Deadlines Approaching: Court Negotiations Survey & Negotiations Team Applications
Dear OCEA member,
As you know, Superior Court negotiations will begin in a few short months. Negotiations are where we come together as Court workers to fight for the things that matter most at work—wages, benefits, leave and holidays, work schedules, and so much more. These are the reasons we stand together in our union.
The initial step in this process involves completing the Negotiations Survey. Please complete the Negotiations Survey by end of day Tuesday, May 20. This is YOUR CHANCE to make sure your voice and priorities are heard. This survey is a vehicle for you and your co-workers to express your opinions on negotiations topics and positions.
While wage increases are always a priority, it is essential to convey to Court Executives how strongly OCEA members feel about various issues and what you consider fair. The position is reinforced when we can report that numerous OCEA members have completed the survey and request further action.
During the last MOU negotiations, we secured a wage package higher than neighboring counties and avoided concessions. We achieved this through our union's unity and readiness to act. Let's unite again to fight for what is fair.
If you are interested in representing your co-workers on the Superior Court negotiations team, please click here and complete the application by the end of day Friday, May 9.
In Solidarity,
Team OCEA
