By PAUL KYER KIAESHA LAKE There was no shoting, no proar here last week when some 1,200 delegates attending the spring meeting of the Civil Service Employees Assn. voted to strike statewide on April 18 nless they were offered a decent pay package for state workers this year. A grim and silent crowd took less than 20 seconds to approve a strike resoltion offered by CSEA's State Exective Committee chairman Thomas cdonogh. There was no need to debate. Delegates knew the facts well before arriving here for their threeday session. They had already rejected a proposal by Governor Carey for a $350 across-the-board raise on April 1 and another 5 percent hike on Jan. 1. The fact-finders' strong recommendation for a 5 percent raise now and additional 314 percent hike on Jan. 1 for all employees was, in trn, rejected by the Grovemor. Carey's refsal to consider the recommendation on the gronds it "costs too mch" cased CSEA president Theodore C, Wenzl to term Carey "the' (Contined <m Page 16) Cort Workers Discss ove: Still Qestions By JANE BERNSTEIN KIAESHA LAKE April 1 "Will see the transfer of all local government cort employees to the state payroll.

When the photo was taken at CSEA convention last week, they were still local government employees and officers of conty chapters; by the end of this week they will be state employees.

That motion, passed overwhelmingly by delegates to the Civil Service Employees Assn.'s annal spring convention at the Concord Hotel here, was, of corse, the most important action taken at the meeting. Other decisions, perhaps of less immediate import to the rankand-file membership, generated some high-voltage debates dring the corse of the three-day coming-together of CSEA decisionmakers throghot the state. Even the blizzard, which for several hors left the Concord withot electricity or telephone service, failed to damp the fireworl, bt did case a temporary flare-p of tempers by those delegates wlio feared being stranded withot fnds in the snowbond hotel. Fnds of another kind, however, were discssed at the opening of the meeting. Treasrer Jack Gallagher reported that for first time in two years the nion IS operating in the black. He attribted this to economies that have been made in the nion's operations to prevent asking for a des increase from members, who are already heavily brdened by inflation and taxes. Refsal to ask CSEA members for any frther money was also the major case for the delegates' rejection of 10-cents-per-payperiod contribtion for a political action warchest.

Civil Service Employees Assn. regional attorney Arthr Orae. who represented the gards, pointed ot that the dlqkite had its genesis in a job-elimination political dtasnite over the conty bdget, pitting the Conty Ezeetive, Alfred B.

Jstice Rbenfeld, in reviewing the dispte, fond that nder the emergency contract awarded to Effective Secrity Systons Joe. the work to te performed by private employees was identical to the dties of the petitioners. "Althogh the contract provides for additional beneflts to the conty (sch as liability Insrance)," Jstice Rbenfeld observed. "it is clear that the savings, if any. fkom this diift to contracted sej vices are not abstanttal." He added, H Is also dear, from conty regtaulans that were applicable to watdnen and from the rles and instrctions Issed by Effective Secrity, that the abolished posltldns do not differ materially in terms of fnctions and dties frchn the Jobs made available nder the emergency contract." The cort stressed that there is no blanket prohibition against "cantractlng ot work which can. or which presently is performed by civil service onidoyees." It noted, for example, a case where the State Cort of Appeals permitted the sbccmtracting of titlesearch worit becase of "nsal circmstances." Bt in approving sch an act, the state's highest cort pointed ot that there were no controb by the pblic employer and it "did not constitte an 'mipointment' in the dvll service."

3 NEW UTICA SATELLITE OFFICE Civil Service Employees Assn. members now have no troble locating the Central Region V office in Utica. The new satellite, with a staff of six, stands ot at the corner of John and Bleecker Street. Terry cdonald, CSEA stenographer and Ercole "Btch" Ventra, CSEA organizer, walk past the new CSEA sign which greets drivers blocks away. Francis artello, field spervisor, was chiefly responsible for the selection and floor planning of the new site, which has an additional 500 sqare feet of needed floor space. ^ C S E A Acfs T o Save 120 Recreation Office Jobs ALBANY The Civil Service Employees Assn. has Initiated legal action designed to block what it termed "a scheme by the State Office of Parks and Recreation to eliminate approximately 120 jobs at 11 regional parks and recreation headqarters." The CSEA, which represents the employees affected, said the plan to eliminate the positions nder the gise of consolidation is a violation of the contract between the nion and the State of New York and wold "case serios economic problems to the individals involved and the locales in which they live and work." A nion spolcesman said employees to be affected were first told of the plan in a letter dated Jan. 27, 1977, and that the Jobs involved are schedled for elimination at five of the regional parks and recreation connission locations on arch 31 and at the remaining six locations on October 1. The CSEA said the State Office of Parks and Recreation plans to eliminate all finance, payroll and prchasing Jobs at the 11 locations by setting p a centralized finance system in Albany. "The employees Involved are most clerical and administrative people holding lower level positions, and since they wold be economically iinable to accept transfers to Albany, they are, in effect, being forced ot of their Jobs. And regardless, the move will impact pon the local commnities involved becase the Jobs will definitely be eliminated there. We're trying to save those 2 Contract Offers Rejected By Rensselaer Conty Unit TROY Dring a hectic two-week period, the Rensselaer Conty nit of the Civil Service Employees Assn. rejected two contract settlements offered by the Rensselaer Conty administration. The first contract offer, a wage freeze in 1977 and a so-called $700 raise in 197a paid ot in sch a way that the actal vote and demanded a revote by voting machine. conty workers wold only receive $575 of the $700 in fiscal 1978 was rejected by a 3 to 2 margin. CSEA collective bargaining specialist Harman Swits then issed a statement that reported the rejection of the pact, bt did not contain the exact voting figres, which defeated the pact 168 to 120. Conty Exective William iphy said he knew The leadership of the Rensselaer Conty nit met in an emergency session and issed a reqest for a clarification meeting with the Coimty Exective bt firmly refsed to revote on the rejected contract offer. A meeting was held and a second offer, a wage freeze in 1977, <D CSEA calendar 0) ^ a.m., American Svings dank, i960 Hempstead Trnpike, East eadow. 30 Brooklyn Developmental Center Local 447 exective committee meeting: 4 p.m., Brooklyn Developmental Center. 888 Fontain Ave., Brooklyn.

The CSEA refsed to comply with the Conty Exective's offer of conty voting machines at every conty work location. Rather the CSEA sggested that paper ballots be sed at six conty work locations with all eligible employees being allowed to vote between the hors of 5 a.m. and 5 p.m. The ballots were coxmted in the Rensselaer Conty Legislative Chamber with conty officials and area media representatives present. The ballot tally showed 505 eligible voters participating, with the vote going against the pact, 307 to 198. r. Swits commented on the rejection: "The membership has spoken for the second time and I hope the Coimty Exective has heard their anger at his imposed wage freeze. The CSEA is ready to negotiate a fair and eqitable settlement with the Conty Exective, if he is so inclined. The CSEA is also prepared to take or sitation to the Conty Legislatre, in this very room. aybe the legislators will be concerned with the welfare of their em-.ployees." 120 Jobs, for the people as well as the commnity." a CSEA spokesman said.

