Mr. Scderi was a City of Yonkers Board of Edcation employee who received a pink slip in Janary The CSEA sit in his behalf arged that the dismissal was illegal in that he had not been given a hearing prior to the firing. The initial sit, broght in Westchester Conty Spreme Cort, was rejected becase it was held that the sit was not broght in a timely manner. The CSEA carried the isse to the Spreme Cort's Appellate Division, however, which reversed the conty decision and ordered the case back to Westchester Spreme Cort for another hearing. That time, the Westchester cort rled in favor of the Scderi sit and made the large award. The $60,000 represents compensation for back wages, interest on them, and lost fringe benefits. Above, joining Mr. Scderi in smiles over the copy of the cort order are Raymond Cassidy, president of the Westchester CSEA Local 860, center, and Sothern Region attorney Arthr Grae, who handled the litigation. n the second sccessfl Westchester Conty CSEA coi-t action, Christopher Bodalato, seated, checks over an arbitrator's decision reinstating him with a promotion to the staff of the Town of Harrison. Last Dec. 31, Mr. Badolato, then a jnior engineering aide and president of the Town of Harrison CSEA nit, saw his job abolished by town athorities. Harrison officials claimed the move was cased by economic pressres bt no other employee was discharged. The CSEA, citing nion-harrison contract provisions which contain an anti-nion activity discrimination clase and others which protect the stats of most senior qalified individals in lay-off sitations, asked that the matter be broght to arbitration. This move was opposed by the town bt their reqest for a cort stay was denied when Jdge Morris SUfkin ordered the isse to be arbitrated. The arbitrator, Jonathan Liebowitz, then ordered Mr. Badolato reinstated with back pay for his former post and directed that the Town of Harrison promote him to the next senior job.

Nassa Files Sit To Avoid mposed Pact MNEOLA A sit seeking to set aside the imposed contract forced pon employees of Nassa Conty has been filed in State Spreme Cort by the Nassa Conty chapter, Civil Service Employees Assn. The sit was filed in flfillment of the warning given to the Nassa Board of Spervisors by rving Plamenbam, president of the 22,coo-member chapter. The action came as negotiations were opened by the CSEA negotiating team for a 1977 contract, nder a firm deadline for reslts by Nov. 30. Mr. Plmenbam said that the team was "fed p" with the treatment given to employees by the administration of Conty Exective Ralph G. Caso. "The patience and good faith of or negotiating team has been overstrained by the conty's tactics," Mr. Plamenbam asserted. "We lare not" going to stand for it anymore. f there is any sincerity in the conty's position this year, we will know abot it pretty soon. f we can't settle by Nov. 30, then we can't settle, (Contined on Page 3) Ot-Of-Title Grievance Case Won At Brooiciyn DC BROOKLYN Following the filing of a grievance by the Civil Service Employees Assn., the Department of Mental Hygiene has been directed to stop assigning a Mental Hygiene therapist assistant as a spervisor of other employees in the same title at Brooklyn Developmental Center.

A T Leader presstime the political campaigns had hit crescendo pitch. The race between President Ford and (Contined on Page 6) some answers from two state officials on what can be done to bring abot welfare reform in the state. The delegates were drawn mostly from the CSEA statewide social services committee. Charles E. Kelly, director. Brea of Local Agency, Manpower Management, and John Wiley, acting director of the state Litigation Brea, were the officials. Mr. Wiley rged the delegates to carry the message that refsal on the conties' parts to pay their share of the welfare load accomplishes absoltely nothing. "Trying to force welfare reform by refsing to appropriate the needed fnds won't worlc." He said it was a "waste of the state's time" to drag sch cases throgh the corts becase "it is clearly llegal on the conties' parts" and the conties have no chance of winning sch sits. Born n Biparfisan CSEA members in the adience seemed to ngree that frad among welfare clients is a major problem, bt, as one said, "or ability to adeqately jdge and investigate clients as to eligibility has been greatly impaired by a brgeoning caseload clased by nemployment and a lack of personnel to do the job." Mr. Wiley had some good news (Contined on Page 3) Sfrife assigned to spervise for other workers in the same title. Mr. Gripper's complaint held that sch assignments constitted otof-title work.

