M H Task Force To Oppose
Facility Closings Is Formed
ALBANY—Representatives of Civil Service Employees Assn. chapters from the state's
Mental Hygiene facilities have adopted a policy that opposes proposed phase-out of its
mental hospitals.
Approximately 50 representatives, meeting last week in Syracuse, adopted a policy
statement reading: "We are
against . . . deinstitutionalization
as it is presently being conducted by the Department of Mental
Hygiene because it amounts to
nothing more than the dumping
of large numbers of patients
from psychiatric facilities Into
the community without regard
to either their welfare or the
welfare of the employees involved."
This statement mirrored the
feelings of the CSEA's ad hoc
committee on the Future of Mental Hygiene, which made a presentation on the plia-nned phaseout before the representatives.
As a further reflection of its
concern about the proposed
closings or consolidations of state
facilities, the union has formed
a Task Force on Deinstitutionalization, chaired by CSEA executive vice-president William McGowan.
The tJask force is researching
the cost of state versus county
or private mental health care.
It is also comparing the New
York State plan with the deinstitutionalization experience in
other states, investigating the
problems of local governments
in taking over Mential Hygiene
and welfare responsibilities, and
distributing its findings to officials of local governments, as
well as to CSEA members
throughout the state.
To help get the infonmation it
needs, the task force has sent a
questionnaire to all CSEA Mental Hygiene chapter presidents.
It asks for statistics on staffpatient ratios at their institutions and other information. The
task force has recommended that
the chapter presidents form
committees of CSEA members at
their institutions to help gather
the necessary information.

The post has been vacant since
Sept. 24 when the former director, James Porde, submitted his

The department added, "The
management of Creedmoor Psychiatric Center will be obligated

The DMH decision fully supported the long investigative
work perfonned by Dorothy
King, chapter first vice-president.
Ms. King discovered that department heads were telling employees >hat they could not be

However, no serious effort to enforce the civil service law overtime requirements were made.
At that point, the CSEA filed the
suit.
The CSEA will soon meet with
the Creedmoor administration to
establish a procedure for employees to submit claims for due
overtime.
"We will insist that the CSEA
be allowed to schedule meetings
with the employees of each unit

BRCX>KLYN—The Downstate Medical Center chapter, Civil Service Employees Assn.,
has won a grievance which will affect about 400 nursing dei>artment employees, guaranteeing them overtime pay for additional weekend work.
Traditionally, nurses and nurses' aides at Downstate had every other weekend off.
The nursing department, In Jianuary, unilaterally changed this
schedule and forced the employees to work three, and in
some cases four, weekends a
month.
When Robert Keeler, CSEA
DMC chapter president, discovered this change, he Immediately filed a contract grievance.
It stated that the nursing department made the schedule
changes without first negotiating
with the CSEA, and that the
changes were made to avoid
making overtime payments.
When the grievance was seen
by the State Office of Employee
Relations, OER directed the
State University of New York to
pay their employees overtime for
the additional weekend work.
Bart Briar, CSEA field representative, commented: "For the
first time, the dean of the college of nursing and her supervisors recognized that they had
to abide by the union contract.
"The nursing department had
conducted a literal reign of terror on the nurses and nursing
aides. CSEA has put a stop to
this practice," he added.
Robert Keeler has scheduled a
membership meeting for the
nursing department on Wednesday, Dec. 1, at 4 p.m., to explain
the decision. A list of overtime
work by the nursing department
employees will be provided so
that they can confirm their
claims.

After parading in front of the

than an hour, Suffolk Edticatlonal chapter CSEA members
attended the board meeting. A
union official warned that the
union and the board "are on a
collision course."
John Cuneo, CSEA represenUatlve and negotiator, told the
board that the CSEA members
"have gone long enough without
a contract.
"We stai'ted negotiations in
June," he said, "and have had
only three sessions lasting less
than a total hour's time since
then. You are forcing us down
the path to lan impasse."
Walter Weeks, president of the
Suffolk Educational chapter, told
the school board "last year it
cost an employee $2 to come to
work. This year that cost has
doubled. For the first time in
our many negotiations you have
withheld our increments. You
are on a collision course with
the CSEA."

ranged from $9.20 to $207.20 and
which totialed $1,130.41.
At a unit meeting earlier this
year, an employee complained
that the airport personnel were
not receiving second and thirdshift differential pay called for
in the current CSEA-Broome
contract. Under a former contract, permanently assigned employees did not receive the pay.
Earlier this yeiar, however, the
county negotiating team agreed,
as part of a final contract settlement, not only to increase the
amount of the differential pay
but also to extend it to all employees.
However, the seven did not receive their differential which is
pegged at 22 cents an hour for
second-shift workers 'and at 27
cent^ an hour for workers on
the third shift.
Unit president William McMann referred the matter to
steward James Lucas, at t h a t
time also second vice-president
of the unit.
Mr. Lucas enlisted the aid of
a CSEA attorney who brought
the issue to the attention of an
assistant Broome County a t t o r ney. The latter said t h a t there
had apparently been some confusion on the proper application
of the differential provision.
The county attorney then directed the Broome fiscal a u t h orities to "perform the computations necessary to determine
the amount owed in each case
and to take steps to make payment for time already worked.
Additionally." the attorney added. "the s h i f t differential should
continue to be paid to such employees during the remainder of
the contract term, assuming they
continue to work other t h a n the
first shift."

