Abstract

Although collective bargaining in the public sector is a rather recent phenomenon, its development in higher education has been rather dramatic. The pattern of collective bargaining in higher education has developed in geographic sections of the country similar to the development in the private industrial sector and has developed most fully in community colleges. The majority of colleges and universities do not have collective bargaining and these exist primarily in the South and West where most "right-to-work" states are located. The attitudes that exist in these regions are fundamental to the future of formalized employer/employee relationships. This study was conducted to analyze these attitudes in community colleges as the basis for recommendations to facilitate the most positive environment educational institutions.
