major state bargaining units that
the deadline for participating in
one of the important new benefits negotiated into the contracts,
the vacation credit exchange
provision, is July 1,
C>
A CSEA spokesman reminded
that under terms of the new contracts, state employees who wish
to exchange from one to five
days of accrued vacation for
cash each year must file a special form with management to
that effect prior to July 1 of
each year. "Because of the
lengthy negotiations, legal situations and ratification vote, the
deadline for first-year participation is fast approaching and we
want to alert employees who do
want to exchange vacation days
for cash this year to that fact."
the union spokesman said.
Special election forms are
available from employee relations
offices of state departments and
agencies or from any CSEA regional office. Using the form, an
employee elects to exchange from
one up to five days of accrued
vacation days for cash. The vacation days exchanged will be
paid in a separate check on a pay
day in early December each year,
coming during the holiday season
when generally people most need
the extra cash.
The union spokesman reminded that while filing must take
place prior to July 1 in order to
participate, conversely an election of days selected cannot be
changed after July 1 either.
In other important changes
and improvements
negotiated
into the new contracts, per diem
allowances have been increased,

of New York and Nassau, S u f folk. Westchester and Rockland

that he would lead a move to

CSEA Knocks Shift Changes
For SUNY Buffalo Cleaners
CHEEKTOWAGA—Expressing concern for the safety of about 100 cleaners at the
three State University of New York at Buffalo campuses scheduled to work on the third
shift beginning June 7, the president of the union representing the workers accused UB
president Robert L. Ketter of a "cavalier and callous attitude" in failing to meet with the
union to discuss the change.
Robert C. Smith, president of
UB Local 602 of the Civil Service
Employees Assn.. also sciid that
the union has filed a grievance
over the UB proposal, and attorneys for CSEA are preparing
legal moves to prevent implementation of the third-shift
cleaning schedule.
Currently, the cleaners work
on the second, or 4 pjn.-12 ajn.
shift, although three workers
are being moved to the new shift
from the day 8 ajn. to 4 pjn.
shift.
Citing recent examples of the
hazards facing the workers, Mr.
Smith said he wrote Dr. Ketter
on May 3 requesting a meeting,
but his request was Ignored in
the reply of May 20.
Just recently, one cleaning
woman was injured on the Job
and lay unconscious for an undetermined pei'iod of time because there was no one else in
the building. Mr. Smith said,
"while another woman, also
working alone, was scared out of
her wits by a man dressed only
in underwear."
He said the change to the
third shift would increase the
dangers because there would be
more situations where there
would be no one else in the
buildings.
"In fact that's why the administration
is making
the
change," Mr. Smith continued.
"They claim that efficiency will
be improved because the build-
ings are completely empty of activities."
"It's too much of a risk and
too disruptive of people's lives
for little possible improvement,"
he said as he pointed out that
from 70 percent to 85 percent of
the space to be cleaned is now
vacant during the second shift
"when most of the cleaning is
done."
He said that a union survey of
building space used after 6 p.m.
disclosed that Ridge Lea space is
85 percent unused, Main Street
(Continued on Page 3)
proposed as part of a statewide
reduction of 740 jobs in the Department of Mental Hygiene by
next March 31. Because of the
concentration of proposed reductions at Pilgrim, the move would
necessitate widespread layoffs
there.
The threat brought together
the CSEA and the Federation of
Parents Organizations of the
State Mental Institutions, two
groups which have clashed repeatedly in recent years. The
Federation co-sponsored the rally
with the Pilgrim CSEA Local.

