What is SLOCEA?
In 1947, SLOCEA was founded by a group of county employees who felt an organization was needed to help improve the salaries, benefits, and working conditions of all San Luis Obispo County employees. These SLOCEA "pioneers" negotiated for many of the benefits that we take for granted today. Among these are a civil service system, a 40-hour/5-day workweek, a County retirement plan, and significant gains that we now consider basic to employment with the County.

Our Mission
The mission of the San Luis Obispo County Employees' Association is to advocate for fair compensation, safe working conditions, affordable healthcare and a secure retirement for our members, who provide vital services to the public.

Members Run the Union
SLOCEA is a nonprofit organization that operates on dues voluntarily paid by its members. SLOCEA is the exclusive representative of these County bargaining units: Clerical; Supervisory; Public Services; and Trades, Crafts & Services. SLOCEA also is the exclusive representative for the Court Supervisory bargaining unit and the represented employees of the Los Osos Community Services District. From this general membership, three officers (president, vice president, and secretary/treasurer) and 16 directors are elected. Reporting to the Board is a paid staff consisting of a General Manager, a Field Representative, and general office staff personnel. The officers, Board and staff implement policy and manage SLOCEA.
