ALBANY — The counting of ratification
ballots from CSEA members in the three major
state bargaining units relative to tentative 3-year
agreements between CSEA and the State was
ordered postponed indefinitely last week by
CSEA President William L. McGowan.
Ballots were to have been counted last
Friday, April 27, but President McGowan ordered
the postponement for an indefinite period due to
the job action by AFSCME District Council 82
members against the State, which was in its
second week at Public Sector press time.
Member's of the Administrative, Institutional
and Operational bargaining units have been
voting by mail ballots on the tentative pacts
which would become effective retroactive to
April 1 if approved. President McGowan notified
the state last week the union would not count the
ratification ballots as originally scheduled so as
to avoid any influence on the labor dispute involving Council 82, which also involves their tentative
agreement with the State.
Reschedule election of officers
ALBANY — The election
for CSEA statewide officers
and the State Executive Committee has been rescheduled
to be held in August, the
CSEA B o a r d of D i r e c t o r s
voted, 49-24, on April 26 in
Albany.
Under the new schedule,
some of the key dates a r e :
M a y 14 — S e l e c t i o n of
Nominating Committee.
J u n e 8 — R e p o r t of
Nominating Committee.
J u l y 9 — F i n a l day f o r
petitions to be filed.
Aug. 6 — Ballots delieved to
post office.
Aug. 30 — D e a d l i n e f o r
return of ballots.
Sept. 7 — Official results
announced.
Sept. 17 — End of protest
period.
The 1979 election changes
were necessary as a result of
CSEA delegate action which
prohibited retired m e m b e r s
and employees in bargaining
units represented by another
union f r o m holding elected office. A n u m b e r of retired
m e m b e r s and PS&T unit
m e m b e r s f o r m e r l y represented by CSEA w e r e candidates for elected offices,
and new n o m i n a t i n g comm i t t e e s m u s t , in m a n y
cases, now be named and new
candidates selected.
The board also voted to permit locals which did not have
PS&T or retiree candidates or
c o m m i t t e e m e m b e r s to hold
their elections as previously
scheduled. Education locals
also were voted to be exempt
f r o m the above schedule.
In other action, the board
voted to allow PS&T and
retirees now holding elected
office on the state, region or
local level to r e m a i n in office
until, successors a r e elected.
However, PS&T and r e t i r e e s
who were appointed to comm i t t e e s o t h e r than b o a r d
committees forfeited that appointment as of April 21.
N e w membership qualifications approved
ALBANY - CSEA d e l e g a t e s
have approved, by a m o r e than
two-thirds majority, major
changes in the union's Constitution
and By-Laws which now prohibit
retired m e m b e r s or employees in
any bargaining unit represented by
another union f r o m holding elected
office within CSEA.
The important chang^es, which
had been approved initially at a
special meeting on April 4, w e r e
approved for a second t i m e at a
subsequent special
delegates
meeting April 21, also in Albany.
The changes b e c a m e effective immediately, however CSEA Chief
Counsel J a m e s W. R o e m e r told
delegates that any person currently
holding elected union office who
would otherwise be ineligible as a
result of the changes, will be permitted to finish out the current
t e r m of office.
By a 1,406 to 686 weighted voting
total, delegates approved changes
in t h e Constitution to r e d e f i n e
categories of membership. Only
full m e m b e r s can vote in union
elections and hold elected office,
and the change now limits full
m e m b e r s h i p to actively employed
public workers in units for which
no o t h e r unian is r e c o g n i z e d .
Retired people or other employees
who previously could pay full dues
and become eligible for elected office no longer m a y do so.
A new category of "Associate
M e m b e r " was created, with annual
dues of $26.00, to enable employees
of o t h e r units to hold l i m i t e d
m e m b e r s h i p in CSEA for the purpose of participating in CSEA insurance p r o g r a m s and " s u c h other
rights and privileges approved by
the Board of D i r e c t o r s . " And the
" R e t i r e d M e m b e r " category was
modified as to limited m e m b e r s h i p
status as well.
SOME 700 CSEA DELEGATES met in Albany on April 21 to approve major
changes in the union's Constitution and By-Laws. Among the delegates were, from
left, Gordon D. Hobbs, a member of Middletown CSEA Retirees Local 917; and
Alexander M. Hogg, President of Middletown Psychiatric Center Local 415.
B e c a u s e a l a r g e n u m b e r of