Only persons who have been out

not displace or replace any
people currently employed, according to the federal guidelines.
Charles Bertolami, the county's commissioner of employment

the rest of the funds originated,
however.
Nassau County already has

Ode To A Career
The following poem was written by Wray Goetz a Civil Service Employees Assn. member who
works in food service at Pilgrim
Psychiatric Center. In a letter
detailing the needs of the food
service workers, BAs. Goetz wrote.
"Allow me to let them Icnow
that someone does care . . ."
Just to have a compliment come
our way
After we have had a disastrous
day
Instead of being criticized for a
task left behind
Because of severe shortages, and
lack of time.
Who are we? No one it seems
No recognition . . .
No "career ladder" in our dreams.
How sad we are to see other
employees climb
While we sit idle, through 20
years state time.
A dormant grade 4, for the rest

Mr. Flaumenbaum is a big man—and that can be interpreted in terms of physical size as well as his expansive
personality. He is without doubt one of the giants of CSEA's
history.
His opponent in the current election for Long Island
Region president, Frank Seminara, as stated in the May 27
issue of The Leader, has said that he is not running against
anything, but to symbolize the democratic processes of CSEA
that makes it the best among unions.
Mr. Seminara could win that election, but Mr. Flaumenbaum will still be a legend in Nassau County.

clues as to what may happen in
the Democratic primary here In
September. In some respects, the
situation that confronted Gov.
Brendan Byrne parallels the situation that confronts Mayor Abraham Beame.
Byrne's vlctbry
confounded
both the pollsters and the pundits In the press who pronounced
Byrne politically dead even before the polls opened. Beame
does not show up quite as badly
in the polls, but clearly a majority of voters react negatively
In their estimation of the quality of Beame's performance.
Advantages Of Incumbency
Byrne's primary win underscored once again the advantages
of incumbency in a primary election, where the voter turnout Is
Invariably small. In New Jersey
only about 25 percent of those
eligible turned up at the polls.
It Is not likely to be significantly
higher here.
Essentially what the Incumbent
has going for him are two things:
the ability to dominate the press
and to mobilize the full resources
of the patronage system In his
behalf.
For example, Byrne completely
took over the press and radio
and television news when he did
nothing more than sign Into law
the bill approved by the State
Legislature
legalizing
casino
gambling In Atlantic City, a law
he was bound to approve since
the voters had approved a constitutional amendment to permit
casino gambling.
Similarly, Mayor Beame was
able to capture the news media
by simply Inviting to City Hall
the "human fly" who scaled the
World Trade Center.
Such activities are cynically
and typically described by the
press and the politicians as media events, but despite the cynicism, they do rate press coverage.
Another parallel in the two
situations is that Byrne ran in a
field of nine candidates. Mayor
Beame will run against at least
six opponents, and
possibly
seven if Rep. Mario Biaggi drops
the other shoe and decides to
make the race. From the point
of view of the incumbent, a large
field of competitors Is advantageous, since it results In dividing the opposition.
Like Byrne, who was the prime
target of all of his opponents
largely because he fought so
vigorously for a state income
tax. Mayor Beame will be the
principal target of his opponents,
with their attacks centered on
the city's financial situation.
Here again, Beame may well be
able to satisfy enough of the
city's voters In the primary so
that a minority of the voters—
sufficiently large—will vote for
him to give him at least second
place In the balloting.'
It Is at this point that the
primary here differs radically
from the one in New Jersey. In
New York City there is a provision for a run-off election between the two top candidates in
the event no candidate receives
at least 40 percent of the
primary vote.

It has been held in prior cases t h a t the appropriate
forum in which to test the NLRB's pre-emption is not a
state court. Finally, the CIR argued that as a matter of
constitutional law; the NLRB could not make a final and
binding determination of what is ultimately a constitutional
matter, and that the CIR had a right to obtain Jurisdictional
review. The court did not dispute that contention; however,
it pointed out that such review lies in the federal court
system, not the state courts. Petitioner's motion, therefore,
to reargue was denied, and the court adhered in all respects
to its earlier decision of Jan. 6, in which it reversed its Oct.
14, 1976, decision. Committee of Interns and Residents v.

