How do public employees win and lose their collective bargaining
rights? And how can public sector labor unions protect those
rights? These are the questions answered in From Collective
Bargaining to Collective Begging. Dominic Wells takes a
mixed-methods approach and uses more than five decades of
state-level data to analyze the expansion and restriction of
rights. Â Wells identifies the factors that led states to
expand collective bargaining rights to public employees, and the
conditions under which public employee labor unions can defend
against unfavorable state legislation. He presents case studies and
coalition strategies from Ohio and Wisconsin to demonstrate how
labor unions failed to protect their rights in one state and
succeeded in another. From Collective Bargaining to
Collective Begging also provides a comprehensive quantitative
analysis of the economic, political, and cultural factors that both
led states to adopt policies that reduced the obstacles to
unionization and also led other states to adopt policies that
increased the difficulty to form and maintain a labor union. In his
conclusion, Wells suggests the path forward for public sector labor
unions and what policies need to be implemented to improve employee
labor relations.
