History The Ohio Civil Service Employees Association was formed on April 15, 1938, by James Bowman, a Department of Liquor Control employee from Cleveland, who lost his job for political reasons. In the early years, OCSEA leaders became frustrated by the legal battles, needed in the civil service fight. Legislative changes were just as frustrating because pay raises and employee policies could be reversed by a simple re-vote or change in administration. COLLECTIVE BARGAINING In the 1960's, OCSEA began looking seriously at collective bargaining as a solution. Slowly, OCSEA gained membersonly contracts for employees in a number of departments such as ODOT, MH and MR. But even these contracts were of limited scope.The demand for full-scale public employee collective bargaining grew. In the 1970's OCSEA introduced its first collective bargaining legislative proposal. Several such bills were passed by the General Assembly only to be vetoed by Gov. James Rhodes. Not to be defeated, OCSEA kept up the pressure. A new bill was successfully introduced in 1982 and signed into law by Gov. Celeste, July 6, 1983. |