John Nelson, exective director of the Genesee Valley Grop Health Assn., reminded the grop of the large increases in health care costs n the past 12 years. He also qestioned whether the qality of health care had kept p with those higher costs. Mr. Nelson said that n the Rochester area, it w w decided that there shold be a choice, "rather than the monopoly that has existed in health ce-e. "HMO provides a fll range of comprehensive services. For most consmers, health care has been like having a fishing license no garantee of services. "With HMO yo agree to obtain services from it and in retrn yo pay a fixed amont. Night or day, HMO mst respond. "For physicians. t takes gts to participate, for they sometimes lose referrals. n spite of that, nterest on the part of physicians is growing." Mr. Nelson explained that there s a bilt-in grievance system nder the HMO. He said t takes a greiat deal of money to set p sch a service, "bt the ftre of health care rests with yo, the consmer." How the pieces were pt together n the Albany area was explained by Thomas Blckman, director of commnity relations for the Capital Area Commnity Health Plan. Mr. Blckman said establishing the service wasn't Jst an economic decision, "bt a desire to mprove health care." He said that t was also a goal to make health care available n one place, with access readily available, and with continity of care pls single record keeping. The organizers, he stated, wanted personalized services at 'i reasonable cost and an organization that wold pll them together. He said the Albany HMO has a management grop, a facility nearlng completion, ties with existing facilities and a marketing team. The HMO theme was carried frther by Sam Freeman, director of employee nsrance for the state Civil Service Department. Mr. Freeman saw HMO as an option for "a valable and different kind of medical care. HMO treats the whole person with inter-doctor commnication." Mr. Freeman said HMO offers an alternative to the present system which, he claimed, "encorages treatment yo don't need." He added that within HMO, there s no ncentive to offer care that s not needed. Delegates were told establishing an HMO takes time, effort and money. The program was moderated by Mlarle Soldo, senior program consltant, U.S. Department of Health, Edcation and Welfare.

Manhattan. Sffolk Pact Up For Vote (Contined from Page 1) officer of the Democratic-controlled Legislatre, said that the proposal was in line with the Conty's proposals before negotiations with the CSEA broke down earlier this year. The recommendations of the fact-finders. which did not inclde increments, totaled approximately $12.8 million. The fact-finders' proposals, and Mr. Klein's recommendation to the legislatre to offer the nion 5 percent salary increases,- were nacceptable to the CSEA The Nassa Sit (Contined from Page 1) period," Mr. Flamenbam said. The CSEA lawsit against the mposed contract charged that the Board of Spervisors violated the Taylor Lnw by failing to observe the best interests of both employees and the pblic. Mr. Flamenbam not<^d that the Taylor Law, "althogh it is very stringent in limiting employee rights and rarely reqires responsibility on the part of the employer, it still imposes some i-esponsibilities on the employer." The ksy reqirement on the Board of Spervisors in imposing a nilateral contract is to con- "=lder the best interests of both the employee and the pblic. The sit charges that the Board members made p their minds on the contract to mpose a wage freeze even before condcting the legislative hearings reqired by the Taylor Law. At the hearings, Mr. Flamenbam, CSEA Long sland Region attorney Richard Gaba and fiscal consltant Horace Z. Kramer presented evidence proving the employee need for a pay increase and also that a 6 percent boost wold not necessitate any significant increase in conty taxes. The Board imposed a nilateral contract Oct. 18 providing only a new. flly-paid family health insrance plan for new retirees. becase they eliminated the increment system. " have been mandated to hold the ncrement system by the nit presidents above all else," said James Corbin, president of the Sffolk chapter. The impasse went to the legislatre earlier this month nder Taylor Daw procedres when the CSEA rejected the recommendations by conty fact-finders. The Democratic majority of the legislatre had blamed the Conty Exective of deliberately delaying the signing of a contract with the employees in order to balance his 1976 bdget, with money originally bdgeted for raises and increments, and to embarrass the Democrats in the Legislatre. "t was either this or a wage freeze, becase Mr. Klein had spent the money set aside for the employees' raises and increments," said Mr. Corbin. "For 14 months, the Conty Exective failed to come to any agreement with the nion. He passed the ball to s and we fielded it. think we came p with a soltion that is both in the pblic nterest and in the best nterest of the employees." The settlement will now be voted on by the Sffolk CSEA membership before it is taken to vote by the fll Legislatre on Thrsday, Nov. 9, the day the Legislatre is to vote on Mr. Klein's proposed 1977 bdget. Ballots and a 10-page packet of information were mailed from the CSEA Sffolk office Oct. 29 and will be conted Nov. 8. llllllllllllllllllllllllltlllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllm^ nsrance Rate Changes CSEA insrance rate changes are made on the first payroll in November of each year.

