Carey's Hiring Freeze Prompts
Civil Service Test Postponement
Civil Service examinations
for 26 state jobs scheduled to
be held Feb. 8 have been indefinitely postponed, the
State Civil Service Commission announced this week
The ix>stF>onement, which affects 25,000 job applicants, was
ordered by the Commission because of Gov. Hugh Carey's job
freeze on all state hiring.
Governor Carey said the state's
huge projected budget deficit was
the reason for the freeze.
Anthony Costanzo, director of
public relations for the commission, said he was certain the
tests will eventually be rescheduled but couldn't say when. He
said the 25,000 applicants are
being notified by mail.
The move was another in a
series of events t h a t have civil
service workers and union leaders across the state worried and
angry. Many municipalities are
also laying off workers for similar reasons. In New York City,
Mayor Abraham D. Beame last
week announced the firing of
4,050 workers, including firemen
and policemen. This brings the
total number of city firings to
11,985. Other cities across the
nation are expected to follow
suit.
The 26 postponed tests are:
Professional careers, senior
public health educator, public
works wage investigator, senior
engineering geologist, assistant
engineering geologist, supervising
public health educator, engineer.
Ing aide, engineering technician,
senior engineering technician, as-

MANHATTAN—Two New York legislators. Assemblyman Guy R. Brewer of Queens and
U.S. Rep. Charles B. Rangel, have endorsed a proposal by a Workmen's Compensation
Board employee to change the name of that State agency.
Leo Bailey, a Civil Service Employees Assn. member in the Workmen's Compensation
Boaixi enforcement unit in Marir
hattan, in a letter to Ralph A.
Garrison Jr., the State suggestion
program coordinator, observed:
"In view of the. current women's
liberation movement and the
worldwide hiunan rights struggle, it would be a step in the
right direction if this agency
were retitled 'The Worker's Compensation Board.'"
Mr. Bailey added that if his
suggestion was adopted, "It
would earn the respect of the
future generations and all concerned."
Mr. Garrison responded that

changing the title of the Workmen's Compensation Board is not
an administrative function but
one t h a t would require an act

Taking the issue to legislators,
Mr. Bailey recently received a
letter from Mr. Brewer stating,
"I certainly see no harm in this
change; in fact, I think the name
will be more appwopriate." Mr.
Brewer added t h a t he intends to

The Division administrators who
took p a r t in the talks were area
directors J a m e s Slavin a n d Edward Caine and the director of
manpower services. Nelson Hooper.
The three Division administrators said t h a t about 90 Employm e n t Service workers will be
transferred to the Unemployment
Insurance Division. This move,
they said, should ease the workload in t h a t Division whUe insuring t h a t there will be n o layo f f s on the Employment Service side.
The administrators assured the
CSEA officials t h a t the union will
be consulted a n d advised of all
transactions affecting employees.
Mr. Cooper and Mr. Caine said
t h a t all t r a n s f e r s will be based
on seniority a n d efforts will be
made to place employees a t posts
within easy access to their homes.
Irving P l a u m e n b a u m , president of the Nassau c h a p t e r . Civil
Service Employees Assn., told a
full-house crowd in Bellmore t h a t
CSEA was battling both the raid
and m a n a g e m e n t tactics in the
effort to bring the negotiations
to a conclusion.
The challenge, he said, h a s no
chance of success and c a n only
serve to delay a settlement.
Meanwhile, m a n a g e m e n t may
be charged with u n f a i r labor
practices because of reports f r o m
angry members t h a t they h a d
been threatened with reprisals
for joining CSEA.
The threats apparently failed
to intimidate the BOCES workers; more t h a n 150 CSEA m e m bership application cards were
filled out at the meeting. This
should bring CSEA membership
to close to 100 percent among the
500 employees of BOCBS.
Mr. Plaumenbaum described
management's tactics as "stalling
. . . with ridiculous offers." Talks
are now eight m o n t h s old.
T h e dispute h a d gone to a
f a c t - f i n d e r a n d was nearing a
showdown when the Service E m ployees International Union filed
a challenge seeking a n election
among the district's 150 blue-oollar workers.
Mr. Plaumenbaum told t h e
employees t h a t CSEA was pressing t h e Public Employment Relations Board to quickly dispose
of t h e challenge so t h a t work
on a settlement can be resumed.
"As soon a s P E R B rules, we
will resume, and if there is no
action forthcoming we will meet
again to determine our course of
action," h e declared.
The rally was also attended by
CSEA collective bargaining specialist George Peak a n d field
representative Michael Alello.

