THE PUBLC EMPLOYEE By DR. THEODORE WENZL President, Gvil Service Employees Association Corbin 6c Klein Battle Marks A l^rpji^iyr^ Activity is the hallmark of CSEA these days. We are on the move! n the corse of battling day-by-day problems, there is an nderlying, relentless, ongoing, total drive toward achieving goals on nmeros fronts. Herewith enmerate ten of these fronts and comment briefly thereon: 1. An pward revision in the state salary strctre is long overde. Or negotiating teams are haird at work in jstifying or case. 2. Or Thr way negotiators are resoltely determined to work ot a satisfactory contract for their members, no matter what the obstacles. 3. The conties represented by CSEA have shown that reslts can be accomplished by i>erseverance and by going the last mile, if necessary. 4. CSEA has stemmed the tide of massive layoffs and a trnabot is now taking place. 5. Or political action strctre, manned by sincere, dedicated members, is now getting key legislators throghot the state to take positions favorable to CSEA. 6. A high-level meeting with the Governor and his aides has been held by yor president and top CSEA officials in pointing ot how to cope with the many problems in the Department of Mental Hygiene from the standpoint of the employee. 7. The Agency Shop concept is gaining legislative spport, thereby making it jst a matter of time for its accomplishment. 8. Retirees are organized in a growing, active branch of the total CSEA strctre. 9. Unfinished bsiness in amending the Taylor Law so that a workable final step in the resoltion of negotiations impasses is being hammered at in all directions. 10. Or Pblic Relations Department is achieving a more favorable image with the general pblic as to the natre and worth of the pblic employee. Yo, as a CSEA Delegate in attendance here at or 66th Annal Meeting can and shold participate to the best of yor ability and shold carry back to yor home membership the spirit of a CSEA on the move!

N. Klein, Sffolk Conty Exective, marked the opening of a Legislative hearing on the CSEA-Conty 1976 contract last week. After hearing CSEA demands, and a statement of the conty's position, Floyd Linton, presiding officer of the Sfwhen it mst adopt a new bdget for A dispte over the athority of the Legislatre to act other than to impose a one-year contract occrred when Mr. Klein stated that he alone has the right to negotiate contracts. This was hotly contested by Mr. Corbin and CSEA attorneys, who claimed that not only does the Legislatre have the athority to negotiate directly with the nion, bt that Mr. Klein had negotiated a settlement with the CSEA at a prior Legislative hearing. The CSEA demands are: a 10 percent across-the-board salary increase; increments; longevity increments; longevity bonses, and a cost-of-living adjstment based on the federal Consmer Price ndex.

"A look at many of the resoltions passed at Miami Beach by the AFSCME indicates how far ahead the CSEA is, and has been, over the years in relation to or so-called pblic sector rivals," Mr. McDermott stated. "The CSEA is the largest independent pblic employee nion nationally. While the varios factions within the AFL-CO contine to fight over the pblic sector representation, and while the sectors within the AFSCME take an inordinate time to focs in on certain goals of pblic employees, the CSEA has addressed these isses or esposed new, novel approaches years ahead of these so-called labor giants. "Look at some of these resoltions the AFL-CO finally passed after the CSEA developed them: "Opposition to contracting ot of any pblic work which has been traditionally performed by pblic employees; the CSEA's been fighting.that 'battle for years.

MNEOLA The Nassa Conty chapter, Civil Service Employees Assn., will open negotiations in behalf of 14,000 conty employees for a 1977 contract Oct. 21 with a firm, early deadline for settlement. The chapter, officials said. have arranged a heavy schedle of negotiating sessions of a minimm of seven meetings dring November following the opening rond this month. "f there is no agreement by Nov. 30, we will go to fact-find-' ing," declared rving Plamenbftm, president of the chapter. Mr. Flamenbain is also president of OSEA's Long sland Region. Mr. Flainenblain said the CSEA will demand a sbstantial wage increase to help employees catch p with inflationary pressres. Mr. Plamenbam added the CSEA negotiations steering committee memibers "were disgsted" at the conty's stalling of negotiations last yeiar, "and this year, which wond p in fact-fliidhi«r and then in legislative determination for imposed contracts. "The conty has got to come p with a sbstantial offer," Mr. Flamenbam asserted. "We hope it s realistic and that we can reach an agreement, bt, in no case are we going to be horsed arond throgh months and months of meaningless negotiations.

