Bargaining Updates
Collective bargaining with the various CSU unions is conducted by the CSU's systemwide Labor Relations Department. The Labor Relations Department negotiates statewide agreements with the various CSU unions, and those agreements govern the wages, hours and working conditions for union-represented employees at the 23 CSU campuses and the Chancellor's Office.
