CSEA W a n t s Employees Paid
For Forced School Closings
ALBANY—^The Civil Service Employees Assn. fought, last week, for an amendnnient
which would cover about 25,000 non-teaching school employees who were idled when schools
were forced to close because of the natural gas shortage.
The amendment was to be attached to a bill supported by the CSEA and passed by
the Legislature last week, granting up to 12 days of state aid
rfelief to affected school districts. Because state aid is granted to school districts based on
attendlance figxires, the forced
closings would have had a major
effect on district budgets.

Three Civil Service Employees Assn. vice-presidents make plans for
participation in the third annual Arthritis Telethon to be aired over
Channel 5, WOR-TV, in the MetropoUtan New York City area March

CSEA's lobbyist, James Peatherstonhaugh, and collective bargaining specialist Danny Jinks,
staff coordinator to the union's
statewide non-teaching school

pushed for legisDative consideration for non-teaching school district employees idled by the gas

T o V o t e O n T e n t a t i v e Pact
RENSSELAER—The Rensselaer (bounty chapter of the Civil Service Employees Assn.
and county negotiators have tentatively agreed on terms for a 1977 contract, consequently
avoiding a threatened strike.
The agreement, which came last week, was characterized by chapter president Sue
Ernst as "a lot better" than
earlier offers.
William E. Sinott, the county's
top personnel officer, said that
the two sides reached accord
after lengthy and intense bargaining. Both the county and the
union agreed not to discuss terms
of the pact, he said.
Prior to this tentative settlement. Rensselaer county employees had voted to strike if no
agreement could be reached. That
vote ciame after the county rejected the recommendations of
fact-finder Kenneth DeKay. The
CSEA voted to accept those findings which read, in part, that
"The salaries paid by the county are, in general, below those
paid by the City of Troy, as well
as those paid by some of the
towns and some of the school
districts."
The union accepted the fkictflnder's salary proposal of $400
per person, half of the amount
originally demanded by the
union. Other issues separating
the two sides included the grievance procedures and a "past
practice" clause.
According to Ms. Ernst, the
union plans two meetings this
week to explain the tentative
agreement to the membership
and to vote on ratification.
was passed in both houses and
signed into law, to affirm the
CSEA's support for the bill. They
also met with many other legislators to gain support for an
amendment to the Zimmer bill
which would nUandate pay for
non-teaching school district employees during the forced closings. Mr. Peatherstonhaugh and
Mr. Jinks met with Sen. James
H. Donovan, of the Lewis, Oneida
and Herkimer County district
and chairman of the Education
Committee, to urge his support
of the original bill and the
amendment.
The CSEA supported the original bill because, in many of

Columbia Unit Employee
Reinstated With Salary
HUDSON—Columbia County employee William Herpfer
has been ordered reinstated to his position with full restoration of benefits and salary.
The order was made by Albany Supreme Court Judge
George L. Cobb after Mr. Herpfer was fired from his job as
motor equipment operator with
the Columbia Highway Department on July 2, 1976, for alleged
breaking of a non-retaliatory
pact following action by various
Columbia County employees represented by Civil Service Employees Assn. chapter 811.
The declfion may be appealed
by the County, but the order
indicates that if the appeal is
denied and the CSEA position
upheld, the full backpay and
benefits decision will be binding.
A spokesman for the CSEA indicated satisfaction with the decision.
"Finally the rights of the individual and of organized labor
have been upheld. If the County
continues to drag this situation
out," the spokesman said, "then
it is indicating that it still is
seeking reveiige against its own
employees."
Suffolk 4 - Y e a r Signing Soon
RIVERHEAD—The Suffolk CoUnty legislature last week authorized the County Executive to sign an unprecedented four-year contract with the Civil Service Employees Assn.
The vote was 15-3 with the only opposition coming from Democratic legislators who
criticized the contract along partisan- lines.
James Corbin, president of the
Suffolk chapter, said. "Although
I am gratified and pleased that
the contract wtas passed, you
must realize that no contract is
perfect and that this one contains areas that we hope to improve on in the future."
Mr. Corbin said that the county notified 170 workers on Dec.
26 that they would be laid-off.
after the CSEA had negotiated
a gularantee as part of the contract that there would be no lay(Continued on Page 16)

life Insurance plan.
Under arrangements worked
out by CSEA's Insurance committee, headed by James Corbin, a
change in Insurance coverage for
women becomes effective In May.
At that time, women members
will automatically be covered for
the same amount of insurance
that is issued to male union
members in the same salary
brackets.
Some women, however, may
wish to retain their current Option B insurance coverage Instead. They must specifically
make a request to do so.
In a mailing by the CSEA at
the beginning of the year, a form
was Included on which a member may Indicate a lower amount
of Irosurance Is desired; otherwise
the Option A coverage will go
Into effect.
Increase In amounts of Insur-
ance to be issued under the
change at this time will not require evidence of insurability or
medical examinations, Mr. Corbin
explained.
If the member requests the
lower Option B now, however,
evidence of insurability will be
required in the future to change
to Option A.
The Option B request must be
signed and received at the CSEA
headquarters, 33 Elk St., Albany,
N.Y. 12207, for arrival by Tuesday, March 1.
For the benefit of those women
who may be annoyed at the inconvenience of specifying an insurance choice, after many years
under Option B, CSEA executive
director Joseph Lochner explains
that it Is due to the union's efforts to adhere to the strictures of
the law.

