Dear Faculty,
We are aware that CFA intends to strike on four campuses between December 4th and 7th. Our campus will remain open and student instruction and other student services will continue. While you have the right to withhold work and strike, you are not obligated to strike. Unions are legally prohibited from threatening or coercing members from coming to work. If you come to work or work remotely, depending on course modality, you will receive the same compensation and benefits you normally receive.
If you don’t come to work or work remotely in accordance with your designated course modality, you will not be paid. You are not entitled to use your sick leave or other accruals to be paid for your absence if you are withholding work. Benefits that are affected by the percentage of time worked during the month other than medical may be affected. If you withhold work, you must advise the appropriate administrator that you were absent or use the dock code in PeopleSoft at the conclusion of the strike.
We understand that this is a difficult time for CSU faculty and employees, and we honor any decision you make regarding participation or non-participation in the CFA strike. If you have any questions or concerns, please contact me at souza@csus.edu. You can learn more about campus operations during the strike here.
Sincerely,
Tasha Souza
Vice Provost for Faculty Success
