OFFICE CLERICAL UNIT

We represent OFFICE CLERICAL labor in the Southern California area for the transportation industry since 1959.

We have successfully negotiated and currently administer 22 contracts with shipping industry employers.  OCU Contracts provide excellent opportunities (work stability, lengthy tenure and excellent benefits) to the members and workers covered under said agreements.

• First, to unite in one organization, all office clericals within the jurisdiction of the Unit, regardless of race, creed, color, national origin, religious or politcal beliefs;
• Second, to negotiate and secure suitable agreements covering all classifications of work performed by its members;
• Third, to at all times endeavor to maintain and improve the wages, benefits, hours and working conditions for all its members;
• Fourth, that true unionism will always be its aim and principle and the Unit shall be nonpartisan and nonsectarian;
• Fifth, that the Unit will encourage its members to be committed to a workplace environment free of discrimination, unlawful harassment and any conduct that threatens, intimidates, or coerces another office clerical.
