In an amazing show of union solidarity and humanity, OCSEA convention delegates came together yet again for another important cause. In this case, it was to help raise donations for union sisters and brothers greatly impacted by the Maui wildfires. Nearly 300 AFSCME members are from the devastated town of Lahaina. 

Friend of Labor, Ohio's U.S. Senator Sherrod Brown stopped by the OCSEA Biennial Convention on Saturday morning and got a rousing reception from delegates who know he "talks the talk" and "walks the walk" when it comes to unions and the importance of the labor movement.

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!
