VICTORY IS SWEET IN ULSTER C O U N T Y
For the lienefit of any doubting Thomases, these three Civil Service Employees Assn. officials raise
their hands in victory following Ulster County employees' voting to retain CSEA as their bargaining
agent. The CSEA win earlier this month was by a 2-to-l margin over the Service Employees International Union. The three CSEA officials shown here were among those who had worked hardest to assure
the CSEA win. Frcnn left are field representative Thomas Quimby, chapter president Thomas Phillips and
Southern Region supervisor Thomas Luposello. (Another photo of the Ulster CSEA victory celebration
appears on page 16.)

GOSHEN — Employees
of
Orange County who lost pay
because of the Taylor Law
penalty imposed for the Civil
Service Employees Assn. Job
action last March most send
their requests for reimbursements to the Orange County
chapter office in Goshen by
Aug. 30.
Letters have been sent by
the chapter to those members
who have not yet returned
their official reimbursement
request forms, reminding them
of the deadline.
turn on Thursday. Sept. 16 if
the bargaining situation has not
improved before.
The state Public Employment
Relatio(ns Board has scheduled a
hearing that day at its headquarters In Albany on an improper practice charge brought
by the CSEA. It alleges that the
Thi-uway Authority has violated
the Fair Employment and Pnactices Act by refusing to negotiate in good faith, failure to implement continuation of the
prior contract during negotiations and deliberately interfering
with employee and union rights.
Negotiations
between
the
CSEA and the Thruway Authority have been stalled since
June 1 when the Authority unilaterally broke off talks. Since
that date, the CSEA has filed
three different improper practice charges against the Thruway management for a series of
acts and action, which, the union
says, "has shattered employee
morale and clearly indicates an
anti-employee, anti-union attitude on the part of mana«rement."
All three official. charges are
pending before the PERB.
In addition to refusing to return to the bargiaining table,
the Thruway management has
also refused to continue provisions of the contract, which ex-
pired June 30, while taking other
unilateral actions to strip away
or reduce various employee
rights, the CSEA contends.
Flaumenbaum
Raps License
Fee Increase
MINEOLA — Irving Flaumenbaum, president of Civil
Service
Employees
Assn.
Long Island Region I, has
protested the increase in licensc
fees for drivers convicted of traffic offenses.
In a letter to Oov. Hugh L.
Carey, Mr. Flaumen'baum termed
the recent decision "arbitrary"
'and a "means of double taxation."
He pledged that the CSEA
"will take whatever action Is
necessary to cancel such an ev41
tax."
Copies of the letter were distributed to kx;al legfelators on
Long Island.
The new policy was knplemented this month by the Department of Motor Vehicles in order
to make up revenues cut from
other areas of their budget.
Arbitrator Rules In Favor
Of Wlliowbrook CSEAer
On Doctor's Illness Notes
STATEN ISLAND—An arbitrator's decision upholding a
Civil Service Employees Assn.'s Interpretation of a provision
In the agreement between the state and the CSEA covering
the Institutional Services Unit will prohibit the state from
unilaterally requiring doctors'
certificates for employees absent
three days or less due to illness.
The favorable decisdon by arbitrator Benjamin H. Wolf was
the result of a grievance the
CSEA filed on behalf of a Mental Hygiene therapy aide employed at the Wlliowbrook Developmental Center here. The
aide had been required by her
supervisor to provide a (toctor's
certificate for each absence from
work she claimed was due to
illness, regardless of the length
of her absence. The art>itrator
ruled that the woman be reimbursed for a sick day when she
was docked because she did not
submit a doctor's note.
The provision in question. Article 10.9, provides "a doctor's

