Non-Secretaries
Of Albany Jail
Form CSEA Unit
ALBANY—In an unprecedented move in October,
Capital Region IV of the
Civil Service Employees Assn.
has agreed to form a collective
bargaining unit representing 20
non-secretarial employees of the
Albany County Jail.
William
Lochner,
regional
field representative, explained
that the CSEA does not normally represent such small sectors
of a work location. In this case,
secretarial employees are represented by the American Federation of State, County and Municipal Employees while the supervisory personnel are represented by the Teamster's union.
The CSEA, however, received
a request from the 20 employees
stating that they were 100 percent in favor of representation
by the CSEA.
Explaining the exception, Mr.
Lochner commented, "When a
unit shows that kind of need
you cannot turn them down. We
already represent other parts of
Albany County and, therefore, felt
a moral commitment to these
employees.
Approval must still be got from
the Public Employment Relations
Board.

PEN MIGHTIER THAN SWORD
There are those who believe that State Senator John Flynn,
who sponsored the Agency Shop lUll in the Senate, is the best
friend that civi! servants have in the Legislature. Civil Service
Employees Assn. vice-president James Lennon. who lives in
Senator Flynn's district, is one of those people. Perhaps that
is why the Senator presented a pen that was used to sign the
Bill to CSEA president William McGowan during a workshop
last month sponsored for members of the unon's Southern Region III. headed by Mr. Lennon. From left are Mr. McGowan.

Women victims...

of alcoholism...'

-a
Yes, caught.. .inescapably trapped.. .lonely.. .frightened, confused and secretly
desperate. Perhaps she's a troubled housewife.. .a fearful mother.. .a pressured
teenager.. .or a burdened business woman no longer youthful.. .an unneeded
grandparent.. .sister.. .sweetheart.. .somebody's someone—someone trapped
within today s Number Three Killer-Disease.
She drinks too much.. .too fast and too often?, .and all too soon—it will be too late.
Can this tragic person be you-or perhaps a someone you know well?
Well, whoever—there's help and there's hope for her now.
We of Brunswick House have developed a very special program to meet the very
special needs of the woman problem drinker. She is treated primarily by women
professionals who have the sympathetic understanding that only a woman can have
of another.. .understanding of those sensitive feminine attitudes that make women
victims of alcoholism so very different from men.
While Brunswick House continues to advance its already outstanding reputation
for the effective treatment of problem drinkers, we now extend a weteome to that
type of woman whose drinking problems are out of the ordinary.
Supported by the professional expertise of specialized personnel throughout our
five completely accredited hospitals, the new women's residential treatment program
is so unique that there's no other like it—anywhere. Further, we are approved by
Blue Cross, Medicare, and most major medical health insurance plans.
So, no matter who she is.. .what she does.. .or wherever she lives.. .immediate
help and hope are just a phone call away at:
(516) 264-5000/Extension 361.
And call anytime—24-hours, seven days weekly.

