had been held on Sept. 29 for
delegates in the Administrative,
the Operational, the Institutional
and the Professional-ScientificTechnical Units.
Mr. Mogavero then called a
caucus of County Division delegates,
representing
counties,
towns, school districts and other
local government entities.
As the County Division delegiates filed out of the meeting
hall, State Division delegates inquired whether tliere still remained a quorum to conduct official business. They were reas-sured that their actions would
be official.
Compromise was reached when
it was agreed that separate State
Division and County Division
meetings would be scheduled for
the next morning, Oct. 2, so
further time could be devoted
to divisional matters before they
recombined. The full delegiates

meeting here last week at the
Convention Center.
The pi"oposal would amend article oiie of the state Constitution.
Added would be a new section,
Section 13. to i^ead: "Equality of
rights under the law shall not be
denied or abridged by the state
of New York or any subdivision
thereof on account of sex."
Anne Rehak, of CSEA's Nassau County chapter, explained
that five more states are needed
to add the Equal Rights Amendment to the federal Constitution,
"but even if it doesn't go ihrough
for the federal amendment, at
least we wUl have it in the state
Constitution."
The motion to endoa^ <the

In the Legislature, tlie Amendment has been read once and

promised to pass along minor
bejieflts, such as longevity payments, won by city policemen
and firefighter^ in subsequent
agreements.

introduced by Labor representative A. Victor Costa, "That the
provision set forth by this deleg'ate body two years ago be immediately Implemented at the
state level, at the regional level
and by the chapter presidents in
naming job action comrndttees."
Looking even further ahead,
the delegates also approved a
motion originally made by Tax
and Finance representative E.
Jack Dougherty "That the political action - legislative committee work in the area of support or non-support for legislators based on their records at
the last session."
Acting on an original motion
by Western Region VI president
Robert Lattimer, delegates voted
"That the New York State Department of Labor and the Governor of the State of New York
be contacted and encouraged to
resubmit to the U. S. Department
of Labor the New York Plan for
the enforcement of Occupational
Safety and Health Standards
(OSHA) in the State of New
York."
All the above motions were
presented to the delegate body
by State Executive Committee
chairman McDonough.
Mr. McDonough later declared
that he considered the delegiates'
action in setting the negotiations
timetable as one of tJie significant decisions made at the
meeting. "Delegates have finally
made a definite stand on what
to do if there is no contract by
April I," he said. The current
pact runs thi-ough March 31,
1976.
CSEA unit president Richard
J. Grleco said this lassurance
from City Manager Forbes was
the reason his membership voted
to accept an early contract settlement.
CSEA wrote the City Manager
Aug. 12 demanding a "prompt
and Just solution" on the longevity payments to general workers
represented by the xmit. A
month later, the dispute was
discussed but the longevity benefit virtas not given, allegedly on
a plea by the city that there is
no money in the budget to meet
the demand.
Mr. Grieco argues that the
city's continuing refusal to grant
the longevity payments constitutes a breach of promise and,
as such, an lmprop)er labor practice.
Firefighter and policeman associations held out beyond expiration of their 1974-75 contnacts before finally accepting a
contract which included longevity benefits of $177, $234 and
$351 after six, 12 and 18 years
of service, respectively.

WHAT
Administration seems intent on following a position of
hands-off as New York City stumbles on toward bankruptcy.
The much repeated domino theory concerning Viet Nam
and Southeast Asia certainly has application here and now.
The City's risky credit rating is starting to have its
effects throughout the northeastern part of the nation as
well as in New York State and its municipalities.
Last week the City of Buffalo, the state's second largest,
was unable to market a $24 million offering of short-term
notes to meet expenses after Oct. 15. In what had normally
been a routine practice of bids being phoned in a few minutes before deadline, Buffalo received one bid for $6 million
—following a one-and-a-half-hour discussion that included
the City's Mayor.
At the state level, a package of $750 million in state
notes went begging. Even when $100 million of that package
was unloaded for resale at drastically reduced prices, there
were few takers.
Neighboring Connecticut, too, is starting to feel the
result of the crisis as its bonds are reduced in price despite
the fact that they carry the highest credit rating.
As the dominos tilt, the Administration in Washington
seems to be concentrating more on its game of Russian
Roulette by providing targets for women who are intent on
entering the history books as the first female Presidential
assassin.

If the President would like to try something risky, we
would plead that he store his skis and redon his football
helmet and meet the fiscal crisis head-on.
New York City Hall Is only a few blocks from Wall Street.
It doesn't take much Imagination to see the connection between those references, yet the Administration seems content to wait for the disaster to hit bottom, so that we can
look forward to looking up.