Impasse In Skaneciteles SKANEATELEa A spokesman for the Civil Service Employees Assn., annonced recently that an impasse has been declared between the CSEA, repreiienting the noninstrctional employees at Skan. eateles Central School District, and the District management. Ron Smith. CSEA field representative for the school district employees, said, "The Impasse was reached after nmeros meetings with the Sdiool District mansbrg, which has concern for state parks in Cayga, Chemng, Ontario. Schyler, Seneca, Steben, Tioga, Tompkins, Wayne and Yates Conties; Long Island State Park and Recreation Commission. Belmont Lake State Park, Babylon. Long Island, which is responsible for state paries and parkways in Nassa and Sffolk Conties; Thosand Islands State Park and Recreation Commission, Alexandria Bay, responsible for parks and reservetions in Jefferson Conty and parts of Lewis, Franklin, Clinton and St. Lawrence Conties. The CSEA spokesman said the nloh has filed a formal grievance with the State Office of Parks and Recreation claiming the elimination of the Joiis is a violation of the CSEA-State contract in that the State failed to provide six months' notice of the elimination of the finance, prchasing and payroll fnctions at the locations. The nion spokesman said all permanent employees affected are being offered transfers to Albany at their present grade or higher, bt that sch relocation wold be virtally impossible for most of them. The nion said the "CSEA is not against the consolidation move; bt against the forced laying off of these 120 or more people and the effect pon them and their commnities cased by it. With nemployment still very high in this state, this move by the State Office of Parks and Recreation can only add to the nemployment sitation and the brden of the taxpayers to spport it. If the state can consolidate withot forcing these people ot of eqivalent Jobs in the same area, the nion wold be satisfied." in an attempt to reach an eqitable settlement." Among the many CSEA open isses are grievance procedre, posting and bidding procedre and wages. "The postre of the School District lias been negative in responses to legitimate proposals sbmitted by the CSEA." r. Smith said. The CSEA has reqested the Pblic Employment Relations Board to appoint a mediator in an attempt to retoive the oontraot dispte. in n < r O P5 X n SI fi» t 3. vc

I97S ODAS EPLOYEES AWARDED FOR SERVICE lations Bo&rd. The one that is probably nearest to settlement is the charge of failre to negotiate. On Oct , Rockland Conty nit president Patsy Spied wrote to the Chairman of the Conty Legislatre demanding that negotiations for a 1977 contract begin "immediately." However, to this date, the Conty hfas refsed to bargain with the workers' imion at all. "This is a blatant violation of the Taylor Law," r. Spicci said, "and we expect a favorable settlement of the charge." A hearing on the matt«r was held in Febrary, f-ind a decision is expected shortly. A related charge concerns the legislative hearing held in October at which the conty legislators nilaterally imposed the terms and conditions of employment for the 1976 year for the Rockland employees. The CSEA maintains that this hearing was held illegally, since the stite's Taylor Law specifies that <=ch a hearing can be held only if the fact-finder's report in a contract dispte is rejected by one side or the other. Sines neither the nion nor the conty rejected the report, the CSEA points ot, the hearing shold never have been held. A prehearing conference on this charge will be lield at PERB oifices in New York City in mid- April, and a formal hearing is set for AprU 29. On arch 8, tlie tiiird charge was filed, concerning the conty's failre to pay longevity and annal increments this year. At laeader presstime, the CSEA was awaiting tiie setting of the date of the infoi-mal hearing on this isse. "The Conty of Rockland seems to have the attitde that it can do wiiatever it pleases to its employees," r. Spicci said. "CSEA is jst letting the conty know that the workers, here will not tolerate the conty's se of illegal methods in its labor relations."

FRIDAY, APRIL 1, 1977 The Politics Of Cynicism GOVERNOR CAREY and his politics of cynicism reached new heights recently in his rejection of a distingished fact-finders' recommendation for a state employee pay raise estimated to cost some $80 million while at the same time pshing for an income tax redction that wold cost $100 million. The motivation behind both moves is, to say the least, amoral. A brief stdy of the amonts involved demonstrates easily that Carey is bying an income tax ct with money from the pockets of the state's civil service employees. The irony is that Carey has bent all his bdget efforts toward a redction in costs, bt in this instance is willing to drop $20 million more than needed for a pay raise to please the voters. The money $5 to $50 in citizens' pockets wold be miniscle. Bt it wold represent a fairly decent pay increase for employees who haven't had one since Rnning alongside of this manever are proposals by the Governor to move 12,000 more workers into the management class, a ctback in already-negotiated benefits and as mch emasclation of retirement benefits as possible. The sm total is nion bsting on the highest scale and this from the state leader of a party with a history of being the working man's friend. What then is the Governor's real goal? Denying a modest pay increase of 8H percent recommended by a fact-finding committee headed by one of the contry's most distingished labor negotiators, Theodore Kheel and ptting a few pennies briefly in the pockets of taxpayers are actions that serve neither the people nor the state. Bt His ajesty disdains to deal with any protests seriosly. Carey's lofty contempt may well be the propelling force, then, to case a state worker strike on April 18, as sanctioned last week by the Civil Service Employees Assn. The organization has rejected his token pay increase scheme and is looking now to the Legislatre for spport. If a strike shold occr, blame the politics of cynicism, not the ordinary state employee who has no place else to go except to the wall. (P.K.) Q. I fet 881 ehecki l)eca of my disaliility and recently received a aestionnaire to fill ot. Since my condition hasn't improved, why mst I answer these qestions? A. The law reqires social secrity to ask everyone who gets SSI checks certain qestions from time to time. This helps s make sre l)eneficiaries are still eligible for these payments and that checks are Issed for the correct amont. Althogh yor disability hasn't changed, there cold lie changes in yor income, resorces, or living arrangements that cold affect the amont of yor SSI check. Q. I'm 68 and I had planned to apply for svpplemental secrity Income. Bat a neighbor told I prabajr eo«ldnt get spplemental secrity income payments becase I have children across town who cold help spport me. Is that tre? A. No. Yor eugibility for Federal spplemental secrity income payments wold not be affected by yor children's ability to help spport yo. However, any spport they my frnish yo wold cont as inoonie and cold affect yor payment. Call or write any social secrity office for Information abot applying for spplemental secrity inrcome payments. Q. I'm getting ready to file my tax retrns and was wondering how mch tax I have to pay on my social seority bene, fits for A. Yo pay no Federal or State tax on thew benefits ^ (Contined from Page 1) fact-finding panel in the negotiations impasse between the State and the Civil Service Employees Assn., was predictable. It is a matter of pblic record that even before the factfinding panel made its report that the State's principal negotiator pblicly annonced that the State wold pay no attention to the panel's findings and recommendations. The followthrogh on that pblic declaration nderscores the extent to which fact-finding lias become a mockery, serving no sefl prpose other than to provide the pblic employer with another stalling device. Smoke Screen As it works ot, fact-finding is nothing bt a smoke screen, a transparent device for obscring the brtal fact that this procedre is nothing else bt evidence of bad-faith bargaining on the part of the pblic employer. In view of the sad history of fact-finding, Theodore Wenzl, CSEA president, was jstified in describing the Governor's action as "blatant nion-bsting tactics, attempting to divide and conqer the entire state work force." Sch callos treatment of the fact-finding process In relation to the largest organization of civil service employees in the state threatens the bargaining activities of every other organization of pblic employees at all levels of goverrnent throghot the state. This is a time for nity among all pblic employees, wiiich mst make itself felt at the legislative level, which, nder the Taylor I^w, has the final responsibility for resolving the impasse in the collective bargaining process. ore significantly, this is the time for every member of the State Legislatre to stand p and l)e conted. In the corse of the election campaigns, every candidate for the State Legislatre ardently woos the votes of the civil service employees and members of their families. As CSEA girds for constrctive action in the final step of the collective bargaining process, no member of the Legislatre will be spared from the necessity for honoring campaign commitments made to the pblic employees. Eqity And Fairness This drive for legislative spport for the demands made by CSEA for its members will necessarily be led by CSEA officers and members. However, what is at stake here is not only eqity and fairness for state employees, bt also for pblic employees at all levels of local government. Under the circmstances, all civil service employees shold respond to the call for action by writing and calling their individal State Senators and Assemblymen, to alert them of theii- obligation to spport the CSEA position, when the isse comes before the Legislatre for resoltion. It mst be made clear to every member of tiie Legislatre that failre to respond affirmatively will lead to retribtion at the polls. Preliminary srveys among tiie members qx the Legislatre by CSEA officials reveal a liigh degree of nderstanding among them of the CSEA position in contrast to the intolerable position taken by the State Administration on tile panel recomioaotiiud l Paga 7) r. Gaba is a member of the New Yrsrit Bar and Chairman of the Nassa Conty Bar Association Labor Law Committee. Certification Reqired To Teach In Jne 1972, the Board of Edcation of the Salmon River Central School District abolished its jnior high school French program. This decision cased the district to terminate the employment of the petitioner, a teacher who was a certified and tenred teacher of French. The district informed the teacher that she wold be placed on a preferred eligibility list and wold be entitled to reinstatement if the program was re-established within the next for years. In ay 1974, the petitioner reqested that she be appointed to any teaching vacancy in her tenre area. Three< new teachers with less seniority than the petitioner were hired for the school year beginning September 1974 while the petitioner was denied reinstatement. The new teachers were hired for positions in the secondary tenre area to teach English and science. These were sbjects in which they were certified to teach. The petitioner was not certified in either English or science. THE PETITIONER APPEALED her denial of reinstatement to the Department of Edcation. The Commissioner0 of Edcation determined that the petitioner was entitled to reinstatement only to a position similar to that held by her at the time her services were terminated, and that she was not entitled to any position within her tenre area. The Spreme Cort, Special Term, Albany Conty, affirmed the commissioner's decision, and petitioner appealed. On appeal, the petitioner arged that she was accorded "area" tenre rather than tenre in a specific sbject matter sch as foreign langage. She therefore claimed that she shold be granted reinstatement before a new teacher with less seniority was hired in her tenre area. The Appei- # late Division, Third Department, agreed that apart from certain specified sbjects sch as physical edcation, msic, art and vocational sbjects, tenre is not available according to corse sbjects, bt is only descriptive of grade level. However, despite this finding, the cort fond the petitioner's application was properly dismissed based on Sections 2510, 3001, 3009, and 3010 of the Edcation Law. SECTION 2510 PROVIDES that when a person's office or position is abolished, he/she shall be placed on a preferred { appointment list for reinstatement to vacancies in "sch corresponding or similar positions" In order of the length of service in the system at any time within for years from the date of abolition of sch office or position. In constring the statte, the cort fond the words "corresponding or similar position" to mean that the dties reqired to be performed in the vacant position mst be similar to the dties performed by the person in his previos position before it was abolished. In applying its constrction of the statte to the petitioner's case, the cort determined that "the dties of the English and science teaching positions are not so nqestionably similar to the dties of the abolished < position to jstify reinstatement." Frthermore, the cort (CttmNd on rage 7)

