“Today we’re trying to advocate and promote our issues.”Ī spokesperson with the CSU Office of the Chancellor said officials are working on resolving these issues with the unions, including CSUEU, during negotiations. “I love working with our students, that’s why I still stay here, so that’s why they need to do better,” Garrido-Ortega said. Her husband, who started working at a high school a year ago, was already making more money than she does, despite her 18-year tenure at CSULB, Garrido-Ortega said. It’s important, Garrido-Ortega said, that the CSU makes changes in the gender and racial inequalities of pay. “Together in solidarity is much stronger than being individual.” “The issues that the CSUEU are fighting for are similar to the faculty issues, so we always want to be in solidarity with each other,” Garrido-Ortega said. “The CSU instead of offering that and bargaining, came back with a pitiful proposal for what they call salary steps but it’s not.”Ĭlaire Garrido-Ortega, a full-time lecturer in the department of health science and co-president of CFA Long Beach, joined Monday’s rally in solidarity. “The conclusions were that we are underpaid, we have significant pay disparity across gender and racial demographics and in order to correct all of that they recommended a step system,” Moran said. In 2022, Mercer – an international consulting firm with deep expertise in employment services - conducted a study of the CSU compensation system that found employees were underpaid.
