pies of any point the authors
choose to make. As It happens,
both Dr. Spero and Dr. Gapozzola
are professors of public administration at NYU's Graduate School
of Public Administration.
The text sorts out the Imbigues
of the labor-management-polltlcs
web and provides the reader with
detailed footnotes to each chap•ler, as well as an extensive bibliography.
There is much spirit In the
many candid comments on the
labor-management tactics offered by both labor leaders and
city ofBclals, who usually declined to be Identified. For example, the authors discuss what
is known as "the script" — the
pre-ordained pattern followed by
both union leaders and city n e gotiators in the collective bargaining process. "The script," the
authors say, is a "highly ritualistic charade" in which both sides
conform to a certain amount of
role-playing.
"The script demands that the
luiion appear to have won a
large victory, wringing from a
tough, hard-bargaining management the last cent possible," the
book says. "Indeed, a basic
maxim of bargaining, according to a city ofiBclal, is that the
worst thing in the world is to
hand a union something on a
silver platter, since the leader^ p feels that if you have the
power to give, you are, in fact,
taking away their power to get."
From the side of labor, one
imlon official told the authors
that atthough the script m a y be
"an excuse for hard work and
professionalized bargaining," it
is a necessity.
The classic example of the
script, the authors said, was the
way the late Mike Quill, head of
the Transport Workers Union,
would negotiate with the Transit
Authority: This is that script:
"Along about May or June
every other year, Mr. QuUl
would summon members of
the press to announce

Over in Brooklyn one
night, Engine 235 had Just
been released from a 10-75

dispatcher for a Job at Fulton St. and Arlington Place.
They could smell the fire
before they saw it, so, left
their masks on. Ueutenant
Melvin Harper knew he
would have to wait for a
Ladder Company because of
the other fire so, with heavy
smoke and fire out the windows, he called Fireman
Richard Bruno and together
they went to make a search
of the 'floor above the fire.
Sure enough, two rooms in
and down the hallway with
smoke so thick you couldn't
see, mask or no mask, they
found a 35-year-old man.
They pulled him out and were
about to take him down the stairs
when the second floor exploded
into fire below them, trapping
them on the stairs. Just then,

covered their escape. Ladder 111,

A week or so ago, on that extra
foggy night. Detective Brian Mulheren was cruising in his batmobile with a fellow cop when,
through the fog. he got a whiff
of smoke and it spelled only one
thing: "fiat going good." I n ^ i t e
of the fact that he is a cop
and assistant police commissioner Paul Canlck's right arm. he
is still a dedicated fire buff and
has a great interest in the Job.
He stopped, had his friend
pull the box at 172nd St. and
Southern Blvd. H e dashed into the
building, heard screaming from
the fioors above the fire, ran up
the stairs past the fire floor and
led eight occupants to safety.
Just as he f l n l ^ e d his stint,
Engine 85 rolled in and immediately transmitted a 10-75 for the
box — which gives you some
idea of the Intensity of the
fire. Nice work supercop!

Had a nice talk with Lt. Frank
Cull who has been assigned to
create, edit and publish a m o n t h ,
ly newsletter for flre fighters
about the Department. Just about
now, I don't envy him. what
with things the way they happen to be. Realizing that a serious lack of communication exists between top a n d bott<»n
echelons, it is hoped that through
the publication of the newsletter
a better rapport and mutual understanding can be established.
Although I find quite a bit of
skepticism among the troops that
anything along those-lines can
be accomplished at this late date,
I firmly believe that the first editions should be received with
encouragement and a completely
open mind. I hate to see lines
drawn with people engaged In
name-calling, bitterness, resentment and general unhapplness.
There is just no place for that
sort of thing in the Fire Department and regardless' of who is
to blame, the sooner scwnebody
gets around to attempting to
stem the tide, the better It will be
for everybody. This may be the
first step. Why not give It a
chance? There will be a large
space for constructive criticism,
complaints and Intelligent questions which will get stralghtfrom-4he-shoulder answers.
It Is not Intended to be a
soap box for any pet theories

Dear Governor Wilson:
I'm a G-3 food service worker for New York State. During
the past year, I thought I might have a chance to advance
myself in State service.
Our union had an agreement with the State to consider
a food service career ladder. Now I hear the State has
said, "no go."
I don't want to be a G-3 all my life. I'm willing to work
for advancement, but now the State won't let me. Please fight
for our rights
Sincerely,
•
•(YOUR NAME)
•
What kind of a State are you running? (TSEA had an
agreement with your people to consider a career ladder for
food service workers. Now your people have gone back on
their word.
Pood service workers deserve a chance to earn better
jobs. New York State is denying us this chance. How would
you like to face being a G-3 or G-4 all your life?
If you want my vote next November, do something about
our career ladder.
•
*
«
I'm one of the food service workers in New Yoric State
who need the career ladder we were promised in negotiations.
Our union, OSEA, has been ready to talk about the career
ladder for over a year.
Now the State says it doesn't want to even consider
one.
You should know how we feel, after all. you waited 15
years to get a better Job. Riemember. broken promises mean
lost votes.
•
•
»
You have had a chance to advance yourself to the State's
highest office, but there are very few chances for advancement In the Pood Service set up of the Mental H3rglene
Department of this State.
My union, 08EIA, has been trying for over a year to
develop a career ladder for food service workers.
Now the State says It won't even consider such a thing.
Why not give us the same chance you had, a chance to
work for an advancement.
•

