The California Faculty Association announced via Instagram on Feb.19, that over 76% of its membership voted to ratify the tentative agreement presented by California State University’s management.
After CFA’s Board of Directors ended the strike on Monday, Jan. 22, they moved the proposal for membership to review and vote upon ratification.
The tentative agreement will now be sent to the CSU Board of Trustees to approve during their March meeting that is set to take place between March 24-27. CFA is urging the Board to call upon a special meeting to enact the contract terms.

With anti-LGBTQ+ legislation on the rise, the Sacramento State community voices concern for the future of their rights and safety in an election year.
Current nationwide anti-LGBTQ+ laws plan to prevent minors from receiving gender affirming care, but indistinct language may restrict hormone replacement therapy, a treatment for hormone disorders and other medical conditions.
“I hope that in the 2024 election cycle, the LGBTQ+ community remains strong, remains vigilant and remains united in its defense of itself and its allies,” Annika Olsen said. “Both in the state of California and across the nation.”

The California Faculty Association’s week-long strike ended short on Jan. 22, after being handed a tentative agreement less than 24 hours on the first day of striking.
The California State University and CFA reached an agreement in late January, which provides small pay raises, an increase in parental leave and an extended paid bereavement, but fails to satisfy the original CFA demands.
The faculty vote to authorize the tentative agreement ended on Feb.18 and over 76% of CFA members voted to ratify the tentative agreement.

The film follows a neighborhood court full of eccentric characters who pride themselves on their short green grass, bright white picket fence and their superb gardening, but questions soon arise when the Klopek family moves in and takes more pride in their secrets, than their home.
