      1. Introduction 2023apr18 This Finance section is about:
        1. salaries and other benefits of people represented by NYSCOPBA,
        2. NYSCOPBA's budget, income, and payments.
      2. Salaries 2016-2023 2023apr18 NYSCOPBA SALARY SCHEDULE We think that these salaries were paid by NYS government to SSU-01 and SSU-21 staff pursuant to a contract with NSSCOPBA. The contract's name is "SECURITY SERVICES UNIT 2016-2023 AGREEMENT BETWEEN THE STATE OF NEW YORK AND NEW YORK STATE CORRECTIONAL OFFICERS AND POLICE BENEVOLENT ASSOCIATION, INC." Slightly above, we refer to "SSU-01 and SSU-21 staff." As far as we know, SSU-01 staff are eligible for arbitration. SSU-01 job titles include correction (not"corrections" or "correctional") officer, correction officer trainee, correction sergeant, community correctional center assistant, and institution safety officer. As far as we know, SSU-21 staff are not eligible for arbitration. Those staff are in SSU for salary and benefit purposes. Their job titles include security hospital treatment assistant, safety and security officer, security services assistant, security officer, and campus and public safety officer. We learned some of the information in this part from an HTML page, nade by the NYS government, with title "Security Services Unit (SSU) - 01 and 21 | Office of Employee Relations."

        To learn more NYSCOPBA court cases and administrative agency cases, go to our pages about clients and cases of the Sheehan and Lippes firms. You may want to learn NYSCOPBA's NLRB" cases. Did you know that there is an NLRB case in which NYSCOPBA is the employer?

      2. Law Firms
        1. Main firm
          1. current (12 December 2022), main law firm Albany office of Lippes Mathias Wexler Friedman LLP 54 State St., Suite 1001 Albany, NY 12207 USA phone (518) 462-0110. Keith Richard Jacques is a Lippes partner who worked for client NYSCOPBA.
          2. previous, main law firm Sheehan Greene Golderman & Jacques 54 State St., Suite 1001 Albany, NY 12207 USA phone (518) 462-0110. Lawrence Henry "Larry" Schaefer was a Sheehan lawyer who worked for client NYSCOPBA. The Lippes and Sheehan firms are intimately related to each other.
          3. Litigation and Lobby Clients The Lippes and Sheehan firms represented NYSCOPBA and some of its members in various cases. The Lippes firm may have lobbied, or at least done lobby-related work, for NYSCOPBA.
          4. legal expenses in 2019 NYSCOPBA sent the IRS a form 990 about year 2019. NYSCOPBA paid $3,161,001 for legal expense (form 990, part IX, 11, b). NYSCOPBA paid the Lippes firm $3,142,467 for legal service (form 990, part VII, B, 1). Those numbers imply that NYSCOPBA seems to have paid about $19,000 for legal expense that were not paid to the Lippes firm.
        2. K&I (Koehler & Isaacs, LLP) 2023apr22 Legal Services Southern Region Only Koehler & Isaacs, LLP 61 Broadway, Floor 25 New York, NY 10006 (917) 551-1300 fax (212) 551-0030 sisaacs@koehler-isaacs.com Was K&I ever a law firm of NYSCOPBA? What connection, if any, is there between K&I and NYSCOPBA? Did NYSCOPBA recommend or suggest K&I?


      3. Punishing an officer during a court case 2023nov13 When there is a court case against DoCCS because of a DoCCS officer's supposed mistreatment of a prisoner, winning the court case is more important to the AG's attroneys and to DoCCS than punishing the officer. There is no attempt to punish the officer until after the case ends. Most cases end long after the supposed mistreatment. The OER-NYSCOPBA contract forbids starting disciplinary proceedings long after supposed mistreatment. Therefore, some, guilty, DoCCS officers escape punishment. We wrote the opinion above under the influence of Amanda Fries's quotation from an email messsage from attorney Elizabeth Koob. The quotation is in an article, "Prison staff remain on payrolls despite excessive force lawsuits." The article, which is by Amanda Fries, was published by Poughkeepsie Journal on 30 September 2015.

    10. Miscellany
    11. 2023sep16
      1. Introduction our main source datanyze.com The union represents over 26,000 NYS people (employees and pensioners), most of whom are DoCCS people. NYSCOPBA began in May 1998. Accrding to a source of (old?) information we have, NYSCOPBA has over 50 employees. Do they have a union?
      2. C.O.s and sergeants 2024may9 At DoCCS, NYSCOPBA represenrts C.O.s and their supervisors, who are sergeants. If a C.O. starts a grievance proceeding because he is mistreated by the sergeant who supervises him, does NYSCOPBA help the C.O., the sergeant, both, or neither? DoCCS lieutenants have their own union, Council 82. At New York City's NYPD, there is a union for police officers who are not part of management, and a different union for sergeants. Number of C.O.s, sergeants, and lieutenants 2011-2024
      3. Street addresses NYSCOPBA Main office 102 Hackett Blvd.. Albany, NY 12209 USA (518) 427-1551 Leicester, NY Office 52 South Pkwy. Leicester, NY 14481 USA (585) 382-3120 Newburgh, NY Office 21 N Plank Rd Newburgh, NY 12550 USA (845) 563-8700
      4. Jargon: correction, corectional, corrections 2023sep16 The state government's Department of CORRECTIONS employs CORRECTION officers. A union with "CORRECTIONAL" in its name represents those officers.





    12. Name of NYSCOPBA
      1. DoS and IRS According to the NYS DoS, which created the corporation, NYSCOPBA's name is "NEW YORK STATE CORRECTIONAL OFFICERS AND POLICE BENEVOLENT ASSOCIATION, INC." "And" is part of the name, not "&." The union often states its name with "&" instead of "and." For example, union treasurers used "&" in IRS form 990 about years 2016-2020: treasurer David Viddivo (2016), treasurer Toby Hogan (2017), and treasurer Frank Gilbo (2018-2020). The tax preparer of the forms 990 about 2016-2020 was Brian G. Leyden CPA, 7 AIRPORT PARK BLVD, LATHAM, NY 12110.
      2. U.S. Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit 2023aug23 After the Lippes firm lost a pension case in NYND trial court, the firm appealed to the United States Court of Appeals, Second Circuit. Lippes lost the appeal. The appeal court's order was published 27 Jul 2022. The case number is 18-3151-cv. The appeal court's order is published by casetext.com. In the appeal, the lead plaintiff-apellant's name, as it appears in the name of the case, is "NEW YORK STATE CORRECTIONAL OFFICERS & [sic] POLICE BENEVOLENT ASSOCIATION, INC." The union's name does not really include "&." According to the court's Summary Order, another plaintiff-appellant's name is "DONN ROWE, INDIVIDUALLY, AND AS PRESIDENT OF NEW YORK STATE CORRECTIONAL OFFICERS & [sic] POLICE BENEVOLENT ASSOCIATION, INC." The union's name, if spelled correctly, does not include "&." We don't know who caused the mistake. Usually, a case's name is created by the law firm of the party which starts the case. NYSCOPBA started the case. It used the Lippes firm's Albany office. Attorney Schaefer handled the case. We don't know why the case's name has "&" in the union's name.
      3. NLRB Some NLRB web pages have "&" in NYSCOPBA's name.