•
I'm not a highly paid State fat cat. I work In a hot kitchen
cooking for the patients.
I need a chance to Improve my situation. The CSEA proposed a career ladder for Pood Service workers. Now the
State says no to the idea.
I'll remember In November what you do for me In
March.

the bug bites, but has denied
they occurred, Senlsi said.
The Green Haven chapter
president said more than 46 employees in the head clerk's ofHce
at the Green Haven facility have
been working In a bug-infested
area at the prison and many have
been bitten mostly on the arms,
legs and neck. He has filed an
official grievance on the complaint.
Doctor Checks
The State Department of
Health sent an entomologist. Dr.
Thomas P. Bast, and he made
an inspection of the area involved In the complaint. Dr.
Bast said he found after examining 46 employees that five civilian persormel and one Inmate,
apparently a trustee, showed
evidence of some kind of reaction. like a bug bite, on their
hands, knees and neck.
Dr. Bast said he found evidence
of six kinds of insects in the
area, including lady bird beetles,
ants, aphlds and lesifhoppers but
none of these bite humans. He
also said the area had been thoroughly fogged with an electric
fogging device and aerosol bombs.
Mr. Senisi fired back in a letter to the entomologist saying he
must "reject this report. In my
position, I cannot with a clear
consciene call all of these people

administration is that the area
has been cleaned thoroughly. The
administration claims that the
area has been fogged and that
nothing could live after the application, yet these Insects live
and bite.
tlon held a meeting on the problem with women employees. "At
this time I was told that the
women asked for their representative to be present and were
told "Senisi does not have to be
here, he has nothing to do with
this,'" Mr. Senlsi said.
"We at Green Haven are not
interested In reports or Investigations. All we are interested in
is cleaning the Infested area of
all insects and making this area
a place where the people can do
the work demanded of them
without the concern of becoming
carriers of bugs on their person.
"In your report you found six
different insects which you claim
are not 'man-biters.' Since these
Insects were uncovered in a superficial round-up, imagine what
a concentrated effort would have
uncovered.
"In all sincerity I must reject
this report as a complete whitewash and the work of a bureaucratic administration which Intends to do nothing."
No Representative
The chapter president said on
March 1. the prison administra-
"I am informing my members
to disregard anythli^ said at
this Illegal meeting since they
were not duly represented and
this is one of their rights under
the contract," he told the prison administration. He said in
the future the members would
"refuse to meet with you or
anyone from the state when it
deals with a contract grievance
imless their representative Isi
present. I h i s type of harassment
the CSEA will not tolerate."
On March 11, one of the cellblocks at Green Haven was closed
because of Insect infestation.
"The problem is spreading to the
prison population. They tell us
there are no bugs here, yet they
close the ceilblock. That's the
kind of run arovmd they give
us at Green Haven," Mr. Senlsi
said.

Are Letters Effective?
A
RE individual letters to legislators effective?
Since Assemblyman Peter Berle (D., Manhattan 68th
District) has recently written a book on the workings of
the Legislature (Does the Citizen Stand a Chance?: Barron's
Educational Series, Inc., Woodbury, N.Y.), The Leader recently asked the Assemblyman his opinion on letter-writing. His response was:
"The most effective kind of letter, of course, is something that is not a form letter, but is written by someone
expressing their own views in their own words. It need only
be a couple of sentences on a postcard. You know that
somebody cared enough about it to sit down and communicate with you. I think a politician understands that a person who does that is also prepared to cast an informed vote,
either for you or against you the next time around."
He also explained that if they are form letters, they will
get measured by the pound, but, ev€n then, if there are
500 or a thousand of them, it indicates some measure of
concern, and the legislator knows that he has got to be
responsive.
The Legislature is moving into its most active period
at this time. As Assemblyman Berle points out, approximately 2,000 bills will be introduced within the six-month
session. With so many items vying for attention, it is easy
to see how letters can have some effect on a legislator's
judgment, since more attention will be given to those issues
that have stirred the voters to a degree of personal involvement.
There are many topics of interest to be debated in this
year's session. Many of these items of importance to public employees have stirred strong debate in the past. Among
these are the agency shop, employer penalties under the
Taylor Law, the right to strike, retirement benefits, labor
law safety and health standards, cost-of-living provisions.
These are subjects of interest to all public employees.
In addition, there are bills that will be introduced of
special interest to certain segments of the public employee
work force. These affect employees of the Waterfront
Commission, Military and Naval Affairs, the State University, local government, school districts, veterans, retirees,-etc.
It's one thing for a citizen to go to the pollls in November and vote for his choices to represent him in Albany and Washington. At the same time, it must be remembered that the issues of November can be ancient history by the time a politician's term expires. In order to keep
aware of his constituents' ppinions, a politician needs to
hear from the folks back home.
Dean Martin's closing remark on his television show
is apropos: "Keep those cards and letters coming."

House for any reason. Pord will

the new Vice
in the
same manner
i had been
selected for that ofBce when
Agnew resigned.
Circle Tightens
While Nixon insists that he will
tough it and will not resign, the
circle around him seems to be
getting tighter. The prospect that
Nixon may resign was heightened when Congi'essman Wilbur
Mills publicly announced that
Nixon would resign when the
Joint Congressional Committee
on Taxation makes public its
report within the next 40 days
on the President's tax returns.
Mills is Vice Chairman of that
Joint Committee as well as
Chairman of the powerful House
Committee on Ways and Means.
He is a solid, stolid citizen who
does not normally pop off in the
public print for the sake of
headline grabbing.
What makes Rockeifeller the
leading prospect for Vice President in the event of a Nixon
resignation or impeachment is
that Rockefeller would forge a
vital link between Pord and the
powerful eastern Republican establishment. This link is imperative for Republican victories in
the coming Congressional elections and for enhancing the prospects in the 1976 Presidential
election.
Should Ford become the new
President, his main immediate
problem would be to keep Secretary of State Henry Kissinger in
the cabinet. Top
publishers
throughout the country are dangling multi-million dollar royalty advances to Kissinger for publication rights to his memoirs,
Rockefeller can play a key role
in convincing Dr. Kissinger to
resist those tempting offers and
remain in the cabinet.

