Why CSEA Board Declined Affiliation
(Editor's Note: To clarify
the current situation in
which the American Federation of State, County and
Munioipal Employees seeks to
affiliate with the Civil Service
Employees Assn., The Leader
talked with CSEA
president
Theodore C. Wensl and Joseph
Laaarony, president of CSEA's
Rensselaer County unit. Mr.
Lacarony serves on the CSEA
expansion committee, which investirated aspects of possible a f filiations between CSEA and
other unions.)

the CSEA Expansion Commit-
tee a t t h e p i m u t time?
L A Z A R O N T : T h e c o m m i t t e e is
a Howard committee, formed by
the Board of ESrectors and responsible to the Board. In our
last repcH-t to the Directors, we
completely rejected any affiliation with any subdivision of t h e
APL-CIO. However, we did leave
open the exploration of t h e possibilities of some type of affiliation In which CSEA would be
allowed to have its own charter.
I can't stress strongly enough
t h a t this would be entirely different from the type of affiliation t h a t AFSCME is proposing.
However, the Board rejected this

possibility, and as f a r as the
CSEA Board of Directors is concerned, Uie issue of affiliation is
dead. Period.

ALBANY—The Civil Service Employees Assn. has
formally called for factfinding in current contract
negotiations between it and the
State for employees in the Institutional Services Unit, ending
what CSEA said was a n unsuccessful effort to mediate the situation.
An impasse was declared in the
contract tallcs for the Institutional Services Unit by CSEA in
late J a n u a r y . The State's top
mediator, Harold Newman, director of conciliation for the Public Employment Relations Board,
entered the dispute in early February. Several sessions arranged
by the mediator were held, but
no progress was reported as a
result of those sessions.

with stalled contract negotiations.
Presently, after an impiasse has
been declared in negotiations
and the mediation and f a c t - f i n d ing steps have r u n their course,
the last resort for the union is
to have a "legislative hearing"
at which tlie legislature decides

found t h a t a 6 percent raise
would i>e equitable. Instead, t h e
Legislature gave the woskers a
one-shot, taxable $250 "bonus."

L I . Region Officers
Urge Employee Voice
In Use Of Pensions
(Special to The Leader)
HEMPSTEAD—Two ranking officers of Long Island Region I, Civil Service Employees Assn., testified before a State
Assembly Task Force here to urge employee participation
in pension management to help return state worker confidence in the state's retirement
system.
Nicholas Abbatiello, Region second vice-president, urged the
creation of a state board with
public employee representation
to oversee retirement investments. I^e also voiced CSEA opposition to a state a t t e m p t to
use pension monies to purchase
moral obligation bonds and other
unsecured loans.
The Assembly Task Force on
the Seciu-ity of Public Pension
Funds heard Mr. Abbatiello, testifying in behalf of Irving Flaumenbaum, president of the Region, declare "the use of pension
money for buying moral obligation bonds of different municipalities does not give the retiree
the constitutional guarantee t h a t
monies from the pension f u n d
will be available when he is
ready to retire."
Mr. Abbatiello also restated a
CSEA position t h a t a board of
trustees should be established for
the management of retirement
funds.
"This board would include public employees who are members
of the retirement system. It is
their money and they should
have some say as to how the
money is used," he said.
J a m e s Corbin, president of the
CSEA Suffolk County chapter,
testified about erosion of confidence in the state pension system
among public employees.
"When I became a public employee, 19 years ago, everyone
was envious of the retirement
plan and the security t h a t civil
service jobs offered, despite the
low wage scale. Security and the
Legislators presiding a t public hearing by Assembly Task Force on the Security of Public Pension Funds
are, from left» Assemblymen Armand P. D'Amato (R-C, Baldwin, L.I.), chairman Lloyd S. Riford (B-C.
Auburn) and Henry Dwyer (D, Floral Park, L.I.).
retirement plan were the drawing cards to public employment.
T h a t is not the case any longer.
My members' pensions is one of
my most pressing concerns," Mr.
Corbin said.
Under study by the Assembly
committee is Assembly Bill 8015,
which would require employees
who Joined or rejoined a public
retirement system after July 1,
1973, to contribute 8 percent of