Michelle Kane, probation officer: "Will you support some kind of Incentive,
such as higher pay or promotional advances for getting extra educational training In the
field? All educational leaves of
absence are granted by Individual department heads. I would
hope It would be a mayoral
decision. A lot of people end
up leaving the Job, after obtaining higher learning skills,
because they are not rewarded
with a higher salary. This imdermlnes the Importance of gaining extra training and education."
Kareii
Kramer,
investigating parole officer:
"Rather than spoidlng public
funds on building up super
agencies such as the new centralized criminal Justice agency, what realistic measures can
you pr(HX>se for 'reforming and
rehabilitating' the criminal Justice system in New York City
so that all the separate entities Involved can benefit? Until the criminal Justice system
is straightened out, the purpose
for its very existence Is negated. Today, there
are many areas that are acceptable."
Clapde Booker, supervising probation officer: "A
ride through any part of New
York's boroughs today, we find
devastated, debilitated housing, neighborhoods without adequate fire protection, police
protection drastically reduced,
the schools unsafe and underutilized and nothing is being
done about the restoration of
labor. As a social worker, I see
how Important it is for the f u ture of the city, to restore manpower. Today, most of the defendants use this
lack of Jobs as a copout. This works against any
form of rehabilitation."
WalbMe Cheatham, probation officer: "Instead

what do you plan to do with

to the same wage reductions imposed by the city
on the lower city positions."
Morris Frey, supervising probation officer: "How
would you as a mayoral candidate be more responsive than
the current mayor to the community? Will you tell the individual communities where
their tax dollars are being
spent, specifically in the areas
of social services? Each community in the city has different needs and the community is aware of the particular
differences. It Is about time
they knew exactly what is being done for them
through the services of the city. They have the
right to know if they are being neglected in order
to subsidize other neighborhoods, specifically ones
that pay little tax."
Maxine AbramowitE, probation officer: "Speaking
out of very narrow self-interest,
I would like to ask the candidates whether they plan to
support the continuation of
rent control. As a ctiy employee, I know that my salary

given. I find this illustration to
be totally erroneous in that two
different beginning salaries were
used, thus inflating the final
gross pay figure by some 1753 for

increase as $1,145, rather than

There are a few changes.
There is an extension of a $35

qualify under the old law. Now

tion on estates has been changed.
There is a new tax credit that
cuts off the top of the old tax
tables. The minimum rate is up
from 3 percent to 18 percent, but
the credit has been substantially
increased and will increase each
year imtil 1981. The effect of this
is to exempt $120,000 of an estate in 1977. $134,000 in 1978.
$147,000 in 1979. $162,000 in
1980. and $175,625 thereafter.
The marital deduction is also
liberalized. Half your estate or
a minimiun of $250,000 is allowed to pass to yoiur spouse
without tax. In addition, you can
give your spouse up to $100,000
in lifetime gifts. There is no
deduction in the tax on the next
$100,000. But gifts to a spouse
above $200,000 get a 50 percent
deduction.
Another element that makes
the tax filing easier is the assumption that a spotise has a
half interest in the value of
everything in a Joint accoimt.
Under the old rule, the fractional
interest in a piece of property
had to be established in Joint
ownership. If you own property
which you want to divide differently. you must establish a
qualified Joint interest in a definite and different way. The old
means of establishing a life interest in property is no longer
valid. Each time the property is
transferred, there will be a new
tax.
However,
grandchildren
may receive $250,000 per "child
of the decedent." This is a complicated area and reqxiires a lawyer for interpretation.
The law has for a long time
limited gifts made "in contemplation of death." To avoid Interpretation difficulties, the new
law assiunes that gifts made
within three years prior to death
are part of the estate.
One other element in the new
law establishes the base for capital gains on stocks as of Dec.
31. 1976. This eliminates the
need to figure out what a stock

Grieyances, Layoffs, GETA , Meeting Topics
By KENNETH SCHEPT
How to file and pursue a grievance; an explanation of retreating and bumping procedm-es, and
a discussion of the CETTA program were the main topics covered at the Southern Region
County Workshop of the Civil
Service Employees Assn., held recently at the Camelot Inn,
Poughkeepsie.
GRIEVANCES
According to John Mauro, regional first vice president and
chairman of the workshop, the
"scope and purpose of the grievance procedure" was chosen as
a topic because "it Is an important matter for the membership to be educated about. It is
important that people know what
constitutes an offense and how
to go about filing the grievance."
S;