Exclusively On Merit
CITY'S Board of Examiners, now about 70
NEWyearsYORK
old, recently underwent what we believe is a
welcome and refreshing addition.
The board, which came about because of the corruption
scandals of the Boss Tweed era in New York City about the
turn of the century, is set up to test prospective teachers
and other hopefuls for posts in the school system. In other
words, winning jobs with the schools these days is to be
based on Merit rather than on who you know in high places,
as was the method during Boss Tweed's heyday.
Jack Bloomfield, a former Leader columnist and former
junior high school principal with a good track record in both
areas, seemed to be taking note of these matters in his remarks during his installation as the newest member of the
examiners board a few weeks ago. Dr. Bloomfield spoke of
the difficulties in creating tests that truly and objectively
examine a job applicant's ability and talent, thus giving city
students the best possible teachers.
Those are strong and noble words, indeed. But, we believe them to be sincere ones.
Although the Merit System is not without blemishes,
we certainly believe in it in spirit and substance. It is
not the system itself that makes complicated propositions
work, but the people assigned to administer the systems.
That is why we hail Dr. Bloomfield's appointment and wish
him and his new colleagues well. City schools, and most importantly the children they seek to serve, will be the true
benefactors of any successes they win.
(H.A.T.)
D a y Without Pay
E are reminded of a story told to us in the fourth grade
W
about a little boy who never did anything he was told
not to do.
One day he stuck a lot of beans up his nose and was
in great pain. When asked why he had done something so
stupid, he replied that no one had ever told him not to.
The moral of the story was "to use common sense."
When you are old enough to be trusted with the government of a state or of a large institution, that lesson should
have long-ago been learned.
What comes to mind immediately is the snow crisis in
the northern and the western parts of the state last winter
and the blackout in the New York City Metropolitan area
last summer.
In both these instances, the State Administration refused to pay workers for time lost during the crises, although
they were told by local mayors to stay home. (We make
note here that the Administration refused, since the Legislature approved pay for the snow crisis, but the measure
was vetoed by the Governor.)
Another instance of arbitrary behavior is to be found
at the State University of New York at Albany, where employees are to be forced to take the day after Thanksgiving
off by charging the time against accrued leave. If the leave
is exhausted, then it's a day without pay.
The lesson to be learned is a simple one: Unless every
single "If, and or but" is covered in a contract, management
will find a loophole and slip it around the workers' necks.
Whatever happened to common sense, much less common decency?
(M.O.B.)
State Legislature
Is Proving Ground
For Higher Office
The State Legislature has
traditionally served as a
proving ground for aspiring
politicians.
Such notable New York political leaders as Franklin D. Roosevelt, Gk)v. Alfred E. Smith,
and Senator Robert P. Wagner
received their first training In
government and politics in the
state Legislature.
In the past election, as usual,
a number of legislators were
tempted to try for higher office,
and some succeeded.
The Poll That Counts
In the western part of the
state, Senator James Griffin, a
maverick Democrat, was elected
Mayor of Buffalo on the Conservative Party ticket. Earlier, he
had lost the Democratic primary
to Assemblyman Arthur Eve.
Early polls conducted by a Buffalo newspaper tapped Assemblyman Eve as the likely winner,
which would have made him the
first black mayor of a major city,
in the state. However, Griffin
won the only poll that counts, the
one taken in the privacy of election booths.
In New York City, Senator
Carol Bellamy scored an easy
victory In her race for City Council President. Senator Bellamy
had previously established an
enviable record as a bright and
hardworking legislator. She did a
particularly useful job as chairman of the Senate Democratic
Task Force on New York City
Affairs.
Senator Bellamy becomes the
first woman on the city's Board
of Estimate. This automatically
places her In the top ranks of
women public officials In the
state.
In Manhattan, Assemblyman
Andrew Stein frustrated the pollsters by scoring a relatively easy
triumph over Councilman Robert
F. Wagner, Jr.. In the race for
Manhattan Borough President.
When it became evident that
Koch would be elected Mayor,
Interest In the City shifted completely to what was regarded by
the press as the hot race between
Stein and Wagner.
Stein had established a nationwide reputation for his Investigations of nursing home and
Medicaid frauds. Those accomplishments, together with Assemblyman StQln's other legislative
performances, were enough to
permit him to carry the votes
among all ethnic and other voting blocs in the City. At age 33,
Assemblyman Stein will probably
be the youngest person ever on
the Board of Estimate.
Also Rans
Other legislators did not fare
so well. Senator John Dunne of
Nassau County lost in the Republican primary for nomination
for County Executive. Assemblyman Irwin Landes, who won the
Democratic primary for Nassau
County Executive, lost In the
election to Francis Purcell, the
Republican nominee.
Next year Is another year and
no doubt other legislators will
make a try for higher office.
Some will make It and some
won't. It Is uncertainty that
makes politics such an interesting business.
Apparently the only certainty
in politics is Erastus Corning of