A
faced by New York City as the fiscal crunch approaches
the earthquake stage, we still believe that the use of pension
funds to shore up the City's finances would have been an
even greater disaster, potentially.
For that reason we heartily applaud the success of the
Civil Service Employees Assn. and the Police Conference of
New York In their successful arguing of the case before a
special session of the State Court of Appeals.
The state's highest court ruled that recent legislation
mandating Investment of the pension funds in MAC bonds
was unconstitutional. The court said the Legislature could
not require the Comptroller (Arthur Levitt) to "mindlessly

In arguing the case for CSEA, attorney James Roemer

been developing with increasing frequency lately.

IN ITS DECISION to vacate the lower court's decision

Court pointed out that In the area of arbitration there Is a

root Issue as to whether or not the question Is one that
is subject to arbitration. The court said, "So long as there
IS some question, whether the question be substantive or
procedural, It Is for the arbitrators to decide whether the

law litigation." The court pointed out that Its function on

tract did not exclude from arbitration the disapproval of
sabbaticals due to financial considerations. The court ended
by stating: "Clearly, there is a distinction between the
refusal on the part of the board to grant any sabbatical
leaves because of financial matters, and the discretion
vested in the selection committee in determining whether
particular leave programs are educationally sound. The latter is not arbitrable in that the contract specifically removes such determination from the real of the grievance
procedure. The board's determination, on the other hand,
which results in a default of its contractual obligation to
grant sabbatical leaves to qualified applicants, may not be
removed from the arbitration procedure under the guise
of absolute discretion. To do so would be to vest the board
with untrammeled authority to choose which clauses of
the contract it will obey. This was not the intent of the
parties; nor does the agreement lend itself to that interpretation. Thus, we hold that an arbitrable dispute does exist."

The special work performance ratings
and examinations committee oif the
Civil Service Employees Assn. is chaired
by Samuel Orossfield, of Rochester, with
committee members Harriet Casey, A1
Castaldi, William Gagnon, Carl Garrand,
lVT<arJorie Reeves and Don Galleroni.
Since our last report to the Delegates in October of 1974, this Committee met with the Director of Personnel Services and Development,
James A. Dermody. and twice with John
M. Keefe and Irving Handler, Assistant
Administrative Director and Assistent
Director for Staffing Services, respec-
tively, of the State Department of Civil
Service. Due to circumstances beyond
our control, no meetings were scheduled
after February of 1975.
Members of your Committee, and particularly the Chairman, have had quite
a bit of correspondence and phone calls
from CSEA members as well as the Department of Civil Service. We Wave tried
to answer all of them, some tardily, due
to our lack of clerical assistance. More
importantly, we have tried, to the best
of our ability, to do something for them,,
not always successfully.
It is noteworthy that we were success-
ful in overturning two "unsatisfactory
ratings" where the raters tied in the
rating to disciplinary charges.
In our 1974 report we submitted statistics on "unsatisfactory ratings'* for
the years 1969-1973. To briefly summarize those statistics, the total number of
employees rose from approximately 100,COO ta approximately 122,000 during the
period, while the number of "unsatisfactory ratings" increased from 137 to 430.
That was a three-fold increase in the
number of "unsatisfactory rtatings" during the four year period referred to
above.
During 1974, the total number of ra-