Tom Mahr, regional attorney,
presented an overview of the
grievance situation during the
Saturday morning meeting. He
was followed by field representative Tom Quimby who addressed
some of the specific problems
that members may face with
cc

grievances. The most Important
things to remember, he said,
"are to be timely with grievances,
and to keep records."
Mr. Quimby conducted an exercise to aid shop stewards or
grievance chairmen in writing
effective grievances. He circulated a page containing seven
common complaints which an
employee may wish to file a
grievance about. Members at the
meeting then discussed how they
would question the complaining
worker to elicit the Information
necessary for a detailed grievance.
For example, a worker might
complain, "my supervisor is unfair." The first logical question
is, "What is he doing?" One
might ask, "How is what he is
doing to you different than his
treatment of others?" If the
supervisor is tough on everyone,
there may not be a case for a
grievance; just a disagreeable
personality to work with.
Another common complaint is:
"The job I'm doing is worth
more than I'm being paid." Does
this person have a legitimate
grievance? Perhaps, if he is doing out of title work.
RETREATING AND BUMPING
Joseph Abbey, of the CSEA
research department, led the
workshop section on retreating
and bumping. He began by explaining the difference between
displacing, bumping and retreating, and by defining exactly what
it means to be on a preferred
list.
Joseph Feraca made several points during the discussions of bumping
and retreating Saturday morning, in order to clarify situations which
have occurred with layoffs and hiring at the Kingston School unit
of CSEA, where he is president.
John Mauro, first vice-president
of the Southern Region, was
chairman of the weekend workshop. The subject of grievances
was chosen as a topic for the
meetings, he said, so tluit the
membership could get a better
idea of what constitutes a violation requiring a grievance, and
what steps to follow in filing.
Raymond G. Cassidy. president of the Westehester Loeal Joined the
discussion of problems with CETA. saying that he had just seen his
three congressional representatives in an effort to promote greater
enforcement of CETA regulations so that CETA funds can not be
substituted for other purposes by the program sponsors. His wife,
Blarle, Is In the rear.
Section 80 of the Civil Service
Law governs state competitive
employees during staff reductions, Mr. Abbey said. Non-competitive and labor class-employees are not covered by the law.
Blind workers are at the top of
seniority lists when it comes to
layoffs, followed by veterans.
Seniority is established within
the lay-off unit.
• • •
er has the right to bump the
least senior person in the next
lower title.
If there is no one to bump,
that stenographer may retreat,
returning to the item he last
held, although it is perhaps not
in direct line with the position
from which he has been laid off.
The bumped person then goes
on a preferred list in order of
seniority. Non-competitive class
workers are covered only through
negotiated contract, and their
protection is not included in
Civil Service Law.
CETA
The meeting about CETA was
also led by Mr. Abbey. It developed into an open, at times
heated, discussion as various
members related their experience,
often their frustration, in working with the CETA program.
Mr. Abljey began the proceeding with an explanation of what
CETA is about. He said that
CETA workers can not work in
positions where there have been
layoffs; they can not take the
place of laid-off employees. For
example, Mr. Abbey said, if an
employee is laid off in a county
and there are CETTA workers
some\yhere in that county, then
the county as a whole, not just
the department where the layoff
took place, should become the
lay-off unit.
The CSEA is on record as favoring CETA. CETA workers are
entitled to union membership.
The CSEA position is that CETA
language should be explicit.
Jurgen Wekerle, of the Newburgh Probation Local, said that
in his area CETA functions well
because he and others have taken
the time to monitor abuses of
the CETA system.
Displacement is horizontal. For
example, if the staff reduction
affects a unit of stenographers,
then the least senior member of
that lay-off unit is the first to
lie displaced.
Ray Cassidy, president of the
Westchester County Local, said
that he had just come from
meetings with several congressional representatives, where he
expressed his view that CETA
was not being run well. He said
that the problem was in enforcement of the federal CETA
laws.
Bumping involves promotional
series. The displaced stenograph-

Jargren Wekerle, of the Newbur^h Probation Department expressed
deep concern for the problem of CETA. The program was functioning
well in liis area, he said, because of prompt reporting of violations.
"CETA is here today; the best we can do is make it work under
their rules and regulations," he said.

