Over the Summer, CFA-SJSU leaders were on a mission!

Faculty volunteers made roughly 650 calls to their colleagues. What were they calling about? The CBA! (Also known as the Contract that protects the rights of faculty at the CSU)

CFA has been back at the bargaining table since November 2025. They’ve been fighting for better pay and working conditions for all faculty. Here is a breakdown of key CFA proposals vs management take-backs.

For more information on all the proposals and the bargaining process please see www.cfabargaining.org.

The Chancellor's Office is disingenuous, and they paid millions of dollars to do so by sponsoring a study that does not consider the cost of living.

A tragic event took the life of one of our brothers. RIP.

It is with profound sadness that we share the news of the passing of Billy Gallagher, field representative for the CFA Pomona chapter who passed away yesterday following a tragic accident near CSU Chancellor’s Office on Tuesday, July 21st.

Billy dedicated himself to the work of this union and to the faculty he served at Cal Poly Pomona. We will remember Billy as someone who showed up—whether for faculty grievances, for organizing campaigns, and for countless quiet moments of support for members and for his CFA colleagues. His commitment to faculty rights and to the labor movement left a mark on this organization, and everyone who had the chance to work with him.

Our hearts go out to Billy’s family, friends, and colleagues during this incredibly difficult time. Rest in power Billy 🤍

The Chancellor's Office insist on raises for executives, but heavier workloads, cutbacks on benefits, and lower pay (when accounting for inflation) for faculty and staff.

BARGAINING UPDATE: Management returned to the bargaining table today with a weak salary proposal and a plan to cut health benefits, even after Governor Newsom signed a state budget that includes a $365.7 million (or 7%) increase in new funding for the CSU.

After 16 months of bargaining, we are more than disappointed. We’re just plain insulted.

For these reasons, our CFA Bargaining Team has decided to declare impasse. Join our statewide townhall on Tuesday at 4pm to learn more. Register now: bit.ly/CFABargTownhall26

The federal government has ignored important environmental concerns and federal laws regarding the leased property in Gilroy. That is why today, California Attorney General Rob Bonta and Santa Clara County Counsel Tony LoPresti filed a lawsuit seeking to block the illegal development of the ICE facility. They asked the court to permanently halt construction of this facility, claiming that it violates the National Environmental Policy Act, the Immigration and Nationality Act, the Intergovernmental Cooperation Act, the Administrative Procedure Act, and California’s Williamson Act.
