Only CFA members in good standing can participate in the Strike Authorization Vote. If you are a lecturer faculty, tenure-track faculty, librarian, counselor, or coach and aren’t yet a CFA member, joining our faculty union before the voting period ends next week is critical to building our power and winning the best possible contract.  

Becoming a member not only enables you to vote to authorize a strike, but your membership applies pressure on Chancellor Mildred García to meet our demands for a fair contract. The stronger our membership, the stronger our power at the bargaining table and beyond.  

Management has less reason to move on our contract demands when faculty sit out. Low membership lets them underestimate us. Don’t hand management that advantage. 

If you believe García and CSU management have treated you beneath your worth and you’re ready to fight back, now is the time to make it known by becoming a member today.   

Activating your membership not only allows you to vote on whether to authorize a strike, but it will give you the ability to vote on whether to ratify a future tentative agreement for our next collective bargaining agreement.  

Beyond our current contract fight, every CFA member strengthens our union. Participation is at the core of CFA. Members shape our union through involvement in CFA chapters, councils, caucuses, and committees.  

Together, we work to protect faculty rights, safe workplaces, student learning, fair pay, health insurance and pensions, job security, and racial and social justice. 

Wining a strong contract takes more than hoping management will do the right thing. It requires colleagues organizing together and taking active roles in our union. 

Please take a moment to become a member today and deepen our resolve for a fair contract. Generally, activating your membership during the workday will allow you to vote on whether to authorize a strike the day after. 

Because voting ends at 5 p.m. on Thursday, November 19, you must activate your membership no later than 11:59 p.m. on Wednesday, November 18 to be eligible to vote on the strike authorization.