Suspend Thruway Chapter
Head; AFSCME Tie Alleged
ALBANY—Vito Dandreano, of Amsterdam, president of the Albany Division Civil
Service Employees Assn. chapter of the State Thruway Authority and chairman of the
CSEA Thruway negotiating committee, has been suspended from membership in CSEA.
Mr. Dandreano was relieved of all CSEA duties and responsibilities, pending results
of an official hearing into allegations that he has been secretly
collaborating with a rival labor
union.
CSEA president Theodore C.
Wenzl notified Mx*. Dandreano of
his suspension, which was effective Nov. 17, by registered mail.
Official chiarges and specifications were forwarded to Mr.
Dandreano within 10 days of the
suspension. A tentative hearing
date has been scheduled for
Monday. Nov. 29. at CSEA
Headquarters in Albany to hear
testimony on the charges to be
filed.
A hearing committee, appointed by Dr. Wenzl, will be chaired
by Nicholas Puzziferri, of Pearl
River. Other CSEA members
named to the committee are
Timothy Mclnerney, of Troy,
Thomas McDonough, of Albany,
Salvatore Mogavero, of Angola,
and Eleanor Percy, of Watertown.
The suspension of Mr. D a n dreano comes (at a crucial point
in contract negotiations with the
Thruway Authority. Negotiations
have been intense for the past
several months in an effort to
achieve a successor agreement to
the contract which expired J u n e
30. The T h i u w a y had presented
what it termed la final offer recently, but that proposal was rejected by CSEA Thruway m e m bers in a series of CSEA chapter
meetin«s across the state. However, a t Leader presstime, it was
learned t h a t the Thruway Authority has expressed interest in
meeting immediately with the
CSEA negotiiators to discuss a
possible new offer. A tentative
meeting has been pix>posed for
this weelc, and the CSEA's negotiating committee met in Albany
Nov. 23 relative to the ongoing
negotiations situation.
Although f o r m a l
charges
against Mr. Dandi-eano were still
being drawn up at presstime, it
was lalleged that, while serving

Skyrocketing
Cost Increases Of Health Care
GREENVALE—Irving Flaumenbaum, president of the Nassau County chapter, Civil
Service Employees Assn., last week blamed sharply increased health care costs "on a virtual
monopoly of the health industry by doctors and hospitals."
Mr. Flaumenbaum, a CSEA vice-president and also leader of the union's Long Island
Region I, then called for "a coordinated effort by labor, m a n agement, government, t h e insurance industry and the medical
profession to put a n end to t h e
abuses Inherent in our system of
health care."
The union executive made his
comments at a n all-day conference at the C.W. Post College
c^pus
sponsored by Group
Health, Inc.. a health maintenance Insurance firm. I t was a t tended by more t h a n 100 government, labor business and civic
leaders.
Mr. Flaumenbaum, who has
been a pharmacist for 45 years,
also commented on the large
amounts of money being f u n neled Into the Medicare programs. This, he claimed, "has
made it possible for the medical
profession to write their own
blank check because the establishment of fees is based on the
'reasonable a n d customary' prices
established by the medical pro-
fession.
" W h a t other service in the
United States do we pay for on
a reasonable and customary
basis?" he 'asked. "For example,
if you would pay your auto repaliman based on what he felt
was reasonable a n d customary,
you know d a m n well his charges
would be double or triple what
he normally charges."
Mr.
Flaumenbaum
added:
"People like myself are partially
to blame for t h e problem t h a t
we find ourselves faced with today.
"I say t h a t because those of
us who have, over the years,
fought the employers to provide
and pay for health insurance,
together with the substantial
governmental financing of health
expenditure, have for all intents
and purposes made the health
industry a seller's market."
He sEdd also t h a t he was "tired

