As we kick off 2025, our greatest wish is that union solidarity and goodwill abounds for you and your chapter sisters and brothers. As always, we union members have a lot of work to do to make sure our workplace voices and rights are protected! We're stronger than ever when we focus on solidarity, fairness and a voice for all. As we join together in unity for another year in the name of protecting public union members, here are just a few union goals to kick off the new year.
- Attend your OCSEA chapter meetings. Contact your local chapter leaders for the schedule or contact the OCSEA Members Resource Center at 888-OCSEA.org or MRC@ocsea.org.
- Sign up to get union updates (and encourage other members to sign up too). Get weekly email updates HERE. Sign up for mobile alerts by texting OCSEA to 237-263.
- Attend an OCSEA Conference or training. Watch OCSEA emails and bulletin boards for upcoming conferences as well as steward and contract trainings. The first OCSEA Conference of 2025 will be the Committee on Minority and Community Affairs (CMCA) Conference in late March. Stay tuned!
- Promote being UNION in your community. A strong labor movement is dependent on the members that make up the union. The more unified we are, the more leverage we have against attacks by management, legislation that minimizes union rights, and union-busting across the nation. Learn more about the union difference at afscme.org/difference.
- Take a co-worker/friend to a union event. Encourage co-workers to attend a union chapter meeting or chapter solidarity event. If you know of a rally or strike support event happening near you, make sure to take friends and family members to educate them on the importance of solidarity in the workplace.