Two days later, the CSEA held
a meeting at the Holiday Inn in
Spring Valley to question candidates for statewide office on - J

issue.
All candidates for the State

State employees Common
Retirement F u n d , which
purchased state notes earlier
this year which tihe private investment industry refused to
buy. this week sold them to that
same market which is now eager
to acquire them.
The Fund will realize a profit
of about $600,000 on the resale
of approximately $288.5 million
worth of tax and revenue anticipation notes.
Comptroller Arthur Levitt, sole
Fund trustee, said the sale was
made to a group of banks and
brokerage houses which will, in
turn, attempt to sell the paper to
the public.
The purchasing .syndicate, directed by Salomon Brothers and
including Goldman Sachs. Merrill Lynch, the Chase Manhattan
Bank. Citibank and others, will
pay the Fund $100.21 for each
$100 worth of the state notes,
plus annual intei'est of 7 percent
prorated from June 15.
The public will be able to buy
the notes from the syndicate in
$25,000 denominations at 5.6-6
percent interest.
"It Is now clear that these
notes were an excellent investment for the Common Retirement Fund," the Comptroller declared. "Their resale is another
indication of the renewed confidence in the fiscal soundness
of the state."
Budget Director Peter C. Ooldmark Jr. termed the sale "a very,
very important step in the continuing strengthening of the
state's credit."

No News Is Bad News
of good news stories is an editor's nightmare, but
LACK
even more so when there are important issues to be
settled.
This is one of those weeks—but it shouldn't be.
Nearly one-eighth of the membership of the Civil Service Employees Assn. Ls waiting for movement on contracts
that have been held up one way or another by management
insensitivlty to the problems of public employees.
There should have been news this week on a contract
for Nassau county employees, but there isn't.
After nine months of negotiations, 14,000 county employees there are still patiently exhausting all the legal
maneuvers available to them. On the other side, Nassau
County Executive Ralph Caso has refused to offer any wage
increases. The dispute has gone through impasse, factfinding, mediation and a legislative hearing. Irving Flaumenbaum, president of the Nassau CSEA chapter, has
threatened a lawsuit if the Nassau Board of Supervisors imposes a wage freeze.
There should have been news this week on a contract
for Suffolk county employees, but there isn't.
The situation in Suffolk is much the same as in Nassau.
Here the county employees are currently awaiting factfinding recommendations on a cost-of-living increase and
payment of increments. The unity of Suffolk employees has
been twice demonstrated to the county during this time by
the re-election of James Corbin as Suffolk CSEA president
and by the inability of a rival union, the American Federation of State, County and Municipal Employees, to force
a challenge election. Still, Suffolk County Executive John
V. N. Klein, like Mr. Caso in neighboring Nassau, has continued to follow a course that jeopardizes the long-standing
support given him by public employees.
There should have been news this week on a contract
for Rockland county employees, but there isn't.
Again, the same story. Rockland chapter president John
Mauro has called for binding arbitration to settle the contract dispute that has been drawn out since Jan. 1. CSEA
leaders and county employees have been staging demonstration marches incessantly during the past few months and
have gone on radio to publicize their cause while they await
a fact-finding report.
There should have been news this week on a contract
for State Thruway Authority employees, but there isn't.
The dispute over a contract for the 2,200 toll collectors,
maintenance and clerical employees is one of the most bitter
at the present time, with CSEA charging the Authority with
"deliberately interfering with employee and union rights."
CSEA has filed three Improper practice charges against
Thruway management with the State Public Employment
Relations Board, and a hearing has been scheduled for next
month If the situation has not improved by then.
There should have been news this week on the payment
of Putnam county employees, but there isn't.
This is probably the most frustrating situation of all
the ones mentioned here. Here, despite court orders and
arbitration rulings, the County still has not disbursed the
money it is legally obligated to pay employees per terms of
their February 1975 contract. The defiance by the Putnam
Board of Supervisors in the face of repeated legal victories
by CSEA defies description.
Settlement of any of these five labor disputes would
have been a major news event. Perhaps by Nov. 2, those
public employees who are affected by such shoddy treatment will be angry enough to cause some real changes in
the attitude of public officials toward civil servants.
Nov. 2, of course, is election day.