OPINIONS
Lola West, psychologists' assist/ant: "I think that
the legislature is very aware of
the fact that unions can either
help them in their elections or
not, and I feel that they do
pay attention to the voters'
feelings. I think the answer to
the question wouW be yes, by
virtue of the fact that the
^^^^^^
representatives that the CSEA
^fe
endorsed are aware that remm
search was done on their
past records. I also feel that
they are aware that their voting records will be
closely scrutinized during the next two years. If
they continue to vote favorably, then I'm sure
they will be endorsed again."
Ronn A. ben Aaman, recreational therapist: "If
these elected officials firmly
believe that state workers have
suffered difficult financial burdens for the past two years,
then I would hope that they
would try to pass a minimum
of a 15 percent wage Increase
for one year. I feel that the
union has made a positive move
In becoming directly Involved
with the political process In
New York State. And by doing
this, political aspirants will have to take Into
consideration the needs of one of the most neglected segments of the American labor force,
the civil service worker."
Beatrice Overton, physical therapist: "Yes, I do
feel public employees will benefit by the unions' political activities. By being in touch with
the CSEA, the legislature will
be informed of the problems we
have and be better able to serve
them. I haven't worked in the
CSEA but I've observed the
people who do work in the
union and I'm Impressed. They
deal with problems swiftly, they
relate very well with the
people, land if they relate well to us, then they
must relate well to the legislature."
Irene Hlllis, physical therapist: "I feel that this
Is the first time the CSEA has
supported candidates for office
in a comprehensive and Intelligent way. They were chosen
from their past voting records
and a lot of work went Into
probing their past records. I
feel that with the support of
the CSEA, the legislature will
do a better Job of representing
public employees. Hopefully,
one benefit will be job security."
Arthur Fogel, psychologist: "Yes, I believe that
the public employee will benefit greatly from the unions' activities. and they will help us
present our point of view to the
politicians who create the laws
that govern our jobs and functions. I feel it's more than
beneficial to have input into
the persons we elect Right now
the union is negotiating a 22
percent raise. We can just wait
for the results."
Patrick
Fraser,
occupational therapist: "Absolutely. The union went to a
great deal of time and trouble
considering
the
candidates.
They were selected upon their
past performance, their objectivity and their ability. I cannot
Im'agine these legislators being
less than responsive to the

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR
States
Taylor Law Works-But
Editor. The Leader:
Once again I read an article
on the Taylor Law, "Taylor Law
Strike Penalties: Inconsistencies
Rock Some Union Boats" by Jane
Bernstein In the Nov. 5 Leader.
When are we going to realize
that as long as there are governments and civil service employees there are going to be laws
like the Taylor Law? The people
who think up these laws don't
write and pass them for our
benefit but as a means to punish
us if we should go on strike.
So how long Is It going to take
us before we learn that no matter how much we lobby in the
legislature or talk at the bargaining table the Taylor Law
will remain the Taylqr Law?
In the next to the last paragraph of Ms. Bernstein's article,
the question is asked, "Does the
Taylor Law work?" When we
take a vote In my chapter to
strike or not, many members vote
"no" because they think of the
consequences they face after the
strike Is over. As a result we settle for little or no increases in
pay and fringe benefits. And If
For The
by some chance we do strike, the
penalties outweigh the benefits.
So, does the Taylor Law work?
The answer Is "YES" . . . for the
bureaucrats.
The question now Is "What
can we do about the Taylor
Law?" The answer does not lie
In comparing the penalties of
one group of employees with
those of another's and then crying about It. The answer does
not He in pleading for alteration or abolition of the Taylor
Law. The answer lies In this:
when we go out on strike we do
not return to our jobs until wo
are guaranteed amnesty from the
Taylor Law. It's that simple. No
amnesty, no work.
When we adopt this attitude,
no longer will we have to worry
about being tossed In jail, losing
two days pay for every day on
strike, being fined or any other
penalty. Our leaders have been

What can you do now to save
on probate costs? An article In
"Retirement Living" suggests
the following:
1. Prepare a detailed record of
family Information. Where records are kept; where there are
bank accounts; Insunance policy; funeral and burial arrangements; Income tax records for
the past three years; Social Security data; military service
records; birth and marriage certificates; your will land anything
else that might be needed. Don't
sign two wills, but indicate on
a copy where the original is.
2. Inventory what you own:
household goods, securities, automobile, etc.
3. Tell your family where your
records are kept and tell them
to ne«:otiate In advance any lawyers' fees.
4. Tell your heirs what the
probate process is like.
Most experience indicates that
it takes six months to two years
to settle an estate; but the actual
work for a lawyer is 60-75 hours.

