The California Faculty Association vote results came in on Nov. 4 with 94.4 percent of members voting to authorize a strike for a 5 percent salary increase.

CFA President Jennifer Eagan announced the results of the vote at a news conference at San Jose State earlier today.

“We are ready to act if necessary and for as long as it takes,” Eagan said.

Negotiations between the CFA and the California State University administration are ongoing, entering the “fact finding” phase. A third-party fact finder will gather evidence and statements from each side and then present her report in December.

Kevin Wehr, president of the Sacramento chapter of CFA, said strike activities wouldn’t start until the spring semester.