tion of lalmr controversies and
frowns upon judicial attempts to
resolve such disputes" is the way
Judge John O. McCarthy explained his "hands-off" position.
The three employees. Austin
Schoenfeld, Robert Bertucci and
Benny Trapani. foimd themselves in trouble when they allegedly refused to sign receipts
for employee conduct regulations
handed out by a supervisor.
Robert A. Hanington. superintendent o[ the Long Island
town's Highway
Department,
promptly found them insubordinate and hit them with suspensions. The suspended employees,
holding non-competitive civil
service jobs, claimed they <»ily
delayed signing the receipts until
they could talk with their union
representative. In fact, they told
the court, they did agree to sign,
but their supervisor wouldn't let
them after the initial refusal.
When the suspensiim was imposed. ttte men filed a grievance
and demanded the d i l u t e go to
arbitration as required under
the contract.
Mr. Hanington said no, claiming that the employees, because
they held non-competitive, appointed jobs, weren't entitled to
arbitration. In asking for an injunction preventing arbitration,
the superintendent said, "the
grievances are. in reality, not
grievances as defined in the collective liargaining agreement."
and he had an "absolute right"
to suspend them.
The Judge, in throwing out the
lawsuit, said the enuiioyees did
indeed have a grievance suitable
for ariiitmtion. And tlie fact that
they were in non-competitive
jobs had no liearing on the case
because they were union members. Therefore, he ruled, they
were protected by the union's
contract and ttie state Civil Service Law.
Herbert K. lippman, of New
York City, was the fact-finder
in the contract diq;>ute between
the Village and the Nassau
County chapter of the Civil Service Employees Assn.
Mr. Lippman called for the
increase as of June 1, 1976, plus
any increment under the expired contract; in the second
year, he called for a cost-ofliving increase on June 1. 1977,
of 5 percent with % percent
for each 1 percent of the Consumer Price Index over 5 percmt
on that date.
Other recommendations include:
• no change in the present
vacation policy of three wedcs
after 10 years and increases in
the 12th and 14th years;
• retention of the present retirement plan;
• retention of the six-day
sanitation service;
• Highway Departmoit personnel to work from 7 a.m. to

C S E A Calls Rockland
Oct. H e a r i n g Illegal
NEW C n r — T h e Civil Service Employees Assn. has
charged that the October 1976 hearing at which the Rockland County legislators imposed the terms and conditions of
employment for some 1,750 county workers was held illegally.
Ih a n tmpr(n;>er practice charge
filed with the Public Employment Relations Board last w e ^ ,
the CBEA maintained thbit evidence was revealed Feb. 3 proving t h a t the hearing was Illegally
held. CSEA field representative
Thomas A. Brann said that the
state's Taylor Law provides for a
legislative heiarlng in a contract
dispute only if at least one side
rejects the fact-finder's report.
Since the County stated Feb. 3
(In a hearing before PERB In a
related matter) that It had In
fact accepted the report, the
Oct. 19 hearing never should
have been held, Mr. Brann said.

Impasse Continues
SHENENDEHOWA — The
Civil Service Employees Assn.
of the Shenendehowa School
District has been working
without a contract since July 1,
1976.
Neogtiators for the CSEA and
the Board of Education reached
an impaase in August and the
Public Employment Relations
Board assigned Barry A Taylor
as fact*finder.
Mr. Taylor recently submitted
his report to the Board of Education and the CSEA. A spokesman
for the CSEA stated that "although we are not totally satisfied because the report does not
meet expressed expectations of
the employees, we feel that inasmuch as the report was written
by an impartial party after formal hearings and submission of
briefs, the true spirit of good
faith bargaining can best be
served by our acceptance."
At a recent general meeting of
the CSEA unit, the employees
agreed to accept the fact-finder's
total report. However, the Board
of Education did not accept the
report. Negotiators for both sides
will meet in the near future to
attempt to resolve the dispute.

