WHERE IT'S AT FOR RENSSELAER WORKERS
Pointing to chart that compares median incomes for families of four, Mike Carroll, research analyst
for the Civil Service Employees Assn.'s Capital Region IV, indicates where it's at for Rensselaer County
sheriffs. Checking the figures are, from left, Hudson Valley Community College unit president Richard
Evans, Rensselaer County Infirmary's Joseph Tobin and Sheriffs unit president Brian Baker. Mr. Carroll
made the presentation at a press conference to explain the CSEA position in current negotiations for
employees of the County, the Sheriffs Office, the Hudson Valley Community College and the City of
Troy. He also noted that a welfare recipient in Rensselaer County may receive $7,956 tax free, while the
median blue-collar employee earns $6,469 before taxes. Also participating in the press conference were
County unit president Sue Ernst and CSEA executive vice-president William McGowan.

New Year off to a good start
for the members of its Mental Hygiene chapters by stepping
up efforts to protect their jobs
and Improve working conditions

Some of the top-prlorlty Issues
the CSEA has focused on In the
past few months, and on which
it expects new developments in
the next few weeks. Include:
• HOUSING AND POOD ALLOWANCE' A grievance Is now
in arbitration on behalf of employees who live at, and receive

Getting The NYS Courts Together
Unifying The System
Raises Questions:
Here Are Some Answers
By JANE B. B E R N S T E I N
N August 5, 1976, the New
York State Senate and
Assembly
passed
a
bill,
which, in the coming year,
will have an effect on approximately 9,000 court employees
throughout the state.
O
This new amendment to the
state Judiciary Law calls for a
unified court system, which
means that as of April 1, 1977,
all court employees will be transferred from local payrolls to the
state payroll.
Needless to say, the prospect
has caused great consternation
among court workers now on
municipal and county payrolls.
How will their new titles on the
state level compare with their
old titles? Will there be a change
In salary? What about health
benefits land fringe benefits? The
questions go on and on, and until
this point, the New York State
Office of Court Administration
and the Judicial Conference,
headed by Judge Richard Bartlett, have not been able to answer these questions definitively.
But now, some of the answers
are available. The questions that
remiain unanswered will be studied and addressed during the
coming months, according to
John Wynne, director of personnel for the Office of Court Administration.
To insure that each individual
is graded on the state level accordingly. OCA has employed the
services of Cresap, McCormlck
and Paget, a private consultant
firm which is now conducting a
classification survey. The firm
will examine court jobs across
the state in teims of salary and
title, and how much responsibility and volume of work is involved in each position. A rating
instrument will then be developed which will isolate different
job families with different characteristics and prices.
The first study of this type
took place In 1963 during the
first attempt to unify the New
York State court system. The
•survey went on for three yetars,
with hundreds of appeals from
irate workers claiming unfair
classifications.
The unification did manage to
eliminate by merger several extraneous courts In Nassau County, Including Domestic Relations,
Magistrate's, City Court, Special
Sessions, General Session, and
Municipal Court. Out of the
merger arose what are now the
Family,
Civil
and
Criminal
Courts.
This new survey's completion
is anticipated In November, Mr.
Wynne said.
"We're
not
starting
from
scratch as we did before." he
said. "It took us quite a while to
get it going then.
"There must be consistency In
application and an allowance for
work volume must be made.
When a title Is assigned, It must
b2 in the same pay grade an employee was in before," Mr.
Wynne added.
That is 'an Important aspect
for workers fearful of winding
up with less money on the state
payroll than they were making
on the local level. No salary or
title will be downgraded. The
only changes which will be

