California State University faculty to strike for better pay

California Faculty Association, at largest public university system in US, fighting for better pay and benefits for about 29,000 workers

Faculty at California State University, the largest public university system in the US, will hold a series of four one-day strikes starting Monday across four campuses to demand higher pay and more parental leave for thousands of professors, librarians, coaches and other workers.

The strikes at California State Polytechnic University, Pomona; San Francisco State University; California State University, Los Angeles; and California State University, Sacramento are the latest push by the California Faculty Association to fight for better pay and benefits for the roughly 29,000 workers the union represents.
