THE INFLUENCE OF LEGAL AND NONLEGAL FACTORS ON THE BARGAINING STATUS OF PUBLIC SCHOOL TEACHERS

Abstract

The authors summarize the legal arguments dealing with collective bargaining for governmental employees to explain the wide variations in bargaining laws among the states. Following this, discriminant analysis is used to determine which nonlegal factors affects a state's propensity for enacting bargaining legislation for teachers. The authors conclude that the degree of urbanization, population density, and governmental union membership influence legislatures positively.
