Through the Political Action Committee, The Coalition helps promote Council Members that have the best interest of CSMCE in mind. We work closely with the City Council to ensure that Santa Monica remains a great place to live. Currently there are petitions and movements to change PERS retirement that could directly affect all of us.

The Employee Retirement Benefit Trust was established by the coalition of bargaining units representing all permanent employees of the City, except Fire and Police sworn personnel. The Trust was established to provide reimbursement to retired employees for part of their medical insurance premiums.
