New York State Thruway Authority dropped out of the picture last week.
Late last Mrtnter, the Service
Employees International Union
(SEIU) surfaced with a challenge to CSEA. It was aimed a t
the larger of the two negotla*ting units represented by CSEA
on the New York State Thruway: the unit comprised of
maintenance, toll and clerical
personnel. The SBIU petition actually sought to cut out the
clerical workers and have an
election only among the other
two occu[>atlonal groups.
On May 30, SEIU submitted
its designation cards, supposedly
signed by 30 percent of the employee group involved, indicating
thsy would like SEIU to represent them and -.isking for an
election to allow them and their
fellow workers the opportunity
to express that choice in a representation elaction.
Because of certain alleged irregularities on the designation
cards, officials of the State Public Employment Relations Board
decided to investigate the SEIU
cards. They proceeded to do so
during: the following weeks.

with SEIU and CSEA to answer

State Department of

abruptly broke off a meeting on
current layoffs with department
officials last week, when agency
officials allegedly admitted a
policy of retaining provisional
political appointeea while laying
off employees with permianent
civil service status.
Charging the department with
"'a total lack of candor" in the
ongoing discussions on Job cuts,
the CSEA committee said it wiU
call upon the State Civil Serviee
Commission for a full tovestigatlon of the matter.
The break in the midweek
meeting came diulng consideration of how to provide continued
employment for part of a group
of 300 permanent clerical workers laid off July 1 from the department's \Sanpower Services
Division. They now worit temporarily in the department's Unem.

CSEA had urged that the d ^ a r t ment agree without reservation
to give preference to these employees in canvassing to fill an
upcoming eligible list for the tHle
of senior «na4)k>yinent securHy
clerk (flO-7).
In making the propoMl, C8BA
noted that many of these positions had been filled provisionally by poUtleal appointmMkt and
that Incumbent permanent employees clearly should have the
right to bump in the event of
layoffs. Similarly, CSKA said,
even if incumbent political 'appointees quaUfied by virtue of
the recent examination to be
placed oh the eligible Ust, permanent empk>yees facing layoff
who could actually do the work
required in the senior employment security Job should, under

Dutchess Pact Is Ratified
Following Biggest County
Strike In State s History
By MARVIN BAXLEY
POUGHKEEPSIE—The largest strike of county employees in the state's history was
brought to a peaceful conclusion last week.
Near-unanimous ratification votes by the Dutchess CJounty unit of the Civil Service
Employees Assn. and the County Board of Representatives ended the week-long contract
dispute t h a t involved approxim•ately l.COO public employees.
Employees of Dutchess County, famous as the site of President Franklin Roosevelt's Hyde
Park estate overlocrftlng the Hudson River, had been without a
contract since Jan. 1 of this
year. The new pact will be retroactive to that date.
Terms of the contract, as
worked out by State Supreme

The union said it became apparent shortly, however, that the
department was saying that it
would not, in this instance or
any other, provide a flat guarantee that It would i-ecoRnize
Uie priority job rights of permanent status civil sorvice employees over political appointees. At
thi.'^ point in the meeting, tho
CSEA delegation walked out.
Four officials of the Civil Scrvice Employees Assn. cliarged the State
Department of Transportation with violating their current contract
at a hearing held last week at the Office of Employee Relations,
Albany, before an arbitrator. CSEA was represented by, from left,
Timothy Mclnerney, DOT Board Representative; Joseph Reedy, collective bargaining specialist; James Roemer,' legal counsel, and
Joseph Abbey, research assistant. Behind them are DOT employees,
laid off since June, who had been subpoenaed to court to explain
their job classifications. The union contends that the State has been
using hired consultants to do the same worli as the DOT employees
who were laid off by the state, a violation of the protection of
employees section of CSEA's collective bargaining agreements.

roll. Dr. Wenzl advised the Commissioner that the Department
"is now liable for one month's
pay to each of these employees,
without having received any services in exchange for this compensation, merely because the
Department has ignored the
Court orders."
CSEA's legal action against the
Department of Transportation
began in June when 369 DOT
employees, including laborers,
equipment operators, mechanics,
typists, file clerks and stenographers, received layoff notices.

