Solidarity is Our Strength OCSEA's 36th Biennial Convention August 28-30, 2025 Hilton Cleveland Downtown, 100 Lakeside Ave. East, Cleveland, OH 44114 Ph: 216-413-5000, ext. 1
“Solidarity is Our Strength”
This year’s convention theme, “Solidarity is Our Strength,” emphasizes the power of our union when we work together with unity and determination. As we gather for our biennial convention, there is much to discuss about the challenges and opportunities facing organized labor. Collective bargaining rights in Ohio are under attack once again and our union brothers and sisters in the federal workforce are losing their jobs in unprecedented numbers. Our theme also looks to the future of public service and how, by working together, we can grow and adapt to keep our union strong. As we have proven through the years, when we stand shoulder to shoulder as members and leaders of OCSEA, there is nothing we can’t accomplish through solidarity!