CSEA Enlisting In Laundry
Worker Upgrading
Campaign
FISHKILL--William Blom, director of research for Civil Service Employees Assn., is
investigating possible intercession by the union in the upgrading of all state laundry workers and employees working under similar titles.
The upgrading, sought by state laundry workers for a number of years, has met with
apparent stalling tactics on the
p a r t of t h e Legislature on several occasions. At the last S o u t h ern Region S executive board
meeting, a motion was overwhelmingly passed authorizing
Region president J a m e s J . Lenn o n to ask t h e union's legal a n d
research d e p a r t m e n t s in Albany
to enter the iasue. Mr. Lennon
recently received a letter ftnm
CSEA president Theodore C.
Wenzl, stating t h a t Mr. Blom is
investigating t h e m a t t e r .
Laundry workers in the S o u t h ern Region are expected to respond heavily with petitions in
s u i ^ r t of t h e upgrading. Mr.
Lennon h a s already turned over
to Mr. Blom a number of peti-
tions from Wassaic Developmental Center, citing them as "a
dranuitic and effective way to
show support of the move."
Members of s t a t e chapters are
urged to send their petitions to:
William Blom, Director of Research, OBBA, 33 Blk St., Albany,
N.Y. 19207.

may be the beginnings of a trend toward appointing civil servants to various committees that affect public

Last fall, then-Gov. Malcolm Wilson appointed Thomas

for the directorship of t h a t Mental Hygiene Institution, and
John Famelette, a leader of the same union's Poughkeepsie

Argument
On
Increments
A Public Employment Relations Board hearing officer
has, in effect, held a legislative determination of a school
board to be violative of Sections 209(a) ( l ) ( a ) and (a)(l)i(d)
of the Taylor Law.
The case is In the Mattter of Massapequa Union Free
School District and Civil Service Employees Assn., Case No.
1221.
CSEA charged t h a t the school district committed an
improper practice pursuant to Sections 209(a)(1)(c) and
(d) of the Act when it refused to (1) pay annual increments
due for the period May 10 to June 30, 1974, and (2) move
its blue-collar employees entitled to annual increments to
the next step of the graded salary plan for the 1973-74 school
year and pay annual increments for the 1974-75 school year
which were due and payable to said employees on or before
July 1, 1974.
The parties have been in a negotiating relationship for
a number of years but have had numerous confrontations
concerning the payment of increments. On May 10, 1974, the
school board issued a decision after a legislative heaiing
declaring t h a t the terms and conditions of employment for
1973-74 which presently provided t h a t increments are not
automatic and not part of a status quo continuation of any
expired contract. It should be noted t h a t in July 1973 the
same school district had declined to pay increments and
was held in violation of the so-called Triborough doctrine
by PERB and ordered to pay increments from July 1, 1973,
to the blue-collar employees. CSEA contended t h a t the district had never raised the issue of the abolition of increments
during negotiations. The CSEA further contended t h a t since
the district had failed to raise the issue at any point during
negotiations or during the impasse procedure, including the
legislative hearing, the school boiird was barred from making
a determination on an issue which was not before it.
«
«
«
CSEA ALSO CONTENDED t h a t the Triborough doctrine,
as further enunciated in the Mt. Vernon case, 5 PERB 3100,
barred the District from making a determination which
would extend into a period beyond the end of the fiscal year.
In the Mt. Vernon case, PERB had held t h a t a legislative
determination is effective for the period of one fiscal year
only. The analysis of the school board's resolution showed
t h a t it sought to prevent the payment of increments commencing July 1, 1974, a date which fell outside the fiscal
year by one day. CSEA concluded, therefore, t h a t the school
board was without jurisdiction to issue a determination affecting the 1974-75 school year in a legislative hearing called
to impose conditions of employment for 1973-74. Further,
CSEA contended t h a t the school board was without jurisdiction to make any ruling concerning the implications of past
agreements between CSEA and the district, since t h a t also
was outside the period for which the body could properly
impose terms and conditions of employment.
The hearing officer rejected the first argument of CSEA
and stated t h a t the legislative body may implement terms
and conditions of employment not brought before it and not
on the negotiating table if it concludes t h a t such imposition
is in the best interest of the public and the public employees
involved to do so. However, the hearing officer also concluded
that CSEA was incorrect when it contended that the employees were entitled to the increments for the period May
10 to June 30, 1974, since this action of the legislative body
clearly related to the fiscal year for which the district'.s
legislative body had statutory authority to establish terms
and conditions of employment.
«
*
*
HOWEVER. THE HEARING officer did accept CSEA's
argument that the district had acted improperly when it
unilaterally set terms and conditions of employment lor
1974-75 on the grounds that the increments commenced on
July 1, 1974, which was the following fiscal year. The hearing
officer stated: "I cannot see that the decision t h a t 'increments are not automatic and are not a part of any status
quo continuation of any expired contract' has anything at
all to do with establishing terms and conditions of employment for the 1973-74 school year. Rather, as the record indicates, they were words drafted by its chief negotiator in
anticipation of the forthcoming negotiations and accepted
by the board of education in its role in preparing for the
1974-75 negotiations. Thus, I find t h a t this part of the de(Contlnued on P»c« II)