7 By PAELA CBAIG QUESTION The pbiic U smauy qick to biamt the breaerata. What Ho yo expect from the pblic in order to make yor life eaaier? Edna Hopfan. clerk: "I really don't think we can do mch to change the attitde of the pblic; it's a qestion of or nderstanding their frstrations. I wish they wold not get so.angry, bt how do yo get them not to get so angry? They don't nderstand the terminology we se. I had one woman who said she was an accontant and iiad been to college, bt said she coldn't nderstand s. I leel people frightened when they come to this office. 1 gess they feel we're all ogres in this place and they fear they aren't going to come ot with what they came for." Olga Pagan*, clerk: "The office cold be more pleasant for s if the pblic wold come in with a better attitde. Sometimes they become impatient when they go from line to line for information. so when they come to the clerks' lines incorrectly prepared and we mst trn them away, we get the brnt of their anger. I think it's hman natre to wait ntil the last minte: yet when the offices are overcrowded, the waiting leads to impatience. If the pblic were to come in earlier, they wold get ot faster." Elisabeth Parka, clerk: "The motorists shold not demand the Impossible, regard- less of the legality of the reqest. It's hman natre to make errors bt I wish they were less freqent. I sometimes feel we shold have someone stand behind s when we have to deal with irate cstomers. The cstomer can only get what he wants by being calm when he has a problem. We dont make the rles althogh the cstomer thinks he has the right to make them." THE PLACE Jamaica otor Vdilcles Department. Qeens OPINIONS Tbehna Steele, clerk: "I think there mst be more nderstanding on both sides. If or cstomers wold imderstand or position and what we have to do and not blame s for everything, things wold v^ork ot better. We don't say no ot of meanness; we say no becase it is sometimes reqired by Uie job. The pblic shold see that it really isn't we who are to blame for everything. I feel or cstomers wold do well by reading the booklet on the varios procedres necessary to apply for a license or registration." Rita Wisniewski, clerk: "The pblic shold pt themselves in or places, then they might hold their tempers. I also wish they woldn't be on the defensive as soon as they come in. The pblic isn't against s personally; they Jst take ot their frstrations on s. When they come and they don't have the right pnch card or their insrance card, they blame yo. I wish they wold go into the information line first, to find what they need, instead of standing in a clerics' line and then have to be trned away. Iris Castillo, clerk: "Here at otor Vehicles we work very hard and most of the cstomers are satisfied with oi- work. I wish they wold come for their licenses and registration earlier instead of waiting till the last minte. This wold ease tensions. Everything yo can think of is thrown at s at the very last minte. Some of the cstomers are coi'teos and some will pll the hair ot of yor head, althogh the problem is their own falt, not ors." LETTERS TO THE EDITOR Thayer's Crsade Editor, The Leader: Since my hsband is a lietenant in the Fire Department. I have been particlarly interested in reading Pal Thayer's colmn, 'Fire Flies.' His arch 18 article on "The Games Some edical Officers Play,' treated a sbjcct familiar to me, becase of my hsband's ordeal at the medical office some time ago. It seems conditions have not improved. y hsband was fighting a fire, when he reached ttie fifth floor of a brning bilding and the stairwell gave way. He fell throgh two floors and was plled ot by aiither fireman, bt was in need of medical attention. As he waited his trn at the hospital's emergency room, a doctor finally got arond to treat his neck and leg brns, releasing him withot taking X- rays. We arrived home at 3 ajn. and my hsband cold hardly make a move. He had to retrn to the city for a checkp after a cople of days and. being in very great pain, my hsband asked the doctor for an X-ray. The doctdr dld not feel this was necessary and let him go with some prescription for a pain-killer, which did not help. For three weeks, my hsband had to go back to the medical office, bt his condition did not improve. Finally a doctor decided to take X-rays, to find ot that he had three broken ribs. Firefighters have to be fit, as the lives of many people depend on them. Therefore. I think it's only fair that or men receive the best medical attention possible. Name Withheld New York City Insrance Rollbacks Editor. The Leader: The article on the ato-insrance rollbacks, in the arch 17 isse of the Leader, says that the C8EA Region I president got the major insrance companies to roll back the latest increases. I wold like to know more abot this. y father is with AUsUte and we received an increase in the year's policy, in PebrUry. We have two cars: a ' Bick wagon "Wid a 10 wagon. The Bick went p $95 and the Chevy went p $200. Twenty-five days later the we received another increase: the Chevy went p an additional $315. Th? price has gone p $610 in one year. This is over la 100 percent increase. If the Information in the article is accrate, I wold like to nderstand the reason for or enormos increase. I am a stdent and a parttime driver of or Chevy. I wold appreciate any explanation yo cold give me on this problem. WILLIA G. DENNIS JR. IsUp, New York Ed's note: We are advised that it wold probably be best for yo to contact the insrance company and ask the reason for the cost increase in light of the rollback. No Raise, No Vote Editor, The Leader: I voted for Hgh (th6 Hostile) Carey when he ran for Governor. It waa the iini and is the last vote he'll receive from me.