Persons on court eligible lists
need not fear Immediate list
t-ermination. The lists will be
used until they expire, unless
they are found to be no longer
appropriate.
Concerning health Insurance
plans, the news may not be encouraging for those who feel their
pl'an is better than the state's.
But as of April 1, all employees
transferring to the state payroll will come under the state
Health Insurance Plan. To help
prepare workers in filing claims,
the Department of Civil Service
Workers who are classified as
provisionals must take civil service examinations to gain permanent status, as they were required to do on the local level.
Exiamlnations will be administered by the OCA board, after
being prepared by the State Civil
Service Department. Promotional exams will be developed as
requested by the board, but It Is
not yet known what promotional unit policy will be after April
Or take pension systems. Court
employees in New York City
have the choice of switching over
to the state pension plan or remaining with the city plan. And
workers
are confused about
which will benefit them the most.
The state employee needs 15
years before he can vest his pension, while the city worker needs
only ten years. But in certain
ciases, one plan is better for an
individual than the other.
1.
Also under review Is the residency policy, but no one who is
presently employed will be affected by any change in the
laws. Only new employees coming Into the system may find
new requirements.
Members of local bargaining
units who have negotiated and
had increments approved prior
to August 5, 1976, will get them.
But the amount will determine
their eligibility for Increases in
the future under the state system.
Workers who come under
Comprehensive Employment and
Training Act funds will not be
graded into titles on the state
level, although they may be assigned to work in the courts.
"These employees are temporary, and while the Office of
Court Administration must tell
them what time to come to work
and what time to quit, they are
not considered regular employees," said Mr. Wynne.
Some of the questions that remain up in the air at this time
Involve matters such as welfare
funds. There are no welfare
funds on the state level, and
there is no one to administer
them. Workers who previously
got fund benefits will be compensated with cash payments of
$350 from the state. But what
about retirees In Suffolk County
and New York City? Will their
benefits run out? This has not
been resolved yet.
RICHARD BARTLETT
. . . finding answers
will be holding training sessions
early this year to instruct payroll people in the new procedure.
Questions will be answered by
technicians at the sessions, and
all answers will be made available to all employees.
And what about union memberships on local levels? Does the
switch mean a worker must not
belong to that union chapter?
Hopefully, these questions will
bs solved during the year. Union
representatives and court representatives are working together
to come up with viable solutions.
And as they are made available,
they will be analyzed and published here.

Tough Decision
OMETIMES, after all the haranguing and arguing have
S
come to naught, a decision still must be made.
Such was the case last week, when Civil Service Employees Assn. president Theodore C. Wenzl announced that
he is prepared to sign immediately a contract with the Thruway Authority "in the best interests of the employees
involved."
This must have been a difficult decision to make for
a leader who has prided himself on a willingness to be directed in his actions by what he determines to be the popular
will of the members.
In the aftermath of successive votes that turned down
a proferred contract for Thruway employees and then rejected strike action, the union leader said: "We've gone as
far as we can go in negotiations, and without a strike vote,
we've exhausted our ammunition."
Dr. Wenzl noted that, in making his decision, he had
reasoned that the contract as negotiated would be better
than one that would be mandated by the Thruway Authority
Board. He noted that as an extra concession, the $200 bonus
would be paid this month instead of next summer. The bonus
will not count in the salary structure, but the 5 percent pay
hike effective this July will be incorporated when negotiations are re-opened for the third year of the pact.
Even more controversial, though, may be the CSEA
president's dismissal of the entire negotiating team . . . in
view of its "negative attitude." Although he indicated that
some of the members would probably be reappointed, his
action may well rank among the most decisive and controversial actions of Dr. Wenzl's tenure as CSEA president.
Assailing "the counter-productive attitude of the majority of the negotiating team," Dr. Wenzl noted that they
had failed to take an active role during the balloting period
and had failed to prepare for the eventuality of a strike.
"If the members had voted to strike," he said, "it would
have been difficult, perhaps impossible, to have conducted
an effective strike. We needed the support of our local officers and negotiating team if we got a strike, but most of
them did not demonstrate the attitude we needed."
We believe that, under the circumstances. Dr. Wenzl
took the only course of action open to him as a responsible
union leader—and that includes his responsibility to the
union members he represents.

