THIS REVIEW OF NEW DEVELOPMENTS IN THE FIELD OF TEACHER ORGANIZATIONAL ACTIVITY IS DESIGNED TO INFORM SCHOOL DISTRICT LEADERS OF FACTORS AFFECTING RELATIONSHIPS WITH TEACHING STAFFS. RECENT ACTIVITIES OF VARIOUS TEACHERS' ORGANIZATIONS (PARTICULARLY THOSE OF THE NATIONAL EDUCATION ASSOCIATION AND THE AMERICAN FEDERATION OF TEACHERS) ON BEHALF OF SALARIES, FRINGE BENEFITS, AND WORKING CONDITIONS ARE DOCUMENTED. INTER- AND INTRA-ORGANIZATION RIVALRIES FOR RECOGNITION AND BARGAINING STATUS AND THE EFFORTS OF PHI DELTA KAPPA TOWARD A MERGER OF TEACHERS' ORGANIZATIONS ARE POINTED OUT. THE "RITUALISTIC" FOCUS BY TEACHERS' ORGANIZATIONS ON SMALLER CLASSES AND HIGHER SALARIES AND THE RESISTANCE OF TEACHERS TO EDUCATIONAL CHANGES IS MENTIONED. AS A BARGAINING POINT, SCHOOL DISTRICT LEADERS ARE ADVISED TO "DEMAND" TEACHER SUPPORT FOR EDUCATIONAL CHANGES AND NOT TO YIELD ADMINISTRATIVE AND DECISION-MAKING PREROGATIVES.
