"California State University Strike Resolved in Surprise Agreement After One Day"

The California State University faculty union reached a tentative agreement with the university system, ending a planned five-day strike after one day. The agreement includes higher salary floors for the lowest-paid workers, safer workplaces, and an expansion of parental leave. Faculty are expected to resume teaching, and the agreement must be ratified by union members. The strike, which culminated months of tension, was the latest in a series of walkouts in higher education and TK-12 school districts in California. Students experienced confusion as classes were canceled, temporarily moved online, or held as scheduled.
