Term Papers Must Be Turned In On Time - CI Special CSU Strike Edition
 |
| It looks as though the CSU strike has been avoided and term papers will need to be turned in on time. The following emails were sent out by the CFA and the Chancellor's office. If you're busy and don't have time to read them here is my summary. CFA- The "report" supports us you dirty stinking capitalist administrators! Negotiate or suffer a thousand deaths. Oh, if we negotiate we need to finish up before the summer break. Thanks. Chancellor- How 'bout we negotiate. If you don't believe me feel free to read the actual emails. |

Subject: CSU Chancellor's Office news release on CFA contract negotiations
Below is a news release from the CSU Chancellor's Office regarding contract negotiations with the California Faculty Association:
Contacts: Claudia Keith, ckeith@calstate.edu Clara Potes-Fellow, cpotes-fellow@calstate.edu, (562) 951-4800 CSU and Faculty Union Agree to Extend Current Contract Until Settlement Agreement Finalized Settlement Reflects Fact Finder’s Recommendations (March 25, 2007) – The California State University (CSU) Board of Trustees announced today that the current contract with its faculty union will be extended until April 6, 2007 while a settlement framework is being finalized. During this time, no concerted strike activities will occur on any CSU campus. The CSU has attempted to reach a settlement that uses the fact finder’s report as a framework, and will continue to work with the faculty union bargaining team to finalize the details. The specific details of the settlement efforts will not be made public until it is accepted and finalized. “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.” |
