Carey Signs Agency Shop Into Law
ALBANY—The news media
referred to it as "labor day
in August" while Civil Service Employees Assn. officials
were calling it one of the highlights of a very successful legislative program. It was Wednesday, August 3, and Gov. Hugh
L. Carey put his signature to
several key bills supported heavily by CSEA and other labor
unions.
One of the major bills signed
was the long-sought agency shop
legislation for which CSEA had
fought for years, joining this
year in a coalition of public
employee unions for an all-out
campaign that ended in success.
The bill, which becomes effective in early September, provides
that non-members who still reap
the benefits of union representation, must pay to that union
the equivalent of union dues annually to help offset the cost of
representation of all employees
within the bargaining unit involved.
Under the bill, the agency
shop concept is applied automatically to state employees and
becomes a negotiable item for
bargaining involving all other
public employees in the state.
In addition, certain counties
where the CSEA already represents the employees have "trigger" clauses extending the concept automatically when it becomes effective for state workers.

dignitaries. In photo above, Assembly Speaker Stanley Steingut is thanked by Mr.
McGowan for his role in helping gain bipartisan support for bill, which provides
that non-union members pay their fair share for benefits achieved through democratic bargaining process.

MANHATTAN—The evacuation of more than 100,000
people from Manhattan office buildings because of
bomb threats last week is a
well-known fact by now.
But many state employees
whose offices are in the World
Trade Center—one of the buildings evacuated—may still be curious about whether last Wednesday's four-hour work day will be
deducted from their annual leave
time, as was the day of the
blackout.
According to Thomas Gibbs,
assistant director for the Governor's Office of Employee Relations, which negotiates statewide contracts, it won't.
Mr. Gibbs said a clause in
state employees' contracts provides that he, "Who has reported for duty, and because of extraordinary circumstances beyond his control, other than
those related to weather conditions, is directed to leave work,
shall not be required to charge
such directed absences during
such day. against leave credits."
Why will this time not be deducted from annual leave, but
the day of the blackout will?
It appears that one must first
show up for work, and then be
ordered to leave. In the case of
the blackout, although employees were directed not to come to
work, they were held responsible

MANHATTAN—Overcrowding and excessively noisy conditions existing in the Social Services Dept. on the 29th

Governor Signs Agency Shop Into Law
(Continaed from Pa^e 1)
In a related development,
CSEA has scheduled a special
delegates meeting for August 17
in Syracuse to change the union's constitution and by-laws to
comply with the new state law
pertaining to agency shop.
Another major CSEA supported piece of legislation signed
August 3 by Uie Governor was an
ommibus bill providing for an increase in imemployment insurance and workmen's compensation benefits that, in addition,
provides for payment of unemployment insurance benefits to
non-teaching school district employees if the negotiated agreement between the union and the
employer does not specifically
guarantee reemployment after
vacation or holiday periods. The
CSEA represents thousands of
non-teaching school district employees across the state and has
pushed very hard to achieve this
legislation.
CSEA president William L.
McGowan was among top labor
leaders in the state personally
invited by the Crovernor to attend the formal bill signing cere-
mony in the Capitol on August
3. The Governor presented Mr.
McGowan with one of the pens
he used to sign the impK)rtant
labor legislation, strongly sup-
ported by the CSEA.
In signing the bills important
to labor and the working people.
Gov. Carey said the legislation
he signed would promote labor-
management harmony and he
praised public employees for
bearing the brunt of flnancial
problems the state incurred In
recent years.

