Abstract

The author examines the extent to which Pennsylvania's Public school teachers have, through collective bargaining, achieved some managerial control over the state's public schools. An analysis of a sample of contracts from various state school districts shows a considerable erosion of management's control of the schools, but recent fiscal problems and a surplus of teachers may make the teachers' victories short-lived or at least difficult to extend. Contracts negotiated since the main research was completed indicate increasing management resistance to further union encroachments.
