Maintenance workers at California State University campuses are on strike, according to a media release from Teamsters Local 2010, which represents more than 1,100 workers across the state.
The union says the workers are striking to demand regular step increases, which they claim they won in a 2023 strike but have not yet received.
Teamsters 2010 represents plumbers, electricians, HVAC techs, locksmiths and other building maintenance staff at all 22 campuses.
“Up to now, CSU has illegally failed to fulfill its contractual obligations,” according to a statement from the union. “As 1,100 CSU skilled trades Teamster workers mobilize across the state, CSU will face the expensive and disruptive consequences of not paying its workers fairly.”