horizon and new challenges to
overcome. Congress Is back In
session, the first In the nation's
third century, and the Legislature Is back In session, the Bast
in the state's second century.
With the inauguration of President-elect Jimmy Carter, the
White House and the Congress
will have the same political
orientation. In New York, CJovernor Carey will remain in contention with a politically divided
Legislature, with the Republicans in control of the Senate
and the Democrats in control of
the Assembly.
Political Considerations
With (Governor Carey entering into the second half of his
four-year term, political considerations are likely to become a
more dominating factor in his
relations with the Legislature
th'an they had been during the
preceding two years. During the
first half of his term, the (Governor devoted much of his time,
efforts and energies to coping
with a series of fiscal crises arising from the virtual collapse of
the Urban Development Corporation, and the fiscal problems confronting New York City and
Yonkers.
His preoccupation with these
problems has been the source of
grumbling by some of his Department heads, who found it
difficult to meet with the Governor to resolve their problems. It
has lalso generated some criticism
from Republican sources that the
Governor had been neglecting
State affairs because of this preoccupation.
As the session gets under way,
Republicans will be looking for
soft spots in the Governor's program to be used as ammunition
in the campaign against him in
1978. Assembly Minority Lender
Perry B. Duryea, Jr. will become
the focus of Republican eyes, as
party leaders begin their search
for a strong and vigorous campaigner against Carey.
In some respects, the prospect that the state budget will
be the most critical item before
the Legislature plays into Duryeia's hands. The Governor has
already made it clear that, in
view of the state's fiscal picture,
he proposes to make substantial
cuts in state aid appropriations
for local governments, which
constitute 60 percent of the state
budget.
Local Government Aid
During his years as an As.semblyman and as the Assembly
Speaker, Duryea was known as
one of the most fervent supporters of appropriations for local government aid. He has been
particularly forceful in his efforts to Increase state appropriations for local school boards,
in order to prevent local property taxes from reaching confiscatory levels. Any effort by the
Governor to scale down the level of state education aid will
bring him into sharp conflict
with Duryea.
A skilled pilot who fUes his
own plane, Duryea has visited
all parts of the state, campaigning In behialf of Republican candidates for local offices, and
meeting with civic leaders in
practically every hamlet In the
state.
Duryea has also established a
record as a fiscal conservative,
a record which Is likely to gialn

Letters To The Editor I
No Give-Aw ay In Tompkins County
Editor, The Leader:
I read with dismay your short
news story in the November 19,
1976, issue of the Civil Service
Leader about our Imposed contract with Tompkins County for
1976.
Your article wrongly Implied
that the Tompkins County Administration did us a big favor
by Imposing a contract on us. The
story headline, "Pact Imposed In
Tompkins Has A Variety Of
Fringes," implies we cleaned up
by being forced to accept new
fringe benefits. Not true. Tompkins County management can
hardly be considered to be that
charitable.
Concerning the compensatory
time off "granted" employees in
the Social Services Department,
they had that benefit already In
the previous year. Vacation benefits were not Improved although
recommended by the fact-finder.
Maternity leave was Improved by
a sneeze—leave time may now
be granted for an additional six
months If approved by the
County.
Needless to say, practically all
recommendations by the factfinder were rejected by the County. Wage Increases were half the
recommendations and no substantive changes in benefits were
made. There was no mention of
this in your story. Your story said
the pact provided. In part, that
those employees earning below
the maximum for their salary
grade be given a one-step increase. This has been given automatically for the last ten years to
those who qualify. New money,

"Foreign-degree professionals
do and apparently will dominate

facilities for some time and appropriate reductions In their pay,
fringe benefits and ability to

should be made to reflect their
value in the professional mental
health field . . . and the need
to concentrate full-time on their
DMH jobs and not two or three
other jobs." Mr. Cabin also
noted: "It was not our assertion that American-degree trained doctors are better . . . Mental
Hygiene officials told us that."