cost of membership in the system. Also under consideratdmi is
Assembly Bill 8016, which would
require prospective members of
the state retirement system to
contribute in the same manner.
Joseph G. Metz, executive director of the Permanent Commission on Public Employee Pension and Retirement Systems, appointed by Gtov. Hugh L. Carey,
testified at the hearings t h a t
the pension commission will submit a m a j o r report on pension
benefits to the Gtovernor a n d the
Legislature during the first week
In March. It will recommend a
new uniform public employee
pension plan to cover all employees In all counties, cities,
towns, villages, and school districts in the state.
According to Dr. Metz, the new
retirement plan will "result in
savings to every unit of government In the state." Observers say
t h a t the Metz Report will recommend drastically cutting back
pension benefits for those employees who Joined after 1973.
In earlier hearings In Albany,
CSEA's state programs administrator Bernard J. Ryan appeared to spell out the union's "unalterable opposition" to the indiscriminate investment of pension
funds.
Citing Municipal Assistance
Corp. bonds, Mr. Ryan declared
t h a t such investments "in areas
that cannot reasonably be considered sound Is to deprive employees of the confidence t h a t
they have had in their retirement
plan."
In January, testifying before
the Task Force in New York City,
Solomon Bendet, New York City
Region I I president, hammered
away at the use of pension

W E N Z L : T o my knowledge, we

they'll h a v e n o t h i n g to say a b o u t
w h e t h e r t h e y a f f i l i a t e or n o t .
O n t h e question of w h a t t h e y
would gain, t h a t ' s easy. Affiliat i o n with CSEA would give A F S C M E a t r e m e n d o u s s h o t in t h e

S h a n k e r . Does it h a v e a n y t h i n g to do w i t h AFSCME's
attempt
to

with
CSEA? Also, h a v e you ever
m e t w i t h Mr. W u r f personally
to get his views on a f f i l i a t i o n ?
W E N Z L : T h e r e ' s n o question
t h a t Wurf a n d S h a n k e r h a v e
been o n a collision course f o r
some time. T h e A F L - C I O r e a l ized some t i m e ago t h a t t h e iilg
g r o w t h i n unionism i n t h e years
to c o m e would be in t h e public
employment sector—to the extent, of course, t h a t t h e y set u p
a s e p a r a t e Public Employee D e partment within the organization. Since Wurf a n d S h a n k e r
h e a d e d u p t h e biggest public e m ployee unions w i t h i n t h e AFLiCIO, each of t h e m figured t h e y ' d
grow with t h e m o v e m e n t , a n d
undoubtedly got t h e idea t h a t
u l t i m a t e l y they've got a c h a n c e
to succeed George M e a n y . C o n sequently, t h e y ' r e b o t h p u s h i n g
to m a k e their respective u n i o n s
strong, p e r s o n a l power bases.
Wurf a n d S h a n k e r a r e now
openly c o m p e t i n g
with
each
o t h e r . Wurf h a s t h e a d d e d p r o b lem of n o t getting along with
George Meany, so t h a t he's got
to p u s h t h a t m u c h h a r d e r t o
o u t d o S h a n k e r . I personally feel
it's very likely t h a t Wurf will
end UP either pulling o u t of
AFL-dO
entirely
or
being
t h r o w n out, o n e or t h e o t h e r .
Of course, this would m a k e
AFSCME a r a t h e r poor choice t o

over CSEA's S t a t e P S & T U n i t in

W u r f ' s o u t f i t is d e s p e r a t e l y t r y ing t o get us to merge, a l t h o u g h
AFSCME h a s a l r e a d y said they'll
try to f o r c e a n election if t h e
m e r g e r falls t h r o u g h .
As to your question o n w h e t h e r
I've m e t with J e r r y W u r f , t h e
a n s w e r is yes. At t h e suggestion
of our e x p a n s i o n committee, I

his whole proposal. W h a t htappened was s i m p l e — h e was selling, but I definitely w a s n ' t b u y ing. AFSCME m a y need us, but,
believe me, CSEA doesn't need
them.
Anyhow, t h i s whole poweistruggle is directly responsible

