Don't Let The County Pick Your Manageable Caseload Number!

Dear OCEA member,

Calling all OCEA Senior Social Workers and Senior Social Services Supervisors in CFS!

THE TIME IS NOW to provide your input and complete this brief Caseload Target Survey.

It is critical we collect input regarding all case-carrying positions so we can represent each assignment in upcoming discussions with the County. While the survey is directed mostly toward SSWs currently in these positions, we welcome input from all. If you are a SSSS in one of these programs, we want to hear from you! If you are a SSW who recently left one of these assignments, we want to hear from you, too! And please add all pertinent feedback to any of the open-ended response boxes. Our team will review each completed survey in depth for consideration in our next steps.

The survey deadline has been extended to Friday, April 21, 2023, to allow you the time to complete your survey.

The caseload target survey link has been emailed out twice already—on March 22 and March 29. Currently, we only have 65 survey respondents. We know all of you are extremely passionate about manageable caseload levels—THE TIME IS NOW TO TAKE THIS IMPORTANT SURVEY!

If any of your peers aren’t receiving our emails, please ask them to visit the OCEA website at ocea.org and register to opt in for OCEA emails with their personal (non-work related) email account. You are also welcome to share this email and the survey link with them. If you would like flyers with QR codes to the survey for your program, message OCEA Labor Relations Representative Kerensa Schupmann at kschupmann@ocea.org.

If you have additional questions, please contact us at (714) 835-3355.

In Solidarity,

YOUR OCEA SSA TEAM
