2019 OC Sanitation District Negotiations Survey

2019 Negotiations are fast approaching. You, the employees and members of our association are who makes the Orange County Sanitation District run. This is your opportunity to let your bargaining team know what your concerns and priorities are for our upcoming negotiations. We gather this information in order to gain an overall direction of where the membership thinks we should head. While not every idea may make it as a proposal, or make it to a final agreement, it is pertinent that you put down your true thoughts and ideas so that we may best represent your interests at the bargaining table.

Surveys must be submitted by 5 p.m. Wednesday, Nov. 21, 2018