. The Whys And "How Much" Of Retirement
This Is the second and last
part of a series on the benefits and plans of the New
York State Retirement System. Leader features editor
Jane Bernstein has attempted
to answer some of the questions that crop up when retirement becomes a reality.
By JANE B. BERNSTEIN
LTHOUGH many of the
individuals who have become members of the New
York State Employees Retirement System since July 1,
1973, are too young to give
much thought to retirement,
it is important to know the
differences in its plans and
benefits.
One of the major points is
that those who came into the
system prior to July 1973 are
eligible for retirement with
full benefits at age 55, while
those who came after must
wait until age 62. This full
allowance comes after 20
years of service for the first
group. It is possible for newer
members to leave the job between ages 55 and 62, but
that usually means reduced
benefits, and in some cases,
five years of service is required after 1973.
Another major difference
is that later members are not
required to make contributions, which those who
joined before the 1960's were
required to do. The 1960's
brought the Increased-TakeHome-Pay provision, and
then the non-contributory
system which was offered to
state employees. As a result,
the number of employees
contributing to the system
has been greatly reduced.
There are several plans
Which old and new members
may elect when entering the
system.
• The Basic Plan is for
old members who have contributed to the system. It
provides for a normal retirement age of 60. If an employee has made additional
contributions to qualify, he
or she may retire a t age 55.
After 30 years of service, for
the Age 55 plan, or 35 years
under the Age 60 plan, a
worker may retire and collect
one-half of his or her final
average salary. (This is usually the last three years'
average.)
• The l/60th plan Is for
those who have not contributed to the system. An employee may retire on onehalf of his or her final average salary after 30 years of
service. The retirement allowance is adjusted according to more or less years of
service.
• The Career Retirement
Plan or 25 Year Plan also
does not require contributions. The allowance is based
on l/50th of the final average
salary after 25 years of service. Those with more than
25 years get an additional
l/60th of the final average

for each year over 25. Those
with less than 25 years also
get l/60th of the final average for each year of service.
• The New Career Retirement Plan or 20 Year Plan
provides for l/50th of the
final salary for each year of
service for a worker with 20
or more years. The pension
part of the allowance may
not be more than 75 percent
of the final average salary
for old members. For those
with less than 20 years of
service, the benefits are
based on l/60th of the final
average salary for each year
of work.
• There are special plans
for certain groups, including
firemen, state policemen and
some
correction
officers.
Members of these groups are
permitted to enroll in plans
which provide for retirement
on one-half the final average salary after 20 years of
service, regardless of age.
No matter which plan new
members choose, (post-July
1973) the state has set a
limit on the amount of benefits to which they are entitled. This figure is 60 percent of the first $12,000 of
the final average salary, and
50 percent of any final average over $12,000.
Any employee who has ten
years of service with at least
five years in the Retirement
System may vest his or her
pension. To be given vesting
rights is to be given ownership of the pension. Old
members may collect their
vested pensions at age 55,
while new members must
wait until age 62 in most
cases.
If an employee leaves state
or county service with less
than ten years of work, the
vesting right is forfeited, as
it is when membersihp in the
Retirement System is terminated. The vested allowance
usually depends on the plan
elected when the worker was
in government service.
If an individual dies before
filing for vesting rights,
there usually isn't any payment made to the designated
beneficiary. But if there are
any contributions, these are
paid to the beneficiary. Also,
if an individual dies within
one year after leaving the
job, death benefits may be
payable.
The System does guarantee death benefits if a worker dies as a result of an accident on the job. The beneficiary would then receive
one-half of the final average
salary for life. (If she is a
widow, it is paid until she
remarries, if she does.)
There is no minimum service eligibility for the accidental death benefit.
If a worker dies while still
employed, the death benefit
he or she selected previously
is paid to the beneficiary.
This is the Ordinary Death
Benefit.
The
Regular
Ordinary
Death Benefit requires one
year of service and is available to old members. It
amounts to l/12th of the last
year's salary multiplied by
the years of service up to 36.
New members have the
choice of Death Benefits One
and Two. Benefit One is
based on one month's salary
for each year of service up
to three years' salary for 36
years of service. This benefit may not be paid if an individual dies after retiring.
Benefit Two is equal to the
salary times years of service,
up to three times the salary.
This benefit is subject to
certain age and maximum
payment limitations, so be
sure to check with a retirement counselor;
All of the death benefits
up to $50,000 are paid in the
form of life insurance, and
are not subject to federal income tax.
The state does provide help
in answering questions prospective retirees have about
the system. Counselors are
essential to aid individuals
when the time comes . . . especially since there are so
many choices to make. (For
office locations and retirement options, see the Feb. 18,
1977, Leader.)
This series has just put
down the hard facts about
the Retirement System. I t is
difficult to come up with
answers to many questions
and problems t h a t arise
which affect its members.
No one yet knows the outcome of the new legislation
mandating that employees
coming into the system after
July 1,1976, not be permitted
to name their own beneficiaries. Albany lawmakers
and angry union leaders are
presently trying to soften the
edge of the plan.
There are retired employees waiting frantically for
that first pension check to
come, so they can pay bills.
There are individuals who
thought they would be entitled to more of an allowance than they will be getting, and are trying to figure
out how to make do with
less as costs continue to rise.
There are angry women on
the brink of retirement,
whose benefits are lower
than their male counterparts,
because statistically women
outlive men and, so, would
collect longer. It remains a
fact that not all women outlive men of the same age.
The system is not foolproof. It does not anticipate
all of the eventualities and
possibilities that may arise.
But' hopefully, an employee
who knows what his or her
choices are, and what type of
an effect one option may
have as opposed to another,
will be better prepared to
face retirement and the complex decisions that go along
with it.

