As faculty and other public sector unions become more sophisticated in collective bargaining, they tend to lay a greater variety of demands on the table. This, in turn, forces the employer to ask, Do I really have to bargain about these subjects? As more employers refuse to bargain, more unions charge them with failing to bargain in good faith, and the appropriate labor board is faced with another decision on the scope of bargaining. Recently, several states' labor boards have rendered new landmark decisions; to include these decisions, ACBIS decided to update its original scope report. The states involved are California, Connecticut, Hawaii, Kansas, Massachusetts, Michigan, Minnesota, Nevada, New Jersey, New York, Oregon, Pennsylvania, South Dakota, and Wisconsin. Negotiation areas affected include: dispute settlement; hours, calendar, and workload; employee perquisites; institutional direction and resources; personnel policies; technical aspects of the collective bargaining process; union security; wages and salaries; and miscellaneous considerations. The information provided within the study includes legislation enacted and board decisions rendered by December 1, 1976. (Editor/MSE)
