Teachers' unions are the organizations responsible for safeguarding
the conditions of teachers' employment. Union supporters claim
strong synergies between teachers' interests and students'
interests, but critics of unions insist that the stance of teachers
in collective bargaining may disadvantage students as unions reduce
the power of administrators to manage, remove, reward or retain
excellent teachers. In A Collective Pursuit, Lesley Laveryunpacks
how teachers' unions today are fighting for contracts that allow
them to earn a decent living and build "schools all students
deserve." She explains the form and function of the nation's
largest teachers' unions. Lavery then explores unionization
campaigns in the Twin Cities charter schools. A Collective Pursuit
also examines teacher strikes and contract negotiations, school
finance and finance reform, and district and union attempts to
address racial achievement gaps, to provide a context for
understanding the economic, political, and demographic forces that
inspire teachers to improve conditions for students. A Collective
Pursuit emphasizes that while teachers' unions serve a traditional,
economic role, they also provide a vast array of valuable services
to students, educators, parents, and community members.