care for students. We have done little to make sure there
were enough good jobs around so our youth and adults alike
had more to do than just stand around on street corners
watching life go by.
The courts, City Hall, the media, business—just about:
every segment of society—must share part of the blame for
today's lifestyle.
Now we are gnashing our collective teeth over rampant
subway crime perpetrated in many cases by youngsters who
are the product of those very city schools, slums and unemployment lines.
Many justifiably incensed New Yorkers are urging city
officials to put more transit police on the subways. This
certainly would be a wise thing to do. In fact, we feel it
was perhaps one of the Beame Administration's greatest
follies to cut back the city's uniformed force so severely
that the city almost ceased to function. Yes, the city should
hastily return these officers to the streets, parks, patrol cars
and subways, but that should not be considered the final
answer.
New Yorkers must soon realize the real solutions lie
much deeper than in such band-aid type responses. We have
to improve the schools, upgrade the police force, rebuild the
slums, integrate neighborhoods, seek better understanding
among our many ethnic groups and provide jobs, among
other things. It requires a come-to-the-grips-with-theproblem attitude from all of us, accompanied by considerable commitment, luck, hard work and, unfortunately, money.
All of us will feel safer and happier when the subway
madness finally ends. The sight of uniformed police officers
will certainly be a deterrent to subway crime and we hope
to see many more such sights very soon. But New Yorkers
must do much more. We hope someday they will.

Questions & Answers
Q. My nelirhbor tells me that
when she received notice that
her supplemental security income
payments would be suspended,
she appealed the decision. She
said she continued to set checks
while she was waiting for her
case to be reviewed. Is this possible?
A. Yes. If the request for a
i^evlew of a decision to suspend,
reduce or end suppl^ental security Income payments is made
within 10 days lafter receiving
notice of the proposed action,
payments will continue iintll the
Social Security Administration
makes a decision on the appeal.
Q. Aty parents have never
been through a formal marriage.
They've been together SO years
now, and have raised six children. I know their marriage to
considered legal under State law,
but I was wondering if there will
be any difference when they apply for Federal supplemental security income payments. Would
their eligibiUty be affected?
A. People who hold themselves
out as husband and wife In the
community where they live are
considered legally mlarrled In determining eligibility for supplemental security Income payments. The Federal program
generally follows State law and
would give your parents tiie
same marriage status as the
State does.
Similarly, the continued persistence by the State In their demand to deprive the civil service
employees of certain Workmen's
Compensation benefits for injiu:les suffered In the course of employment is a transparent ploy
by the State to derail honest bargaining to meet the demonstrable
and equitable needs of the civil
service employees.
This demand would Impose
upon the civil service employees
the financial risk of injury sustained by the failure of the state
administration to maintain its
properties In a decent state of
repair, and for other failures of
administrative officials to maintain decent accident prevention
programs. The doctrine that the
employee assumes such risks of
unemployment died a well-deserved death with the passing of the
dark ages.
What is even more ddailltatlng
about the State's approach to
collective bargaining is the acknowledgment by Wollett that
the State will not give any consideration to recommendations
that may be made by the factfinding panel, established under
the provisions of the Taylor Law.
to resolve the Imptusse that has
been reached in the collective
bargaining process.
In light of that position, CSEA
president Theodore C. Wenzl was
fully justified In castigating the
state administration for "refusing to be realistic throughout the
negotiations relative to the salary issue, and for adopting a cavalier attitude towards the factfinding process by strongly indicating that It would reject any
recommendation from the panel
that exceeds the State's final
position."
The fundamental difficulty
with the State's approach to the
fact-finding panel is that its
attitude amounts to little short
of Intimidation of the fact-findIng group. That panel Is indeed
a distinguished one. Theodore W.
Kheel, Its chairman, is among
the leading labor experts in the
country, with broad experience
with collective bargaining In the
public sector. The other members,

