Today we celebrate that OCEA members were able to negotiate a new contract BEFORE the expiration of the current one, and that the negotiated increases are higher than LA County, and the highest wage increases in a contract this year for County workers across all Southern California counties.

We are happy to report that the Board of Supervisors adopted our agreement by a 5-0 vote! This vote is the culmination of so much hard work and planning by OCEA members and leaders. For the first time in decades, we will not go past expiration on our MOU, and we are confident this is the start of a new day in OC.