decisions.
T h e civil service employee,
perhaps better t h a n anyone else,
is intimately familiar with t h e
quality and character of the
public services provided by government agencies. The civil service employee knows where the
fat is in the budget and knows
where economies may be made
without firing employees and
without impairing the quality of
the public services.
Repeal of the Hatch Act is
essential to permit the civil service employee to play a significant role in political decision
making. Justice Holmes omce
served t h a t institutions continue
to exist long after the disappearance of the reasons t h a t ordained
them. This Is certainly true of

C a r e y Releases U.S. Funds
T o Local-Level Public Jobs
ALBANY—-Gov. Hugh L. Carey has approved the distribution of approximately . $9
million in federal funds to 33 of New York's smaller counties now experiencing severe unemployment.
With the grants, local governments will create public service jobs for those who have
been unemployed for more t h a n
15 days. Preference for the jobs
will be given to those persons
who have been unemployed for
more than 15 weeks and who
have exhausted their jobless benefits. The funds would cover the
costs of salaries and fringes in
the new jobs for a year. The program Is wholly funded by the
federal government.
Governor Carey has jurisdiction over the distribution of the
federal manpower funds to counties with populations of less than
100,000 people; larger counties
receive federal manpower funds
directly. The money Is available
under Title VI of t h e federal
Comprehensive Employment and
Training Act.

What's so hot about it? Begin with the name. Scirocco: a swift, hot wind that howls up out of the desert. Scirocco,
the powerful new 2+2 sport coupe from Volkswagen. Start it. First, the sound of an overhead-cam, 1.5-liter engine.
Mounted transversely in front over the drive wheels for incredible traction. Go. Seven and a half seconds later you're
going fifty miles an hour. Scirocco's hot, but not too hot to handle. Front-wheel drive and progressive rack-and-pinion
steering account for the sharp steering response and good neutral cornering ability. And this is the ride of your life.
Coil-spring shock absorbers up front and a totally new rear stabilizer axle provide true four-wheel independent
suspension. With great roadability on tight curves and rough surfaces. Scirocco is this, and much more. All at about

waiting for is coming. Scirocco. Listen for the howl.

