California State University's largest labor group, representing 14,500 employees, reached a tentative agreement with the university system this week that will address longstanding issues with salary steps and provide workers with more financial stability. That's according to a news release from the California State University Employees Union. CSUEU represents a wide range of university employees, including healthcare professionals, maintenance workers and administrative support staff. The new contract will provide those workers with "long-awaited salary reforms," according to the union's announcement. The contract, if approved by union members and CSU's Board of Trustees, will fully establish salary steps and make changes to the salary structure for CSUEU-represented employees. Over the three-year life of the contract CSU staff will receive between 8% and 12% salary increases on average, depending on their bargaining unit. There is an option to reopen the contract in 2028. Eligible full-time employees will also receive a $3,575 bonus check, while part-time workers will receive a prorated bonus in December. Union President Catherine Hutchinson
