Faculty members picketed at Cal State San Bernardino, Cal Poly Pomona and 21 other universities in the Cal State University system Tuesday and Wednesday.

On November 7th, the CFA Board of Directors and the CFA Chapter Presidents reviewed the membership vote on concerted actions and finalized decisions for this month.

CFA Board members and Chapter Presidents were informed that the majority of members had voted. The vote was 93% in support of a call by the CFA Board of Directors for a one‐day strike on one or more campuses.

After considering the voting results and other factors, the CFA Board of Directors voted to authorize a one-day strike on two campuses, CSU East Bay and CSU Dominguez Hills, on November 17.

CFA deserves raises

All workers should be protected under unions. Unions that support the interest of workers are essential because they fight for the worker’s rights to fair wages, benefits, retirement, and against disparity of treatment.

A current issue involves the California Faculty Association which has a contract with the CSU system. This contract was in effect from July 1, 2007 until July 30, 2010.

During the live E-Summit on contract bargaining talks on September 28th, CFA announced the union is taking the historic step of asking members to authorize a one-day strike following the Chancellor’s refusal to pay previously negotiated raises.
