Social Services Agency
OCEA members in the Social Services Agency are represented by union stewards and a professional staff of labor relations representatives. Standing together, every OCEA member in the Social Services Agency plays a role in achieving better wages, retirement security and fair rights on the job.
The information below is a resource for all OCEA members in the Social Services Agency. Below, you will find a list of stewards and staff representatives for OCEA members assigned to the Social Services Agency. You’ll also find the Memorandum of Understanding (MOU), which is the negotiated union contract that sets forth the wages, hours and working conditions guiding your employment. And you can also find updates and news from OCEA about what’s happening in your agency and across the County.
Stay informed: Union news that affects you!
Retirees in Action Committee Kickoff - May 13!

OCEA needs you! What does that mean? In 2017, a retired employee/steward began volunteering two days a week as an “Intern” for OCEA.

Soon after, a steering committee was formed of retired OCEA leaders.

OCERS pension update - January 2019
January 18, 2019
Making sure that your pension is there for you when you leave public service is my top priory. My colleagues on the OCERS Board—Russell Baldwin and Frank Eley—feel the same way. Russell also serves with me on the OCEA Board of Directors and Frank Eley is a former OCEA president now retired from County service. Last October, you demonstrated your faith and trust when you resoundingly reelected me to the OCERS Board. I want to thank you for your confidence.