tings remained constant at approximately
122,000, while the number of "unsatisfactory ratings" again significantly increased
to 579—a 40 percent increiase of the
previous year.
The number of employee appeals from
"unsatisfactory ratings" increased from
27 in 1969 to 83 in 1974, which tells us
that only 25 percent of those receiving
an "unsatisfactory rating" appeal it.
What is even worse is the low number
of victories on appeals, only eight in 1974.
Certainly it does not help our cause to
see how vague ure the criteria for a
"satisfactory" or an "unsatisfactory
rating." We must press for more specific
guidelines and for representation on
Rating Appeals Boards.
A potential problem area is the new
regulation that all intra-departmental
promotions now require the successful
completion of a probationary period
without the right to appeal an "unsatisfactory rating." CSEA lost the Court
battle but this Commitee will continue
its efforts to get the Department of Civil
Service to allow the right of appeal.
We have been successful in reducing
the number of continuous reci-uitment
examinations. To refresh your memory,
the danger in this type of examination
lies in the interfiling of later successful c-andidates, which could result in the
by-passing of the earlier successful candidates.
The largest number of complaints we
have received is against oral examinations. We shall pursue this problem as
vigorously as possible. The same holds
true for the post-rating review of written examinations so the candidates can
have access to the questions as well as
to their own answers.
We ai-e requesting that more time be
allowed for the spelling portion of examinations held for the positions of Clerk,
Typist and Stenographer. Only ten
minutes is allowed for 90 difficult words
and we wonder how many nianagerial
employees could pass such a spelling test
in the short time allocated.
Non-Teaching School Employees Committee
The statewide non-teaching school employees committee of the Civil Service
Employees Assn. is chaired by Edward
Perrott, Nassau County, with committee
members Salvatore Mogavero, Erie; Vincent DiBrienza, Suffolk; David Siiberman, Nassau; Neil Gruppo, Niagara;
Jacob Banek, Oneida; Charles Luch,
Saratoga; Hugh Crapser, Dutchess; Howard Cropsey, Alliany; Les Banks, Rensselaer. and Irene Izw, Westchester.
Beginning last January, the Statewide Non-Teaching School Employees Committee became a mobile
committee in that it began traveling to different parts of the State to
meet with non-teaching employees. The
purpose of convening the meetings in different parts of the State was threefold.
Pii-st, it provided a means for members
of the Statewide Non-Teaching School
Employees Committee to meet, in person,
with non-teaching employees isci all pm"ts
of the State and discuss the programs
of the committee. Secondly, it provided a
forum for employees who wished to express themselves on matters affecting
their tenns and conditions of employment including their relationships with
employers. Finally, it provided a means
for the committee to study and compai-e
the problems of each region for the
purpose of ascei-taining whether there
wei^ problems that were similar to all
regions containing non-teaching employees. The committee feels that the
di'i-eot contact it has had with employees
has helped its members gain greater inslg'liit as to the piesent and futuane needs
of non-teaching employees. Prom the insight gained, the committee hopes that
it wiU be able to develop progi-ams which
will aid non-teaching employees with
matters of concern to them.
As the 65th Annual Convention begins, the committee has completed visitations to four of the ftve regions containing non-teaching employees. The
committee found that there were several
areas of concern to non-teaching employees that were similar. These areas
are as follows:
• pamphlet describing the services
provided by CSEA to non-teaching employees.
• legislative program for non-teaching employees.
• regional negotiations for school
disit riots.
• retirement programs.
• educational chapters and their
place within CSEA.
• protection for part-time and/or
per diem employees working for school
digit ricts.
• negotlaition and impasse procedur:s for non-teaching employees.
• information on federal assistance
programs.
• changes in Civil Service Law, Taylor Law and other laws as they affect
non-teaching employees.
• problems of contraoting services In
school districts.
Since these initial meetings, the committee has been doing everything in Its
power to comply with the requests of
non-teaching employees within those regions that it has visited. However, due
to the fact that an employee has not
been assigned or employed on a fulltime basis in the title of Coordinator of
Non-Teaching Affairs, the committee is
finding it difficult to handle all matters
which have come before it. Specifically,
the committee has had to establish priorities in an effort to continue to provide
as many services as possible to non-teaching personnel. It is the committee's hope
that the above circumstances will be rectified in the near future, and the position of Coordinator of Non-Teaching Affairs will be filled. With a full-time
coordinator, the committee would be able
to develop further programs and services
for non-teaching employees. The committee believes that the development of
new programs as well as the continuation
of present ones will strengthen CSEA's
leadership image in this vital growth
area and help it to gain membership.
Human Rights Committee Report
The human rights committee of the Civil
Service Employees Assn. is chaired by
Anson Wright, Executive Department, Albany, with committee members Floyd
Brogsdale, Jack Gerahty, Patricia Miller,
Manuel Ramirez, Ewa Reid and Reuben
Goring, staff coordinator.
The key to meaningful resolution
of the complex issues of our society
still lies in the effort of a committed
minority to win over the uncommitted majority. Whether the issue be
on the rights of labor, the rights to an
education, to a job, to government protection, to a decent home, to sexual
equality, in the final analysis the successful efforts of the minority ultimately
depends on winning a common commitment to mutually desired goals. It then
becomes clear that the real fight is the
fight for the rights of human beings to
aspire to human goals. The struggle in
a large sense is the overcoming of apathy
and the opening of minds to the common
goals of justice and social good. All must
fight so that all may win. The very
strength of CSEA lies in convincing the
public of its rights to better wages,
better working conditions and to the
achieving of all those goals that have
been sought by the working man and
woman for centuries.
The Statewide Human Rights Committee believes that in a small measure it
h-as taken the first steps in an effort to
reach mutual goals. It has through the
cooperation of Regional Presidents created regional sub-units of its Statewide
Committee in Regions I, III and VI and
believes that it will eventually succeed
in persuading the leaders of II, IV and
V to follow with the appointment of local
Human Rights Committees in their regions.
CSEA has also given support to the
New York State Chapter of the National
Association of Human Rights Workers by
taking membership in that organization.
The efforts of CSEA to create equal
rights for all was the subject of an inquiry by the New York State Careerists
Society, Inc. of New York City who came
to Albany for this purpose.
Finally it is the wish of the Human
Rights Committee as the patterns established by the restructuring efforts of the
past few years become clear and require
less attention, that the energies of many
oi its members will be devoted to the
common goals of justice for all.