L E A D E R : W h a t were t h e m a j o r

it would b e a 60 p e r c e n t i n c r e a s e

AFSCME's

that

for w h a t ?
LEADER: W h a t about the additional
political
strength
AFSCME says CSEA would

LAZARONY: T h e most Import a n t political goal of t h i s u n i o n
is t h e revision of t h e Taylor Law,
so t h a t it a t least provides for
" l a s t - o f f e r binding a r b i t r a t i o n , "

w h a t e v e r t h e y ' r e going to call it.
We've got to get it c h a n g e d so
t h a t it allows t h e union some

body t h a t they've been b a r g a i n ing with all along.
How, If A F S C M E were really

we'll raise & few million dollars,

of p e a c e — a n d also a savings
of money—because AFL-CIO

LAZARONY: T h a t ' s a n o t h e r
of t h e misleading claims by
AFSCME. You've got t o r e m e m ber several t h i n g s . First, CSEA
h a s been tremendously successf u l in raids. W e ' v e withstood
ch'3'llenges by every k i n d of imion
in a l m o s t every political subdivision you c a n t h i n k of. Over t h e

of money. B u t in t h a t f o u r years,
if we h a d been a f f i l i a t e d w i t h
AFSCME, we would h a v e s p e n t
over $26 million in increased

of a n A F S C M E p e r s o n holding

He said, 'If CSEA r e b u f f s A F S CME, t h e r e ' s going t o b e a

m u c h p r e f e r to t a k e t h e m on
in a series of challenges, r a t h e r
t h a n a f f i l i a t e with a g r o u p like
that.
Also. AFSCME falls to m e n t i o n
t h e police s t r i k e fiasco t h e y h a d
in Baltimore, w h e r e t h e y r u i n e d
t h e c a r e e r s of 500 policemen, lost
their

check-off privileges, a n d settled
for virtually t h e s a m e c o n t r a c t

f i r s t place.
T h e point is. a n d I t h i n k all
CSEA m e m b e r s a r e a w a r e of
t h i s : If you're going t o p a y $6.6
million for s o m e t h i n g , you o u g h t
to look very closely a t w h a t
you're getting. W e h a v e looked,
a n d we simply d o n ' t like w h a t
t h e y ' r e o f f e r i n g . Not a t $6.6 m i l lion a y e a r : n o t a t a n y price.
LEADER: Dr. Wenil, are there
a n y serious philosophical d i f ferences b e t w e e n CSEA a n d
AFSCME?
W E N Z L : T h e r e a r e two basic
c o n t r a s t s . First, t h e r e Is t h e
m a t t e r of w h o r u n s t h e u n i o n .
I n CSEA, t h e a p p r o a c h h a s always been o n e of total d e m o c racy. I n every s i t u a t i o n , t h e i n dividual m e m b e r h a s a d e f i n i t e
voice in how his u n i o n o p e r a t e s ,
t h r o u g h a I'adder-llke r e p r e s e n t a t i o n s t r u c t u r e t h a t goes r i g h t
to t h e top echelon. I n AFSCME,
t h i s Is not t h e case. T h e leaders h i p m a k e s t h e decisions m i l laterally, a n d t h a t ' s it. T h e o t h e r
basic philosophical d i f f e r e n c e Is
in t h e g e n e r a l o r i e n t a t i o n of t h e
two unions.
W E N Z L : You know, i t ' s f u n n y .
Publicly, t h e y ' r e t a l k i n g a b o u t
how I m p o r t a n t It Is t o h a v e
" u n i t y " between t h e two unions,
b u t w h e n you t a l k to t h e m , It's
easy to see t h r o u g h t h a t . W h a t
t h e y ' r e really plarmlng Is t h e
complete takeover of CSEA. A n d
t h e y ' r e o u t to do It a n y way t h e y
can, because t h e dues t h e y ' d get
f r o m our m e m b e r s would be
fantastic.
B y t h a t I m e a n t h a t o n e of
t h e m , CSEA, is t r u l y a civil s e r vice union. O u r m e m b e r s feel a t
h o m e working within t h e t r a d i tlortal p a t t e r n of civil service
rules a n d regulations. W h i l e we
n e g o t i a t e w h a t e v e r c h a n g e s we
feel a r e necessary in o u r conditions of e m p l o y m e n t , a t t h e s a m e
time we h a v e r e t a i n e d a s t r o n g
respect f o r t h e Merit System.
W i t h AFSCME. t h i s is n o t t h e
case. A F S C M E r e f l e c t s t h e t r a d e
u n i o n philosophy typical of AFLCIO. F o r example, w h e r e CSEA
subscribes to t h e idea of a n established classified service w i t h
set s t a n d a r d s for a p p o i n t m e n t
a n d p r o m o t i o n , A F S C M E would
r a t h e r h a v e t h e old " h i r i n g h a l l "
a p p r o a c h where t h e u n i o n d e cides who Is to be h i r e d . I n f a c t ,
I u n d e r s t a n d t h a t AFSCME is
p u s h i n g a federal bill r i g h t now
to p e r m i t t h i s sort of t h i n g in
t h e public sector.
LAZARONY: T h e y try to tell
us t h a t joining with t h e m would
m a k e us stronger, but t h e y h a v e
yet to prove t h a t they ore a
strong union. T h e y c o n s t a n t l y
talk a b o u t t h e i r P e n n s y l v a n i a
In my view, this would open
u p a new kind of spoils system
w i t h i n t h e union itself, with
u n i o n officials t a k i n g c a r e of
their friends — t h e same thing
t h a t h a p p e n s In politics.
Vacation Day Reductions?
(Continued f r o m Page 1)
Employee Relations, released a list of demands
the State has on the negotiating table, including
several to reduce benefits
from their present levels.
The spokesman noted
that the executive director of the State Retirement System has also
stated that no such plans
for the rumored reduction
are being made, and that
no legislation of that type
is planned or pending.
"We hope," the union
spokesman said, "that dispelling this r u m o r will
stop the recent rush f r o m
public employees for early
retirement based solely on
a fear of losing accrued
vacation pay."

