Ms. Carr received a unanimous vote from the CSEA Board of Directors to fill the remainder of the term of Dorothy MacTavish, who died this summer. As the runner-up to Ms. MacTavish in the three-way race for statewide secretary last year, Ms. Carr was considered to be a logical choice to fill the unexpired term. In addition, Ms. Carr is one of the two longest-serving regional secretaries, currently completing her fourth term as secretary of Central Region V (Syracuse). The Leader believes CSEA members will be interested in reviewing the campaign material submitted by Ms. Carr at the time of the general election. Her program is reprinted inside the paper.

Lancaster's 3-Year Pact: A 15% Hike C S E A SECRETARY IRENE C A R R McDonough: 'Don't Rap License Fee Hike' ALBANY — Thomas McDonough, a director of the Civil Service Employees Assn. representing employees of the State Department of Motor Vehicles, sharply attacked recent criticism from CSEA sources against newly Imposed increases in license fees for drivers convicted of traffic offenses. "What these self-styled critics don't understand." said Mr. McDonough. "is that loss of income from the increases would mean a loss of jobs for about 200 CSEA members.

The resolution also opposed cutbacks in funds which formerly went for transportation and other programs for patients.

Both are members of t h e Buffalo District Labor chapter. For the 1975-76 budget year of Eleanor Roosevelt Developmental Services, the Department of Mental Hygiene allowed for a staff ceiling of 831 to e f fect repatriation of people In large state Institutions back to their original counties and to develop community programs. In May 1976, ERDS attained a staff level of 7«». The regional director of the Department of Mental Hygiene, William Voorhees, then mandated a hiring freeze for the agency and set a new, lower oeiling of 727. This meant t h a t 42 positions would be lost. In the last three months, th'e ERDS staff has been reduced through attrition to 711; the hiring freeze still has not been lifted. "By consistently depriving Eleanor Roosevelt Developmental Services of t h e staff and money it needs to function, the Departm e n t is jeopardizing community programs a n d the resettlement program which h a s been the most rapid and successful of Its kind in the state," the resolution added.

Mr. Daly, in a letter to Assembly Speaker Stanley Steingut, said he had notified the Assembly leaders that he had rejected his appointment as ranking minority member of a subcommittee studying drug abuse, the post for which the "lulu" would have qualified him. However, the letter continued, the first installment of the $1,000 had been paid. Following several lawsuits and adverse publicity, the Legislature voted in Its closing sessiotvs to roll back the "lulu" payments to 1974 levels and to reduce the niunber of legislators who received them. However, the Assembly then amended its rules to recreate a number of committees and c o r r e ^ n d i n g "lulus" which had existed in 1974 and thus, were exempt. Mr. Daly said he was "extremely disappointed" that the Assembly leadership allegedly "used the back door approach to circumvent the so-called reforms that they instituted last year." o -ff, u u CJ M > tti u CT) TOURIST BOARD CREATED Gov.

Blue Cross and Blue Shield Plans off New York State • UY iqual Opportunity a Emplottr u. s. • ONDSI ^ i Contlntilng with this edition. The Leader presents a three-part series on the ComprehenslTe Emplojrment and Training Act (CETA)—What it is. how it is abused, and what is being done about it. Leader features editor Jane Bernstein has talked to a lot of people who should know the answers, but found they don't always agree. This series will, we hope, clarify some of the misunderstandings. CETA Abuse: Hard To Stop By JANE BERNSTEIN UILT into the comprehensive Employment and Training Act (CETA) are certain safeguards to minimize the extent of possible ajjuses in using CETA funds. The monies dispensed under Titles I, II, III and VI are f w purposes of providing training and employment to the hard-core unemployed, underemployed and individuals laid off by a municipality in time of financial crisis. An employer may not lay off regular workers and replace them with CETA employees. In order to be eligible for a CETA job or training program, an individual must be unemployed for at least 30 days, or in some cases 15 days, and be considered economically disadvantaged. Persons who have been unemployed for great periods of time and are unable to find jobs because of lack of skills generally have first consideration for work or training under CETA. When a person applies for a position, the prime sponsor (the state or municipality which administers the CETA program) must review the application completely, checking that all data is correct. An interview with the prospective worker is also necessary to determine eligibility. The prime spxansor must also fill out forms detailing the methods of recruiting and hiring workers. The U.S. Department of Labor appoints a Manpower Administration representative to monitor a prime sponsor and the programs that fall within the sponsor's jurisdiction. In New York City, for example, Manpower deputy administrator Ray Herbert is responsible for checking to see that the city administration IS in compliance with federal regulations. "We interview participants and program supervisors," Mr. Herbert said, "and we also check payrolls to insure that things are in order." But despite the monitoring of prime sponsors, which federal officials admit is not as effective as it should be in stopping abuses, violations do occur, and many of these abuses are politically motivated. The Manpower Administration in New York City discovered that seven people had been hired under CETA to work at the Office of Neighborhood Services, which is part of the Human Resources Administration. The Individuals were given the jobs as political favors, not one of them being underemployed or lacking in job skills. After the discovery, all seven were fired. "We took action that hopefully persuaded other city agencies not to do the same thing," Mr. Herbert said. "If this type of thing persisted, New York City could lose its CETA funding." If a prime sponsor is guilty of B Harder To Uncover noncompliance with CETA law, the federal government supposedly may stop the money for programs, or take the programs