CSU system faculty strike?

The CCCFE Faculty Union managed to get raises above the 5% range.  The CSU Faculty are demanding a 5% raise, and the system is offering only 2%.  This has created much discord in the CSU system.  




California State University faculty are legally allowed to strike next month if a contract agreement is not reached with the university system.
Such is the outcome following the release Monday of a fact-finding report that marked the last step in the statutory collective bargaining process between CSU leaders and the California Faculty Association, which represents more than 26,000 faculty, lecturers, librarians, counselors and coaches at 23 campuses in the state, including San Francisco State University.
The possible strike comes after more than a year of unsuccessful contract negotiations in which the union is pushing for a 5 percent salary increase, while Chancellor Timothy White and CSU management have countered with a 2 percent increase, according to education officials.
The faculty union’s board of directors had previously authorized the union to strike from April 13-15 and April 18-19, marking the largest strike for CSU faculty since the university system was created in 1960.
