Download or read book Labor Relations in the Public Sector Fourth Edition written by Richard C. Kearney and published by CRC Press. This book was released on 2011-03-23 with total page 406 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: That we are participants in a global economy may no longer be news, but its impact continues to shape the field of labor relations. This is certainly true in the public sector where union membership is stagnant and outsourcing is becoming more and more prevalent. Further impacting current trends are local and state movements to restructure public organizations and the processes they use to conduct their activities and provide services. These include the mechanisms of collective bargaining and contract administration. Reflecting these and many other trends and changes, this fourth edition of the perennially bestselling Labor Relations in the Public Sector is now completely updated. The fundamental reader-friendly organization of the book remains the same, and it continues to address the many facets that must be considered today, as unions still represent 40 percent of public sector workers. However in keeping up with the formative events of recent times, this text— Accounts for emerging trends in scholarly and professional literature as well as in practice Features several new case studies that provide readers with experiential learning opportunities across a range of contemporary situations Places greater emphasis on ways to develop and use interest-based ("win–win") negotiations during bargaining processes and throughout the administration of contracts This volume recognizes the key role played by unions in the federal government and in a large proportion of state and local jurisdictions, but it also recognizes that much is changing. Fiscal realities and strategic challenges are changing the role of the labor union in the public sector. This is a trend that must be understood if its consequences are to be anticipated and met for the mutual good.

This book was released on 2015-02-12 with total page 285 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Unlike Europe, where most public sector workers have long been included in collective bargaining agreements, the United States excluded public employees from such legislation until the 1960s and 70s. Since then, union membership in the U. S. has grown more rapidly among public workers than among workers in the private sector. This book provides up-to-date information on public sector collective bargaining in the United States today. The editors' seek to understand the real nature of PSB by examining eight states where the action is taking place -- California, Hawaii, Illinois, Michigan, New Jersey, New York, Pennsylvania, and Wisconsin. The chapters offer unique case studies of legal origins, developments, and challenges to collective bargaining; negotiations experience and outcomes; discussion of legislation; and emphasis of histoical development as well as current practice.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Using the American Community Survey, the first chapter (with Eric Brunner) provides new evidence on how state collective bargaining laws affect public-sector wages. To isolate the causal effect of bargaining laws on public-sector pay, we estimate difference-in-differences models that exploit two sources of plausibly exogenous variation: 1) policy discontinuities along state borders and 2) variation within states in collective bargaining laws in states where the majority of public workers are without collective bargaining rights. Findings show that mandatory collective bargaining laws increase public-sector wages by approximately 5 to 8 percentage points. Results, therefore, suggest that mandatory collective bargaining laws provide a formal mechanism through which public-sector workers are able to bargain for increased compensation. The second chapter examines how state collective bargaining laws affect the distribution of teacher earnings. Using relatively new unconditional quantile regression technique and two nationally representative survey datasets, I show that the OLS estimates found in earlier studies mask substantial heterogeneity in the effects of collective bargaining rights across the wage distribution. My results suggest that collective bargaining rights generally decompress wage distribution among teachers. Analysis using conditional quantile regression, however, suggests that within each pay cell, duty-to-bargain rights lead to level effects on wages. In the third chapter, I examine whether teachers' unions are associated with misallocation of school district resources by analyzing the effect of teachers' unions on district financial outcomes and student achievement during the Great Recession. Employing a diff-in-diff-in-diff identification strategy, I find that school districts with strong teachers' unions experienced significantly larger declines in per-pupil expenditures during the economic downtown compared to otherwise similar districts with weak teachers' unions. I also find that strong unions protected teacher salaries and the employment of high-paid senior teachers at the cost of laying off younger teachers, which significantly raised average class size. The larger decline in expenditures in strong union districts, however, did not lead to an additional negative effect on students' academic performance compared to weak union districts. The results support the notion that strong teachers' unions may possibly lead to inefficiencies in the level of school spending and the allocation of school inputs.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This paper argues that public sector labor relations is best understood in a framework that focuses on unions' ability to shift demand curves rather than to raise wages, as is the case in the private sector. It reviews the public sector labor relations literature and finds that: (i) public sector unionism has flourished as a result of changes in laws; (2) the effects of public sector unions on wages are likely to have been underestimated; (3) public sector unions have a somewhat different effect on wage structures than do private sector unions; (4) compulsory arbitration reduces strikes with no clearcut impact on the level of wage settlements; (5) public sector unions have diverse effects on non-wage outcomes as do private sector unions. In terms of evaluating public sector unionism, the paper argues that by raising both the cost of public services (taxes) and the amount of services public sector unionism involves a different welfare calculus than private sector unionism.