5 Taylor Law Strike Penalties: By JANE B. BERNSTEN MANHATTAN The Pblic Employment Relations Board, in a recent decision, eliminated the atomatic nion des checkoff privilege of the United Federation of Teachers. The penalty wias imposed becase of a week-long teachers strike last year. The penalty was imposed nder provisions of the state's Taylor Law, which governs condct of pblic sector employees. The move has attracted renewed attention to the law and created an additional amont of antipathy for it by pblic employees. The Taylor Law replaced the Condon-Wadlin Law. WhUe t gave pblic employees the right to collective bargaining, it also prohibited strikes by them and imposed specific penalties shold strikes occr. These penalties inclde fines against a nion which sanctions a strike by its members; the loss of two days' pay for each day an individal is on strike, and the forfeitvire of des checkoff for a nion. Normally,, a nion member's des are dedcted from his or her paycheck latomatically. Forfeiting this right presents a nion with the problem of collecting des from individals. t has happened that many nion members do not pay their des dring the period the checkoff is eliminated. Another penalty, perhaps the most controversial, involves the sspension of a striking employee's seniority for a period of one year from the day it has been determined there was b strike. Critics of the law claim its penalties have been enforced inconsistently. According to its history, that claim is not nfonded. Many agencies in mnicipalities throghot New York State fall nder the Jrisdiction of the PERB. According to PERB consel Martin Barr, 130 ot of 160 striking grops of employees have recently been penalized nder provisions of the Taylor Law. nclded lamong these grops s the UFT, which forfeited its des checkoff and two days' members' pay for each strike day in 1967 and This is the third time the nion has sffered the conseqences of a strike. The New York Bridge and Tnnel Officers Benevolent Assn. also falls nder the PERB's jrisdiction. t is now facing penalties of 12 months' forfeitre of des checkoff for its strike last Jne. "n order for PERB to invoke the des checkoff, we mst determine that an organization is to blame for the strike and that t has sanctioned it," Mr. Bansaid. "We mst be certain that t was not a wildcat walkot." Presently in litigation on an Aprtl 1976 strike are Civil Service EJmployees Assn. members who work in Orange Conty. The statewide Association itself cold face fines of p to $200,000 and sspension of des checkoff rights. All school districts in New York come nder the PERB. Those who sffered strike penialties inclde Farmingdale, Massapeqa, Plainview, Bethpage and Levittown, all on Long sland. n other word»s, organizations nder the PERB have been penalized in a fairly niform manner. The inconsistency appears where lassociations find agencies do not come nder the PERB. n New York City, all mayoral agencies fall nder the jrisdiction of the Office of Collective Bargaining. Where strikes occr in these agencies, it s p to the corts to invoke or not invoke the forfeitre of des checkoff. The procedre is somewhat as follows: the chief exective officer of the mnicipality in New York City, this is the Mayor, who is represented by the City Uniformed Sanltationmen's Assn. boks John DeLry rants abot working conditions for his men. At right is nion coiisnltant Jack Bigel. Sanitation nion, which falls nder Office of Collective Bargaining, never lost des checkoff ritehts for strike in late 1960's. nconsistencies Rock Some Union Boats Striking Orange Conty employees march on picket lines last April. CSEA faces exorbitant fines and possible forfeitre of des checkoff as a reslt. Corporation Consel seeks an injnction against the strikers. f the injnction is violated, the strikers may be held in contempt of cort. An assessment of the damages is made, and then the choice lies with the cort as to what penalties it will enforce nder the remedies of the Taylor Law. The Office of Collective Bargaining does not have the power to enforce Taylor Law penalties, and ts director, Arvid Anderson, is of the opinion that sch a power wold not be appropriate. So far. n the history of New York City, no organization nder OCB has ever had to forfeit its des checkoff. The corts have never imposed this measre. Some say the practice of not enforcing it is the most politically expedient, becase of the political clot a nion may have. Hence the complaint, especially in New York City, that nions fond gilty of violating the Taylor Law by struclng are not penalized consistently. Otside of New York City, the Taylor Law permits the establishment of local employment boards, known as "minl-perb," which administer the provlsions of the law. There are 13 of these local boards which cover workers employed by Delaware Conty, Town of Hempsteiad, Town of New Castle, Nassa Conty, Town of North Hempstead, Onondaga Conty, City of Syracse, Syracse School District, Town of Oyster Bay, Town of Rye, Sffolk Conty. Tomplcins Conty and Westchester Conty. The local boards may also se their discretion in invoking Taylor Law penalties for strikers. On Long sland, members ot the Nassa Commnity College faclty senate had tiieh des checkoff sspended for six pay periods n 1972 becase of a 1971 strike. The Valley Stream Board, which has since been disbanded, sspended des for a nine-month period for Maritime Local 342 in 1973 as penalty for that nion's 1972 walkot. These two bdards saw fit to impose the maximm penalties. Not all local boards do so. One sorce, who asked not to be identified, said, "Let's face it. many mnicipalities do not want to mess p a good thing in the way of an agreement between Name Mediators, Fact-Finder ALBANY Two mediators and a fact-finder have been named by the Pblic Employment Relations Board to contract disptes involving pblic sector employers and elements of the Civil Service Employees Assn. n addition, ' the PERB has named Harry G.