PERB Shoots Down Ulster
Sheriff
A few months ago, the Public Employment Relations
Board decided that the Ulster County Sheriff was guilty of
an improper practice and that he violated section 209-a.l(d)
of the Civil Service Law (Taylor Law) by refusing to sign
the memorandum of terms to which he had agreed. This is
a case where, in a prior representation case reported at 3
PERB 3527, the Sheriff and Ulster County were found to be
joint employers of a unit of Deputy Sheriffs.
During the negotiations which led to the charge in this
case, the Sheriff attended only the first of four negotiating^
sessions. He api>eared there for the sole reason of challenging the majority status of the CSEA in spite of the fact that
CSEA was certified by PERB some five months before as
the exclusive negotiating agent for the unit of Deputy
Sheriffs.
The Sheriff never actually participated in the negotiations. Instead, he permitted them to be handled by the
negotiator for the County of Ulster who was acting for the
County not only as the joint employer of the Deputy Sheriffs
but as the sole employer of employees other than Deputy (
Sheriffs who were also represented by the CSEA.
*
«
«
THE SHERIFF submitted only one proposal in the negotiations and that was submitted through the County negotiator, and never in any manner did the Sheriff deny the
implications of his conduct, that is, that the County negotiator was acting as his negotiator also.
In December 1972, the CSEA and the County negotiator reached the terms of an agreement and executed a
memorandum of understanding setting forth all of the i
terms and conditions which had been agreed upon. This
memorandum of understanding was given to the Sheriff
for him to sign, whereupon he stated that before he would
take any action on it he would require that it be reviewed
by his attorney.
Visitors to Rockefeller's office
in midtown Manhattan and his
homes and to Kissinger's office
in Washington can tell you that
they are In telephone commimication on almost a daily basis.
In fact it was Rockefeller who
first brought Kissinger's monumental talents to the attention
of Nixon.
Prom the Governor's point of
view, his designation as Vice
President would make his project
on Ci-itical Choices for America
a governmental function and
would stimulate even greater interest in this project which is so
dear to his heart.
On three occasions in December 1972 and January 1973,
the CSEA submitted the memorandum of understanding for
signature to the Sheriff. On the last of those occasions,
CSEA left two copies of a memorandum of agreement at
the office of the Sheriff with a request that they be signed
and returned by Jan. 31, 1973. The Sheriff answered the
CSEA on Jan. 26, 1973, by letter in which he indicated
his acceptance of the agreement but requested that all of
the terms be included in a separate agreement.
Opinion Swings Sharply
THE BOARD FOUND that the actions of the Sheriff
Indicated that he agreed to the terms and conditions negotiated by the CSEA and the County in December 1972. However, he refused 'to execute a written statement of that
agreement, and therefore, the charge of refusal to bargain
is sustained.
Democrats, of course, are
aware of the prospect of a Nixon
resignation and of a Rockefeller
designation as Vice President.
And Democrats are unhappy.
They know that changes in public opinion swing sharply —
from the overwhelming mandate
won by Nixon in 1972 to his low
public esteem today according to
public opinion polls.
The swing in public opinion
can change dramatically and
overnight. Clearly a new FordRockefeller administi-ation could
generate such a swing. Public
interest in Watergate would diminish to almost zero once there
was no further White House involvement. Besides, the public is
always prepared to share a
honeymoon period with a new administration.
The prospect of such a new
Ford-Rockefeller administration
About two months later, an agreement was submitted
to the Sheriff which he refused to sign. That agreement,
however, was incomplete. Several days later, a complete separate contract was submitted to the Sheriff which he
refused to sign.
*
*
#
The Board also found that when a joint employer relationship exists and one of the joint employers has the
apparent authority to act for the other joint employer on
his behalf in negotiations, the joint employer who takes
the subsidiary role is bound by the terms and conditions
agreed upon in the negotiations. The joint employer relationship which existed in this case was imposed upon the
Sheriff by operation of law through decision of PERB and
the Sheriff, therefore, was not free to abrogate it. In the
Matter of William B. Martin, Sheriff of Ulster County and
Ulster County Unit, CSEA.
is giving Democrats a headache
— at least those Democrats wlw
think. They had earlier in the
year looked forward to major victories in races for Governor,
United States Senator and Congress in all parts of the country.
A Ford-Rockefeller administration will completely turn around
those prospects.
LETTERS T O THE EDITOR
Dilemma
At
Willowbrook
A Charge
A Response
Editor. The Leader:
Regarding your Feb. 19 editorial defending the N.Y. State
Dept. of Mental Hygiene: In
1907, when Sen. Robert Kennedy
publicly exposed the "concentration camp" conditions of Willowbrook. he was accused of grabbing "newspaper 1iea<Hlnes." Tou
are leveling the same accusation
at Sen. Frank Padavan.
EDITOR'S EEPLT: No one in
his rfeht mind could possibly
think of praising the conditions
that exist at WilknvbrodE or any
other similar institutfcm anywhere in the workl.
In the seven years since Sen.
Kennedy's exposure of these conditions. little has been done to
ameliorate them; so little, in fact,
that a suit was filed two years
ago against former Oov. Rockefeller and the Dept. of Mental
Hygiene by parents of children
at WilloWbrook. ,
W e can aiipreciate the efforts
of such men as Senator Kennedy,
newsman Oeraldo Rivera and
Assemblyman Andrew Stein to
bring these conditions to public
attention. Such men make news,
whereas efforts by rank-and-file
onployees throui^ their imion,
the
CJivll Service
Employees
Afisn., have gone largely imheralded through the years, because rank-and-file emplosrees
generally do not make news.
When rank-and-file workers try
to bring the situation to public
attention through s^isational action — s u d i as their alleged
strike a couple olf years ago —
they are penalized.
For thft past 15 months we
have been trying to work with
employees of Mental Hygiene.
We have vast docimientation on
the Irresponsibility and lack of
accountability
within
Mental
Hygiene a4; its highest levels. We
found no cooperation In ameliorating existing conditions that were
brought to their attention. Working at Mental Hygiene means
turning your head the other way
and saying nothing of the inhumane conditions which exist.
Your editorial appears to suggest that anything Is good
enougti for the handicapped. Do
you believe that parents of public school children would be
placated to know that out of
4,000 teachers, only 225 are c(mvicted felons? Or that this is not
important because the majority
of teachers are dedicated? Why
should handicapped children receive services that would not be
tolerated by parents of children
who are "normal"?
The Issue is that the mentally
retarded are voiceless inmates of
"concentration camps" who are
looked upon as less than human.
But convicted felons, homosexuals, and ex-mental patients are
not allowed to work within our
pijbllc school system. Until they
are, there is a double standard
for the mentally deficient ^ o
are not in a position to complain
if they are ill-treated.
To claim that the majority of
those who work in institutions for
the retarded are dedicated (which
might include convicted felons,
homosexuals and ex-mental patients), does not solve the problem for children who are helpless
and IH-treated by Individuals who
work in these facilities who are
not dedicated (and these might
Include the most upstanding citizen).
We cannot claim our services
to the handicapped are hiunan
and humane until the Willowbrooks no longer exist. In 1966,
Burton B]a>tt wrote a pictorial
essay called "Christmas in Purgatory" In which h e depicted
conditions In Institutions for the
retarded in New York and other
states. Eight years later these
conditions still exist and your
writing tries to gloss over them.
I only wish that Sen. Padavan
was "twisting the facts." He has
liardly begun to make them
graphic enough, since he confined himself mainly to the loss
of material goods. The loss of
human spirit is the gireat crime
and we would only hope that you
try and do something about that.
Roseiyn Freeman.
Executive Director,
Citliens Organised For
Edueational Exotdlence
W e can only pray that some
measure of human contact can
provide relief for the endless days
of emptiness endured by those
confined there.
We can respect the efforts of
Mental Hygiene CJommissloner Alan Miller for his program to
reorganize the Mental Hj^rlene
structure within the state, and
Oov. Afolcolm Wilson for his
recommendation that more funds
be made available to support the
Commissioner's program. While
we are concerned about the
feasibility of the program to decentralize Mental Hygiene facilities, we do believe it to be a sincere effort worthy of piiblic discussion, if State Senator Padavin
wanted to bring attenticxi to the
situation in mental health care.
But, instead, he chose to make
his news by spotlighting human
frailty of those persons who provide the services to the residents
of the institutions, supposedly
pointing up the waste within
the department. In truth we regard his charges a« smokescreen
to convince the public that less
funding would be needed if only
the "criminality" could be s t u ped.
We recognize the ooncem of
people like Ms. Freeman, whose
letter has prompted this reply.
We do wish that as much concern should be shown to those
convicted felons, homosexuals and
ex-mental patients . . . who are
all human beings, too.
Our editorial point (Feb. 19,
1974) was that "felons" Is a
misleading label unless you know
what the so-called crime may
have been, and how far in the
past it may have occurred. Similarly, is homosexual rape more
outrageous
than
heterosexual
rape? and is an ex-mental patient necessarily violent? Numerous great men and women of
history, as well as highly reapected leaders of American life today,
have had prison records, have
been homosexuals and have had
records as mental patients.
The question is not whether any individual falls within
one of these categories, but whetlver that person is a threat to
the safety of otlver people. And
if there Is a double standard
between the public school system aiMl the public institutions
as to the people who are allowed to work with children, perhaps
the public schools should re-examine their generalized labeling,
and consider the Individual In(Contlnued on Page 11)