FRIDAY, NOVKMBKR 26, 1976
At Creedmoor
n j i H E other day we were chatting with Raymond Cassidy,
1. that witty and agreeable man wlio heads up the Westchester County chapter of the Civil Service Employees Assn.
The talk turned to negotiations that are ongoing in
the county between a CSEA element and a municipality.
"You would simply not believe these people," said Mr.
Cassidy, in reference to the negotiators for the municipality.
"You just simply cannot believe these people are the way
that they are."
Mr. Cassidy was talking about the obdurate, unreasonable attitude taken by the municipality's negotiating team.
And, yes, the way he described their position, it seemed to
us that the municipality's negotiating team was somewhere
to the right of Louis XIV's labor-management policies,
Now, however, we have our own not-to-be-believed
situation and we have found it not too many miles from Mr.
Cassidy's Westchester County.
It is at the Creedmoor Psychiatric Center, in Queens
Village, on Long Island.
Just last week, the CSEA won a grievance in third-step
proceedings against the CPC administration. The issue?
That Creedmoor authorities have not paid overtime to an
estimated 2,000 ward and food service employees. For how
long? Since Dec. 19, 1975.
OK. Administrative slips occur. Oversights happen.
Paperwork gets lost. OK.
But none of the above happened at the sprawling facility. The CSEA chapter there alleged, and proved, that administrators systematically withheld overtime pay from its
employees. They told them they couldn't collect it.
The third-step grievance was adjudicated by the Department of Mental Hygiene after efforts to resolve the
problem at the Creedmoor level were sluffed off by administrators there. The decision is worth repeating. It reads,
in part, "on a regular and recurring basis, the management
of Creedmoor Psychiatric Center failed to conform to the
provisions of the civil service law and the budget director's
overtime rules and regulations . . . in addition, time and
attendance records in the units cited above were not accurately stated and do not accurately reflect overtime worked
by employees."
If there are heroes in this story, they are Creedmoor
CSEA chapter leader Terry Dawson, chapter first vice-president Dorothy King, and CSEA field representative Bart Briar.
They explored the issue, pushed it to adjudication and won
a victory for Creedmoor employees.
But another issue nags us. Do public employers think
their employees dunces? Not-too-bright types who cannot
add? A bunch of patsys to be burgled and exploited? We
do not pretend to know what the Creedmoor settlement on
overtime will cost the state and the taxpayers, some of whom
are the CSEAers involved.
We do know that the whole distasteful imbroglio
would not have happened had the Creedmoor administration
been bright enough to avoid it.
Mr. Briar noted that the DMH failed to consider one
issue raised by the CSEA. He said that some unit chiefs
kept separate, hidden overtime rosters of the hours worked
by Creedmoor employees and then destroyed them when
the controversy over overtime pay surfaced.
The union asked that DMH check this out and, if true,
level disciplinary charges against unit chiefs involved.
This should be done.
Just who do these people think they are?
C.O'N.
a raucous one. Some of the
signs of conflict are already
emerging.
Fiscal affairs will once again
dominate the session. The first
shot will be fired soon, when
Assemblyman George Cincotta,
chairman of the Assembly Banking Committee, opens hearings
on charges that a number of
major New York City banks precipitated the fiscal crisis in the
City by dumping over $2 billion
of City bonds and notes on the
market, with full knowledge of
the city's precarious fiscal condition.
Dumping Alleged
These acts of dumping, it is
alleged, not only victmized thousands of innocent Investors in
City securities, but also made
it impossible for the City to float
other securities, because City securities had become a drug on
the market.
Information about the alleged
dumping was first made public
by Queens Congressman Benjamin Rosenthal, who is chairman
of a House of Representatives
Subcommittee having jurisdiction over bank regulation.
Assemblyman Cincotta proposes to pursue the investigation
further and has indicated that
he will subpoena bank records
in an effort to pin down the
facts. In the meanwhile, there
is pending in the federal court
in Manhattan a class action suit
against the banks by those who
feel they were victimized by the
actions of the banks and brokerage houses.
To add fuel to the fire, early
in the year, the Securities and
Exchange Commission is expected
to issue its report on the marketing of City securities. Both
Mayor Abraham D. Beame and
City Comptroller Harrison J.
Goldin testified under subpoena
at closed hearings held by the
Commission.
The Cincotta hearings and the
SEC report are likely to prove
embarrassing to a substantial
number of present and former
City officials who face the risk
of findings that they were engaged in the marketing of City
securities with the knowledge
that the City would be in no
position to meet its obligations
when due.
Juvenile Delinquency
On another front, the Legislature will be faced with problems
about handling juvenile delinquents who have taken to robbing and mugging of the elderly.
The critical issue revolves about
Ronald Timmons, who jumped
bail of $500 after being arrested on charges of beating and
robbing an 82-year-old woman.
The bail was set low because the
judge was not aware of the fact
that while still a juvenile, he had
murdered a 92-year-old man during a robbery.
Senator Ralph J. Marino, who
is chairman of the Joint Legislative Criminal Justice Committee. disclosed the facts about
Timmons' juvenile record, and
is prepared to introduce legislation which would make sealed
Juvenile records available to
criminal court judges. This legislation may invoke sharp reaction from knee-jerk liberals,
who have thrown a cloak of
secrecy over juvenile delinquents
and their juvenile crimes.
It seems highly likely that
some liberal members of the
Legislature will go along with the