GO TO HEALTH
BJR WILLIAM B. WILUFORD
Mr. WilUferd is a health and alcohol consultant with the New
T*rk State Dirision of Alcoholism and directs the New York State
Envloyee Health Service Health Maintenance Program.
If you drink, have you ever wondered whether you consume more
than the aven«e drinker? You do if you drank more than 928 bottles
of beer or 44 fifths of whiskey last year.
Actually there is no such thing as the "average" drinker. The
average I refer to is based on the tax-paid
alcoholic beverages consumed 'in 1970 by the
two in three adults in the United States who
drink. Computed daily, the average U.S. drinker
downs three ounces of whiskey a day, or its
equivalent which could be one cocktail, one glass
of wine and a bottle of beer.
However, it should be stressed that roughly
90 per cent of the people who "indulge" do not
drink on a daily basis as much as previously
Indicated. The average male drinker consumes
three times as much as the average female
drinker, and the average alcoholic consumes about 11 times as much
as the average nonalcoholic who happens to drink. Consequently, the
9 million alcoholics distort upward the statistical average and can
give a false sense of security to one concerned about their drinking hahit.
So how do you know if you are drinking too much and headed
for trouble? According to the Addiction Research Foundation, dally
consumpti(xi in excess of six beers or six mixed drinks or a quart
of table wine may lead to a wide variety of alcohol problems and
has been labeled "hazardous" in the alcohol literature.
Because we are all unique, the nimibers game of coimting drinks
has its weaiuiesses. The best indicator is to ask yourself if your
drinking causes problems. If the answer is "yes," then you are drinking too much and just possibly you shouldn't drink at all.
For answers to specific questions about alcohol abuse and alcoholism. and for local lists of treatment facilities, write to: National
Clearingiiouse for Alcohol Information, Box 2345, Rockville, Maryland, 20852.

beneficiaries in the event of their
deaths.
Mrs. Sarah R. Sedita learned
this lesson following the death
of her husband, Frank, in May,
1975, when the Albany A^iellate Division upheld State Comptroller Arthur Levitt and refused
to grant her the full retirement
death benefits she normally
would have been entitled to.
Mrs. Sedita's problems stemmed
from the decision of her husband
to return to state employment in
April, 1973, as an appointed
member of the Crime Victims
Compensation Board. A month
earlier, he had retired as a member of the State Employees Retirement System.
But as the unanimous Appellate Division pointed out, when
he Joined the Crime Victims
Compensation Board, Mr. Sedita's
retirement benefits were suspended and he was required to
rejoin the Retirement System.
Thus, when he died, his widow
received the normal death benefits for any state employee, instead of what the court called the
more "substantial" amount given
to benefiiciaries of retired employees.
Mrs. Sedita brought a lawsuit
to recover the higher benefits.
Her main claim was tiuit her
husband, as a retired state employee. was not required to rejoin the Retirement System and
therefore orders that he do so
were invalid.
All five judges on the court rejected the argument, noting the
"clear language" of the State
Retirement and Social Security
Law which requires retired employees to rejoin the Retirement

choice but to award the widow
the regular death benefits which
go to all beneficiaries of on-thejob state employees.

Importance Of
Opinions
EDITORIALS usually express the collective opinion of a
d newspaper. The Leader often follows that tradition, and
we can rise in righteous indignation with the best of 'em.
It's just as likely, though, that a given editorial may be
designed to stir controversy, stimulate thinking or provoke
disagreement. That is part of the reason that Leader editorials, fot the past year, have carried initials to indicate
which staff editor is responsible for the viewpoint. Sometimes, even, the expressed view may not be a collective
opinion, although it would be written by the staff editor
most familiar with the subject being discussed.
For the same reason that we think it is good to stand
up and be counted as a newspaper staff composed of dedicated. hard-woridng journalists, we can appreciate the
feelings of civil service woikers.

It is all too common to throw low blows at civil servants' efforts to serve the public.
For one reason, they are exposed to public criticism
because it is taxpayer money that pays tor public services.
It is human nature, we sumxise, for an individual to regard
his small share of contribution toward the government's
funding as an excuse to think that everything the government does should be in keeping with his way of thinking.
Collective thinking, however, is expressed only periodically
at the ballot box, and in between is poorly defined by
"public (^jinion.**

Elections are an on-going process in America.
Many unions are in the process of determining their
leaders, or have recently completed their selections. This
year in New York, local government officials are laying
their careers on the line.
Among the unions, there have been some major changes
already this year. In the state. William McGowan defeated
five-term incumbent Theodore C. Wenzl for the presidency
of the (Tivil Service Employees Assn.
In New York City, in a personal rivalry reminiscent of
Willie Pep-Sandy Saddler featherweight boxing championship fights in the late '40's, Richard Vizzini regained the
presidency of the Uniformed Firefighters Assn. from Michael
Maye. Scored by rounds, it is now three wins for Maye and
two for Viazini.
In New York City, Buffalo, Albany and Nassau County,
the battles for elective office are among the most intense
within memory. The NYC race is characterized by seven
Democrats fighting for the right to face one of two Republican contend after the pprimaries are settled. Buffalo
voters almost need a scratch sheet to keep track of who's
in and who's out of the running from week to week.
Albany's Mayor Erastus Coming is facing a formidable
primary challenge from Senator Howard Nolan after years
of unchallengeable dominance. Nassau's County Executive
contest is beclouded by an internal party struggle to be
resolved by the voters.

