Collective Negotiations. What Every School Board Member Should Know Series.
Metzler, John H.
The intent of this volume is to inform boards of education about the collective negotiations process so that the board can proceed to improve board-staff relations as well as achieve its goals at the bargaining table. Although much of the information in this book applies to all public employee collective bargaining, the author chooses to focus on teachers' unions and their interaction with the negotiating team of the school board. Metzler describes the bargaining process, focusing on negotiating teams, bargaining techniques, communication during bargaining, and negotiability. The book also includes chapters on grievance procedures, mediation, strikes, arbitration, and fact-finding. A specific analysis of New Jersey labor legislation governing public employee bargaining is appended, along with the text of the New Jersey Employer-Employee Relations Act and relevant court cases. A glossary of collective bargaining terms is also included. (DS)