Article
78 Cases
Petitioner commenced an Article 78 proceeding to compel the Nassau County Civil Service Commission to grant
her veteran's preference credits on a civil service examination. The Nassau County Supreme Court ordered the Civil
Service Commission to grant petitioner her veteran's preference for placement on an eligible list for Probation Supervisor I. The record indicates that petitioner employee failed
to apply for the veteran's preference until after the eligible
list was established on Jan. 2, 1975.
«
*
•
IN REVERSING the Nassau County Supreme Court, the
Appellate Division, Second Department, stated that Section
85.3 of the Civil Service Law requires an applicant to apply
for additional credits between the date of his application
for the examination and the date of the establishment of
the resulting eligible list. The employee failed to make the
application during that period. Subsequent to the establishment of the list, certification of the names from the list
was withdrawn pending the outcome of a court action related to this examination. The list was not thereby invalidated, and the employee made application at a point in
time which was too late under the statute to obtain the
requested veteran's credits. In the Matter of Geyer v. Nassau County Civil Service Commission, 51 A.D. 2d 571 (19).
«
*
THE BOARD OF TRUSTEES of the Village of Port Chester conducted an Article 78 proceeding, after which a determination was made which dismissed the petitioner from
his position as a village police officer. The police officer
appealed and the Appellate Court reversed, directing that
the Board of Trustees reinstate the employee to his position
with accrued salary and benefits. It appeared from the record that the police officer had served for some 13 years
as an exemplary employee, and t h a t during a period of
approximately six months prior to the subject charges, his
behaviour showed a. marked change. The court pointed
out that while proceedings might have been warranted under
Sections 72 and 73 of the Civil Service Law pertaining to
disability of an employee, the instant proceedings in the
nature of a disciplinary action were not warranted. In the
Matter of Penebre v. Dzaluk, 51 A.D. 2d 574 (26).

AN EMPLOYEE who was unlawfully discharged from his
civil service position commenced an Article 78 proceeding
in an effort to recover money damages from the New York
State Civil Service Commission. The court, at Special Term,
dismissed the Article 78 proceeding on the grounds that It
was the improper form in which to pursue the recovery of
monetary damages when the right to reinstatement had
already been judicially determined in a prior Article 78
proceeding. The Appellate Division, Fourth Department, a f firmed the dismissal of the Article 78 proceeding to recover
money damages, although on a different ground from that

date. The CPLR provides that
the damages granted to a petitioner In an Article 78 proceeding must be incidental to the
primary relief sought by the petitioner. While this language
limits the recovery of damages
in a speci'al proceeding to those
demanded in the pi-oceedlng
where the primary relief is
sought, the language Is not to
be construed as a waiver of
damages if the petitioner elects
not to pursue them at the time
of his original Article 78 proceeding.

Volkswagen's done it ogam.
They've made fuel-in|ection standard equipment on the 1977 Rabbit.
And that means faster acceleration, easier starts and a cleaner running
engine.
Fuel-in|ection will also make the Rabbit cheaper to drive.
Since it doesn't need a catalytic converter* anymore, you'll be able to use the
most economical grade of gas. So come on into our showroom and take a look at our new fuelinjected Rabbit. And while you're there, we can tell you about the

Marino proposal. One straw in
the wind is that Criminal Court
Judge Benjamin Altman, who
had been a reform Democratic
Assemblyman, recommended a
procedure similar to the one proposed by Senator Marino In a
letter published in the New York
Law Journal about two months
before the Tlmmons case hit
the papers.
Also in the criminal justice
area. Assemblyman Stanley Pink,
Chairman of the Assembly Committee on Codes, is planning to
introduce legislation to curb the
practice of some prosecutors who
leak to the press information
gathered in the course of grand
jury proceedings. Shortly before
the end of the last session. Pink
made public an exhaustive study
of abuse of the grand jury system by prosecutors. It was then
too late to take any action on
the Fink committee recommendations.
As the date for the session
opening draws nearer, additional items will come to the fore,
all of which, when added together, should make for a long
and acrimonious legislative year.