Arbitrator Supported By Courts
The position of a nurse-teacher was abolished by the
Board of Education after the budget was turned down by
the voters. This was allegedly done to effect economies in
the operation of the schools. The savings was anticipated to
be $12,000. However, the budget Included three new positions of health office assistant at a cost of $11,000.
The collective agreement between the Teachers Assn.
and the Board of Education contained a provision that no
teacher shall be dismissed without just cause. The Association grieved the dismissal and proceeded to arbitration.
The arbitration was held and resulted In the arbitrator's
decision that the nurse-teacher was not discharged for Just
cause within the meaning of the contract. He ordered her
reinstated with back pay.
THE BOARD MOVED to vacate the award In Supreme
Court In a proceeding pursuant to the CPLR. Special Term
agreed with the arbitrator and denied the motion to vacate
the award as one In excess of the arbitrator's powers, and
the cross-motion to confirm the award was granted.
On appeal by the Board to the Appellate Division, Fourth
Department, the Issue presented was "whether a school
board, having agreed that no teacher shall be dismissed
without just cause, may be compelled under that contract
provision to arbitrate the dismissal of a teacher whose Job
has been abolished. The court answered this question very
simply In the affirmative by pointing out that the School
Board consented to arbitration In the collective agreement.
The court went on to say that notwithstanding the Board's
agreement, the dispute was properly one for arbitration under the facts of the case and the arbitrator did not exceed
his powers.
*
*
*
A PUBLIC EMPLOYER Is required to negotiate concerning the terms and conditions of employment. Job security Is not considered such a term or condition of employment. However, a public employer may voluntarily contract
with respect to that matter and to the arbitration of disputes
which may arise from that agreement. Nevertheless, In the
contract under discussion In this case, the parties did not
agree on a job security protection clause and did not agree
to empower an arbitrator with the general authority to review dismissals resulting from the abolition of Jobs. Under
those circumstances, the Board could not be prohibited from
eliminating the nurse-teacher position providing the Board's
action was done for the purpose of managing Its affairs efficiently and economically. The Board may not, however,
abolish a job as a subterfuge for firing an unwanted tenured
teacher when in fact no economy or Increased efficiency is
realized.
It is clear, therefore, that the mere abolition of a job
does not present an arbitrable issue; but when the Board has
wiped out the claimed economy by hiring others to do the
same job, an arbitrable question Is raised on the Issue of
whether the Individual occupying the abolished position was

OPINIONS
Barbara Slnith. Therapy Assistant 1: 'Tm opposed
to this transfer to the counties
for the simple reason that I
do feel the patients will get
better care in the institutions.
If you throw them outside into
hotels or homes without supervision or care, the result Is
catastnvhic. Here in the Institutions, you do have therapy
aides to care for their everyday needs. I also feel that
imder the circumstances, the
role of the institution is not adequate. Instead of
rearranging the working system, they should try
to strengthen Its weak points."
Shiricy Kfctaberg, senior stenognvhor: "I bdtteve
the Dqpartment ot Mental
Health and Che people it services would be better off under
one entity, q;)eclfically the
state. Eizcept for a few instances, state woAers are doing a
fine Job in the communities, as
wdl as In the institutions.
More efficient supervision of
staff and patients is all that
is needed tcf have Improved
services; and with the recent
extended energies of JCAH and Medicaid, this Is
exactly what Is happening. The state should try to
clear tq? its own problems Instead of trying to
dump them on the counties."
Chris Kyriannls, social worker: "I feel we should
develop more resources within
the institution. The number of
admissions we have found far
exceeds the adequate facilities
within the community. I do feel
that we need to better develop
outside resources, but not limit
the functions of the institution
at the same time. Both diould
be further developed because
both serve the general public.
The idea sounds grand but.
during this financial crunch. I don't think the plan
is feasible."
Cynthia TyreD. Therapy Assistant 1: "The counties
are In financial difficulty as it
is. How win they manage to
take over an expensive system
when they can't meet thdr own
<varatlng e i ^ n s e s ? What is
going to luwpen to the staff
members
have beoi workIng in state service for years?
r m hitting my 35th year of
state service. I have a lot of
experience here, and I know
the patients are going to suffer
from this change. I dim't think enough time has
been spent planning the switchover. I can see nothing but future turmoil in its financing."
Ruben Matos, doctor: "Tliere needs to be a significant amount of research and
planning within the community
in order to develop commimity
facilities. This research and
planning is necesary for proper
placement of the patient, where
there is a staff and a proper
physical setting. We will have
a large number of patients who
need institutional care. Tho
counties will deal with what we
confront on a day-by-day basis."
Bob Anthony, chief of service: T would assume
that the county would move In
their administration to run the
operation, that the switchover
was a matter of shifting JurlsdicUons. I think it has possibll.
Ities for working, if it Is done
with the state employees, who
have developed expertise over
the years. If the coimties take
over, r m sure that the m ployees would remain (xi state
items and continue doing the
work. If they were not keeping the present facilities and staff, it would be chaotic and costly."