Garald Ford at the Republican
convention In Kansas City.
Now the votei-s of the nation
can finally concentrate their
thoughts, as well las their emotional reactions, to their choice
between Gerald Ford and Jimmy
Carter.
As Carter perceptively indicated last week, his predominant status In the opinion polls
Is likely to show some decline
now that the voters are faced
with a clear choice. Nevertheless,
unless the Ford campaign takes
some dramatically unexpected
turn, Carter looms at the moment as the clear favorite.
What About Northeast?
Whatever bitterness was generated 'among Republicans In
the prolonged race between Ford
and Reagan will quickly evaporate. The Republican convention turned out to be a neat accommodation. The Reagan forces
won the platform and the Ford
forces won the nomination. That
.should leiave all Republicans
happy and present no problem
for Ford, since all platforms are
constructed with such shoddy
craftsmanship that no presidential candidate would dare to
stand on It anyway.
The strategies of both the
Ford and Carter he&dquarters
are both likely to start with the
assumption that Carter, as a regional favorite, is likely to do
well In the South, a circumstance
tha/t will necessarily obUge the
Ford strategists to look elsewhere for a combination of states
that will total a majority of the
electoral votes.
The northeast sector, including New York, with its secondhighest num'ber of electoral
votes. Is likely to become a major
battleground as the campaign
gets under way. While the Democrats have l>^r more enrolled
registered voters than the Republicans, the contest here is
likely to be a spirited one, with
the answer unknown until the
ballots are finally counted.
In past elections, at least, the
numerical superiority of the
Democrats was not sufficient to
stop Republican victories. Thus
Gov. Nelson A. Rockefeller, Senator Jacob K. Jiavits, aixd Attorney General Louis J. Lefkow'ltz were elected and re-elected
with overwhelming majorities.
Other Elections
Leading the Republican forces
will be Richard Rosenbaum, the
Republican state chairman, who
has proved himself to be a determined and effective political
leader. While he had some difficulty with delegates from
Brooklyn, who were wholehearted Reagan supporters, these differences will disappear as the
campaign gets under way. The
Reagan supporters in Brooklyn,
just like the Ford supporters in
the rest of the state, will easily
get together not only for the
purpose of electing a Republican
President, but also for the purpose of electing la Republican
United States Senator. Republican State Senators and Assemblymen, as well as other Republican candidates for judicial offices and a wide variety of local
offices.
The New York voter tends to
be independent, and Ford and
Carter will have to make diametrically opposed appeals to
capture Uie independent voter
here. For Ford, the problem is
to extend his appeal beyond the

P.C., and chairman oif the Nasc»u County Bar Amociation Labor
Law Committee.
A Discipline
Question
In the case Matter of Sette v. McCambridge, the Supreme Court, Onondaga County, was faced with the question
of whether a civil service employee who was found not
guilty of incompetence or misconduct may nevertheless be
disciplined. The facts of the case are as follows.
A CIVIL SERVICE employee was brought up on charges
for violation of a work rule that required employees to punch
out at the conclusion of a shift. A lengthy hearing was
conducted pursuant to Section 75 of the Civil Service Law.
The hearing officer found that the violation of the work
rule regarding the time clock did not constitute incompetence or misconduct. Despite this finding, he recommended as a "penalty" the loss of two hours' pay. The hearing officer justified this penalty on the ground that a
Section 75 hearing was not required under law and could be
ignored and the penalty imposed as though the hearing had
never taken place. The administrative director adopted the
recommendation of the hearing officer and the petitioner
was docked two hours' pay.
•
•
THE PETITIONER commenced an Article 78 proceeding to vacate and annul the action of the administrative
director. The petitioner argued that the administrative
director's action was contrary to the express provision of
Section 75(1) of the Civil Service Law. This section prohibits the imposition of any disciplinary penalty except for
incompetency or misconduct shown after a hearing upon
stated charges.
*
*
CITING SECTION 75(3) of the Civil Service Law, the
court stated that the pay deduction penalty constituted a
disciplinary penalty that required a hearing. Having established that a pay deduction is a disciplinary penalty, the
court, relying on Section 75(1), concluded that such a penalty could only be imposed on the petitioner if he was
found guilty of incompetency or misconduct. Since the
hearing officer's opinion specifically stated that the petitioner's conduct did not constitute incompetency or misconduct, the court determined that the decision to so penalize the employee was in error.
«
«
*
THE COURT'S OPINION concludes with a public policy
justification of the court's determination. The decision
stated that there is no authority to support the argument
that the pay deduction may be imposed as a "proper function of management control" without a finding of incompetency or misconduct. The court continued by saying that
if law allowed such action, a public employer could easily
circumvent Section 75 merely by calling a fine a pay deduction and Imposing it as a management prerogative pursuant
to a work rule. The court concluded that the Legislature
intended that Section 75, enacted to protect public em(Continued