Now a stdy shows that the fnd, which has been paying ot 3.5 billion dollars a year to more than a million ex^railroaders and their srvivors will be in the red again. The Railroad Retirement Board is asking for an additional $100 million annally ntil the year 2000, a sm which is two billion dollars more than the original estimates. With contracts in the Railroad labor force, the indstry contribtions are now short $350 million a year. In practical terms, this means (Contined from Page 6) mendations. A bit of extra effort on the part of every civil service employee will garantee ltimate victory in this major strggle. LETTERS POLICY Letters to the Editor shold be less than 200 words. The Leader reserves the right to extract or condense pertinent sections of letters that exceed the maximm length. eaning or intent of a letter is never changed. Lengthy letters that cannot be edited to a reasonable length are not sed nless their viewpoint is so niqe that, in The Leader's jdgment, an exception shold be made. All letters mst be signed and bear the writer's address and telephone nmber. Names will be withheld pnn reqest. Fair Estimation Editor, The Leader: For years, I have been hesitant to write. Bt after reading the Feb. 25 isse of the Leader I have finally made p my mind. I have taken exams for Jr. caseworker, inclding Orade A. and failed. It seems that the more one knows, the less one scceeds. The qestions are seldom geared to the position soght. Also, exams do not give credit for diligence, initiative and dedication. of which only the director of the Social Services Commission is aware. Why does all this go nrecognized? Reportedly, there are more llats coming p. These shold be worth 50 percent, and the local department shold have the right to grade the remaining 50 percent. When an employee has reached a spervisory level or that of Grade A senior worker, this shold be the fairest estimation of his capabilities. I hope others will share my recommendation before the pcoming tests are administered. Name WtUUld Grade A Svpervlr that freight rates will have to go p to cover this deficit, nless the U.S. government sbsidy is raised from $250 million to $350 million. Part of the problem comes from the fact that some railroad retirees work both nder Social Secrity and the Railroad Retirement System. * An overflow protest by senior citizens swamped New York City Hall last week. The demonstration was against projected cts in state and local bdgets. They felt that cts wold lead to the ctback of edicaid coverage for people whose income is slightly higher Uian pblic assistance levels, and co-payment on presscription drgs; and the elimination of optional services, inclding podiatry and dental care. The grop also protested the potential loss of 66 Senior Citizen centers in New York City presently provided throgh Title XX of the Social Secrity Act. For senior citizens, the closing of 66 centers in New York for many older people a Ufeline to normal living was seen as catastrophic. The edicaid ctbacks wold deny necessary medical care and preventive dental care and podiatry to thosands. The citizens marched arond City Hall and overflowed to Chrch Street, as speakers presented their pleas over lod speakers. A coalition of agencies serving the aged asked the Commnity Concil to coordinate the rally, after the annoncement of a contemplated 40 percent redction in Title XX fnds was annonced. Indications from analysis of the bdget proposed by Governor Carey were that $5,000,000 of the Title XX fnds wold be deferred from direct services to administrative costs, ths easing the pressre on the State bdget and eliminating many of these senior centers. Eleven grops joined in the rally. Inclding: Associated Y/YHAf.; Catholic Charities of Brooklyn, Central Brea for the Jewish Aged; Commnity Service Society; Congress of Senior Citizens; Jewish Association for Services for the Aged; Self-Help Commnity Services; Senior Smmit CaliUo; United Neighborhood Hoses; United Senior Centers, and Vacations and Senior Centers Association.

