Contra Costa Times: Report reduces chance of potential CSU strike

A systemwide faculty strike at California State University’s 23 campuses appears less likely after a Sunday announcement by CSU administrators and faculty leaders that they would restart settlement talks this week.

Both sides vowed to work toward an agreement in the 22-month-old dispute after an independent fact-finder’s report released Sunday suggested a strike could be averted. The report also recommended pay increases similar to those being sought by the faculty.