Barbara Meyers, Ulster County secretary-treasurer and Barbara
Swartzmiller, Ulster County Infirmary president, listen intently during one of Saturday afternoon's meetings.
Theodore C. Wenzl, president of
the CSEA, spoke at the opening
session of the workshop, Friday
night, and returned Saturday.
Ellis Adams, president of the Dutchess County Local, talked about
the need to have county people elected to the CSEA statewide offices
so that the views and needs of county members have strong representation.
...Southern County Workshop
(Continued from Page 8)
Theodore C. Wenzl agreed with
Mr. Cassidy, saying, "One of
my arguments for CSEA becoming national is this . . . so that
there could be a headquarters and
legal staff in Washington. So we
can have input."

At a Saturday night banquet
Tia Schneider Denenberg, of the
American Aibitration Assn., delivered a speech pointing out
new approaches to contract negotiations. Her basic point was
that since money for raises has
been so limited by the economy,
workers could do well in negotiations if they made broad demands regarding working conditions as well as salary. The employer may be more responsive
to increasing benefits or correcting a work situation than to increasing salary. Ms. Denenberg's
remarks appeared in full in last
week's Leader.
ELECTIONS
Because the workshop was held
during the period of statewide
CSEA elections, various candidates visited the meetings during
the weekend to meet the membership and explain their views.
Candidates who visited Included
Joseph Lazarony, who is running for the position of executive
vice-president of CSEA against
A. Victor Costa and Thomas McDonough; and two candidates
for the union's presidency, Kenneth Cadieux, and Theodore C.
Wenzl, the incumbent. William
McQowan Is the third person in
that race.
Ellis Adams, president of the
Dutchess County Local of CSEA,
stressed that "No county people
are runniiig for paid public positions." He said, "We should
try as much as we can to get
our own elected to statewide office." Voting is the key, he said,

Victor S. Bahou, president of
the State Civil Service Commission, has commended the Troy
Municipal Civil Service Commission for continuing excellence.
The commendation is contained in a letter from Conunissioner Bahou. on behalf of the
full State Civil Service Commission, to Paul D. Mahoney, Troy's
Civil Service Commission chairman.
The letter accompanied the
evaluation report of a Civil Service Department management
survey which the Commission
recently reviewed and approved.
Commissioner Bahou noted that
it was the second consecutive
time that an evaluation report by
the management survey section
has rated the operations of the
Troy commission as excellent.
Mr. Bahou also commended
the Oneida Civil Service Commission for the same reasons.
Concef
Layoffs
CSNTRAL 1ST .TP—^A plan to
lay off 16 employees at the
Downstate Distribution Center at
Central Islip Psychiatric Center
has been cancelled after negotiations by the Civil Service Employees Assn., Danny Donohue,
president of the Central IsUp
Local, said last week.
The state, however, planned to
Ukf off one provisional worker.
The negotiations were conducted by Jack Eagan, delegate
at the dUtxibuUon,
Under state order, both Nassau
and Suffolk Counties started alcholism counseling programs sev'eral years ago. But the Nassau
and Suffolk CSEA locals withheld full support and participation until the local governments promised and guaranteed
full confidentiality and Job security to participating employees.
To show CSEA support, Irving
Flaumenbaum, president of the
Long Island Region, and James
Corbin, president of Suffolk Local 52, appeared on a May 19
conference panel Jointly sponsored by the two counties to
kick off services for both government and private industry on
Long Island. Mercedes McCambridge, the actress, was moderator at the conference.
In Nassau County the program
is the Employees Counseling
Service and is conducted by the
Department of Drug and Alchohol Addiction. In Suffolk, the
Employees Assistance Program is
conducted by the Coimty Health
Department.
Using the motto. "An employee
is a valuable asset. It Is more
expensive to fire an employee
than to rehabilitate him," the
program is aimed at employees
whose personal problems are beginning to show on the Job and
to threaten their future.
County programs have instructed supervisors to spot the
alcoholic worker. "We train them
to diagnose job performance, not
human behaviour," says Kevin
Murray, director of the Suffolk
program.
The treatment is confidential
and does not carry a threat to
Job security. Saving the Job is
the motivating factor for the
employer, says Mr. Miuray. The
programs have a broad range of
professional counseling services.
Officials in both counties
claim a rehabilitation rate of
from 40 to 70 percent. Psychological and family counseling solutions are recommended for most
alcoholic employees but the balance may be referred to'private
institutions at county expense.
Brunswick House, a Long Island hospital specializing in psychological and alcoholic disease
is fully covered by civil service
medical benefits.
GO TO HEALTH
By WILLIAM R. WILLIFORD
Mr. WilUford is a health and alcohol consultant with the State
Division of Alcoholism and directs the State Employee Health
Maintenance Program.
The following recipe has been tested and approved by millions
of gasping and overweight Americans:
Combine the following ingredients daily:
• 20-40 cigarettes (vary according to taste)
• six plus ounces of alcohol
• one cup saturated animal fat
• one pound of carbohydrates (refined sugar is best)
• plenty of salt (the more the better)
• top off with a few diet and/or sleeping pills
Mix well in one average middle-aged adult. Allow to ferment
for 10 to 15 years and be sure not to exercise while fermentation
is in process. Body is "done in" when center no longer springs
back to the touch.
Hoping that you have not been done in by the preceding
recipe, let us explore what else you can do to collect that life
insurance policy earlier than expected.
Overeat—be sure to get prosperous looking and plump (for even
10 percent overweight after age 35 may reduce one's life expectancy by five years).
Never Exercise—use your car to visit the neighbors across the
street. Better yet, decide to run a mile when the most strenuous
exercise you have for the past two years has been a brisk walk
to the refrigerator.
Drive Yourself hard and don't take time for recreation or vacation. Live stressfully, push, drive, fight all day and most of all
don't trust anybody.
And never get involved, interested, and enthused about new
projects and ideas. Don't help others, think only of yourself.
Remember it is not that important to play, talk and relax
together as a family. And why listen to your kids when you can
preach to them? Communication and respect between family members isn't really that Important . . . Is it?
And always take yourself very seriously. Never admit your own
faults and weaknesses. You'll be sure to have many close friends.

