Suit T o A v o i d
I m p o s e d Pact
MINEOLA—A suit seeking to set aside the imposed
contract forced upon employees of Nassau County has been
filed in State Supreme Court by the Nassau County chapter,
Civil Service Employees Assn.
BACK-TO-BACK WESTCHESTER VICTORIES
John Scuderi, left, has seen the end of a three
year ordeal and has been awarded a $60,000 settlement by the City of Yonkers following the successful conclusion of a long court fight brought
in his behalf by the Civil Service Employees Assn.
Mr. Scuderi was a City of Yonkers Board of
Education employee who received a pink slip in
January 1973. The CSEA suit in his behalf argued
that the dismissal was illegal in that he had not
been given a hearing prior to the firing. The
initial suit, brought in Westchester County Supreme Court, was rejected because it was held
that the suit was not brought in a timely manner.
The CSEA carried the issue to the Supreme Court's
Appellate Division, however, which reversed the
county decision and ordered the case back to
Westchester Supreme Court for another hearing.
That time, the Westchester court ruled in favor
of the Scuderi suit and made the large award.
The $60,000 represents compensation for back
wages, interest on them, and lost fringe benefits.
Above, joining Mr. Scuderi in smiles over the
copy of the court order are Raymond Cassidy,
president of the Westchester CSEA Local 860,
center, and Southern Region III attorney Arthur
Grae, who handled the litigation.
In the second successful Westchester County CSEA
coiu-t action, Christopher Bodalato, seated, checks
over an arbitrator's decision reinstating him with
a promotion to the staff of the Town of Harrison. Last Dec. 31, Mr. Badolato, then a junior
engineering aide and president of the Town of
Harrison CSEA unit, saw his job abolished by
town authorities. Harrison officials claimed the
move was caused by economic pressures but no
other employee was discharged. The CSEA, citing
union-Harrison contract provisions which contain an anti-union activity discrimination clause
and others which protect the status of most senior
qualified individuals in lay-off situations, asked
that the matter be brought to arbitration. This
move was opposed by the town but their request
for a court stay was denied when Judge Morris
SUfkin ordered the issue to be arbitrated. The
arbitrator, Jonathan Liebowitz, then ordered Mr.
Badolato reinstated with back pay for his former
post and directed that the Town of Harrison promote him to the next senior job. Above, from left,
are Pug Lanza, current Harrison unit president,
Mr. Cassidy and Mr. Grae.
The suit was filed in fulfillment of the warning given to
the Nassau Board of Supervisors
by Irving Plaumenbaum, president of the 22,coo-member chapter.
The action came as negotiations were opened by the CSEA
negotiating team for a 1977 contract, under a firm deadline for
results by Nov. 30.
Mr. Pluumenbaum said that
the team was "fed up" with the
treatment given to employees by
Out-Of-Title Grievance
Case Won At Brooiciyn DC
BROOKLYN—Following the filing of a grievance by the
Civil Service Employees Assn., the Department of Mental

The total pactoage, initialed by

period," Mr. Flaumenbaum said.
The CSEA lawsuit against the
Imposed contract charged t h a t
the Board of Supervisors violated
the Taylor Lnw by failing to observe the best interests of both
employees and the public. Mr.
Flaumenbaum not<^d t h a t the
Taylor Law, "although it is very
stringent in limiting employee
rights and rarely requires responsibility on the part of the
employer, it still imposes some
i-esponsibilities on the employer."
The ksy requirement on the
Board of Supervisors in imposing
a unilateral contract is to con"=lder the best interests of both
the employee and the public. The
suit charges t h a t the Board
members made up their minds
on the contract to Impose a wage
freeze even before conducting
the legislative hearings required
by the Taylor Law.
At the hearings, Mr. Flaumenbaum, CSEA Long Island Region
I attorney Richard Gaba and fiscal consultant Horace Z. Kramer
presented evidence proving the
employee need for a pay increase
and also t h a t a 6 percent boost
would not necessitate any significant increase in county taxes.
The Board imposed a unilateral contract Oct. 18 providing
only a new. fully-paid family
health insurance plan for new
retirees.
because they eliminated the increment system.
"I have been mandated to hold
the Increment system by the unit
presidents above all else," said
James Corbin, president of t h e
Suffolk chapter.
The impasse went to the legislature earlier this month under
Taylor Daw procedures when the
CSEA rejected the recommendations by county fact-finders.
The Democratic majority of the
legislature
had
blamed
the
County Executive of deliberately
delaying the signing of a contract with the employees in order
to balance his 1976 budget, with
money originally budgeted for
raises and increments, and to
embarrass the Democrats in the
Legislature.
"It was either this or a wage

