Faculty at CSU San Francisco to Stage One-Day Strike in Statewide Protest A significant number of faculty members at California State University (CSU) San Francisco are set to participate in a one-day strike on Tuesday, joining a statewide rolling strike taking place across four CSU campuses. Union leaders have stated that many of the 1,500 members of the California Faculty Association (CFA) at SFSU will gather at the intersection of 19th Street and Holloway Avenue, picketing from 7:30 a.m. to 5 p.m. The primary concern voiced by the union leaders is the low pay of non-tenure faculty at CSU, who are among the lowest paid educators in the state. They are advocating for an equity raise to ensure their financial stability. SFSU-CFA President Brad Erickson emphasized the rising expenses faced by faculty members, such as rent, food, and childcare, which have increased by double digits. To keep up with inflation, they are requesting a 12 percent raise. Alongside the faculty members, members of the Teamsters Local 2010, representing 1,100 skilled trades workers at CSU campuses, will also participate in the strike. The union claims that administrators are planning to eliminate up to 300 lecturer positions and potentially cut 600 classes for the Spring 2024 semester. The rolling strike began on Monday at Cal Poly Pomona and will continue to SFSU on Tuesday, followed by CSU Los Angeles on Wednesday and Sacramento State on Thursday. As personal injury bloggers, we recognize the importance of fair compensation for educators and support their efforts to achieve equitable pay. Quality education requires well-supported faculty members who can focus on their roles effectively. We hope that negotiations between the CFA and CSU administrators will lead to a resolution that addresses the concerns raised by faculty members and ensures a supportive environment for both educators and students.
