Annual Open Enrollment Begins Sept. 16

One-Time Special Enrollment Opportunity

One of the many benefits of being CSUEU-represented employees at the CSU are the CalPERS and CSU-sponsored benefit plans that cover health, dental and life insurance. Check out the 2025 basic plan rates for healthcare.

There is also a one-time opportunity to enroll or increase your voluntary life insurance (up to $100,000 for yourself, $50,000 for spouse) without answering medical questions.

Thanks to our strong negotiated contracts, CSUEU members have the lowest health cost coverage among state employees. Be sure to take full advantage of all the benefits before open enrollment closes on Oct. 11.

CSUEU Unit 15 Student Assistants Mobilizing to Build Membership Power

Are we ready for largest student worker membership drive in history? YES we are!

Student Assistants voted in overwhelming numbers earlier this year to form their union with CSUEU - and next month we can join them to sign up the next generation of union members at the CSU.

Bargaining Team member Kaily Brooks made a short video that lays out what's at stake this fall. Check it out on Instagram or YouTube.

"Our priority right now is to continue organizing workers on campus. This fall we are launching the largest student worker membership drive in history. We know that strong unions win better wages and working conditions for all of us."

- Kaily Brooks, SDSU, Student Assistant Bargaining Team Member

New Member Spotlight!

This week's "New Member Spotlight" features Vinna Chan, Administrative Support Coordinator at Chico.

"I joined CSUEU because I love my campus. From the students we help to the faculty and staff we work with, this campus has been my home for many years. To keep such a delicate and special balance equitable and to give other academic support units the same, fair experience, it is important to join the union and share our experiences."

If you sign up a co-worker to join CSUEU, make sure to take a selfie - like Vice President for Representation Jessica Westbay did - and send it to communications@csueu.org !