freeze, because Mr. Klein h a d
spent the money set aside for the
employees' raises and increments," said Mr. Corbin. "For
14 months, the County Executive
failed to come to any agreement
with the union. He passed the
ball to us and we fielded it. I
think we came up with a solution t h a t is both in the public
Interest and in the best Interest
of the employees."
The settlement will now be
voted on by the Suffolk CSEA
membership before it is taken to
vote by the full Legislature on
Thursday, Nov. 9, the day the
Legislature is to vote on Mr.
Klein's proposed 1977 budget.

in this respect.
"We're instituting two new
systems in two to three years,
using computers, and we hope to
find duplication of payments and
hope to effect a savings for the
taxpayers."
He also added t h a t "the state
is frustrated and irritated, just
like you people. But we — the
state — have to follow federal
mandates or we lose federal
funds," he reminded.
He added t h a t the lawsuits he
mentioned brought by the counties against the state only serve
to frustrate cooperation or partnership with the state to force
reform on federal agencies.
Mr. Wiley also said thiat It was
wrong for members to blame all
county budget problems on the
rising welfare caseload. Inflation
in general, he said, has added to
everyone's financial burden.
Mr. Kelly also emphasized t h a t
"if you ignore the federal m a n dates, you lose the federal funds."
New York State, he added, is
very much aware of the f i n a n cial difficulties at the county
level.
"We're pressuring at the federal level," he said. "The problem grew up over a number of
years and it is not going to be
solved overnight."

When Nassau chapter 830 of the Civil Service Employees Assn. celebrated its 28th anniversary last
month, it was only natural that the union's top brass should show up to pay their respects. From left,
looicing over souvenir program, are Long Island Region I second vice-president and Nassau chapter
vice-president Nicholas Abbatiello, CSEA treasurer Jack Gallagher, CSEA president Theodore C. Wenzl
and CSEA vice-president and Long Island Region I president Irving Flaumenbaum. Mr. Flaumenbaum
is also president of Nassau chapter, and has guided its growth from a membership of approximately
1,000 to its current 20,000-plus strength. Nassau chapter is the largest by far of all CSEA chapters, with
more than twice the membership of its closest competitor. Nearly one-tenth of the total CSEA membership is within Nassau chapter. The dinner-dance was held Oct. 16 at the Malibu Club in Lido, Long Island.

Taylor Law Strike Penalties:
By JANE B. BERNSTEIN
MANHATTAN—The Public
Employment
Relations
Board, in a recent decision,
eliminated the automatic
union dues checkoff privilege of
the United Federation of Teachers. T h e penalty wias imposed
because of a week-long teachers
strike last year.
The penalty was imposed under provisions of the state's Taylor Law, which governs conduct
of public sector employees. The
move has attracted renewed attention to the law and created an
additional amount of antipathy
for it by public employees.
The Taylor Law replaced the
Condon-Wadlin Law. WhUe It
gave public employees t h e right
to collective bargaining, it also
prohibited strikes by them and
imposed specific penalties should
strikes occur.
These penalties include fines
against a union which sanctions
a strike by its members; the
loss of two days' pay for each
day an individual is on strike,
and the forfeitvire of dues checkoff for a union.

