Skilled workers’ unions in the California State University system spent the summer reminding administrators that they won’t go down without a fight. Teamsters’ unions at Cal State Long Beach and Cal State LA held rallies in August as part of statewide demonstrations during student move-in, convocation and welcome-week events.

The unions continue to demand the system fund contractually promised raises that they say should have been granted in July 2025. Of all CSU employees, only campus presidents and senior executives received raises in 2025, according to CSU Teamsters, which represents 27,000 workers.
