The members of the California Faculty Association picketed in front of Sacramento State to bring attention to their lack of pay.

Those who were hired during the recession in 2008 are suffering the inflation in the economy and are getting salary inversion.

According to the newsletter from CFA, Margarita Berta-Avila said their salaries have not changed in 10 years.

At the picketing, multiple faculty members were holding signs that read “2 won’t do, 5 percent is fair.”

CFA bargaining team member Lois Boulgarides said most members who are suffering are also having difficulties being able to afford an apartment by themselves.

“2 won’t do, that’s our slogan,” Boulgarides said.

Boulgarides said this is just an informational picket demonstrating how faculty and staff are struggling with finances to make it aware to the California State University chancellor.

In October, faculty from all 23 CSU campuses will be going to Long Beach, where the CSU office is located, to present to the chancellor.

Boulgarides said although they have started the picketing, nothing will happen to their jobs because any type of retribution is illegal.

According to the research series done by the CFA called “The Race to the Bottom,” Sacramento State has suffered almost a $10,000 difference in the faculty average salary from 2004 to 2013.

This will be the first of many demonstrations that will happen throughout the year, said Boulgarides.
