The California Faculty Association and California State University system reached a tentative agreement Monday night that ended a strike that could have affected CSU San Marcos and campuses across the state for a week.
California Faculty Association leadership has called for a systemwide California State University strike from Jan. 22 to Jan. 26, which would affect the start of classes for campuses such as CSU San Marcos.
The California Faculty Association, which represents instructors at state university campuses including CSU San Marcos and San Diego State, announced on Oct. 30 that a majority of its voting membership had approved the authorization of a strike.
The San Diego County Library system, including its Encinitas branch and the Carlsbad city libraries, are out of free COVID-19 rapid test kits just days after they were distributed through a county program.
Several Encinitas city employees are on unpaid administrative leave for 30 days because they have not been vaccinated for COVID-19, the city announced Oct. 7, contrary to social media claims that the employees had been fired.
The city of Encinitas and a union representing employees recently reached an agreement for mandatory COVID-19 vaccinations and testing amid the recent increase in Delta variant virus infections.