N FRDAY, NOVEMBER 5, 1976 Show & Sbstance EW YORK CTY'S contract negotiations with the Patrolmen's Benevolent Assn., are more show than sbstance, as is too mch of the city's financial belt-tightening. Althogh nobody can arge that the city has not dealt strongly with its financial emergency, many of the steps it takes are only reactions to nion cooperation or noncooperation, rather than tre reforms. They are too often designed more for the appearance of retrenchment than for the most effective deployment of resorces. Some agencies, sch as the Sanitation Department, have been able to rehire most of their laid-off workers nder federal Comprehensive Employment and Training Act fnds and city monies, while others, sch as the Police Department, have not been allowed to hire back more than a small percentage of those laid off. The City explains that its policy is to allow departments to hire when attrition exceeds the expected rate. Bt why shold agency manpower levels be based on poor estimates instead of need? The city offered to rehire 400 police officers Nov. 1 only if the nion fnded the rehirings. Mayor Abraham D. Beame acted as if the city were doing the nion more of a favor than the pblic by rehiring the police. So while Sanitation hires withot penalty, hospital workers, probation officers and police officers are forced to finance rehirings of their fellow workers. The disparity angers workers and belies the city's asterity claims. nstead of working to make real prodctivity gains, the city still too often strives for the appearance of efficiency, rather than for a tre revoltion in management techniqes. The police officers who took to the streets to protest what they feel is neqal treatment failed to get their point across. They resorted to show, rather than sbstance, as mch as the city does, and lost. The pblic compared them to the demonstrators that they sally are assigned to control. Bt the police do have a point. n some cases attrition and layoffs have even redced the ability of an agency to collect money and maintain efficiency, as Comptroller Harrison Goldln freqently points ot n his agency adits. Only when t s forced to find extra money does the City hire the employees reqired to collect t. n the Police Department, the City has pshed for glittery changes, sch as taking away 10 days off that were originally given police by former Mayor John Lindsay. There are many more fndamental management changes the City shold be concentrating on. Failre to tighten management reslts in defiance to lower-level changes. The police problem goes to the very root of the City's "ct and then cont" method of fiscal restraint. What s necessary s an ntelligent program for reshaping the city, rather than a blind rsh to asterity. H.B. ^H Qestions & Answers Q. 'm soinir to take my 65- year-old ant and ncle to apply for spplemental secrity income payments. What docments shold they take with them? A. TTiey shold take their blrtli or bapti&inal certificates, olieckbooks, savings accont books, aiocks and boaids, life insrance policies, ato reglathation cards, latest real estate tax statement, last year's income tax retrns and W-2 forms, evidence of all other income, and their social secrity cards. f they have any qestions bbot any of these docments they shold call the social secrity office first. (Contined from Pace D Governor Carter seemed at the closing moments of the campaign to be so close that pollsters Oallp and Harris were hedging their bets. nstead of predicting the winner with confidence. Political pndits, who had for months been hand wringing and lamenting over voter apathy, were bsy revising pwards their estimates abot the total voter trnot. This may indeed be the year in which the voters confonded the pollsters and the pndits. For the first time in many years, the presidential campaign involved two candidates, neither of whom in their past had developed a national constitency. Polls Like A Yo-Yo Many Repblicans who had been passionately in favor of Gtovernor Reagan felt left ot of the political pictre when their favorite was defeated at the nominating convention. Among Democrats, those who passionately spported Senator Jackson, or Congressman Udall, or any of the other early aspirants for the Democratic nomination, were disappointed and frstrated when their favorites fell by the wayside of the prolonged Democratic primaries. As the wonds, frstrations and disappointments were assaged by the passage of time, many of these political activists slowly retrned to the respective party folds. This acconts in large measre for the fact that the pblic opinion polls were jmping p and down like a Yo-Yo. What clearly emerges from this year's experience is that there oght to be a better way of selecting presidential candidates. This bsiness of permitting the handfl of voters in New Hampshire to eliminate presidential contenders in the snows of March is a pretty silly bsiness, since New Hampshire is anything bt a microcosm of the United States. Dring the