6 percent Increase that Governor Carey wants to eliminate. The Governor's rejection of the fact-finders' recommendation means that the Legislatre, nder the Taylor Law, will make the final decision on the wage increase, CSEA assistant exective director Jack Carey informed the delegates. Sothern Region president James J. Lennon asked the members not to send form letters or petitions. For those who have troble writing, two or three CSEA members can get together to draft a letter. Night telegrams are also very effective. Legislators often get the telegrams delivered while the State Senate or the Assembly is in session, and they will open it p themselves and read it. "Form letters and petitions go in the circlar file," Mr. Lennon said. Irving Flamenbam, president of CSEA's Long Island Region, said this a time of decision for CSEA and all pblic employees. He advised the nion to fight back in every way it can becase "Governor Carey thinks we are soft and he is trying to kill s." Mr. Flamenbam advised that CSEIA mobilize its friends and spporters to make a major attack to change the State's Taylor Law which governs bargaining between government and pblic employees. The Taylor Law "stacks the cards against pblic employees In every way possible," he said. The Long Island regional president also accsed Governor Carey of making a deal to destroy CSEA and have its place taken by a coalition of five other nions which he believes the Governor favors as bargaining agents for pblic employees. "We've had other governors whom we have foght with, bt we never had the trobles that we have with Carey," Mi'. Flamenbam said. Sothern Region president Lennon said it was his belief that CSEA shold not have remained ;ietral in the election for governor last year. "It was a mistake not to endorse someone," he said. Mr. Lennon also hit hard at Governor Carey's proposal to give a $250 across-the-board increase for pblic employees Instead of the 6 percent recommended by the fact-finders. "The Governor said it Is really a 31/2 percent increase. It's 31/2 percent if yo are making $7,000 a year, bt not if yo are making more than that," he said. Jack Carey otlined the entire fact-finding report which was prepared by a three-man panel after the State and CSEA failed to reach agreement on a new contract for pblic employees. The governor accepted the factfinders proposal for an agency shop with some modifications and accepted nchanged recommendations on health insrance and disciplinary procedres. Robert Stock, a member of the East Hdson Parkway Athority chapter, said he was opposed to certain parts of the factfinders' report, particlarly to one section that delayed increments for pblic employees for abot three months. Mr. Stock moved that the Sothern Region go on record as being opposed to the fact-finders' report. Martin Langer, president of the Rockland Psychiatric Center chapter, made a motion to table Mr. Stock's resoltion and this was approved by the members. Mr. Langer said that members of the Legislatre who are going to rle on the salary proposail wold look at rejection of the report as an act of arrogance by CSEA. He also noted that it wold be wrong for those who attended this exective board meeting to oppose the decision determined by the statewide vote. Regional president Lennon favored Mr. Langer's motion and pointed ot that the fact-finders' report needed carefl stdy and evalation by all the members. Mr. Lennon also pointed ot that the isse of salary increases for state employees affects conty and local employees and anyone else who works for government. "Don't yo think these conty exectives aren't watching very closely to see if Governor Carey is going to get away with giving s less money, and If he does this year or next, they are all going to copy him," Mr. Lennon said. An example of conty nity was shown at the meeting when Carol Dbovlck, Orange Conty chapter president, pledged help to Rockland Conty chapters and nits In their problems over contract negotiations. In other action, president Lennon also noted that some pblic employees are eligible for food stamps. "Food stamps are not charity or welfare, bt go to people with large families and small incomes," Mr. Lennon said. He pledged that the Sothern Region will prepare Information on how to qalify to receive food stamps.

