Faculty at the California State University are gearing up to strike at four campuses this week, the latest move in a months-long fight for higher pay at the nation’s largest public university system. While the California Faculty Association (CFA) — the union representing 29,000 faculty at the 23-campus institution — has called for a 12% salary increase this year, officials at California State have offered faculty a 15% increase over three years, instead, for an annual raise of 5% each year. That agreement, union leaders say, limits faculty members’ ability to negotiate until 2026-2027. “This w......

The record deal that would last through April 2028 would secure double-digit wage increases, hike starting pay, reintroduce cost-of-living adjustments, shorten the timeline to the top wage, and boost retirement contributions. The union's Ford council is expected to vote on the agreement on Sunday to send to the roughly 56,000 members employed by the Blue Oval for ratificatio......

KANSAS CITY, Mo. — The Equal Employment Opportunity Commission has accused Chipotle of religious harassment and retaliation after a manager at a Johnson County restaurant grabbed and partly removed a Muslim employee’s hijab when she refused his demands to see her hair. The EEOC filed the lawsuit Thursday in U.S. District Court in Kansas City, Kansas, on behalf of Areej Saifan, who worked at the Chipotle Mexican Grill.