Shirley Palmer, therapy aide:"In view of the fact
that public employees have been
denied a raise, many civil service workers need a second job
to keep up with the level of
the cost of living. I feel that
most state employees, unless
they are higher in the administration and thus higher paid,
need a second Job. Our employees make Just enough not
to qualify for welfare and food
stamps. Any person with a family in my capacity would need a second Job to
live a decent life."
John Carrera, therapy assistant: "In order to
live halfway decently, or just
to keep up with their bills,
most civil servants I work with
must have two jobs. In addition, their wives work and they
still have a tough time making
it. I've held a second Job for
three and one-half years and I
had to stop. Now that my wife
is working, we seldom see each
other. She works from eight
until two and I leave at three.
You won't find many state workers driving new
cars either. I've had to keep mine working for
ten years now."
Clara Franklin, nurse: "I had to have two jobs
in order to buy a house and
raise five children by myself.
I worked six days a week and
six nights and I still couldn't
make ends meet. If you have a
large family, your children will
want to participate in activities
and all of these things are extras. If they can't participate,
^ ^ ^
they grow up with no interests
Ik^ \ S H I
H in life. Some of the things that
they might excel in are taken
away from them because they can't afford the
opportunity. All of my children knew when pay
day was; the refrigerator was filled."
Margaret Conners, nurse administrator: "Public
employees have to work a second Job because the average pay
is $8,000 and to make ends
meet, you inevitably need two
jobs. The cost of living, since
we state employees received a
raise, has gone up almost 25
percent. We may be dedicated
state employees, but that doesn't help us at the grocery store.
Many of my employees must
work two jobs and their wives
must also work. Their home life is ruined because
they have no time with their families. They have
to spend all their time making a living."

Lorraine Scott, senior steno: "The majority of
your public workers are on a
lower scale than most people
realize. You Just can't support
a family and children on the
salary that one person can
make today. Either the h m band is going to have to hold
down two full-time Jobs or the
wife is going to have to work.
If the wife works, the children
are going to be on the streets
and you are going to have the
conditions that we have today. The children have
no one to take care of them. Mommas and poppas
are too busy earning a living and it's the majority
of state workers that are having this problem."
Madeline Mackey. transcriber: "I thing it's deplorable that American citizens,
including
public
employees,
must seek a second job to
maintain their households and
raise their families. It's part of
I-the time, it's part of the action, to try to rid this country
of its middle-class people. The
rich get richer and the poor
get poorer. The only way to
^ eliminate this is for the public
to get out and know who they
put into office and get rid of the people who are
draining us of our monies, our health and
strength and get back to a normal, way of
American life."

Editor, The Leader:
I, too, am a state worker and
a member of a minority group.
I take exception to the unqualified complaint (about minority
groups. Leader, Aug. 13 Letters

If there were no laws to protect the rights of all New York
State workers equally, minorities
would have no defense against
unproven, false, racist allegations.

Salaries
Editor, The Leader:
I wrote a letter to (Civil Service Employees Assn. president)
Dr. (Theodore) Wenzl asking
about the mandate from the
delegate body as to the salaries
of our paid CSEA staff. They informed the members that this
report would be forthcoming.
I received a letter from our
president saying that after the
delegates voted on this referendum, the Board of Directors
voted against 2,300 voting delegates, saying they did not have
to show the salary structure of
our paid employees.
I thought the CSEA prided itself on being democratic! This
sure does not sound very demo-
cratic to me!
I wish someone would tell it
like it is! I hope this letter will
bring some short opinions on
this matter.