(From Leader Correspondent) A measre that can have wide-ranging impact on all citizens doing bsiness with governmental agencies has received practically no pblicity as it worked its way throgh the Legislatre this year. It is also bond to affect the working habits of nmbers of state employees in varios hearing examiner and similar titles in agencies sch as Tax and Finance, Retirement, Motor Vehicles, Liqor Athority, Workmen's Compensation and Unemployment Insrance. The bill is S. 1236, Gordon A. 2251, Lisa et al. which has now passed both Hoses and is awaiting action by the Governor. The title is the State Administrative Procedre Act, and the measre has been in the process of development over the past several years. What it will do if Governor Carey signs it is help New York State get in line with the Federal government and at least 35 other states that already have set sch standards, and set rles for the orderly and democratic condct of rle-making procedres of state agencies and athorities.

11 Ask End Of Firings, Meeting Witii Carey (Contined from Pave 1) Legislatre. We demand thait this reign of tierror end and that the damage already InfUoted be rectified. "I am hopefid that the entire mess creaited by the present layoff program may yet be ooirreicted tliiroe^h the pcomiing reoomvening of the Joint State-CSBA committee on layoff ndts. OSEA demanded the reactivation of that committee to discss or claims of serios problems and taeqltles relative to crrent layoffs. The State resisted, agi«elng only nder ttoeat of a OSEA lawsit. I hope that Is not indicative of the attitde the Btate will bring to that committee, for sccess cannot occr tf it Is. "CISEIA is moving on another front also. I wold like to report that I have made a direct, written appeal to Governor Carey for an immediate meeting between the Governor and myself. In my opinion, the problems associated with layoffs are so severe and so serios that a meeting between the Governor of the State and the presidenit of the nion representing the vast majority of State workers Is absoltely necessary. Hopeflly sch a meeting, copled with Important dialoge between members of the joint committee, can prove fritfl in stopping the State's headlong dash down the road to an as yet nknown, bt certainly potentially dangeros, point. "In that same letter I demanded two additional Important Items. One, an Immediate moratorim on any frther implementation of layoffs pen<llng bilateral scrtiny of the entire layoff pictre, and two, a complete listing of all private sector conslting firms now retained nder contract by the Oairey Administratton, an item we believe totals many mdulons o( douars for work that, to some degree, cold be performed by State employees. And, I ml«ht add, at a considerable savings in cost which wold have a dtreot effect on the State's bdget. "I am totally digsted with the manner in which layoflfib have been carried ot, jst as I am completely convinced <they are nnecessary In the first place. I sbmit that it is wrong for thosands of temporary and provisional employees to be naffected by layoffs whue long-aervice employees of proven experience and vale are being fired. It Is Six Are Named To Craig Grop SON YEA Six new members have been elected tx) the hman rights committee at the Craig Developmental Center here. Elected to twx>-year terms in the committee's minority grop were Delores Lee and Ernestine Shephard. Majority grop electees were Barbara Krelley, two years; and &Cary Terry. Adrey Algier and BUI Schaff. all for one-year terms. In addition to tlmte new members, the Craig hman rights committee consists of Ralph Gk>naales. ahalnaan, Ldemo C^tnil, Joo Sim Tan. Ramon Figoa and Danny Donovan. or position that permanent employees sbject to layoff be given the opportnity to accept any temporary or provi^onal position for which the individal is qalified. "And It is terribly wrong for the state to be hiring people off the streets Into job titles In which other people are being fflired In a different department. I am absoltely firm In demanding the state halt this practice now and In the ftre. "I want to Impress pon efveryone, inclding the Governor, that if all else falls, then we have no alternative bt to resort to legal action to press or points throgh the Pblic Employment Relations Board, and ltlmetely the corts. We will leave no stone ntrned, no doors closed, in or determination to fl^ht the administration every step of the way on the Isse of layoffs and what we consider the flagrant abse of managerial athority. "Briefly, the imion's position relative to present layoffs is this: They shold not have been begn; the state, althog'h It has the legal right, has not shown' the necessity to condct layoffs; layoffs have not always been condcted nder the prescribed rles and reglations governing them; the employees and their nion demand the immediate halting of ftre layoffs and the rectifying of damages cased by layoffs already carried ot on the gronds they were njstified and nnecessary, and we offer the state the opportnities to meet and work ot differences before it Is too late."