Considering the amount of change that is obviously
taking place at all levels of our elected leadership, this might
well be a good time to start examining some of the sacred
cows that have controlled the actions of public employees
and government employers.

State Legislators
Hit Campaign Trail
For New Positions
As usual at this time of
year, some members of the
State Legislature are hitting
the campaign trail. These
legislators are entertaining the
h(q)e that with a lot of hard
work and a little bit of luck, they
will not have to return to Albany when the Legislatiure meet&
again for its regular session in
Januaiy.
Odd-numbered years are good
ones for legislators to make
their bid for higher public office,
A defeat is not fatal to their
political careers, since their consolation prize is retention of
their seats in either the State
Senate or Assembly.
Black Candidates
Among those hitting the campaign trail. Assemblyman Arthur
Eve is making a determined effort to win the Democrat nomination for mayor of Buffalo. Eve
has long been a fixtiu-e in Albany,
where he has been a leading figure in the Caucus of Black Legislators. If Eve makes it all the
way, he will be the first black
mayor in the State of New York,
unless he shares that honor
with Manhattan Borough President Percy Sutton, who is
making a determined bid for
election as mayor of New York
City.
At virtually the other end of
the state, in Nassau, Senator
Jdtm Dunne is in the midst of
a hot and bitter three-way race
for the Republican nomination
for Nassau County Executive.
Dunne is chairman of the Senate
Committee on Insurance and has
been the Legislature's most vigorous proponent of no-fault automobile insurance. He has also
been the sponsor of legislation
to expand the availability of legal
services to middle income persons through prepaid legal insurance plans.
If Dunne wins the Republican
primary, he might find himself
in a race with a legislative colleague,
Assemblyman
Irwin
Landes, who is entered in the
Democratic primary for Nassau
County Executive. lAndes, who
is chairman of the Assembly
Committee on Corporations and
Authorities, is a case history of
the role of lu(^ in an election.
It started out badly, when the
night before designating petitions were to be filed, Landes'
petitions disappeared. He collected the necessary petitions
(XI the final day.
Luck turned for the better
when the reports broke about
extravagant trips taken by members of the Port Authority. As
chairman' of the appropriate Assembly Committee, Landes has
attracted considerable media attention in his investigation of
travel practices of the Port Authority.
New York City Races
Two memliers of the Legislature are already in contention
for the Democratic nomination
for president of the City CouncU of New York City. One is
Senator Carol Bellamy, whose
district covers parts of both
Brooldyn and Manhattan. The
other is Assemblyman Leonard
Stavisky, who is chairman of
the Assembly Committee on Education. This is a four-way race

to obey the order of their shop foreman and of their commanding officer to take out the trash cans. Coe and McManus refused on the ground that they suffered from physical disabilities that did not permit them to lift the
trash receptacles. Gales refused on the basis that the tnudi
detail was not part of his duties as a mechanic.

•
AFTER A HEARING, each man was found guilty as
charged of two acts of insubordination, one with respect to
the foreman and one with respect to the commanding
officer. "Hie determination was handed down (m Oct. 8,1974.
Coe was fined five days' pay on the first specification and
ten days' pay for the second. Gales and McBianus were
each fined five days' pay on the first specification and
five days' pay on the second.
On Oct. 8, 1974, but apparently before petitioners Coe
and Gales, or the commanding officer, learned of the determination, and with the PERB hearing scheduled for
Oct. 10, 1974, they were again ordered by the shop supervisor and the commanding officer to perform the trash
detail. They refused and were suspended on the following
day, Oct. 9, 1974. On Oct. 11, the police commissioner asked
the executive director of the Nassau County Civil Service
Commission to render an opinion as to whether the lifting
of trash receptacles came within the related duties of the
positions of automotive body repairman and auto mechanic.
At their disciplinary hearings, both Coe and Gales were
found guilty as charged of two acts of insubordination, one
with respect to the shop supervisor and the other with
respect to the commanding officer, on two specifications,
and dismissed from the employ of the county.