CSEA contended, bars the State
from laying off employees capable of doing the same work as
consultants retained by the
State.
CSEA further maintained that
permanent employees in DOT
were being laid off at the same
time as the Department was contracting out for services t h a t
were or could be rendered by the
terminated employees. Attorneys
for the union were able to introduce evidence which showed that
more than $14 million had been
spent by the State during 19741975 for contracting fees.
A series of court battles between the State and CSEA saw
the union's request to restrain
the State from laying off employees pending the determination by an arbitrator upheld in
each case. Currently, two more
hearings before arbitrator Maurice C. Benewitz are scheduled
for late this month.
Should Commissioner Schuler
and DOT continue to refuse to
reinstate the emplo3anent of the
affected DOT employees. Dr.
Wenzl warned he would instruct CSEA attorneys " t o take
further action against you and
the Department in the nature
of contempt proceedings."
Maurice C. Benewits, arbitrator
in the dispute between the Civil
Service Employees Assn. and the
State Department of Transportation involving 369 DOT employees who received layoff notices in June, listens as CSEA
officials present their case at a
hearing held last week.
Thruway Challenger Quits
(Continued from Pace 1)
were in some cases drawing a t tention to the identity of those
people. Finally, PERB decided
that if this wias irvdeed happening, the end was Justified.
SEIU's objection was ovarruled
and PERB continued its Investigation of the cards.
On July 28, however, PERB
annoimced SEJIU had withdrawn
its challenge. Some CSEA officials and CSEA members concluded that a sufficient number
of the SEIU designation cards
were inauthentic, thus causing
PERB to ask SEIU to forego the
challenge.
Three years 'ago in Babylon.
a public PERB decision ruled
t h a t SEIU had forged designation cards.
SEIU is the spearhead of the
"coalition of unions" called
PEF and which are now trying
to get cards signed by state
workers to challenge CSEA in
the four state negotiation units.

administration and county treasurer David Bruen can Justify increiaeing the county highway
superintendent's salary by $5,000,
and if they can Justify giving
the clerk of the Board of Supervisors a $7,000 ralae, why ax«
they reneging on their own offer
of $950 to county employeea?"
Mr. Cheney concluded, "It
seems that the Percacciolo administration Is •conomislng only
Board
on the salaries of the workers
who are providing the essential
services to the taxpayers. Nothing else seems to be too rich for
their blood. We only hope that
the board will execute the lagreement so that we may avoid a
situation similar to t h a t of
IXitcheas County."
Dutchess County employees recently conducted a strike, the
first by county employees in New
York 8tet« hUtory.
In a letter recapping the meeting to the Labor Department's
administrative director, William
L. OToole, CSEA staff negotiator Paul Burch described the union's position as "completely and
unalterably opposed to the proposition that you made to us regarding the layoff of clerical
people in the UID. Your proposition of maintaining provisional
employees—many of whom are
political appointees—while contemplating the laying off of permanent. competitive class employees is illegal and incomprehensible to our committee. T h a t
attitude should certainly be repugnant, to say the least, to any
civil servant who has depended
upon the great State of New
York for fairness and equity."
Members of the CSEA committee referred to the management
policy pronouncement as "callous and short-sighted." They
speculated that the already low
morale in both the MS and UI
divisions resulting from the longstanding layoff threat would
probably
deteriorate
further.
One committee source said there
was a likelihood of work stoppages among affected employees
in the New York City area.
Commenting on political appointments within the department, a CSEA spokesman said
the practice had become more
prevalent with the advent of the
Carey administration, although
it had always been part of agency policy under the regime of
Industrial Commissioner Louis
Levine. The latter, according to
the spokesman, had most frequently awarded the provisional
slots to lower officials in the
ranks of APL-CIO affiliates, such
as shop stewards, w1h> found
themselves temporarily without
employment in the private sector.
The current CSEA Involvement
in fighting DOL layoffs da/tes
back to early June when approximately 600 employees in the
agency's Manpower Services Division were notified they would
be laid off July 1 because of a
cut in Federal funds which support the operation. CSEIA soon
thereafter prepared four separate
lawsuits in different parts of 'he
state to contest the layoffs on
the grounds they violated provisions of the Civil Service Law
governing layoffs.
Two days before CJSEA was to
go to court on the four cases, it
was successful, working with the
State Office of Employee Relations and the DOL, in discovering additional available funds to
provide for the rehiring of those
facing layoff at a comparable
or slightly lower grade In the UI
division for a two-moivth period.
With this reprieve, C8EA attorneys wUhdrew Its four lawsuits, holding them In abeyance
pending workiix out artancements to make permaoent the
retention of those threatened
with layoff.