12 in s 9 TS I tc s ^ fc c«letters TO THE EDITOR Seasonal Park Worker (Contined from Fare 7) With every decrease In city services there Is a corresponding increase in the work load of the fire service. If garfbage Is not collected it will be set afli«. If smmer Jobs are not fond for or yoth, false alarms will increase. If hospitals are closed, firefighters will deliver bibles. If toilets or lights In oi- tenements are not fnctioning properly, Fire Department responses increase. Each Fire Department response is with alacrity, as every firefighter knows that a second may mean a life, a life whose meaning Is lost in the anonymity of a city of eight million, bt whose meaning is not lost in the exhasted firefighter's eyes. The essence of being Mayor Is to serve the people of the City of New York. One of his obligations Is to provide all citizens with the neceaaary protection against the ravages of fire. For the last 100 years the New a brand new very old idea. REALW LOG HOMES York City Fire Department has indeed afforded that protection, earning the accolade "bravest of the brave." There has not been on increase in Fire Department personnel since 1939 when the depiartment responded to 23,000 alarms. In 1974 firefighters responded to 14 times that amont, or. approximately 325,000 alarms. By Intentionally ctting the fire service despite expert advice to the contrary, the Mayor is betraying his trst to the people and shold be held accontable. THOMAS W.

Payless Leaves May Mean Benefits Loss: McDermott ALBANY Joseph E. McDermott, president of Albany Region 4, Civil Service Employees Assn., sharply rapped crrent personnel policies on payless leaves of absence in a nmber of state agencies. "The claims by varios agencies, inclding the Department of Transportation, that they intend to save dollars as reqested by Bdget Director Peter Ooldmark, by asking employees to tiake leaves withot pay, are misdirected." Mr. McDermott said he feels that for years, many state agencies objected strongly to employees taking leaves withot proi>er Jstification. Now they are attempting to herd the employees ot the door, bt refse to inform them of possible hazards in the se of this device in taking time from their employment. "Sch things as loss of death benefits and health insrance covenage are "brshed aside when they tot this new gimmick," he stated. "The payment of the employer share of Health Insrance along with the nonnal employee fee wold be reqired direct to the insrer." The restrictions on payments of death benefits might apply to many CSEA members, even thogh they were back on the payroll for almost three months. Mr. McDermott noted a case in which an employee planned to take a week each of no pay in Jne, Agst and October; however she fond ot that she wold have lost her death benefits for the entire year had she done so. "The employees may be sympathetic to the problem bt shold protect their families first and foremost," the regional president said. He added that he regretted the fact that agencies do not try to se more approprilaite methods of saving money. "Layoffs of permanent people contine while some agencies cold save almost their entire bdget ct by placing all provisionals holding permanent baok-p titles in their permanent titles," he remarked. QCn one case, he pointed ot the layoff of 16 seasonai employees from the Environmental North Contry grop and the immediate hiring of 45 other Westchester Picnic HABTSDAILE The annal picnic of the Westchestw Conty nit, Civil Service Employees Assn., will be held at the Ridge Park picnic grove here Simday, Jly 13.

I hope that on that, yor spe- THAYER cial day, it did not. However, looking abot in that hge edifice, I saw so many familiar faces both in niform and civilian clothes that I am afraid I was terribly distracted and my mind skipped from the solemn events of the moment to things which, for anybody deeply concerned abot "the brothers" as yo and I have been for so many years, is a time of great tragedy for all of MS. I went back for a while into retrospect and thoght of the many happy hors yo and I had "p in the office," talking of things past as well as things we both hoped wold be in the ftre. One thing I can never forget are yor words of advice abot people. Yo told me many years ago that there is good In every man and that I mst believe this to be tre in my dealings with all men. Yo told me that I mst seek ot that attribte and if it were not at once evident, I shold dig a little and I wold srely find It. In some men it wold be Immediately evident, mch as a polished diamond.

