Teamsters Local 2010 members representing 1,100 skilled trade employees across the California State University system voted to authorize a statewide strike after CSU declined to implement contractually guaranteed raises and step increases. The union framed the move as a response to alleged unfair labor practices and unpaid salary adjustments; CSU called the vote procedural and reiterated that contingency language tied pay increases to state funding. While no walkout has begun, the authorization raises the prospect of simultaneous labor actions across 22 campuses and could disrupt maintenance, facilities and services if negotiations stall. The vote underscores growing pressure on public university operations amid budget constraints and contentious contract reopeners.