5 By JANE B. BERNSTEN N any election year, as in this one, there is mch talk of campaign contribtions how mch? how are they spent? and are they above board? Labor has been accsed, as in the present race for the presidency, of exerting pressre on candidates throgh spport and financial aid. Bt withot name-calling, and discssing promises of retrned favors, how may nions organize to show spport throgh service and fnds for a candidate for pblic office? A nion's role in dealing with campaign contribtions is governed and limited by the same mandates of the Elections Law as are all grops and individals. And these are very strictly spelled ot. n a state election, local chapters of a nion in a region generally form a political committee, which, according to the definition of the law, is a grop of "three or more persons who cooperate to aid or promote the sccess or defeat of a political party or principal." The committee mst choose a treasrer, whose job it is to make expenditres and file sworn statements docmenting them. The statements mst inclde the amonts of contribtions received, the names and addresses of persons or political nit represented by the committee, the dates of receipt of money, and the dates and prposes of all expenditres made by the committee. n addition, the treasrer's name, pls the names of three persons who chose him or her, mst toe filed with the Secretary of State's Office shortly after the committee has been established. The only item that need not be acconted for is expenditres of less than $5, nless the money is sed to pay political workers, watchers or messengers. Financial statements mst be filed 10 days before an election or primary, 20 days after the election or primary, and, if the election does not signify the end of political activity, a final statement mst be filed on Jan. 2 of the year after the election. n a state election, records mst be filed with the Secretary of State. For elections only within New York City, they mst be filed with the New York City Board of Elections. For town or village elections, statements mst be filed with the office of the town or village clerk. A committee's receipts mst be maintained for at least 15 months after an election. Violations of the law involving filing of statements may bring penalties of p to $100 in fines in civil proceedings. ntentionally falsifying statements constittes a Class A misdemeanor, which cold bring a jail term. Civil Service Employees Assn. attorney James Featherstonhagh says most com- Civil Service Employees Asm. attorney James F^therstonhangh says imintentional violations of election law inclde tardiness in filing items other than cash. mon violations nclde tardiness n filing statements and making ot the forms* mproperly by not stating all contribtions. Even if a committee contribtes posters, filers or brochres, these mst be assigned a market vale and be inclded n the statement. The amont of money that may be contribted by a nion depends on two things. First, since the dollars come ot of the nion chapter's fnds, ts members are limited by how mch they can afford to take ot of the chapter's treasry. Second, according to the election law, the sm of 50 cents for each voter registered may be donated. n a primary, only those persons registered n each district from a candidate's party may contribte. n specific elections, certain amonts have been set. For an assemblyman, the political committee may follow the above HOW MUCH MAY UNON MEMBERS PARTCPATE N POLTCS? formla, or contribte no more than $25,000, whichever s greater. There is a $40,000 limit for a state senator, and $2,500 limit for a district office. A corporation or a jointstock association, sch as the Civil Service Employees Assn., nc., may contribte only $5,000 annally to campaigns. Within the CSEA, the only chapter that s considered a corporation and s restricted by the law s the Westchester chapter Association. Where an agency or allnion shop exists, sch as with the National Edcation Assn. n New Ygrk City, members may be granted a pro-rata rebate figred on the percentage of money that is being contribted to a campaign. (This protects a nion member from being forced to donate ot of his des to a candidate, if he or she does not wish to do so.) These rles govern only a statewide election. A federal election, inclding a presidential, congressional or senatorial race, is mch more restrictive. A nion's political committee may raise only "hard money." That s, money which s raised throgh ndividals volntarily. Fnds may not be taken ot of a nion treasry. One nion representative, whose nion is selling Carter/Mondale bttons for $1 each, said the money to obtain the bttons had to be raised before they were prchased. This is the case with any type of federal campaign contribtion or service, inclding T-shirts, brochres, dances, etc. The money cannot come ot of the general fnd. Mr. Featherstonhagh said when state political parties hold fnd-raising dinners, all tickets inclde the inscription that no money reslting from the dinner will be sed for federal elections. "Committees mst be very carefl to report where money is being spent," he said. "The laws are strictly enforced, becase in past years, contribtions have been more freqently in cash than in services." Name Mediators, Fact-Finders A^BANY Two mediators and two fact-finders have been named by the Pblic Employment Relations Board to contract disptes nvolving the CivM Service Emiployees AfiSH'. The mediators are Theodore Gerber, of the PERB's Albany office, appointed to the dispte between Saratoga Conty and the Saratoga COnty CS 1A sheriffs deptixtanent nit, and Prank McOowan, of the PERB's New York City pffice, to the dispte between CSEA and the Westchester Conty Town of Somers.

