This statement alone says alot of whats on the faculty's mind. They are being underpaid. Imagine 5,000 Cal State faculties going on strike all across California, the Board of Trustees as well as the state governor will listen to the demands. Don't worry if your professor is absent a week or two, it is for the better good of our state education.
"We have indicated both to the fact finder and to the faculty union that we are willing to use the report as the basis for an overall settlement agreement," said Roberta Achtenberg, chair of the CSU Board of Trustees. "We are hopeful that at the end of this process, we will have a finalized agreement so that we can move forward with getting our faculty their salary increases."
The CSU and its faculty union have been negotiating for the past 22 months in an effort to resolve issues including salary and parking fees for faculty. The current contract has been extended a number of times during this period of negotiation.
"The settlement discussion tracks very closely with the fact finder’s recommendations and shows substantial movement from our offer of November 20, 2006” said CSU Chancellor Charles B. Reed. "We have shown that we are committed to securing a contract with our faculty union."http://www.calstate.edu/PA/News/2007/extended-talk.shtml |
