CSU faculty approves contract, averting strike
The unionized faculty at Cal State University’s 23 campuses have overwhelmingly approved a new contract that will boost pay by at least 20.7% over four years, officials said. The contract, affirmed by 97% of the California Faculty Assn., averted a threatened series of two-day walkouts by professors, librarians, coaches and counselors.
The Cal State system’s Board of Trustees is expected to approve the contract at its meeting next week. The pact is retroactive to 2006 and runs into 2010.
“We are happy to ratify this contract and hope that the CSU administration will do the same,” outgoing union President John Travis said in a statement.
