Student workers across California State University campuses filed with the state to form a union, saying it would help them advocate for better pay and working conditions.
Student workers across California State University campuses filed Monday with the state to form a union, saying it would help them advocate for better pay and working conditions.
The students looking to unionize serve as residential advisers, run mentorship programs, manage student radio stations and perform other jobs across the system's 23 campuses. Many students are paid the minimum wage of $15.50 an hour, and in some cases, they are paid less depending on their level of experience, said Mike Roth, a spokesperson for the Service Employees International Union California.
It follows a successful effort by unionized graduate student workers to reach a deal with the University of California system.