Editor, The Leader:
Your article of Feb. 12. about
the promotional exam being given
to grades 3 and 4 for pnmiotion
to grade 5 was very interesting.
Now that all the legislators.
Judges, commissioners add government officials hav« been very
adequately tidcen cai^ of. FINA U j Y . the state has condescended
to give their lowest paid workers a d i a n c e to move a little
higher to better contend with the
spiraling cost of trying to survive in today's economy. There
was a marked void, however, in
that no mention was made of
promotion by exam or otherwise. of the present grade 5 e m ployee.
I wonder h o w many clerks, t y p ists and stenos (grades 3. 4 and
5) are aware that housekeepers
are in grade 4 and 6 designations,
and rumo» has it that they will
move to grade 7 by merely acquiring a hiiSi school equivalency. W e are not disputing the
fact that these Jobs are so allocated, but is their Job any more
important than ours? Do they
work harder or longer hours?
Are more skills, education and
knowledge
required?
Why
d i o u W n t the clericals get "at
least" the same considerations?
Why should they have to take a
test to get a well deserved promotion?
The grade 7s moved up to
grade 9 on the strength of a
high school diploma or equivalency. At least 95 percent of the
clericals In the Administrative
Unit have a high school diploma,
and maxiy have more schooling.
The nurses were automatically
upgraded without having to take
a test. Why shouldn't experience
and time of service count for
something in the Administrative
Unit as well?
The amount of work and responsibilities of the Administrative Unlit have grown by leaps
and boimds during the past five
years in the Dept. of Mental H y giene, yet nothing has been done
to reallocate grades and titles
CMnmensurate to the jobs. Perhaps we should all become housekeepers; then, we might receive
some consideration and recognition. At the very least, we would
make more money!

