Description for Teacher Unions in Public Education: Politics, History, and the Future
Hardcover. Focusing on teacher unions in Canada, the United States, and England, Bascia reveals the dynamic nature of teacher unions engaging in a variety of activities and pursuing multiple strategies. Editor(s): Bascia, Nina. Num Pages: 220 pages, biography. BIC Classification: JNF; JNKH; KNXB2. Category: (P) Professional & Vocational. Dimension: 216 x 140 x 18. Weight in Grams: 420.
While much mainstream educational research maintains that teacher unions should be outlawed or their powers greatly reduced, Bascia and her contributors, including many of the leading teacher union researchers working today, challenge this position. Instead, they recognize the important role teacher unions must play in defending public education and in minimizing the damage wrought by ill-thought-out educational policies. By avoiding idealization of these organizations and recognizing their limitations, Teacher Unions in Public Education demonstrates the necessity for union renewal for a successful education system.
