The CSEA's statewide non-teaching school district employees committee reported t h a t school district employees idled because of the school closings, and other local governmental employees idled because of severe winter weather conditions in some parts of the state, might be eligible for immediate unemployment benefits. They should contact the CSEA's Office of Local Government at statewide headquarters in Albany with any questions. The number is (518) 434-0191. The CSEA said t h a t efforts to contact directly the local officials at each affected school district have been hampered by the large number of districts involved. Many of its officials in the areas heavily hit by severe winter storms are volunteering their services to storm-related assistance efforts, often working around the clock. Fact-Finding Hearings Open In Albany Feb. 7 ALBANY—Fact-finding hearings into t h e contract dispute between the Civil Service Employees Assn. and the State of New York, affecting 145,000 state workers in four major bargaining units, were scheduled to begin on Monday, Feb. 7, and continue on Tuesday. Additional dates, if required, were to be scheduled. REVIEW LEGISLATIVE P R O G R A M Keeping track of action in the state Capitol, the Civil Service Employees Assn.'s director of legislation and political action. Bernard Ryan, checks out latest legislative update for distribution to union policymakers. CSEA staff secretary Janice Daniels is shown as she prepares the supplement. Key union people throughout the state have already received an initial report in a three-ring binder to hold the updates. Included in the first report were data on recent elections, lists of members of the standing legislative committees, legislators' phone numbers and addresses. It's all part of a union program to keep members more aware of what's happening so they can l>etter communicate their needs to the state's lawmakers. The fact-finding hearings were to be conducted in the Regents Room of the State Education Department building in Albany before a fact-finding panel headed by noted labor mediator Theodore W. Kheel, of New York City. Other members of the panel include John Sands, professor of law at Albany Law School, and Robert Babin, professor of law at Syracuse University College of Law. The dispute, over a contract reop>€ner to become effective April 1, 1977, went to impasse in December and subsequent mediation efforts by the State Public Employment Relations Board failed to resolve the issue. As the dispute entered factfinding, the CSEA was demanding a salary increase of 12 percent with la minimiun of $1,200, and the State was offering a $350 increase effective April 1 and a 5 percent increase effective Jan. (Continued on Page 16) C S E A Charges Rockland-SEIU Conspiracy I n N e g o t i a t i o n s NEW CITY—Tiie Service Employees International Union stiowed up at a hearing in New York City last week on a matter involving the Civil Service Employees Assn. and the County of Rockland. "We can only assume that the county is working hand in hand with SEIU to postpone our negotiations," said CSEA field representative ~Thomas A. Brann. "The hearing was to be on our charge of Improper practice against the county for their failure to negotiate. According to the Public Employment Relations Board, the CSEA and the county were the only two parties involved. Yet somehow this outside union, which hias a history of trying to disrupt our negotiations, leams alMut the hearing and shows up at it. You can draw your own conclusions about who 'invited' them, but in my opinion the finger points to the county." The CSEA, which represents the 1,750 employees of the County of Rockland, asked on Oct. 29, 1976, for negotiations on the 1977 contract to begin immediately. The employees liad (Continued on Page 3) Orange County Court Workers Get Lincoln's Day With Pay MIDDLETOWN —Orange County employees of the Orange County Supreme, County and Family Courts will okjserve Friday, Feb. 11, as a paid holiday, as called for in the Civil Service Employees Assn. contract with the bounty.

Donohue, CSEA Statewide Nominating Committee, Civil Service Employees Assn., 33 Elk St., Albany. N.Y. 12207. Fact-Finder Backs Rensselaer W o r k e r s TROY —For the third time In less t h a n a two-year period, an unbiased mediator/fact-finder has reviewed the presentations of both the Rensselaer County administration and the county employees representative, the Civil Service Employees Assn., and has supported the employees in the area of economic need. The CSEIA has claimed that comparisons of county employee salaries, benefits, etc.. in relationship to other public and private counterparts in the county would show thiat county workers were lagging in salary and benefit coverage. The fact-finder's report agrees with this position and he makes recommendations to correct all areas of deficiency. Harmon Swits, the CSEA collective bargaining specialist, commented on the report. "Before the County Executive twists the facts to his ladvantage, I remind you that if a blue-collar employee was earning the $13,000 the County Executive claimed, then the fact-finder would not have supported the CSEA's side. "I suggest all reporters review the county's presentation and see where the county changed figures to its advantage, forgot to add in federal money for various programs, etc., to make the (Continued on Page 3) Baranello T a k e s D e m P a r t y Reins A t Critical T i m e WITH THB EX.ECTION of Dominic J.

