Your OCEA Negotiations Team met with management representatives on June 2, 2022. This was the first time the negotiations team met since speaking out at the May JPA Board meeting. For over one year, the OCEA Negotiations Team has been meeting with OCFA representatives to secure a fair MOU. The lack of respect from OCFA Management and JPA members has been incredibly disappointing.
