Important Update
CSLEA and CalHR Agree to Return to Office Postponement
RTO Now Scheduled for July 1, 2026
Executive Order n-22-25 issued in March 2025, directed all State employees to return to in person work four days per week. The authority of the Governor to issue the directive has not been subject to legal challenge. However, the obligation to satisfy bargaining requirements and the societal benefits of eliminating most remote work was the subject of much debate.
CSLEA Reaches Agreement with CalHR on Side Letter
Agreement Implements Scheduled General Salary Increase with PLP and Suspension of OPEB
On Wednesday, June 18, 2025, the CSLEA Board of Directors voted to authorize the Negotiations Team to enter into a side letter with CalHR to address the cost savings sought by the Administration in the 2-year budget cycle running July 1, 2025, through June 30, 2027.
Legislative Update – June 16, 2025
Budget Deal Update
This week the Legislature, with bipartisan support, passed a $325 billion state budget aimed at addressing a projected $12 billion deficit. Rather than deep program cuts, lawmakers relied heavily on internal borrowing, deferrals, and reserve withdrawals to close the gap. While the agreement rejected the Governor’s proposed salary freeze for state workers, most raises remain deferred and bargaining authority remains with the administration. It’s important to note that this is a two-party agreement between the Senate and Assembly—the Governor has not yet agreed to the deal.
