CFA declared impasse on Friday, July 10th. Reaching impasse means that, after good-faith negotiations by both CFA and CSU management, CSU has failed to grasp how to retain faculty in order to move the future of education forward. The next stage in our statutory process is mediation with a state-appointed third party. If, during this stage, we still cannot reach an agreement, then we move on to factfinding. If still no settlement is reached here, then we can move to job actions—including the possibility of a strike.

CFA filed a PERB charge on April 16 for Chancellor Garcia reaching out to our members and other represented employees about her belief that 2025 raises should be in the form of a one-time 3% bonus.

In a dispute over ground rules, CFA and CSU management both filed charges with the Public Employees Relations Board (PERB), and both charges received a complaint. Settlement talks are on-going.

CFA and CSU management have agreed to extend the contract while negotiations are on-going.
