Santa Monica Municipal Employees Association

The MEA is hosting a Question & Answer Session for members to explain the Agreement on Monday, February 24 from noon to 2:00 pm in SMI. PLEASE JOIN US!

As the Coalition continues to work towards a settlement with the City, there has been some positive movement and the General Membership Meeting is postponed. The meeting will be rescheduled for a later time to allow the group to provide employees with the most current information! Please help us spread the word.

Today we stood strong with the Coalition of Santa Monica City Employees. We appreciate your support and will do our very best to keep you informed of our progress as we continue the fight!

Loving it!! #NationalCoffeeWithACopDay / #NationalHotChocolateWithACopDay

Contract Update!! August 22, 2019: Back pay and the increase is anticipated to be reflected on your September 6th paycheck!... A quick update on the successor MOU: After an undue delay on the City’s end, the terms and conditions of the 1-year agreement was finally on the agenda for Council and approved this month on August 13th. As you will recall, the short term deal includes a 1.5% across the board salary increase, with an additional .2% in the form of a one-time lump sum payment. We made it clear to management that we will not tolerate any further delay in getting this finalized for the membership. We don’t anticipate any further delay, but, if for any reason, the bonus and increase are not reflected on the September 6th check, the Association will take immediate action to compel the City to implement the terms as agreed. Reminder, membership will receive the increase, including back pay to the first pay period in July. Stay tuned, as we will back at the table negotiating in just six months or so. We know bargaining for the next fiscal year will be a tough fight, so we encourage everyone to begin thinking about what pay, benefits or other work condition improvements we may want to address when we go back to the negotiating table. Thank you for your continued support!