and funds out of the jurisdiction of the sponsor and administer them itself. But the threat of retribution does not always act as a deterrent. In May 1975, Donald Webster, member of the Civil Service Employees Assn.'s statewide ad hoc CETA committee, documented 4,1 charges of CETA abuse in the City of Mount Vernon. Other charges pointed "out that the prime sponsor had not given full consideration to the hard-core unemployed before determining who was to be hired under CETA monies, and that civil service lists were not fully reviewed to determine if there were eligible CETA participants in them. Mr. Webster explained another charge. On occasion, when a municipality must realize budget savings to be eligible for either state or federal aid, it may find it expedient to make that savings by transferring a regular city worker from city to CETA payroll. The employee's title may change under CETA, Mr. Webster said, but his or her duties remain the same. Therefore, a city may cut its own spending but not lose the services of a worker. Mr. Webster charged Mount Vernon with this practice of substituting federal funds for municipal funds. In addition, he wrote, . . there is a participant who had been declared ineligible for CETA funds, and is now back on the city payroll in the same position, but under another job title." CETA law mandates that a regular civil servant's job may not be usurped by a CETA worker. But it is possible to circumvent this provision of the law by abolishing a government job title, then substituting a CETA worker in the same job with a slightly different title. Tech-. nically, though the duties are the same, the "title" is not. Mr. Webster told of an incident in a city where 17 telephone operators trained CETA operators who then replaced them. The telephone operator title was changed to permit this to occur. CETA OW then, can this type of H violation be stopped? Whose ultimate responsibility is It to insure that abuses are thwarted or corrected when they exist? Mr. Herbert, of the New York City Manpower Planning Council, admits there is no way of constantly monitoring every facet of the various programs to prevent all abuses. At Civil Service Employees Assn. statewide ad hoc CETA committee member Donald Webster alleges it is a common practice for a municipality to substitute federal funds for municipal funds. This, he contends, allows a local government to appear to cut its own spending while retaining needed services. best, an organization may investigate when a complaint is received. Robert Lattimer, chairman of the CESA ad hoc CETA committee, agrees, as does tihe Associattion'fc counsel. Marge Karowe. "We just do not have the time, money or staff to look into all areas where possible problems might exist," Mr. Lattimer said. "The best we can do is train people on the local levels to make them aware of the violations that can be committed. Otherwise, we aJso must act on the basis of specific complaints and allegations." It has become more difficult to spot abuses since the widespread funding under Title II, officials say. That title, if the reader will recall, provides money for public service jobs. Since payrolls are mixed with regular civil servants and CETA workers in the city employ, it has become harder to tell the players. CETA employees are performing the same tasks as municipal workers, making the two types of employees indistinguishable from each other. In order to make sure that individuals under CETA are eligible for their posts, one must examine each payroll and personnel list of each municipal agency. ^ OW may a regular civil service « employee or private citizen determine if an individual is properly employed under CETA? The New York State Freedom of ^ Information Law mandates that cer- ^ tain records are open to the public. ^ These include the names, titles and (J) salaries of municipal workers, ex- PI cept those who work for law enforcement agencies. Local municipal laws also make public their office i checks and books. Section 51 of the rn General Municipal Law, which ap- > plies to counties, towns and vil- g lages, makes these records available. 58 If a worker has been a regular civil servant and is then switched 'Ti to a CETA payroll without having a l first been laid off for economic reasons, the transfer will show on the agency payroll. A written request must be made to the individual in an agency designated as the Records Access Officer for a subject matters list. This list will identify records that may be > examined by the public. These records, hopefully, will allow an individual to document any charge of improper CETA hiring that he or she suspects. This documentation is vital if action to correct an abuse is to be taken. Facts must include names, dates and titles of specific CETA jobs. After the information has been documented, the prime sponsor of the CETA program in the area should be contacted and informed of the violation. If the sponsor is equipped with these facts, he may take steps to right the situation, which may include the firing of the individual who Is Improperly employed, as in the case of the seven people in the New York City Office of Neighborhood Services. If the prime sponsor does not act within a reasonable amount of time, the federal Manpower Planning Staff in the area should be contacted. If the person making a complaint is a member of the CSEA, and has not had his or her charge answered satisfactorily by a prime sponsor, the CSEA legal department In Albany may be alerted and will attempt action. One Item that may aid in discovering abuses Is that public disclosure of participation and staff In the CETA program Is required by the Manpower Administration. Areas to study that might be subject to abuses Include duration of employment, responsibilities of the prime sponsor, job descriptions, artificial barriers to employment, eligible applicants, impairment of contracts and substitution of federal funds for municipal funds. A copy of memorandum MSD-CL35-74 should be obtained from the Municipal Civil Service Commission in a specific city. It was Issued by the New York State Department of Civil Service, and explains all personnel and civil service responsibilities under CETA. It details those areas where abuses are most prevalent. Even trying to combat abuses involving CETA ^ 1 1 not put an end to the controversy and questions surrounding its programs and participants.