OES the citizen stand
a chance?"
The provocative question
is posed as a book title by
Assemblyman Peter Berle (D.,
Manhattan 68th District) about
state legislatures in general and
New York in particular. Although
he assembles an awesome amount
of argument and fact to the contrary, he does answer the question quite afHrmatlvely: "Of
course he does."
Whether you agree with the
conclusion or not, Mr. Berle's
new paper-bound book (Elarron's
Educational Series, Inc., Woodbury, N.Y., $1.25) pokes a longneeded flashlight into the workings of that possibly antiquated
law-making machine whicii is the
State Legislature in Albany.
In an interview with The
Leader, the young Assemblyman
(age 36), who was elected in
1968 as the first successful Democratic candidate for years in
this Republican bastion, said the
book was designed to give the
citizen a "roadmap" to the Legislature. "Large numbers of voters often come to Albany, representing nonmonied interests, and
much of their efforts are wasted.
They don't know who does what
to whom or where the power
lies."
Sometimes the voice of the
public rises to a point to overwhelm the Legislature into a
needed change,_ and Mr. Berle
cited the outcry last year against
day-care fund cuts and the recent rape law change.
Berlel
"The most effective kind of
letter, of course, is something
that is not a form letter, but
is written by someone expressing
their views in their own words.
It need only be a couple of
sentences on a postcard. You
know that somebody cared enough
about it to sit down and communicate with you. I think a
politician understands that a person who does that is also prepared to cast an informed vote,
either for you or against you
the next time around."
The Assemblyman, however,
urged concerned citizens not to
merely write letters, but to actively take an interest in the
candidates before an election.
"Most people." he said, "by the
time tSiey get concerned about
the Legislature don't do it imtii
somebody is already there, and
once that person is there he may
have a different constituency or
a different point of view. Clearly, you have to organize a group
and take a look at candidates
and be prepared to endorse or
not endorse them . . . If you elect
the person, you can be sure he's
going to be much more responsive toward you than someone
he's never heard of. It's human
nature to be most responsive to
the people who have helped you."
In his book he cites the clout
that unions can wield, because
they have both money and mem-

bers. Special interest groups
such as banks and insiorance
companies have money, but don't
represent public interests. Groups
that represent people's interests
don't have money. Unions, however. have the money and can
organize members into applying
direct political pressure on legislators.
But how does a bill get to be
passed, and what obstacles stand
before any new piece of legislation? Various sections of the
book outline the mechanics of the
legislative process. Mr. Berle
noted that about 15,000 pieces
of legislation will be introduced
during the six months session,
but only about 2,000 will come to
the floor.
He said, "A lot of what comes

that kind of reform in Albany whicSi will permit this to

than an unusual one. But we

He commented that with the
change in Governors, Malcolm
Wilson "doesn't exercise the kind
of clout that Rockefeller did."
He saw this as a positive step
in the legislative process.
Here's how it looks on the inside. The Assembly is in session

to the public and the press.
"That was heralded as a great
step ahead." he said, "but the
problem is that committee agendas are determined exclusively
and solely by committee chairmen. Even though I'm the ranking minority member on the
Committee
of
Environmental
Conservation, I can't get a bill
on that agenda if the chairman
doesn't want it."
Because of the tremendous volume of legislation introduced,
committees are essential and act
as a filter in the legislative process. But the New York Legislature does not maintain a re-
He questioned the yardsticks
by which the legislatures were
measured, and thought several
state legislatures are much more
responsive to the public than
New York. "Other states seem
to be much less bound to party
discipline than us," he said. "For
instance, Ohio passed an Income
tax on a bipartisan basis, something that would be unlikely
here."
"Our system of checks and
balances has broken down here
more substantially than in other
places," he continued. "This was
primarily because of the ability
of Governor Rockefeller to get
his way by one means or another. Our Legislature is not a
separate and equal branch of
govenunent, providing innovation and a check and balance on
the executive power."
Are Individual letters to legislators effective? Mr. Berle replied: "I think they have a lot

New York State has been rated
No. 2 in the country among the
best legislature by the Citizens
Conference on State Legislatures.
Mr. Berle commented: "It shows
that state governments nationally
are in very sorry shape. Maybe
we are the second best (to California), but if that's the case
the rest of the country is pretty
bad."
Mr. Berle found that one of
the primary weak points of the
New York Legislature is that
"it has insulated itself from public pressure. Power is concentrated in the hands of one or two
people." Mr. Berle went on to
detail the awesome power of the
Speaker of the Assembly (Perry
B. Duryea), who can give life or
death to any bill.
"These people did a lot of
lobbying and educating of the
legislators, and it is this kind of
example that gives me some hope.
"If it is a form letter, the Assemblyman measures them by
the pound. He knows that if
there are three of them, it is
not a big issue in his constituency. and if he has 500 or 1,000
he knows he's got to be responsive. If he opposes them, he has
to have good reasons for doing
it, and it is more difficult for
him to make a deal on an issue
for support of something else.
each year. And because of home
rule in this state, a lot of legislation deals with purely local
problems. If you want to change
the police schedules in New York
City, you have to pass a bill in
the Legislature, which is silly."