Seriously, communicable diseases do not rank as the leading
killers In our society today. In their place, we are faced with new
antagonists: diseases caused by aging, by our sedentary way of
life, by nutritional excesses and dietary fads, by urbanization, by
cigarette smoking and by overconsumption of alcohol.
Many of our current causes of disease and death reflect our
life-style which Is the unique pattern of our dally life. Unfortunately,
millions of Americans never think about their health imtU frightening signs or symptoms propel them to seek emergency treatment.
The health education movement that Is growing in this country
Is attempting to do something about our lack of concern for good
health practices. The theme of this movement is prevention. The
end result?—a population of people engaged In healthy behavior, not
because they fear dying, but because they respect and enjoy living.

MOST OF THE PEOPLE IN MY
OFFICE OELONO TO COEA
ISN'T THAT
The Strength of CSEA is in UNITY. The Unity of all
public employees covered in CSEA's bargaining units.
The goal of those who would destroy the rights and
benefits for which you've worked so hard is to divide
and conquer. They would like to see department
against department, office against office and unit
against unit.
While CSEA is the most powerful public employee
union in the country today, there is much more to
be done to give public employees a fair shake. And
the only way we will all succeed is with unity.
That's why it's so important for you to make every
effort to sign up non-members in CSEA. We must
show them that their future is on the line, too. CSEA
needs their'ideas, their participation, and their votes.
EVERY ONE COUNTS!
During our membership drive, for each new member
you sign up in CSEA, you'll get a $5 Cash Award.
The Cash Award rules are easy.
1. You must be a member in good standing.
2. The new member you sign up must be on the
payroll for a minimum of four (4) biweekly pay
periods or equivalent.
3. New members must work in a governmental unit
represented k^y CSEA.
4. There is no limit to the number of new members
you can sign up. Of course, you'll get the $5
Cash Award for each one.
See your Chapter or Unit president for special sign-up
cards.
We've come a long way —but there's a long way still
to go. United as one, we'll get there!

