After months of negotiations, OCSEA members working for the state of Ohio finally have a new contract. In addition, the bargaining team was able to maintain the emergency wage language that the state wanted to eliminate. From the beginning, the negotiations had been a roller coaster, especially since state officials claimed that the pandemic had created economic “uncertainty” that prevented them from paying a living wage. The state`s initial economic proposal was to cut wages by 4 percent, freeze measures, and introduce “savings days” that would have cut the wages of state employees by an additional 4 percent. OCSEA members approved the preliminary agreement prepared by their bargaining team and came into effect on April 21. Wage regulations come into force on 1 July.