past year. Congress had before it a nmber of proposals to make the process of the primaries a more rational procedre, and less trying to the energies and resorces of prospective candidates. As it is the present system of primaries is nothing more than an endrance contest. The proposal which was most seriosly discssed in Congress was one calling for a series of regional primaries, condcted on a single date with all states inclded in a specific region. The virte of this procedre is that all candidates wold campaign dring a single period in the New England region, for example, instead of worrying abot a primary in New Hampshire one week and one in Florida following week. the Vice Presidential Selection Consideration shold also be given to the problem of selection of a person to serve as vice president. Under the present procedre, the candidate for vice president becomes the personal selection of the candidate for president. The convention delegates serve only as a rbber stamp to certify the person designated by the presidential nominee. Given the natre of the political process, what the nominee most has in mind in selecting a rnning mate is a person who (Contined on Pace 7) Civil Service Law & Yo ly RCHARD GAiA Mr. Gaba is a member of the firm of White, Walsh and Gaba, P.C., and chairman of the Naawn Conty Bar Association Labor Law Committee. Job Rejection Appeal The Appellate Division, First Department, recently directed the New York City Civil Service Commission to declare an applicant eligible for appointment. This modified a lower cort decision wherein Special Term directed that the petitioner be appointed to the position of probationary police officer. The petitioner took a qalifying examination for a position as policewoman and was called for appointment in On the gronds that petitioner had a history of alcoholism, she was rejected. NTALLY, the Article 78 proceeding commenced by petitioner reslted in the matter being referred back to the respondent for reconsideration. Five separate examinations of the petitioner were had, none of which was able to spport the allegation of alcoholism. The Appeals Cort said that no point wold be served by frther examinations. Respondent has not demonstrated that petitioner had any problem which shold disqalify her from becoming a police officer. Therefore, the Appellate Division said they had no power to order petitioner appointed, bt cold only direct she be added to the list of names for appointment. The appointing athority was directed to reconsider her application. Matter of Mitchell v. Bronstein, M A.D. 2d 942(7). THE COLLECTVE bargaining agreement between the Board of Edcation and the Greenbrgh Teachers' Federation contained a provision with regard to class size. n the Fall of 1974, the nion filed a grievance alleging that the size of certain classes was excessive. The matter proceeded to arbitration, and in Jne, 1975, the arbitrator rendered his decision which consisted of a declaration that the Board had violated the class size provisions of the agreement and directing the Board to cease and desist from ftre violations. The Board moved to vacate the award, and the nion cross-moved to confirm the award. SPECAL TERM of the Westchester Conty Spreme Cort heard the case. The cort vacated the award and denied the cross-motion to confirm the award. The lower cort was of the opinion that the arbitrator's award was violative of pblic policy as expressed in the West rondeqoit Teachers' Assn. case, which prohibited the Board of Edcation from delegating ts responsibility regarding class size and prohibited the arbitrator from directing the Board of Edcation to adhere to contractal obligations with respect thereto. The Appellate Cort n this case disagreed, stating that the rondeqoit case governs only the area of a complsion to bargain collectively. n other words, the Board of Edcation cannot be reqired to negotiate on the sse of class size. There is no bar, however, to volntary negotiations thereon if the Board is so nclined.

May add that this also relates to widows and children of policemen killed in the line of dty. However. Mr. Maye shold have stated that this relates to widows land children of men who were dlled in the line of dty prior to Since that date the widows of men killed in the line of dty received more, as salaries went p. My gripe is the fact that there are a great many elderly who are still sffering from the injries they received in the line of dty: retired firemen and policemen who had to retire prior to They receive a pension of $6,630, which feel is also "a mnificent sm." Most of these men still have wives to spport and, in some cases, children.

Lois Manellino, foreman, state Dept. of Ti-ans-, portation: "n my opinion it's realistic enogh, becase in the past two years, state employees have not gotten any kind of raise. The cost of living has gone p sbstantially in the last few years and think state workers deserve a raise, the way the economy is today with high inflation.