8 r- a '-0 " OS Q < ttl Ui XI CJ Political Action Committee Report rhe political acuon committee report was ^iven by chairman artin Lancer, of Rockland Psychiatric Center Local 421, at the CSEA mriny convention at the Concord Hotel. Other committee members are Cante Bernard, Earl Bivlns, Bath Braverman, Howard Cropsey, Ramona Oallaffher, Richard Grleco. artin Koenlsr, Ralph Natale, John VaUee, Vincent Rnbano, Patrick asciou and James Carrier. While this Committee wishes it cold report categoric sccess based pon its activities in the political arena, it is perhaps foolish or at best imrealistic to draw sch a conclsion. On an average. 91 percent of or endorsed candidates did win elections in both the Assembly and the Senate. Frther yet, we did manage to amass many thosands of dollars which was eqally divided between the Democrats and the Repblicans. Sperfir cially then, it wold appear that overwhelming sccess shold be a clear conseqence of or actions. Unfortnately, however, all things are relative. While or method of political involvement was, this past year, clearly a more sophisticated and all encompassing enterprise compared to years gone by, in terms of other comparable interest grops, we are only in or formative stages. While or endorsements we believe were made Jdiciosly, they alone do not garantee sccess. There exists in this State another grop of pblic employees, who while smaller in nmber than orselves, realized the fll potential of political action and nhesitatingly donated to the camapign fnds of all statewide candidates an amont of money more than six times the amont that we collected and contribted. The sccess of this grop's actions was clearly evident dring the last session and will no dobt contine for days yet to come. There does exist a simple mechanism which wold rather qickly extricate s from or dilemma and perhaps enhance oi- political pnch. This year the Political Action Committee will propose a bdget for se in ftre races. Or intention is ta reqest an amont which some might consider presvnptos bt one which will awaken people to or potential. It is or intention to advertise this amoimt so that friend and foe alike will be aware of or potential. In order to provide the fnding necessary to create this fimd we have two simple choices, we either can continosly solicit the contribtions of or members which, qite honestly, is a disheartening endeavor, or find a way of modifying or des strctre in sch a way as to obtain at least one dollar per year fnmi each of or members. Simple arithmetic wold allow anyone to realize the potential war chest which cold be established. If this idea cold reach frition, we cold then trly begin to combat those individals who have clearly established themselves as or adversaries. Even at this moment, I wold believe that everyone of or members has realized the conseqences of netrality in terms of or statewide races. If the idea of creating a fnd designed almost exclsively to be sed in the next gbernatorial race is not appealing to everyone at this convention, this Committee wold stand back in total amazement. In this endeavor, it will be imperative that the Statewide Committee be allowed to act somewhat atonomosly. In other words, some of the monies collected throgh the mechanism already described will have to revert to the Statewide Political Action Committee. We cannot be saddled with the $5,000 corporate limitation and hope to make meaningfl statewide endorsements. The one other area of concern to this committee has been in the area of fragmentation. While it has not occrred too often dring the last campaign, we did face the danger of nits or individals, in the name of CSEA, having made endorsements contrary to those agreed to by both the Regional and Statewide Committees. This clearly sbverts or efforts and redces or credibility. Despite the negative tone of this report, we feel that strides have been made. In the Legislative Chambers we are gaining entrance to areas and individals who have rarely given s a thoght. In fact, it is safe to say that we have very recently played integral roles in the prevention of losses of Jobs throgh the Exective Bdget. Undobtedly, this is a role we might not have played last year. It was said qite recently that the tre impact of political action will be realized if and when the fact finding report has been rejected and a joint committee has been established in order to decide the fate of State employees' salary hopes. In great measre, we fervently hope that We will get ot of the Legislatre considerably more than we pt in this year. It is conceivable that we will do well bt if we do we trst it will be an incentive to move nhesitatingly into the area of political action Instead of withdrawing and forgetting the need for its contined existence. As noted this was a beginning, a good beginning perhaps, bt only that. There is little dobt that the ftre of CSEA is inexorably tied into the political arena. It will be either or one last, best hope or the most lethal enemy we have ever faced. The choice is ors. At each conventfon, there are always certain people who merge from relative anonimity to play important roles in nion debate. A familiar sond this year was: "This is Walter Briggs, m^dent of id-hdson Psychiatric Center Local Non-teaching schotrt emidoyecs committee coordinator panny Jinks, at lectern, reviews problems faced by edcational employees. Committee members, seated from left, are Carol Craig, of Sffolk EdcaUonal Local 870; Hgh Crapser, of Dtchess Edcational Local 867; Salvatore ogavero, of Erie Edcational Local 868, chairman Edward Perrott, of Nassa Edcational Local 865; Jake Banek, of Oneida Edcational Local 869, and NeU Grppo, of Niagara Local 832. Special Election Procedres Committee Report The special election procedres committee report was given by chairman Bernard Schmahl, of Taxation and Finance Local 690, at the CSEA spring convention at the Concord Hotel. Other committee members are Genevieve Clark, Anthony GiannetU, Harold GoldScrg, Sy KaU, William cconvell and Raymond Prttchard. The main concern of or Committee at this time is the pcoming election for Statewide Officers, Departmental members on the State Exective Committee and Regional Officers. llie Committee met on Wednesday. Febrary at 10:30 aj. at CSEA Headqarters to select the otside agency that will condct the election. In at. tendance, in addition to the Committee members, were Board members. Howard Cropy, Pal at.

After a lengthy discssion and a review of all the bids sbmitted, the Committee, by nanimos vote, accepted the bid of Amsterdam Data Processing Corporation of Amsterdam, New York. The recommendation of the Committee was accepted by the Board of Directors at their meeting held on Febrary 10, Three CSEA chapter preddents await their trns at microphone monitored by assistant sergeant-at-arms Elaine Todd, right, of Bffalo District Labor Local 352.

Since the time for nominations is ended on arch 1 and declinations by arch 20. the next item to be considered is nomination by petition. The de date for peutions to be filed is April 14, Petitions may be filed by any member who was a member in good standing as of Jne and mst be signed by not less than 2 percent of the entire membership in order to rim for statewide office. Hie reqirement for Departmental Representative is 10 percent of the membership of the Department, with a maximm of 450 names. Forms for filing petitions are available at all official CSEA offices. l^e Committee feels that if chapter officers and delegates will advise their members of the importance of the election, a greater participation will reslt. The following is the time schedle for the make p of the ballot, and mailing and processing of the ballots: April 20 Candidate will be advised as to how his name will appear on ballot. with reqest for any correction to be made by ay 5.

The ballot will be issed by the otside agency on receipt of the completed affidavit form. We feel that with the proper cooperation of the members, we will have a very sccessfl and satisfactory election. Or special thanks to the staff members who have assisted the Connlttee in the preparation of sch material as needed to complete the work leading to the acceptance of the bid.