Joint State-CSEA Layoff Unit Report
The following is the report submitted
by CSEA members on the Joint StateCSEA Layoff Unit Committee. Members are Victor Pesci, Nicholas Cimino,
James Currier, Jon Schermerhom, John
Clark, William L. Blom, Thomas M.
Coyle, Paul Burch and John Conoby.
The Joint State-CSEA Layoff Unit
Committee has continued to meet on
five separate occasions since we reported to you at the March 1976 Special
Delegate Meeting.
At each of these meetings, discussion continued on procedural changes
(some requiring legislation) which would
treat employees scheduled for lay-off
more equitably and minimize the hardships involved in a geographic change
of work location. As a result of these
discussions some minor
procedural
changes have been accomplished, probably the most important is the Civil
Service Department's "Managed Placement" program for expediting appointments for preferred list eligibles.
The CSEA members of the Committee
strongly recommend to the State Bargaining Unit Negotiating Committees
the following items as a proper reopener under "job security," if said
negotiating committees deem this topic
to have high priority:
1. That CSEA negotiate tenure for
State labor class employees and noncoqipetitive class employees measured
from the first date of permanent appointment to the classified service of
the State.
2. That the dual definition of "veterans" with respect to Section 85
and 86 of the Civil Service Law be
resolved through legislation in accordance with the definition contained
in Section 86.
3. That CSEA negotiate a standard
procedure to be used by all State
agencies upon the reassignment ofpersonnel prior to layoff, wherein
the least senior employee, holding an
abolished title in a given worlc location, be designated as the employee to
geographically relocate, if necessary,
to maintain his position rather than
requiring the most senior employee to
relocate.
4. T h a t State employees affected
by a second layoff, who occupied a
lower grade level position subsequent
to their first layoff and have no
bumping opportunity, be permitted
to retreat to a position formerly held
on a permanent basis regardless of
the salary grade level of such position.
5. Vertical bumping should be per-
mitted, based on seniority all the way
downward through a direct line of
promotional series, and not limited
to only the next lower title.
6. An employee should be allowed
to retreat to the last position held
on a permanent basis in a lower salary grade—not Just to the position
held immediately prior to the position from which he is being displaced or laid off.
7. Employees scheduled for layoff,
who have no vertical bumping rights
by virtue of the positions they hold,
should be permitted to retreat across
jurisdictional classification lines.
8. With reference again to the
contractual agreement pertaining to
the closing of an agency, a facility,
or a division or major department of
an agency or facility, we want a bilateral determination as to the definition of an agency, facility, division or
major department of an agency or
facility.
9. The State provide CSEA with
seniority listings of all employees by
title and employing agency on a semiannual basis.
The CSEA members of this Joint Com-
mittee will be discussing with the State
members of this Committee items numbered 5 through 9 in the above listing
at the meeting scheduled for September 16, 1976.
At our Committee meeting on August
26, 1976, the CSEA members of the
Joint Committee met alone and invited the three Chapter presidents in the
Department of Environmental Conservation to discuss the recommendation
from our Environmental Conservation
membership that a change be made in
the layoff unit composition within En
Con from regional layoff units to statewide layoff unit. This matter is on the
agenda for the Joint Committee meeting on September 16, 1976.
We further reiterate the following
two recommendations which we made In
our report to the Delegates in March
of 1976 and strongly urge that some
action be taken on these items.
A. That Counties and other political subdivisions of the State seek
the provisions of Section 80-a of the
State Civil Service Law for noncompetitive employees in such jurisdictions, and further, seek a similar
tenure provision for labor class em-

ployees a^ recommended for State
labor class employees in Item 1.
B. T h a t State Departmental Representatives on the Statewide Board
of Directors survey their membership as to suggestions on the composition of layoff units and any other
inequities which they feel exist In
the present layoff procedure and
make reports known to this Committee as soon as possible.
ADDENDUM
The following items are the accomplishments of the Joint State-CSEIA
Layoff Committee:
1. Option of an employee to be
placed in a new agency on a title-fortitle basis to serve or not to serve
a probationary period.
2. Terminate "title for title" nonpermanent employees who are serving illegally In the face of preferred
lists.
3. Change a qualification for retreat
to the last year of unsatisfactory
performance in the incumbent's prior
title.
4. Declination of reinstatement to
a lower grade position terminates
eligibility only for counties within
the area.
5. Departments must canvass employees for preferred list location
preference as well as on reassignment.
6. Rapid communication with Civil
Service and OER regarding Information on layoffs, preferred lists, openings, etc.
7. As a result of the October 1.
1976 meeting, the Office of Employee
Relations agreed to our concept concerning items No. 6 and 7 on the first
page of our report. They will go to
the Civil Service attorneys and have
them draft the change. The language
will then be considered by this Committee for final determination. Item
No. 5 Is still under consideration In
order to find an equitable and practical solution.
As a result of the September 16th and
October 1st meetings, at which the proposal by the three Chapter Presidents of
the Department of Environmental Conservation to change the layoff unit composition from regional layoff units to
a Statewide layoff unit was presented
to the State, the State proposed that
it be reduced from 9 regional layoff
units to 2 regional layoff units. This
proposal will be explained to the members of the Environmental Conservation
Chapters for their determination.
This Committee affords CSEA the
opportunity to be the watchdog concerning the Civil Service Law and the
layoff procedure as it relates to our
members.

Q. I am a stadent working this
summer and I don't anticipate
eamin« enougli money to pay
Federal taxes. What can I do to
keep from haying Federal taxes
withheld?
A. If you paid no Federal income tax last year a n d do not
anticipate earning $2,350 or more
this year, you may be eligible
for exemption from Federal income tax
withholding.
You
should complete Form W-4E and
give it to your employer. No
Federal income tax will be withheld from your pay, although
Social Security will be withheld.
Q. I recently placed my mother, who had been living in my
home, in a nursing home where
she receives needed medical care.
Last year I claimed her as a dependent. May I claim her as a
dependent this year?
A. Temporary absences from
your home for reasons of illness,
such as confinement of a dependent in a nursing home, do not
prevent you from claiming the
exemption for dependency. If
your mother qualifies as a dependent by the other tests for
dependency, you may still claim
the $750 exemption on your return. To learn more about the
dependency tests, call your local
IRS office and ask for Publication 501, Your Exemptions and
Exemptions for Dependents, a n d
Publication 503, Child Care and
Disabled Dependent Care.

