The California Faculty Association is organizing a strike, called "Fight for 5", to demand a 5% salary increase for all faculty members for the 2015-2016 academic year and a service salary increase for eligible faculty. The strike will take place April 13-15 and 18-19, with Saturday and Sunday classes still meeting. Students are invited to join faculty on the picket lines to witness collective action for justice and support faculty who are protecting education. Both students and faculty are struggling with issues like debt, high fees, and fewer available faculty, showing they are "in the same boat".