FRDAY, OCTOBER 15, 1976 Political Action T may be a long, long way from May to December, bt the days are growing short till November 2. And it's time for labor to stop pondering political action and make that final all-ot attempt to elect pblic officials who will best serve its interests. And why sholdn't it? For years, big bsiness, becase of its financial stronghold, has kept the inflence coming strong and steady. And when one considers that labor, not the wealthy corporations, represents the majority of the employed in this contry, it wold seem that it has as mch, if not more right, to take advantage of an election year. One hand does indeed wash the other. Bt in this democratic society where the few represent the many, sholdn't the many have the choice of who those few are going to be? Political action is not only appropriate... it's essenlial. (J.B.B.) Job's A Job HE Beame Administration has offered laid-off New York T.City Police officers the chance for temporary employment as parking enforcement agents. We applad the city's attempt (however small) to get at least some police back to work. We also believe, althogh the job is a drop in position, that it is more honorable to be offered employment and to accept it, than it is to be ot of work. Many former police officers were complaining that private indstry employers were relctant to give them jobs, fearing they wold leave as soon as word of recall came from the cfty. This problem disappears when the new employer is the city. (J.B.B.) A Age-Old Story MERCANS have gained a reptation for ptting "older" citizens ot to pastre throgh forced retirement and age limitations, nlike their conterparts in other areas of the world. This practice cold srface in the Civil Service Employees Assn. if the proposed change reqiring the retirement of statewide officers over 68 years of age is added to the nion constittion. And speaking of constittions, or rather constittionals, former President Harry Trman was in office when the twoterm White Hose limit was passed. Bt as the incmbent he was excepted from the law, and, had he desired, cold have given the American people hell for another term. n other words, the present statewide officers shold not be affected, even if the delegates vote for the amendment. Another thoght to kick arond: Shold they be prevented, becase of age, from rnning for state office after many hard years of working their respective ways p throgh the ranks? Consider that overworked adage, "Experience is the best.. etc. (J.B.B.) giiiiiiiiiiiiiiitiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiniiiiiiiiiitiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiniiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiitiiiiiih Qestions & Answers Q.

(Contined from Pate 1) Governor Carter seems to have slipped badly, both in the poll.s and according to the refined instincts of professional politicians. The Repblicans are worried, becase by the same standards, President Ford has not conie p fast enogh and far enogh. n light of the best available intelligence, it conseqently appears to the political leaders that the race will be a tight one, not only in the poplarity retrns, bt also close in the more critical electoral vote. Polls Flctate Part of the problem reslts from the fact that the pblic opinion polls seem to be fnctioning like a roller coaster, with major ps and downs that cannot be acconted for by any significant major isses. A stranger from oter space, looking at the campaigns as they have ths far developed, might well decide that it is a contest between a candidate for President who discsses his sexal fantasies in pblic and a member of the Cabinet who tells vlgar, racist jokes in private. Even the debates between the Presidential candidates are scored like sporting events. Within moments after the debates are over, Walter Cronkite and Harry Reasoner pontificate abot who won. Last week Carter scored points for aggressiveness; in the first debate, he lost points for timidity. With that kind of scoring, the final debate between Ford and Carter promises to be a real hmdinger, with each trying to be n:ore offensive than the other. The other part of the problem is a prodct of the new financing law, nder which the candidates are not permitted to accept ^ private campaign contribtions, and expenditres are closely monitored by the new Federal Election Commission. Campaign Restrictions Since Ford and Carter are each limited to expenditres that may not exceed $21 million, the visal campaign hoopla of bmper stickers and bttons are ot the window. t took a cople of weeks for Congressman Edward. Koch to get permission from the Election Commission to distribte canr.paign bttons reading "Carter Mondale Koch." Assemblyman Joseph Margiotta, in deep disgst, was compelled to paint ot the names of Ford-Dole from billboards rging Nassa Conty Repblicans to vote for Repblican local candidates, inclding Ford and Dole. The limitation on expenditres has severely crbed the normal campaign activities that the professional politicians are familiar with, and on which they rely to bring ot the vote