Work Performance And Examinations Committee Report The following is the Special Work Performance Ratings and Examinations committee report sbmitted at the CSEA annal convention last month. CThairman is Samel Grossfield, of Rochester chapter, and committee members are A1 Castaldi, William Gagnon, Carl Garrand, George Kawas, Marjorie Reeves, Llyod Tipton and Robert Weinbloom. On Jly 15, 1976, this Committee met in Albany to discss the controversial isses confronting this Committee sch as continos recritment, post rating review, probation on promotion, provisional appointments pls varios reglations of the Work Performance Rating Program. After establishing an agenda, the Obmmittee proceeded to meet with Civil Service Representatives of the Personnel Services Division and the Staffing and Examination Division. This meeting took place on Agst 10, 1976 at the State Camps. At prior meetings with the Civil Service Representatives, we protested the interfiling of varios lists from the "Continos Recritment Examinations." We reqested a final answer to or reqest for flly exhasting a list rather than interfiling froni later examinations. The Civil Service Representative's answer was negative. The only possible soltion is throgh legislative action or the Civil Service Commission by reqesting that Section 57 of the Civil Service Law be amended. On or proposal for post rating review, they felt it wold slow p promlgation of lists. The only possible soltions are throgh a contract agreement, the Civil Service Commission, or legislative action. CSEA recently lost the cort case on the right of the Civil Service Commission to reqire sccesfl completion of a probationary period for all ntradepartmental promotions withot the right to appeal an "nsatisfactory rating." Since sch probatlonarles can be terminated and retrned to their old position withot a hearing, we challenged this as a weapon n the hands of management to Vet rid of nwanted employees. The Civil Service Representatives sggested that a possible soltion cold be reached by either leglslalatlve action or throgh a contractal agreement. We shall follow p n both directions. The reason they advanced why provisionals remained so long withot an examination being held was de to a lack of staff. They stated that withot additional staff we cold expect no mprovements n this regard. The message also came across that the Eepartment of Civil Service places no restriction on the selection by agencies of provisional and temporaries. This means that administrative lists for provisional appointments are meaningless. We shall discss this frther at ftre meetings. Althogh previos examinations had different "weights" for different qestions, this s no longer tre. Civil Service has changed its policy so that all qestions now carry eqal credit. We registered a complaint abot the practice of giving mltiple titled promotional examinations on the same day. Civil Service defended ts practice on the gronds that the candidate is given extra time when taking several examinations. Also, the Civil Service Department stated that it is more economical to hold several examinations on the same day. We also reminded the Department of Civil Service of long standing complaints abot examination conditions for the typing and stenographic examinations. They claimed that they have corrected some of the conditions and will review the sitation. Or position on oral examinations has been, historically, for their elimination on gronds of too mch sbjectivity. too mch possibility of bias, the lack of anonymity and the lack of validity. This will be part of the agenda for the next meeting. We have previosly qestioned why the Employment Service Conselors were declared ineligible to take the examination for Vocational Rehabilitation Conselor and why the Motor Vehicle License Examiners were disqalified for the Motor Vehicle nvestigators examination. While the Civil Service Department answers indicated the reasons were lack of reqired qalifications, it is or belief that the nderstaffed Civil Service Department s not taking the time to review thoroghly the qalifications set forth by the agencies. Regarding or nqiry as to why a Three members of CSEA Board of Directors representing varios constitencies within Central Region V take time to confer on problems encontered by pblic employees in both the state and the local government Jrisdictions.

Mr. Moore is also president of Utica Psychiatric Center chapter 425 and chairman of the nstittional Unit bargaining team. "Maintenance Helper" with the Long sland State Park Commission had been reclassified to the lower title of "Grondsman," their reply was that a Job analysis had been made which lead to the lower classification. The following topics had been broght p dring or discssions on Work Performance Ratings: A. We expressed dissatisfaction with the vage gidelines for satisfactory and nsatisfactory ratings. Civil Service promised to review these gidelines at the next meeting. B. We reqested the nclsion of an employee organization representative on the Performance Ratings Board. Civil Service will take this nder advisement. C. We qestioned the right of an agency head to overrle the determination of a Performance Ratings Board. Or nvestigations had ncovered the fact that almost all sch actions by the agency head had been in favor of management and against the employee. We are now convinced that only throgh the Civil Service Commission or throgh Legislative Action can this power of the agency head be removed. D. We reqested the Department of Civil Service to advocate a change in the penalties against an employee having an nsatisfactory rating. As it now reads, these penalties are the loss of their increment and their disqalification for promotion for one year. Civil Service did not go along with or recommendations that prior years of excellent service mitigate the penalties. Again, ftre action will have to be taken p with the Civil Service Commission or with the Legislatre. This Committee is planning to meet with the Civil Service Commission very shortly. Report by committee on special election procedres is given by chairman Bernard Schmahl, a former president of Tax and Finance chapter 690.

