On February 15, the legislature’s Appropriations Commit tee met to consider immediate action to relieve basic health and safety problems at Augusta Mental Health Institute. The committee was convened to consider recommendations of the Human Resources Committee. Funding for 81 positions will be included in the supplementary appropriations bill enacted on an emergency basis take effect immediately on the signature of the Governor. Previously, on February 14, MSEA held a meeting with AMHI workers to discuss immediate needs. Commissioner Susan Parker had recommended 48 temporary positions ending June 17 of this year. The unanimous position taken by the workers at that meeting was that it made no sense and could be counterproductive to fill these positions on a short term basis. After review of the specific recommendations of the Commissioner, employees spelled out minimum meastxss needed to address health and safety problems at the institute. Among concerns expressed was the need for new custodial workers to help maintain the institute on weekends; for more direct care personnel such as nurses, mental health

„workers, and therapists; and for ward clerks to relieve the paperwork burden for direct care personnel. The Human Resources Committee met under the leadership of Senator Paul Gauvreau and Representative Peter Manning. Members of the committee who had been made aware of workers feelings expressed serious misgivings with the plan for 48 temporary positions. It became apparent quickly that there was broad consensus that whatever positions that were funded must be full time. The committee recommended 90 new positions. The Appropriations Committee then met to decide on funding on February 15. The Governor had visited AMHI earlier in the day and supported 74 new positions. Final agreement was reached on a, total of 81. This week’s action marks only the first inning in a long game. For beleaguered AMHI personnel who have been bearing the burden of ,»,nrk snd qhoukterinn much of the criticism, the actions of these two important committees and the Governor’s willingness to become personally involved are both very favorable signs.

The folbwing letter was sent as a guest editorial to the Kennebec Journal by MSEA Executive Director Phil Merrill on February 10. Society owes a debt to those who criticize. We learn from their observations; we are forced to reevaluate the way we do things. For the last few weeks, we have all been exposed to a massive airing of criticism of Augusta Mental Health Institute. Now it is time to act as your February 10 editorial suggests. One of the most frustrating things about the discussions of the last few weeks for people who work at A.M.H.I. is the view expressed by so many state officials that this whole problem is sure a surprise. This makes the employees angry because they have been telling this story for the last several years. Most officials choose not to listen and many who heard evidently chose not to believe. We have held public demonstrations, filed class action grievances, held public forums, and spread this problem all over our union newspaper, the Maine Stater, a publication which all legislators and top state officials receive every month. Last June, for example, well before the incidents that have lead to the current hearings, we published interviews with employees at A.M.H.I. One worker said, “Our Mental Health Workers are overwhelmed. My own priority is to keep the peace, give minimal, custodial care.” Another worker: “When I came in last Friday, I accepted, the floor under protest, because I could not assure the safety of patients.” Similar comments were made by all employees interviewed. So when state officials say they were surprised by the events of July and August, we have to assume they gave no weight to the views of the people who work for them. When the Legislature considered this issue in Special Session last fall, the Department of Mental Health said it needed 65 positions. In behalf of employees, MSEA presented a detailed request for 129 positions. The legislature listened to the Department. While that is understandable, not taking the time to make an independent determination of who was right does not leave them blameless. And it leaves the employees angry. We live in an age when no one seems to give any weight to the views of the people who do the work, and worse yet, workers are often blamed for all shortcomings. This last week, the newspapers of this state have been full of stories quoting those who blame employees for the very conditions that employees have been screaming to get fixed. We’ve even heard from people who say the answer is to close the Institution. Maybe this brings us to the heart of the A.M.H.I. problem. This is ultimately a political problem, building for a long time. The problem has come down to this: those legislators who

care most about mental health and human concerns have become the most hostile to institutions. In this frame of mind, they have been reluctant to dedicate funds to keeping the institutions in good shape. Meanwhile, those who wish to spend less money on mental health push community-based alternatives as ways to save money. Governor Jim Longley wanted the state to completely eliminate one of its hospitals, and he put this forward as part of his cost savings plan. No one should be misled. If the patients are to receive comparable treatment outside institutions, it will cost more money to do it. The legislators who care about mental health know this, but they are reluctant to say so, because they know such frank truth would lose them allies for their own deinstitutionalization agenda. So the problems at our institutions become insufferable, while no one ever faces all the issues surrounding community-based care. If we are to make real progress, we must face the complete reality of our situation. We must accept our institutions as the resource we have right now and act to make them healthy and helpful places again. At the same time we need to begin hard analysis of what has been spent to date on community treatment: what it has cost per patient, and the level of care the patient actually received. Then we must determine what it would cost to do the job right for people now being treated in the community, and what it would cost to provide care to more patients at various levels of treatment. Then decision-makers must decide what we can afford to do. What is feasible? It is time for these realities to enter this debate. After the administration and the legislature ignored what the workers said was needed, and after the Commissioner’s plan was in effect, last month A.M.H.I. workers worked a record 5200 hours of overtime. They didn’t want to do it. They know it doesn’t provide for the best treatment to have overtired, stressed workers on the wards for up to 60 hours a