I still try to follow yor advice bt in the case of a mlnlcadre of men within the Fire Department I have. long since given p the search and have to admit it was a hopeless task. I think the principal distraction on the seventh for me was the thoght of all the men who, having been rendered "pink slips," were going throgh an experience at that very moment which cold only be described as crelly tramatic. To try and imagine the tragedy, the desperation, the fear of the ftre, the bitterness of tlie circmstance... all these things went throgh my mind as I listened to the magnlficenit organ msic that morning. There were thoghts of some medal winners only a few dajrs before, of a smiling mayor hanging the berlbboned disk arond their necks, knowing only too well that these heroes of Jne 3 wold be fired heroes on Jne 30. Bt he smiled broadly mch as most politicians can smile even when they are looking to see where the knife will do its Job best. When the last probationary class gradated and the men were assigned to companies, I recall one captain, while greeting one of the new men, congratlating him on making sch a wise choice as to come "Into the job." The kid, with stars In his eyes, accepted the compliment and smiled as he remembered the final words of a speech which had been made at his gradation ceremonies that morning.

I remember, Artie, when one night, while a certain matter was pending (it had made major headlines of the day) yo fond that some of the people whom yo had trsted and for whom yo had placed jror job on the line, betrayed yo. With a smile I think yo said, "It looks like I've been had." I never saw a more hi-t look on any man's face as the look yo had that night. Yo were right: There is no greater feeling of tragedy or despair than to find that yor ideals and hopes, yor special feelings for others and yor high evalations of them, have been betrayed, crshed, devastated.

Coalition's Designation Cards? IMcDermott Warns 'Don't Sign!' ALBANY Joseph E. McDermott, iwresident of Albany Region 4, Civil Service Employees Assn., in a message to all Region 4 GSEA members, warned of the reslts of signing designation cards issed by a coalition of five labor nions now challenging CSEA for representation rights. "Althogh this cotaaition is new, they are sing the same fnny talk' SEIU sed In 1971," Mr. McDermott said, citing a similar challenge for years ago. " Sign the card,' they state. It does not mean that yo spport any p^iol&r imlon. It means that yo want an election and bhait yo spport the democratic pirooess which is still the American way of doing things,'" Mir. MlcDermott said, qoting the AFL-CIO coalition's message accompanying the designation cards. If 30 percent of the membership of any bargaining nit signs the designation cards, the Pblic Employment Rela/tlons Board Is obliged to condct a representation election. "It shold not be necessary for CSEA to Incr additional expenses, staffing, pblicity and mailings. These monies normally are earmarked for grievance processing, legal fees, member* services, etc. brden of the^e additional costs will ltimately be yors. If the watchword ls become 'the American w&y is to pay,' the eventality becomes inevitable. Yo pay."

Watertown. Watertown: 6% Hike 6l No Layoffs WATERTOWN A contract providing a six percent pay hike and a garantee of no layoffs in the next fiscal year has been accepted by the Watertown City nit. Civil Service Smployees Assn., which represents general mnicipal employees. The settlement, voted by CSEA members, climaxed lengthy ronds of talks with City Manager Ronald O. Forbes &nd Pblic Employment Rekitions Board mediator Herbert Van Schaack, of Oswego. Richard J. Orleco, president of the Jefferson chapter imit. said the garantee of no layoffs was the trmp card in his imit's acceptance of the contract. While that garantee is not written into the contmct, he said it was part of a compromise worked ot in mediation with Mr. Van Schaack making it part of his record of the proceeding, and Mr. Foi^ In agreement. The no-layoff provision will not apply to teanporary positions (of which there are ciirrently none), or to vacancies that might arise in the ftre. This means that positions which become empty wold not necessarily be filled. The CSEA contract has a wage-reopener clase. Mr. Orleco noted that reopening salary negotiations wold nllify the nokiyoff garantee. City Manager Forbes, indicating that he was operating on an asterity bdget, hinted that some ctbacks in city services might be forthcoming.