System
Editor, The Leader:
As I read the CivU Service
Leader, I find it covers most
problems of interest to civil servants. Whether it's Job discrimination, state laws, the rights
and responsibilities of policemen,
the deeds of the firnnen, we are
sure to find all this in the Leader.
I have never thought, however,
that the civil service method of
selecting employees Is always in
the best interest of the persons
involved.
The top three individuals are
LETTERS
not always the most qualified.
In addition, most questions in the
test do not even pertain to the
position to be filled. Plain guesswork might as well get you a top
passing mark.
I believe that a person who has
put in work-time in a particular
type of work is most qualified to
be placed in the top position to
be filled. This is the surest way
of getting the best person in the
position. The top-three-man system is really the spoils system.

POLICY
Letters to the Editor should be less than 200 words.
The Leader reserves the right to extract or condense
pertinent sections of letters that exceed the maximum
length. Meaning or intent of a letter is never changed.
Extensive letters that cannot be edited to a reasonable
length are not used unless their viewpoint Is so unique
that, In The Leader's judgment, an exception should
be made. All letters must be signed and bear the
writer's address and telephone number. Names will be
withheld upon request.

Editor, The Leader:
Reforms recently recommended
to the President of the State
Civil Service Commission by the
New York State Personnel Council as "Imperative in a viable
contemporary merit system," is
like representing an additional

from lead poisoning as essential

If you are thinking about annuities. dont Umlt your Investigattons to insurance companies.
There are private annuities
which offer several advantages
In estate planning. lifettane Income Is only one of them.
Sometimes a private annuity
is undertaken within the family
when a younger person imdertakes to pay the sum. and sometimes by an employer. One big
advantage of this arrangement
is that the capital gains tax
can continue to be deferred. The
taxes are paid on them gradually
as the annuity Is paid out. In
some cases the assets can be removed frmn your estate. If the
present value of the annuity
equals the value of the property
transferred, there Is no gift tax.
If the relative or the guarantor
of the annuity is in a lower tax
bradcet, the total tax may be
even less. However, of course, assurance must be made that the
principal is In safe hands. The
agreement should be drawn up
by a lawyer so as to withstand
any challenge by the Internal
Revenue Service.

John Sands, a professor at Albany Law School, and Robert
Babin, a professor at Syracuse
Law School, are also distinguished students of the collective
bargaining process, and are sufficiently experienced and independent not to be intimidated by
statements of WoUett.
Nonetheless, such statements
becloud not only the issues Involved in the collective bargaining process, but also cast an unfortunate shadow over the entire
fact-finding procedure.
Unfortunately, that has been
the fate of many fact-finding
recommendations in the past.
Moreover, local governments, following the leadership of the
state, have all too often treated
fact-finding
recommendations
with equal disdain. It is about
time that the state administration begins to pay heed to such
recommendations or faces the
alternative of abandoning factfinding as a useless appendage to
ihe bargaining process.
M e m b e r s O f Four C S E A Bargaining Teams;
By MARVIN BAXLET
During the past few years, one of the thankless
Jobs undertaken by members of the Civil Service
Employees Assn. has been service sus a member of
one of the four bargaining unit negotiating teams.
W5

The four teams are composed of two members
from each of the CSEA's six regions. They are
selected by the regional executive committees for
their capabilities and experience as negotiators.
As examples of how high-powered the teams
I
are, the Professional-Scientific-Technical team
is chaired by CSEA vice-president Robert Lattimer, the Administrative "team is chaired by State
Executive Committee chairman Thomas McDonough and the institutional team is chaired by
State Executive Committee vice-chairman James
Moore. All are members of the Board of Directors.
In addition, another nine negotiators are members of the Board, three are regional officers and
17 are chapter presidents, including Operational

Unit chairman Edward McGreevy. All of them
have served as chapter delegates to statewide
conventions.
Without belaboring the subject, it can also be
pointed out that for four years Mr. McDonough
was also the union's second-highest ranking officer, as first vice-president and as executive
vice-president, and that there are two former
Board members, five former regional officers and
three former chapter presidents among the negotiators.
Recounting lesser chapter offices and committee assignments at the chapter, regional and
statewide levels would be too tedious to go into
here, but the listing would be extensive.
Yet, when negotiations take a bad turn, as they
have for the past few years, it is too easy for
rank-and-file members to verbally berate the
very people who give up their time and effort
in order to improve the working conditions of
public employees in the state.
Thus, The Leader is featuring those people who
serve on the negotiating teams. It is hoped that,
as a result, rank-and-file members will have a
greater degree of identification with the negotiating process—knowing that it is their fellow
employees who have been struggling to achieve
their goals.
It is easy to think in terms of "them," when,
in actuality, rank-and-file members should be
thinking of the negotiators as representatives
of "us."