week. But there were just not enough people to do the job. So, they risked their own safety and health and put in the extra hours. While they were doing this thankless work, they were being criticized by others who would not roll up their sleeves and help these sick people. Yes, we need the critics — the advocates, the commissioners, the legislators — but they must keep in mind that they need those few people who care enough to do this job. If this truth is not faced very soon, the critics are going to look around and see no one to care for the patients at A.M.H.I.

Bargaining for sixteen new contracts for our 10,000 active MSEA members may be on center stage for 1989, but the union is pursuing a number of important goals in the 114th Legislature as well. Though the first session of the Biennium has been slow in getting under way, public hearings on many bills will be in full swing during the rest of February and March. MSEA has submitted eight bills this year. Several directly complement the bargaining process. Our primary focus is to protect our members’ rights — or recapture them, as in the instance of our proposal seeking to return Department of Environment Protection positions to classified service — while maintaining the quality of Maine public services. MSEA legislation is outlined below. Our bills for the most part have not yet been assigned L.D. numbers, but sponsors have been listed. The union is grateful for their leadership and support! Updates on key bills will be provided to MSEA leaders and other members seeking further information. To assist those who wish to get involved in the legislative process, our 1989 Legislative Guide has been included in this Stater.

M S E A L e g is la tio n • An Act to Protect the Integrity of the Civil Service System and Set Standards for the Contracting of Service to the State. Sponsors: Sen. Beverly Bustin, Sen. Charles Webster, Rep. Omar Norton, Rep. Ruth Joseph. “Privatizing” public services — putting them out to bid to contractors — is a growing concern MSEA is addressing head-on this year in the political process and in contract talks. Protecting members’ jobs is a top priority and ensuring that public services are effectively and reliably performed for Maine citizens is equally our goal. This bill establishes comprehensive standards which must be met by State Government before it contracts for services outside the Civil Service System. Notice of intent to contract out must be provided to employee representatives, and to the legislature’s Appropriation Committee. The Commis sioner of Administration may hold hearings on contracting-out proposals when requested to do so. • An Act to Return Certain Positions Within the Department of Environmental Protection to the Classified Service Under the Civil Service Law. Sponsors: Sen. Muriel Holloway, Rep. Harriet Ketover, Rep. Jim Oliver, Rep. Paul Jacques. This bill repeals the amendment to the 1988 appropriations bill which declassified six division director positions in the Department of Environmental Protection. The amendment made these positions subject to political appointment. No other department has division directors who are subject to political appointment. Because they are regulatory and enforcement positions, they should be free from political pressure, and the most qualified candidates hired under Civil Service Law. • An Act to Clarify the Definition of State Employee under the State Employee Labor Relations Act. Sponsors: Sen. Stephen Esty, Rep. Richard Ruhlin, Rep. Edward McHenry, Rep. Omar Norton. This bill would remove the phrase "substantially partici pates in the formulation and effectuation of policy in a department or agency” from present law (26 M.R.S.A., Section 979-A). This language has been relied on to try to remove hundreds of state positions from collective bargaining through petitions to the Maine Labor Relations Board. The statute already excludes major policy-influencing positions from state bargaining units, as well as confidential positions with major roles in collective bargaining and contract administration. Excluding these other positions from collec tive bargaining serves no governmental purpose, increases patronage, and substantially curtails career ladders within bargaining unit job series.

