Employee organizations serve many purposes for employees and they work with the City toward common goals.  A primary purpose of these organizations is to represent employees on matters such as pay, work hours, and grievances.  State laws guarantee your right to join an employee organization.

At present, the City formally recognizes seven employee organizations:

Fullerton Municipal Employees Federation (FMEF): Represents most non-safety, non-management employees, including maintenance, clerical, technical, professional and most library personnel.

Fullerton Management Association (FMA): Represents non-safety management employees except Confidential employees and Executives.

Fullerton Firefighters' Association (FFA): Represents non-management fire safety employees.

Fullerton Fire Management Association (FFMA): Represents Division Chiefs and Battalion Chiefs.

Fullerton Police Officers' Association - Dispatcher Unit (FPOA-D): Represents Police Dispatchers.

Fullerton Police Officers' Association - Safety Unit (FPOA-S): Represents non-management Police Safety Employees.

Fullerton Police Management Association (FPMA): Represents Police Captains and Lieutenants.

There are two other employee units, the Confidential and Executive, but they are not formally recognized pursuant to state law.  The Confidential unit consists of employees whose duties include assisting certain department heads with employee relations matters.  The Executive unit consists of department heads and the City Manager.

Information concerning the various associations is available from your association representative; a list of the representatives' names is available in Human Resources.