Committer
The convention committee of the Civil
Service Employees Assn. is chaired by
Richard Tarmey, of Montgomery County,
with conunittee members Irene Carr,
Joyce Jewell, Edna Percoco, Edward Perrott, A1 Varacchi, IVIartin Koenig, NelUe
Davis, Mary Hart, Dorothy Hy, Jack
Daley, Frank Fasano, Felix Livingston
and Kenneth Cadieux.
Convention Committee has met on
three occasions since the last annual meeting in September-October,
1974. Arrangements had been made
to hold the spring meeting in Toronto,
Canada, but because of the many crises
facing the Association at that time, it
was felt that Convention in Toronto
would have to be cancelled and substituted therefore with the delegate's meetings which were held in Albany, New
York.
As we meet here in the International
Convention Center in Niagara Palls, New
York we are faced with the possibility of
not hiaving a Convention site for 1976. We
are asking the Constitution and By-Laws
Committee to request a change in the
By-Laws as it pertains to the dates for
the fall meeting for 1976.
The committee hopes to meet almost
immediately after this convention to determine a site for the spring and fall
meetings for 1976. Inasmuch as the
Board of Directors must approve the site
selection, we lare requesting some in-_put
from the delegates as to the type of location that they might wish.

CSEA president Theodore C. Wenzl raps
gavel to commence 65th annual meeting
of the 230,000-member union.
Of Whe President
These are hard times. Unforeseen
and unanticipated negative events
of tremendous magnitude have descended upon all aspects of humankind. The United States economy is undergoing severe dislocations amidst worldwide social, economic, political land
military upheavals. As a result, the economic foundations of the United States
have been most severely rocked by
rampant inflation, a prolonged economic
depression and widespread unemployment of unprecedented proportions. In
turn, with the increasingly severe erosion
of the tax-paying ability of the public
and its economic enterprises coupled with
the costs for carrying devtastating debt
loads, many governmental entities are on
the verge of bankruptcy—and. In certain
cases, some are already In fact bankrupt.
New York State does not escape the
effects of any of these conditions—nor
does private-and-publlc-sector unionism.
The elements that keep unions strong
and viiaible, namely, growth coupled with
increasing economic rewards and better
working conditions, are not presently in
the picture. Instead, there are widespread
layoffs, wage stagnation, cutbacks, retrenchments and even reductions In previously won benefits.
Specifically, such Is the challenge of
the times to CSEA. Can we adjust to
these circumstances and secure the very
best possible for our members? The
answer must be 'an unqualified "YES."
In the State sector, we have been
cheated! The first order of business here
is to right the wrong that has been done
to us by the Governor and the Legislature. The Oovemor did not keep his cam-
Social Services Committee Report
The statewide social services committee
of the Civil Service Employees Assn. is
chaired by Richard Tarmey, Montgomery
County, with committee members Geraldine McGraw, Cattaraugus; Stephen
Ragan, St. Lawrence; Patricia Spicci,
Rockland, E. Ben Porter, Suffolk; Grace
Vallee, Rensselaer; Alan Shanks, Erie;
Rose Pandozy, Clinton, and Haward
Quann, Nassau.
The Statewide Social Services
Committee has met on six different
occasions since January and has involved itself, among other things,
wlcih new job series plans, new sooiail
services legislation and the outcome of
the "examiner" series changes as effected by a recent Suffolk County court
challenge.
In JanU'ary, the oommlititee met with
John McKenna, Director of the Office
of Local Manpower Management in the
State Department of Social Services. A
discussion took place during this meeting
regarding the "Assistant Payment Specialist Series" which will replace the "Examiner Series" once the "Examiner Series" test can be given again. Mr. McKenna pledged his cooperation with this
committee and further agreed to keep
the committee aware of his developing
role in local social service agencies.
In F'ebruary, we made yet another contact with Noi7na Wedlake, Executive Director of the Temporary Commission to
Revise the Social Services Law of the
State of New York. We also contacted
the legislative committees concerned with
changes in the area Social Services Law
In an attempt to outline our position on
Bills 8-1840-1843 and A-2374-77. Submiittlng amending legislation, we urged
defeat of the proposed legislation In its
