Sanitation District Negotiations Update: June 22, 2022

Dear OCEA member,

Thank you to those of you who joined our urgent meeting today to discuss the current status of negotiations. This morning we had a negotiations session with the District and we appear to be closing in on reaching a tentative agreement. The District’s lead negotiator must still obtain additional authority from the District’s steering committee. Our most recent proposal was for a 9.5% general wage increase over three years; 1% deferred compensation; and a one-time lump sum of $850.

The OC San Negotiations Team will meet with the Steering Committee tonight to discuss the possibility of authority. If the Steering Committee provides the authorization, we should have a tentative agreement with additional value to present to members for a ratification vote. We will have more information after tonight’s meeting and will keep you posted of any updates.

In Solidarity,

OCEA
