Contract road shows offer glimpse into historic contract<br />

To help <strong>OCSEA</strong> chapters prepare for the ratification process<br />

in early December, <strong>OCSEA</strong> officers, bargaining team<br />

members and staff traveled to every <strong>OCSEA</strong> district to<br />

discuss the first-ever, agreed-upon contract extension.<br />

<strong>OCSEA</strong> Pres. Christopher Mabe and the team talked about what<br />

exactly this contract is worth to <strong>OCSEA</strong> members and their families<br />

and thanked activists for their efforts to repeal SB 5 – which gave<br />

the union the strength to bargain such an historic contract.<br />

See pages 4-5 for more on the historic contract extension.<br />