Meany urges
CSE A support
WASHINGTON AFL-CIO
President George Meany has taken a
direct interest in the 9th Judicial
District court employees election
between CSEA and an independent
organization. Last month, Mr. Meany
wrote a letter to all 9th Judicial
District employees, urging them to
vote for CSEA/AFSCME Local 1000.
His letter follows:
"In a few days you'll be voting to
choose the organization that will
r e p r e s e n t y o u in c o l l e c t i v e
bargaining, determining your wages,
hours and working conditions for
years to come. That's not an unimportant decision.
"A few months ago the New York
Civil Service Employees Association
(CSEA) affiliated with the American
F e d e r a t i o n of State, County and
Municipal Employees, part of the
AFL-CIO. As a result, you a r e now
part of the AFL-CIO family and have
the full resources of a great national
union, one million strong, to back up
the officers and staff of your New
York organization. CSEA/AFSCME
Local 1000 represents the overwhelming majority of all state employees in
New York.
"The alternative on the ballot will
be an independent association with
limited r e s o u r c e s and without
statewide or national resources. That
organization is not part of the AFLCIO today and can not affiliate with
the AFL-CIO family of organized
workers.
" I u r g e you to v o t e f o r
C S E A / A F S C M E L o c a l 1000 t o
represent you."

C e n t e r ' s P o w e r p l a n t . Since my
employment here for almost 2 years
now, I have continually heard about
the attempt made about 2 years ago
for an upgrading of all powerplant
employees throughout the State. I've
been told it's been at least 15 years
since there's been any upgrading for
such employees, while many other
depts. have received upgradings during these 15 years.
Powerplants are very necessary for
the operation of any state facility or
institution, and it takes a team effort
of many qualified, competent, and
knowledgable employees to operate
such powerplants efficiently and
safely, 24 hours a day, 365 days each
year. The grades for we powerplant
employees a r e unjustifiably low.
Evidently the state governing
authorities have not considered our
plea for "just a little more livable
wage". I wonder if the CSEA would
take up our plea, and help us to obtain
this upgrading we've been waiting so
long to receive?

Serving coffee not her cup of tea
FISHKILL - When stenographer
Judy J a e g e r was asked to serve
coffee, she found it was not her cup of
tea.
As a result, the member of East
Hudson Psrrkway Authority QSEA
Local 051 filed a grievance, claiming
that waitress-duty at monthly
Authority board meetings was not
found in her job description.
Local 051 President Chuck Zoffer
had Ms. Jaeger file her grievance on
March 9, and on April 3 the step-3
decision was rendered. "When assigned to assist at future Board meetings,
you will not be required to serve food
or b e v e r a g e s or c l e a n
up
dinnerware," wrote Ray Radzivila,
the Parkway's executive director.
THE PUBLIC SECTOR, Wednesday, M a y 2, 1979THEPUBLICSECTOR,Wednesday,May2,1979Page7
Ms. Jaeger, a junior stenographer
and three-year CSEA member at the
Parkway Authority office in Pleasantville, had been required to serve
sandwiches and drinks to five or six
people at the board meetings, and
then to clean up after them, according
to Mr. Zoffer.
Today, thanks to the successful
grievance, she is performing the
regular stenographic functions that
she was hired to do.
" I ' m glad we brought this out into
the open. I hope it puts o t h e r
employers on notice that there is no
w a y t h a t a n y s t e n o g r a p h e r or
secretary can be expected to perform
the duties of a waitress as a part of
her job," Mr. Zoffer noted.
Seasonal
employees
at issue
LAKE PLACID - The Civil Service Employees Assn. is becoming
involved in the controversial issue
of the rights of seasonal employees
to protection under Article 33 of the
contract.
In a recent case at Whiteface Ski
Center in Lake Placid, a seasonal
employee, who worked for approximately eight and a half months
each year, returning every season
for 20 years, was fired on charges
of misconduct, without a hearing.
When the CSEA filed a grievance
on behalf of the employee the personnel office at the ski center rejected it saying that seasonal
employees are not protected under
the contract.
A provision in the State contract
calls for protection of employees
after two years of continuous service in the labor class. The CSEA is
maintaining, according to Capital
Region F i e l d R e p r e s e n t a t i v e
C h a r l e s S c o t t , t h a t s u c h an
employee does provide continuous
service if he returns year a f t e r
year. "The temporary break in service during the summer months
should be overlooked," said Mr.
Scott. "So many years of service
simply should not be disregarded."
He noted that there a r e some
seasonal employees who do not
return to work each year. "There
is a distinction between the two
classes of workers and the State
must recognize this." said Mr.
Scott. The Office of Employee
Relations, he said, could not clarify
their status.
Nels Carlson, a collective
bargaining specialist for the CSEA,
commented that there is a need to
bring this issue to the forefront.
"We have identified this problem
at the ski center and it must exist
in other a r e a s , " he said.
On the advice of its legal counsel
the CSEA/has taken this case to arbitration.
Major lobbying