Focus On Putnam
the successful conclusion of a contract settlement
WITH
for employees of Dutchess County, only one major
agreement remains to be reached in the Civil Service Employees Assn.'s Southern Region III, the seven-county area
that covers most of the Hudson Valley and Catskill areas.
Still remaining is the dispute in Putnam County.
The Public Employment Relations Board rendered a
decision recently that the County Board of Supervisors
should "execute an agreement in accordance with the terms
and conditions of employment accepted by its negotiators."
The terms had been reached last February after nego•^iations resulted in an agreement between CSEA's Putnam
chapter and the County Administration. Tt covered contract
conditions retroactive to Jan. 1 of this year.
Although the Chairman of the PuLnata Board of Supervisors had publicly stated t h a t actioft would be taken following a PERB decision, the Board has yet to move.
We would hope t h a t the recent strike action taken bj^
Dutchess employees would be warning enough to neighboring P u t n a m t h a t b a c k - o f - t h e - h a n d t r e a t m e n t ot public
employees can rebound.
Pensions & Pay Cuts
HE EFFECT on pensions of proposed pay cuts is someT
thing that should shake retirement-age employees to the
core.
New York City employees eligible for pensions under
the Career Plan could be forced to retire at lower pensions
if the proposed cutbacks are implemented.
This would probably be the greatest blow of all to those
civil servants who have persevered through good and bad
times with the City, only to find that rainbow at the end
is a mere painted panorama.
We certainly hope that wiser heads will start preparing
legislation now to protect pensions that are based on an
employee's salary during the final years before retirement.
A reduced salary would reflect directly in the figuring
of pensions, and leave many potential retirees hanging on
to jobs because they are not prepared to live on the smaller
pensions.
The time to act on this is now, so that everyone can
have a fair chance to make intelligent decisions that affect
one of the most traumatic experiences of anyone's life —
retirement.

pending before it dealing with
this subject.
In a general way. these bills
grant Ute right to ^ill state and
municipalities to organize and
bargain collectively through representatives of their own choosing. The bUls would also generally authorise the National Labor
Relations Board to took! representation elections among such
employees and to handle cases
of unfair tabor practices. Just
the way the Board operates with
respect to labor matters in t^e
private sector.
Arguments Against
Those who are opposed to any
sudti grant of eights within Congress are already orgvnising to
defeat any such proposal that
may come out of the Subcommittee deliberations. In part some
of Uieir arguments deal with the
present fiscal crisis In New York
City, whi(^ many of them
ascribe to the power of the
unions, as if the recessicm. Inflation, and sharp increases in
the prices of energy have had
nothing to do with the City's
crisis. They also cite recent public employee strikes in San Francisco, Baltimore and Pennsylvania as the neces&ary result of
permitting organizations for collective bargaining in the public
sector.
•
According to some of the statistics cited. Michigan passed
legisMlon authorizing collective
bargaining in 1965. In the seven
years before enactment of that
law, there had been only one
strike in Michigan: within three
years after enactment, there
were 103 public employee strikes.
Cu^ou.^ly enough these opposi,tion Congressmen also cite Theodore Kheel, a leading labor arbitrator, with a statement he
made in which he said that "collective bargaining and strikes are
like Siamese twins." Of course,
the Kheel statement is taken out
of context. Kheel's position is
that effective collective bargaining cannot effectively take place
where the ultimate employee
weapon of the right to strike is
denied to the employees. In the
Kheel view, public employees
should have the right to strike
except for those in such critical
areas as police and fire protection.
Some of these Congressmen
also cite the experience of North
Carolina, which not only prohibita public employee strikes
but also prohibits public o n ployee
collective
bargaining.
There have, apparently, been no
public employee strikes in that
state.
Federal Involvement
These Congressmen also question whether there is an area in
which the federal government
shoukl become Involved in any
case. Thus, some Congressmen
who <aire opposed to naUonal legislation on the subject assert
that they have no objection to
collective bargaining laws that
may be enacted by the individual
states covering the public employees of that state and its
municipaUties.
Despite the statistics on the
number of strikes, caost public
employee untons are not strikehappy. The major part of the
problem revolfvlng iuxnuid the
issue of public employee strikes
is the failure of the public emptoyer to bargain honestly and
realistically. In effect this means
that In too many cases such

