Fact-finding Panel Releases Findings in CFA Labor Dispute




The data collected by the third-party fact-finding mediator between the California Faculty Association and the California State University was released earlier today.

According to a press release from the CFA, neutral fact-finder Sylvia Skratek's findings were consistent with the CFA's claims that the CSU system's pay scale of its faculty is indeed lagging behind other systems of higher education. Skratek recommends that faculty should receive a 24.87 percent salary increase over a maximum of four years.

The union has already taken measures to organize rolling strikes at all 23 campuses. Chancellor Reed is expected to respond to the fact-finder's report next week.

The report may be viewed by logging on to the CFA's website. CSULB's representative to the CFA is English professor Elizabeth Hoffman. President F. King Alexander declined to comment on the situation.
