Important! OCEA Safety Survey

As the reopening of the economy ebbs and flows and we experience yet another wave of increased COVID-19 cases, you and your co-workers continue to perform your jobs in increasingly uncertain conditions. Your input is critical for OCEA to adjust its demands to meet new circumstances as they evolve. To collect the information we need to advocate for your safety we request that you and other OCEA members complete an important Safety Survey.

Click here to complete the survey.

Last year, thousands of OCEA members submitted Safety Survey responses that provided critical information about safety gaps in the workplace. Those responses led to OCEA's strong demands for additional PPE, improved sanitization, expansion of telecommuting options, and other worker safety protections.

Please complete and submit the OCEA Safety Survey by Sunday, August 29th at 11:59 p.m. All responses will be kept confidential and will only be shared with your OCEA representative.

We know the only real leadership we can count on is the Union Strong leadership we provide ourselves. Thank you for fighting for the health and safety of our community and your coworkers.

In Solidarity,

Charles Barfield
OCEA General Manager
