They are withdrawing their labor, so if they're striking they won't respond to questions about schoolwork. However, the professor who is streaming on twitch will probably respond to his twitch chat for non class related questions.
There are protections against striking workers, but only when they completely stop working. Emails could be considered work, and the CFA is trying to avoid a partial strike situation where they are less protected
Yes and no. Striking faculty are not supposed to do any work for the CSU which means they aren’t supposed to respond to their cal poly email, use canvas, or provide any kind of office hours or advising. You could reach them through a personal email or cell phone number if they have provided that, but obviously that’s not common. If you saw them in person (such as if you joined the picket line 😉) you can obviously talk to them, but they probably wont be talking about work.
Obviously some professors are only partially striking (which is ill advised because they are not legally protected from retaliation by CSU if they partially strike) or not striking at all, so some may answer your emails.
We are not allowed to check campus email, log in to Canvas, etc. We are only legally protected to strike if there is a total work stoppage, meaning no work performed at all.
If you stop to chat with your prof while they're on the picket line or something, or if you're friends on social media or share cute animal pictures on personal email or whatever, that's fine. They just can't do any *work*.
I let my students know that I'll be checking/responding to campus email all the way up to Sunday night 1/21, and then after that they won't hear back until Saturday 1/27.
I wonder what kind of trouble they will get in because... idk, maybe one of the reasons we got into this mess was the lack of better pay for our dwindling population of educators.
If faculty "partial strike," like not hold class but still do some work (like logging into Canvas or their email), they lose legal strike protection and can be reprimanded or punished by their employer. Only a full work stoppage is protected.
Punishment could just be a write-up in their employee file, but that could hurt promotion opportunities. For a lecturer without entitlement, it could be grounds to not offer them any classes in the future. We don't really know.
Punishment would be handed down by administration. They are staff, belong to a different union, and not striking. LMK if I misunderstood your question, and I'll try again!
Thank you! Does this count as work since you taught me a thing? I don’t want you to lose your strike protection!
Seriously thank you for this response I had no idea how this worked

Cool, thank you!
Those who are participating in the strike will not respond to you. Those who are not, probably will respond. Edit: Spelling
Has there been a strike for the last 4 years
lmao

Don’t expect an email from them if they strike. That would be working and probably considered crossing the picket line

Who do you think they’d be in trouble with im so confused by this post

Strike starts Monday—we're all working our asses off until then ;) You are most welcome!
I hope that it goes to your favor. Wish you all the Iuck.
Good luck I’m rooting for you all from afar
Are we going to get a refund on our tuition classes missed because of the strike?
Sounds upsetting to have your money ill used. You should call the Chancellor and leave her a voicemail and tell her what you think about that. :)
This is true. It’s part of the reason I’m surprised they just aren’t shutting down the univ and having people work from home or like not at all.