How do to this in the face of the breakdown in the current negotiastate employees? THE PLACE Creedmoor Psychiatric Center. Queens OPINIONS Murray Kalb, principal accountant: "There is no Justification for increases in salary for one segment of state employees without similar consideration for the rest of the state employees. The executive and legislative departments of New York State have had three years in which to come up with a fair and equitable resolution to the question of salary adjustments. The morale of state employees is fast reaching the point where it will be difficult for them to be effective in their work. Certainly, the state has an obligation to reach a satisfactory settlement on wage demands and an agreement on other legitimate contract considerations." A1 Branxton, clothing clerk: "I don't understand when civil servants are bein« denied a raise in very vocal terms, the Assembly in the same month grants raises to its aides. I feel it shows total disrespect for the rest of the civil servants. We haven't received a cost-of-living raise in three years. Why should we have to dig into our pockets to pay for their raises in order for them to continue a Itumrious life? We have families to support like they do and we do it on a fourth of the salary many of them make. Aren't they causing the inflation they said we would cause if we were to receive a pay raise? William Dnffy, welder, operations: " I feel that we are coming to the end of the great society with many classes, whereby a person could work to his own ability to better himself and support his family in a decent manner. Now it seems that the State Assembly wants a two-class system, the very rich and the very poor. The middle class, a very stable class totaUy supporting the unemployed, and the upper crust who cherish their tax loopholes. The government should put the money back into the hands of the people who will circulate it, not into the hands of those who bank it away." Frieda Scheiman, senior account clerk: "Why are they more special t h a n we are? Is it because the favored few work closely with the executive and legislative leaders? Our workload has increased tremendously, while oiu: workforce has been cut by attrition with no replacements in sight. No new clerical help has been hired, yet we are expected to produce an excess of work. We are working under pressure and our attitude certainly will have to change if the small guy. who is essential to the running of state facilities, is completely ignored."

Departmental charges against the quintet were dropped after word about it reached several newspapers. But before that happened, the men were forced to live for a while in uncertainty. The dispute could have easily cost them their jobs. The men were ordered to clean an incinerator chamber at the Sanitation Department's plant in Brooklyn, a simple enough task. But when they discovered they had to walk across a wooden plank to reach the chamber, they balked, claiming the plank was unsafe. Apparently the sight of a 20-foot well half-filled with water beneath the plank gave them second thoughts and some fears that one or more of them could have fallen in and drowned. Their bosses, however, insisted the plank was safe and much wider than the workers claimed. They also argued other men had crossed it before and no one fell. Since both sides were making contrasting statements, the true facts are unclear. But we feel the city's director of incinerator plants, Arthur Price, was wise to cancel the hearing. It is untimely that he waited until after this newspaper and several others began looking into the matter (causing some suspicious souls to suggest that only pressure from the media prevented an injustice) but justice coming late is better than no justice at all. For this, we commend Mr. Price but with this admonition: We feel the city should take care to better safeguard its employees. Too often, public employees are subject to unnecessary hazards, seemingly the result of complacency on the part of an uncaring government. Civil servants should not have to run the risk of drowning to reach their work stations. Let's not have things like t h a t happen again.

Baranello, who was Governor Carey's personal choice for t h a t office, brings to his post credentials of unusual accomplishment as a driving and forceful political leader. In past years, Suffolk County had always been regarded as an Impregnable bastion of Republicanism. J u s t foiu* years ago, in the presidential race between Richard Nixon a n d Senator George McGovern, the Republicans brought in a greater plurality for President Nixon t h a n t h a t of any other county in the nation. Since then, the Democrats, u n der the leadership of Baranello, have completely reversed the political picture in the county.

He's going to ask, 'Who's going to elect m e ? ' " The statement, part of a sharply satirical a^tack against recent proposals to reform the civil service Merit System, was delivered by Irving Flaumenbaum, president of the Lone Island Region I of t h e Civil Service Employees Assn. Mr. Flaumenbaum ridiculed the idea that politically selected officials could possibly administer a system of promotions and raises in the civil service fairly. "It's Just a return to t h e days of Boss Tweed," he declared. The attack was delivered in a speech before the Long Island chapter of the American Society for Public Administration, a professional group of government administrators. T h e question of Merit System revision was considered by two other panelists, Suffolk County's labor relations director Joseph Fasbach, and attorney Bert Pogrebin, of Mineola, a specialist in labor negotiations primarily on behalf of management. Eldorado Mr. Flaumenbaum told the group t h a t vote-seeking politicians were diamaging the f u t u r e of labor-management relations in the public sector by promoting " m y t h s " about alleged high salaries and pensions in the civil service. T h e cynicism of this approach is poisoning the attitude of pub- lic service employees against the elected leaders of government, and producing a n atmosphere much more likely to promote strikes among public employees.

In his rebuttal, which was aired by the radio station on Feb. 1, Mr. Lennon expressed t h e CSEA's opposition to the idea stating t h a t its adoption would m e a n a r e t u r n to the "spoils" system. "The present system ensures t h a t the most qualified candidate gets the Job, and t h a t rewards are given for long a n d meritorious service—and not for being the crony of t ^ e boss," Mr. Leimon said. The CSEA recently announced plans to hire its own consulta n t to conduct a probe of the Merit System. This action is in tended to counteract possible changes recommended by t h e state team.