Striking Orange County employees march on picket lines last April. CSEA faces exorbitant fines and
possible forfeiture of dues checkoff as a result.
Corporation Counsel—seeks an
injunction against the strikers.
If the injunction is violated, the
strikers may be held in contempt
of court. An assessment of the
damages is made, and then the
choice lies with the court as to
what penalties it will enforce
under the remedies of the Taylor Law.
The Office of Collective Bargaining does not have the power
to enforce Taylor Law penalties,
and Its director, Arvid Anderson,
is of the opinion t h a t such a
power would not be appropriate.
So far. In the history of New
York City, no organization under OCB h a s ever had to forfeit
its dues checkoff. The courts
have never imposed this measure.
Some say the practice of not enforcing it is the most politically
expedient, because of the political clout a union may have.
Hence the complaint, especially
in New York City, t h a t unions
found guilty of violating the
Taylor Law by strUclng are not
p>enalized consistently.
Outside of New York City, the
Taylor Law permits the establishment of local employment
boards, known as "minl-PERB,"
which administer the provLsions
of the law. There are 13 of these
local boards which cover workers
employed by Delaware County,
Town of Hempsteiad, Town of
New Castle, Nassau County,
Town of North Hempstead, Onondaga County, City of Syracuse,
Syracuse School District, Town
of Oyster Bay, Town of Rye,
Suffolk County. Tomplcins County and Westchester County.
The local boards may also use
their discretion in invoking Taylor Law penalties for strikers.
On Long Island, members ot
the Nassau Community College
faculty senate had tiieh dues
checkoff suspended for six pay
periods In 1972 because of a
1971 strike.
The Valley Stream Board,
which has since been disbanded,
suspended dues for a nine-month
period for Maritime Local 342 in
1973 as penalty for t h a t union's
1972 walkout.
These two bdards saw fit to
impose the maximum penalties.
Not all local boards do so.
One source, who asked not to
be identified, said, "Let's face it.
many municipalities do not want
to mess up a good thing in the
way of an agreement between
labor and management.
"It is much easier to only impose fines and the loss of two
days' pay. instead of causing a
FK>litlcally powerful imlon to lose
thousands and thousands of dollars through suspension of dues
checkoff."
The Inconsistencies do exist.
The question may then be raised.
"E>oes the Taylor Law work?"
Its critics say it must be revamped to allow greater flexibility for public employees. But
its proponents still maintain
that the law must exist to deter
strikes by public workers.

Hotr realigtic is n 22 percent wage increase demand
by state
employees?
By A . L. PETERS
THE PLACE
The Civil Service Errployees Association 66th annual convention, Kiamesha Lake.
Power Of
OPINIONS
Frank Gilder, supervising janitor, SUNY at Albany: "I think a 22 percent
wage increase demand is as
realistic as private industry getting the same thing. I h a p pened to sit in on the last
fact-finding t h a t we had, and
charts were brought in galore.
At t h a t time the charts proved
t h a t at t h a t time, and this is
two years ago, we were well
within our rights to ask for 15
percent. This is several years
later now, and the projection has been at least
22 percent. We are entitled to deal in t h a t figure
area. I have my doubts, though, as to whether the
state will comply with t h a t demand."
Dorothy Rabin, senior steno, SUNY at Old Westbury: "I think the figure is
very realistic. It's been a long,
long time since state workers
have gotten raises, and I think
it's time to equalize the salaries of state workers in terms
of what workers make in private industry and what the cost
of living is now. I hope the
state understands that. I think
we're in for a fight, but I think
they realize t h a t we mean it
and t h a t they will go along with it. If they don't
buy the package, perhaps they will accept an increase. I think a minimum of $2,400 a year is
essential."
Roy Da vies. Mental Hygiene therapy aide: "In
my opinion, I think it's very
unrealistic. I don't believe all
state employees should get a n
across-the-board 22 percent increase. If there were a maximum of 22 percent, t h a t would
be okay. If a person is making $40,000 a year and gets a
raise like that, that's one hell
of a lot more t h a n 22 percent
of, say, $10,000 a year. I still
feel we're getting shafted on
it. I don't think the state will go for it anyway.
They've been giving the state employee the shaft
for so long, it's Just a habit with them."
Louis Manellino, foreman, state Dept. of Ti-ans,
portation: "In my opinion it's
realistic enough, because in the
past two years, state employees
have not gotten any kind of
raise. The cost of living has
gone up substantially in the
last few years and I think state
workers deserve a raise, the way
the economy is today with high
inflation. Food prices have gone
up and we're still at the same
salary levels t h a t we were two
years ago. We, of all people, should get at least
22 percent increase this year."
Marie DuPont, Mental Hygiene therapy aide: "It's
been at least two years since
we had a raise and with the
cost of living and everything^ I
think it's time t h a t we had a
raise. Everything else has gone
up but our salaries. I think
the 22 percent figure is realistic, if we could get that much.
We would settle for less if we
had to. I think we'd be doing
well if we got 12 percent from
the state. It would be better
than what we're getting right now."
Robert
Green,
Mental Hygiene therapy aide:
"I think t h a t figure is a good
proposition to put to the board,
I don't beheve it will go
through. I n my mind, I think
that somewhere along the line
negotiations have already been
made and t h a t we're wasting
our time. I think the state
and the board have already
made these agreements ahead
of time. So all this talk is for
nothing. We'll never get t h a t

