From labor talks at California’s largest public university system to a Halloween costume controversy and a deadly rural crash, here’s a roundup of recent Sacramento-area news. The California State University system reached a tentative agreement with the CSU Employees Union , which represents about 14,500 staff including custodians, nurses and IT specialists. The deal includes a salary step system and a $3,575 bonus in December, with members voting by Nov. 17, even as the faculty union prepares for a possible strike.

The California Highway Patrol said the Honda Pilot driver turned left into the path of a southbound Chevrolet Silverado about 6:50 p.m.; the pickup driver suffered minor injuries.