Mr.' Spicci did not rule out the participation of the unit tential anti-Poixi voter. Imagination J in future drives but warned that when a settlement is reached, members would carefully assess it and see "how much, if anything, we will be able to contribute." According to United Way records, the unit, in the past three years, accounted for contributions in excess of $20,000. However, charity does begin at home. As Mr. Spicci cogently noted, costs of virtually every good and service have skyrocketed. EXespite the fact that both drives have worthwhile aims, it is unfair and unrealistic to ask employees to contribute today when their wages are stuck firmly in yesterday. The Thruway situation over the Labor Day holiday is also worth considering. It was a "work to rule" action. In it, toll takers at booths along the Thruway simply did what they are authorized to do, in this case, run occasional safety checks on vehicles. Given the volume of Thruway traffic over the holiday, however, such a "work to rule" action carried the potential of causing horrendous traffic jams. (As an offside, we wonder why, if Thruway officials wish to avoid such traffic jams, the safety check option is in the book? Auto safety is a worthy goal but having toll takers double in brass as vehicle inspectors is, not to put too fine a point on it, rather dumb.) Few traffic tie-ups occurred as few inspections were carried out. We rather think this was because the Thruway employees were less interested in harassing fellow citizens than giving the Thruway officials some serious thoughts to ponder. At any rate, though, these two situations seem to indicate that effective job actions or other devices used by public employees should be both imaginative and absolutely uhequivQcal in meaning. This lesson, we think, may well be useful to other chapters and units in dealing with obdurate employers. (C.O'N.)

Later you will receive a social security card showing your new name and the number you now have. lUY ION U.S. DSi Except for the fact thiat the White House becomes the focus of attention among the unemployed, Governor Carter and his political and economic advisers are similarly beset with the same problem about what to do witii the economy. In a speech to the executive council of the AFL-CIO, Governor Carter tagged unemployment as the major domestic problem. He therefore pledged wholehearted support for the Humphrey-Hawkins Bidl. that would in effect make the Federal government the employer of last resort by appropriating billions of dollars for public works programs. Major Economic Problem However, at other places and times, Governor Carter has publicly agreed with President Ford that the miijor economic problem Is not unemployment but Inflation. If that is the view of Carter and his economic advisors, then the Humphrey-Hawkins Bill doses Its public fioance; since It Is likely to have an Inflationary impact, by pumping billions of Federal dollars Into the economy. So the Democrats aiie also confronted with la dilemma. The Party platform, as adopted by the convention at Madison Square Garden, calls in no uncertain tenns for passing of that bill. The Democrats control both Houses of Congress, and they have the opportunity to live up to their platfoi-m by passing the bill now. It la obvious, however, Uiat miany Democratic Congressmen, who have been giving lip service to the Humphrey-Hawkins Bill, are worried about it.

An Inheritance Case From time to time this column will report cases of general interest to its readers. THE APPELLATE DIVISION, First Department, has recently held that when a testatrix used the word "issue" in her will, it included illegitimate children as well as legitimate children. The testatrix died In 1951. She left a will in which she established a trust for the benefit of her tw^jJ^ cousins. The trust provided that the income was to be given to the two cousins, and upon the death of the first one to die, the income from his one-half share should be paid "to his Issue." One cousin is still living; the other cousin died in 1965, leaving a son and a daughter who received their father's share of the income until 1972. « * * AT THAT TIME, the son died, leaving two illegitimate children. The son never married the mother of his two children, nor was an order of filiation ever entered. The surrogate, relying on precedent, decided that the word "issue"^ when used in a will meant "lawful issue" only, and absent" an intention to the contrary, it could not be assumed that the testatrix intended to include illegitimate descendants as the objects of her bounty. He, therefore, denied the right of the two illegitimate grandchildren of testatrix's cousin to inherit. « * * THE APPEALS COURT recognized in its decision reversing the surrogate, that the law was well-settled to the effect that the word "issue" presumes lawful issue and will be interpreted otherwise only where there is a clear intention on the part of the person making the will to includc# illegitimate offspring. In this case, the "issue" in question were the grandchildren of the income beneficiary. * * * IN EARLIER SOCIETY, there was no sense of injustice in teaching that the sins of the fathers were to be visited upon their children and succeeding generations. The presumption in favor of legitimate offspring was designed to harmonize testamentary language with the social mores of the time. However, the court jjerceived a recent change in attitudes and recent developments in the constitutional law. The court pointed out that an unfair burden w a s ^ placed upon illegitimates under a will and that such burden was outmoded and discriminatory and should be rejected. * * * THE NEW YORK CASES on this point were old and none had gone to the highest court of the state. The court examined some of these decisions and others where the courts have attempted by various circuits of reasoning to extend the scope of "issue" to persons "who were born out of wedlock but who later were legitimatized in some way . . . such as where the parents of the child subsequently married." There has been continuing concern and efforts a t ^ legislation to protect the rights of children who are bom out of wedlock.