• An Act to Promote Recruitment and Retention of State Educational Personnel. Sponsors: Sen. Barbara Gill, Sen. Stephen Bost, Rep. James Handy, Rep. Wendy Ault. This bill would amend the Education Reform Act to provide that a bargaining representative for state teachers and related job classifications may seek to bargain over salaries if state legislation affecting teachers salaries in local schools is passed. Our bill would ensure that state teachers be able to seek parity with other teachers. • An Act to Equalize State Retiree Health Benefits. Sponsors: Sen. Nancy Clark, Sen. Tom Perkins, Rep. Donnell Carroll, Rep. John Lisnik. An increasing number of state retirees have been required to enroll under Medicare in recent years, resulting in less coverage for those retirees than for retirees covered under the state health insurance plan. This bill provides that the state reimburse retirees required to enroll in Medicare for the cost of monthly Medicare Part B premiums. The state would also provide supplemental insurance which would equalize deductibles and coverages so retirees enrolled under Medicare would have the same health coverage as retirees under the state plan. • An Act to Improve the Pension Cost-of-Living Adjustment Under the Maine State Retirement System. Sponsors: Sen. Joseph Brannigan, Sen. Pamela Cahill, Rep. Dan Hickey, Rep. Barbara Strout. This bill would remove the 4% cap from all future pension cost-of-living-adjustments under the Maine State Retirement System. The cap has resulted in substantial loss to inflation for retirees, many of whom rely on these pension benefits as their sole or primary source of income. Cost-of-living adjustments under Social Security are not capped. This bill bases future cost-of-living adjustments on the Consumer Price Index. • An Act to Fund and implement Heclassifications with Maine Maritime Academy Employees in Collective Bargaining Agreements Represented by MSEA. Sponsors: Sen. Michael Pearson, Sen. Tom Perkins, Rep. Donald Carter, Rep. Ruth Foster. This bill would fund a study of job classifications at Maine Maritime Academy and establish an account to find job reclassifications expected as a result of the study. • An Act to Fund and implement Changes in Health Insurance Benefits in Collective Bargaining Agreements with Maine Maritime Academy Employees Represented by MSEA. Sponsors: Sen. Michael Pearson, Rep. Donald Carter, Rep. Ruth Foster, Rep. Richard Gould. This bill would fund dependent health insurance coverage negotiated for MMA Employees. • An Act Relating to Licensing of State Social Workers. Chief Sponsor: Sen. Beverly Bustin. This bill would extend the date for licensing of social workers employed by the State by one year, and mandates that the State provide the supervision required by law for all social workers who must be licensed to perform their job duties. P r o p o s a ls to W a tc h There are some areas where MSEA expects to see legislation affecting members which bears close scrutiny. • Disability retirement. The Maine State Retirement System is proposing changes to its disability retirement program which have the potential for both positive and negative results. Rehabilitation of disabled workers would be encouraged by a proposal to have the State pay for rehabilitation programs, but the Retirement System would also change the rule to determine a disabled employee’s ability to do his or her job by reducing the time determination allowed from five years to two years. Also proposed is a change in the rule concerning outside income disabled

L o b b y i s t Carl Leinonen has joined MSEA’s staff as our new Legislative Director, replacing John Lemieux, who has taken the position of MSEA Chief Counsel. A native of Waldoboro, Leinonen has an undergraduate degree from Bowdoin College and a Master’s degree in Economic;* from the University of Massachusetts, Amherst. Before coming to MSEA, he served as Executive Director of the American Federation of Teachers in Maine, where he was involved in a variety of union activities including lobbying, organizing, and negotiating teacher, healthcare, and municipal employee contracts. He also worked for the AFT in Connecticut as a field representative. "i hope to be up to speed as soon as possible representing MSEA members in the Legislature,” Leinonen said. “I’m focusing particularly on the issue of contracting out of state services. We have a major piece of legislation in to protect MSEA members’ jobs and the quality of State services they provide to Maine people.” Leinonen is a member of the Commission to Study the State of Nursing and Healthcare Professions in Maine, which will soon make recommendations to the Legislature about the problem of personnel shortages in the health care field. He lives in Augusta with his wife Mary and two children.

workers may earn without affecting disability income —from a maximum of $10,000 per year to one-third of average final compensation. Discussions on these proposed changes, which include representative of public sector unions, are still going on. • Vocational-Technical Institutes. There may be legisla tion proposed affecting the operation of the VTI’s. MSEA will be closely monitoring any developments.

At least one piece of legislation will be proposed to outlaw mail-order drug plans in Maine. MSEA members active and retired have saved millions of dollars through use of the mail-order prescription plan established in 1987 by the Labor-Management Committee on Employee Health. Any legislation proposed in this area we consider an attempt to place restrictions on marketplace competition which may be unconstitu tional. H loss of this valuable program would adversely affect you or your family, please contact Donna Davis or Norman Benoit at MSEA (622-3151 or 1-800-4528794) so that MSEA can be sure your story is told to legislators.

