Union Dues Reduced by 10%

The Union Board of Directors approved this action at the June 2009 Board meeting, and headquarters has taken the necessary steps to ensure that employees' first paycheck reflects this decrease. This will have an impact the CSUEU statewide budget, but the board believes that it is absolutely necessary even though it is not required under the law.

Union Headquarters has notified the Board of Directors that it is possible that delays by the campuses in "keying" in the salary information could lead to some of these decreases not taking effect until the second pay period; if this happens, employees will see two deductions on the second paycheck.