By RICHARD GABA
Mr. Gaba is a member of the New York Bar and Chairman
of the Nassau County Bar Association Labor Law Committee.
No
Arbitration
In June 1976, the Board of Education of the West
Genesee Central School District at Camillus submitted the
proposed annual budget for the upcoming year to the voters.
For economic reasons, the budget eliminated the school
nurse program, thereby abolishing nine nurse-teacher positions. Subsequently, the voters apiiroved the proppsed budget.
The West Genesee Teachers' Association objected to this
and demanded arbitration of the question. The board petitioned for a stay of arbitration of the question. The board
petitioned for a stay of arbitration, which was granted by
Special Term. The association appealed to the Appellate
Division, Fourth Department. The Appellate Division found
that the board's decision lay within its discretion and was
not subject to arbitration. The court noted that the association did not question the board's good faith in abolishing
those positions.
The court held that under the contract, the board's
good-faith decision, approved by the voters, to abolish the
nine nurse-teacher positions lay entirely within its discretion. Thus, there was no agreement to arbitrate the question.
The court concluded by stating, "Under such circumstances,
we find no justification for subjecting the parties to the
expense and trouble of arbitration. Board of Education of
the West Genesee Central School District at Camillus v.
West Genesee Teachers' Association, 397 N.Y.S. 2d 30.

AFTER TAKING an examination and being certified
for one of three openings, the employee was hired as an
electrical inspector by the City of Rochester in 1971.
Thereafter, for reasons of economy, the City decided to
abolish one of these positions and requested a "lay-off list."
The list furnished, erroneously indicated that the employee
had the least seniority and since, under Sectipn 80 of the
Civil Service Law, abolition of positions in the competitive
class for economy reasons shall be made "in the inverse
order of original appointment," the employee was terminated as of May 10.
On the first appeal, the Appellate Division, Fourth Department, held that the employee "had been unlawfully
terminated from his position as electrical inspector, and
he is also entitled, under Section 77 of the Civil Service Law,
to receive the salary to which he would have been entitled
but for such unlawful removal." The court directed reinstatement with backpay less any amount earned by him
from other employment. The appellants failed to reinstate
respondent, claiming that they had abolished respondents'
position Dec. 2, 1974.
The Appellate Division, Fourth Department, held on
this second appeal that the alleged abolition of the employee's position was ineffective and the employee was still
entitled to be reinstated to his former position with backpay to the date of reinstatement.
The court restated the position held in Matter of White

Retirement
Bi:enda Carissimi, manpower programs coordinator, Department of Labor:
"When you speak of affirmative action, such as Industry
or civil service, I think that
the original intent of women's
liberation was undermined in
the sense that women wanted
to be hired on their own talents, and instead they were
hired to fill a 'quota because
they were women. But actually now that women are getting into the different fields of employment, there
is a transition taking place—where the original
intention is being fulfilled. I have been able to
get a Job where before I may not have been able
to get one. The national publicity really hasn't
changed my attitudes. I wasn't involved in the
original struggle, but I believe women are benefiting."
Margaret O'Connor, secretary. Department of Correction, education division: "I
don't know that my attitudes
have changed. I have always
felt that women have been
discriminated against. The women's movement has focused a
lot of attention on the situation. Both men and women
have become more aware of
the discrepancies. The woman's
role has traditionally been tied
to the family and household,
behavior which has been learned from earliest
childhood. I think that people are now more
conscious that women have intelligence and capabilities to compete in any field they choose. However, the role of the housewife and mother is one
of the most important and rewarding for a woman. The liberation movement is giving women an
opportunity to make a choice."
Harold Galvin, senior parole officer, Department
of Correctional Services: "My
attitudes toward women haven't
changed. I don't feel the publicity that the advocates of the
ERA are getting is a true representation of the feelings of
the majority of the women in
this country. I think that sensationalist groups of women
with very definite vested interests are grabbing the spotlight and passing themselves
off as representatives of the average woman of
this country. My attitude is that women should
be given equal rights under the law, but not
preferential treatment, which Is the role many
of these advocates of women's liberation are
actually pushing for."
Jane Pullano, R17., health services nurse. Department of Civil Service: "My
ideas with regard to women's
rights were the same 20 years
ago, so I think they are Just
catching up. I don't agree with
all of the methods of the women's movement. You have to
be able to assert yourself with
or without women's liberation.
The extremists are exploiting
the situation and I don't think
they have actually helped the
movement The rights of women are being recognized more and more, but what I interpret as
women's rights and what women's liberation Interprets as women's rights might be two different things."
Kathleen Weiss, dictaphone machine operator,
Department
of
Correction:
"My attitudes haven't really
changed. I'm Just taking it in
stride. If there was a vote on
the ERA, I'd vote against it.
I'm not against equal pay for
the same type of Job that a
man would do, but the rest of
it I think is dumb. It doesn't
seem right to me to have, say,
a woman president. If you have
a woman boss in charge of a
lot of people, not particularly here, women tend
more to want their way—more so than men, who
seem to be more businesslike. That's in most cases.
There are women who do very well and aren't
like that at all."
Veronica Morgan, dictaphone machine transcriber.
Department
of
Correction:

"You can go aroimd and
around on women's rights. In
the home, the husband should
be the head. But in business,
in most instances, women
should have an equal opportunity for any position. I
would say that I'm a little
more liberal-minded than if I
were not employed. But I still
feel a woman's place, if she's a
wife and mother, should basically be in the
home. So you might say I'm not for it, and I'm
not against it. I think the national publicity is
overdone. They've gone overboard on that."
People working during 1977 and receiving social security
checks should take time to review their earnings.
They should keep in mind that their monthly checks
may be affected if thetr earnings go over $3,000, the annual
exempt amount used in the retirement test. Once 1977 earnings exceed $3,000, $1 in benefits
is withheld for each $2 earned.
One important factor to keep
in mind is that gross wages, not
Just take-home pay, count toward the retirement test. Many
people have been unhappily surprised because they only counted take-home pay and then discovered that their total wages
exceeded the exempt amount.
The result was that they had to
pay back some of the benefits
they had received in error.
If people find that after reviewing their earnings, they will
soon or already have exceeded
$3,000^ they should report this
at once to their social security
office.
Somewhat different rules apply to self-employed people. They
can deduct allowable business expenses from gross Income to arrive at their net earnings, which
count toward the retirement test.
Another part of the retirement test helps people who earn
less in some months or selfemployed people who don't work
steadily every month.
This part of the test states
that a benefit can be paid for
any month that a person neither
earns over $350 nor performs
substantial self-employment services.
Substantial services are measured by the amount of time a*
person spends in business. Generally, services of more than 45
hours a month are considered
substantial. Services requiring
between 15 and 45 hours may
be considered substantial depending on the nature of the
business or services. Services of
less than 15 hours a month are
never considered

• substantial.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR
Why Now?
Editor, The Leader:
I am a member of the New
York State Police and find myself in a very difficult situation.
I was drafted into the U.S. Army
from the State Police in 1960 and
returned in 1962 after having
satisfactorily completed my military obligation. I was never told
that I had an obligation to repay
the New York State Policemen's
and Firemen's Retirement System
all the money I would have contributed had I been continuously
employed. I am now prohibited
from paying it back because Section 243 of the Military Law
requires that these monies be
paid back within five years of
:>instatement to one's former pofl Ion. The New York State Poi -einen's and Firemen's Retiren f'nt System ha^i never had a
r 'jpener period for people in my
position to pay back this money.
The State Police were supposed to
be afforded this opportunity in
1971 (The Law says that we did
get it), but it never passed the
Legislature so we find ourselves
still denied the privilege that all
the other retirement systems in
the State were afforded.
In June of this year the U.S.
Supreme Court made a unanimous decision in favor of a veteran employed in private industry, and denied retirement credit
in his pension plan for the time
spent as a draftee in the U.S.
uiilitary. The Alabama Power
Company vs. Davis decision, although concerning a private employer and not a pension system, clearly spells out the Intent
of the United States Congress
regaiding veteran's legislation.
It seems blatantly discriminatory against certain veterans
that the Retirement System does
not have to comply with United
States Supreme Court decisions
in similar matters. After all,
they didn't ask who my employer was when they di'afted me.
Why should they ask now, when I
want credit for two years out of
my life for federal service.
JOHN J. RIORDAN
Laurens
Ugly And
Unfair
Editor, The Leader:
I feel there is a conflict between quota systems and merit.
In fact, the former is merely
another form of discrimination.
If two people take an examination, the person who obtains
the highest mark should be hired
first—regardless of race or national origin.
Reverse discrimination is just
as ugly and unfair as any other
discrimination. People who have
had no part in past injustices
are penalized merely because of
their race.
I was placed on a civil service
Test
list for fireman in 1972, after
taking the examination which
consisted of the usual problem
solving, mathematics, reading
comprehension, and so on. However, a later U.S. District Court
order deemed that hiring must
be on a "one-to-tliree basis." For
example, for every three non-minority people hired one minority
person must be hired, regardless
of that person's marks on the
examination.
Reverse discrimination, if continued. will serve to increase racial animosity in this country, to
the point of a major conflagration.