Anita Dubois works daily in a crowded comer office located in Lewiston City Hall where she shares desk and interview space with three other city workers. Traffic is constantly coming and going: Lewiston citizens seeking assistance wait on benches just outside the office door for appointments with these employees of the Department of General Assistance. Dubois has been a caseworker for the department for four years, serving as a resource for people in need. A former veteran’s counselor for the Red Cross, she’s done this kind of work before. “I love this job,” she said, in an afternoon interview with the Stater, “but I’m able to do it and leave it at the door.” Laughing, she described her earlier counselling job as a time when “I was firmly convinced that the only time veterans ever got assistance was when they came to us.” Her work in the Department of Assistance is steady, but not overwhelming. “When I first came here, we were seeing an average of a hundred people a day. It’s about thirty or forty now,” she said. “Unemployment was higher then.” Dubois provided a thumbnail description of her job as having many “social worker-type” duties. “We provide people with shelter and funds for food and rent. We get people into a system — whether it’s AFDC, Social Security, or Vocational Rehabilitation — and try to enable them to help themselves. There are now more resources for people with marginal skills than in the past.” Elected as Local 5’s President this January, Dubois spoke enthusiastically about upcoming contract talks for Lewiston city and school employees. “We have some specific issues we’re after,” she noted. “Holidays — Martin Luther King day and the Friday after Thanksgiving. It seems almost all other public workers have those holidays.” She ticked off other Local 5 concerns: reclassifications, job safety (friable asbestos in some of Lewiston’s school buildings is a problem, and pay. “There’s got to be some kind of increase,” she added.

Anita Dubois “Our bargaining committee has met, made nominations for the team,” Dubois said. “I’m certainly on it. We’ve started planning strategy.” People were waiting to see her. She said she’d been an MSEA steward for two years and is now a chief steward. She recently attended MSEA’s leadership conference in Augusta. “The training has been good,” she said. “I’d like to see more Saturday workshops like the recent one. The best part of being a steward has been that we’ve been able to handle many problems right here, with the personnel director. It makes it a lot easier.”

MSEA’s Annual Steward Conference will be held at the Atrium hotel in Brunswick on March 31 -April 1, 1989. All stewards and chief stewards have been invited and are encouraged to come. The agenda for the two-day meeting will include workshops on using the contract in each bargaining unit led by MSEA field staff; rights of stewards, grievance handling, and a full review of the grievance procedure. Other sessions will cover the union’s new workplace health and safety program; bargaining, legislative, and affiliation updates; direct-action problem solving for stewards; and the reclassification process.

The Maine Stater welcomes letters from MSEA members on issues of general concern to the mem bership! Start Coming to Chapter M eetings

Highway worker Gordon Smith of Augusta hoses down a DOT vehicle at the Winthrop lot before the crew heads out for another day of winter work.

To the Editor: The last issue of the Stater sang the praises of MSEA’s tentative affiliation with SEIU and of big unionism. As chapter president prior to and just after the delegate vote to affiliate, I was (and am) in a position to hear much opposition regarding affiliation. Perhaps if membership had been fully aware of how far beyond their mandate the Affiliation Committee went and had been aware of that sooner, the vote at the Convention would have been different. Perhaps not. During and after the Convention I heard from a lot of people who said they weren’t represented there. Asignificant number of members have written letters of resignation, disgusted, mainly because they didn’t get to vote (individually) on such an important issue. Quitting at this point, however, doesn’t do anybody any good. Members should convert their disgust into action and involvement. Remember, the agreement with SEIU is tentative. What that means is that members can start coming to chapter meetings and/or at least let their sentiments be known to leadership. It also means that members should elect delegates to the Convention who will truly represent the views of the body. Randy Brown Past President Probation-Parole Chapter

MSEA’s Retirees Steering Committee was visited in January by SEIU retiree representative Bill Dodds who provided information on the activities of the National Council of Senior Citizens (NCSC). Following affiliation, MSEA retirees have now automatically become members of the NCSC, which offers benefits to retirees and lobbies in their behalf on Capitol Hill. Dodds discussed the problem of the high cost of health care coverage and the need for organized informed lobbying of Congress by retirees on recently-passed catastrophic care arid soon-to-be considered long term care legislation. Above, left to right: Retiree Jackie Bilodeau, Bill Dodds, Retirees Connie Sapiro and Margaret Anderson.

The Service Employees International Union recently surveyed a nationwide sample of their retired members on a variety of topics, receiving a 50% response. The sample included retired service workers and public employees in many occupations and provided SEIU with a valuable profile of their activities, needs, and wishes after a lifetime of work.

