Pledge your support for your Bargaining Team: Learn how!
OCSEA's Bargaining Pledge Card Solidarity Drive is underway through January 12! This Pledge Card drive is the first of many ways your OCSEA Bargaining Team, working with the local chapters, will be reaching out to members to build support. Every chapter was given enough pledge cards for every member of their chapter to sign one and continues to reach out to members asking for your tried and true support of the OCSEA Bargaining Team!
Every member who signs a card of support will not only help build strength for a strong contract but will also be entered to win prizes weekly!!!
It's your OCSEA Bargaining Team's goal to cover the walls of OCSEA’s Headquarters with the signed pledge card section so when we negotiate in our Union Hall, management will see that our Bargaining Team has the support of the entire OCSEA membership behind them. It’s symbolic, yes. But it’s much more than that. No one can stand on the sidelines. We need everyone involved in this fight.
So, it may start with a Pledge Card Drive, but next time it could be asking everyone to wear a button or sticker or wear an OCSEA t-shirt. Later, we may need members at a rally or a demonstration or to take some other action. This is going to be a contract negotiations like none other.
🏆 Pledge Card Weekly Raffle
Besides building our solidarity, the Pledge Card Drive will give you a chance to win prizes each week.
OCSEA members who sign a pledge card will be entered into a weekly drawing for gift cards, laptops, and other electronic devices.
There will be drawings for eight weeks. Two gift cards and an electronic prize will awarded to members EACH WEEK!
The sooner we receive your card, the more chance you have of winning a prize. Members who sign a card will stay in the drawing for the entire length of the raffle campaign or until they win! It is recommended that you sign your pledge card immediately and hand it directly to your chapter leader so they can return it quickly.
If you have any questions about the process, please contact chapter president or contact the Member Resource Center at 888-OCSEA11(627-3211) or MRC@ocsea.org.
