Student-workers across the California State University (CSU) system announced their vote to create the nation's largest union of undergraduate workers was successful Friday.
A vote commenced across all California State University campuses on Thursday, Jan. 25 for student assistants to form their union with the California State University Employee Union. The union is aiming to improve working conditions for student employees. Students who have been employed on a CSU campus since May 2023 are eligible to vote to.
The California State University Employee Union has been expressing their frustrations over their wages and protested at Matador Square against the current open-range wage system they are placed under. Despite their attempts to bargain with the CSU and the Board of Trustees, they have not reached their goal to increase their salaries. Jim Philliou, executive.