Dr. William Deering of Bangor testified before the Legislature’s Aging, Retirement and Veterans Committee in Augusta on February 2 before being sworn in to a three-year term as retiree representative on the Maine State Retirement System’s Board of Trustees. Deering, an MSEA retiree and former member of the Retirees Steering Committee, has served one year as a trustee to complete retiring trustee Fred Kenney’s unexpired term. Testifying in support of his nomination by Governor John McKeman were MSEA President Jim Webster, Rep. Willis Lord (R-North Waterboro), and State Treasurer Sam Shapiro (seated behind Deering in the photo above).

Maine’s continuing nurse shortage has meant serious recruitment and retention problems for the State’s Mental Health and Mental Retardation and Corrections Institutions. It has also created an environment allowing a second negotiated pay increase for nurses represented by MSEA at these facilities. The new agreement calls for a $1.00 per hour base pay increase for registered nurse classifications (RN’s), and a $.50 per hour base pay increase for licensed practical nurses (LPN’s). LPN’s will also get an increase in shift differentials. The agreement has been ratified and is effective retroactive to January 2, 1989.

MSEA negotiator Chuck Hillier worked with a team of nurses to gain the pay raise. “We’re especially pleased that we were able to get management to recognize that the pay increase was necessary for both RN’s and for LPN’s,” Hillier said. Both areas have a recruitment problem. Nurse team members: Robert Plouffe (an LPN at Pineland Center); Linda Purlngton (an RN at Pineland); Vera Gillis (RN at AMHI); Eileen Lorenz (RN at Maine State Prison); Paul Caron (RN at BMHI), Sandra St. Germain (RN at BMHI); Marlene Donahue (LPN at BMHI); and Joan Spruce (LPN at Maine State Prison).

MSEA has launched a broad-based campaign to negotiate sixteen contracts covering all our active union members in 1989! Following a (nevertheless) busy year, without significant bargaining, the time has come to return to the table and address the needs of Maine’s public employee workforce. Bargaining committees for each unit have been formed by volunteer members; Bargaining Teams have been elected or soon will be; surveys have been sent out and specific contract proposals developed. This year, MSEA will be making a special effort to keep members informed about the progress of contract talks in each bargaining unit. Our campaign also aims to provide as much information as possible about public employee concerns and contract bargaining to Maine citizens, whose support we seek and need. Bargaining for our five executive branch units officially began February 1. Other units — Local 5 in Lewiston, Maine Court employees VTI employees — win be at the bargaining table shortly. Maine Turnpike Employees will be negotiating later in the Spring. 1989 promises to be a year for hard work and hard bargaining! Support from afl our members is crucial. Each contract settled and signed is your contract; help us get what you want!

MSEA President Jim Webster made the following remarks at his February press conference in Augusta announcing the start of 1989 bargaining: We are here today to announce a campaign for Maine, a campaign for “Public Service: A Resource Worth Preserving.” In behalf of all sixteen bargaining units we represent, MSEA is now at the beginning of an important round of contract talks with seven Maine public employers: The Maine Judicial System; The Maine Turnpike Authority; The City of Lewiston, The Maine Maritime Academy; The Vocational-Technical Institutes of Maine; and the Executive Branch of Maine State Government. We enter negotiations at a time when we have generally constructive and cooperative relationships with each of these public employers, but also a time when the^ needs of employees are very real and the ability of these

government employers to continue to attract and keep good employees is seriously in doubt. These needs cannot be ignored. They can’t be solved without serious commitment of the employers’ part. Even with goodwill on both sides of the bargaining table, these issues cannot be addressed without public understand ing and support. Solving these problems must include restoration of public employee earning power, catching up with changes in the private sector. But the issue is not just base pay. • Plowing and maintaining our roads in Southern Maine is made difficult because we cannot attract workers. • We have difficulty bringing quality teachers to Maine Maritime Academy and to state institutions.

• Attracting and retaining quality clerical personnel to keep the paperwork moving affects all our public employers. We can’t keep health care personnel at AMHI, BMHI, and Pineland to assure the well-being of our sick and handicapped population. • Work is contracted out at great public expense because draftsman, engineers, and others can’t be attracted to do this work. Getting the public’s work done depends on giving us the right tools to do the job, improve our skills, and advance and improve ourselves. Now is a time that Maine public employers are uniquely able to address these problems. We submit that Maine must have no higher priority.
