Friday night of convention, delegates kicked back and enjoyed a night of union camaraderie with live music performed by the rock band The Resilient. The Resilient is an American rock band primarily made up of severely wounded U.S. combat veterans. They’re all about rocking out and making music that reflects their experiences in both their civilian lives and military careers. Check out some photos of the night below!

The second day of convention was another action-packed day. The convention started out with a bang with some true heroes of labor. Ohio AFL-CIO President Tim Burga and AFSCME International President Lee Saunders were the morning's special guests. Both are fan favorites with union activists, not only for their straightforward talk, but for their grit and determination that keeps unions strong in Ohio and across our country.

Resolutions are approved by the union delegation and call for OCSEA to take a stance on a wide range of specific issues that impact public employee union members. Delegates, on the recommendation of the Resolutions Committee, adopted all proposed resolutions on Friday afternoon. Those include recommitting to New Employee Orientation, celebrating 40 years of collective bargaining, fighting public sector attacks, standing up to privatization, supporting labor-friendly candidates and more.