on election day. t may indeed be that the apathy that seems to afflict the voters reslts from the fact that there s veiy little local evidence of an election for President coming arond the corner. Under the circmstances, the pollsters may be in for a rde awakening when the votes are conted. Where there is apathy, those who vote have intense feelings abot a candidate, one way or the other. However, the samples sed by the polling organiiiations do not nr.easre intensity, so that their samples may trn ot to be an inadeqate reflection of those who do bother (Contined on Pace 7) TOO MUCti W ST/iTSr SCf/OOL. "THAT'S MY BOY" Civil Service Law & Yo y tcharp GABA Mr. Gaba is a member of the finn of White, Walsh and Gate. F.C., and ofaainnan of the NaaaRV Connty Bar Aaweiation Labor Law Committee. A Probation Case A recent decision of the Appellate Division, Third Department, involved an interpretation of the period of probation rle. Section 4.5 of the Rles and Reglations of the New York State Department of Civil Service. That rle reqires a minimm period of eight weeks and a maximm period of 26 weeks for a probationary term. N THS CASE, each of the petitioners was appointed to a permanent position in the State Department of Social Services sbject to a probationary period of not less than eight weeks nor more than 26 weeks. The certificate of ap- )Ointment stated, however, that the appointment wold not become permanent ntil completion of the maximm period. After the completion of the minimm eight-week period, bt prior to the completion of the 26-week period, the petitioners were discharged from their positions. They alleged in Special Term that their positions became permanent after the completion of the minimm eight-week probationary period. The lower cort held in favor of the petitioners, and the Department of Social Services appealed. THE DEPARTMENT CONTENDED that the notice contained in the certificate of appointment was sfficient to establish a 26-week probationary period. The Cort of Appeals, however, in the Albano case, held that the civil service rle cited above reqires a minimm period of eight weeks, and that the original appointment may not initially impose a period of 26 weeks. However, in this case, the petitioners received a written report prior to the expiration of the eight-week period to the effect that their probation wold be contined. Permanent stats cold not be acqired, therefore, ntil the expiration of the 26-week period, nless the department gave earlier notice of sccessfl completion of the probationary period. * 4> * N THE ALBANO CASE, the cort pointed ot that the prpose of the minimm period was to provide an opportnity for the probationary employee to demonstrate his capability. The overall prpose of the probationary period is to give the appointing athority a period within which to determine whether or not the employee s performing satisfactorily. There s no langage n the rle which limits extension of the eight-week probationary period only to the reason that the probationer s ncompetent or that his performance s nsatisfactory. Accordingly, the Appellate Division reversed Special Term and dismissed the petition. t row appears to be abndantly clear that (a) the nitial period of probation cannot be set for the maximm period of twenty-six weeks, (b) the employee is entitled to at least eight weeks to perform on the job, (c) the eight-week probationary period may be extended in writing, (d) the employer may make the employer permanent prior to completion of 26 weeks, (e) the eight-week period may be extended withot giving any specific reason therefor.

7 afs Yor Opinion By PAMELA CBAO 9UEsnoN As a pblic employee, what mggettions coid yo make to improve working conditions in yor office? Edith Caneellieri. claims examiner: " feel that a yery ffood way to improve the working conditions in the city, state and federal agencies is to take a test when yo first go in, and then proceed on merit. Un- ^ ^ fortnately, most people who are able to pass an exam are nable to do the work properly. This is not fair. 've been with the state for 34 years and, nfortnately, 've never been able to pass an exam. freeze on tests, yet do the work very well. resent people coming in after they have passed the exam and then are nable to perform their Job properly. They are receiving pay for a job 'm doing now, bt 'm not getting paid for it." Emma Rssell, payroll adit department: " think we shold all try to set good examples for others to follow. really feel that am working p to my optimin. don't waste time as a worker. start working as soon as the day starts ntil time comes to go home. feel that more work wold be done if everyone adhered to a fll eight-hor day. As far as the exams go, feel they are fair. took the spervisor's nderwriting exam and didn't pass it becase failed to stdy properly. Next time, 'll read the material the test covers more closely." Cathy Napolitano, clerk: " think one shold have a good attitde, cooperate with co-workers and have a good sense of hmor. The right attitde trns one's work into a pleasre. j^ enjoy my job very mch.