L. PETERS THE PLACE NYC Westgate Plaza, Albany OPINIONS Dan Campbell, public relations, Civil Service Employees Assn.: "Corruption has been In society and democracy since Rome. It's an accepted fact that politicians basically run on a reform ticket to win. However, they never perform what they say they are going to. The first politician to really reform the government will most likely end up as the previous leaders of Rome; very dead, very fast. As far as In other phases of^ our aeclety, I truly feel there Is a resurgence of morality and ethics. After Watergate, I think people are looking for the semihonest, seml-respectable person who hasn't let the public down yet. We're more skeptical and less trusting today. It will take generations to change that feeling, though." Ruth l.rf>vegrove. senior file clerk. Commerce Department: "I suppose a lot of people, after reading about how politicians cheat on their income tax, feel, 'If he got away with it, why can't I?' But I still feel that everyone has some good in them; they can't be bad all the time. Everyone's Kot good in them. Only today, you just have to dig a little deeper to find it in some people. We didn't hear about corruption before. Now when it happens, it's so well publicized, everyone knows about it. Corruption has been hidden in the closet and it's coming out into the open, that's all. People are probably the same, but the news reporting is better." Cathy Hahn, travel agent: "I really think corruption Is a tough term to use because It's accepted that people will try to rip you off. Since It's accepted, It really Isn't considered corruption anymore. I must admit that I would leave my car unlocked here in Albany, while I would never do it in New York City. Yet, I would never walk at night on the streets here, and I am not afraid to walk at night in New York City. Most people consider themselves honest even though they have changed their values. I fear that most people are not aware of how far off track they have become." David Gillette, technical director, public television: "I definitely feel that corruption exists in politics. Once I was denied a government job because of behind-the-scenes corruption. In my personal life I feel my friends are the same as they always were. I'm a lawabiding citizen and I don't run into many people who are law benders. I have a pretty optimistic view of people, and I don't feel that the society is jaded because of the exposed corruption in politics. I feel the Better Business Bureau has kept corruption in merchandising down by keeping a close eye on the industry." Pete Walsh, attorney: "I feel that corruption has filtered down into all phases of our society. There has been a breakdown In the moral fiber of many people. People tend to follow the lead of their leaders, and when they see widespread corruption on the highest levels, the authoritative level that they look for, then they feel released from the single obligation to avoid corruption. The general attitude is if the highly paid public official can avoid prosecution for corruption, then there is no reason for the average man not to take the risk." Don Tlssinger, computer programmer: "I don't think corruption has gone very far in our society. I think that the number of people who stretch the tax laws is about the same. As far as business, I think if you go to a reputable dealer, your chances of getting taken are small. If he is established in the community, then you have various newspaper and media approaches which tend to keep businesses on their toes. I find that if I buy a product and something malfunctions. I can get my money back or exchanged without any trouble at all." gjllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllinillllHIIIIIIIIIIIIIIHIIIIIlllllllllllllllillllllH I Letters To The Editor Clarification Editor, The Leader: I read with Interesit tihe article contained In your Aug. 27 edition concernlnig the upgrading of Job titles within the Bureau of Disability Determinations. While we are all extremely happy over these upgradings, I feel I must write you concerning the statement that these classifications were negotiiaited. The titles and levels of these positions were recommended for upgrading to the Director of Classification and Compensation only after my staff performed a job audit and provided me with their recommendations. We have a fine relationship with the Civil Service E2mployees Assn. chapter ill the Bureiau and we did solicit their comments on our findings, giving them an opportundty to comment. However, beyond that, there was no "negotiation" between that or any other group with my office, with the Direc- I tor of Classification and Compensation, or with the Director of the State Division of the Budget. Again, I was happy to see the article because it was a long, hiard fight but I was disappointed with the implication that these classifications were negotiated. J. Benjamin McFerran Director of Personnel Anti-"Lulu' Editor, The Leader: I noted in your Aug. 13 edition story of "Lulu's Back And Assembly's Got Her I" that my opponent (Assemblyman) Neil Kelleher was referred to as "among those who led a fight to reduce the 'lulus' this year but who qualify for them." I feel that since the CivU Service Employees Assn. led the fight to eliminate the "lulua" (payments to legislators "In Ueu of expenses") and because of the Leader's obvloui importance in forming public opinion In New York State, a number of Issues should be brought to you attention. First, as the Democratlc-Llberal candidate in the 106th Assembly District, I have been unalterably opposed tu "lulus" from the outset of my campaign. Second, an Anti-"Lulu" Party has been formed in the 106th District and has enthusiastically endorsed my candidacy. I feel that you and your readers should be Informed of these issues. Your efforts to abolish this morally bankrupt system which fired public employees and allows legislators to collect "lulus" should be applauded. Michael R.