Union files IP against Seneca
WATERLOO - The Civil Service
Employees Assn. has announced that
an Improper Practice charge has
been filed against the County of
Seneca on behalf of more than 140
employees in the Seneca County Unit
of CSEA Local 850.
. According to Jack Miller, CSEA
F i e l d R e p r e s e n t a t i v e , t h e union
alleges that Seneca County has engaged in an improper practice by ignoring ground rules negotiated and
duly signed by both parties November
30, 1978.
The union contends the rules called
for continuation of the present contract agreement until a successor
agreement was reached. And, under
terms of the existing contract, the
Await
county is obligated to incremental
payments as outlined in Section 3 of
the agreement. The County maintains
it will not pay any increment in 1979.
"There is no question in our mind
that the Seneca County Board of
Supervisors is using the increment
payment as a vehicle to force a contract on employees of Seneca County, ' Miller said.
"We bargained in good faith with
the County and mutually agreed, in
writing, that the present contract
would continue until a successor contract was negotiated," Miller continued. "In our opinion, the County
has violated that signed agreement.
Under the law (Taylor Law) our only
course of action is to file an " I P " and
dumping
MIDDLETOWN — As revealed in
last week's edition of The Public Sector. the extent of dumping of explosive and toxic chemicals on the
g r o u n d s of t h e M i d d l e t o w n
Psychiatric Center was much more
serious, and the potential harm much
more dangerous, than had been stated
in the general news media..
The dumping area has been dug up
and gone over by representatives of a
variety of State departments and
agencies, and the results of the investigation are being awaited. CSEA
Region 111 President J a m e s Lennon,
in whose area the incidents occurred,
and CSEA S t a t e w i d e P r e s i d e n t
William L. McGowan, among other
report
union officials, spearheaded the effort
to have the State launch an immediate investigation. Mr. McGowan,
in fact, wrote directly to Governor
Hugh Carey in mid-April, immediately upon learning of the situation, asking for the full cooperation of the
governor in the current investigation.
Meanwhile, CSEA is continuing a
watchdog approach, having already
publicly charged the possibility of a
coverup by management, and warn-,
ing that management has attempted
a c t s of r e p r i s a l a g a i n s t union
members who revealed the dumping
incidents. As of press time, there was
no report of the status of the State investigation.
request the Public E m p l o y m e n t
Relations Board to decide," Miller
said.
Negotiations between CSEA and
Seneca County have been underway
since November of 1978.
ALBANY — A major lobbying effort by CSEA in support of new
agency shop legislation was expected
to start on May 1, CSEA Legislative
and Political Action Director Bernard
Ryan^ reported.
CSEA members from Long Island
Region I and the union's Legislative
and Political Action Committee were
expected to be in Albany that day to
speak with all the m e m b e r s of the
State Legislature from Region I,
Ryan said.
The agency shop legislation, if
passed, would continue the agency
shop fee for state employees and
would extend it to local government
subdivisions.
Gov. Hugh L. Carey is on record in
support of the agency shop for state
and local governments.
Ryan said the lobbying effort will
continue with all CSEA regions participating as follows: May 8, Region
II; May 15, Regions III and IV; May
22, Region V; and May 29 or 30,
Regions VI and I and the Political
Action Committee.
Book audit proposed
HAUPPAUGE - A Suffolk County
Legislator and former fund trustee
has called for an investigation of the
CSEA/Suffolk County Welfare Fund,
and Suffolk County CSEA Local 852
President William Lewis, who just
recently b e c a m e a fund t r u s t e e
himself, says he believes the books
should be audited to clear the air.
Lewis reported the fund came und e r f i r e April 20 when County
Legislator John Foley, a former fund
trustee, called for an investigation of
the fund by County District Attorney
Patrick Henry.
Lewis told The Public Sector he
believes the books should be audited
to clear the air because, "That money
belongs to the members of Local 852
to be used for their benefit."
The fund is provided with $225 for
each of the County's 6,500 employees
and provides Local 852 members with
optical, dental, drug, hearing and
legal benefits, Lewis said.
He said the fund is administered by
eight trustees, split between the
County and the Local. Lewis recently
became a trustee of the fund and he
was expected to attend his f i r s t
meeting April 25.