TUESDAY, MARCH 2, 1976
Time For Reason
the capricious announcement last month by
FOLLOWING
Donald Wollett, director of the State Office of Employee
Relations, that the Civil Service Employees Assn. was asking
salary and benefits that would amount to a 35 percent increase, a number of editorials were written chastising the
union.
Besides the fact that Mr, Wollet's statement violated
the traditional "gentlemen's agreement" against unilateral
pronouncements by either side during the course of negotiations, there is a more fundamental defense of the CSEA
demands.
We wonder why editorial writers are not just as indignant
about the state's minus negotiating proposals as they are
about the union's demands.
It must be remembered that employees are still living
with the same salary that went into effect on April 1, 1974.
Now, as everyone knows, inflation and taxes have cut drastically into the purchasing power of that 1974 salary. In
terms of purchasing power, state employees are making less
today than they did two years ago.
Nevertheless, the state is repeating its stance of last
year when it refused to grant even a token cost-of-living
increase. Moreover, the state negotiations are based on finding ways to decrease benefits that the union has won for its
members over a period of many years in place of monetary
raises.
It is, of course, traditional in any negotiations that both
sides start with rather outrageous proposals and then compromise to a position that both sides can live with.
Considering the degree of erosion that undermined the
salaries of state employees, we do not find 35 percent to
be all that outrageous.
Yet, obviously, the union will eventually agree to something less, since it does not want to put the state into a
position where it will lay off workers in order to pay the
increases to the surviving employees.
But, if CSEA is expected to be reasonable, so, too, must
the state be willing to negotiate in good faith.
It is an axiom among teachers that you establish discipline with a new class during the first few weeks of a school
term, and then you can relax control during the rest of the
year since authority has been established.
In a similar manner, the Carey Administration might be
forgiven its tough stand during its first months in office,
but now, after a year of seasoning, it is time for the Governor and his aides to learn that the time has come for
dealing with the state's employees in human terms.