present form In addition to our effoa'ts
on the State level, comnilttee members,
through articles published in "The Leader" urged employees in the Department
of Social Services throughout the State
to contact their legislators on this matter.
In April, we met with Charles Kelly,
Assistant to the Director of the Office of
Local Manpower Management in oi-der to
discuss the role his office would pMy In
social services. During the course of this
meeting. Mr. Kelly outlined some of the
following areas of Involvement:
1. informalton gathering
2. reffciTal services
3. advisement on local personnel
policy, and
4. employee development
Acting In the advisory capacity outlined, It Is the feeling of this committee
that Mr. Kelly's office could very well
have a major impact on the outcome
of future negotiations on the local level.
In June, a committee presentation was
made at the County Workshop In Syracuse at which Norma Wedlake, guest
speaker, was asked to discuss pending
social service legislation. A lengithy question and answer period followed the discussion. Copies of relevant proposed legislation, Including amendments Introduced by this committee, were distributed
palgn promises, and the Legislature gave
first priority on wages to themselves at
the expense of the State worker. This
Convention here and now will set the
conditions, policy and guidelines for
righting these wrongs and moving ahead
to 'a new contract with decent and proper
terms which will adequately meet the
devastating effects of rampant Inflation
upon the State worker's salary. Layoffs
are not necessary and must be halted—
attrition and no new hires make this so.
State workers unquestionably are carrying an undue and unjust burden of fiscal
and work hardships for conditions for
which they are not responsible.
Only a unified effort using every resource and method available will bring
about an acceptable new contract for
our CSEA State employees. LET'S GO!
Also, in the State sector, we Pace an
Imminent challenge in our Professional,
Scientific and Technical Unit. This challenge for representation Is being made by
a hastily put together hodgepodge of
such groupings as N.Y.S.U.T., N.Y.S.
Building Trades Council, Laborers International Union, S.E.I.U., and the Teamsters, Local 237. They call themselves
PEF. We can and will destroy them.
CSEA's inherent 'ability to rise to effectively meet all challenges, once
again, will wipe out this phony group
from the scene. The P.S.&T. Unit members will get all the facts which will,
without a doubt, convince them, for their
own good, of the wisdom in staying with
CSEA. You here In convention, as leaders,
should spread the word to all your relatives, friends and co-workers in the
P.SxScT. Unit to vote CSEA.
to the approximaitely 95 people attending
the presentation. Wlhlls no action was
taken during the spring legislative session,
both Mrs. Wedlake and this commiittee
agree thait continuing efforts will be
made to enact legislation in the future,
bringing New York State Into compliance with the E>epartment of Health,
Educaitlon and Welfare Regulations. As
a result, it is the intention of this committe to continue to closely monitor all
efforts In this direction. It is our sincere
hope that all CSEA social service members will join with us In ouir concerns.
series of regional meetings is to be held
in Region I headquarters on Septemiber
12th. To further our hopes, we are recommending the establishment of "minicommittees" In each region which would
provide representation for each county
within the region. Each county repiresentatlve would be responsible for the dissemination of Information provided by
the Statewide Committee and for the
gathering of feedback on local problems
to be represented for action by the committee. With the assistance and approval
Df the regional presidents, regional committeis have already been formed in
Region I and Region m . We laud theiiquick action and strongly encourage the
remaining regions to follow suit.
In July, a meeting was held In order
to formulate plans that would allow us
to meet our long standing goal of meeting with local social service members on
a regional level. Our hopes include the
development of more responsive channels of communication with local departments of social services. The first in a
Future goals of this committee include
additional regional meetings, examination of local departments of social services with regard to compliance with Title
XVm, distribution of all relevant information to the regions and continued
monitoring of proposed changes In Social Services Law.

