OCSEA, the Ohio Civil Service Employees Association, operates in the Government Relations Services sector and represents nearly 35,000 state and local government workers across Ohio. The group is based in Westerville, Ohio, and is affiliated with AFSCME, a nationwide union within the AFL-CIO. Its jurisdiction covers all State of Ohio employees, excluding university and college staff, and includes other non-state employees for whom OCSEA holds exclusive bargaining representation as certified by the State Employment Relations Board as of January 1, 1996. OCSEA's core purpose is to support members in achieving job success, fair compensation, dignified treatment, and a safe, healthy working environment through a collective voice in the workplace. A notable development in recent years was the December 2023 launch of a union discount college benefit option offering up to 50% discounted tuition for OCSEA members and their extended family.