The New York Insurance Department
approved last year's rate Increase for
the Accident and Health plan on a temporary basis. They want The Travelers
this fall to bring its premiums Into accordance with their new guidelines concerning disability relationships.
Exhibit I contains the proposed changes
in the premiums which The Travelers
has submitted to the Insurance Department in order to satisfy the Department's
new guidelines. It should be noted that
we are not proposing an overall premium
increase at this time but, rather, a redistribution of premiums which more
equitably reflects the actual experience
of the case. In other words, the bottomline premium received by the Travelers
will not change because of this revision.
In Exhibit n , you will see that approximately 61'72 percent of the policyholders
will get a rate decrease, while 38 Vi percent will get an increase.
Exhibit i n shows the maximum ratio
of female to male rates which the New
York Insurance Department considers appropriate. It also shows the ratio of
female rates to male rates in our current and proposed schedules. Note that
the current ratios are at some points
below the New York guidelines; at other
points they are above. Even though they
may be generally within the guidelines
on an overall basis, they must be changed
to conform with the ten-year age groups
that New York specifies. The rates contained in our proposed premium schedule
reflect the actual experience of the
CSEA Disability Program. You will see
that they are also within the New York
guidelines.
Finally, in Exhibit IV, you will see
the maximum possible impact on individual premiums. Policyholders under age
30, shown at the top of the Exhibit, will
have the largest premium decrease. Those
over age 59, shown at the bottom, have
the largest premium Increase. The effect
on most people will be somewhere between these two.
While this change Is now being made
because of the Insurance Department's
requirements, we expect it will also put
our premiums on a more equitable basis
and will make the program more attractive to potential CSEA members at
the younger ages.
NOTICE
This note is added to this material by
the Insurance Committee of CSEA. The
purpose is to caution that the premium rates contained in this attachment have not been approved by the
State Insurance Department as of
March 1, 1977. This report had to be
printed and sent to chapters and
delegates as soon as possible. Information will be given at the Delegate
Meeting as to whether or not these
rates have been acted upon by the
Insurance Department by the Delegate Meeting date.

York State.
The survey, comprising a fourpage questionnaire sent to more
than 2,000 local officials, was designed to assist Cuomo's Bureau
of Management Services in developing technical assistance programs for the
governmental
imits.
About a third of the officials,
representing a cross-section of
the 930 towns, 57 counties, 61
cities and 557 villages In the
state outside New York City, returned questionnaires.
Financial matters In general
were of unanimous concern to
the respondents but labor costs
was singled out by the largest
across-the-board number of o f f i cials, 12.4 percent. On the county
level, 21.9 percent of the respondents designated social services
as a pressing problem. Among
city officials, 14.1 percent picked
enforcement of the Taylor Law
(barring strikes by public e m ployees) as a key issue. Labor
costs received the highest percentage at the town and village
levels, 12.3 and 13.4 percent respectively.
Brothers had sufficiently recovered to return to work, the Labor
Department was required to o f fer some "rationalization or basis
for distinction" In deciding that
she was not entitled to have her
old job back.
Judge Stecher Issued his decision after the former employee
sued to overturn the department's refusal to rehire her. Ms.
Brothers relied upon a psychiatric evaluation from one doctor
who found her recovered and
able to perform her duties again.
But a second psychiatrist said
she "was not sufficiently recovered to return to her position on
a permanent basis."
What the court said violated
the employee's job rights was
the failure of this psychiatrist to
Inform the department that another psychiatrist had reached
a completely opposite conclusion.
"Where there is a rational
basis for the determination of
an administrative body, the court
may not substitute Its judgment
for that determination," Judge
Stecher said. "Where, however,
as here, the administrative body's
own experts are In disagreement,
It may not arbitrarily choose one
and not the other without any.
much less any adequate, rationalization or basis for distinction
between those opinions."
What may also prove helpful
to the former employee at the
new court-ordered hearing are
two additional medical reports
favorable to her. One Is from
her own psychiatrist, who said
she "is well able to perform the
duties of her position creditably."
The second Is f r o m a departmental doctor—not a psychiatrist
—who also found her able to resume work.
James Corbin, Welfare Fund
chairman and Suffolk CSEA
chapter president, said it was
understood to be the first prepaid legal plan for the Long Island area and the first for CSEA.
The plan represents the third
i m p r o v e m e n t in welfare benefits
for Suffolk County employees
since thte fund was established
Jan. 1, 1976, say union leaders.
"This broadens the benefits
provided," Mr. Corbin said.
The new service provides lawyers for defense against civil
suit, separation, divorce or a n nulment;
adoption;
personal
bankruptcy; veterans benefits;
change of name; purchase or
sale of homes or foreclosure action. There are provisions for up
to three consultations a year.
T h e plan also provides for a
reduced fees schedule to be paid
by the member. For example,
adoption consultations will be
free and the maximum fee for
preparing all documents and appearing in coiut for an adoption
proceeding will be $125.
The homeowner benefit provides for free consultation and
a total fee of $120 on the purchase or sale of a home. Private
attorneys frequently charge 1
percent, or $400 on a $40,000
home.
Other services are provided
under similarly restricted fees.
Mirkin, Barre, Saltzstein and
Gordon, of Great Neck, Hauppauge and Patchogue will represent union members under the
plan.
Steven Gordon, a partner in
the firm. Is chairman of the State
Bar Association subcommittee on
prepaid legal services.
Mr. Corbin said arrangements
were being made to provide similar services in Riverhead.
T h e welfare fund was established under t h e CSEA county
contract. It also provided a higher rate of dental coverage than
before. Since its start, the fund
has added a will benefit, maternity coverage, a second Improvement of dental coverage and optical and hearing-aid benefits.

