The CSU recently made a significant investment in artificial intelligence, and where the AI revolution takes our society is unclear. But as University workers, we most definitely have an important role in shaping how we use the technology to perform our job. CSUEU's AI Advisory Committee has put together a survey to gauge Staff's attitudes, familiarity, and experiences with AI. The survey will also collect feedback to identify areas where training and support are needed. Take a minute to complete the short survey; we'll share results next month!

CSUEU President Catherine Hutchinson sent a message last week providing an update on the status of Salary Steps. As the message noted, on Oct. 1, the CSU will place CSUEU-represented employees on the next salary step above their current pay, except those already at the top of the scale.

 

This is a partial implementation of the salary structure we fought for. We are not stopping until we win full Steps implementation. Read the FAQ for more information about the difference between partial and full implementation and what to expect in 2026.

 

There's still time to add your name to our Steps petition. Tell the CSU we are not backing down!