Regional second vice-president

other workshop members had
trouble getting answers from the
Fishkill office. "We have no
trouble getting in touch with
Jim Lennon or Tom Luposello.
We get a very good response to
all of our questions," was one
characteristic answer.
Mr. Luposello, who supervises
both the regional and the satellite offices, pointed out that
there are two women in the
Fishkill office who have to answer all the calls as well as perform an increasing amount of
clerical work for the Region. As

has happened. "They should go

supervisor or the regional president, vice-presidents or other officers. We will always try and
help you," he said.
Mr. Luposello pointed out that
the Long Island Region did get
two fieldmen and maybe the
Board of Directors could do the

money is frozen because of lawsuits and can't be used for more
staff until the suits are disposed
of. "If they win these suits we
may have to give all the money
back." he said.
President Lennon said the best
way to get the additional field
staff would be for Southern Region members to show how much
they are needed. In response to
his suggestion, the workshop
resolution on this question was
moved and approved unanimously.
On the question of field representatives, Ms. Romanelli said:
"The fleldmen are here to assist
Mi. waA tbey do aadst u«. We
can and should use them, but
they do not take the place of
our chapter officers. As a chapter president, I am not giving
away any of my prerogatives or
responsibilities to anyone."
Earlier in the critique, one
member asked if there could be
more regional meetings and if
members and not only officers
could attend the meetings.
"The regional meetings are all
announced in the Civil Service
Leader and are all open to any
CSEA member. Although the
meetings are run by the executive board, which consists of
the chapter presidents, we have
never stopped any other officer
or member from coming to them
and saying what they have to
say," Mr. Lennon said.
Mr. Lennon said in repl^ to
another question that more train-
ing sessions are planned, possibly on Saturdays. "They won't
be in a hotel atmosphere like
this one at the Pines, but q. lot
of good informa'tion will be presented," he said.
He also noted that appointments to standing committees will
not be made by Southern Region
until after Election Day. CSEA
president McQowan has taken
similar action, because he did
not want to see any changes
made in the state and regional
political action committees until
the political election is over.
Robert Hankey, second vicepresident of the Poughkeepsie
DOT Local, was recognized for
his contribution to the workshop,
and a vote of thanks was given

Court Halts Senior Referee Appointments
BRCX)KLYN—A provisional senior motor vehicle referee has succeeded in temporarily blocking the State
civil Service Department from
making permanent senior referee
appointments based on a recent
competitive examination.
A Brooklyn Supreme Court
Judge granted an injxmction re-
cently against the appointments
becaiise of a challenge against
the May exam brought in a lawsuit by Nattian.Mark.
It is in the Interest of Justice
to maintain the status quo rather
than make permanent appointments that may not be recalled,
even if it is ultimately determined that they were made "in

error," said Judge Arthur S.
Hirsch.
Judge Hirsch said the injvmctlon will remain in effect until
the department answers Mr.
Mark's objections to the exam.
He claimed the examiners who
administered and graded the oral
test were unqualified, that questions for the senior motor vehicle
referee test were not job-related,
that there were no objective
grading standards or uniform
questions and there was no notice
to applicants, as required by civil
service rule, of the importance of
each of the three areas of questioning.
The Civil Service Department
asked the court to throw out the
lawsuit, claiming Mr. Mark had
not used all administrative appeals available to him before
suing. But the judge said the
lawsuit was proper because a
challenge to an entire examination must go to the courts, not
the Civil Service Commission.
The Judge ordered no appointments be made until the Civil