TH PLACE Msnliatton OPNONS gjhhhhinilllnutllhnuutlhhuhilliffllhulin Letters To The Editor A Proposal Editor, The Leader: A nion which is jvist represents all grops in its midst to its fllest ability. t is common knowledge that all employers do not give eqal pay for eqal Jobs. The State of New York has made second-class citizens of their health workers. Pharmacists' starting pay s $5,000, or one-third less in state hospitals, than in New York City volntary and mnicipal hospitals as well as in retail pharmacies throghot or state. Other Job categories are also nderpayed, bt none more absed economically than pharmacist. t is hoped that the reason that this sitation exists s not becase they are one of the smallest minorities fond in or nion, the Civil Service Employees Assn. Workers who serve Medicaid and Medicare patients shold have medical, dental prescription coverage which has no dedctibles and which will incr no expense at all to the worker when he or she needs services. n addiuon, it is advisable that there be an optical plan that covers eye examinations as well as coverage for glasses every 18 months. For professional and technical workers, for weeks vacation after one year of service and five weeks after five years of service will bring New York State workers p on an eqal plane with many other health workers from other nions. A health professional magazine for or colleages may be needed to keep s nformed abot what is happening n other state health facilities. t may be advisable to set p professional committees for each professional category to plan Joint professional conferences, seminars for edcational endeavors and sponsor new legislatre beneficial to the professions. An approach of this caliber may be necessary becase members from different Job categories wish to express opinions and make sggestions throgh a more direct line of commnication to or leaders. Acting on sch sggestions may be vital n stimlating a postre which is needed to make or nion more Dorrie Lloyd, claims examiner: "What think wold be most effective is to c involve the principles of private enterprise in civil service. Otherwise, there is hardly any incentive for people who perform well. Once people has passed a probation period, they are in for life, and my observation has been that very few fall to pass. People less competent than others are treated no differently. The exam has little to do with competency, yet the civil services exam is the criterion for all career and salary movement. don't have the same incentive as workers in private indstry." UY U.S. londs Evelyn Parker, senior claims examiner: "They shold get rid of the dead wood who are not interested in prodcing and keep only the interested employee. n private indstry, if yo do not prodce, then yo are fired, becase yo are not needed. feel that a boss shold be able to fire employees who have no interest in performing their jobs. f they don't do their work. can't do my work. f mst watch my employees. how can possibly do my work? don't need a worker who sits, Jst to receive a paycheck." Cecelia Waage, clerk: " think the whole civil service system is antiqated. We need the compters to move in; otherwise we'll go bankrpt. We have a high percentage of cooperation here, thogh never 100 percent. Yet, the system is so inefficient that it's very difficlt to cooperate.

Bernard Oliver Willard Widows Awards Editor, The Leader: With great nterest, we read that New York City Comptroller J. Harrison Goldin recommends to the Board of Estimate approval of a Good Samaritan Award to Mrs. Gloria Pirone as a reslt of the death of her hsband in Bellerose, Qeens, when he went to the aid of a yong girl in a fight. We are not opposed to the award, which is estimated to be $8, per year. We want to point ot, however, that the widows and children of firefighters killed n the line of dty, saving lives and property, receive and live on pensions of $4,200 per year hardly a mnificent sm. As sre as Mrs. Pirone is in need of spport for her family, so are the families of firefighters who give their lives for their fellow New Yorkers entitled to the same eqitable consideration. Michael J. Maye Manhattan RETREMENT NEWS & FACTS Pension y A. L PTtS Several states exempt state and local pensions from state income tax. n New York State this is indirectly part of the State Constittion. n the State, there are abot 117 systems, each with different benefit plans and payment arrangements. Several advisory services are rging that these be trned into one plan to inclde teachers, firemen and policemen, all of whom develop plans on their own. Sch a statewide plan wold embrace the many local plans, some of which are now administered by the State; the New York City plans there are five and several miscellaneos grop plans. Critics feel this wold eliminate the whip sawing competition for benefits not related to special grop needs and wold simplify and improve the administration of the plans. The nternal Revene Service holds that benefits de to pblic employee retirees are sbject to income tax nless the plan qalifies nder standard reqirements of the RS code. Plans don't qalify if: * An investment income is sbject to federal income tax. The employee is sbject to tax on the employer contribtions for social secrity after the point of vesting has been reached. The employee s crrently taxable on nterest credits on his contribtion. * Lmp sm distribtions are treated as reglar income. For most state and local employees, these factors don't enter into the pictre becase the state itself cannot be taxed. n practice, the RS has not enforced collection of income tax on present payments. f RS shold try to collect on these, it wold face the qestion of assessing state and local Jdges becase of their own sperior benefits. The problem has arisen only in the few instances where the state or local system has asked for a written opinion. Up to now. Congress has not clarified this isse. * «f yo are over 65 there are several exemptions for yo when yo sell yor home. Ordinarily the difference between the cost (Contined from Page 6) to vote. Coattails Ct Off Another distrbing element in the sitation from the viewpoint of the political organizations is the fact that the lack of federal fndings will compel local candidates to rn virtally on their own. This wold eliminate the coattall effect of a national campaign on which local candidates always depended, particlarly in marginal districts. This absence of a coattail effect is not likely to have a significant mpact pon the race for United States Senator between Exemptions of the hose and the amies price is taxable as a eapiul gain.

