CSUEU
and CSU Are Back at the Bargaining Table Over
Wages & Benefits
|
|
Seems like just
last year we finalized our contract with the CSU – and in fact,
we did. But now it’s time to “re-open” the wages and benefits
section of the collective bargaining agreement and our Bargaining
Team is ready!
The CSUEU and CSU
Bargaining Teams met on Friday via Zoom, presenting our
opening proposal. Our goal is to have a contract that implements
the recommendations of the Mercer salary study, with 5% annual
steps increases for employees with positive performance
evaluations.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The CSU indicated
their opening proposal, to be presented at the first
bargaining session on Feb. 17, will include steps. The CSU is
very committed to a step-based compensation structure, they said,
as is the CSU Board of Trustees.

CSU Begins Process of Selecting Next Chancellor,
Holds Open Forums
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
There will be three open forums this week for
members of the CSU community to participate in person or
virtually as the Board of Trustees begins the
process of hiring the next chancellor. The forums, which start
today, provide an opportunity for participants to share
their thoughts and expectations of the next chancellor.
Registration is not
needed to attend any of the forums in person or virtually.
Participants who wish to provide comments virtually must register in advance.
This will be the
CSU's fifth chancellor over a period of two years, reflecting a
clear crisis of leadership. The chancellor represents the entire
CSU system, the largest public university in the U.S., and helps
to set and execute the vision of the University. The immediate
challenges facing the CSU are declining student enrollment and an
inability to hire and retain qualified personnel.
We need a chancellor
who will sharpen the commitment to the CSU mission of educating
first-generation college students while serving as an engine of
opportunity for University employees.

"We are seeing the direct results when CSU
leadership does not adequately invest in staff and students:
extremely high turnover among staff, leading to loss of qualified
and experienced personnel," said CSUEU President Catherine
Hutchinson. "The trickle-down impacts students leading
to interrupted services and loss of institutional knowledge. We
have to do better than stagnant wages and status quo
leadership."

Right On The Money
|
|

"The CSU is
partnering with Kaiser Permanente to offer employees a
four-week financial education program called, "Right On The Money."
Presented as a game
to be played on a desktop or mobile device, the
challenge allows participants to choose topics most relevant
to their life stage and financial interests.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
"You’ll be
surprised how much you learn - and the confidence you gain - just
by playing a game," according to the informational
brochure.
The "Right On
The Money" challenge begins Feb. 6 and runs through
March 5. Registration, and the option to join a team, closes
on Feb. 10.
You can learn more, watch a video and register today for the
"Right On The Money" challenge!

A movement
that started 30 years ago is finally seeing results. Staff,
faculty and students at CSU San Marcos never ceased advocating
for the removal of an anti-immigrant's name attached to a
prominent building on campus.
The name change is
so important for our DEI, Latinx, migrant and undocumented
communities, said Vanessa Vincent, San Marcos Chapter
President and Chair of CSUEU Diversity, Equity and Inclusion
Committee.
