Members Pack Town Halls to Learn More About Salary Study Findings

This week's five town halls drew packed crowds with CSUEU members eager to get a preview of a report on the CSU compensation program for non-faculty staff.

The salary study was a collaboration among our Union, Teamsters 2010, and the CSU, as well as other labor groups.

The report, due to the state Legislature by the end of April, determined that the CSU's wage structure issues can be addressed through a $288 million budget augmentation. When finalized, the report, along with Frequently Asked Questions, will be posted at www.csueu.org/advocacy

Get ready to mobilize and activate the #FundOurFuture with #GoodJobs campaign in May.

WHAT'S NEXT:
In May, we will launch a postcard and email blitz to reach Gov. Gavin Newsom and every state legislator. We need state funding in order for the CSU to reform its salary structure to better retain and develop Support Staff who are essential to student success. Get ready to mobilize!

Virtual Lobby Day 2022

The Legislative Committee strongly encourages you to get involved! See your chapter leadership/steward to see what you can do to help fund our study! 

CSUEU Legislative Committee leadership Vicky McLeod and Sarah Schraeder spent two days this week (April 19-20) racing from Zoom to Zoom meeting with key legislators and legislative staff in support of our salary study. 

This is just one part of our lobby plan that involves writing legislatures as well as having campus visits with local legislative leaders in the areas.