9 Non-Teaching School Employee Committee Report The non-teaching school employees committee report was given by chairman Edward Perrott, of Nassa Conty Edcation Employees Local 865, at the CSEA spring convention at the Concord Hotel. Other committee members are Salvatore ogavero, Jacob Banek, Charles Lch, Howard Cropsey, Leslie Banks, Vincent DlBrlenza, Hgh Crapser, Irene Izio, Neil Gmppo and Carol Craig, with staff coordinator Danny Jinks. The prpose of this report is to pdate the activities of the committee since its last report to the delegates at the sixtysixth (66th) Annal eeting of the Association. Althogh the committee has completed the seminars it held for bs drivers of school districts, it has contined to monitor the reglations promlgated nder Article 19-A of the Vehicle and Traffic Law and Article 9-A of the Jransportation Law. It has, throgh its coordinator, answered qestions on the reglations and provided materials necessary for members of CSEA to remain well informed. The coordinator has, frthermore, sent a memorandm to the field staff advising them of the importance of negotiating certain provisions in contracts to protect the rights of bs drivers who fail to pass tests, examinations, or otherwise fail to qalify to drive a school bs becase of the Department of otor Vehicle Reglations. ore recently, the committee has been investigating the effect that the shortage of natral gas and cold weather is having on school district employees in New York State. It has attempted to inform Pension Committee Report The pension committee report was given by chairman Dorothy Goetz, of Sffolk Conty Local 852. at the CSEA spring convention at the Concord Hotel. Other committee members are Edward c- Greevy, Thomas Elhage, Alice Bennett, Sarah DaRe, Jdy rray, Robert Diecide, James Crrier and Jane O'Connor. areas sch as: allowing members to name beneficiaries, eliminating the necessity for ^overage of part-time and seasonal employees and making membership available to employees who are on the payroll Jne 30, 1976 and who throgh no falt of their own, did not join the Retirement System. these employees throgh the se of the news media that they shold report to. Unemployment Offices for the prpose of applying for benefits when laid off becase of the weather and/or natral gas shortage. The committee's coordinator Is also working with lobbyists from CSEA to amend a bill that has been introdced in the New York State Legislatre. This bill wold grant relief to school districts who were forced to sht down becase of the natral gas shortage and/or adverse weather conditions. The proposed amendment wold ask that relief be given employees who were laid off de to sch natral gas shortage or weather. This relief wold be in the form of compensation to make the paychecks of affected employees whole. In addition, the committee Is seeking the passage of other bills that wold benefit employees of school districts. Sch bills wold Inclde changes In existing laws to provide nemployment insrance for employees who are laid off by a school district, agency shop, last offer binding arbitration as well as other measres that wold have an effect on the employees of school districts. As always, it is the sincere desire of the committee to aid employees of school districts In meeting the challenges that present themselves each year. The committee will, of corse, contine to work toward that goal. In doing so, the committee feels It will be helping the Statewide Organization to provide a mch needed service to Its members In school districts of New York State. (X m PS n cn r m a n pa al fig <s -s 3. VO The Pension Committee Report of October 1976 stated the goals of the Committee to be that of safegarding pensions of present and ftre members and the edcation of CSEA members in the area of what benefits are available throgh the Retirement System. Since that time, the Committee has met and has discssed these goals. The Comptroller's Advisory Committee has met and has discssed approximately 30 bills that will be introdced In the Legislative Session. James Crrier, a member of the Pension Committee who serves on the Comptroller's Advisory Task Force, has reported to the Pension Committee that most of the bills that will be sbmitted by the New York State Employees Retirement System dring the crrent legislative session that were approved by the Advisory Task Force are simply bills necessary to eliminate technical defects In the present law. One bill that can have a positltve and far reaching effect wold be to make permanent the spplemental retirement allowance for retirees. The other bills deal with The Chairman of this Committee has met with the Exective Director of the Retirement System and has discssed possible methods for edcating CSEA members. One of the methods crrently being sed Is a colmn that has been sbmitted to the Civil Service Leader by the Comptroller discssing aspects of the Retirement Plans. In addition, the Exective Director of the iletirement System has assisted this Committee in making arrangements with varios officials of the Retirement System for things sch as seminars, gest speakers at meetings and specific problem solving. The Pension Committee has forwarded information to the Legislative and Political Action Committee concerning Pension Legislation that will be coming p dring the 1977 Legislative Session. Since the fnctions of the two committees are somewhat aligned, we felt it was or dty to serve as a resorce agent to the Legislative and Political Action Committee. I am sre that they will carry ot their fnction regarding Pension Legislation. Social Services Committee Report The toolal services committee report was given by chairman Richard Tarmey, of ontgomery Conty Local 829.' at the CSEA spring convention at the Concord Hotel. Other committee members are Patricia Spied, Grace VaUee, William oann, Haward Qann, Sally Forsyth and Patricia Thomas. Since or last Convention report presented In October, the Statewide Social Services Committee has experienced a significant Increase In reqests from CSEA social services representatives on the local level. As we reported earlier, the generally poor state of the economy was expected to case both the aggravation of some long term social services problems In addition to fostering new problem areas. Dring the last two years, this Committee has offered Its assistance to local departments of social service thh)ghot the State. Unfortnately, or Increased activity with local departments have proved or expectations to be correct. Increased ouof-tltle work aaslgnments, nderstafflng, the failre to Implement mandated program clmges and the general lack of organization ^re some of the recrrent problem areas which seem to have sffered most in the last year. Several relatively new types of problems have also occrred within the last six months. As many of yo are aware, the Title IV-D program was to be Implemented by mandate as of December Althogh proposals have been discssed in the past, for the first time, Erie Conty has sbcontracted for a portion of their social services manpower needs. Althogh first discssed In Jne of 1976, It was not ntil December that a private detective was hired in order to avoid the creation and filling of permanent civil service positions. Althogh we have visited Erie Conty on three occasions, we remain hopefl that or contined efforts will be sccessfl and that permanent employees will eventally be sed In these positions. Steben Conty has sed yet another rather niqe approach in implementing the IV-D program. andated by the State of New York Social Services Law to provide investigative services and limited by CSEA director Ethel Ross (Jdicial), third from left, met with cort employees to discss transition from local to state control slated to take effect this week. Edcation Committee Report The edcation committee report was given by chairman Celeste Rosenkrani. of Bffalo Local 003 (retired), at the CSEA spring convention at the Concord Hotel. Other committee members are Roger Frieday. Richard Flla, Leslie Johnson, ary Lazon, arie Romanelll, Sylvia Weinstock, Stephen Zarod and Irene Amaral. The Statewide Edcation Committee has been actively engaged in.edcation and training activities since or report to the Delegates last Fall. It is very encoraging to see the nmber of Chapter an4 Regional Workshops being condcted throghot the State with particlar emphasis on dties and responsibilities of the collective bargaining agreement In their freedom to assign employees to otof-title work assignments, the Steben Conty legislative body has refsed to create "Investigator" Job titles. In order to flfill their legal obligations, the Conty has been sccessfl In secring the agreement of the Steben Conty anpower Administrator (Steben Conty is a prime sponsor) to fill these positions throgh CETA fnds. Needless to say, we are working against this arrangement in every possible way. Althogh we have highlighted only two problems occrring In Erie and Steben Conties, om' activities have also Involved s In Onondaga, Broome, Albany, Livingston and Chataqa Conties within the last six months. Social services, both on the local and State levels, have always presented CSEA members with some most niqe sitations and problems. We again renew or offer to lend assistance to local departments whenever we can be sefl. If yo shold wish to contact or Committee, please do so throgh Phil iller, Coordinator, 33 Elk Street. Albany, New York. Officers and Stewards. The Steward's anal has been completed and is being distribted to Chapter Presidents who may reqest additional copies from Headqarters. Orders are being filled In order of receipt of reqests, with copies limited to those who are serving as Chapter Stewards or who are planning to become Stewards. This pblication has been very well received, and shold be of great assistance In helping Stewards carry ot their ever-increasing responsibilities. Work is progressing on the pdating of the Chapter Officers anal with distribtion planned after the elections. The Committee Is somewhat disappointed in the distribtion procedres sed for the last pdating of the anal, and agreed that in the ftre, direct mailings to the Chapter Presidents wold be sed. The Committee noted that the Parliamentary Procedres Seminars at recent Conventions have proven to be very poplar with Delegates, and agreed to sponsor the seminar again this Spring. The session is schedled for onday, arch 21, 1977, at the Concord Hotel dring the morning of the Convention's first day bsiness meeting, with Celeste Rosenkranz Instrcting. Considerable attention was given by the Committee to the selection of a topic for the Edcation Program at the Spring Delegates eeting, and it was decidcd that, in view of the critical Isses facing the organization presently, an appropriate discssion wold be "After The Taylor Law What?" The Committee is also concerned with the participation of women in State (^orvice and in CSEA, and will promote their frther participation as mch as possible. Appreciation is extended to Regional Edcation Committees whose efforts have shown great promise in bringing to members in their areas the kind of edcation and training activities they need and deserve.

