🚨🚨STRIKE ALERT: Time for The CSU management to invest in their faculty and students. Time for manageable workloads, fair pay, more mental health counselors, expanded parental leave, and safe campuses. #CFAFacultyRising #DoBetterCSU

Today, 29,000 Cal State professors, lecturers, coaches, librarians, and counselors walked out on strike. For years these workers have been denied job stability and fair pay – I stand in solidarity with California Faculty Association’s demands for a fair contract now!

.California Faculty Association is on STRIKE everyday this week at all 23 campuses! 🪧Picket lines starting everyday at 8:00AM! Our educators working conditions are our students learning conditions! #DoBetterCSU #CFAonStrike