Of course, you can get all these features and more by simply getting a Volkswagen Rabbit in the first place. The amazing Rabbit also gives you a rear hatchback for easy loading, 24.7 feet of cargo space with the rear seat folded down, and a new deluxe interior.

Negotiations Update A t Reg i o n I V M e e t i n g ve Dan Campbell, public relations associate for the Capital Region, prepares movie projector for a film of the controversial interview with Donald WoUet, of the state's Office of Employee Relations. By KENNETH SCHEPT TROY—The Capital Region's Jan. 17 meeting opened with a screening of the Increasingly popular "Gone With the Wind" remake, a 20-mlnute documentary depicting Donald H. Wollet, director of the Office of Employee Relations, and Ck)v. Hugh Carey's reipresentatlve in the state's negotiations with the d v U Service Employees Assn., performing his now famous "the CSEA has no leadership" speech. Reaction of the audience wtas swift: laughter, as If Mr. Wollet's remarks were not to be taken too seriously. The group seemed to see through the performance and enjoy it as a n evening's entertainment. One CSEA member was heard to ask if cmd when this short subject film would appear on Home Box Office. Nominations for placing the film into several award categories also came spontaneously from the floor. Jack Carey, director of state affairs for the CSEA. responded to Wollet's charge t h a t the difficulty in meeting with the union was knowing who the designated CSEA negotiator wias. "I was the one Wollet was dealing with," Mr. Carey said. "I'm not sure who I was dealing with." He said, "The facts are on our side. Every effort should be made to come to a good settlement." Ernest Q. Dumond, president of the Education chapter, and a member of the Board of Directors of the CSEA, recommended thiat the group back the telegram set by the union's president, Theodore C. Wenzl. to Governor Carey criticizing the Wollet statements. The Region agreed to stand solidly behind Dr. Wenzl in this matter. The meeting's most dramatic moment was an angry speech by Region IV president Joseph McDermott, who blasted an Albany Times Union editorial critical of the Merit System. "They're tallclng about management deciding who gets promotions and who doesn't." Mr. McDermott shouted. "They want to scrap a time-proven system t h a t supplies the state with competent personnel, and replace it with the politically squalid spoils system." He urged the membership to participate in a letter-writing campaign to Jiames Tully. Commissioner of Taxation and Finance, who advocated the change in the state's promotion policy.

"You want to have penalties, OK, fine. Just let them apply to both sides, so that before an employer provokes his employees into striking he might stop to think, 'I might go to Jail for this.'" Mr. Flaumenbaum accused some governments of provoking employees into striking "in order to balance their mismaniaged budgets." Mr. Fasbach said Suffolk County was already preparing a proposal to do away with the tmditional Merit System and make promotions ft supervisory decision. "You already have that in the federal government," he said. Mr. P o g r ^ i n claimed that the Taylor Law has enabled public employees to gain advances that are not Justified, and accused some governments of "giving away the store." Both management representa- tives indicated that the right to strike might backfire on public employees. Mr. Pogrebin said public employees could not affect the public and thus cause pressure for settlement as much fts private sector workers. Mr. Fasbach endorsed the idea of repealing the prohibition against public employee strikes, except in police and fire service. He did not state specifically whether he thought a strike would caiise public employees to lose ground. The discussion was held during a meeting at Musicaro's restaumnt, Melville, Feb. 2.

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 C S E A , the greater the strength of the state bargaining units.

The station has appeared at 20 of 25 scheduled stops and has been well-received a t all locations. The CSEA field representatives, William Lochner and Greg Davis, have regularly manned the station. "People were pleasantly surprised to see that the CSEA was sincerely Interested In servicing their needs," Mr. Davis siaid. "They often would stop and ask, 'What's going on?' and when they discovered t h a t the CSEA was there to find out if they had any problems, they were really impressed."

Second, we solved hundreds of those little problems that members have but never seem to remember to bring up to their officers. We handed out insurance information. Leader address correction cards, signed up members and serviced established members as they required." "Most significantly. CSEA members and non-members alike had ample opportunity to discuss issues land obtain their union's point of view.

Mr. McDermott explained the reasoning behind his Instructions. "This year the CSEA must be prepared to do what is necessary to secure the results our members expect and deserve. We must be ready to go the last mile but also be prepared to stand our ground. Preparations have already been made by this region for communioations, for assignments of staff and members. Now we must move to the next level, the local state chapters. By the end of the contract period this region must be ready for whatever contingency develops." Field supervisor Jack Corcoran explained the need for the establishment of such committees. "Last-minute planning never builds confidence, but knowledge that solid planning does exist lets the membership know that the CSEA is reiady to do what the membership requires. Our equipment is set, our plans have been updated, basic implementation or participation now must be structured on the Board level In order to make these preseni plans function properly."