which the vice presidency is eliminated from the election process

Under the 25th Amendment to

vacancy in the vice presidency,
the President nominates a person to serve in t h a t office, subject to the approval of a majority of both Houses of Congress. This procedure has already
been followed twice.
First was the nomination of
Ford for the Vice Presidency by

Congress, before acting on the
nominations, conducted extensive

Leonard Sloane, who writes a
personal finance column for The
New York Times, has made a
point of urging peop. to use
the power of attorney form for
a number of basic helps. The
power of attorney is an instrument t h a t gives someone or several people the right to act for
you if you are unable or unwilling to do so yourself. The
power may be limited for a single
purpose only, like getting into
your .safe deposit box, or it can
allow someone to draw checks,
make bank withdrawals, and
other things. It allows someone
to act as if he were you in a
legal situation.
The instrument is particularly
important if you are going into
a hospital or a nursing horre or
if you are suffering from any
lengthy illness or going on a
long trip. Of course, the person
to whom you give a power of
attorney should be of sound
judgment and someone you can
trust. It is usually given to a
member of your family, a lawyer, an accountant or banker.
Forms are available at most legal
stationery stores.

Work Performance And Examinations Committee Report
The following is the Special Work
Performance Ratings and Examinations
committee report submitted at the CSEA
annual convention last month. CThairman is Samuel Grossfield, of Rochester
chapter, and committee members are
A1 Castaldi, William Gagnon, Carl Garrand, George Kawas, Marjorie Reeves,
Llyod Tipton and Robert Weinbloom.
On July 15, 1976, this Committee met
in Albany to discuss the controversial
issues confronting this Committee such
as continuous recruitment, post rating
review, probation on promotion, provisional appointments plus various regulations of the Work Performance Rating Program. After establishing an
agenda, the Obmmittee proceeded to
meet with Civil Service Representatives
of the Personnel Services Division and
the Staffing and Examination Division. This meeting took place on August 10, 1976 at the State Campus.
At prior meetings with the Civil Service Representatives, we protested the
interfiling of various lists from the
"Continuous Recruitment
Examinations." We requested a final answer to
our request for fully exhausting a list
rather than interfiling froni later examinations. The Civil Service Representative's answer was negative. The
only possible solution is through legislative action or the Civil Service Commission by requesting that Section 57 of
the Civil Service Law be amended.
On our proposal for post rating review, they felt it would slow up promulgation of lists. The only possible solutions are through a contract agreement,
the Civil Service Commission, or legislative action.
CSEA recently lost the court case on
the right of the Civil Service Commission to require succesful completion
of a probationary period for all Intradepartmental promotions without the
right to appeal an "unsatisfactory rating." Since such probatlonarles can be
terminated and returned to their old
position without a hearing, we challenged this as a weapon In the hands
of management to Vet rid of unwanted
employees. The Civil Service Representatives suggested that a possible solution could be reached by either leglslalatlve action or through a contractual
agreement. We shall follow up In both
directions.
The reason they advanced why provisionals remained so long without an
examination being held was due to a
lack of staff. They stated that without
additional staff we could expect no
Improvements In this regard. The message also came across that the E>epartment of Civil Service places no restriction on the selection by agencies of
provisional and temporaries. This means
that administrative lists for provisional
appointments are meaningless. We shall
discuss this further at future meetings.
Although previous examinations had
different "weights" for different questions, this Is no longer true. Civil Service has changed its policy so that all
questions now carry equal credit.
We registered a complaint about the
practice of giving multiple titled promotional examinations on the same
day. Civil Service defended Its practice
on the grounds that the candidate is
given extra time when taking several
examinations. Also, the Civil Service
Department stated that it is more economical to hold several examinations
on the same day.
We also reminded the Department of
Civil Service of long standing complaints about examination conditions
for the typing and stenographic examinations. They claimed that they have
corrected some of the conditions and
will review the situation.
Our position on oral examinations
has been, historically, for their elimination on grounds of too much subjectivity. too much possibility of bias, the
lack of anonymity and the lack of
validity. This will be part of the agenda for the next meeting.
We have previously questioned why
the Employment Service Counselors were
declared ineligible to take the examination for Vocational Rehabilitation
Counselor and why the Motor Vehicle
License Examiners were disqualified for
the Motor Vehicle Investigators examination. While the Civil Service Department answers indicated the reasons
were lack of required qualifications, it
is our belief that the understaffed Civil
Service Department Is not taking the
time to review thoroughly the qualifications set forth by the agencies.
Regarding our Inquiry as to why a