QUESTION
If a union represenls many workers at many supervisory levels of management, at what point do you think the line should he drawn between
co-workers and management?
THE PLACE
World Trade Center. Manhattan
OPINIONS
Charlotte Krantz, secretary: "I draw the line
between co-workers and management on the human level.
I do not draw the line between co-workers and management with the people ^ho
make decisions, because they
are too far away from the situation. It would have to be the
ones that actually supervise
those situations. I firmly believe that and it can't be any
other way. They know exactly
what is going on and need to be able to read
between the lines. A supervisor may not make
the decision about how to handle situations but
he is the best person to know how to handle it."
Nina Ho. Insurance examiner: "I would have to
draw the line between co-workers and management at my
supervisor, because when it
comes to the final decisionmaking for my particular duties here, he would make them.
I would regard anybody on the
supervisory level and above supervisory level as management.
These levels make decisions
when I gather information for
them to make these decisions.
Since I have no real decision-making powers in
running the office, then, from my point of view,
management begins with the person who is the
next judge of my work performance."
Willa Edwards, senior clerk: "In my opinion.
management consists of executives responsible for policymaking decisions,^ those who
are delegated by the firstline executives to implement
the decisions, and those further delegated to supervise the
work of the many who form a
force of non-professional personnel. The line is drawn,
therefore, between the chain of
command forced by those in
the management category and the personnel
without authority, but with the responsibility to
capably perform all duties assigned to them by
those in authority."
Murray Landau, insurance examiner: "As far
as I'm concerned, all management decisions come from 'upstairs.' as well as all basic
policy. These people at the very
top tell the supervisory to carry
out certain management deci^^^^^
sions. So really the dividing
lin^ between co-workers and«
S^B^f^^l^H
management comes with those
who make decisions for all, not
HHHBliiHlt^
for the individual. The people
at the top tell the supervisors
and directors how to carry their decisions out.
When I use the term above. I'm referring to
Albany or, possibly, the federal government."
Jack Sussman, supervisor: "I would draw the
line between co-workers and
management up to the level
just below top management.
Top management are those in
appointed positions by the Governor or elected officials and
they represent policy-making
authority. The Merit System
should have the opportunity to
be represented by a labor organization. Appointed management is the level of management where there should be a division between
them and the persons represented by a labor
organization."
Steve Mulrooney. insurance examiner: "I would
draw the line between coworkers and management at
the top supervisory levels of
each department, such as Grade
29 and above, or those who
are directly responsible to the
superintendent for the work.
Everybody else works under
these people. We gather the
background information for
them and they make the final
decisions. The actual decisionmaking process, to me, is the dividing line between
CO-workers and management."

between Jan. 1, 1969 and Dec.
31, 1975. The total was $145 billion at that time. But if adjustment is made for all the
money poured into those funds
to meet future benefits, approximately $22.5 billion evaporated.
Although the pension funds received an average of $10.2 billion
a year, $14 billion in 1975 alone,
it was a marked loss in the value
of the assets.
For 1975 alone, when the
market for securities boomed
again, the fund asset values
went up $33.9 billion. All of

vative Party. This support may
be a vital ingredient in any
campaign against Carey, running
on both the Democratic and the
Liberal Party lines.
Duryea's ambition for la crack
at the state's executive offices is
no secret. Much may happen be-
tween now and the time when
the Republicans meet in convention in the summer of 1978
to designate their candidates for
state office. However, as 1977 begins, Duryea is clearly the frontrunner for the next Republican
nomination for Governor.

I Questions & Answers |
Q. I'm a United States citizen,
but I was bom in Italy. I've been
told that I'll need a social security number to apply for supplemental security income. Do I
need any special papers to get
a number?
A. As a United States citizen
who was born in a foreign country, you'll need one of the following to get a social security
numiber: a certificate of naturalization or citizenship, a United
States passport, a citiaen identification caixl from the U. S. Im-
migration and Niaturallzation
Service, or a report of birth
from a U. S. State Department
consulate.
Q. Do I have to be permanently disabled to get monthly
disability benefits?
A. Social security can pay you
benefits if you can't work because of a severe physical or
mental impairment which is expected to last (or has lasted)
at least 12 months, or is expected to result in death.
LETTERS TO THE EDITOR
(Continued 'from Page G)
ugly head against "foreigners."
This is most absurd since we are
a nation of Immigrants. The
strength of America has been in
accepting people for what they
do, rather than where they are
from. It is equally ironic that
the thrust of Governor Carey's
Executive Order No. 10 is to
judge people not by their performance on the job, but rather
by their outside activities.
I need not recount to you the
contributions those of foreign
birth have made to our great
nation. In addition, you are specifically aware of the Invaluable
contributions
"foreign-degree
professionals" have made to the
DMH and to the mentally 111
of our state.
At a time when financial difficulties render New York State
Increasingly less competitive in
attracting qualified physicians,
the report quoting Mr. Cabin is
more Inopportune. It Is destructive to the morale of hard working, dedicated employees we do
have and must have an adverse
effect on future recruitment
efforts.
It would be most tragic In
this, our Bicentennial year, if
this outrage were allowed to go
unchallenged. We, the medical
and dental staff of Willard PC.
hereby request that you make a
thorough investigation of this
I
matter. If the report is accurate.
It would be Incredible that a
high ranking state official can
continue to function effectively
while harboring and eliciting
such indefensible prejudice.