The social security system tries
to provide 80 percent of the average of the final three years
of earnings after 40 years of
service, plus some severance pay
at the end of service. There are
very few private pension plans
to add to this. Executives generally get 80 percent of the average of the last three years
service after 30 years on the job,
with a substantial severance payment. Normal retirement age is
60 for men and 55 for women
but many retire after 35 years
of service with a less-than full
amount. There is a celling of
12.600 lira a year (about $2,100
a year). Executives usually get
their pension paid in 13 Installments, two of them in December.
Japan
A pension system in effect since
1959 provides a very small retirement benefit, but a new plan
is in the works at the moment.
Workers with 30 years of service
get about 60,000 yen a month
($200). Old people, survivors and
the disabled get a flat sum. Large
employers with more than 1,000
employees have worked out an
insurance plan with the government. usually palcj for by a
tax of 6.4 percent for men and
4.8 percent for women, and 7.6
percent for mining workers, paid
half by the employer and half
by the employee. Private retirement plans have customarily involved lump sum payments based
on the last year's wages. A 1962
tax law encouraged this type of
set-up. A few companies do have
annuity payment plans.
(To Be Contlnned)
* • •
Federal employees get annual
adjustments to their retirement
income to reflect the cost of living. In addition, 1 percent la
added each year. Legislation that
would eliminate this add-on
feature is ourrently in Congress
(HR-3310). The bill would eliminate the 1 percent bonus but
make automatic
adjustments
more frequently.

Belgium
Everybody who works in Belgium is covered under one or
both of two social security systems. The two will eventually be
merged. Full benefits, which
amount to 60 percent of an adjusted lifetime earning, go to
men who have worked for 45
years and women who have
worked 40 years. Maximum payment is $1,100 a year. A family
where the wife has no benefits
of her own gets an additional
25 percent. If an employee does
not have a full career, the benefit is adjusted for the number
of years he has worked. Many
private companies have additional pension plans. The objective is
to provide a retirement pay of 65
percent of final salary after 40
years of service. Many companies give lump sum payments on
retirement because there is a
tax advantage in doing this.

Outline HMO Rules & Benefits
ALBANY —The New York
State Department of Civil
Service's Employee Insurance Section recently issued
a n outline of what health maintenance organizations lare and
how employees in the public
sector can benefit from them.
HMO's, the section outline
said, are group medical practices established to offer comprehensive medical care to persons living in an area served
by the group.
By agreement with its various
bargaining agencies, the state
will offer membership in approved HMOs as one of the enrollment options available to its
employees
under
the
Stait#
Health Insurance Program. Only
those HMO's which have qualified under federal guidelines established by t h e Health Maintenance Orgianiaation Act will be
approved for participation in the
state
program.
In
addition,
where more t h a n one federally
qualified HMO serves the same
area, the state reserves the right
to designate only one for p a r -
tlci];>ation in the state prognam.
Participating subdivisions are
not subject to the provisions of
this particular bargained agreement and the decisions as to
whether t o make membership in
a n HMO available to its employees will rest with each individual subdivision.
At present, there is one federally qualified HMO in New
York State, the Genesee Valley
Group Health Assn. I t is likely
t h a t one HMO in Albany and
one or two in New York City
will also become federally qualified before the year's end.
As each of these organizations
becomes federally qualified and
approved as an option under the
State Health Insurance Program,
eligible employees who reside in
the area served by the organization will be given an option to
elect coverage with that group.
If you or any of your covered
dependents are age 65 or older,
or have not 'attained age 65 but
are receiving Social Security disability benefits a n d are eligible
for enrollment in the Federal
Federal
Job Calendar
Detailed announcements and applications may be obtained by
visiting the federal |ob information center of the U.S. Civil Service
Commission, N e w York C i t y Region, at 26 Federal Plaza, M a n h a t t a n ;
271 C a d m a n Plaza East, Brooklyn; 590 G r a n d Concourse, Bronx; or

eligible for Medicare whether or
not you enroll in t h a t program.
Therefore, It is extremely Important t h a t you and your covered dependents enroll in Medicare when first eligible.

