Final Call: 2026 Negotiations Survey Closes Friday

Dear OCEA member,

The 2026 County Negotiations Survey closes at 5 p.m. this Friday, November 21.

This is your last chance to influence what we stand for at the bargaining table. The County is already claiming economic hardships. We need to show the County that we are united!

The Negotiations Survey is the first of many steps in Negotiations. But it starts with you. The bargaining team can only fight for the issues that are represented in the data. If your concerns aren’t recorded, they won't be part of our strategy when we meet with the County next spring.

Nearly 4,000 of your co-workers have already completed the survey. They have shared what matters to them—wages that reflect the cost of living, proper staffing levels, workplace protections, and more.

Now we hope to hear from you if we have not yet. It takes just 10 minutes.

Click here for the survey.

In Solidarity,

Judy Bowling
OCEA President
