Section 9.39 of our contract provides that the president of the university may grant permanent status to a temporary employee who has served in bargaining unit classifications for at least three consecutive years. CSU has not been forthcoming with information about how it has implemented these contracted changes. Apparently, the CSU is having trouble interpreting the above conditions and many employees throughout the CSU who should have been granted permanent status have been left at temporary status. The administration is able to control and manipulate temporary employees because temps can be dismissed with as little as two-weeks notice and no explanation if they haven t reached four years of temporary service. Remember the Fresno campus.
Temporary employees are often reluctant to exercise their rights for fear of reprisal.
If you have been in a temporary position for four years without a break in service and meet all the above conditions, please contact your Human Resource Department, cite the contract as noted above and ask for a written response regarding your employment status.