14 r- r- OS h a r!2 r o: Q C-5 cc ; r/) New CSEii: llocal Will Be Formed By Long Island Cort Workers AITYVILLE Cort employees from Nassa and Sffolk Conties will work for a cort local of the Civil Service Employees Assn. when they becohie state employees April 1. After hearing a description of how a cort local will work within the CSEA system presented by Ethel Ross, CSEA statewide representative for Jdicial employees; Irving Flamenbam, Long Island Region I president, and Pat onachino, collective bargaining specialist cort employees decided to form the CSEA local. Hyde Smith of Nassa and Joe Osman of Sffolk Conty were named by the employees as the temporary officers of the new local. A membership committee was formed to recrit other cort employees as members. Bill Griffin, CSEA field representative. Cort Unit (Contined from Page 1) not yet known how many nits will be in existence, and of whom they will be comprised. Hyde Smith, of Sffolk Conty, whose local nit is also a complete bargaining entity, said he wold like to see his grop retain that stats. Bt no one knows yet if that will be so. Another anticipated problem raised is that travel expenses for cort employees wold be ct. For many workers still fnctionmg nder old contracts, this wold mean a dimintion of already existing benefits. Part of the law governing the transfer provides that the terms of contracts now covering employees wold be honored. The travel ct wold be in violation of that agreement. Ethel Ross, Jdicial representative to the CSEA Board, said things will be "played by ear" for the time being. Bt the ad hoc connittee will contine to schedle meetings to examine these types of nanswered qestions and try to take action, even after the move. PoUiical Action (Contined from Page 16) of money ths far spent by the nion in this program, $47,000, was minimal compared to the amont spent by other grops; bt it was a good start that had to be contined. He defended political action against criticism that it wafa system of political payoffs by calling that attitde naive. "We are not bying votes," he said. "We are spporting the campaigns of legislators who are friendly to s; and we are not spporting the campaigns of those who oppose s." The remarks of r. Langer and r. Roemer came at an edcational form called "After the Taylor Law Where do we go?" held last week dring the statewide delegate convention of the CSEA at Kiamesha Lalce. Generating Analyst List Established ALBANY A prtneliwl generating iility analyit eligible list, reslting from open competitive exam , was established arch 4 by the State Civil Service Department. The list contains 6 names. SAVI A WATT was assigned to the cort local spervisor by Edwin Cleary, Region I spervisor. The evental leader of the cort employees local will atomatically become a member of the exective board of the Long Island Region, and officers of the new local will be eligible to rn for regional office. "There is tremendos excitement among cort employees forming theif own nits and locals becase there is sch a clearct commnity of interest," said s. Ross, who is chairman of an ad hoc committee to stdy the effect of the extraordinary session on cort employees. s. Ross, who has been traveling throghot the state talking to cort employees, explained that in the past, cort employees were nable to have their own CSEA locals becase corts were part of mnicipalities. Under the terms of the Unified Cort Act (Jdiciary Law 220), the State will take over the corts, and its employees, on April 1. Approximately 11,000 people are employed by the conty, spreme, srrogates and district corts and parts of the coimty clerk's offices that will be absorbed by the state. "The problem among s has been commnication. Now, with or own CSEA cort locals, we will be able to respond on a nified front to the office of cort administration," s. Ross said. "Everyone will know what Is going on becase we will have a good exchange of information." fled nanimosly by the nion and approved in a vote of 6-1 by the board. The settlement came several days after an emergency meeting where nion members voted to empower their negotiating team to resort to whatever meas-~ res reqired, inclding a Job action, to secre an acceptable contract. The school board immediately State Bonds Will Finance Bilding At Psych Centers ALBANY The sale of $55 million in state bonds to finance constrction of a new wing at the St. Lawrence Psychiatric Center in Ogdensbrg, New York Psychiatric Institte in anhattan, and other smaller projects has been athorized by the State Pblic Athority Control Board. Specifically, the l)oard allowed the State Hosing Finance Agency (HPA) to market bonds totaling $18,030,000 to pay for the proposed 300-bed facility in Ogdensbrg. Bdget Director Peter C. Goldmark, Jr., board chairman, indicated anhattan's $34.1 million project was inclded in the package to avoid any charges that the board's "early" consideration of the St. Lawrence Conty project alone wold be discriminatory. If the Institte's approval was not inclded with the St. Lawrence proposal, contractors already committed to the sspended New York City project might have broght sit against the state, according to r.

Brke told officials that bids for the North Contry project wold be advertised by the end of next month or in early ay. He said the sale of the HPA bonds to nderwrite the constrction was expected in Jne and that contracts for constrction wold be awarded in late Jne or the first part of Jly. Katherine. ckay, r. Ooldmark's special assistant, said the bdget director told the State Facilities Development Corp., which prepares specifications and drawings for mental health facilities, to proceed on the St. Lawrence project. No delay on the project was anticipated becase the plans had previosly been drawn. She described the constrction target as "conservative," noting that r. Qoldmark thoght the bids and constrction may be nder way earlier than expected. Shenendehowa Unit Wins 3-Year Pact (Special to The Leader) CLIFTON PARK After nearly a year of negotiations, inclding a final week of extreme tension, the Shenendehowa Non-Instrctional nit of the Civil Service Employees Assn. and the Board of Edcation have reached a three-year contract agreement. It was ratibegan preparing for a strike and attempted to gain pblic spport for its position. The CSEA pblicized its demands by sing a mobile crisis commnications center to reach both the pblic and its members. At a reglar meeting of the school board later that week. Capital Region spervisor Jack Corcoran asked members of the board to explain why they were ready to spend taxpayer's money to break a strike when the same fnds cold possibly settle the matter and avoid a strike. The three-year contract, inclding a 16 percent salary Increase and additional benefits, was agreed pon at a sbseqent marathon meeting. The negotiations began in the spring of 1976, with Nels Carlson. CSEA collective bargaining specialist, assisting the CSEA nit bargaining team. Impasse was declared in Agst and PERB appointed Barry Taylor as fact-finder. The fact-finder's report. was issed in Janary. The CSEA nit accepted the fact-finder's recommendations. The School Board, however, rejected the report. Barbara cnamee, nit pblic relations officer, smmarized the whole process by stating, "The sitation called for a determined effort to achieve the memberships' goal, a negotiated contract. The highly coordinated efforts of all segments of the CSEA from local nit to regional and state level showet!l the local school board that the CSEA is ready to negotiate or to take the necessary steps.

Charles E. Leimard, of Schenectady, Is the fact-finder named by the PERB in the contract dispte between the college and the Civil Service Employees Assn. The agreement wold rn from Sept. 1, 1976, to Ag. 31, He proposed wage increases as fouows: arch 1, 1977 a 1J5 percent increase above Ag. 31. Rockland Victory (Contined from Page 4) the decision by r. Cohen set aside. Bt State Spreme Cort Jstice Aaron Klein on arch 18 confirmed the arbitrator's decision. "This Cort has no gronds on which to vacate the bward," he wrote. r. Langer noted that the significance of the nion win is that "Other instittions tliroghoi}t the state have tried to do the same thing to their employees in the Professional, Scientific and Technical bargaining Unit. This shold stand as a warning to them tbit the CSEA doss not intend to let them violate or contract, either regardins the workday ' workweek clase or any other part of it." Representing the workers at the arbitration and at the Spreme CX)rt level was attorney Paline Rogers of the CSEA law firm rates: by Sept. 1, 1977 a $100 cost-of-living adjstment (bons): arch 1, 1978 a $200 increase in base salaries of all employees. r. Leonard pointed ot that he believed that the wage increase plan for the 2-year period "shold meet the needs of both parties and be acceptable to both. The fact-finder made no recommendation regarding the nion reqest for fll retroactivity to S^t. 1, 1976, for all changes hi wages and benefits.