10 ON rt fh h O -o a b g > tn CSEA's Brch Assails NYDOL Policy For Administrative Aides ALBANY Pal T. Brch, collective bargaining specialist for the Civil Service Employees Assn., attacked the New York State Department of Labor last week for gidelines issed for recriting individals for 79 new positions as employment service assistants. n a letter sent to the Labor Department's director of personnel, Mr. Brch called the employment service assistant program "a proposal designed to reach only a certain few people and this amonts to total discrimination against competent employees among others in favor of a few." The newly created jobs in qestion are varios WN offices of the Department of Labor. The Job specifications describe the program as "designed as the entry point for qalified paraprofessionals to become flly qalified Employment nterviewers, throgh a for-year training program." Appointments at the first level will have beginning salaries of $8,523. The Department has specified that applicants for the jobs have two years' agency experience in activities in the manpower services field, or development ot employment opportnities or job placement conseling. Persons with clerical or secretarial experience in manpower, social work activities and teaching or instrctional dties will not qalify, according to the Department. "This is a deliberate attempt by the Department to arbitrarily eliminate many state employees from getting these positions by reqiring applicants to have experience sally fond in commnity, non-profit agencies," Mr. Brch said. "Yet, the job annoncement flly describes an extensive for-year training program, which ncldes the completion of 60 college level credits paid for by the Department. "Since the program s completely controlled by the Department of Labor and the Department of Civil Service, we maintain that those agencies are deliberately closing the door on many otherwise qalified state employees who cold be sccessfl n this field, given the edcational opportnities as otlined n this program," Mr. Brch said. Calls AFSCME Behind Times (Contined from Page 1) government throgh a progressive tax system and to achieve appropriate level services delivered in an effective and efficient manner; the CSEA has had experience in this area also, more than the APL-CO. "RepeaJ of all remainirig state and local restrictions on volntary political lactivity by pblic employees on their own time, inclding prohibitions on volntary political contribtions; the CSEA has been involved in action against political activity restrictions of pblic employees for a decade, bt the AFSCME's jst getting started now. "Seeking passage of legislation enabling nion secrity and especiially endorses the approach which provides atomatic agency shop for exclsive representatives; the CSEA's been battling for this each and every year and we will keep the battle going ntil we win. "Little do or members realize the forward thinking and acting nion they have in the CSEA and how far behind the times the AFL-CO is in pblic sector nionism." Mr. McDermott credited this CSEA pls to the fact thiat members actally rn CSEA. He also pointed ot a recent bxisiness research report noted that from 1960 to 1974, viiondzatlon of white collar working force. nclding civil service, increased to abot 40 percent, a percentage sbstantially above that of other nloned workers. "A great lamont of white collar increased growth, from 2.2 million to 5.9 million, are the pblic sector pveople and the international nions are after the pblic sector as a large, ntapped sorce of des money. This can explain why the AFL-CO is so interested in pblic sector employees. They never were interested in s civil servants before, now that they are, they look to the well estiablished independents like the CSEA for workable gimmicks to sell their new membership. "t's too bad or CSEA members haven't been more aware of nion isses over the years, he contined. "Otherwise, they wold recognize all this gamemenship by the AFSCME and the Service Employees nternational Union." Mr. McDermott, a CSEA vicepresident, conclded, "The CSEA might have internal organizational or administnative problems de to its growing process, bt t certainly never was behind the times in being nnovative. The AFSCME resoltions are 10-year-old CSEA ideas." Varacchi Of Stony Brook SUNYFilesATaxpayerSit STONY BROOK A1 Varacchi, president of the State University at Stony Brook chapter. Civil Service Employees Assn., has filed a taxpayer's sit against SUNY charging "a systematic evasion" of the civil service rles. Mr. Varacchl's sit accses the Stony Brook administration of fnneling higher pay to "favorites" while the mass of employees remain nder the state wage freeze. Elimination of the abses, he alleged, cold save $2.7 million a year at the Stony Brook camps alone. The sit attacks a practice of allegedly promoting favored employees to non-coxpetitive titles as "non-teaching professionals," who freqently perform the same dties as other employees bt who reap sbstantial pay increaises. "These positions are given becase yo are a friend of a friend or becase yo are somebody's drinking bddy," Mr. Varacchi declared. "We are charging that they are violating the merit and fitness reqirements of the State Constittion. The lawsit was prepared by CSEA Albany Headqarters staff attorney Marjorie Karowe and served on SUNY last week. t s to be heard n AUwiy Spreme Cort. Mr. Varacchi cited these examples of abses at Stony Brook: The wife of a non-competitive exective was promoted frox a classified civil service position to an NTP title. Her pay increased from $7,670 to $8,303 immediately, to $9,000 in December. $9,500 the next March and to $10,000 by next September. n another case, an employee in a State Grade 14 position was reclassified into an NTP title, with a pay increase of $1,400. A former stores clerk, paid at $10,000, was re-titled an NTP as a "crator," with his salary going from $10,000 to $15,000. Mr. Varacchi