Members of Teamsters Local 2010 working at CSU are conducting a four-day unfair labor practice strike across 22 campuses over the university’s refusal to honor the salary step increases and cost-of-living adjustments agreed upon in their collective bargaining agreement, despite receiving full funding in the 2025 state budget and an increase in funding in 2026. The 1,100 skilled trades maintenance and operations workers serve as electricians, painters, plumbers, facilities maintenance mechanics, carpenters, and building service engineers.

On the picket line, CSU Teamsters are fighting against their employer’s unlawful refusal to honor and pay contractual raises.