your employing agency for the
monthly cost of enrollment In
the Federal Medicare Program.
Your personnel office has additional information on this requirement. Retired state employees

STREAMLINING THE AGENCIES
The Temporary State Commission on Management and Productivity In the Public Sector, headed by Lt. GOT. Mary Anne Krnpsak,
recently began open hearings on how to Increase efficiency In
Kovemment operations. Ms. Rrupsak expressed a hope that the
hearings would have "a lasting effect on what is aptly described as
our 'permanent government.' We're talking about how to do more
with less. If you eliminate unnecessary operations, yon can do the
more relevent tasks better. We want to ask the agencies how they
assign priorities, reach decisions, carry out inspections and do a
wide variety of tilings. We're not looking to lay blame on anyone or
threaten. WeYe telling people that we do not want to attack them
for past practices but only want to look at possibilities for the
future. We're not talkin&r about firing people. In some cases, we
may want to retrain them for better jobs. But basically, we want
to increase workers' interest in their jobs and provide better services to citizens as a result.

NEW PLAN FOR RETARDED
A number of residents in the state's largest institutions for the
mentally retarded will be shifted Into community-based programs
such as family care and hostels over the next five years under a
plan announced this montli by Gov. Hugh L. Carey. The number
of patients affected will be about 8,800. The largest number of
shifts will take place in the state's older, larger institutions; at newer
developmental centers, the number of patients will increase. The
plan states: "It Is now the goal of the State of New York to turn
around the system of services to' the developmentally disabled from
its historically derived institutional system to one that places major
empliasis on the individual and community setting." Under the
plan, the state will cut down its present patient population of
about 20,000 to about 10,500 by 1981. It will create 4,250 new family
care placements and about 6,200 additional hostel beds.

mands vigilant action by the Civil Service Employees Assn.
to protect them, CSEA Long Island Region I president Irving
Flaumenbaum has declared.
Mr. Flaumenbaum, also president of the union's Nassau County chapter, said that CSEA legal
counsel is probing the potential
disputes ttiat may arise.
The solidarity of court employees—who have heretofore
been represented by CSEA county
chapters tiiroughout the state—
will make possible a strong defense of all their rights and
privileges as they become state
employees represented by CSEA,
Mr. Flaumenbaum said.
The legislation providing for
state takeover of the courts recognized the right of court personnel to their present pay and
benefits, according to CSEA
counsel James Featherstonhaugh.
"But we know that in such a
massive operation, somebody will
try to get away with something."
Mr.
Flaumenbaum
asserted
"CSEA, from the grass roots up
to Headquarters, must monitor
every step of the way and pre.sent the full force of the entire
range of court personnel."
Also crucial, Mr. Flaumenbaum
said, are the terms of a new
labor contract to be negotiated
by CSEA with the state and
which will become effective next
April 1. "This will have to bring
order and Justice to the court
personnel system." he said.
"We need, in these next six
months, the closest cooperation
of all in the CSEA structure, with
ail its research and legal capabilities, to protect the employees,"
Mr. Flaumenbaum asserted.

Assn., has sent a two-page
list of questions to the CSEA
Headquarter's research department concerning the monies to
come from "Title One" and

Region president Joseph McDermott requested the information so t h a t CSEA leaders will
be able to dlBcuas the matter
with CSEA members.
The letter questions the distribution procedure t'nrough state
agencies or local government

The letter closed: "We want

CSEA can plan for the future

Let Them
Serve,
Says
Silverman
Legislation which would permit New York City police and
firefighters to serve on community planning boards has been
Introduced by Theodore Silverman, chairman of the City Council Civil Service and Labor
Committee.
The city charter bars police
and firefighters from serving on
public bodies. The
proposed
amendment would remove the
ban from service on planning
boards.
"It is the policeman." said Mr.
Silverman, "who, through local
precinct
community
councils,
works with and helps our youth,
our senior citizens, our local
merchants, our block associations
and civic associations."