14 Retiree Committee Report Otlines Legislative Coals The following: is the Retirees Committee Report sbmitted at the Civil Service Employees Assn. annal convention. Committee chairman is Nellie Davis and members are Melba Binn, Florence Drew, John Joyce, William Mensel and Martha Owens. l/f c h U nj cn N«At the 1975 Convention of Delegates in Niagara Falls, Melba Binn, who served as acting chairman of the Committee, sbmitted five legislative goals for approval, for of which were to involve state legislation introdced and spported by CSEA in behalf of the Association's retiree membership. The delegates nanimosly approved each of the proposals which were then trned over by CSEA's Exective Director to the Legislative and Political Action Committee. That committee and their lobbyist recommended that the Retirees Committee's proposals for state legislation be redced to two, namely, a cost-of-living increase bill and a srvivor's benefit bill for pre-oct. 1, 1966 retirees, as it was pointed ot that 1976 wold be a difficlt year for any legislation costing money. The Retirees Committee also accepted the recommendation that they spport the spplemental cost of living increase bill S 270-A which had already been ntrodced by Senator John Plynn, as having a better chance than any new bill of or own. ts companion bill in the Assembly was Assemblyman Stephen Greco's A 1326-A. Also, Senator Flynn agreed to sponsor the srvivor's benefit bill, later S 8806-A. This two-bill plan for retiresj legislation was adopted by the Retirees Committee with the nderstanding that their first priority was to spport renewal of the basic spplemental law reena/'ted in 1975 for the increase in retirement allowances for those who had retired before 1969, whi''h wold expire on May 31, 1976 nless passed again. At the federal level. Congressman Ashbrook's bill HR 1584 providing for a tax exemption of the first $5000 of retirement income, was inclded in the retirees' legislative program. n April of this year, CSEA's president, Theodore Wenzl, sent a newsletter to all retiree members explaining the Association's retiree legislation and rging that all write to their state legislators in spport of the specified bills. There is reason to believe that many thosands of sch letters were written by retiree members. As the State Legislatre ended its 1976 session, the scoreboard showed that CSEA retiree legislation had scceeded on only one cont when on Jly 1, 1976 the Ckvernor signed S A13101 into the laws of 1976, providing an extension of the pre-1969 spplelhental cost of living increase to Jly 1, Senator Plynn's bill S-270-A moved to the Senate Finance Committee and died there, and the srvivor's benefit bill S A did not get ot of the Rles Committee. n retrospect, the Committee feels that the retiree membership's spport of its legislation was vigoros and that the implementation of the goals by CSEA's Legislative and Political Action was for the most part adeqate. From the otset the Committee pnd retiree chapter presidents had known that the State's fiscal condition offered little encoragement for the passage of favorable legislation costing additional money. Also, as expected, crsaders in the media and inflential taxpayers' grops clamoring for pension reform provided a hostile climate for gaining an increase in pblic employee pensions this year. Nevertheless, the personal crisis that most retired pblic employees face becase of soaring inflation made it imperative to seek a costof-living adjstment this year, and will make it more necessary again in Therefore, the Committee sbmits in this report its legislative goals for 1977 for the endorsement of the delegates of this October, 1976 convention, as follows: 1. A spplemental cost of living ncrease, permanently keyed to the consmer price index to cover all retired members of the New York State Employees Retirement System; and that the present cost of living spplement, which mst be re-enacted each year, be made permanent and that the present retirement year ct-off 1968 be extended to inclde those who retired throgh A srvivor's benefit for New York State retirees who retired from state employment before October 1, 1966, for the amont of $2,000, who are the only retired state employees not receiving a death benefit. 3. An extension provided by law of the health insrance plan now covering retirees to inclde a dental health insrance plan comparable to that now enjoyed by active employees. 4. An extension of the health CORTLAND'S RETREES insrance now in effect for New York State retirees to inclde coverage for the srviving spose to the extent of the nsed sick leave money available. 5. Federal legislation modifying the nternal Revene Act of 1954 to provide a tax exemption on the first $5,000 of retirement income. The Committee considers it proper to inclde in this report its views on the matter of membership on this Retirees Committee. Committee members have received comment from members of retiree chapters as to its effectiveness in representing the broad spectrm of retiree membership. The majority attitde has been negative. t has been pointed ot that the Retirees Committee is different in one respect from other CSEA standing committees. t is the, retiree organization's only direct pipeline to CSEA leadership. t is the retirees' conterpart to the State Division and Conty Division exective committees. n this respect the fnction of the Retirees Committee is niqe and important to the retiree membership. Criticism may be jstified insofar as there are only six members, inclding the chairman, on the Retirees Committee shold be expanded to the allowable maximm of eleven members to provide broader representation of the 14 retiree chapters. By regions, retiree chapters are distribted as follows: Region, one chapter; Region n, two chapters; Region in, three chapters; Region V, one chapter; Region V, for chapters; Region V, three chapters. n view of the above distribtion, some retiree chapters feel they are not adeqately represented, and that a handfl of committee mem.bers can hardly be flly responsive to statewide, and especially local, interests of thosands of retiree members from Bffalo to Long sland. The Committee has therefore voted that its chairwoman commnicate with the Association's president, reqesting that he improve the composition of the Retirees Committee by making new appointments.