said the CSEA research team had identified 300 cases of sch abse at Stony Brook alone. "We have information ndicating the practice is widespread throghot the State University system," he asserted. Ms. Karowe said the NTP classification had been created by the Legislatre at the behest of former Gov. Nelson A. Rockefeller, in order to help to lre certain key employees from other niversities. t was intended, she said, for policy-level position. However, over the years, the NTP title has been defined with an increasing looseness. Now, she said, evidence abonds of NTP positions for which the job descriptions matches that of a classified civil service clerical title, bt with higher pay. The sit asks the cort to order SUNY to lur.it se of NTP titles to professional employees actally performing edcational dties; cancel all illegitimate NTP titles; provide promotions by competitive examination, and refnd to the state all excess money paid to persons improperly Utled. mproper Practice Charge Now Considered By North Tonawanda Signals Unit NORTH TONAWANDA Assn., which r presents North ment employ es, schedled 7:30 p.m., Wednesday, Oct. 13, improper practice charges against the City with the Pblic Employment Relations Boaixi. The charges are in connection with contining problems in that department over availability of depiartment personnel after normal working hors. John Woloszyn, president of the CSEA nit, said the meeting shold also give the pblic a clearer pictre of the problems. "So far. the workers have been made scapegoats for management decisions," Mr. Woloszyn said. "t isn't fair." Mr. Woloszyn said he objected to pblished acconts of problems encontered with the fire aliarm system dring the Labor Day weekend. Alderman John Brzozowski, chairman of the Common Concil's signal committee, said he and one department employee were forced to con^ct 25 to 35 interrptions in the absence of the signal spervisor or an on-call list. Mr. Woloszyn prodced a copy of a Jne 25 memorandm signed by signal spervisor Roger J. Brath to depiartment employees discontining the previos "oncall" list, which inclded all 14 The Civil Service Employees Tonawanda Signal Departa membership meeting at in City Hall to discss filing department employees, replacing it with a seven-person emergency call-list. According to the distribtion note at the bottom of the memo, copies were sent to Aldeiman Brzozowski as well as Alderman Anton Horvath and city attorney James Rogers, Mr. Woloszyn pointed ot and also indlcaited that the memo said the new list "will be posted at Police Headqarters. "We said the old system was better, bt they changed things. Then they try to make s look like the 'heavies' who are casing the problems. As far as we're concerned, they shold go back to the old system. t worked," Mr. Woloszyn said. EN CON ALBANY Commissioner Peter A. Berle of the Department of Environmental Conservation annonced the promotion of Harry H. Hovey, of North Oreenbsh, as director of the Department's Division of Air Resorces. Mr. Hovey has been acting director of the Division since April. Before that he served as associate director for nine years. Corbin And Klein n Clash (Contined from Page 1) way at Happage Conty Center, more than 500 CSEA members picketed the bilding. The legislative hearing, the final step in the Taylor Law process, started on Oct. 8. t is the first hearing condcted in Sffolk since the conty was changed to a representative board of legislators in The rejection of the fact-finders' reports was nanimosly voted by the CSEA nit leaders at ta meeting condcted in Sffolk nion headqarters Oct. 1. The fact-finder for the blecollar nit recommended 4.5 percent salary increase. The whitecollar fact-finder recommended a 5 percent salary ncrease and ia half-percent of salary for administrative programs and adjstments. Rejecting the reports. James Corbin, president of the chapter, said that after the fact-finders' reports were received in late September. sbseqent negotiation with the conty proved fritless. Since he was obliged to indicate acceptance or rejection within 10 days of the receipt of the report, he was forced to reject them. "After 'rond-the-clock sessions, the best the conty cold come p with wtas a half-year increment this year and a halfyear ncrement next year, as well as ctting the $1,000 bons for senior members in half for both years. We held the line for ncrements. No matter what the salary offer they made, nder those conditions, we voted to reject," Mr. Corbin said. Mr. Corbin explained tlnat the Legislatre will have two choices to make in settling the contract: "They can negotiate a new mlti-year contract with s or they can impose a contract for one year against or wishes." n imposing a one-yeiar contract nder the provisions of the Taylor Law; the 18 Sffolk Conty legislators cold adopt the terms of the fact-finders' reports, or impose a contract of their own design. "The increments were the sticking point of the negotiations," said Mr. Corbin, "and we have made that clear to the legislators. We are convinced that, by having or case jdged by men who are closer to the grass roots of the commnities in which many of or members are constitents, we will receive fair treatment," he added. Negotiations in Sffolk began in September 1975 and broke off in December of that year when the Conty sspended the increment for 1976, saying that, since a contnact was not in effect, increments wold not be paid ntil all other isses were settled. The CSEA filed a sit on the ncrement isse that is still pending in the Appellate Division. Pact-finding began on March 31. This dragged on over six months, with the conty claiming conflicts and, sometimes, employing stratagems that cased a month to elapse between sessions. Earlier, the CSEA protested naming of two fact-finders by the conty, as it viewed it as an attempt by the conty to split the CSEA negotiation team. Prior to this year, one ftactfinder had been sed by the conty.

