Overview
- Roughly 1,100 skilled trade employees represented by Teamsters Local 2010 voted to authorize a strike across all 22 CSU campuses.
- Union leaders report about 94% support for the authorization, which empowers them to call a walkout if talks fail.
- The dispute centers on five percent raises and salary step increases the union says were promised but not implemented in July.
- CSU cites contract language tying certain raises to new, unallocated, ongoing state funding and says those conditions were not met.
- No strike date has been set as the union pursues unfair labor practice complaints and both sides continue reopener negotiations, with CSU calling the vote procedural and not an imminent stoppage.