ON APPEAL OF THESE dismissals to the Appellate
Division, Second Department, this court upheld the findings of insubordination against Coe and Gales as "supported by substantial evidence." However, it stated farther
that:
" "It was arbitrary and unreasonable to determine that they
were guilty of two charges and specifications and to punish them
for two offenses for each day on wliich they refused to perform
the trash detail."
The court noted that since the trash was only removed
once a day, refusals on any single day only constituted
one incident of insubordination. The court ruled that a

NEWS & FACTS
By PAMELA CRAIG
•QUESTION
The Police Department
plans to institute use of one-man cars in certain
areas of New York City. Do you think there are advantages to this?
THE PLACE
Foley Square. Manhattan
Ralph Bova, court officer: 'No. There have been
countless cases of a partner
saving his partner's life by being there to back him up. If
you take away the back-up
partner, many policemen will
lose their lives. What if the
patrolman is too injured to call
for help? I really feel that
more police cars are not effective weapons against crime.
I feel it's the manpower that
reduces crime and when an incident happens, there will be reduced manpower
and increased cars. What can a car do without
its driver? If they plan to Implement this, I hope
they work out an effective piggy-back system,"
Kevin Mahoney, court officer: "I believe there are
advantages because it makes for
more visability on the streets.
I also feel that two cars can
cover more ground than one
car with two men in it. I believe it will cut down response
time of the police to calls or
incidents, yet to be successful
there must be an excellent backup system. The system whereby
another car would be responding to an incident at the same
time is working well in other parts of the United
States. It's an essential part of the system and
without a perfect backup buddy system, there are
no advantages."
Sam Friedlander, senior court officer: "I'm In
favor of it, using comparable
situations in other cities. It's
important to place more men
in the high-crime areas and
this will give the city available
men for that purpose. It has
been used successfully in suburban areas and in low-crime
areas. The mechanics would be
worked out by the police department so the system would
be instituted in low-crime areas.
This is not a reckless or haphazard approach. It
should be flexible whereby changes can be made
to benefit the needs of other areas as the need
arrives."
Tom Leddy, senior court officer: "I'm in favor
of this system on a limited basis
in the low-crime areas to start.
The advantage is visability. I
feel visability is a deterrent to
crime and having more blueand-whites on the street and in
view will help to deter certain
types of crime. This system, of
course. Is feasible if the backup buddy system is also implemented. This requires the
police department to work out
logistically related problems inherent in any complicated system. Another way to add manpower
to the force might be for the drivers of the captains to drive patrol cars instead."
Philip Reese, parking enforcement attendant:
"The only advantage I see is
the city saving some money.
I can't see any advantages to
the citizens of the city by cutting the manpower from certain areas. There are no advantages to the policeman
when there is a threat to his
bodily harm. There are very
few precincts where the crime
is low enough to allow for the
one-man cars anyway. I'm
against a system like this where the lack of
advantages outweighs the advantages, especially
when my safety as a citizen is concerned."
GeofRe Holmes, senior court officer: "I think that
' in a city the size of New York,
with its dense population, it is
highly impractical. We pay a
police force to protect life and
property, not to duel one-onone against the lawbreaker.
Due to the traffic conditions in
the city, a backup unit might
never arrive in time to save
the life of the lone police officer. The success in other cities
is due to the open areas where
the patrolman might know most of the people in
the vicinity."

Dear Joe:
On behalf of the members of
the Court of Claims Local, I
would like to thank you for your
participation in the picketing
that took place while our negotiations were at impasse.
As you know, the picketing
took place on the same day we
entered into mediation, and, consequently, I was unable to be on
the picket line. However, I understand you were able to bring
along many other local officers
and members, from the downtown area, to support the mem-
bers of my local in their first
effort at picketing. I hope you
will extend our thanks to these
people also. My members were
especially impressed by the fact
that although these outside people had nothing at stake, they
acted in a true spirit of unionism.
Once again, thanks to you for
your help in organizing and participating. Thanks to the others
for their time, support, and
presence.

