May Day Reminds World the Power of Workers United

Just in time for May Day, the government's latest data shows unionized workers in the U.S. saw record raises while nonunion workers’ pay barely kept up with inflation.

"Wages of private sector union workers rose 6.3% in the year ended in March, the largest increase in data back to 2001," reported Bloomberg News, using data from the Bureau of Labor Statistics. Meanwhile, nonunion workers in the private sector saw a 4.1% bump in their salaries over the past 12 months.

Shout-out to union members who came together this week to celebrate International Workers' Day on May 1. At Channel Islands, pictured above, union members stood in solidarity from from APC, CFA, CSUEU, Teamsters, UAW, and SQE. #StrongerTogether 

CSUEU Student Assistants Submit Sunshine Proposal to CSU

CSUEU Bargaining Unit 15 kicked off their first-ever contract negotiations and submitted the Sunshine Proposal this week. 

As Student Assistant Lysette Melendez, a Bargaining Team member, shared in an email to fellow workers, the five core bargaining demands student workers have are: 

• Higher wages
• Sick pay
• Holiday pay
• Pay for all hours worked
• Affordable parking

Our demands are very baseline and we expect the Chancellor’s Office to work with us in the bargaining process to reach them.

We are looking for member leaders in units 2-5-7-9 who would like to be a part of the Unit 15 contract campaign. You can let us know here. CSUEU members will follow the negotiations closely and demonstrate our support when needed!

CSUEU Statement on Campus Protests

Campuses from Columbia University to Cal Poly Humboldt are part of a growing movement led by college students who are protesting the Israel-Hamas war.

Public protests are a singular and powerful way for citizens to come together and express dissent in a democracy.  We support students' courage in speaking up against all injustices, for that is also the foundation of all workers' movements.