He noted that the younger politicans, such as himself, had from

flective proportion of Deniocrats
to Republicans on committees.
"That's one of the big abuses,"
said Mr. Berle, "and one of the
ways you maintain party iontrol.
The Republicans aren't the only
fellows responsible for tnis. The
House is split 80 Republicans to
70 Democrats, which is a fairly close ratio, but on committees
the proportion is 3-2 or even
worse. In the Ways and Means
Committee where I serve we've
got seven Democrats and something like 19 Republicans."
But Mr. Berle is confident beneficial changes in legislative rulM

there are
"increasing
numbers of young men up there
who are taking a fresh look at
the process, who are independent in their viewpoint and have

Letters T o T h e Editor
Job Lindsay & Chase For Health
Editor, H i e Leader:
Por shame, Mr. Bauch! Why
take cheap pot-shots at the new
Commissioner of Health? He has
been in office barely twt) months
and faces the herculean task of
dismantling Health Services Administration and reorganizing the
City Department of Health to reestablish its position as OIK
of the leaders In the field of public health.
Dept
Ask Positive
Ills On Clerical
civil service Health Dept. employees, on the sidelines, cheering as many of the HSA politically ensconsed flunkies bite the
dust, due to definitive action
on the part of Dr. Lowell Bellin
and his team.
Jack Greene
Administrative Manager
NTC Dept. of Health
This monstrosity, HBA, this
morass of professional inadequacy and administrative inefficiency, was bequeathed to Commissioner Lowell Bellin by his predecessors. You say "it may be
that the Health Dept. will never
be the same." The same as what?
Who in his right miiid wants it
in the same state in which Mayor
Lindsay and Gordon Chase left
it? You speak of "damage to
the professionalism of the Health
Department" as a current and
ongoing thing. That "damage"
was done during Lindsay and
Chase's tenure, and you should
not even suggest that Mayor
Beame or Commissioner Bellin
are remotely responsible.
New titles were established
from way out in left field. Vacancies in higher clerical and
administrative lines of promotion were abolished in order to
provide the monies for the new
"way out" titles. Open competitive. unassembled, and Rule 5.3.6.
exams were very rapidly held to
fill these never-before needed
titles. The merit system became
a shambles. The HSA Bureau of
Personnel Services, a product of
Lindsays" Administration, responded accordingly and created a
credibility gap between it and
career personnel that persists and
will go down in infamy.
Despite the irreparable damage,
despite our impatience, restlessness and low morale, we have
been aroused and incensed by
your unjust criticism. We have
suffered under HSA and are now
certainly anxious to give the new
man a chance. He c a n t do any
worse than has been done and
he certainly will, judging from
his credentials, strive to do a
hell of a lot better than his predecessors.
You ask "how come former
HSA
Administrator
Gordon
Chase did not appoint the then
Deputy Commissioner of Health
Dr. Lowell Bellin to be his Health
Commissioner?" You know the
answers. Dr. Bellin did not have '
the political "clout." the access
to City Hall and Grade Mansion that Chase's appointee had. .
nor did Dr. Bellin have "Jie willingness to become a figure head.
Indeed, the very fact that Mr.
Chase did not appoint Dr. Bellin
further dignifies our new Commissioner.
Your slings and barbs, Mr.
Bauch, are probably well-intentioned but are misdirected. You
are rattling the wrong skeletons
and looking in Uie wrong closets.
You certainly do not reflect the
feelings of the vast majority
of career service employees of
the Dept. of Health.
Incidentally, In your civil service lifetime, have you known
any newly appointed commissioiver who has not exercised
his prerogative to appoint his
own deputies and his own assistant? Commissioner Bellin cannot be faulted for selecting his
own team.
"Witch hunt?" Tell It like it
is. There are thousands of career
Urges Vet
Credits
For Pension Rights
Editor, The Leader:
This is a letter sent to Perry
B. Dnryea, Jr., speaker of the
State Assembly, by the Probation
And Parole Officers Assn. Of
Greater New York.
The Executive Committee of
this imion voted unanimously to
support the principle of allowing
veterans credit towards their pension rights for time served on
behalf of the Government of the
United States of America during World War U.
We therefore urge you to take
Immediate action to secure the
passage of Bill #6122 which is
now before the Assembly Committee on Governmental Operations.
Passage of this important bill
would equitably extend to affected city employees the same
benefit which is now enjoyed by
federal and state employees.
There are a large number of
Probation Officers now in city
service who would benefit from
passage of this legislation. It is
on their behalf that we implore
you to give serious consideration
to its favorable passage.
Thank you for your prompt
attention to this matter.

