ON STRIKE: SHUT IT DOWN … OR NOT

By Bob Walsh

Various media outlets are announcing today (04-07) that the unionized faculty of the California State University system and the administration have reached a tentative contract agreement, thereby holding off a five-day strike.

The media stories are not giving details of the tentative agreement, which will have to be ratified by the faculty in about six weeks. The state was offering 2%, the union was demanding 5%. An independent fact-finder recently issued a statement asserting that that 5% raise was reasonable. The university is not disputing that, they are however claiming that they don’t have the money to kick down 5%.

I am confident the details of the TA will leak out in the next day or two.

EDITOR’S NOTE: I wouldn’t give them a one percent raise. The University of California system and the State University system, with their wasteful African-American Studies and Gender Studies programs, are both full of Marxist professors whose students make up a substantial part of Black Lives Matter rabble. Shutting down both systems would be a blow to the anti-American indoctrination of students.

Info today (0408) says the TA is for 10.5 % across the next two years. Definitely not too shabby.