(From Leader Correspondent)
MINEOLA—The Nassau chapter, Civil Service Employees Assn., has mounted a project to aid the 10 children left without parents by the death of a member, it was announced
by chapter president Irving Flaumenbaum.
Drawing tickets are being prepared for a drive to start this week in an effort to raise
a "tidy sum" to help the 10
children of the late Joseph Nadolny. The youngsters have vowed
to stick together as a family
because their mother, who died
in 1966 of a heart attack, and
father, who succumbed to cancer
Jan. 13, would want them to be
together.
The Nadolny youngsters range
In age from 21 to 8.
The project was set after the
children were visited last week
by Mr. FTa/umenbaum and Bob
Richter, president of the Department of Public Works unit, to
which Mr. Nadolny belonged.
Mr. Richter delivered a gift
of $400 voted by the unit to
kick off the campaign to aid
the family.
They found t h a t the two old-
est boys, Paul and Robert both
20, had recently been laid off
from their jobs, but Robert had
just found a new job in a food
warehouse and Paul had been
offered jobs by the same warehouse and by the Nassau Off
Track Betting Corp. Dolores
works as a checker In a supermarket.
The oldest, Kathy, 21, who Is
confined to a wheelchair because
of a spinal defect she has had
since birth, has found it particularly tough to find work.
Their father, who had worked
in the road maintenance division
of the DPW for four years, went
into the Nassau County Medical
Center In December and learned
t h a t he was suffering from ter-
Memorial For Gloria FIsming
Contributions and volunteers for a special fund-raising
project in memory of Gloria Fleming are being sought by
members of the Civil Service Employees Assn. Albany Region 4.
Region activities chairman Cosmo Lembo announced last
week t h a t plans are being formulated for CSEA participation
in a Cerebral Palsy Telethon in Albany on Feb. 15 a n d / o r 16.
As many as 160 volunteers to man the telephones will be
needed.
In addition, money contributions are being solicited. Mr.
Lembo said that it is hoped that enough funds wUl be collected
to buy a piece of equipment in Mrs. Fleming's memory.
Mr. Lembo eulogized Mrs. Fleming, who had served on the
Region's activities committee and was chairman of the Mix
and Mingle dance last spring. In a voice choked with emotion,
he described her as a "tremendous worker for CSEA and the
Region, and whose death left a void in the lives of those people
who worked with her."
Contributions and names of volunteers for the Telethon
may be sent to: Mary Lynch/273 Western Ave./Albany, N. Y.
12203. Checks should be made out to : CSEA Albany Region,
and will be placed in a special fund.
minal cancer. He signed out just
before Christmas to be with his
family, but returned to the hospital two days after the holiday.
Even before his death, the
family had been assisted by the
Department of Social Services because Mr. Nadolny's pay could
not feed 10 mouths.
Since theli- tight situation was
reported in local newspapers, the
Nadolnys have received job offers and other forms of aid.
But, Mr. Plaumenbaimi said,
they need a major Infusion of
money to help them In their selfappointed job of keeping together a family.
"Joseph Nadolny can be proud
of these youngsters," Mr. Flaumenbaum said. "The only other
thing that could make him happy would be to know t h a t his
fellow civil servants will rally to
protect and help his children.
So, that's just what we are going to do."
Drawing books are to be distributed throughout t h e 20,000member chapter this week.
It can rain all it wants to at Central Islip, but grounds employees
of the Mental Hygiene Department's Psychiatric Center there are
going to be dry. FOul weather gear has been provided by the state

Niagara White-Collar Employees
Spurn County's Contract Offer
NIAGARA FALLS—White-collar employees of Niagara County, represented by the
Civil Service Employees Assn., last week unanimously rejected the county negotiators' final
offer of a $615 increase and directed the union's negotiating team to hold out for a raise
at least equivalent to the rise in the cost of living last year.
With almost half of the 800
affected employees present a t a
meeting here the decision was
reached by aoclaanatlon, a f t e r the
union's negotiating team reported on the final offer but made
no recommendation.
Nurses and social workers covered by the contract pointed out
t h a t the proposed increase for
them would be in the neig-hborhood of 5 percent and that, they
said, is totally unrealistic and

better understanding of the needs
and wants of the general membership.
"Where the outsiders further
err," Mr. Cleary continued, "is
in underestimating the ability of
the membership to pull together
when the decisions Imve been
made."
Taylor Law Provisions
The Syracuse Region 5 president noted t h a t various coimty
chapters within the Region have
already experienced challenges
by outside unions, and t h a t the
state bargaining units can be
challenged this year under provisions of the Tayk)r Law.
"The outside unions have a
tremendous financial pui-se to
fight us with." Mr. Cleary said.
"It will be the responsibility of
each and every member to combat their exaggerated claims of
what they will do for us If *'/hey
win the challenge."
He explained tiiat the best way
to counter efforts by the outside
orRanizatioios is by refusing to
sign authorisation cards.
"Challenges cost money." Mr.
Cleary said. "We prefer to use
CSEA dues to p i w i d e improved
services to our nitimbers. Even
though the outsiders are consistently beaten in their challenges
to CSEA, they continue to make
the e f f o r t in the hopes t h a t they
can drain the CSEA treasury
and cause a cutback in our services. They hope t h a t by weakening our union, they can cause
us to forfeit our status as the
lai-gest Independent public employees union In the world."
In order to combat this happening, Mr. Cleary advised all
chapter presidents to hold meetin
and seminai's for their
members to acquaint them with
the tools and procedures avall•able for their protection.

early as next month.