How To Increase Retirement Benefits
(Continued from previous week)
If you work In a job covered
by social security after retirement. you pay social security
taxes Just as any other worker
does.
And, your earnings after retirement may increase the
amount of the retirement benefit for future years. Here's how
it could happen.
Your social security payment is
based on your average annual
earnings over a period of years.
This means that if you continue
to work and make more than
you have in the past, as Is often
true, your recent annual earnings can replace earlier years of
low or no earnings in figuring
your benefit amount.
If you're under 7a and work
after you retire, it's Important
to let social security know if you
expect to earn more than $3,000
in 1977. This way your benefits
can be withheld while you are
working and you won't get payments that will have to be paid
back later. If you stop working
later or find that your earn-

LAKE GEORGE—The weekend workshop of Capital Region IV of the Civil Service Employees Assn.. held during June
at the Sagamore Hotel, Lake
George, culminated with the publication of a member-produced
newsletter covering events of the
weekend and including other articles of Interest to public employees.
Region president Joseph McDermott called the workshop a
unique concept in that all meetings were related to the same
general topic, .public relations
and communications. "The attempt was to inform the members about the process of public
relations so that they could develop an effective tool for promoting the business of their
units and locals," Mr. McDermott said.
Production of the weekend's
newsletter was carried out under
the direction of the Region's
public relations head, Dan Campbell, who arranged a series of
meetings designed to stimulate
interest in the various facets of
communications about which
members of the public employees
union should be informed.
On Saturday morning the
members gathered to hear Roger
Cole, statewide director of CSEA
public relations, talk about the
purpose and problems of public
relations.
Richard
Bursteln,
CSEA lawyer with the firm
Roemer and Peatherstonhaugh,
discussed the implications of
libel and slander laws for public
employees interested in developing newsletters and other publications.
With the help of an overhead
projector, Mr. Campbell then
used slides to demonstrate the
do's and don'ts of newsletter layout. He ended his talk by asking the members to separate into
groups that would concentrate
on different topics for newsletter
articles.

County Legislature
Grants $500 Bonus
To Warren Workers
LAKE GEORGE—A successful picketing, telephoning and advertising campaign organized by the Civil
Service Employees Assn. in
ren Coimty is believed to have
convinced the Legislature to approve a $550 bonus in the contract it was requested to Impose
when the county maintained
that it would grant a "zero pay
increase and no benefits."
CSEA members picketed the
county offices before and after
work hours and during lunch
houi-s telephoned legislative offices, and published ads in local
papers in an attempt to make
the legislators and taxpayers
aware of their problems. The
CSEA mobile unit, maintained by
the Capital Region, was sent in
to provide information and advice throughout the campaign.
In addition to the bonus, the
county has agreed to increase its
share of health insurance payments from 50 percent to 75 percent.
An identical county sheriff's
contract also Included a $400
differential for female correctional officers who bear an increased workload, and granted
time and a half for overtime.
Praising members for participation in the campaign, Daniel
Jinks, collective bargaining specialist for CSEA Region IV, commented, "Employee interest and
presentations made at the hearing caused the employer to reevaluate his position and to reflect on his final offer."

topics, members worked individually on their articles, which
were submitted to Mr. Campbell
by the 4 pjn. Saturday deadline.
He set up a press room on the
ground floor of the hotel, and
edited the articles as they were
submitted. Denlse Futia and
Michele Costello, Region IV staff
secretaries, typed the copy into
columns, which Mr. Campbell
layed out on pages. Late Saturday afternoon the material went
to a Lake George printer.

The program Sunday morning was a round-table discussion on oere
the "Public Image of Public Employees" moderated by Capital e
Region public relations director Dan Campbell. Participants discussed the presentation of the public employee image by union
public relations, the Leader, and outside media. From left are

"Communication efforts, concise writing, positive public

individual member."
JOSEPH McDERMOTT
"Hopefully, you can use the
knowledge you gained to aid you
in all future communication/
public relations situations."
Sunday morning's meeting,
chaired by Mr. Campbell, was
titled "Public Image of Public
Employees." Panel members were
Albany radio news director Glen
Withiam, Leader Capital correspondent Deborah Cassidy, and
Leader associate editor Kenneth
Schept.
Earl Kilmartin, president of OGS Local 660, and Margaret Hoag,
also of that Local, listen to Dan Campbell on Saturday morning
as he explains the procedure to be used for producing a newsletter. Each member was assigned a topic and was responsible for
developing a related news article.
The discussion focused on describing how and why CSEA
news is reported differently, by
the regional public relations department, by the Leader, and by
an independent news station. Mr.
Canapbell explained the import-
ance of developing regular media coverage of union activities
and views since the main alternative, paid advertising, was prohibitively expensive.
Mr. Withiam said that part of
his Job was to distinguish between a solid news story smd
other union promotional efforts
that Mr. Campbell tries to convince him are solid news stories.
Ms. Cassidy explained that it was
her goal to help expand the coverage of the Region in the Leader.
Mr. Schept discussed the prob-