Involuntary
Resignation
The Appellate Division, Second Department, has handed
down Its decision in a case involving a purported resignation
by an employee of the City of Yonkers. The City had deemed
that the employee resigned because he allegedly was absent
without leave for a period in excess of 10 consecutive work
days without explanation. The employee took his case to
the Westchester Supreme Court through a proceeding under
Article 78, CPLR, and that court determined that a trial was
necessary in order to determine "whether the petitioner was
ill during the time period in question."
•
»
•
THE UNDISPUTED FACTS of the case disclose that
the petitioner's resignation was accepted effective Sept. 17,
1973 on the ground that he had as of Sept. 17, 1973 been
absent without leave for a period In excess of 10 consecutive
work days without explanation. The Civil Service Commission Rules of the City of Yonkers stated that %uch a period
of absence constituted a resignation. The facts also disclose,
however, that the petitioner had notified his department on
Aug. 27, Sept. 4, 10, 17, and 21, 1973 that he was unable to
work on those dates due to Illness. The court pointed out that
such telephonic communication would be sufficient to constitute an explanation within the meaning of the rule. Those
notifications appear conclusively from the record, and it
follows that the Supreme Court In Special Term should have
determined petitioner's termination to have been unlawful
and should therefore have ordered his reinstatement with
back pay pursuant to Section
•
• 77 «of the Civil Service Law.
THE COURT HELD that it was neither necessary nor
proper for Special Term to attempt to inquire into the question of whether or not the petitioner was actually ill. It was
sufficient as an explanation if the petitioner actually called
and said he was Ul. The case was therefore remanded to
Special Term to fix the amount of compensation to which
petitioner would be entitled had he not been tllsmlssed or
had his resignation not been accepted at that time. The
standard to be used is, when the petitioner was ready, willing and able to return to work, since there was some question
as to the amount of sick leave that he had to his credit
at that time. Home v. Soher, 367 N.Y.S. 2d 318.

IN ANOTHER DECISION by the AppeUate Division.
Second Department, the court iM^ed o n a related <iue8tion
involving a review of a determination by the Commissioner
of the Department of Correction of Westchester County to
the effect that the petitioner's failure to report for work
for five consecutive days constituted a resignation from his
pogition. The Supreme Court, Special Term In Westchester
County annulled the Commissioner's determination and
directed that petitioner be reinstated with back pay. The
court declared that Rule 15.4 of the Rules of the Westchester

I Civil Service Law & You
(Continued from Pace 6)
County Civil Service CommLssion was invalid as being in
conflict with Section 75 of the Civil Service Law.
THE • COMMISSIONER APPEALED, and on his appeal
admitted that the petitioner notified the department of the
fact that he was injured. Special Term found that a letter
•directing the petitioner to return to work was not delivered
to him, and therefore the petitioner's subsequent absence
was not "without consent" within the meaning of Rule 15.4,
That rule provided: "Any employee who absents himself
from duty for three consecutive days without consent, shall
be deemed to have resigned in bad standing as of the beginning of such unauthorized absence, unless an explanation
acceptable to the appointing officer is submitted by such
employee within a reasonable time thereafter. Such unauthorized absence may also be made grounds for disciplinary
action."
*
*
*
THE APPELLATE DIVISION pointed out that in this
case it did not reach the issue of whether the rule was in
conflict with Section 75 of the Civil Service Law or whether
it failed to satisfy the requirements of due process. It merely
held that the absence of the petitioner was not without
consent. Therefore, he could not be deemed to have resigned.
In the Matter of DeMuro v. Gray, 367 N.Y.S, 2d 547.
Save on this magnificent
(Continued from P a f e 6)
strikes a r e precipitated by t h e
inability of t h e public employer,
or his refusal, to bargain collectively.
T h e likely outcome of any
such debate in Congress is n o t
predictable. All t h a t can be certain is t h a t the debate will be
heated.
Letters To The Editor
Trimming Fat
Editw, The Leader:
Before you s t a r t talking pay
cuts a n d pay freezes, how about
trimming the f a t in t h e Fire Department.
T h e Division of Training is a
good exsimple. T h e r e are no
firemen being appointed a n d no
officers being promoted so who
is there to t r a i n ? T h e few companies t h a t are called for evaluation are overtrained now from
overwork. Surely this is something t h a t could be done away
with until t h e crisis is over. I t is
nothing but a s t a t u s symbol for
the rest of the country. The
full-duty men could be t r a n s ferred to units where they are
sorely n:ed3d and the light duty
men to fire prevention duty.
Have the fire prevention unit
take over all building inspection
for the duration. It will conserve
fuel and wear a n d tear on the
fire engines. Also It would help
clean up the air.
P u t back t h e job of Chief of
Department. When t h a t job was
done away with it saved the City
about $50,000 a year No m e n tion was made of t h e f a c t t h a t
t h e job of Borough Commander
was created to m a i n t a i n control
by the Commissioner, a n d an assistant Chief was p u t in charge
of each borough. Salary: about
$40,000 each.
Each Assistant Chief has a
Deputy Assistant Chief as an
aide. His salary is almost t h e
same as the one he is helping.
A s t a f f , adequate quarters provided In each borough a n d a car
and driver for each chief involved. Cost: tremendous.
I am sure there will be a glib
explanation and statistics to
back up the above, but there is
one thing they c a n n o t
get
around, a n d t h a t is the cost of
all this a t the present time, when
they are doing away with fire
companies and firing men.

