On October 27, the CSU announced a tentative agreement on a successor contract with the
California State University Employees Union (CSUEU). The new three-year collective bargaining
agreement will run through June 30, 2020. CSUEU is the university’s largest staff union and
represents more than 16,000 CSU employees. These employees work in a wide variety of
positions ranging from registered nurses to custodians, police dispatchers and accountants.
“Every CSU employee contributes to the success of our students, and I’m delighted with this
agreement that now awaits ratification. We value all of these contributions, from daily
interactions with students to the behind-the-scenes work that goes into keeping campuses
operating,” said CSU Chancellor Timothy P. White. “Recruiting and retaining employees of the
highest caliber are vital to our efforts to improve student achievement through Graduation
Initiative 2025, so it is imperative that the CSU provide appropriate compensation.”
Under the successor collective bargaining agreement, CSUEU-represented employees will
receive three percent general salary increases on July 1, 2017 (retroactive), July 1, 2018 and July
1, 2019.
Current full-time employees will receive a one-time employee recognition bonus of $650 on
ratification of the successor agreement by the CSU Board of Trustees. Employees in less than
full-time positions shall receive the recognition bonus pro rata to the time-base of their
appointment.
Effective July 1, 2017, salary schedule minimums below $2,600 per month will be increased to a
minimum of $2,600 per month.
Additionally, effective July 1, 2018, CSUEU-represented employees new to the CSU shall receive
full health benefits upon retirement at age 52 with at least 10 years of service credit. (Currently
employees may retire and receive full benefits after five years of service credit).
