CSU faculty to strike in January
Faculty Union Announces Strike for Higher Wages and Improved Conditions
The faculty union for the California State University system has made an exciting announcement – they are planning to go on strike next month. Their demands include higher wages, more mental health counselors at schools, and paid parental leave.
The California Faculty Association (CFA) recently voted to authorize a strike that will have a significant impact. From January 22 to January 26, the entire state university system will be shut down. This follows a previous targeted strike in San Francisco, Los Angeles, Pomona, and Sacramento.
“Our members refuse to give in to what they know is beneath their worth,” said Charles Toombs, the president of the CFA. “Unlike management, we are unwilling to be complicit in the harming of our colleagues, students, and staff. Our commitment to one another is unshakeable.”
The union is not only bargaining for increased salaries but also advocating for equity, access, belonging, and the honoring of all student, faculty, and staff identities. They aim to uplift and embrace all lived experiences while addressing long-standing racial, gender, and social inequities.
The strike will also involve the Teamsters union, which represents staff employees in the university system.
“The strikes are dependent on whether our CFA Bargaining Team’s upcoming meetings with CSU management on January 8, 9, 11, and 12 will bear fruit,” stated the union in a press release. “They can, at any time, prevent a strike by offering us a fair contract. If they do not, then we will escalate our job actions to create a more promising future for all of us.”
