Contract Negotiations

The CSU-AAUP membership has voted overwhelmingly, 821 to 86 to approve the 2007 – 2011 proposed Contract.

The CSUS Board of Trustees held a special meeting on Friday, February 9 and the agreement was unanimously approved. The Contract was submitted to the General Assembly by close of business later that day.

Further, the CSU-AAUP/BOT 2007-2011 contract was approved by the General Assembly. According to law, if the General Assembly fails to vote to approve or reject a collective bargaining agreement within thirty days of filing with the Clerk’s Office, it is automatically approved. The thirty-day period for our contract ended as of the close of business on Monday, March 12.

The new contract goes into effect on August 25, 2007. The contract requires the Board of Trustees to print the Collective Bargaining Agreement within ninety days of Legislative approval with sufficient copies for distribution to all full-time members of the bargaining unit. Part-time members shall be provided with a hard copy, upon request of their university Human Resources Office.

SUMMARY OF CHANGES

Following are the original proposals exchanged between the parties (CSU-AAUP and CSU-BOT) on September 28, 2006. The AAUP proposals were written by our negotiating team, based on the priorities established by the CSU-AAUP Council at its May 2006 meeting. These priorities were based on the suggestions and recommendations received from the membership at our four universities. In some instances, the AAUP negotiating team had to balance competing interests from various constituencies. While each negotiating team can make counter proposals to proposals already made by the other party, no new proposals can be made during the course of these negotiations.

The AAUP negotiating team has two representatives from each of the four universities. These team members serve as liaisons between the team and the membership. All questions and comments should be directed to the representatives from the respective university.
