GCEA Board of Director’s Meeting August 2025

August 3^rd is a National Watermelon Day & probably the best month to enjoy the sun on the water. Watermelon is 92% water. 92 is also an average age many seniors consider a “good innings” assuming good health & mental sharpness. Studies show that this can be achieved by regular exercise routine. We can help you & your employees achieve this magic number of 92!!

 Our gym memberships are only $28/month without long term contract & no enrollment fee. In addition, receive 1 on 1 free coaching online once a week for free. That’s less than a $1/day to live healthy.  Join today by clicking on the flyer & visiting the gym tab!!

Last month, in a unanimous decision, the U.S. Supreme Court reinforced equal protections under Federal law for public employees who experience discrimination in the workplace. The case is Ames v. Ohio Dept of Youth Services. This month, we will look more closely at the case and the impact it may have on public employees in California.

The regular meeting of the Board of Directors was held on June 18, 2025, in person in the Perkins Room and via Teams. Meeting was called to order by Patty Mundo, Vice President at 12:10 pm. Roll was called. Guests in attendance: Anna Osborne, CEA

Parents have long had to juggle work demands while also prioritizing their families. Unfortunately, the U.S. is a bit of an outlier amongst developed countries in that there is no federal law that provides for paid pregnancy leave or baby bonding leave. However, there are state and federal laws that protect the rights of parents. It can be a lot to sort out. This month, we will explore some of the options that might be available.

Family Medical Leave Act (FMLA) & California Family Rights Act (CFRA)