Note: This amendment was made by Bernard Schmahl during the March, 1976 Delegates' Meeting. The amendment was proposed in order to conform to the Restructuring Ck)mmittee Report on the state elections, recommending that State elections be held In September thus removing the election date from the time when the contracts with the State expire on April 1. 5.

Vacancy In the office of President shall be filled by the Executive Vice President." REST OF SECTION REMAINS THE SAME. After consultation with the Restructuring Committee, the Committee recommiends defeat of this amendment due to the potential costs Involved In conducting a second election. 2. The Committee received the following amendment to Article r v . Section 6(b)3 of the Constitution as follows: "(b) NOMINATIONS. 3. Such election shall be by secret ballot. The names of the committee members selected by the various Regions shall be filed with the Secretary and Executive Director of the Association not later than January 1st. The Nominating Committee shall select at least two nominees for the offices of President, Executive Vice President, Secretary and Treasurer. The Nominating Committee must sel- ect a nominee from the State Division and a nominee from the County Division for each statewide office. The State Division members of the Nominating Committee shall also select at least two nominees for each position on the State Executive Committee, In all cases an incumbent shall be one of said nominees if he consents to become a candidate. No nominee shall be eligible as a candidate # for more than one statewide office. However, a position on the State Executive Committee or County Executive Committee shall not be deemed a statewide office," The Committee Is not recommending for or against the adoption of this amendment, 3. The Committee received the following amendment to Article V of the Constitution entitled "Regions" 0 as follows: "REGIONS "For purposes of internal organization of The Civil Service Employees Association, Inc., the state shall be divided Into six regions as follows: 1. Long Island Region: Nassau and Suffolk. 2. [New York City] Metropolitan Region: Richmond, Kings, New York, Queens and Bronx. 0 3. Southern Region: Westchester, Orange, Dutchess, Ulster, Rockland, Putnam, and Sullivan. ' 4. [Albany] Capital District Region: Clinton, Essex, Warren, Hamilton, Washington, Saratoga, Schenectady, Montgomery, Albany, Schoharie, Greene, Columbia, Rensselaer and Fulton. 5. [Syracuse] Central Region: Broome Cayuga, Chemung, Che- ^ nango, Herkimer, Cortland, Delaware. Franklin, Jefferson, Lewis, Madison, Oneida, Onondaga, Otsego, Schuyler, Seneca, St. Lawrence, Tioga, Tompkins and Oswego. 6. [Buffalo] Western Region: Niagara, Orleans, Monroe, Wayne, Elrie, Genesee, Wyoming, Livingston, Ontario, Yates, Chautauqua, Cattaraugus, Allegany, and Steuben. All chapters shall be members of 0 the region in which the chapter headquarters is located." REST OF SECTION REMAINS THE SAME. The Committee recommends adoption of these amendments In view of the fact that the current trend appears to be to refer to the six Regions as geographical areas and not merely by major cities. 4. The Committee received the fol- ^ lowing amendment to Article VI, Section 1 of the Constitution entitled "State Executive Committee." "Section 1. STATE EXBCUTTVK COMMi'lTEE: The power and authority to transact business relating to state employees shall, except as provided herein, be vested in a State Executive Committee. The State Executive Committee shall consist of the officers of the Association, and one representative from each State Depart- # ment. The Judiciary, the Legislature, the State University, the Waterfront Commission and state public authorities as one unit, shall be deemed State Departments. The Faculty Student Associatlons[,l and Teachers' Retirement System [, and the Higher Education Assistance Corporation] shall as a unit be deemed a State Department. In addition to the foregoing, each State Department # with more than 3,000 members as of January 1 in an odd-numbered CONSTITUTION AND BY-LAWS year, shall for the term of office beginning the following July, be entitled to one representative on the State Executive Committee for each 3,000 members or major fraction thereof." REST OF SECTION REMAINS THE SAME. The Committee recommends adoption of this amendment since the Corporation name was changed by New York State and they were incorporated Into the New York State Education Department and should now be represented by the Education Board members. 5. The Committee received the following amendment to Article VI, Section 1 cf the Constitution entitled "State Executive Committee": "Section 1. STATE EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE: The power and authority to transact business and establish policy relating to state employees shall, except as provided herein, be vested in a State Executive Committee. The State Executive Committee shall consist of the officers of the Association, and one representative from each State Department." REST OF SECTION REMAINS THE SAME. The Committee recommends defeat of this amendment because of the inherent conflicts, i.e., one division not knowing what the other is doing, and that this is one more step in dividing CSEA into two separate entities. 6. The Committee received the following amendment to Article v n . Section 1 of the Constitution entitled "County Executive Committee": "Section 1. COUNTY EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE. The power and authority to transact business and establish policy relating to employees of the political subdivisions of the state shall, except as otherwise \ provided herein, be vested in a County Executive Committee which shall consist of the officers of the Association and one representative from each County Division Chapter, and one County Educational Chapter Representative from each CSEA Region elected by the County Educational Chapter members within each region." REST OF SECTION REMAINS THE SAME. The Committee recommends defeat of this amendment because of the inherent conflicts, i.e., one division not knowing what the other is doing, and that this is one more step In dividing CSEA into two separate entities. 