"Maintenance Helper" with the Long
Island State Park Commission had been
reclassified to the lower title of
"Groundsman," their reply was that a
Job analysis had been made which lead
to the lower classification.
The following topics had been brought
up during our discussions on Work Performance Ratings:
A. We expressed dissatisfaction with
the vague guidelines for satisfactory
and unsatisfactory ratings. Civil Service promised to review these guidelines at the next meeting.
B. We requested the Inclusion of
an employee organization representative on the Performance Ratings
Board. Civil Service will take this
under advisement.
C. We questioned the right of an
agency head to overrule the determination of a Performance Ratings
Board. Our Investigations had uncovered the fact that almost all such
actions by the agency head had been
in favor of management and against
the employee. We are now convinced
that only through the Civil Service
Commission or through Legislative
Action can this power of the agency
head be removed.
D. We requested the Department
of Civil Service to advocate a change
in the penalties against an employee
having an unsatisfactory rating. As
it now reads, these penalties are the
loss of their increment and their
disqualification for promotion for
one year. Civil Service did not go
along with our recommendations
that prior years of excellent service
mitigate the penalties. Again, future
action will have to be taken up
with the Civil Service Commission
or with the Legislature.
This Committee is planning to meet
with the Civil Service Commission very
shortly.
Report by committee on special election procedures is given by chairman Bernard Schmahl, a former president of Tax and Finance