ALBANY — CSEA delegates approved, by a more than two-thirds
margin, significant changes in the union's Constitution and By-Laws at a
special meeting here on April 2L
Delegates approved by the required two-thirds majority changes which
had been approved overwhelmingly at an earlier special meeting on April
4 in Albany. Changes in the union's Constitution require approval at two
delegates meetings, the second time by not less than a two-thirds majority.
With 620 delegates and 13 official alternates in attendance, comprising
2,092 total weighted votes, delegates approved key changes in Article III
of the Constitution by a 1,406-686 margin. That represented a relatively
narrow 10-vote margin over the 1,396 votes necessary to achieve the twothirds margin of support.
The adjacent photos illustrate some of the intense activities as they occurred during the April 21 delegates session.

State Division changes
ALBANY — Among Constitutional
changes approved by the delegates
was one which allows the union's
Board of Directors to establish a new
date for the purpose of determining
the number of state division representatives to be elected to the Board of
Directors.
Under the Constitution, state
division membership on the Board of
Directors is determined, in part, by
the number of union members within
each State Department. In addition to
one Board representative from each
State Department, each State
Department with more than 3,000
members as of January 1 in the year
of an election shall be entitled to one
additional representative for each 3,000 m e m b e r s or m a j o r fraction
thereof.

placed on 'hold' pending delegate action. Delegates on April 4 and April 21
approved allowing the Board of Directors to, establish for the 1979 election,
a date other than January 1 for the
purpose of determining membership
by Department for setting the number
of additional departmental representatives on the Board. The Board will
also determine new dates for continuing the 1979 election from the 'hold'
position.
The change was necessary because
t h e r e c e n t loss of 45,500 PS&T
employees significantly altered the
number of CSEA members in certain
State Departments, thereby changing

study the feasibility of an HMO.

CSEA Retiree Coordinator
Retiree legislation introduced
Our CSEA retiree legislation for
1979 h a s b e e n
introduced,
numbered and printed, and I wish
to s u m m a r i z e our bills at this time,
with further elaboration to follow
as soon as it is possible for our
printers and mailers to get our
R e t i r e e Newsletter on its way.
The "1971 B I L L " (S. 3361-A.
4509), introduced by Senator John
Flynn and Assemblyman F r a n k
Barbaro, would extend the present
cost-of-living supplement cut-off
date of March 31,1969 to December
31, 1971. P e r c e n t a g e s
of
supplementation range as follows:
1971
1970
1969-1968
1967
1966-1965
17%
18%
19%