SHORT TAKES | Urge Pilgrim Re-Accreditation

INDETERMINATE PRISON TERMS
state Corrections Commissioner Benjamin Ward has asserted
that the state's system of imposing indeterminate sentences on
convicted felons is unfair and is no detriment to crime. Mr. Ward,
speaking at a luncheon recently with reporters and editors of the
New York Times, said the indeterminate sentencing system should
be replaced with one allowing "presumptive" sentencing, or the
setting of standard lengths of imprisonment for specific crimes.
This standard system's sentencing requirements could be raised or
lowered by Judges, depending on the circumstances of the felony.
Mr. Ward also said he favors restructuring of the state parole system, with participation by the parolees on a voluntary basis. The
emphasis of parole, he asserted, should not be merely controlling
the offender but helping him readjust to society. Commenting on
indeterminate sentencing, Mr. Ward observed: "The fact of the
matter is that indeterminate sentences Just haven't worked, because they are based on false data.
For Minimum Of Two Years
B R E N T W O O D — Pilgrim

at a hearing of the Joint Commission on Accreditation of Hospitals here late last month.
Mr. Noya asked the accreditation team "to put an end to the

continued unabated for more
than a year. The constant program of harassment by publicity - seeking
special
interest
groups has done incalculable
damage to the reputation of this
center and the New York State
Mental Hygiene program."
Pilgrim could receive accredit•ation for the next two years, if
the Chicago-based survey team
finds that the hospital complies
with JCAH standards.
The giant Mental Hygiene
center lost its accreditation temporarily in April 1975, after a
widely publicized complaint by
the Federation of Parents Organi2«ations for the New York
State Mental Institutions, a patients' rights advocacy group.
"We have shown, I hope, our
commitment to work with you to
secure the future of the Pilgrim
Psychiatric Center," Mr. Noya
continued. "However, we strongly urge that accreditation be for
a minimum of two years, so that
this constant publicity carnivial,
that has surrounded the hospital, can cease and we can continue to work in quiet and dignity."
But
Max
Schneier,
PPO
chairman, recommended that
Pilgrim be granted only a oneyear accreditJation. Samuel Levine, of Oceanside, a member of
Pilgrim's
board
of
visitors,
charged that "the poor level and
equality of care and treatment"
at Pilgrim was cause for accreditation loss to be continued.
Nine of the 13 speakers lat the
hearing urged that the hospital
be reaccredited, either for one
or two years. Three speakers
criticized the hospital but did not
make recommendations on accreditation. Four speakers supported Mr. Schneier's recommendation for one-year accreditation and four. Including Elizabeth Ouanill, president of the
hospital's board of visitors, said
that Pilgrim should receive a
two-year accreditation.
The JCAH is a quasi-governmental body which Inspects
health
facilities around the
country, grading them according to its standards of patient
care, sanitation, patient-staff ratios and other areas. Loss of accreditation can mean the loss of
many governmental funds and
£issistance programs.
Correction
It was incorrectly stated in the
Dec. 31, 1976 issue of the Leader
that the late Barry Sutherland,
killed by a parole violator in New
York City early last month, was
a probation officer. Mr. Sutherland was a parole officer.