SHORT TAKES

BUYCHEAPER HEALTH CARE COVERAGE
AND THERE'S ONE PLACE
YOU CAN REALLY GET HURT.
Right in the old wallet.
Which doesn't make
much sense when you stop to
think you wanted to save money
in the first place. More often than
not, though, you end up with an
expensive mistake on your hands.
Because cheaper health
care plans cost less for a reason.
They often cover less. And pay
less when it comes time to
make a claim.
That's why the Blue
Cross and Blue Shield program
is worth so much—even when it
costs more. It covers more.
Dollar for dollar, the high
option Blue Cross and Blue
Shield program is the best health
care coverage you can buy.
That sums up the main
problem with trying to save
money on health care coverage.
The cost of hospitalization and
medical treatment has been on
the rise for years. So far, the end
isn't in sight.
Take the cost of surgery,
for instance. As the chart shows,
the total cost of common surgical
procedure and required medical
- services has risen as much as
250% over the last ten years.
And that's why Blue
Cross and Blue Shield Plans are
working harder than ever with

You'll Be Paid
If You Worked
During Blackout
ALBANY—The State and the
Civil Service Employees Assn.
have agreed that state employees
who reported to worlc during the
July 14 power outage in the New
Yorlc City area and actually
worlced, but were later told to
go home, will be paid in full
for the day.
The agreement came during
negotiations between union officials and the State over State
attempts to penalize workers who
did not work on that day.
Many state offices were closed
because of the outage and many
others were blocked by police
and armed guards who prevented
workers from entering. City officials also asked all workers to
stay home. But the State said
workers who did not work that
day will have the time taken
from their leave and vacation
credits.
Union leaders say state officials mistakenly l)elieved workers who reported to work had
been paid. They are asking workers in this category to contact
CSEA's New York City regional
office, 11 Park PI., so the union
can pass the names on to state
officials.
The grievance filed by the union against the penalties is still
pending. An arbitrator is expected to settle the dispute.

to help slow down dramatically
rising health care costs.
So when you buy health

look at Blue Cross and Blue

But when you need help,
the Blue Cross and Blue Shield

It means doing without, but It doesn't
solve the problem. Until you are no
longer an alchollc you have not been
treated for alchollsm. ONLY drunicen
behavior. The H A L R E P R O G R A M

Insurance Committee Report
The report of the statewide standing Insurance committee was presented by
cliairman James Corbin, of Suffolk County Local 852, at the 67th annual meeting
of CSEA delegates last month at the
Concord Hotel. Other committee members are Mary Converse, Evelyn Glenn,
Carl Garrand, Carl Behr, Patricia Crandall. Hugh Crapser, Joseph Alello and
Paul Satz.
Our Committee held three meetings
since the Delegate Meeting In March
1977. To assure the protection of the
best interest of CSEA members who participate in the CSEA Insurance programs,
our Committee discussed the status and
any existing problems concerning these
programs in order to recommend appropriate action.
BASIC GROUP UFE INSURANCE
As announced last year, our Committee
and the staff of CSEA along with Ter
Bush & Powell, Inc., and the Travelers
Insurance Company has successfully implemented a plan revision whereby participating members selected amounts of
Insurance under Option "A" or Option
"B." The revision enables the offering of
equal amounts of Insurance for male and
female members and removes the claimed
discrimination under the old plan, which
In its schedule, provided different amounts
of Insurance for males and females.
assures the continued low cost to CSEA
members.
At this time the Committee is considering several options as to the handling of the surplus in the reserve fund
and hopes to report a recommendation
at the next Delegate Meeting.
At the present time through the combined efforts of CSEA staff, Travelers
representatives and Ter Bush and Powell,
Inc., representatives, a Fall enrollment