Approximately 60 retiree delegates participated in the morning and afternoon sessions, with statewide retirees committee chairman Nellie Davis presiding. High on the agenda were discssions of the 1977 legislative program and the enlarging of the statewide committee to provide better representation of retiree chapters within each of the six CSEA regions. Spealters inclded Theodore Wenzl, CSEA president, who reaffirmed his fll spport of the Association's retiree branch. He also endorsed expanding the retirees committee. membership to the maximm permitted by the state constittion. CSEA attorney James Featherstonhagh answered many qestions concerning legislation to be introdced this year for retirees, with interest centering mainly on the spplemental cost-of-living increase which will be drafted in the near ftre. Martin Langer, chairman of CSEA's statewide legislative and political action committee, described in detail the- strategy prsed in this election year by his committee and the political action committees of the six regions. As for retiree legislation to be introdced, both Mr. Featherstonhagh, CSEA's chief lobbyist, and Mr, Langer stressed the necessity of ceeping retiree legislation reasonable and "realistic," and assred the retiree delegates that they wold give their fll spport to the program. There was an nderlying feeling of catios optimism abot achieving the gains hoped for in this coming year. Governor Carey has hinted that he and his negotiators might be more amenable to some kind of cost-of-living adjstment this year than they were last year. n view of this possibility and that is all it now is some of or retiree leaders feel a bit encoraged. t seems that or retirees can fare no better than the nion fares. The retirees committee and retiree chapter presidents will meet jointly at CSEA Headqarters in Albany Nov. 16 to work ot the specifics of the bills to be introdced in the 1977 Legislatre. An organizational meeting was held in Plattsbrgh Oct. 27 to start retiree chapter 916. Present at the meeting were John Corcoran, CSEA field spervisor of Albany Region V, Charles Scott, field representative for the Plattsbrgh area, and retiree coordinator Thomas Gilmartin. Elected as acting president of the new chapter is Melvin Ferns of Mooers. Helen A. Mischler was elected temporary secretary.

The new chapter will hold ts second meeting Thrsday, Nov. 18, at 1:30 p.m. at the Howard Johnson Motor Lodge, Rote 3, Plattsbrgh.

Hgh L. Carey has estimated that the state will face a welfare deficit of $100 million or more this year and said he may call a special session of the legislatre to deal with the problem. The Governor said that newly discovered welfare cost overrns shold shove the amont as high as $175 million, depending on the rate of employment for the balance of this year. At a recent meeting of the New York State Assn. of Conties, a resoltion rging the Governor to call sch a special legislative session was pressed. The Governor had previosly ignored similar calls from other grops. The newly projected deficit in the welfare sector cold case additional ctbacks in other areas of the state's $11 billion bdget. Several conties have moved to freeze welfare expenses this year. Sorces note that at the present time, abot 132,000 persons receive some form of welfare assistance; the state's previosly projected figre w is approximately 100,000 statewide. MORE MSCONDUCT PROBERS The Department of Edcation will increase the nmber of investigators charged with looking into complaints of miscondct among the state's 450,000 licensed professionals. The crrent staff of abot 40 investigators will be dobled, said James Blendell, head of the Department's Brea of Bsiness Management Services. This brea reglates the condct of abot 35 professions inclding engineers, doctors, dentists, accontants, social workers, chiropractors, architects, nrses, psychologists and nrses, among others. t services approxin:ately 3,000 complaints annally. * «MOONLGHTNG BAN Gov. Hgh L. Carey is preparing an exective order placing new restrictions on otside employment by fll time state workers. The order will also provide for new fiscal disclosre reqirements. The order will chiefly affect members of the legal profession who are fll-time state workers bt who also maintain otside practices. The Governor's Board of Pblic Disclosre is also said to be preparing legislation to expand the freeze on otside employment by members of the State Law Department, the Department of Adit and Control, the State Department of Edcation, the State University and the office of the Lietenant Governor. * * * EX-LOTTERY HEAD SUES Jerry Brno, former state lottery director, has sed the New York Daily News for $7.3 million, claiming he had been "effectively destroyed" by stories appearing in that tabloid. Mr. Brno has alleged that the stories, which prported that the pblic was being cheated in a variety of ways by which the lottery was rn, forced Gov. Hgh L. Carey to fire him. He also claims that the stories have prevented him from finding other employment after he was fired last Nov. 27. Mr. Brno, 50, was a former advance man for the late Robert Kennedy and Wisconsin's William Proxmire. The lottery, recently reactivated, was sht down in October of last year and s now headed by John D. Qinn. Mr. Brno alleged in a statement covering his seven-month stewardship of the lottery that he was aware of defects in the system and was working to correct them. RAP NDUSTRY LURES A Repblican-sponsored srvey released recently has criticized state efforts to promote New York State as a desirable place for indstry and bsiness. State Commerce Commissioner John Dyson said the report was "balanced and helpfl" bt added that many of the problems it cites are the reslt of 16 years of GOP state administration. He also noted that many of these problems have been addressed in the 10 months he has served as head of the Department. The report, "Promoting Economic Development: Rebilding the Empire ma?e," is a srvey of bsiness and indstrial promotion efforts in the states. t concldes that there has been a failre to capitalize on the positive aspects of New York State's potential for trade and indstry.
