CSU faculty union calls for strike
The California State University faculty union on Wednesday called for a one-day strike at two CSU campuses to protest the administration’s decision to withhold negotiated pay raises. The California Faculty Association said it plans to hold “concerted actions” at the East Bay and Dominguez Hills campuses on Nov. 17. Those actions could include a strike if union members authorize it. The faculty union, which represents professors, lecturers, coaches, counselors and librarians, also plans to conduct informational picketing at all 23 Cal State campuses on Nov. 8 or 9, union leaders said. The faculty association decided to call for the job actions after administrators decided not to pay salary increases negotiated for the 2008-2009 and 2009-2010 academic years.
