OCFA Negotiations Update: Thursday, June 30
June 30, 2022
On Monday, your bargaining team met again with OCFA management. In a continued display of the disregard for the struggles that you and your family have faced with higher inflation and gas prices, OCFA has not changed its proposal of a total of 1.25% for a two-year contract (0.625% per year). Additionally, while management has stated that it would like input for a classification and compensation study, it has rejected our demand for a guarantee that nobody has their salaries frozen as a result of the outcome of that study.
