Advocating for policies that empower SMUD employees and strengthen our community is at the core of OSE’s mission.

Workplace Rights

OSE is dedicated to protecting and advancing the rights of SMUD employees. This includes advocating for fair labor practices, ensuring workplace safety, promoting equity and inclusion, and safeguarding protections against unfair treatment. We work to ensure your voice is heard in decisions that affect your professional life.

Public Utilities Advocacy

As part of a publicly owned utility, we champion policies that enable SMUD to deliver clean, reliable, and affordable energy. This includes advocating for state and federal support for renewable energy initiatives, grid modernization, and measures that enhance operational efficiency without compromising employee well-being.

Economic Benefits

Fighting for better wages, improved benefits, and enhanced retirement security is a top priority. Our legislative efforts focus on ensuring SMUD employees receive competitive compensation, comprehensive healthcare options, and sustainable retirement plans that reflect the hard work and dedication of our members.

Community Investment

OSE believes in giving back to the communities we serve. We advocate for legislation that prioritizes sustainable development, environmental stewardship, and programs that directly benefit SMUD’s customers and neighborhoods. Strong communities mean a stronger future for us all.
