Inside Higher Ed: TA Strike Called Off at Cal State
The union that represents 6,800 teaching assistants at the California State University System late Tuesday called off plans to strike today, agreeing instead to a mediation offer from Darrell Steinberg, president of state’s Senate. Just hours earlier, the union — a United Auto Workers unit — had pledged that a strike would start today, accusing the university system of not bargaining in good faith. The university says that a strike would have been illegal and that the union’s demands are too expensive during a state budget crisis.
