Member founded and governed since 1947, SLOCEA fights for their members at the negotiating table and represents individuals in labor related issues.

Who Are We?

Member Founded

Founded in 1947 by a group of less than 50 County employees, SLOCEA now represents more than 1,500 members County-wide.

Member Governed

Members elect the Board of Directors, Negotiating Teams, and vote to accept or reject Memoranda of Understanding (employment contracts.)

Local Control

SLOCEA is completely independent, so your dues stay right here in SLO County, funding your membership benefits and keeping you, the members, in control of your Association.

Membership Dues

SLOCEA’s dues structure was built to ensure all members dues are equitable and affordable.

Monthly dues are 1% of the member’s regular gross bi-weekly wages, with a $45 biweekly maximum.

SLOCEA Leadership & Staff

  • Board of Directors

    SLOCEA is governed by a Board of Directors, elected by the Membership. They serve on Committees that oversee Association finances, bylaws, member benefit programs, and more! Monthly Board meetings are open to all SLOCEA members.

  • Stewards

    The presence of active and effective Stewards at work-site locations increases member participation, helps to educate and inform the membership and creates a united coalition working to foster improved benefits for its members and educating the membership on their rights.

  • Staff

    SLOCEA employs a team of full-time labor representatives and office staff to support and assist members in workplace issues and navigating the many benefits available to SLOCEA members. Give the office a call if you have a question or need the assistance of a labor rep!
