Join Your Union

In the past years, the union has made consistent gains in each successor contract to improve the lives of each and every Academic Student Employee in the CSU System. Here are some of the significant gains we have made in JUST the last contract:

• Pay raises for EVERY academic student employee

• Paid training and pedagogy courses that are required as part of employment 

• Guaranteed pay for ISAs for no-show appointments 

• Guaranteed payment of TAs for all approved hours worked in excess of time-base

• Stronger protection against harassment and bullying on campuses

• Protection for immigrant and international students 

We were able to make these gains because of a large and engaged membership. By becoming a member today, you are helping the union bargain for better wages, benefits and working conditions, as well as enforce the already won rights. By being a member you will be able to have your voice heard and take part in the democratic functioning of the local union, including voicing your opinion on what we should bargain for a vote on a tentatively agreed contract. 

Please click the following link and fill out the form to be a member of the union. New members pay a one-time initiation fee of $10. Every member contributes a fixed-amount of dues every month, pre-tax out of his/her paycheck. Members pay dues only during the time that they are employed in the bargaining unit.