Disposition Of Convention Motions Committee Report
The followiiiK is the Disposition of
Convention Motions committee report
submitted at the CSEA annnal convention last month. Chairman is Edward
Dudek, of SUNY at Buffalo cliapter, and
committee members are Dorothy Goetz,
Terry Dawson, Earl Kilmartin, Stephen
Zarod, Oennaro Fischettl and Clara
FmnkUn.
Our Corrmittee met on May 12, 1976
to comply with a motion made by the
Delegate body at the March, 1976
Convention and met again on September 8, 1976 to finalize our report.
In the interim we were Involved in
a program via telephone and the U.S.
mail services to resolve many of the
motions and the results of our conclusions and the investigations through
the various persons responsible for action on the motions, etc. We have
found the following actions to have
been taken on the motions in order
of their appearance in the minutes
of the last Delegates Meeting:
1. Correction to the minutes of the
1975 Fall Delegate Meeting was amended per motion passed and carried by
the delegate body.
2. The motion read "that the dues
increase be reduced from the recommended $1.00 per payroll period to 50
cents per bi-weekly payroll period. Motion that the dues Increase be reduced
from the recommended $1.00 per payroll period to 50 cents per bl-weekly
payroll period has been implemented to
increase the dues to 50 cents per biweekly pay period effective April 1, 1976.
3. The motion read "that the delegates mandate the Board of Directors
to Implement the five reeommendations
contained In the Treasurer's report dealing with efficiencies and cost reductions." The Board has implemented the
delegates mandate and have appointed
an Ad Hoc Committee of the Board
to Explore Cost Reductions In CSEA.
4. The motion read "that the officers and delegates of this Convention
acknowledge the absence of Mrs. Pauline
Wenzl, and that a message be sent to
her stating her presence Is greatly missed. Also, we send our best wishes
for a speedy recovery which will allow
her to be with us soon again." Letter
was sent to Mrs. Pauline Wenzl acknowledging your request.
5. Report of the Constitution and
By-Laws Con^mittee. Motions made regarding the changes in the report of
the Constitution and By-Laws Committee have been referred back to
Mr. Kenneth Cadieux, Chairman of
the CSEA Constitution and By-Laws
Committee and his report will be provided you prior to the October Convention date.
6. The motion read "recommendation
to the general delegate body that affiliation not occur at this time with any
organization." No action was necessary.
7. The motion read "that the Legislative and Political Action Committee
adopt and submit a .bill to the legislature supporting enforcement of the
State safety bill." Mr. Martin Langer,
Chairman of the Legislative and Political Action Committee will submit ills
report on the overall Legislative and
Political Action Committee.
7b. The motion read "that the Legislative and Political Action Committee
immediately submit a bill to the legislature for passage of the agency shop
bill." Counsel submitted a variety bf
bills on behalf of CSEA and a report
of the legal counsel will be forthcoming.
8. The motion read "that the State
CSEA, Inc., go on record and publicize
In the newspapers that CSEA opposes
the Kinzel Coordinated Escalator Plan
of 1976, and further authorize the
Chairman of the County Division to
send wires to the state legislators advising them of our position, and also
request the Chairman of the State Executive Com.ulttee be granted the same
authority." The Legislative and Political Action Committee has followed
through on the request of the delegate
body.
9. The motion read "that the statewide CETA Committee Immediately assume the responsibility of disseminating pertinent information pertaining to
CETA, and requesting the Legislative
and Political Action Committee to help
seek enforcement of the CETA program
as it was originally. The Chairman of the
CETA Commiittee has advised the Board
of Directors of all meetings and transactions by the CETTA Committee and
officers of the Federal and State govments.
10. The motion read "that along with
our contractual relationship with the
LEADER, we expand our Public Relations into the public media, i.e., television, newspapers, etc., to bring about
a change in the image of CSEA and
the state workers and enhance our position as far as bargaining power with
the State." Change In PJl. Program
has been carried out by Mr. Joseph
Roulier.
11. The motion read "that Counsel be
ordered this week to start the lawsuit
to save the pension funds of the New
York State Employees Retirement System." Legal Counsel has a status report that will be given at the convention. Various litigations have been
implemented on behalf of CSEA. Law
firrr will give a progress report.
1. CSEA supported a safety bill
which had already been Introduced in
the legislature and lobbied on behalf of its passage.
2. An agency shop bill was introduced with the cooperation of other
public employee unions, and at the
present time, we are hopeful that it
might pass before the legislature
adjourns.
3. A lawsuit was commenced and is
still in progress to test the right of
the Comptroller to invest pension
funds In n?.oral obligation bonds.
4. With regard to Item 19 in your
April 6, 1976 memorandum, I believe
that you should advise Bernle Ryan
in conjunction with Marty Langer to
Inform Chapter Presidents to submit legislative proposals to the Legislative and Political Action Committee at least sixty days prior to the
fall convention (approximately August 1, 1976), so that the Committee
can present a program to the Delegates.
5. Item 22 regarding the Increase
in rebates to the Regions will be discussed at the next Constitution and
By-Laws Committee meeting and reported out at the fall meeting.
12. The motion read "that each chapter be Informed as to the salaries, expenses and honorariums of CSEA officers and everyone who works for
CSEA, including field representatives,
and that this report be sent to chap-