Special Memorial Plague Report
The special memorial plaque committee
of the Civil Service Employees Assn. is
chaired by Raymond Castle, with committee members William McGowan, Richard Cleary, Joseph McDermott, James
Lennon, Solomon Bendet and Irving
Flaumenbaum.
The John M. Harris Memorial
Plaque is to commemorate the
names of those who have rendered
outstanding service to the Association. It is recognized tWat throughout the
years thousands of members have rendered very valuable service and made
substantial sacrifices to advance good
government and employee welfare, and
all objectives names to be Inscribed on
the Memorial Plaque shall be limited to
deceased members of the Associiatlon,
who during their lifetime have rendered
outstanding benefits or services to their
chapter, their conferences and to the
State Association, and will usually have
resulted for efforts which were far "be-
yond the call of duty." There Is no time
limit on when the outstanding service
may have been rendered.
Serious responsibility rests upon the
Plaque Committee, the Board of Directors and the Delegates to assume that the
Memorial Plaque serves the fine purpose
for which It was created. Nominations
for Inclusion on the Plaque may be presented by any of the Association through
his chapter, aften an interval of at least
six months following death of the nominee. The chapter shall submit such recommendation to the Conference (Region)
and the Conference (Region) to the State
Association. Each nomination must be
submitted on a regular application form
for the purpose supplied by the Association upon request, on which shall be set
forth supporting data, giving detailed accomplishment of the deceased member.
All such nominations are then referred
to the Memorial Plaque Committee for
review of the facts reliating to the services
rendered.
Down through the years, succeeding
Memorial Plaque Committees have seriously considered all nominations, and so
it maintains the high standard and fine
recognition that the Plaque represents.
At this time, the Committee wishes to
approve the name of Abe Kranker for
inclusion on the Plaque. Mr. Kranker
g-ave unstinting service to CSEA throughcut his long, professional career. As a
I epresentatlve of the Law Department to
Ihe State Executive Commltttee he participated In major decisions affecting
CSEA, and contributed generously of his
time as longtime Chairman of the Legal
Committee. He served In a variety of
capacities, making It a very difficult decision for our organization in selecting a
replacement to fill his many competencies.
The Chairman would once again remind all concerned that the Committee
stands ready to receive lecommendation
ot names and distinguished past members
for the John M. Harris Memorial Plaque
from our Chapters throughout the State.

Should public employees
have the riffht to
strike?
THE PLACE
Interviews were made at the New York City Municipal Building and at Police Plaza.
OPINIONS
Ella Hicks, Matowan, N.J.. senior stenographer,
N.YJ3. Dept. of Labor: I think
they should have the right to
strike to gain the benefits
they're fighting for. But the
penalties are so severe—workers can lose their seniority and
after many years in one place,
that's something you just don't
want to throw away. There
should be some assurance that
strikers won't be penalized.
Albert Shanker is now facing
fines for the teachers' strike, and while I don't
think the children should have had to be out of
school so long, I agree that the teachers had the
right to better their working conditions.
Abraham L. Herman, Manhattan, retired Board
of Elections employee: Employees should not go out on
the street and stop the vifal
utilities but should Iceep talks
going and mediate, if necessary
to reach an honest solution.
Workers can exercise their
rights by sitting down and
talking things over. They
should not disrupt services and
cause the residents of a city
so much inconvenience that it's
absolutely ridiculous The teachers could have
stayed at the table until the talks were concluded but they walked out and tied things up—
I don't believe in it.
Roberto Ortez, Manhattan, maintenance tratoee:
"Workers s h o u l d definitely
Imve the right to strike. Public
employees are permitted to file
a grievance if they are unhappy about working conditions
or contracts. But when the
grievance procedure is not successful In getting better benefits, the only possible outlet for
improvement has been exhausted. Unions are forced into
striking — it's the only way to
accomplish anything, and there should not be
any penalties against them.
Steven Kain, Manhattan, park worker; Employees
should have the right to strike.
They shouldn't be blackmailed
into accepting a bad contract.
The administration ignores the
problems with contracts and
puts off discussion on it until
workers have no choice but to
strike. The people in charge
have to be made to listen to
the problems of workers and I
think a strike accomplishes
this. I think that strike penalties should be abolished because everyone should
have the right to walk out.
Howard Krulick, Bronx, printing trainee: "Employees should have the right
to strike. This may sound corny,
but in any country, especially
in America, a person should
hiave the right to do something
that would help himself and
everyone that lives and works
around him. It's a freedom —
much like the freedom of
speech — and a human being
should be permitted to exercise
that freedom without being
afraid of penalties that might be imposed on him.
A1 Adams, Bronx, maintenance: "There shouldn't
be any penalties for workers
who wiant to strike — they
should have the right to do so
without fear. The way things
are going today — people have
to protect what they have.
Money's short, prices are higher and the cost of living Is constantly going up. The Taylor
Law should be changed to allow employees to protect their
interests.