1960-1957
1956-1952
1951 & earlier

Fiscally, this represents an additional cost of $5.8 million jto the
S t a t e . a n d $$.3 million to- p a r ticipating employers (local
governments). This added cost is
reasonable and affordable and, it
appears that this bill has a very
go(xl chance this year.
The " J U N E 30, 1977 BILL" (S.
4158 - A. 6618) introduced by Committee on Rules, would extend a
cost-of-living a d j u s t m e n t to an unprecedented number of retirees,
namely, all who retired up through
J u n e 30, 1977, providing for all
previous percentage benefits to be
m a d e permanent. Also, beginning
Page 8
in 1980, all eligible retirees would
receive an increase based on the
rise of the cost-of-living indicated
by the consumer price index for the
previous year. The bill's fiscal note
reports an additional annual cost of
$314!6 million to the State, plus $345
million to participating employers.
It obviously will require a super effort on the part of its supporters to
be passed, but CSEA is committed
to support this bill all the way.
The "SURVIVOR'S B E N E F I T
B I L L " (S. 3221 - A. 4416) introduced by S e n a t o r F l y n n a n d
Assemblyman Stephen Greco,
would provide a death benefit to
the beneficiary of a state retiree
who retired before October 1, 1966,
is still living and is one of the small
group of state retirees who have
been denied such a benefit of $2000.
The actuaries e s t i m a t e the cost as
$1 million^ decreasing as these
older retirees continue to pass
away. We think it would be insensitive of any legislator to fail to
give his or her support to this small
benefit for our oldest s t a t e
retirees.
There a r e other bills, not written
by CSEA but which a r e favorable
to retirees and other older citizens,
which will be pointed out in this
column next time. Whom to write
to in support of our bills? The
n e w s l e t t e r will spell out such
details, and you a r e asked to write
your letters of support no later
than the week of May 13.

Dr. Joseph G. Metz. Executive
Director of the P e r m a n e n t Comm i s s i o n on P u b l i c E m p l o y e e
Pension and R e t i r e m e n t Systems,
spoke. Dr. Metz is quoted as saying
that a f t e r 30 years, a typical public
employee gets more in retirement,
a f t e r tax dollars, than he or she did
while working. This is an obvious
r e f e r e n c e to some of the horror
stories that c a m e out of the New
York City civil service system
several years ago. The unfairness
is that Dr. Metz implies this abuse
to be generally the case by his use
of the words " a typical public
employee."
He is f u r t h e r quoted äs saying
public employees don't pay state
and local income taxes. This miss t a t e m e n t is damaging whether he
actually said that or was incorrectly reported in the news story. It is
not true, of course. Dr. Metz m a y
have had in mind the fact that
retired public employees in this
state a r e exempt f r o m state income tax, which is true.

as recent as 1977. In that year as of

It is hoped that all dedicated
crusaders against public employee
pensions will aim their guns at
more worthwhile targets such as

misleading statements.
For the past several weeks, frhe Public Sector has carried status reports
of various legislation in the State Legislatur€. Some o f i t irsüpported by

Charge unit president's rights violated
By GENI ABRAMS
Special to the Public Sector
ALBANY — Peter Mendleson, the
CSEA unit president who was unfairly
suspended without pay before Christmas, has now survived his first unemployed Easter, and by the time his
figlit is won, it may well be the Fourth
of July.
While most American workers
mark the major U.S. holidays by taking the day off, there hasn't been
much to celebrate for Mr. Mendleson,
who has had every day off since Nov.
9,1978. It was then that his supervisor
at the State Department of Transpor-
tation garage at Waterford suspended
him without pay. The offense: trying
to tape record the supervisor's reply
to a r e q u e s t for c o n t r a c t u a l l y guaranteed time off to process a
fellow employee's grievance.
The suspension came 12 days prior
to Mr. Mendleson's 10th anniversary
with the DOT, at which time he would
have vested his pension rights.
CSEA A t t o r n e y M a r j o r i e E .
K a r o w e is r e p r e s e n t i n g M r .

disciplinary proceeding before Arbitrator Eli Taub, in which Mr.
Mendleson took the stand for the first
TO THE DELIGHT OF BOTH PARTIES, North Hempstead Town Supervisor
Michael J. Tully, J r . affixes his signature to a new two-year contract with the