Q. How long should I keep
records that I used to prepare
tax returns in previous years?
A. T h a t depends on the type
of records you have. Records t h a t
support items of income or deductions should be kept until
the statute of limitations for the
tax return expires. Usually you
may discard these records three
years f r o m the date the return
was filed or two years f r o m the
date the tax was paid, whichever
comes later. You should also retain sales slips, invoices, receipts,
canceled checks and other documents which support records of
income and deductions.
You should keep indefinitely
those records relating to t h e
basis of property. These records
will be useful when you acquire
new or replacement property. For
example, if you buy a house, you
should keep all records about the
property and any improvements
you make. If you later sell the
house you will need these records
to figure your adjusted basis
in the house and the capital
gains tax on any profit you
realize.
You should also keep indefinitely a copy of t a x returns you
have filed because they may be
helpful in filing f u t u r e returns.
For more information, see IRS
Publication 552, Recordkeeping
Requirements a n d a Guide to
Tax Publications, available a t
IRS offices.
Q. In a recent job interview
a company paid me more for
my travel expenses than I actually spent. Do I have to report
the excess amount as income?
A. Yes. The compensation you
receive from a prospective employer for Job interviews is income to you If the amount you
received is greater t h a n the
amount you spent. You must report as income the amount by
which your compensation exceeded your actual expenses.

A recent telephone poll taken by the Gannett News Serylee
indicates that New Yorkers are not enthusiastic about the job done
by Gov. Hugh L. Carey since he has taken office. The surrey of
1,389 persons indicates that 39 percent disapprove of the Governor's
performance, 38 percent approve and 23 percent had no opinion.
The survey, conducted late last month, was taken by Research Analysis Corp. of New York City. Governor Carey's greatest support
came from the Metropolitan New York City area. There, 41 percent
of those questioned approved of the Governor's work whfle 30
percent were unhappy with it. Upstate, however, the ratio was 47 percent diBapiHToving and 33 percent approving. The Governor found
his greatest backing in those describing themselves as liberal,
rather than conservative, and was more popular among men than
women. Former Gov. Nelson A. Rockefeller also did poorly in
midterm polls but managed to win the Governor's seat in three
re-elections.

TAYLOR LAW SUIT
A federal court suit against the Taylor Law, which governs
relations between public sector employee unions and public employers, has been started by the New York Educators Assn. The
suit seeks to eliminate the threat of having dues checkoff privileges
of unions cancelled by the state following such actions as strikes.
The NYEA was organized earlier this year as a challenger to the New
York S t a t e United Teachers. The suit was filed in behalf of the
NYEA's largest local, the Buffalo Teachei-s Federation. The Buffalo
schools were struck by the 3,000-member BPT Sept. 7-24 and charges
against the local were filed by the state Public Employment Relations Board. The charges could lead to a suspension of the local's
automatic checkoff of members' dues and other penalties.

Blue Cross Executive Defends
Firm's Rate Increase Request
MANHATTAN—^Malcolm MacKay, senior vice-president of Blue Cross Blue Shield of
Greater New York, recently defended the health insurance firm's request for increased
rates by saying t h a t there is no alternative consistent with the public interest.
The requested rate increase, for nearly four million community-rated subscribers,
averages 23.5 percent. Bxperience-rated groups will not be a f fected.
Mr. MacKay spoke a t a public
hearing of the S t a t e Insurance
Department.
He explained t h e components
of t h e average 23.5 percent increase as'follows:
Five percent is needed to pny
for new matemlty-related benefits legislated by t h e State, which
miist be provided effective J a n .
1, 1977. Mr. MacKay observed
that, while these a n d other m a n dated benefits m a y be useful,
state lawmakers and the general
public miay not be aware t h a t
they represent a tremendous expense to Insurers.
Payments for current benefits
in 1976 and 1977 account for 13,5
percent of the overall request.
Mr. MacKay noted t h a t the
previous rate increase averaged
only 3.9 percent. He pointed out
t h a t the Insurance Department
assumed a t the time t h a t Blue
Cross payment rates to member
hospitals in the New York area
and benefit costs for subscribers
hospitalized outside t h e area
would remain a t 1975 levels.
These assumptions, on which
1976 rates were determined, have
proved unrealistic beciause: t h e
1976 reimbursement nates for
member hospitals recently approved by the State will result
in an ultimate increase of about
7 percent over 1975 rates, retro-
active to J a n . 1, 1976, a n d payments in 1976 for out-of-area
hospital care will Increase a p proximately 15 percent over 1075
payments.
I n addition, it is anticipated
t h a t the State will approve another 7 percent increase in m e m ber hospital payment rates for
1977 over 1976.
T h e balance of t h e requested
increase, 5 percent, is needed to
restore the legally required minimum reserve. Mr. MacKay expressed concern because t h e reserve h a s been below the statutory requirement for 44 of t h e
past 53 months.