Want Career
Ladder
Editor, The Leader:
The Albany Region executive
committee in meeting March 4.
1974, expressed their strong support for the scheduled demonstration on Career Ladders, which
Is to be held at the Capitol on
March 19, 1974, as approved by
the statewide Board of Directors
for the Civil Service Employees
Assn.
Although the demonstration
was proposed originally on the
basis of the state's unwillingness
to move on the Pood Service
Career Ladder, it Is obvious that
the importance of career ladders
afifects all public sector em;
ployees.
Let's turn this one demonstration into a positive action to
insure the state government's
awareness of our concern in this
area.

Action
Workers
Editor, The Leader:
The following letter was submitted to Dr. Theodore € . Wenzl,
president of the Civil Sendee
Employees Assn.
This letter is an appeal to our
parent organization for positive
action on behalf of the members of this chapter who belong
to the Administrative Service
Unit. Por as far back as I can
personally remember, the clerical
workers have been promised any
number of possible reclassifications or career ladders or upgradings of any kind. I, along
with this group, feel that the
carrot has been dangled long
enough. No one can be expected
to faithfully perform the duties
required of this group for the
length of time already consumed
between the onset of career ladder discussions and the present
without feeling frustrated, despondent, and helpless.
Reiterating the monumental,
voluminous and tedious tasks
performed by this group would,
at this point, be redundancy.
Since there is no doubt that
headquarters is aware of this
group's activities and has discussed t'ne topic at great length
with
the
State's
bargaining
agents, it is difficult to comprehend how nothing has materialized thus far. TTnis fact, coupled
with numerous promises, guarantees. etc., concerning the future
implementation of this specific
career ladder has led to a worsening of this situation.
At this instant, a petition is
being circulated among the members of this chapter, signed by
people representing all strata
of employees. Apparently there
are many who are aware of the
plight of the clerical 'group. If
these many people are this aware,
I can only request that our parent organization demand responsible responses from the State.
This situation cannot persist.
Martin Langer,
President, CSEA Rockland
State HospiUl Chapter
Hike Secretary
Pay
Editor, The Leader:
In your Feb. 19, issue, you had
an article: "Werner Joins Secretaries' Upgrade Plea."
Who pleads for upgrading of
salaries for engineering secretaries? In private industry they
are classified much higher than
the common job "secretary." The
engineering secretary must be
familiar with highly technical
terms and works under heavy
pressure.
I can speak for myself. I have
had 20 years of varied engineering secretarial experience in private Industry and seven years
with the State Department. My
salary with the State Department
comes nowhere near what I earned in private Industry yet my
work Is just as exacting and responsible. Why not raise the salary of secretaries In this very
important field?

stead.
In all, the issue is improved
care for residents of Mental Hygiene institutions. Verbal attacks
on the employees do not provide
the solutions, but rather they
decoy the public's attention from
ttie real, serious problems of the
Mental Health care that an overburdened staff is expected to
provide.
Perhaps Ms. Freeman can
document the "irresponsibility
and lack of accountability with
Mental Hygiene at its highest
levels." For us, though, "employees" means the attendants,
nurses, food service, laundry,
maintenance and clerical workers who provide the everyday
services. It is ttiese people that
we meant when we said that
Mental Hygiene workers would
be Senator Padavin's greatest
supporters if he were to take a
positive approach to improving
the situation instead of trying to
grab headlines by sensationalizing on one emotional topic.

Report Praises
And Criticizes
Sanitation Dept
The Dept. of Sanitation was
both praised for certain productivity improvements and condemned for wasteful practices
and "featherbedding" in a report
issued last week by the Citizens
Budget Commission.
Six areas in which the Commission cited improvements were:
• An increase in the amount
of refuse collected per truck shift.
• A decline in the number of
missed refuse collections.
• A decline in the armual
number of truck shifts.
• The freeing of about $5 million worth of manpower a year
for other duties.
• The cutting of repair-time
schedules for motorized equipment.
• A reduction in the number
of trucks out of service.
Pour areas cited in the report
as in Immediate need for improvement are:
• Shifting refuse collections
from individual sanitation men
lifting 50-pound cans or bags to
motorized hoist compactors mechanically lifting containers holding as much as 6,000 pounds of
refuse. Presently, four percent
of the city's refuse is handled
tiirough containers while at least
an additional seven percent could
be handled this way. saving the
city $2 million a year.
• Only about half the time
alloted to street sweeping is actually spent sweeping the streets,
costing the city as much as $4.7
million in wasted time.
• The use of three men on
a truck is featherbedding and
trucks outside Manhattan should
be manned by two men.
• Private cartment can do the
work now handled by the public
service at half the cost and the
private cartment should be used
in controlled experiments in city
sanitation.

Assembly
Info Office
Now Open
ALBANY — An Assembly
Office of Public Information
has been opened in the
Capitol, in Room 148.
Assembly Speaker Perry B.
Duryea said, "This new office,
the first legislative office of its
kind in state history, has been established to provide a central
point for making Assembly records available for public information.
"The increased accessibility of
these records should serve the
combined purpose of pronotlng
government responsibility, restoring public confidence in the governmental structure — and creating awareness of committee operations
and
accomplishments
within the Assembly."
. Among the materials available
in the office, Mr. Duryea said,
are transcripts of Assembly debates, copies of Assembly roll
call votes and standing committee agenda, attendance and voting records and payroll rosters
of Assembly employees.
At the same time, the Speaker
said that he has asked standing
committee chairmen to provide
copies of 1973 committee annual
reports to the new office.
The annual reports outline
work done by the Assembly
standing committees during the
1973 legislative session and the
months between the 1973 adjournment and the opening of
the 1974 session. They also contain projections of issues to be
considered, and legislation to be
proposed and enacted in the 1974
session.