Elliott: Citys No. / Priority Is Jobs
Federal
Job Calendar
New York City's new deputy
mayor for economic development assumed office last week
stressing the need to bring back
jobs.
'"ITie name of the game is
Jobs," said the new deputy
mayor, Osborn Elliott, recently.
He left as editor-in-chief of
Newsweek magazine to take the
$l-a-year post for the next 15
months.
"We're talking about some
600,000 Jobs t h a t have left the
city since 1969," Mr. Elliott said.
Mr. Elliott is already chairman
of the Citizens' Committee for
New York, a private group a t tempting to lure businesses to
the city. He replaces Alfred Eisenpreis, who resigned J u n e 30.
In announcing the appointment, Mayor Abraham D. Beame
said the post has been elevated
to deputy mayor status because
econonr.ic development is "our
number one priority."
Mr. Elliott said h e is convinced
City Hall now places the creation
of jobs "at the very top of its
list of priorities."
He called on all citizens and
institutions of the city to help
in the "great Job h u n t " with the
city and state governments, acting as the "catalyst."
The former reporter-columnist
also said the city's new economic
recovery plan "indicates the Importance the city now attaches
to the matter of economic development."
Detailed announcements and applications may b e obtained by
visiting the federal job information center of the U.S. Civil Service
Commission, N e w York C i t y Region, a t 26 Federal Plata, M a n h a t t a n ;

Prevent cavities!
It's too bad that science can't invent a magic lollipop which
would prevent cavities and tooth decay simply by eating it.
It'll never happen.
Dental research has come a long way in the past quarter
century, but the same old rules still apply. Good daily dental
care, a healthy diet and regular visits to a dentist.
Sure —dental care can be expensive, and too many people
wait to visit their dentist until they're having trouble.
That's where we come in. Our dental plans put the emphasis on prevention —not only for children, but for the entire
family.
A sound dental plan —at a reasonable price — is a big step toward family
health s e c u r i t y . If your e m p l o y e e
group is even considering a dental
plan, talk to the Blues. We just might
have the answer for you. After all —
we're the ones who invented pre-paid

Civil Service Employees Assn. retirees h a d their first
double session meeting of delegates at the Concord Hotel
convention on Oct. 12. Approximately 60 retiree delegates
participated in the morning and afternoon sessions, with
statewide retirees committee chairman Nellie Davis presiding.
High on the agenda were discussions of the 1977 legislative program and the enlarging of the statewide c o m m i t tee to provide better representation of retiree chapters w i t h in each of the six CSEA regions.
Spealters included Theodore Wenzl, CSEA president,
who reaffirmed his full support of the Association's retiree
branch. He also endorsed expanding the retirees committee .
membership to the m a x i m u m permitted by the state c o n stitution.
CSEA attorney J a m e s Featherstonhaugh answered m a n y
questions concerning legislation to be introduced this year
for retirees, with interest centering mainly on the supplemental cost-of-living increase which will be drafted in the
near future.
Martin Langer, c h a i r m a n of CSEA's statewide legislative
and political action committee, described in detail the- strategy pursued in this election year by his committee and t h e
political action committees of the six regions.
As for retiree legislation to be introduced, both Mr.
Featherstonhaugh, CSEA's chief lobbyist, and Mr, Langer
stressed the necessity of Iceeping retiree legislation reasonable and "realistic," and assured the retiree delegates t h a t
t h e y would give their full support to the program. There
was an underlying feeling of cautious optimism about
achieving the gains hoped for in this coming year.
Governor Carey h a s h i n t e d that h e and his negotiators
might be more amenable to some kind of c o s t - o f - l i v i n g
adjustment this year t h a n they were last year. In view
of this possibility—and that is all it now is—some of our
retiree leaders feel a bit encouraged. It seems that our retirees c a n fare no better t h a n the union fares.
The retirees c o m m i t t e e and retiree chapter presidents
will meet jointly at CSEA Headquarters in Albany Nov. 16
to work out the specifics of the bills to be introduced in the
1977 Legislature.