through the combined efforts of the Travelers and the Ter Bush & Powell representatives and through the efforts of
a mail campaign, 7,736 individuals enrolled in the Group Life Plan and of
these approximately 1,900 were new members to CSEA. It is expected that through
renewed efforts in obtaining local government Information and with the onset
of the Agency Shop for State employees,
that the insurance solicitations will produce many more new members than
have been produced in the past.
ACCIDENT AND SICKNESS INSURANCE

to the Delegates of the forthcoming revisions In the Accident and Sickness Insurance. These revisions were developed

taken to notify all participants of the
policy revisions. Moreover, a second notification will be sent to each policyholder
which will specify exactly what the new
premium will be for each Individual policyholder. Tills notification is scheduled
to be sent out on October 15, 1977.
The Committee Is also very pleased
to announce that the Initial estimate of
the loss ratio for the 1976 policy year is
very positive. The 1976 policy year Is the
first since the 1969 policy year to show
a favorable result. This indicates a return to a favorable basis for the plan
and is most directly the result of the premium increase which was effective on
July 1, 1976.
The Committee is confident that the
new rating schedule will also contribute
to the continued stability and health of
the Accident and Sickness Plan.
SUPPLEMENTAL LIFE
INSURANCE PLAN
This program will end Its eighth year
on October 31, 1977. Experience continues
to be favorable and participation is Increasing. Currently there are approximately 24,000 participants in this plan.
Although the full financial report for
the policy year will not be ready until
January of 1978, the Committee can advise you on the status of the plan.
Prom November 1, 1976, through July
31, 1977, the earned premium has been
$1,690,052 and the paid claims have been
$726,000. At tills rate, the earned premium for the entire policy year will be
approximately $2,250,000 and the loss
ratio will be approximately 50 percent.
Based on this favorable experience an
increase in dividend Is anticipated. The
following schedule is proposed for the
policy year ending October 31, 1977.
Under age 35—25%
35-44—20%
45-49—12 y2%
50-over— 7"/a%
This represents an Increase over the
1976 dividend of 10 percent for members
under age 35, 5 percent for members
age 35-44, and 2V2 percent for members
age 45 and over.
As a result of recent legislation pajssed
by the New York State Legislature, "there
will be certain changes with respect to
dependent life Insurance coverage. The
spouse of an Insured may now obtain
up to $10,000 of insurance (only $5,000
was offered in the past) and $2,000 for
dependent children (the former amount
was $2,500). The lower limits for dependent children do not effect any insureds who purchased Insurance prior to
the recent legislation.
It is anticipated that many members
will avail themselves of the higher
amounts of insurance for spouse coverage.
CSEA MASTERPLAN
AUTO/HOMEOWNERS INSURANCE
As reported to the Delegates in the
Spring, 1977 Delegate Report, the Travelers has continued to practice certain
underwriting techniques which were employed during 1976 with the hope that
the loss experience imder the plan would
Improve. These techniques included: 1.
accepting only applications from members employed where payroll deduction
Is available, and 2. accepting only members who have clear driving records, in
the case of automobiles, or who have
modern housing Insured In the case of
homeowners.
As a result of these techniques the automobile and homeowners experience for
the first six months of 1977 Is improved.
For the first six months of 1977 the
combined loss ratio for the auto and
homeowners policies Is 73 percent. This
compares with a 91 percent loss ratio
incurred during 1976. This Improvement
is a direct result of various underwriting programs combined with rate increases.
As of August 1, 1977, 8,538 automobile
policies and 4,332 homeowners policies
were in force for CSEA members. This Is
a 10 percent decrease in automobile policies and an 11 percent decrease in homeowners policies since August 1, 1976. Since
the plan is now operating on a more
stable and favorable loss experience basis.
Travelers and Ter Bush & Powell representatives are in the process of planning
a resollcltatlon for selected new locations.
Current plans call for the solicitation to
begin in the Pall of 1977.
It is hoped that by continuing to use
the techniques explained above, the
MasterPlan will continue to move in a
favorable direction,
RETIREE INSURANCE PROGRAMS
Senior Security 55 Plan
This insurance was first offered to
CSEA retirees in 1976. This Is a permanent Individual life Insurance plan offered to CSEA retiree members age 55 or
older and their spouse.
Since the initial offering, over 750 re•tlrees have purchased this insurance. Because of the continuing interest In the
plan, a new enrollment period has been
scheduled for this Pall. Plans for the mall
campaign offering are now being finalized by Ter Bush Sc Powell. Inc.
In-Hospital Indemnity Plan
The In-Hospital Indemnity Plan has
been available to retiree members of
CSEA since 1972. As of June 1977 there
are 4.984 enrolled participants. The plan
provides $900 per month for up to 12
months while Insured members are hospitalized for a covered sickness or inJury. The plan also provides coverage for
convalescent nursing home care at the
rate of $450 a month. This plan provides
full benefits in addition to whatever the
retiree may collect under medical or other
individual Insurance he or she may have.
The Insurance Committee believes that
there is great potential to Increase the
participation In this plan and urges all
retirees to secure Information on the plan
from Ter Bush Sc Powell. Inc., or from
CSEA Headquarters. A mall campaign offering is currently being considered but
details are not available at this time.

