TL;DR

California State University faculty members reached a tentative contract agreement, ending their planned weeklong strike for higher wages. The deal includes a 5% raise retroactive to last year and another 5% raise on July 1, as well as an increase in the minimum wage for the lowest-paid faculty. The strike, involving nearly 30,000 professors, librarians, and other workers, came after contract negotiations ended with a unilateral offer far below the 12% pay raise sought by the union. The agreement was praised by both the faculty association and CSU Chancellor Mildred García, and students also showed their support for the striking faculty.