Edward Ochenkowski looks on. The contract provides for the regular increment payment, plus 3.5 per cent increase plus $250 for each year.
time on April 23. But she believes the
real issue is a deep-seated anti-union
disposition on the part of the DOT
s u p e r v i s o r who s u s p e n d e d M r .
Mendleson, Kenneth H. Smith.
This disposition, or "animus," as
the attorney calls it. is the reason
behind Ms. Karowe's filing of an
Improper Practice charge against the
department. Hearings on the charge
have been postponed several times
already, but a r e now set to be heard
s o m e t i m e in M a y by P u b l i c
Employment Relations Board officer
Bonnie Kirkland.
"We a r e trying to bring into the
open a management pattern of concerted, sustained harrassment which
very few employees ever could have
withstood," Ms. Karowe said.
Mr. Mendleson, a Motor Equipment
Mechanic at the shop, had never had a
problem with management until Mr.
Smith was assigned as supervisor of the
g a r a g e in 1975. Since then, Mr.
Mendleson has received no fewer than
15 "counseling letters," advising him of
alleged wrongdoings on his part.
In addition, he went through the experience of being ordered by DOT
management to report for a psychiatric examination. Ever cheerful,
Mr. Mendleson showed up at the doctor's office as directed and, after the
examination, was told by the psychiatrist that the DOT had obviously
sent him "the wrong m a n . "
Ms. Karowe notes that the only
other person ever ordered by the DOT
to r e p o r t f o r a p s y c h i a t r i c examination was also a CSEA unit
president.
Nels Carlson, CSEA's Collective
B a r g a i n i n g S p e c i a l i s t for Mr.
Mendleson's Operational bargaining
unit, agrees that the DOT has been
harsh in its persecution of the CSEA
leader.
"Our contract specifies that you
cannot be suspended without pay unless you a r e a clear and present
danger to yourself, your colleagues or
the department's property," he said.
"All P e t e r did was to bring a tape
recorder into work with him."
Mr. Smith also gave Mr. Mendleson
Local 8 6 0 raises
bomb scare issue
J a m e s L. V e r b o y s
WHITE PLAINS - A grievance
filed by the Westchester County
Unit of CSEA Local 860 appears to
have prompted the County to
r e e v a l u a t e its bomb t h r e a t
procedures.
Unit Health and Safety Chairman
J a m e s L. Verboys said: " T h e
county has been reevaluating its
bomb threat procedures and it
a p p e a r s to be u p d a t i n g t h e
procedure . . . . The County has
e l e c t e d t o go t h r o u g h i t s
department heads and has not met
with the union."
The grievance is still pending
"until procedures a r e established
and implemented," Verboys said.
The grievance asked the county
to c l a r i f y i t s b o m b - t h r e a t
procedures and to initiate training
f o r p e r s o n n e l in b o m b - s e a r c h
p r o c e d u r e s , Unit P r e s i d e n t
Raymond J. O'Connor said.
Verboys said: "If a bomb threat
came tomorrow, it still would be
disorganized. Employees would not
know what to do."
He said the biggest problem was
c o m m u n i c a t i o n b e t w e e n department heads and employees.
Also, a fire warden system is
operating only in a few of the county's buildings, he said. He stressed
the i m p o r t a n c e of e d u c a t i n g
employees to procedures.
The grievance was prompted
a f t e r bomb t h r e a t s to county
buildings of March 1 and 2, in which
the county allegedly failed to react
properly, O'Connor said.
an " u n s a t i s f a c t o r y " p e r f o r m a n c e •»
rating for 1977. Dressed in a threepiece suit for his appeal of that
rating at a 10 a.m. hearing in Albany
last summer, Mr. Mendleson was at
work at 8 a.m. Mr. Smith ordered him
to do some repairs underneath a
truck. Obviously, he was not dressed
for the work — and was promptly
charged with insubordination.
The union has filed an "Article 78"
(court) proceeding on the unsatisfactory p e r f o r m a n c e rating. That
proceeding should also begin in late
May or early June.
"We're not giving up on this," Ms.
Karowe said. " I t ' s a matter of principle to us, as well as being a clear case
of a violation of a person's contractual and statutory rights.
Here was an employee who stood
up for his rights and the rights of his
fellow employees," she continued.
"And he did this in the face of a
tremendous,
unprecedented
harrassment by his supervisor. There
is no doubt in my mind that a pattern
of deliberate, sustained anti-union
animus can be proved."
Since his suspension in Noven[iber,
Mr. Mendleson has also been ineligible for unemployment insurance,
because the DOT objected to his
receiving it. CSEA strongly resents
this tactic, and feels that it adds to the
validity of the Improper Practice
c h a r g e . B u t h e a r i n g s on u n employment insurance have been
m a d e m o o t by the c u r r e n t disciplinary proceedings, because a
union victory would give Mr. Mendleson
not only reinstatement to his job, but
full back pay and benefits from the
date of his suspension.
Meanwhile, Mr. Mendleson has
been without pay and without unemployment insurance . . . for six
months now. He is also ineligible for
food stamps. The reason: he owns
more than $1,500 worth of property.
Despite the fact that his story
makes him spund like a contestant on
"Queen for a Day," Peter Mendleson
remains optimistic as he bounds into
CSEA headquarters almost daily to
photocopy voluminous notes for his
legal battles. "Look at the bright
side," he said recently. "At least I get
to see my wife and kids a lot." Mr.
M e n d l e s o n , his wife and two
daughters a r e residents of Ballston
Spa.
He also maintains an intense interest in his ex-colleagues at the
Waterford shop, where Ozzie Cooper has taken over for him as CSEA
president.
One of the curious facts that has
come out of the Mendleson case is
that the state has, as of February,
spent more money in its prosecution
of the man than his entire $13,000
salary would have cost for a year.
" I t ' s just an extreme case of the
state not wanting to admit they made
a mistake," Mr. Carlson said. "No
matter what the cost. The sad part is,
there's a human cost here, too."
In a development that the union
sees as related, it was rumored at
press time that Mr. Smith, the supervisor, had been nominated for the 1979
Murray Nathan Award — which is
given for excellence in management.
"If it's true, it's obviously a ploy by
management to get their case to look
stronger," Mr. Carlson said. "Either "
that, or it's a belated April Fool's Day
joke,"

