Is your OCSEA contact information up to date?
There are a few things you can do to make sure you stay connected, especially as we get closer to state contract negotiations later this year. Make sure your contact information is up to date with the union so you get all the bargaining updates throughout the process. This includes double checking your personal email, home address and a personal cell phone number.
Update your contact information in your member-only MyOCSEA profile by logging on at OCSEA.org/sign-in. You can also send contact updates to the OCSEA Member Resource Center (MRC) at MRC@ocsea.org or by calling at 1-888-OCSEA11 (627-3211) to make sure your information is up to date. PERSONAL EMAIL IS KEY! Bargaining news is for members only!! Have a good personal email on file with the union. We highly discourage the use of state emails for bargaining correspondence.
