Abstract

The conclusion that public sector supervisors should be excluded from rights of collective bargaining is disputed. Five factors differentiating public from private sector supervision are noted. The advantages, disadvantages, and incidence of several methods of representation for supervisors, i.e., of exclusion, separation from subordinates, and inclusion with subordinates, are noted. Collective bargaining rights are recommended absent genuine differences in job duties and wage and salary differentials.
