Career Staff Vote on Contract 2026-29

Vote Ratification Period Ends Nov. 17 

Nov. 11 - After a half-year's worth of Bold & Blue marches, rallies, and legislative lobby, CSUEU members are now deciding whether to approve the tentative agreement our Bargaining Team reached with the CSU.

More than a dozen virtual town halls have been scheduled throughout the voting period - with a few sessions presented in Spanish - so that members can better understand what's in the contract.

CONTRACT HIGHLIGHTS

Year 1:

  • Bonus checks in December 2026 for all employees on payroll as of Nov. 13, 2026, prorated by time-base ($3,575 for 1.0 FTE, $1,787.50 for 0.5 FTE, etc.)
  • Full implementation of salary steps effective July 1, 2026
  • 1.2% Salary Structure Adjustment, retroactive to July 1, 2026
  • 4% GSI for employees not on steps
  • 3% bonus for red-circle employees

Year 2: 

  • Step movement for eligible employees (not at Top Step, equivalent to 2% increase)
  • 2.3% SSA for employees on steps
  • 4% GSI for employees not on steps
  • 3% bonus for red-circle employees
  • The agreement also includes the establishment of committees that will address campuses’ over-use of temporary employees, chronic classification issues, recruitment practices, and inequities between campuses around boot and uniform allowances.

Voting ends at 12:01 p.m. on Nov. 17. CSUEU membership will immediately be notified of results. The Board of Trustees is scheduled to vote whether to approve the contact on Nov. 18.
