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 />