Mr. Flaumenbaum said he had
been assured by the fact-finders
that their report was in the final
stage of preparation and would
be issued "on or before Jan. 31."
The chapter last week separately negotiated total dental

maintained by the Albany Medical Center Hospital at a monthly
fee of $5. A series of negotiations
were held prior to the relocation
between CSEA and CDiPC, with
additional meetings scheduled at
the time the relocation became
effective along with the attempt
to Impose the parking fee.
CSEA filed a grievance on the
situation on the last working day
prior to the move. On the first
day at the new location, CSEA
filed an Improper practice charge
with the Public Elmployment Relations Board. The director of the
Capital District Psychiatric Center denied CSEA's grievance late
last week, and CSEA quickly appealed the denial direct to the
State Mental Hygiene Depart-
ment, where it is now pending.
Meanwhile, PERB has announced
It anticipates scheduling a hearing of CSEA's improper practice
charge sometime this week.
Additionally, CSEA asked the
Albany Medical Center to halt
the sale of the parking permits
in its garage pending the outcome of CSEA's Improper practice charge, but the hospital administration said it would not do
so. According to John Corcoran,
CSEA's Albany regional field supervisor, CSEA is oun-ently
studying the feasibility of instituting a law suit against the Albany Medical Center In an effort
to halt the parking permit sale.
No decision on that possible law
suit was reached at Leader press(Oontinued on Page 14)
Mr. Flaumenbaum announced
that he was asking other Region
leaders to appear with him. The

A realistic look at legal opportunities
for minorities / through the eyes of
minority lawyers — professionals who
have made it through the system as
small-town practitioners / law firm
partners / corporate counsel / government attorneys / judges / law professors / lawyer-politicians /
Here is the complete story of the minority lawyer —
from law school to law firm — in the words of those
who have successfully completed the trip... the
lawyers themselves. Each distinguished contributor
honestly tells his own exciting and, at times,
painful journey toward acceptance in a field that,

• Undergraduate students choosing law a s a
career
The minority student may not have access to
members of the profession to talk about factors to
consider in deciding on a law career. For instance,
what sources of money are available and which
law schools will accept him? Can he compete with
this "fast-talking, complicated b u n c h " ? Any
student will find experiences here that can be
valuable lessons.
• Law students considering career choices
There are dozens of ways to use the law to protect
and serve the minority community. On a larger
scope, political involvement can give direction to
important movements and may lead to election
to government. A s a professor, the minority lawyer
\yill surely enlighten and influence his white, black,
Puerto Rican and Chicano students. Career options
can be realistically evaluated by the future lawyer
after reading this book.
YOU WILL F I N D . . .
All types of practical and legal activity are covered,
including sections on:
• Careers in Private Practice
• Acadi mic Careers
• Careers in Government and Politics
• Careers in Community Interest Law
• General Aspects and Hurdles to Becoming a
Lawyer
• Perspectives from the Bench
• Ethnic Perspectives

pushed to have the 60 state employees boycott the parking garage pending the outcome of

"The employees have responded tremendously to the boycott."
according to Mr. Corcoran. "During the first week, only three

trustees have a n d do have an
obligation to observe the job
guarantees of the current bargaining agreement and we are
not going to let them Indulge in
the subterfuge of 'paper layoffs'
to shirk responsibility."
CSEA field representative Ron'
Mazzola stated that, paradoxically, while the trustees were
crying a budget crunch, they
journeyed to a convention in May
1974 a t cost to the village; t h a t
$6,000 was paid to an independent auditing firm, Einst and
Ernst, to duplicate an audit previously made by the state; t h a t
$1,300 was spejit for two typewriters when
less expensive
models could have been bought;
and t h a t $S,000 was wasted on a
special I'eferendum for a village
manager when the referendum,
at little or no additional cost,
could have been taken at the
time of the regular election.
"Prestige Offices"
"Would you call this fiscal responsibility on the part of the
elected officials?" Mr. Mazzola
asked. He further pointed out
t h a t pension and hospitalization
costs foi' the trustees and appointed officials ai-e paid in full
by the village out of tax dolUu-s,
even though these officials are
not full-time employees. He said
t h a t the trustees' office is one
of prestige and stressed, "they
don't work a t this for a living,
ao why siiould the taxpayers
foot the bUI for these b6n«flt6?"
The action to proceed befoi-e

Orleans County and continued pressure on a rival labor union within the county borders by
being certified as the exclusive
negotiating representative for
Village of Medina employees.
At one time Council 66, Ameiican Federation of State, County
and Municipal Employees, had a
virtual monopoly on public employee membership in the county,
but in late 1974, OSEA chiallenged
for representation rights, defeating AFBCME in a representation
election for county employees
and Village of Albion workeis.
The latest victory for CSEA came
on Jan. 10 when the Public Employment Relations Board certified the Medina unit of the Orleans County CSEA chapter as
tlie bargaining representative for
Medina workers.
CSEA had obtained a m a j o r ity of the slgiiatures of village
employees on designation cards,
and had then filed for decertification of APSCME. T h a t union

longer wished to represent Medina employees, a move thought
calculated to avoid yet another
election losfi to OBEA.
