Faculty Votes to Strike at State Center | Fresno News

Faculty at State Center Community College District have voted to authorize a strike — the first time in the union’s 60-year history — after nine months of stalled contract talks. The union accuses the district of failing to invest in teaching and student support, calling out leadership for mismatched words and actions. A no-confidence vote against the chancellor last November led to her announcing retirement, though she insisted it wasn’t tied to the vote. The district says they’re prepared to bargain in good faith, but faculty are ready to walk out if progress doesn’t happen — with the next mediation session looming as a critical turning point.
