The new California State Budget was approved and the CSU system received a promised increase. Question is ; will the CSU honor our contract and compensate the staff. STOP THE STEAL. Skilled Trades workers are having their wages stolen by the CSU for the last 366 days.

Is this good news or more fake promises?

What say you Mildred?

July 1, 2026

Dear CSU Colleagues,

 On Monday evening, Governor Newsom signed the 2026-27 California Budget Act into law. The final budget contains the funding levels for the CSU first proposed by the governor in January and reflected in the administration’s May Revision.

 The budget is positive news and a powerful affirmation of the administration’s and legislature’s belief in the CSU – and we are extremely grateful for their ongoing support of our mission and the transformational power of higher education.

 The funding levels will allow the CSU to continue to drive California’s workforce and economy, and advance the implementation of CSU Forward, the most ambitious and forward-focused systemwide strategic plan in the history of the CSU. Additionally and more specifically, this support will better position the CSU to manage rising mandatory costs and focus on other key priorities, such as employee compensation, enrollment growth and facilities improvements.

 Again, I offer the governor and legislature my sincere gratitude for their support. And I thank the many of you from throughout the CSU community who participated in our systemwide advocacy this budget cycle – your efforts are deeply appreciated and were impactful.

 I wish you an enjoyable summer and, as always, thank you for everything you do for the CSU and the students we serve.

 Warmly,

 Mildred García, Ed.D.

Teamsters File New Unfair Labor Practice Charge as CSU Continues Bad Faith Bargaining

https://teamsters2010.org/wp-content/uploads/6.26.2026\_FILED-\_T2010-ULP-Charge-CSU-Refusal-to-Bargain-LR.pdf

Teamsters Local 2010 filed yet another Unfair Labor Practice complaint with the State Labor Board on Friday, June 26, after CSU continued its bad faith bargaining during our latest bargaining session on June 23.

During that session, CSU failed to respond to our Union’s salary proposal and continued to refuse to negotiate multiple years of guaranteed raises. CSU again indicated that they will not commit to guaranteed raises for our members until there is a signed State budget. Such a stance undermines the entire collective bargaining process and is absurd given the substantial multi-year agreements countless other employers across California have agreed to, including contracts that CSU has agreed to in the past. CSU increasingly stands alone as the worst public sector employer in California even as it stands to receive hundreds of millions in new, ongoing funds in next year’s State budget.

Workers are fed up with CSU's disrespect and bad faith bargaining. CSU can afford to be fair with workers, but instead only hands out raises to overpaid executives while zeroing out workers who make the system run. Teamsters are leading the fight for fair treatment of CSU workers, and we are ready to do whatever it takes until we win."