GO TO HEALTH
By WILLIAM R. WILLIFORD
Happy
Thanksgiving
I would like to wish you all a Happy Thanksgiving! By using
the typical Thanks^ving meal, the efficiency of the human body
can be easily demonstrated.
The last thing I want to do is spoil your feast, but let's take
a look at what you have to do to work off
all those calories. The following is a list, including
the menu item, estimate of calories and estimate
of energy expenditure to bum up these calories.
• Cocktail (200 calories)—dance for 25
minutes.
• Soup (100 calories)—walk two miles.
• Turkey (300 calories)—^play tennis for 75
minutes.
• Dressing (150 calories)—ride a bicycle 2Vi
miles.
• Cranberry sauce (100 calories)—ride a
horse IMs miles.
• Mashed potatoes (240 calories) swim 1,050 yards.
• Sweet potatoes (314 calories)—ski two hours.
• Escalloped onions (108 calories)—play touch football 15
minutes.
• Squash (97 calories)—jump rope 10 minutes.
• Peas (51 calories)—walk up and down stairs four times.
• Piunpkin pie (263 calories)—jog Vi hour.
• Ice cream (300 calories)—recline for four hours.
If you are like me. you might decide to have a double helping
of ice cream and then be forced to recline for eight hours in order
to work it off. It's a shame it takes so long to work off that ice cream.

Since he became a civil servant 16 years ago at West Seneca Developmental Center, William
McGowan has progressed steadily up the ladder of leadership within the Civil Service Employees
Assn. Last summer he won election as the union's 20th president. His friends in Western Region VI were proud that one of their own made it to the top, and they arranged for a reception
in his honor last month at the Executive House in the Buffalo suburb of Cheektowaga. Here Mr.
McGowan admires silver bison presented to him Jby Robert Lattimer, his successor as Western
Region president, as Region third vice-president Ramona Gallagher smiles approvingly.

The CSEA, however, maintained that Section 20.4 of the contract did require the county to
prefer its qualified employees
over outsiders so long as the
choice did not interfere with
"the effective administration
and operation of county government." The union pointed to Ms.

Ravena Non-Instructional
Unit At Impasse On 5 Items
RAVENA — The RavenaCoeymans - Selkirk non - instructional unit of the Civil
Service Employees Assn. has
been forced into a contract negotiation impasse situation due to
the school administration's inability to act on five cost-free
Items that would streamline the
relationship between the union
and the administration.
H. Eugene Try on, CSEA unit
president, commented on the
district's action, "We were pre-
paring for a ratification meeting
since all major items were settled. Now five non-economic
items, all of which help to improve the relationship between
the employees and the employer,
are refused without even an explanation of the rejection being
offered.
This Impasse situation just
shows that the school board does
not really want to improve communications with Its employees."
The school district is located
in Albany County.
As guests mingle, CSEA president McGowan made rounds to thank people who attended reception. Here he greets SUC at Fredonia Local 607 president Sara Sievert and Buffalo Local 003
president Peter Blaauboer, as Rosemary BUwuboer smiles winningly.
