Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This paper reports on a study that systematically analyzes the hundreds of collective-bargaining agreements for school districts in the state of Michigan. It examines collective bargaining's impact on Michigan's public education and makes recommendations that school boards should incorporate into their union contracts to improve their ability to deliver quality education to students. Part I provides a background to collective bargaining in Michigan: its history, the laws that have shaped and are shaping it, especially Public Act 112 of 1994, and the challenges it presents to school board members, parents, taxpayers, teachers, and students. Recommendations to school boards on what to bargain and what not to bargain are also included. Part II analyzes collective-bargaining agreements, obtained using the Freedom of Information Act, from each of Michigan's 583 school districts, identifies 8 key provisions that commonly hinder the educational process, and makes recommendations on how school boards can best improve their ability to provide the best education. Part II also reviews seven court rulings on collective-bargaining agreement issues and advises school districts on how to avoid contract provisions that might expose them to costly legal and financial penalties resulting from employee lawsuits. Employees' workplace rights are also explained, while demonstrating the school district's role in protecting those rights. Appendixes include Health Care Options for School Districts, Select Data from 583 Michigan K-12 Collective Bargaining Agreements, and Michigan School Financial Data. (Contains 122 references.) (DFR)
Download or read book Labor Relations in Education written by Todd A. DeMitchell and published by R&L Education. This book was released on 2010-01-16 with total page 212 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Collective bargaining in the public schools of the nation has its legal roots in the industrial labor model fashioned in the 1930s out of labor strife between union organizers and private businesses. This industrial union labor model was transplanted almost wholesale into the public sector over fifty years ago when teachers, fire and police personnel were granted the legislative right to collectively bargain their wages, benefits, and terms and conditions of employment in most states. What impact has this industrial model had on public education and on the relationship between teachers and administrators? Labor Relations in Education explores unions and collective bargaining in the public schools of America. The history of the laws, the politics of the response to collective bargaining and unions, and the practices of bargaining and managing a contract are explored in this volume. Changes that may move labor relations into professional relations and away from the industrial labor union model and diminish the schism that exists between educators are discussed. A fully developed simulation is included to employ the practices and concepts discussed in the book.

Download or read book Collective Bargaining in Education written by Jane Hannaway and published by Harvard Education Press. This book was released on 2006-02-01 with total page 318 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This timely and comprehensive volume will spur and strengthen public debate over the role of teachers unions in education reform for years to come. Collective bargaining shapes the way public schools are organized, financed, staffed, and operated. Understanding collective bargaining in education and its impact on the day-to-day life of schools is critical to designing and implementing reforms that will successfully raise student achievement. But when it comes to public discussion of school reform, teachers unions are the proverbial elephant in the room. Despite the tremendous influence of teachers unions, there has not been a significant research-based book examining the role of collective bargaining in education in more than two decades. As a result, there is little basis for a constructive, empirically grounded dialogue about the role of teachers unions in education today.
