Orange County Employees Association (OCEA) is the largest independent public-employee labor union in Orange County, Calif. We represent 18,000 public employees in their collective bargaining with public agencies.

Founded in 1937, our organization is directly responsible for many of the benefits negotiated by public employees throughout the County of Orange, and the commitment of our members has gained recognition throughout the state. Although the association was small at first, it has grown and evolved into a strong organization that provides a great deal to its membership.

When most people think of OCEA, they immediately think of our members employed by the County of Orange or Superior Court, but we also represent employees of many cities and special districts throughout the County.