Credit
Editor, The Leader:
I n one of your articles you
stated t h a t state workers receive two years' credit for military service a n d five years if disabled.
I regret to inform you t h a t in
an inquiry a few m o n t h s ago to
the Retirement System (I have
14 years' military service) I found
you can only get credit for military service if you worked for
the State of New York before
entering the service.

employee a 10 percent salary tncrease retroactive to July 1.
The settlement was reached

parties together, following the
first impasse the BOCES imit

the package was a sound one.
In addition to the pay Increaee,
he said it Included a revised maternity clause, recognition clause

Flaumenbaum Cites
Taylor Law Inequity
In Police Contract
MINEOLA—Nassau County
Civil Service Employees Assn.
officials expressed shock last
week as a "Taylor Law settlement" for the police departmenit came In at 8.5 percent plus
liberal fringe benaflts.
Earlier, an Imposed settlement
under the Taylor Law for CSEA
came in with 6 percent for most
employees; 6.5 percent for those
on top step, and 3 percent for
those earning more than $25,000.
The difference was thia<t the
Tayk>r Law allowed the county
Board of Supervisors to write a
unilateral contract for the CSEA
employees but required the county to submit to the dictates of
binding* arbitration for the
policemen.
"This Is a bad example of the
Taylor Law." Nassau chapter
president Irving Plaumenbuum
declared. "And I blame it on
Gov. Hugh Carey and Lt. Qov.
&Cary Anne Krupsak, who promised us changes In the law and
then merely used it to bludgeon
the emptoyees he misled during
his election campaign."
Mr. Flaumenbaum called for
political action to ensure action
to overhaul the Taylor Law "in
order to uasure equitable treatment for all public employaea."

