The OCSEA contract with the State of Ohio, also known as the collective bargaining agreement (CBA), is the guiding principle for state bargaining unit members in regard to wages, health benefits, safety on the job, leaves, schedules and so much more. The contract guides all rights at work as well as the employee grievance procedure.
This round, the OCSEA Bargaining Team kept focused on members’ biggest priorities: getting money into employees’ pockets that wouldn’t be eaten up by major increases in health care. At a time when Ohio public sector wage increases are averaging 2.3 percent per year, the OCSEA Bargaining Team secured above average increases of 2.75 percent in 2018, 2.75 percent in 2019 and 3 percent in 2020…8.5 increase over the life of the contract.