MANHATTAN—Sam Emmett,
a 30-year-plus veteran of the
Civil Service Employees Assn. and
associate tax collector in the
New York City district office, will
retire this month after more than
34 years' of state service.
Mr. Emmett will be honored
by his co-workers and friends at
a testimonial luncheon Thursday, Jan. 20, at Feathers Restaurant in the Fifth Avenue
Hotel. 24 Fifth Ave., Manhattan.
In his CSEA service, Mr, Emmett was chairman of the statewide membership committee, a
member of the State Tax Department negotiating committee.
Tax Department representative
to the CSEA Board of Directors
and a member of the executive
board of the New York City
CSEA chapter. Mr. Emmett is
also a member of the Tax Department's 20-Year Club of the
Metropolitan Area and an executive member of the New York
State
employees
brotherhood
committee and the New York
State Employees Credit Union.
Tickets to the luncheon, priced
at $10 each, are available from
Selma Cohn, New York State
Department of Taxation and Finance, Executive Section, Room
65-05, Two World Trade Center,
New York, N.Y. 10047.
Ed Mooney, a member of the Capital District, Civil Service Employees Assn. retiree chapter, encountered pickets
one day last month when he arrived to enter CSEA Albany
headquarters.
"What are you striking for?" he asked one picket. "We
haven't had a cost of living raise in two years," answered a
young man. To this Ed replied, "That's nothing. I haven't
had a cost of living raise since I retired six years ago." The
picket smiled and placed his picket poster in Ed's hands,
saying, "Here, sir, you've got more reason to carry this than
I have."
This good-natured exchange underlines a point Governor Carey and the members of the State Legislature seem
to be unaware of, or prefer to ignore. With the rate of inflation predicted to go up another 5 to 6 percent In 1977,
retired government employees in the state face further
shrinkage in the purchasing power of their pension check.
The costs of some necessities of life have actually doubled
since 1968, and those who have retired since that year have
not received an increase of one cent in their retirement allowances. Many retirees feel they would be financially better
off if they were on welfare.
When we retired, no one promised us a rose garden or
guaranteed that after many years of public employment we
would always be able to maintain at least a decent standard
of living on a fixed income. This may be so but there is a
moral, if not legal, obligation to the retired members of the
New York State Employees Retirement System to assure
that the decline in the value of their retirement dollars be
offset by providing a cost of living adjustment in their
checks as inflation continues to rise.
CSEA retirees want and desperately need to have factored into their retirement allowances a permanent cost
of living clause based on the Department of Labor's consumer price index for all retired members of the New York
State Employees Retirement System.
For older retirees, who retired at very low pensions, a
suppplemental increase is presently allowed on a graduated
scale of 4 percent to 11 percent for those who retired in
1968 and earlier. This law has been enacted for only one
year at a time and is currently due to expire on June 30.
Our position is thai this supplemental increase should be
made permanent and the retirement years advanced to
include 1971.
The cost of living increase for retirees is top priority
for CSEA this year and is regarded as an important part
of the 1977 legislative program drawn up by the CSEA's
legislative and political action committee, to be submitted
in January by the union's attorneys.
The following is a summary of the Statewide Retirees
Committee's final statement of retiree legislative goals for
1977:
• A permanent cost of living increase as described above.
CSEA retirees attach great importance to having an escalator
clause in this legislation whereby automatic increases will
be computed as the consumer price index indicates a rise
in the cost of living, in the same manner that this is computed twice a year for federal civil service retirees.
• A survivor's benefit for New York State retirees who
retired from state employment prior to October 1, 1966, for
the amount of $2,000, which retirees are the only retired
state employees not eligible for a death benefit.
• An extension of the health insurance plan covering
retirees to include a dental health insurance plan comparable to that now enjoyed by state employees, and the Blue
Shield benefit which provides up to $50 toward physicians'
charges for an annual physical examination.
• An extension of the health insurance now in effect
for New York State retirees to include coverage for the
surviving spouse to the extent of the unused sick leave
money available, thus eliminating whole or fractional payment required of the surviving spouse in effect at this time.
• Federal legislation modifying the Internal Revenue
Act of 1954 to provide a tax exemption on the first $5,000
of retirement income.
To follow up closely on our bills after they have been
introduced, Nellie Davis, chairman of the Retirees Committee, appointed the following members to the 1977 retirees
legislative subcommittee: Elizabeth Steenburgh, of Schenectady, chairman; John Joyce, of Albany; John Kennedy, of
Troy, and Alfred Robinson, of New York City.

CSEA STRENGTH IN UNITY
MEMBERSHIP DRIVE
EXTENDED TO APRIL 1, 1977
Never In the histofv 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 memt)ers. There Is
no limit to the number of new memt)ers 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 k)etween now
and April 1, 1977, CSEA will award you $5.CX). After
you have signed up the new member he must be on
the payroll for four bi-weekly pay periods or the
equivalent thereof.
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 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. In approximately 8-12 weeks you
will receive your cash payoff.
New members must work in a unit of government
represented by CSEA. So we urge you CSEA members—go to it —start signing up non-members for
cash in your pocket and security in your future.
NON-MEMBERS SHOULD
HELP SHARE THE LOAD
If you're a non-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 . . . sen/ices 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.