ALBANY—Thomas A. Gilmartin, coordinator of retiree
activities for the Civil Service Employees Assn., has
prepared a checklist for public
sector employees nearing retirement.
"As Ian employee nears retirement age. there are important
matters he or she should look into in order to be as informed
as possible before taking that
step," Mr. Gilmartin observed.
"This checklist merely points
the way. It Is hoped that CSEA
members will thoroughly search
for the more complete answers
they need from the agencies assigned to serve retirees and prospective retirees."
In question and answer form,
Mr. Gilmartln's checklist follows:
• As you face the prospect of
living on a reduced income, your
'first question is, "How much will
my retirement allowance be?"
This, of course, depends on
your number of years of credited
service, the amount of your final
average salary, and the type of
retirement option you select
from the five choices offered by
the Retirement System. As far
ahead as a year before retiring
it is a good idea to request the
Workers Honored;
1 1 1 Years' Service
SYRACUSE — Eight Civil
Service Employees Association members with a combined total of 111 years of
Department of Transportation
Service were honored recently at
a retirement party at the American Legion Post in North Syrtaicuse.
The retirees from the Onondaga Covmty-East Residency Department of Transf>ortation included Phil Ray, eight years;
Clyde Hall, nine years; Prank
Wagoner, 10 years; Clifford
Snow, 11 years; Harold Ward, 14
years; Leo Corsette, 15 years,
and Stanley Pickfaxd, 29 years.
During the evening, Mr. Pickard recalled that when he started, the hourly rate was 60 cents.
Also attending the event were
Richard Cleary, CSEA Region V
president and DOT employees
from North Syracuse, Butternut
Drive, VanRensselaer, and LaPayette.
Retirement System to prepare an
esttoiate of your retirement allowance. Within three months
they will send you the estimate,
showing how much you would
receive under each of the five
options.
• Which option should you select?
This is a personal decision
based on a number of considerations, such as your present
net worth, financial protection
of your surviving spouse, your
elligibility for Social Security and
your possible plans for entering
another area of employment.
Whatever your decision, it must
be carefully made since, after
'advising the Retirement System
of your chosen option, you cannot change it. Some options also
do not allow you to change your
beneficiary, once ciiosen.
In making your decision you
should take full advantage of
professional help such as that
offered by the Retirement System's advisors who are qualified
to explain to you the advantages
of eiach option. The Retirement
System has available for you a
booklet entitled "Your Options
at Retirement." You should also
obtain a copy of "The CSEA
Retirement Guide" which explains in clear language the options from wWch you must
choose, and includes a specimen
estimate of the type Issued by the
Retirement System.
• If you have a balance owed
on money you borrowed from
your own contributions, must
this be repaid ta the Retirement
System before you retire?
It need not be. The Retirement System will deduct this
bailance from the annuity portion
of your contributions thus lowering the amount of your retirement allowance but probably not
substantially. You might inquire
about this when you visit the
Retirement System before retiring. Purthermore, some employees liave found it advantageous
to withdraw their won contributions in favor of other investments.
• What alraut your accumulated vacation and sick leave
time?
You should look into receiving la. lump sum payment for unused vacation leave -at the time
of your retirement. In most
cases, unused sick leave up to
165 days may be applied as ser-