7. The Committee received the following amendment to Article v m of the Constitution entitled "Meetings of Delegates" which would add a new section to read: AS PROPPOSED AMENDMENTS TO THE BY-LAWS. IF PASSED AT THIS MEETING. THEY WILL BECOME EFFECTIVE IMMEDIATELY. 1. The Committee received two proposed amendments to Article I, Section 1, "President" of the By-Laws as follows: "Section 1: PRESIDENT. The President shall preside at all Board of Directors and Delegate meetings of the Association. The President shall serve on a full-time basis. If the President is employed and is unable to obtain a paid leave of absence from his employer, the Association shall, pursuant to law, obtain a paid leave of absence for the President and the Association shall reimburse the employer for the cost of such leave. His signature shall be required on all contracts and on all orders drawn upon the Treasurer that have been approved by the Association or the Board of Directors. He shall be a member exofficio of all committees and shall initiate and effectuate plans which, in his judgment, are in the best interest of the Association. [He shall be responsible for the organization and direction of the staff of the Association, and shall direct and supervise the collection of dues.] He shall direct and supervise the issuance of all publications of t h e Association. He shall appoint all committees of the Association unless the method of selection is otherwise directed or provided. He shall give a surety bond, at the expense of the Association, in an amount fixed by the Board of Directors. He shall by September first of each year furnish to each member of the Board of Directors a proposed budget consisting of an itemized statement of estimated revenues and anticipated and proposed expenditures for the [then current] ensuing fiscal year. The first amendment dealing with the deletion of responsibility for the organization and direction of the staff of the Association and with the direction and supervision of the collection of dues is based on the premise that these are duties of the Executive Director and the Comptroller of the Association respectively and should not be contained in the Constitution and By-Laws. The second amendment is for clarification purposes only. The Committee reccMnmends adc^tion of these amendments. BY-UWS 2. Numorous recommendations were received by the Committee to estab^ lish certain criteria necessary for a member to seek election to a statewide office. Many of the proposals were based on the belief that those individuals seeking statewide office should be active, public employees. A new section under Article I of the By-Laws to be numbered Section 7 and entitled "Qualification" would read as follows: * ''Section 7: QUALIFICATION. No member may be a candidate for statewide office, including regional president, if he will have attained age sixty-eight (68) prior to July 1st in the year of the election.** The Committee unanimously recommends adoptilon of this amendment. THE FOLLOWING ITEMS ARE PRESENTED TO THE DELEGATES BY THE COMMITTEE 3. The Committee received the following amendment to Article II, Section 2 of the By-Laws entitled "Section S. REPORTS. No committee of the Anoolation win be allowed to make an oral report to the Delegates onlen Iti report shall have first been sabmitted to the Delegates in writing at least thirty (M) days prior to the opening day of a Delegates' Meeting/' The Committee recommends defeat of this amendment based on the fact that past experience indicates that a complete listing of Delegates is not available to CSEA Headquarters 30 days prior to the opening date of a Delegates' Meeting. "Board of Directors": "Section 2. BOARD OF DIRECTORS. Meetings of the Board of Directors shall be held [upon call of the President] four times per year. Upon written request of five or more members of the Board of Directors, the President shall call a special meeting of the Board." The Committee recommends defeat of this amendment on the basis that this is a matter for the Board of Directors to decide since they are most knowledgable as to how often and when they should meet. 4. The Committee received the following amendment to Article n , Section 2 of the By-Laws as follows: "Section 2. BOARD OF DIRECTORS. Meetings of the Board of Directors shall be held upon call of the President. Upon written request of [five] ten or more members of the Board of Directors, the Ih-esident shall call a special meeting of the Board." The Committee recommends adoption of this amendment on the basis that ten represents a reasonable requirement for calling a special meeting in view of the costs involved. 5. The Committee received the following amendment to Article n . Section 4 of the By-Laws as follows: "Section 4: STATE EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE. Meetings of the State Executive Committee shall be held upon call of the President. Upon the written request of [five] ten or more members of the State Executive Committee, the President shall call a special meeting of the Committee." The Committee recommends adoption of this amendment on the basis that ten represents a reasonable requirement for calling a special meeting in view of the costs involved. 6. The Committee received the following amendment to Article II, Section 5 of the By-Laws as follows: "Section 5: COUNTY EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE. Meetings of the County Executive Committee shall be held upon call of the President. Upon the written request of [five] ten or more members of the County Executive Committee, the President shall call a special meeting of the Committee." "nie Committee recommends adoption of this amendment on the basis that ten reivesents a reasonable requirement for calling a special meeting in view of the costs involved. 7. Tlie Committee received recommendations to delete in its entirety Section 6(c) of Article n of the dyLaws as follows: "Section 6: SPECIAL MEETINOS. [(c) The President shall call a special meeting of the Association each year between January 1 and June l."l The Committee recommends defeat of this amendment but would recommend that the Budget Committee study such a proposal. 