Welcome to OCSEA Bargaining 2027!

We’re excited to start mobilizing around OCSEA State Contract bargaining. The key to strong mobilization is making sure our message is tight and cohesive, and that we’re unified as union members to support our Bargaining Team every step of the way. And that means making sure every OCSEA State union member takes an active role in this year’s negotiations. ONLY with a massive showing of member solidarity and just plain union strength will management feel the REAL pressure to agree to the Teams’ demands.

The OCSEA Bargaining 2027 theme is a simple message we can all get behind: “Our Contract! Our Future!” We chose this theme because our state contract is more than a book—it's the result of 40 years of hard work, sacrifice, and solidarity. Now it is our responsibility to honor that legacy and fight for a contract that protects our rights and secures our future.

We encourage you to use this OCSEA Bargaining 2027 Toolkit as a guide as we build support through the process. This branding toolkit will provide members and local chapters with materials to promote the “Our Contract! Our Future!” campaign. It will include logos, informational flyers, social media sharing graphics and more. Please visit OCSEA.org/Bargaining often for bargaining updates!
