Hi, Everyone -
I'm Erin, and I'm one of 10 Bargaining Team members who
are getting ready to sit down with CSU management to negotiate our
first-ever contract.
There's a lot of talk right now about the state budget
and that's because May-June is peak budget season, with the state
Legislature having a deadline of midnight June 15 to pass the budget
bill.
As California's newest block of unionized workers in
Higher Ed, should we be paying attention? YES!
If you want to know what a state budget is and how it
affects the CSU and our contract negotiations, we've put together a Q&A
about the budget. I hope you find it
useful.
Our message around the budget is this: CSU staff and
students are the engine of California’s economy; we call on the
Governor and Legislature to keep campuses operating at the highest
possible level.
