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.

Download or read book Understanding the Teacher Union Contract written by Myron Lieberman and published by Transaction Publishers. This book was released on with total page 244 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Unionization of teachers has led to fundamental changes in the management of education and in relations between teachers and school districts. Understanding the Teacher Union Contract explores the implications of this collective-bargaining revolution in education. Through detailed examination Lieberman shows how the kinds of provisions typically found in teacher union contracts affect the educational workplace and education reform, and how they might be revised to the benefit of students, parents, and the public. Lieberman begins with the respective roles of school district management and teacher unions. Unlike managers in the private sector, school district officials are part of a government agency that is legally responsible for operating public schools in the public interest. They must balance the interests of employees with the needs of students, taxpayers, and parents, as well as with district educational goals. Teacher unions' primary objectives are to enhance employee welfare and to promote the union as an effective organization. Unions must balance the differing needs of various groups within their membership -- for example, by resolving tensions between older teachers who want improved retirement benefits and younger teachers who might prefer more rapid salary increases. Lieberman shows how competing union and management goals play out in collective bargaining and are embodied in teacher union contracts. He argues that by developing an understanding of teacher unions, their role, and their needs, district officials and school board members can bargain more effectively and develop a productive ongoing relationship with unions. This highly readable book will be of interestnot only to school administrators and board members but also to teacher representatives, parents, taxpayers, and members of the media who report on education.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Teachers and Their Unions: Labor Relations in Uncertain Times explores the decade of uncertainty in public education following the Great Recession by first laying a foundation that describes the development of teachers and public education and the rise of teacher unions. The selection of the industrial labor model at the outset of public sector collective bargaining set the table for challenges to its fit with education. The theme of teacher as member of a union and teacher as a professional is explored within the context of a collective bargaining environment. The section “Law and Politics in Uncertain Times: Retrenchment and Assault” explores the decade of uncertainty. It reviews the industrial union model and within the twin challenges of the conundrum of teacher as union member and professional in the struggles of the decade. Tenure (boondoggle or necessary protection), VAM (rank and yank), right-to-work, agency fees, and teacher strikes are explored within the themes of the industrial union model and the tension of union member and professional. The book concludes with thoughts for the future and responds to the question of whether teacher unions are still pertinent.

Book excerpt: Public education in America is in dire need of reform and students are being denied the opportunity for quality education. The method of examining public school reform through the perspective of teachers and their representation in teachers' unions while tracing the formation and rise of the two national teachers' unions determines whether their political mobilization has helped or hindered public school reform. Using case studies in California and Michigan provides the foundation for further research into the effect of teachers' unions in public school reform by presenting two extremes of union power and the loss of legislative control. California has the largest public education system in the United States; the teachers' unions are the largest in the state and are effective at the legislative level. Meanwhile, Michigan's teachers' unions have experienced a significant loss of power in public schools and on the legislative level. Through this examination the cause of the lack of effective change appears to be because of teachers' unions. The unions have hindered public education reform efforts through their need to retain the status quo, which provides their political power and influence in public schools. The collective bargaining process is the foundation of union control, through teacher contracts, and the main reason why teachers join a union. This process must be re-evaluated to give all parties involved in education reform the opportunity to implement changes in schools. In order for effective change to happen in American public schools, teachers' unions must work together with legislators, school boards, administrators, teachers and reformers. Students, parents, and teachers must take an active role in reform efforts or endure the declining state of public education.