vice credit toward your retirement, thus increasing
the
amount of your retirement allowance.
• Should you contact your
local Social Security Office?
By all means if you are 65,
-as you -are eligible for full benefits and are required at that age
to integrate Medicare into your
State health insurance plan; if
you are 62 you are eligible for
reduced benefits if you wish to
draw social security income. If
you are retiring before you are
eligible for benefits, you should
nevertheless find out from Social
Security what effect your retiring might have on future benefits, if any. As you approach 65,
keep in mind that it may take
up to six months after you file
your application before you receive your first social security
check, so do not delay.
• Should you enroll in Medicare when eligible?
Yes, because if you do not do
so when you reach 65 (working
or retired) there will be a drastic
reduction in yoiu- health insurance coverage. Enroll in Medicare at your local Social Security
office three months before your
65th birthdiay, -and then inform
the Health Insurance Seotioin
(Civil Service Dept.) that you
have done so. The State will
reimburse you as a credit in
your pension check for the
amount that is deducted from
your Social Security check for
Medicare. Under the combined
State Plan and Medicare, you
.will get the same benefits you
now have.
• After you have retired from
public service and are drawing
a retirranent allowance, are there
restrictions on what you can
earn iif you take a new job or
become self-employed?
There are no limits to what
you may earn if you are not
drawing Social Security benefits. If you are, you can earn up
to $2,520 without loss of benefits. Over that amount you will
lose $1 of Social Security for
each $2 you earn. If you seek
to re-enter public service, please
reiad on to the next item.
• As a retired public employee, can you re-enter public service without having your retirement allowance diminished or
suspended?
Yes, provided the conditions of
Section 211 of the Retirement
and Social Security Law are fulfilled and the specified authorizations obtained. Employment by
the Federal Government or by
any other public employer outside of New York State does not
need prior approval, nor does
employment by a private orgianization.
• What Income tax will you
pay as a retired public employee
of New York State?
Once you have retired, your
pension will not be taxed by the
State but will become taxable by
the Federal Government. It is
strongly recommended that you
ask the Retirement System for
W-4P forms so that withholding
tax can be taken from your pension check. If you move your
residence to another state, it is
wise to inquire If that state will
tax your retirement income.
• If you are presently covered
by the State employees heulth
insurance program, will you be
covered when you retire?
Yes. there will be no break in
coverage for you and your eligible dependents. If you predecease them, they may continue
in the Group Plan by paying the
full cost of the coverage. If you
are enrolled in the Statewide
Plan with individual coverage, it
will cost you nothing. The Stlate
continues to pay for your coverage. If you are enrolled in the
Statewide Plan with dependents,
or under GHI or HIP, there may
be a cost for your retirement
coverage. You should inquire as
to the amount.
• If there is any cost, how
will your unused sick leave be
applied toward that cost?
When you retire, the dollar
value of your unused sick leave
is broken down into monthly
payments according to your life
expectancy land applied toward
payment of your health insurance premium. You will be informed as to the extent of such
reduction after you have retired. If you must pay, the cost
will be deducted from your retirement allowance, and you will
be informed of the reason.
• As for insurance you have
t»s a CSEA member, what arrangements should you make
when retiring?
Contact CSEA's
insuriance
unit, 33 Elk St.. Albany, N. Y.
12207, to advise you on wliat to
do regarding your group life insurance, the privilege of conversion, the opportunities offered in
a new life insurance plan designed for retirees, and other
insurance items of interest to
you. If you are concerned about
having
extra
c-ash-in-pocket
if you become hospitalized
and/or must go to a nursing
home, you should inquire about
the special hospitial cash indemnity plan available only to members of the CSEA Retiree Division.
* As a retiree, will you still
be able to carry CSEA-spon8<H-ed
car and homeowno-'s insurance
policies which you now pay by
payroll deduction?
Yes, by making arrangements
with Ter Bush & Powell, Inc.,
Schenectady, agent for Travelers
Insurtance Co. to continue your
same coverage on a "direct pay"
basis. Thereafter they will bill
you for future premiums owed.
* Are you eligible for a death
benefit for your beneficiary?
Not all retirees are, but you
may be. If you are a retired
State employee with at least 10
years of credited service, you
may be entitled to a $2,000 benefit If you retired on or after
October 1, 1966; If you retired
on or 'after April 1, 1970 your
beneficiary may be eligible for
a $3,000 benefit This benefit Is
not provided by the Retirement
System but by the State Civil
Service Commission and does not
apply to retirees of political subdivisions. Go to the personnel
office where you work to have
them compute your accumulated
vacation and sick leave, which
they are to send to the Retirement System. Also yoiu- eligibility
for the survivor's benefit should
be determined, you will be given
a form for you to name your
beneficiary, as well as a brochure
explaining the survivor's death
benefit. If it should ha-ppen that
your personnel office does not
supply this service, contact the
Civil Service Department, Bldg.
1, State Office Campus, Albany,
N. Y. 12226, or phone (518) 4574297, for death benefit information.
* If you are seeking disability retirement before you are of
retirement age, are the items in
this checklist applicable?
For the most part, yes, except
that disability retirement requires approval by the Retirement System and you will be
informed of the steps you must
take towards receiving a disability retirement.
• If you have vested rights,
may you retire at any time?
With vested rights, you may
retire only when you have attained "retirement age." You
have vested rights if you hiave
ten or more years of service
credit, at least five of which as
a member of the Retirement System. If you leave government
service, you may still receive a
benefit at retirement age, age
55 or 60 depending on which
plan you belonged to but not
if you withdraw at the time of
your resignation all of your contributions made t>efore April 1,
1960 does not affect your vested
status.
In preparing to retire, it is
worth tiaiking the time to visit
personally the places referred to
in this checklist:

Enact Broader SSI Guidelines
ALBANY—The State Legislature has enacted new
guidelines for the Supplemental Security Income program which provides funds for
persons over 65 yearsof age as
well as the blind and disabled.
The new legislation passes on
to SSI recipients the 8 percent
Increase granted by the Social
Security Administration to Social Security beneficiaries. An
administration spokesman said
that persons who nearly qualified for SSI in the past should
recheck their local Social Security offices to determine if they
are now eligible. Those persons
who qualify for the program also
autoniiatlcally qualify for Medicaid. Personal resources, either
savings or financial investments,
must not exceed $1,500 for a
single person and $2,250 for a
couple living alone.
An example of payments under the new guidelines would be
a total of $218.55, Including current income, for a person living
alone, and a total of $312.54 for
a couple living alone. Previously
the totial payment was $206.85
for a single indlvfdual and $294.94 for a couple.
Questions about the SSI program and the new guidelines
may be answered by personnel

telephone directory under U. S.