8. The Committee received the following amendment to Article IV, Section 3(c) of the By-Laws as follows: "(c) REFUNDS TO REGIONS. Each region of the Association shall receive from the Treasurer an annual payment of [ten] twenty cents per member of the dues collected from the member- ship in such region. In the event that a region adopts a plan for assessing the chapters within its region, the State Treasurer may, n upon notification by the Regional < Treasurer that a chapter is delin- r quent in its regional assessments, (X deduct that assessment from the n chapter's direct rebate from the Association and transmit, upon M approval of the Board of Directors, Ci n the assessment to the Regional r Treasurer." n > After consultation with the Budget Committee, the Com- g mittee recommends defeat of w this amendment on the basis that insufficient funds are available to implement this q1 amendment. 9. The Committee received two amendments to Article VI, Section 1 of the By-Laws entitled "Standing Committees" to read as follows: "Section 1: STANDING COMMITTEES. The Standing Committees of the Association shcUl be as follows: Insurance Committee, Legal Committee, Revision of Constitution and By-Laws Committee, Retirees Committee, Convention Committee, Political and Legislative Action Committee, [Grievance] Committee,] Pension Committee, [Salary Committee,] Committee to Restructure CSEA, and Education and Training Committee." REST OF SECTION REMAINS THE SAME. The Committee recommends adoption of these amendments based on the fact that (1) the Grievance Committee has no real viable function since grievances are covered under the grievance procedures outlined in the contracts between CSEA and the State of New York, and (2) the Salary Committee is, and has been, historically only for usage in one CSEA division which no longer justifies its continuance under the strict guideline of a standing committee as outlined in Section 1(a) and Section 1(d) of Article VI. 10. The Committee received a proposed amendment to Article VI, Section 3 of the By-Laws entitled "Negotiating Committees." The recommendation was to create wording with regard to all division bargaining entitles. After much discussion, the Committee voted that such an amendment would be too burdensome as there are approximately 600 different negotiating units. As an alternative, the Committee recommends the following amendment: "Section 3: STATE NEGOTIATING COMMITTEBS. There shall exist the following negotiating committees: 1. Operational; 2. Administrative; 3. Institutional; 4. Professional, Scientific and Technical, in addition to any other duly certified state bargaining unit or units which CSEA may be elected to represent. All appointments to the Negotiating Committees shall be made by the President upon the advice and consent of the appropriate Regional Executive Board." 11. The following amendment was proposed to Article VI, Section 4 of the By-Laws entitled "Special and Ad Hoc Committees' inasmuch as the wording contained in the section is presently applicable only to Special Committees. Ad hoc committees, by definition, are formed for a particular end or case at hand and are not appointed for a specific period of time.

Buffalo Area Retiree Meet for the Thruway talks, Patrick Monachino, said negotiations between the union and the Thruway are scheduled for three days this week and several days again next week in an effort to Iron out an agreement before formal, mediation begins Sept. 21. "We've tried to get management to come back to the bargaining table ever since they walked away on June 1, and now that we've finally got them back you can bet we're willing to conduct serious and positive negotiations," Mr. •• Monachlno said. Mr. Moniichlno said the union is re-entering negotiations In a much stronger position than when talks broke off on June 1. "Several months ago management thought the employees would cave In to their intimidation. but now management realizes those tactics pushed employee morale dangerously low while uniting the employees together. "Management got U tremendous shock when the employees rose up in an^ter Labor Day Elect Irene Carr CSEA Secretary (Continued from Page 1) After serving CSEA for many years in various capacities, I now seek the office of Secretary. I have been active in the Oneonta Chapter as Secretary, Delegate, and now President for six years. I do not plan to seek this office again because other members must be encouraged to hold office. The potential growth of CSEA depends on the active participation of our younger members, and they certainly will become discouraged if they cannot have an active voice in the organization. I have participated in CSEA on a Regional basis and Statewide basis as follows: Recording Secretary of Region 5 for six years Chairman of the Hospitality Committee of the Region for six years Member of the Safety Committee of the Administrative Unit Presently serving as Chairman of the Social Activities of the conventions within the Convention Committee. Most of the delegates to the conventions will recognize me from these social activities; I feel I have carried out these duties conscientiously and would now like to work for CSEA in a further capacity as Secretary. Most of my years with the New York State Department of Health have been spent employed in an executive secretarial capacity. While it is not essential to be a secretary for this office, I am a secretary and proud of it, and do not feel it should be a detriment. After graduating from business college some time ago, I am'now pursuing an associate degree In applied sciences through negotiated CSEA educational benefits. We, as an organization, are entering an era, a time in which our many problems will tend to not only be multiplied but magnified. Negotiations and representation rights not being the least of our problems must be faced head on daily. Our many problems must be faced up to, understood, and walked into, not around. Anything worthwhile is worth the fight and effort it takes to be accomplished. The time has come for a change. For too long now we, in this Association, have accepted a self-perpetuation of the same Statewide officers. I ask you for an opportunity to help, to participate, to be allowed to make the effort required to continue CSEA as the biggest, best and toughest public employee union in this country. With the expertise gained over the years of service with CSEA, I am capable of fulfilling the duties of Secretary in an efficient and conscientious manner, and I ask for your vote. weekend. They