Earlier this week, Gov. Newsom signed the bill that made our agreement with the State a law — and a contract! After four-plus months of bargaining, and with the support of thousands of our represented employees taking action, we have a deal, but … what’s the deal?

The highlights of what we won include a 10% general salary increase, more than 300 special wage and salary adjustments, reductions in our pre-retirement funding, plus a health care stipend.
