Big Thank You to Nick

Nick Weinraub

Nick Weinraub is the supervisor of 250 Stater Bros trucks. They have been working 7 days a week to meet the needs of the community during this time. Nick took time out of his busy day to bring us 500 Stater Bros bags for students to take home Chromebooks so they can continue learning during this time of school closures. He is married to Karen Lewis, a wonderful first-grade teacher at Bryant Ranch.

Thank you Nick and Karen!

2019 We Honor Ours (WHO) Awards

OSCC honors and thanks leaders who make a difference for students and instructors.

OSCC could not be the successful organization it is without the leadership of hundreds of local members who work tirelessly at the bargaining table, reaching out to members, providing guidance on grievances, campaigning for education-friendly trustees, and in general strengthening their chapters. These local education and union activists were honored at the Spring OSCC  WHO Awards Dinner in Costa Mesa.
