"California State University Faculty Reach Agreement to End Strike"

California State University faculty members reached a tentative contract agreement with the university system, ending their week-long strike for higher wages. The deal includes a 5% raise retroactive to last year and another 5% raise in July, as well as increased minimum wage for the lowest-paid faculty. The strike, involving nearly 30,000 workers, came after failed negotiations for a 12% pay raise. The agreement averts potential class cancellations and reflects a trend of labor activism in California and across the country.