Reviewing the situation are Dntcheas chmHer president Ellis Adams,

is highest ranking county leader In seven-oounty area that Includes
Dutchess.
Ratify Dutchess Pact
(Continued from Page 2)
especially benefits those workers
in the lower grades who were
most desperate in their needs
to fight inflation. The percentage increase for the second and
third years of the contract would,
he noted, restore the wage difference between the grades.
Mr. Veit carefully outlined the
percentage differences that the
$990 would make for all the
grades in the first year. This
would amount to a range of 11
to 14 percent for employees in
Grade 1 and slide to 3 to 4 percent for employees in Grade 21.
For all permanent employees.
Mr. Velt explained, the package
on a weighted basis will amount
to approximately 9 percent, and
with part-timers included the
average will be close to 11 percent for each person.
Dutchess chapter president Ellis Adams explained that money
for members' emergency k)ans
was made available through the
cooperation of the union's state
organization, and must be paid
back within one monibh. He
noted, however, that he would
seek an extension from the
CSEA Board of Directors wtten it
meets later this month.
Mr. Ellis renewed the iwpeal
to other chapters and Individuals
to contribute to the Dutehess
County WdUare Fund In order
to provide aid for employees who
were hard-hit by the wedc-long
strike. Contributions should be
sent to: Dutchess Welfare Fund/
CSEA Southern Region in. Old
Albany Post Road/FishUU. N. Y.
12524.
It was also explained to the
members that the agreement
provided that no administrative
action would be taken agaliist
strikers. This means that then
will be no denials of promotions
or derogatory evaluations placed
in personnel files of strikers. Eknpk>yees have ia> right to review
their personnel flies to make sure
this agreement has not been violated, it was noted.
OBEA collective bargaining
specialist Emanuele Vitale pointed out. however, that it is possible for Taylor Law penalties
to be imposed. These are primarily probation for one year,
and two days' loss of pay for
each day of strttcing.
"It still figures out that everyone will be ahead financially,
even if they are penalised under
the two-for-one rule." he said.
Mr. Vitale noted that within
the next two weeks, some employees will recekve memorandums that they are being put
under notice of determination.
After leoaipt of this notice, the
empk>yee has 20 days in which
to file a statement explaiaiing
his or her reason for absence on
the strike days. If this statement
is not filed within 20 days of
receipt of the notice of determination. it means that the determination has been accepted.
On the other hand, those employees who file a statement are
entitled to a hearing. Consequently. employees—if they receive a notice and want to challenge the determination—dx>uld
contact CSEA's regloncU office in
Flshkill immediately for assistance in preparing an affidavit.
The telephone number is (area
code 914) 896-8180.
Mr. Vitale further noted that
the Taylor Law penalities must
be imposed between 30 and 90
days, so it is possible that an
en^iloyee may be penaUzed prior
to an official hearing. If Judgment is made in favor of the
employee, he or she would receive
back compensation.
CSEA vlce-preddent James
Lennon. head of the union's
Southern Region m which includes Dutchess County, praised
the employees for their determined efforts and dl^vlay of
unity. "You've impressed a lot
of people throughout the state."
he said.
An estimated 70 percent of the
Dutchess work force had Joined
in the Job action through picketing and attendacKe at mius
meetings.
The strike began July 18 and
extended through July 24, when
it was called off pending ratification of the tentative agreement.
The confrontation came about
after 4/he County Board of Representatives had rejected the
agreement hammered out over
a period of months by OSOEIA
negotiators and the County Administration headed by County
Executive WiUlam H. Bartles.
After the contract was ratified
by both sides last weelc. Mr.
Lennon lauded Mr. Bartles for
"sticking by his guns," and
thanked the County Representatives who had supported the union cause.
He ateo singled out Judge
Sweeney as "a trenaendous man"
for the skill and sense of fair
play with which he worked out
an acceptable agreement in the
dilute.
Mr. Lennon made special mentlon of the extraordinary work
performed by several CSEA staff
people in bringing about a successful oonoluston to the dispute. He praised regional supervisor Thomas Luposello, ooUdcttve bargaining spsciattsts Lee
Frank and Emanuele Vitate and
regional field representativs John
Deyo. as well as regional attorney
Thomas llahsr.

ALBANY—Under a measure signed into law recently
by Gov. Hugh L. Carey, persons over 62 years of age will
be exempted from cash deposits
for gas and electric service.
Assemblyman Joseph Ferris
(D-Brooklyn), who co-sponsored
the bill in the Assembly, said
that the legislation, prohibits
utility companies from requiring
the elderly to pay cash deposits
unless those companies can provide proof that the subscriber is
a bad credit risk.
"Inflation has cut deeply into
the spending power of elderly
people living on fixed incomes,"
Assemblyman Ferris said. "And
many of them find it increasingly difficult to feed and clothe
themselves properly."

NEWARK, N.J.—At hearings of the United States Senate

Herbert Bienstock, U.S. Department of Labor's assistant regional director for the bureau of labor statistics advised