(Contiiraed frMB Pmge 8)
At present, the negotiating teams, like everyone
else, are awaiting the recommendations of the
fact-finders. Arguments have been presented by
the union and by the state. The recommendations
are expected by March 1.
If both the CSEA and the State Administration
should agree to the fact-finders' recommendations, that will be that, and the rank-and-file
members of the union will have an opportunity
to ratify the agreement that will be presented
to the Legislature for final approval.
If either side disagrees, the next step is a legislative hearing, which results in a unilateral, imposed settlement.
As will be remembered, two years ago, in a
similar situation, the Legislature disregarded
both the union position and the fact-finders'
compromise recommendations when they upheld
the State Administration in its offer of a one-
time-only $250 bonus (before taxes).
At that time, employees voted, by a narrow
margin, to make the most of a bad situation. The
alternative decision is to take some form of job
action, such as a work slowdown or a strike. The
union is preparing plans that will allow it to support whatever action the members choose.

EXTENDED TO APRIL 1, 1977
Never in the history of our union has it been so
vital t o stick together — grow together and share the
load to l<eep us strong. In these tough times, the
greater the percentage of membership of any county
unit or chapter, the greater the strength at the bargaining table. The greater the percentage of state
employees belonging to C S E A , the greater the
strength of the state t)argainlng units.
Therefore, w e are offering members in good standing a cash Incentive to recruit new members. There is
no limit to the number of new members you may sign
up. And while the cash incentive Is nice to receive,
the most important factor Is the strength you will be
helping to build for you and your fellow worker.
O N E (Member) WILL GET
YOU FIVE ($5)
For each new nnember you sign up between now
and April 1 , 1 9 7 7 , C S E A will award you $5.00. After
you have signed up the new member he must be on
the payroll for four bi-weekly pay periods or the
equivalent thereof.
CHAPTER OR UNIT PRESIDENT
HAS C O N V E N I E N T SIGN-UP
CARDS
Ready to go? See your Chapter or Unit president
for special sign-up cards which have a place to r e -
cord all the necessary Information. Send your cards in
as soon as you sign up a new member — a n d we'll
credit your account with $ 5 . 0 0 for each member
signed up.
We'll keep your account up to date and will return
to you, in writing, a receipt for each new member
you've signed up. In approximately 8 - 1 2 w e e k s you
will receive your cash payoff.
New m e m b e r s must work in a unit of government
represented by C S E A . So w e urge you C ^ E A m e m b e r s — g o t o it — s t a r t signing up non-members for
cash in your pocket and security in your future.
NON-MEMBERS SHOULD
HELP S H A R E T H E LOAD
If you're a non-member, w e ask you to think of
this: sharing the load In these tough times Is important. Legally, w e represent you — a t the bargaining table — a n d even In processing grievances. A n d
we need your support — morally and financially — to
fight the battles ahead. Our dues are most reasonable for t h e services p r o v i d e d . . . services which
benefit you in many ways.
So help us share the load by signing up with us.

MANHATTAN—Solomon Bendet, president of Metropolitan
New York City Region n of the
Civil Service Employees Assn.,
has suggested t h a t all chapter
presidents set up action committees to prepare the membership
for all eventitelities a f t e r the
fact-finders issue their report.
ROCHESTERr-Most of the recommendations made by
the New York State personnel council have been termed
"little short of ridiculous" by the chairman of the Civil
Service Employees Association's work performance, ratings
and examination's committee.
Samuel Grossfield.
Mr. Grossfield. who's also president of the Rochester CSEA
chapter, said he spoke for the
other members of his committee:
A1 Castaldi, SUNY Stony Brook;
William Gagnon, St. Lawrence
Psychiatric Center; Carl Garrand, Wassaic
Developmental
Center; Marjorie Reeves, Creedmoor Psychiatric Center; Lloyd
Tipton, Brockport SUNY, and
Robert Weinbloom, Education,
Albany.
Mr. Grossfield said elimination
of the Rule of Three for making
appointments from the civil service examination list, as the personnel council proposed, would
"open up a Pandora's box."
"It would invite politicians and
supervisors of agencies to make
decisions on the basis of favoritism, nepotism and personal bias:
It would disregard the lessons of
the past and destroy the whole
principle of the Merit System
t h a t has protected us through
these many years," he said.
In recommending an employee
appraisal system, in which salary
increments are based on management's own appraisal of an employee, the council made an inaccurate statement, Mr. Grossfield said.
"Council members said increments
were
automatic,
but
that's untrue," he said. "They
never have been. They're awarded only when the employee obtains
a satisfactory
rating.
They're not given, as the council seems to indicate, to employees who simply come to work in
the morning."
Mr. Grossfield said if council
proposals are enacted, employees
will be afraid to speak up for
fear of reprisals. The self-respect
of employees will be destroyed,
he said.
"We would invite chaos. There
would be battles between politic-

