Your OCFA bargaining team met with OCFA leadership and negotiator Peter Brown on Thursday, August 5th. We were expecting to hear the JPA Board of Directors’ response to our wage increase that each of you and your families deserve. The JPA Board meeting on July 22nd resulted in two significant points of failure. First, the JPA Board failed to respond to our offer. Second, and more importantly, the JPA Board did not grant the OCFA negotiating team authority to discuss economic proposals at the table. The JPA Board’s message to you is clear: your financial security is not their priority.
