Members of Teamsters Local 2010, representing roughly 1,100 skilled trade workers across the California State University system, voted to authorize a statewide strike after disputes over withheld contractually promised raises and step increases. The union said it will strike if CSU continues to refuse pay adjustments and the parties fail to resolve unfair‑labor complaints. - CSU officials called the vote procedural and urged bargaining over strike preparations, pointing to contingency language tying salary increases to additional state funding. The authorization raises the prospect of operational disruptions at all 22 campuses if talks collapse. - University administrators and trustees are under pressure to weigh budget constraints, maintenance backlogs and student service continuity while negotiating with union leaders ahead of the spring semester.