Fire Exam Scheduled For Fall
City 'Announcement' This W e e k
The new exam for fireman
has been pushed back to the
fall and filing may not open
until spring. The city Dept. of
Personnel is expected to
make
an
announcement
this week on the tentative
filing and test dates as well
as on those long-awaited requirements candidates will
have to meet.
Pire
Ooimnissioner
John
O'Hagan told Tl»e Leader the
original "target" date of June 8
for the exam had "slipped" and
that the exam is now tentatively
slated for the fall.
The opening filing date had
hinged on the recommendations
of the American Institute for
Research which was contracted
by the Dept. of Personnel to conduct a n extensive job-analysis of
the fire fighters' duties. The recommendations were made last
week, however they must be
agreed upon by a number of
groups involved in a legal suit
which resulted in the holding of
a new exam.
The AIR report concerns recommendations on age and height
requirements, as well as whether
candidates must be male and
whether lack of a high school
diploma and conviction for a
felony will bar applicants.
Indications, and they are only
that, are that filing may open
in April and extend to mid-summer to allow for a minority recruitment program similar to
those held for the police and
sanitation tests. Part of that program will involve two five-<week
tutorial sessions conducted by
black and Hispanic firemen.
The scenario for the whole process could possibly run like this:
establish requirements and open
filing in April or May; close filing in July, allowing enough time
for extensive minority recruitment given the limitations of a
transient summer population; hold
tutorial sessions from August
through September; exam in
October.
Presumably the city will allow
enough time between announcing
the requirements and opening
filing so that interested persons
will know if they qualify. When
filing actually opens, candidates
should race to the Dept. of Personnel, 49 Thomas St., Manhattan, to file their applications
since tie scorers on the exam
will be ranked on the eligible
list according to when they
filed.
The last exam was declared u n constitutional last simuner by a
federal judge who said it discriminated against blacks and
Hispanics. The list from that
exam would normally have been
used for four years, but the
court threw it out. When the
Fire Dept. said it still needed recruits. however, the court ruled
the list could be used if one
minority were hired for every
three non-minorities.
Three such protMtionary classes
have b e « i appointed so far.
The next, with only 60 trainees,
will be appointed March 28. T h a t
class will o(Hitain 15 minorities
and 45 non-min<Nities, according
to the one-and-three rate.
H i e last list numbers reached
for this class will not exceed
8,971 on the minority list and
2,100 on the non-minority list.
After the Mareh 28 class, only
about 185 blacks and Hispanics
will be left on the list.
The federal court said that if
a new list — resulting from what
presumably would not be an u n constitutional test — could not
be ready for hiring purposes by
June 30, the parties would have
to reapply to the court for an
extension of the preswit hiring
method.
It is likely, however, that the
185 minorities will be exhausted
before a new list is anywhere
near ready. (If the test is in
the fall, it could be that the new
list would not be ready until the
following spring. It could ts^e
even longer if the physical part
of the exam — now qualifying —
is changed to competitive.)
Roughly 30 candidates have to
be "certified" in order to obtain 15 who will be a n o i n t e d ,
so at the rate of 30 every eight
weeks (the length of time between each class), the minorities
could be depleted by the end of
this year.
So far there have been no
formal proposals as to how the

Fire Dept. could keep making
appointments (when the minorities are depleted) and still conform to the judge's ruling that
the exam was unconstituticmal.
When Uie poUce eligible lists
were exhausted, for instance, the
Police Dept. began drawing on
the Trsuisit and Housing Authorities poUce eUgible lists. But
it is generally agreed that there
is no city eligible list comparable
to fireman.

CJ
ALBANY — A number of bills of interest to members
of the Civil Service Employees Assn. will be introduced in
this session of the Legislature.
John C. Rice, CSEA counsel and lobbyist, has been working with various legislators, putting finishing touches on
wording of the bills to make them acceptable to the
senators and assemblymen who have agreed to act as sponsors in the two houses of the State Legislature.
This sponsorship of bills is a routine form of operation
in the workings of the Legislature, and, as part of the legal
process, lobbyists representing special interests such as
those of the Civil Service Employees Assn., are registered
and recognized as a valuable supportive force in the legislative process.
While these bills listed below represent the bulk of
those pertaining to CSEA members this session, the Association is also expected to take a position on other bills
affecting state and local government employees as soon
as CSEA's Legislature-watchers become aware of them.
In addition, there are other pieces of legislation on
which the CSEA lobbyists are still working out wording
with potential sponsors.
In the meantime, the bills printed below are the ones
which have already or soon will begin their travels through
the legislative process.

(Continued from Page 1)
ers Retirement System expires
on March 31.
Thomas J. Linden, Cl^lA collective negotiating specialist who
discussed the union's stand on
these items, stated: "Management has offered a SVi iJercent
salary increase. OSBA can justify much more than that. The
cost of living went up 1 percent
in one m o n t h and a total of
almost 10 percent in the year
to date.
"Five and a half percent was
management's first and last offer
and the membership would never
buy it, especially when the membership can see other public
sector employees receiving pay
increases suibstantially higher than
t h a t inclusive of increments.
There is a firm resolve on the
p a r t of the membership not to
simply accept whatever the state
got. b u t to truly negotiate a fair
and adequate pay increase."
He continued, "Every contract
should have binding arbitration,
and the Teachers Retirement System is no exception. The Blue
Shield dental plan needs Improvement, a n d the employees
