January 22nd is our first strike day for CSU faculty across the state, and this will be the last post/correspondence to your edu email accounts until the end of the strike. Let’s not forget our student-centered demands: fair salary increases and equitable living wages for all faculty, reasonable workload, parental leave and safe campuses for everyone. We strike for better working conditions, for our families, for our students, for each other, for our future, and for a better California.
Some helpful reminders as we start the week:

You are already part of history, and J22-26 will go down in labor history as the largest faculty strike in history at the largest public institution for higher education in the country! See you on the strike lines!
