A California State University faculty union plans to go on a five-day strike from Jan. 22 to Jan. 26 — the same week most campuses return from winter break — unless its members reach a deal with the system by then. Negotiations between the California Faculty Association — which represents around 29,000 university employees, including lecturers, librarians and counselors — and Cal State have been stalled for months over issues like pay and parental leave. Cal State and CFA plan to return to the bargaining table for four days during the second week in January. If they don’t come to agreement, union members will strike at all 23 of the system’s campuses, CFA said Wednesday.