CSEA Claims Major Legislative Successes
ALBANY — As the State
Legislature begins its annual
"Rush to Adjournment," possibly by June 30, many of the
ta
a
3
bills that will eventually become
law have not yet been printed.
But the Civil Service Employees
Assn. can claim several major
successes in legislation it has
backed, and is still pushing hard
for the passages of still other
bills on behalf of its 230,000
members.
"Revisions are expected in
some major pieces of legislation
that we're backing, and we're
still waiting to see some Governor's program bills that have
not yet been printed," said
CSEA's director of legislation
and political action, Bernard J.
Ryan.
One example is the Agency
newed for a specific number of
years.
As recently as one month ago,
the Agency Shop bill was considered to be "dead," Mr. Ryan
said. "But then, through the e f forts of the CSEA and all other
public-employee imions, it has
now come closer than ever to
being a reality." The bill has
number S5370, and is expected
to be reported out of committee
Shop Bill, which has passed the
Assembly and, at Leader presstime, was in Sen. Richard E.
Schermerhorn's Senate
Civil
Service Committee. It is now
possible that the bill will be
amended to put a two-year limit
on its provisions, and that, after
it has been in effect for the
first two years, it would be reviewed by the Legislature and
either made permanent or re-

"We assume that the language
of the memorandum of understanding will be the foundation
of the bill," Mr. Ryan said. "The
state workers should receive
their retroactive raises within
one or two pay periods of the
day it passes."
With the passage of a Supplemental Pension bill, the union
will achieve improvements in the
financial situation of retirees.
CSEA lobbyists have been negotiating with legislative leaders,
and are now optimistic that there
will be cost-of-living increases
for those who left public e m ployment in New York State before the advent of the improved
pension plans and higher salaries
of the '70's, according to Mr.
Ryan.
Another bill that is pending
would
establish
a
state-run
Safety and Health Inspection
Program for employees of the
state and its political subdivisions.
"This would be the first step
toward restoring the excellent
state-administered program that
existed before the feds took it
over some years ago," Mr. Ryan
said. The bill has no number yet,
but negotiations are going on
with the leadership of both
houses of the legislature, both
by CSEA and other public-employee unions.
More than 30 different bills
extending veterans' benefits have
been filed this session, all aimed
at providing retirement credit
to certain classifications of veterans who have been left out of
previous laws. CSEA is lobbying
in both houses to get a compromise bill passed. The last bill
extending veterans' benefits a f fected only veterans of World
War II, and those veterans In
order to be eligible for the benefits had to have been honorably
discharged; have been public
employees in New York State
before World War n and have
returned to residence in New
York State after the war; and
have resumed public employment
in the state after the war.