Reports To Soutli Region III
(From Leader Correspondent)
NEWBURGH—A picture of what the CivU Service Employees Assn. and its members
might have to gain or lose by affiliating with another union was presented to Southern Region m by three members of the CSEA expansion committee, at a Region^board meeting
at the Holiday Inn here.

president J a m e s J . Lennon a n nounced t h a t members t h r o u g h out the state be asked to make
similar contributions.
Mr. Pesci said if affiliation
was viable, the easiest way would
be for CSEA to get a c h a r t e r
from the AFL-CIO and receive
s t a t u s las a member union in t h a t
national group. This does not
seem likely to happen, however,
as the AFL-CIO has a clause in
its constitution t h a t a new u n ion c a n n o t be accepted if there
is a present member union covering the same group of workers.
T h e AFL-CIO h a s a member
union, the American Federation
of State, County a n d MunlclptaJ
Employees. AFSCME has been
trylivg to link up with CSEA for
a long time. Several representatives of AFSCME were present
during this meeting.
AFSCME has proposed a twoyear trial "marriage." CSEA
members would, for t h a t period,
be excused f r o m paying, t h e $2.40
per m o n t h required for AFLCIO national dues.
" W h a t ' s wrong with a trial
marriiage with AFSCTME?" a
member asked Mr. Pesci.
"I'll tell you what's wrong.
It's like a trial marriage between
a m a n a n d woman for two years.
If the couple stays together, fine,
but suppose they break up?
T h e n each of t h e m is> going
to have a very hard time getting
back Into olrcultitlon again and
finding new mates.
"It's the same with CSEA. It's
going to be very tough a f t e r two
years to go out into the cold
cruel world of Independent u n ionism again. If we do stay with
AFSCME, chances are, according
to past performance, t h a t one or
the other union eventually fades
out of the picture."
A plus for affiliation would be
t h a t CSEIA could save money,
tlnie idind e f f o r t fighting challenges from AFSCME, Mr. Pescl
pointed out.
Mr. Lazarony said CSEA might
save money on challenges but
members are going to have to
spend a total of $6.75 million
annually to belong to t h e APLiC I O 'when t h e two-year trial
period is over.
"We a r e going to have t o pay
$6.75 million a n d we get absolutely nothing back for t h a t , "

Other
questions
Included
whether AFSCME h a s more
political "clout" in Albai^r t h a n
CSEA. Mr. Pescl said he t h o u g h t
not a s they too h a v e troubles
with t h e Carey Administration.

For Improving Fire Protection
ALBANY—Following an analysis of a statewide study to formulate a program enabling fire officials to provide improved protection, Secretary of State Mario M. Cuomo Q
<
will make several recommendations in areas of priority submitted to his office.
The survey was conducted by the Division of Fire Prevention and Control in the r
D e p a r t m e n t of State.
Composite ratings of priorities
proposed by fire and municipal
officials reflected five areas of
concern. Mr. Cuomo listed these
as a p p a r a t u s and equipment;
fire training and education; investigation of fires; planning for
fire protection, and emergency
medical a n d rescue.
Mr. Cuomo said he would recommend dissemination of s t a n d ard specifications for a p p a r a t u s
and equipment. He noted t h a t
the New York State Office for
General Services has s t a n d a r d
specifications, and all municipalities In the stiate are eligible
to purchase under state contracts awarded by OGS. While
youwon*t
believe how
^ood it tastes...
until you
taste it I
mm
m a n y d e p a r t m e n t s utilize these
c o n t r M t s for the purchase of
fire-fighting equipment, very few
municipalities have taken advantage of this service for t h e
purchase of apparatus.
Progna-ms at t h e state level for
public fire prevention education
are virtually non-existent, Mr,
Cuomo said.
"While comments regarding
t h e programs at the Fire Academy at Montour Palls were essentially requests for expansion,
our response can only be In
tei-ms of additional
resources
and these we have requested in
our proposed budget for 1976-77.
Meantime, the revision of our
field training courses Is already
under way.
" I also will recommend a massive statewide media campaign
recommending the installation of
early warning detection equipment in private homes a n d residences."
I n the area of fire investigation, Mr. Cuomo said his office
is recommending la^ t h r e e - p h a s e
program to combat t h e increasing Incidence of arson. T h e first
phase would be a broad scope
training program for local fire
and police officials. T h e second
phase would establish several
teams of Investigators w h o would
provide technical expertise to local fire a n d police agencies required to obtain arson convictions. T h e t h i r d phase would u p grade arson evidence analysis
and provide 24-hour evidence
analysis assistance.
Changes in t h e federal program dealing with m a s t e r p l a n ning a r e not yet definitive, Mr.
Cuomo said, but he Indicated his
office h a d -already Initiated a n d
assisted with t h e d r a f t of t h e
State Fire Prevention Code which
it Is expected will be promulgated in May.
"Members of my staff intend
to assume a n active role In providing assistance to local fire
agencies to secure adoption of
t h a t code a t the local level. T h e
H e a l t h D e p a r t m e n t h a s primary
responsibility
for
emergency
medical a n d rescue functions in
the state. However, t h e fire services is deeply involved in this
activity a t t h e local level, but
faces problems with t h e enactm e n t of a new Article 30 of t h e
Public H e a l t h Law. We intend to
assist t h e fire service in their
negotiations to secure reasonable
provisions a n d a m e n d m e n t s to
Article 30 to enable t h e local fire
Jurisdictions to comply with the
intent of the s t a t u t e , " Mr.
Cuomo said.