lems of publishing union news
during periods of internal union
debate, such as during the recent
contract negotiations, when the
members' right to know facts
must be balanced against the
reality that the newspaper is also
read by those with whom the
union is negotiating.
"I think the workshop was a
success," Mr. McDermott said.
"I think the members learned
something about communications and produced a newsletter
of which I'm proud."

AND W E ' U PUT
The CSEA new membership drive is in full swing and
now's the time for you to get off your duff and sign
up non-members. With each new member you bring
into the CSEA fold, you get five bucks cash! And
there's no limit to how many new members (at five
bucks each!) you can sign up.
But you've got even more than five bucks riding on
the CSEA membership drive. The blunt truth is that
the more public employees who belong to CSEA the
stronger we all become. The opposition doesn't want
to see us united because they know that our strength
is in unity. With all of us on the same side we all
will get the fair shake we deserve.
It's up to each one of us in CSEA to strongly impress
every non-member that our fight is also the fight of
every public employee in New York. And that if we
don't work t o g e t h e r —as equal and p a r t i c i p a t i n g
members—our future goals will be harder to reach.
So, if you're a member in good standing, get going
and sign up your fellow workers who are non-members
in CSEA. See your Chapter or Unit president for
special sign-up cards which have all the necessary
information. The five-dollar cash award is yours with
each new member you sigh up but more importantly,
with every new member in CSEA, you are helping to
insure the future. For all of us.

Court: Union May Not Require
School Boards To Pay Raises
As Parties Bargain New Accord
By MARTIN FOX
MANHATTAN—For the second time in three months, teachers unions have been told
by the courts that they cannot require school boards to pay salary increases under expired collective bargaining agreements while negotiations continue for a new contract.
The latest setback came late last month from the Brooklyn Appellate Division involving the Wandanch Teachers
Assn. in Suffolk County. A iman- well. As a result, the school board was a violation of the terms of
imous four-Judge court ruled the won its appeal to upset a lower the expired contract.
In ruling that no issue expayment of salary increases un- court ruling which ordered arder expired contracts was invalid bitration of a union grievance isted for arbitrators to decide,
even if the contracts contained claiming failure to pay increases the court pointed out that salthis provision.
The ruling was not surprising,
since two months earlier the
State Court of Appeals had
handed down a similar finding,
reversing the State Public Employment Relations Board in a
case involving Rockland County
teachers, where the PERB had
said the school board must pay
.salary increases during negotiations for a new contract, and
not to do so was a violation
of the duty to bargain in good
faith.
ary increases could always be
negotiated on a retroactive basis.
The union wanted the raises to
be paid as of last Sept. 1, the
day after the expiration of a
three-year contract.
What brought the case into
court was the language of a section stating that in the event
a new contract is not reached
before the old one expires, "all
terms of the present contract
and all working conditions will
remain in effect until the successor contract or provisions
have been entered into."
The Brooklyn court, in emphasizing it was bound by the
State Court of Appeals decision
in the Rockland teachers case,

Teachers: May Have Wide Effect
ruled invalid and contrary to
"public policy" any attempt to
compel the payment of increments under an expired contract
even though that contract is
deemed for other purposes, to
continue in effect."

year. In addition, they attempted
to revoke the Christmas and New

Ideal care, said Mr. Spoor,

State officials are claiming
that Pilgrim's population will decline by 408 over the coming
year as patients die or are
placed in community mental hygiene facilities.
"The community facilities do
not exist. The State is trying to
reduce its budget during an election year by dumping helpless
patients into communities that
do not want them. They are
playing politics with human
lives," Mr. Flaumenbaum said.
The CSEA is planning meetings with other concerned groups,
including the Federation of Parents and civic associations to fight
the dumping and employee cuts,
Mr. Flaumenbaum added.