their hands raised in the V-forVictory sign, CSEA supporters
show their pride in retaining the
independent status of their union.
Ulster chapter president Thomas
Phillips, at right of front row,
is obviously pleased, as is Southe m Region III supervisor Thomas Luposello, standing far right.
For Mr. Luposello it is the second straight victory in the CSEA
region this summer: Sullivan
County employees had retained
CSEA in an election last month.

has been filed against the South Jefferson School District
and Alson Dougherty, a paid negotiator for the district.
Mr. Kane declaied t h a t Mr.
Dougherty has flailed to bargain
in good faith.
"We reached agreement after
two mediation sessions to May
and June," Mr. Kane said, "and
the 102 members in the bfargalning unit voted to ratify t h a t
agreement. Now, h e (Mr. Dougherty) is not upholding his end
of the agreement. Our CSEA negotiating team made many ccncessions diuibtg mediation. Now
we learn t h a t Mr. Dougherty

"It all seems totally unfair

Lennon Expresses Thanks
For Support In Elections
FISHKTT.Tr—Civil Service Employees Assn. Southern Region III president James J. Lennon expressed his thanks
to union members, elected officials and staffers who contributed to the tjiree recent CSEA victories in representational elections in the Region.
"In the space of three months,
the CSEA has beaten a rival
union for the right to represent
the State Thruway Authority, the
employees of Sullivan County,
and the employees of Ulster
County," Mr. Lermon said.
"This was, due to the hard
work of CSEA members here,
and also to the CSEA staff both
in the Region and in Albany.
"It was truly a team effort,
where local telephone committees
and chapter officers worked
hand in hand with CSEA field
reps, public relations and research workers, and with r a n k and-file employees.
"Most of all, it shows the loyalty of the employees themselves
to the CSEA, whi<di was the incumbent union in all three cases.
It diows t h a t the workers know
which union can do the job
for them."
STRENGTH IN UNITY
MEMBERSHIP DRIVE
JUNE 1-NOVBMBER 3 0
Never in the history of our union has it been so
vital to stick together — grow together and share the
k>ad to keep us strong. In these tough times, the
greater the percentage of membership of any county
unit or chapter, the greater the strength at the tiargaining table. The greater the percentage of state
employees t>elonging to CSEA, the greater the
strength of the state bargaining units.
T h m f o r e , we are offering members in good standing a cash incentive to recruit new members. There is
no limit to the numljer of new members you may sign
up. And while the cash incentive is nice to receive,
the most important factor is the strength you will be
helping to build for you and your fellow worker.
ONE (Member) WILL GET
Y O U F I V E ($5)
For each new member you sign up between June 1
and November 30, CSEA will award you $5.00. After
you have signed up the new member he must be on
the payroll for four bi-v\/eekly pay periods or the
equivalent thereof. Many members are planning their
Christmas shopping around this membership drive.
The Christmas Club bonuses for all memt>ers signed
up t)efore September 15 will be paid on December
15th. The second payoff, for new members signed
between September 16 and November 30, will take
place on February 15.
CHAPTER OR UNIT PRESIDENT
HAS CONVENIENT SIGN-UP
CARDS
Ready to go? See your Chapter or Unit president
for special sign-up cards which have a place to rec-
ord all the necessary information. Send your cards in
as soon as you sign up a new member — a n d we'll
credit your account with $5.00 for each member
signed up.
We'll keep your account up to date and will return
to you, in writing, a receipt for each new memt)er
you've signed up.
Only CSEA members in good standing as of June
1, 1976, may recruit new memt)ers during this drive.
New members must work in a unit of government
represented by CSEA. So we urge you CSEA members—go to it — start signing up non-members for
cash in your pocket and security in your future.
NON-MEMBERS SHOULD
HELP SHARE THE LOAD
If you're a non-memt)er, we ask you to think of
this: sharing the load in these tough times is important. Legally, we represent you — a t the bargaining table —and even in processing grievances. And
we need your support — morally and financially — to
fight the battles ahead. Our dues are most reasonable for the services provided . . . services which
tjenefit you in many ways.
So help us share the load by signing up with us.
CSEA — t h e iTiost powerful force in New York State
working for public employees.