decided to come back to the table just as quickly as they could get there to try and cool the employees off. Now the employees have the respect of management, and that's Important In negotiating a new contract," he declared. The prior contract covering the 2,200 employees expired June 30. and Thruway management apparently irritated employees thereafter by refusing to honor several key areas of the prior contract. "We got some concessions back in agreeing to resume talks over the Labor Day weekend, land I'm hopeful we'll be negotiating this week with the rest of the previous contract intact," Mr. Monachlno said. "Management made many mistakes throughout this dispute. I'm hopeful they'll correct them now that serious talks have resiuned. Rockland Unit, Citing No Pact, Will Not Contribute (Continued from Page 1) Rockland (bounty chapter president John Mauro has been a member of the board of directors of United Way of Rockland County since 1975. "However," Mr. Spied wrote, "on behalf of the 1,750 oovmty employees represented by the CSEA, I must inform you that om* economic situation has changed di^tically In the piast 12 months. We have fallen farther and farther behind as the costs of food, housing, clothing, insurance and other necessities have skyrocketed. "Working without a contract since Jan. 1, we can no longer contribute to the charitable onuses that mean so much to us. "Thei-efore, It Is with regret that I am urging my fellow county employees not to participate in either the United Way or the Savings Bonds drives this year; not until the legislative hearing is over and we can see what the settlement contains and how much, if anything, we will be able to contribute." A legislative hearing hias been set for Tuesday, Oct. 12 at 8 p.m. at the Clarkstown High School, after which the county legislators will Impose a one-year settlement on the workers. The hearing is the last step under the state's Taylor Law, which governs contract negotiations for public employees. The law stiates that In cases in which the two sides cannot agree on the terms of a new contract, the legislators can Impose a one-year settlement after a hearing. Spicci Letter Mr. Spicci said in his letter, "I assure you that the donation to United Way and the purchase of Savings Bonds by county employees will be in direct proportion to our ability to contribute. We sincerely hope that these worthy causes realize their best year ever. Whether they do or not will be determined only after the terms of the settlement have been decided." County employees have donated more than $20,000 to the United Way drive In the past three years, records show. Roosevelt DC Raps Cutbacks (Continued from Page 3) jeopardy. These enable many IJeople to live at home with their families, rather than at O.D. Heck or other stijte facilities. "CSEA chapter 445 supports Eleanor Roosevelt Developmental Ssrvices goals of high quality community-based services for children with developmental disabilities and retarded people of all ages and, therefore, must condemn the recent repressive measures taken by the Department of Mental Hygiene to vmdermine these goals under the false pretext of saving the taxpayers money," the resolution said. "It has been shown time and again that it is not in the community but in the large state-operated human warehouses, called institutions, where money and the lives of citizens in this state are being wasted." CSEA Constitution, By-Laws Proposals (Continued from Page 9) "Section 4: SPECIAL AND AD HOC COMMITTEES. The jSpecial Committees of the Ass(x;iation shall be as follows: Armory, Auditing, Membership, Hfuman Rights, Memorial Scholarship Fund, Plaque, Civil Service, Regional Office, Platform, Social Services, Probation, Non-Teaching School District Employees, Special Election Procedures, Special Authorities, Work Performance Ratings and Examinations, and such other committees designated by the President of the Association. Members of these committees shall be appointed by the President of the Association for the duration of his term of office or until successor appointments have been made. Special Committees should meet at least three times a year and review matters pertinent to the committee assignment and/or upon call of the Association's President. The membership of these committees shall not be less than seven, not more than eleven, and the make up of such committees shall include representation from each region and proportional representation for the County Division on such committees that affect county problems. Ad hoc committees may be appointed by the President of the Association." The Committee recommends adoption of this amendment. 12. The Committee received the following amendment to Article VI of the By-Laws entitled "Committees" which would add a new section to read: "Section 5. COMMITTEES.

In these tough times, the greater the percentage of memt)ership of any county unit or chapter, the greater the strength at the t>argaining table. The greater the percentage of state employees belonging to CSEA, the greater the strength of the state bargaining units. Therefore, we are offering members in good standing a cash incentive to recruit new memt)ers. There is no limit to the number 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 YOU FIVE ($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-weekly 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 before September 15 will be paid on December 15th. The second payoff, for new memt)ers signed between September 16 and November 30, will take place on February 15. CHAPTER OR UNIT PRESIDENT HAS CONVENIENT SIGKI-UP CARDS Ready to go? See your Chapter or Unit president ord all the necessary information. Send your cards in as soon as you sign up a new member —and 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 member you've signed up. Only CSEA members in good standing as of June 1,1976, may recruit new members during this drive. New memt)ers 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-member, we ask you to think of this: sharing the load in these tough times is important. Legally, we represent you—at 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 benefit you in many ways. So help us share the load by signing up with us. CSEA —the most powerful force in New York State working for public employees.