"I am not impressed by Comptroller Levitt's statement regarding capping f u t u r e moral obligation bonds," Mr. Bendet continued. "Such capping requires
two-and-one-half to three years

with bad bonds.
"If moral obligation bonds are
not to be good in the future, they
are improper investments a t the

declared.

Could
Cause Loss Of Life: Chapter's Head

William Crtmm also said the
center could lose its profeaskMial
accreditation UUs year because
of ttie understaffing.
"Where would all the employees and t h e patients go if
the hospital had to close?** he
asked.
Mr. C r t m m said employee morale is "very low,'* because
about 200 more env>loyees are
needed.
"We're actually afraid." he
said. "And when a n employee is
ill, h e doesn't want to stay home
because he's a f r a i d of leaving a
co-worker unprotected.'*
During a recent flu epidemic
in cme center building, "staff
members who were sick enough
to be in bed still came to work."
he said.
Mr. Crimm said the chapter
is readying a grievance to be
filed with the state Department
of Ment&l H3^iene in Albany
charging t h a t employee safety is
being endangered by t h e help
slKMtage.
" F m sure well have t h e backing of t h e center's adminiatrators.'* he said, adding t h e c h a p ter is working witti the a d m l n istraUon "to make sure we will
have accreditation."
If the center does lose accreditation. t h e State Department of
Mental Hygiene would lose $10
million in matching federal-state
Medicare funds. T h e center also
would lose t h e right to train student doctors a n d nurses according to Robert Conley, center
deputy
director. We're
very
doubtful we'll be reaccredited
this year," he said.
Gordon Yudashkin. regional
department director, said t h e
center's chances for reaccreditation ' ^ r e not great, but they're
not hopeless either."
T h e J o i n t Commission on Hospital Accreditation gave t h e

center a one-year probational
accreditation last year because
of the understaffing and otJier
problems related to administration. In December, the staffing
problem worsened when
the
center lost 32 staff positions.
T h e sMte money for these positions ^ a s allocated instead to
the Pilgrim Psychiatric Center
<m Long Island, which loeb its
accreditation last year because
of understaffing. At t h a t time
E)r. Yudashkin said t h e Rochester center would have " a tough
time" getting reaccredited.
"Wliat concerns me is t h a t we
don't really have enough money
or people to meet the standards.
We're robbing Peter to pay Paul."
Dr. Yudashkin said last w e ^
he is working with hospital officials to Increase the staff by 25
persons a n d s o l v administrative
problems.
Mr. Conley said the accreditation commission has stiffened its
•iccreditation requirements in the
past several years.
"Commdssion members have
changed their direction," he
said. "They used to just look at
bricks
and
mortar,
judging
whether the building was clean
and in good repair. Now they're
looking at programs as well."
ALBANY—Efforts by State