Asbestos in
Westchester
'We've got a
potential time bomb
on our hands'
WESTCHESTER COUNTY UNIT GRIEVANCE
CHAIRMAN Jack Whalen points out one of the
pipes in the basement of the Westchester
County Medical Center in Valhalla where
asbestos is exposed.' The lockers are used by
kitchen personnel.
The danger of cancer-causing asbestos poisoning the atmosphere of a work site is
becoming one of the biggest health concerns in the United States. The Westchester
County Unit of CSEA Local 860 believes some of its members are facing the mostserious health problem. Associate Editor Gerald Alperstein visited White Plains and
Valhalla on April 17 to investigate the alleged unhealthy conditions.
County hospital site of asbestos hazard
WHITE PLAINS Some
employees of Westchester County
a r e being exposed to asbestos at
their work sites. Other employees
of the county possibly a r e being exposed to the deadly, cancer-causing
substance.
The County Unit of Westchester
County CSEA Local 860 has started
taking s t e p s to e l i m i n a t e such
hazards and potential hazards.
A meeting of the joint (the Unit
and the County) 'Health and Safety
Committee will be held to m a k e
recommendations regarding a
grievance on the subject.
Unit P r e s i d e n t R a y m o n d J.
O'Connor, in the grievance, asked
for " i m m e d i a t e p r e c a u t i o n s to
guard against exposure to asbestos
and asbestos type fibers . . . " and

Deadly asbestos causes cancer, lung disease
Asbestos has been shown to be a
cause of cancer and of asbestosis, a
lung disease.
The American Academy of Occupational Medicine reported that
asbestos is a cause of tumors in the
lungs and in the abdomen.

occurrence of asbestosis, a fibrotic
disease of the lungs, has been
recognized for centuries. This dis-

utilizes the chrysotile form of the
mineral. Recently, lung tumors
have been found in a large percentage of patients with asbestosis."
