Update - Merger of CST, Senior CST and CSA classifications

Dear OCEA member, 

As you know, the Sheriff's Department and OCEA have had multiple conversations over the last two years regarding a possible merger of the CST, Senior CST and CSA classifications. Rumors have recently been circulating regarding the potential merger and how it will be implemented. 

We want to let you know that nothing has been finalized and that current discussions have been placed on hold due to the budgetary impacts of the Coronavirus pandemic. When discussions resume, we will let everyone know, but as of now, we are in a holding pattern and there is no guarantee that anything will be implemented at this point. 

Please contact me at apeardon@ocea.org should you have any questions or concerns. 

In Solidarity,

Aaron Peardon
Senior Labor Relations Representative
