CSUEU is working
with the CSU, Gov. Gavin Newsom (through the
Department of Finance) and the Legislature on a salary study to provide long-overdue reform to the CSU's
broken salary system. At this time, Gov. Newsom is our most
reliable ally as we continue to press for more equitable pay for
CSU's Support Staff.
Have you voted “NO”
signed and returned your recall election ballot? If not, CSUEU
urges you to do it today! Voter turnout for the September 14th
election will decide whether Gov. Newsom remains in office to
support CSUEU’s efforts to improve support staff salaries.
If Gov. Newsom is
replaced by any of the Recall candidates running to unseat
him, all that we have fought for to improve staff salaries will
be lost. We fought hard during the state budget to have the
Governor sign budget language providing $2 million and directing
the CSU to work with CSUEU to hire an outside firm to assess
support staff salary disparities. The budget language Gov. Newsom
signed also directs the CSU to implement the study’s
recommendations.
Gov. Newsom has
also directed the CSU to negotiate in good faith and reach an
agreement with our Union to eliminate employee salary inversion
and provide salary steps. Our last Governor vetoed our STEPS
bill. The pandemic derailed these negotiations and talks.
If Gov. Newsom is
removed from office, these hard-fought efforts will become
futile.
We urge you to vote
“NO” on the recall – the sole issue being decided in this
election – and return your ballot today! Not voting will only
help Newsom’s opponents. Only by voting “NO” will our progress
continue to improve the salaries of CSU support staff.
During his term as
Governor, Newsom expanded paid family leave, guaranteed that
every worker receives paid pandemic sick leave, achieved
universal pre-K education for all children, provided $600
stimulus checks for those earning less than $75,000 a year and
protected millions of renters from eviction.
STOP the Recall.
Vote “NO” on
whether Gov. Newsom should be recalled. Sign and mail your
postage-paid ballot today! >> More election information