WELFARE DEFICIT SOARS
Gov. Hugh L. Carey has estimated that the state will face a
welfare deficit of $100 million or more this year and said he may
call a special session of the legislature to deal with the problem. The
Governor said that newly discovered welfare—cost overruns should
shove the amount as high as $175 million, depending on the rate of
employment for the balance of this year. At a recent meeting of
the New York State Assn. of Counties, a resolution urging the
Governor to call such a special legislative session was pressed. The
Governor had previously ignored similar calls from other groups.
The newly projected deficit in the welfare sector could cause additional cutbacks in other areas of the state's $11 billion budget. Several counties have moved to freeze welfare expenses this year. Sources
note that at the present time, about 132,000 persons receive some
form of welfare assistance; the state's previously projected figure
w£is approximately 100,000 statewide.

The Department of Education will increase the number of investigators charged with looking into complaints of misconduct
among the state's 450,000 licensed professionals. The current staff
of about 40 investigators will be doubled, said James Blendell, head
of the Department's Bureau of Business Management Services. This
bureau regulates the conduct of about 35 professions including engineers, doctors, dentists, accountants, social workers, chiropractors,
architects, nurses, psychologists and nurses, among others. It services
approxin:ately 3,000 complaints annually.

Gov. Hugh L. Carey is preparing an executive order placing new
restrictions on outside employment by full time state workers. The
order will also provide for new fiscal disclosure requirements. The
order will chiefly affect members of the legal profession who are
full-time state workers but who also maintain outside practices.
The Governor's Board of Public Disclousre is also said to be preparing
legislation to expand the freeze on outside employment by members
of the State Law Department, the Department of Audit and Control,
the State Department of Education, the State University and the
office of the Lieutenant Governor.

EX-LOTTERY H E A D SUES
Jerry Bruno, former state lottery director, has sued the New
York Daily News for $7.3 million, claiming he had been "effectively
destroyed" by stories appearing in that tabloid. Mr. Bruno has alleged that the stories, which purported that the public was being
cheated in a variety of ways by which the lottery was run, forced Gov.
Hugh L. Carey to fire him. He also claims that the stories have
prevented him from finding other employment after he was fired
last Nov. 27. Mr. Bruno, 50, was a former advance man for the late
Robert Kennedy and Wisconsin's William Proxmire. The lottery,
recently reactivated, was shut down in October of last year and Is
now headed by John D. Quinn. Mr. Bruno alleged in a statement
covering his seven-month stewardship of the lottery that he was
aware of defects in the system and was working to correct them.
A Republican-sponsored survey released recently has criticized
state efforts to promote New York State as a desirable place for
industry and business. State Commerce Commissioner John Dyson
said the report was "balanced and helpful" but added that many
of the problems it cites are the result of 16 years of GOP state
administration. He also noted that many of these problems have
been addressed in the 10 months he has served as head of the
Department. The report, "Promoting Economic Development: Rebuilding the Empire Ima?e," is a survey of business and industrial
promotion efforts in the states. It concludes that there has been a
failure to capitalize on the positive aspects of New York State's
potential for trade and industry. The report, citing these aspects,
notes the availability of open land, large cultural endowments, a
good pool of labor, good transportation nets and excellent university
and research facilities around the state. It was prepared at the
direction of Senate Majority Leader Warren Anderson (R-Binghamton) by the Senate Research Task Force.

CSEA STRENGTH
IN U N I T Y
MEMBERSHIP D R I V E
JUNE 1-NOVEMBER 3 0
Never in the history of our union has it been so
vital to stick together — grow together and share the
load to keep us strong. In these tough times, the
greater the percentage of mennbership of any county
unit or chapter, the greater the strength at the bargaining table. The greater the percentage of state
ennployees 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 members. 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.
O N E (Member) W I L L G E T
Y O U 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 members signed
up before 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.
C H A P T E R OR UNIT P R E S I D E N T
HAS C O N V E N I E N T S I G N - U P
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 —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 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 S H A R E T H E 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 ^ t o
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.