Klein & Legislature Clash
Over Suffolk Pact Seen
HAUPPAUOE—After a ratification vote by Civil Service
Employees Assn. the Suffolk County Legislature authorized
County Executive John V. N. Klein to enter into a twoyear pact with the CSEA.
However, t h e County Executive vetoed the pact. I n t u r n ,
a t Leader presstime, t h e Legislature was expected t o override
t h a t veto.
T h u s the stage is set for a
confrontation between the legislative a n d executive branches in
Suffolk, with the CSEA in t h e
middle. In t h e process a new
chapter In Taylor Law settlement
procedure may be written.
On Nov. 9, CSEA Suffolk
president Jiames Corbin reported
t h a t the 6,500 members of his
chapter had voted to accept t h e
$13.3-milllon package. I t was approved by white-collar workers,
2,306-638 and by blue-collar
workers 859-128.
T h a t afternoon, the legislature
voted 15-2, with one abstention.
to authorize the contract. Moreover, members of the Leglsliature
said a t the time t h a t they were
confident they had the votes to
override Mr. Klein's promised
veto.
Mr. Cort)ln described t h e pact
as "little more t h a n a wage

Increments a n d grants no general pay increase. Besides, there
are miany inequities in this package. I must stress t h a t this was
not a negotiated settlement but

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 security. If your employee
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

On Schenectady Agenda
SCHENECTADY—James Terry, of the state's Employee Retirement System, warned
employees here that a year before their anticipated retirement they should request from
ERS an estimate of benefits under the various options.
Choice of one of the five options should not be made until the estimate is received,

in contract negotiations with the
State.
The state claimed that it
couldn't spare Mr. Bush from
his job in order for him to fulfill
his duties as a member of the
PS&T negotiating team. The
CSEA took the issue to arbitration and an arbitrator ruled In
favor of Mr. Bush and the
OBEA.
Mr. Bush for deciding to take a
stand against the decision by the
state.
"Bob Bush is to be congr^atulated," said Mr. Lattlmer, "It
might have been easier for him
to give up, but he recognized
that the issue at stake was bigger
than any individual. Together
with the CSEA. he elected to
fight the state over the issue of
whether the employer can dictate who can or cannot be on
the employee's team negotiating
against them.
Robert Lattlmer, chairman of
the PS&T negotiating team and
president of CSBA's Western Region VI (Buffalo) complimented
"It's a key issue and It proves
what can be achieved when we
stand up and are counted in
times like that," Mr. LatUmer
said.
he cautioned.
Mr. Terry was one of several
speakers who participated in a
recent mini-workshop for county
employees in the Civil Service
Employees Assn.'s Albany Region
IV. This session was for the
benefit of local government employees in the region's southern
area.
A previous session was held
last September in Westport for
employees of the region's North
Country. A third mini-workshop
is scheduled to be held for local
government employees in the region's mid-area.
Option Plans
Mr. Terry's presentation included a questlon-and-answer
session in which he described the
various options. He pointed out
that Option 0 provides high
benefits, but allows no provision
for survivors, whereas Option 2
offers the lowest monthly benefits for the life of the pensioner,
but provides for continuation at
full payment for the designated
survivor.
There can be no change in
beneficiary under Options 1 or 2.
and documented proof of beneficiary's birth is required under
Options 2 or 3, he explained.
Other points noted by Mr.
Terry are that it is possible to
borrow up to 75 percent of an
employee's contribution prior to
retirement, and that disability is
not recognized after age 60 on
751. He warned agaliist taking
ordinary disability, however, if
application is denied.

McDermott Pleased
Regional president Joseph McDermott, who attended the session, said that he was enthused
that so many members availed
themselves of the opportunity to
learn more about their union
and the benefits of union membership.
The session was chaired by Albany Region IV's counties chairman Charles Luch. Mr. Luch is
also a CSEA director, representing Saratoga County, where he
heads Saratoga Educational Em-
He noted that the session was
held on a Saturday, "when
people could have slept late, but

CSEA STRENGTH
IN UNITY
MEMBERSHIP DRIVE
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 membership of any county
unit or chapter, the greater the strength at the bargaining 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 members. There is
no limit to the number of new members you may sign
lip. 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 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.
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 —and we'll
credit your account with $5.00 for each memtjer
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 Docket 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 p r o v i d e d . services whrch
benefit you In many ways.
So help us share the load by signing up with us.