the amount of tlieir coverage
with t h a t Of the men, some complaints were registered about the
difference in the basic group life
plan.
On the one hand, Mr. Lochner
said, the union obviously did not
want to appear to be discriminating against its women members, while on the other hand
the State Insurance Law prohibits individual selection of insurance.
Consequently, the current system was worked out with the
Travelers Insurance Company,
with assurance to the State Insurance Department t h a t CSEA
would make "all efforts possible"
to alert members of their right
to request the lower amount of
insurance, Option B.
ians, between supervisors and between management over who
should be rewarded and^ who
should not," he said.
Mr. Grossfield said the CSEA
and his committee are not opposed to surveys of agencies, procedures and practices, with the
aim of making improvements, as
stated by Victor Bahou, president
of the state Civil Service Commission.
"In fact, we have from time
to time recommended that studies be made," he said. "But
there's a vast difference between
making thoughtful studies and
just simply coming out with rehashed ideas t h a t would only
turn back the' clock and reinvent the wheel."
Mr. Grossfield said two other
points made by the council would
be "amusing if they weren't so
tragic."
One example, he said, was the
"very earth-shaking proposal"
that the Department of Civil
Service be renamed the Department of Personnel Management.
"I doubt t h a t such a name
change would result in any vast
improvements in the Department's performance. If this is
any indication of the intelligence
of the people comprising the
council, then one can get a fair
picture of the value of their
other ideas."
A more sinister example, he
said, is the recommendation to
replace the Civil Service Commission with a bipartisan citizens advisory board.
"It seems incredible that the
council would turn the safeguarding of employee and management
rights over to some sort of political entity t h a t probably would
give agencies and management
carte blanche to do what they'd
like. This is hardly the way any
kind of state government should
be operated."
SCHOLARSHIP A W A R D
state University College at Brockport chapter 601 announces the
winners of its Civil Service Employees Assn. scholarship. From left,
Suzanne Cloutier and her daughter, Mary Cloutier, accept award
from Lloyd Tipton, chapter president. The teen-ager is majoring in
English and German. Another scholarship winner, Laurie Good, who
is majoring in business, was unable to attend the ceremony. The
$250 award goes to chapter members' children who attend New York
State institutions of higher education.
The report, part of the contract bargaining process between
the state and the CSEA, is expected March 1, according to
Theodore Kheel, head of the
fact-finding panel.
Under the state's Taylor Law,
if either side rejects the factfinder's recommendations, the
dispute moves to a .legislative
hearing, where the employer can
mandate a final settlement.

CANTON—The St. Lawrence
County of the Civil Service Employees Assn. unanimously approved a wage and health insurance settlement for the second
year of its two-year contract.
It provides an across-the-board
pay increase of $500, payment of
increments to eligible employees
and continuation of health insurance for employees and dependents under the same payment schedule now in force.
A fact-finder had recommended 100 percent county payment
of health insurance coverage for
not only employees, as provided
in the current plan, but also for
dependents. The CSEA unit, however, opted to leave dependents'
insurance coverage at the 75 percent county cost share.
Contract approval is expected
at the next legislative session.

Vestal Croup
W i n s Accord
VESTAL — The Vestal
School non-teaching unit of
the Civil Service Employees
Assn., and the Vestal School
District have reached tentative
agreement on a new contract.
I n a recent statement submitted jointly, the two sides said
they will not release the terms
and conditions of the agreement
until both the District and the
members of the CSEA school unit
have ratified it.
Charles McGeary, public relations associate for Region V
of the CSEA, said the two sides
met with PERB superconciliator
Rodney Dennis for more t h a n
four hours before reaching a n
agreement. Roger Kane, t h e
CSEA
coUective
negotiating
specialist, represented t h e e m .
ployees throughout negotiations.
The Vestal School unit, nuxnboring nearly 270 employees, includes bus drivers, clerical, food
service and mechanics who have
been working under the terms of
a contract that expired June 30,
1976.

offs. In addition, the CSEA
agreement stipulates t h a t anyone eliminated through budget
cuts would be offered a comparable position elsewhere in county
government.
"To date the county has not
been complying with the agreement. But until the contract was
piissed, we were unable to do
much about it. Now we will ask
for a ruling from the Public Employment Relations Board on
compliance under the terms of
the agreement." Mr. Corbin said.
County Executive J o h n V. N.
Klein is expected to sign the
contract in the near future, ending almost two years of negotiations between the county and the
CSEA.