Of Medical Exams And Returns To Duty
On Sunday morning, July
20, at 10 a.m., ERS Brooklyn
Box 253 was received. Engine
Co. 216 under command of
Capt. Michael Poraio responded
alone because of no voice contact
by the Brooklyn Dispatcher. At
Oraham Ave. and Borum St.,
they found an
u n 0 c c u pied
building almost
fully Involved
and called for a
second alarm.
The fire eventually went to
three
alarms
and took the

fore being brought under control.
One high-ranking chief was
very upset about a couple of
things. Eighteen firefighters w^re
taken to Greenpoint Hospital,
and those at the scene quote him
as not being so much concerned
for the welfare of the injured
men as he was about the fact
that he would now have to answer to higher authority for the
fact that they had gone sick
at aU!
At one point after the fire
was knocked down, the television
crews showed up and Judy Licht
of Channel 5 insisted upon interviewing Captain Porzio who,
as first arriving officer, was in
full possession of the facts and
the logical person to talk to.
Captain Porzio, like most of
his brother officers and firefighters, is angry about the arbitrary
reduction in manpower: reduction of five to four man teams
with the same results expected
and with no injuries or sick reports. In the interview, the
captain spoke of the shortage of
manpower and ref^red to the
novel "Beau Geste," in which
the bodies of deswi soldiers were
placed on the ramparts of the
French fort to fool the Arabs
into thinking that there were
maniy men to defend It instead of
the very few who remained alive.
His basic thougiht in the matter was that the French could
fool the Arabs in battle, but you

cannot dazzle a fire with a lot
of undermanned apparatus. At
that point the mike was taken
out of his hand. He was silenced
by the chief in command, and
was threatened with charges if
he said another word. So much
for the First Amendment to the
Constitution.
Ask me about that someday.
Cap, and I'll tell you about what
happened to me about a year
ago. You won't believe it!
The rest of our sordid little
tale takes place in Oreenpoint
Hospital, a City institution to
which the 18 injured firefighters
were taken.
It seems the staff doctar.j at
Greenpoint examined the 18 and
declared them unfit for duty
and ordered them placed on the
sick list.
One nurse, wheeling an injured firefighter out of the x-ray
room was heard to tell an aide
to—"get this fireman out of sight
. . . Put him someplace before
the medical officer sends htm
back to the fire."
Before she had the words out
of her mouth, the medical officer arrived and began his routine with a pointed finger . . .

Omit Manager Role
In a photograph published in
the July 22 issue of The Leader
of the Manhattan Psychiatric
Center's basketbaHl team ^;>onsored by the Civil Service Employees Assn., it was not noted
that Richard Rigo organized the

area psychiatric centers. Mr.
Rigo serves as rehabilitation
services supervisor of recreation
at Manhattan PC.
ad nauseam, until the staff doctor yelled "WATT A MINUTE!"
Said he: "None of these men
are fit for duty. I have certified
to that. In fact I am admitting
one of them right now."
In one case where the medical officer had given the guy
R&R, the staff man pointed out
that the x-ray showed that he
had obvious spots on Uie lungs
as a result of the fire. The FT)
man is reported to have told the
staff doctor that happens all the
time with firemen, means noth-
Ing and attention is never given
to such things in the Pire Department. The staff man then
protested to such shoddy business, to which the PD man simply told him he was thereby
overruled and to forget about it.
Enraged, the staff doctor lo<riced our man in the eye and was
heard, in effect, to say: In medical school, we were taught all
about your kind and I had trouble believing what I heard. I
hoped I would never run into
such a person, but I am sorry to
say that now, I have.
This sort of thing is the most
disgraceful thing that happened
in PDNY for many a moon. The

if a firefighter is given two hours
rest by a FD doctor at a fire
and does not return to duty after
that two-hour period, charges
shall be given! Yet this is the
department policy as set down
by direct order of the commissioner and the chief of staff.
Pretty soon they will find out
about the folly of their action
with suits up to their necks. It
will serve them all right.
Meanwhile, a certain truck
company in Brooklyn whose
members did just that (went sick
again after the two-hour period
was over), upon arriving at the
medical office next day were,
after examination, all placed on
sick leave. This would perhaps
indicate that somebody is starting to wise up on the subject of
the disgraceful medical harassment that is being inflicted upon the firefighter.
I would also take this opportunity to tip off a certain
doctor that there is a certain
significant group of medically
abused firefighters who have
taken practically an oath not to
stop until they have him before
his County Medical Society.
He and the other guilty practitioners of "operation slipshod"
have been warned by the UPO to
get smart on many an occasion,
but the warning until now has
fallen on deaf ears. This means
they will have nobody but themselves to blame when the excreta
hits the revolving blades of the
air-cooling device. Meanwhile,
unfortunately, the good, dedi-
