On Thursday and Friday, August 10-11, 2023, CSLEA and CalHR conducted  negotiations.

Thursday was dedicated to CSLEA's passing of counters to a number of working condition proposals which had been previously passed in the hope that the modified language would address concerns which had been raised by the impacted departments.

On Friday, the parties reached conceptual agreement on a modified training proposal for Unit 7 employees of the Department of Consumer Affairs and agreed to a number of rollover proposals which would maintain existing contract language as neither party had suggested any changes.

This week the parties will continue to work on special salary adjustments and other pay differentials and are scheduled to conduct the next bargaining session on Thursday.