11 Albany Region Workshop Delves nto State sses ALBANY Albany Region V, Civil Service Employees Assn. recently held its first workshop for state division representatives exclsively at the Qality nn here. The morning session dealt with the existing CSEA-State contract. More than 165 representatives participated in a discssion period led by James Roemer, CSEA consel, and Jack Carey, CSEA assistant exective director, state division. Mr. Roemer explained that the law firm of Roemer and Peatherstonhagh had developed an index of varios grievances nder the existing contract which cold serve as a gide to what areas of the crrent contract need negotiated improvements and which areas were working in favor of CSEA members. "Be wise in deciding which contract areas yo decide to reopen on". Mr. Roemer said. "Use yor choice to yor advantage and don't pick an area that doesn't really need reopening at this time; choose two that need major improvement from the first word to the last." The region had asked state division chapter presidents to poll their members on topics on which they wished frther explanation or that they wanted to be reopened in negotiations with the State. CSEA nit contracts all call for a salary reopener, pls two additional choices by the imion and two by the State. The workshop appeared to gain Mary Moore may be a director of CSEA, representing the Exective Department, bt here she pitches n in tre CSEA-democratic style to assist with registration for the workshop meeting.

Or membership wants to have the opportnity to actively participate in negotiations, whenever and however possible, as well as being kept informed of developments dring the bargaining process. "The edcation committee of the Albany Region believes that this type of workshop, where the experts, the team members, are actively present to answer and hear sggestions is a great edcational experience. t certainly was." The main theme that developed was one of nity of prpose in gaining a needed salary increase at the negotiating table, with a contined independence in individal nit bargaining still an area of primary importance. Mr. Carey smmed p the message of the workshop this way: "CSEA will not allow the State to whipsaw it in any way. f we go in with a nited front, a oonnon prpose, even with all or niqe diversity, we shall emerge the winner. We mstconvince the state that we intend to gain for or members their deserved contract improvements as qickly as possible." CSEA vice-president Joseph McDermott welcomes two new O.D.

The srvey said that non-farm, private payroll jobs rose only 1.2 percent, or 766,000, compared to a rise of 10 percent, or 1,325,000, in government jobs between Jly 1973 and last Jly. The srvey was based on federal Brea of Labor Statistics figres. What nterested some pblic sector employee organization officials was the comment by Nicholas Kisbrg, the Concil's legislative director. Commenting on the stdy, Mr. Kisbrg cited "The massive and potentially dangeros increases in state and local government" rather than in the tax-paying private sector. This comment pzzled some pblic sector nion leaders becase the Teamsters are attempting to organize civil servants. When contacted at Fordham University, where he is employed as an adjnct assistant professor, Mr. Kisbrg, who has a thing for calling reporters "Old Boy," said he sees no conflict in the sitation. Asked to expand his comment, given the Teamsters efforts to enlist pblic sector workers, he said: "Hey, gotta go teach a class." And then he hng p the telephone. * * PRSONER SHFT The Department of C«MTectlon will transfer abot SO minimm secrity prisoners from varios facilities arond the state to the old Wilton State School, Mt. McGregor, on or abot Nov. 1. Department officials say they have plans to transform the facility, formerly a residence for the mentally retarded, into a mlnimm-medllm facility. * «CON ED COMPLANT Assemblyman Andrew Stein (D-L, Manhattan) has called pon the New York State Pblic Service Commission to disallow what he called "otrageos" payments to members of the Board of Directors of Consolidated Edison Co. Mr. Stein said that fees paid to the 15-member Board "are an ot-and-ot rip-off of the people of New York City" and "totally ot of line with what members of a tility company's board shold be paid." Pees to the directors, paid on a per-meeting basis, range from $438 to $1,014. "Tq pay members of a pblic tility board fees ranging from $195 to $676 per hor to sit on a board of directors in New York City is an affront to all tility cstomers," Mr. Stein declared. "Con Ed is constantly telling s it needs rate increases to keep or lights on and then they pay these ldicros sms of ratepayer money to its Board of Directors to sit in a meeting and discss who knows what. The time is long overde for or Pblic Service Commission to begin to force Con Ed and the other state electric tilities to stop paying extraneos sms of money for items not relating directly to the prodction of energy."
