Voice of OC: Is OCFA on Fire?
September 9, 2022
Thank you for your continued support as we stand together for a fair contract for OCEA members at the Orange County Fire Authority. We know these needlessly drawn-out negotiations have been difficult for you and your families, but we are rallying the support of the community and gaining momentum, which we hope will create movement at the bargaining table.
Happy Labor Day from OCEA
September 5, 2022
As we gather with our families and friends this year to celebrate Labor Day, I hope you will take a moment to celebrate yourself. These past few years in the pandemic have redefined our lives in many ways, but through it all your dedication and service to the County, Cities, Districts–and most importantly, the communities–which you serve is unparalleled.
