OCERS
OCEA members at OCERS are represented by union stewards and a professional staff of labor relations representatives. Standing together, every OCEA member at OCERS plays a role in achieving better wages, retirement security and fair rights on the job.
The information below is a resource for all OCEA members at OCERS. Below, you will find a list of stewards and staff representatives for OCEA members assigned to OCERS. You’ll also find the Memorandum of Understanding (MOU), which is the negotiated union contract that sets forth the wages, hours and working conditions guiding your employment. And you can also find updates and news from OCEA about what’s happening in your agency and across the County.

March 20, 2020
In compliance with Governor Gavin Newsom’s March 19, 2020 order, OCEA is further limiting the number of workers stationed at our headquarters at 830 N. Ross Street. The OCEA building has been closed to the public to limit contacts that could lead to a transmission of the COVID-19 virus. What is not being limited in any way is the exclusive representation OCEA staff continues to provide to you and your fellow OCEA members. Please see the graphic below illustrating how to reach all of OCEA’s divisions and services. Every member of our team remains on the job and available through telecommuting.