16 I- I- Ov a : Q -f CJ oe c/2 If^ CSEA Delegates Athorize Strike Deadline (Contined from Page 1) most cynical governor in the history of this state." Dr. Wenzl declared that: "State workers have been forced to the wall. They have not had a raise since They have assmed increased workloads becase of redctions in staff. They have been threatened with cibacks in benefits already negotiated. They have seen their pension fnds sed to bail ot the mistakes of others. "And now," said Dr. Wenzl, "they are asked Union Tightens Belt On Fnds: 'Workers Need Every Penny' (Contined from Page 1) half-million dollars a year to beef p CSEA's political weight, the delegates' temper was that "We cannot ask for one more penny from the members ntil we are able to show them a decent contract with a pay increase." Thinking was nearly nanimos that the political fnd shold be set p, bt its rejection was based on timing it now. It will most likely be again reqested at the fall meeting. While it has always been recognized that the CSEA Board of Directors carries the fidciary responsibility for the nion, it has recently been a matter of controversy as to whether the Board or the Delegates is the final arbiter of nion policy. Recently, the Board had voted that it had the final say; this had been done with the concrrence of the CSEA's legal consel. CSEA vicepresident Solomon Bendet, however, disagreed with the Board decision, and raised the isse for determination by the Delegates. The Delegates then voted that they are the primary policy-making body of the Employees Association. (It shold be noted that approximately 10 percent of the Delegates are Board members, too.) r. Bendet also figred prominently in debate as to whether retired employees shold be allowed to serve as statewide officers. The sbject came ot dring the constittion and by-laws committee report presented by Kenneth Cadiex. The Delegates rejected the CSEA constittional amendment by a vote of 1,713 to 271. r. Bendet has a record of service to CSEA rivalled only by the nion's president, Theodore C. Wenzl. Even some Delegates who stated that they did not spport r. Bendet said they believed the amendment was a backdoor effort to dmp him on a technicality. "I don't want to bs sed as a pawn to get at particlar officers," one Delegate said. Dring the corse of the meeting, special mention was made of other prominent retirees who crrently serve in high positions within the nion. Even when Western Region VI third vicepresident Ramona Gallagher moved to exclde incmbent office holders from the restriction, the Delegates still voted down the amendment. Penalties for "condct nbecoming" was another sbject for intense discssion. This, too, was rejected as sbmitted, since it was felt that it cold be sed as a weapon by persons in athority, and wold not be in the democratic tradition of the nion. It was referred back to the constittion and by-laws committee. (It shold be noted here that r. Cadiex, as committee chairman, is not necessarily for or against changes proposed to the delegates. He has, in fact, been known to preside with impartiality on amendments he has been presvned to favor.) A technical revision was voted favorably to change chapter designations to "local." Taylor Law Cold Go After 2-Week Strike KIAESHA LAKE "If the people go ot for two weeks solid, they cold negotiate a new Taylor Law." This remark was made by James Roemer, consel for the Civil Service Employees Assn., dring comments abot what effect the planned April 18 strike by that nion cold have on the state's law prohibiting strikes by pblic employees. r Roemer said that the Governor's bill provides a limited right to strike bt is nacceptable becase it leaves too mch to cort interpretation. That proposal also athorizes state or local governments to drop all benefits agreed to in a previos contract if an impasse is reached while negotiating a new contract. artin Langer, chairman of the CSEA statewide political action committee, said that management personnel were beginning to orgaiuze. "When or people walk on April 18, it is possible that attendance-taking may be sloppy." Strefising the need for strong political action. r. Langer stated that probably the best sbstitte to the Taylor Law wold be Last Offer Binding Arbitration. He.said that becase of the way this procedre is set p both sides make offers and a third party nist decide on one offer or the other 95 percent of sitations are settled before arbitration. The sides move closer to each other becase of the threat that impasse will reslt in arbitration and an nreasonable offer will force imposition of the terms proposed by the opposition. r Langer said that political action was the only viable corse for the ftre sccess of the CSEA. He said that the amont i eontined on Pag* ) to sffer a frther erosion of their pay base throgh a pitifl pay offer that in no way cold offset the erosion of vicios inflation." "CSEA is not forcing this strike," said Dr. Wenzl. "Any sch action will have to be laid at the doorstep of the Governor's mansion. It is Carey who will psh state workers into the street." Dr. Wenzl proposed approval of the strike by polling the entire membership, bt delegates opted for the faster rote of approval for action by the convention body. The Leader will keep its readers informed as ftre action transpires. There is some hope that the Legislatre will provide approval of a pay package acceptable to the Employees Association. Carey cold veto this, however. Shold a strike be ordered, fll details on CSEA strategy and employee participation will be reported in these colmns. CSEA's spring convention trned into a winter wonderland. Here, Szie Bcraenski, left, and Lorraine Krp, both of arcy Psychiatric Center, clear snow from car to check whether it's theirs. An Act Of God (Contined from Page 1) which saw box cars of snow haled ot of Bffalo by train, had probably anticipated a trip soth into spring weather. Few people were dressed for winter. No one was prepared for the 24 inches of snow, which even the local people called, "abot the worst snow anyone remembers." On Tesday, everyone was bsy with meetings. One saw the powder coming down while walking between the Imperial Room, where the delegate meeting took place, and the dining room, at lnch break. In the afternoon the snow didn't look like mch. That evening when the lights went ot in the dining room, people started to wonder. The room went black; then the emergency generators took over, powering spotlights in the corners. The dimness transformed a dining room for 2,000 people into an intimate cafe. Several waiters set Sabbath candles on tables. "It feels like the 'Poseidon Adventre,'" one man said. "If Shelley Winters appears and the dining room starts to list, we're in big troble." The rabbi had read an invocation. Jokes were told at the tables; the kind of joking that comes before recognizing the need for serios prayer. Dignitaries sitting on the dais were Introdced. Some who had planned to attend the convention were stck on the road: no one knew where. After dinner people milled arond the dimmed lobby and passed rmors abot how there was not sfficient power in the axiliary generators to rn the elevators and the spotlights. One person said that he'd heard that there were no secondary generators. "They tap into some other power sorce," he said. "Ye»h, they tap into the Nevele." To entertain, an artist slapped paint on "instant art pictres" of snow, cabins and skiers, and rabbis in holy dress. "y best work. What do I hear? I don't accept less than $100. Fifty? Going once. Sold." Afterwards, bellhops with flashlights gided gests throgh the dark stairwells to their rooms. Abot for o'clock in the morning Ted Wenzl, president of the CSEA, tored the lobbies and darked corridors of the hotel to assess the sitation and see that the members were safe. On Wednesday, the convention heard several weather reports spplied by the state police and was on the verge of voting an extra convention day. Irving Flamenbam, a statewide vice-president, defended the action since the snow, "as recognized in any insrance policy, was an act of God." The people, however, left for home; waded into the Concord driveway throgh several inches of slsh and boarded ble vans to be taken to the parking lots. Along the way, aerials protrding from snowbanks like periscopes from the deep, identified cars. In the lots, plows and tow trcks cleared some paths. The van driver asked, "Who has a bltre Chevy?" "I do," came a voice from the back. The driver pointed to a mond of snow on the left of the van. Two hors later, after a battle to start the car, a tricky attempt to shovel forfoot piles of snow with a plastic waste basket, and with the help of a tow trck, the ble Chevy was ot. Less than 20 miles soth of the Concord there was no snowfall. Roads were clear. It was a convention that will be talked abot at ftre conventions. Battling "an act of God," If nothing else, was easier than battling an act of the Governor.
