CSU faculty backs strike systemwide

Contra Costa Times: 23-campus walkout in April and May over salary increases would be largest in history of U.S. higher education

California State University professors announced Wednesday that they will strike on all 23 Cal State campuses if they don’t reach a contract agreement with administrators this month.

Union leaders said 94 percent of voting members approved the strike, which they said would be the largest higher-education walkout in U.S. history. About 11,000 of the 23-campus system’s 24,000 faculty members belong to the union, and about 8,100 voted this month.
