CFA and CSU Bosses Reach Agreement - For Now

Tentative Agreement
April 3, 2007
CFA and CSU reach deal in principle on contract
Two-day rolling walkouts put on hold while deal is finalized

CFA and the CSU administration have reached a tentative contract agreement and the union’s Board of Directors has voted unanimously to postpone rolling walkouts pending finalized contract language.

Tentative agreements have been signed on the issues of salary, workload, grievances, parking and appointments which have been the most contentiously debated topics in this round of bargaining. The accord was reached using the recommendations of neutral fact finder Sylvia Skratek as framework for the deal.

“We have a tentative agreement that will be good for the CSU, good for our students, good for the faculty,” said CFA President John Travis. “Through this agreement faculty will make real progress toward closing the pay gap between us and our colleagues in other states.”

Should an unforeseen breakdown in these latest talks occur, faculty remain prepared to initiate job actions.

The new contract will likely be sent out to the membership for final ratification in late April.

Updates will be made to this page as the contract becomes final.
