Higher education collective bargaining cases reviewed in this chapter follow the basic sequence of steps in the negotiation process, from issues of the rights of organization and negotiation through scope of bargaining, bargaining conduct, and union security to the ultimate problems of strikes and contract enforcement. Within this common outline, the patterns of litigation vary because of differences and shifts legislation. Collective bargaining in most private colleges and universities is governed by the National Labor Relations Act. In public institutions of higher education, collective bargaining depends on state rather than federal legislation, with the pattern varying for virtually every step in the negotiations process. The number of higher education collective bargaining cases reported in this chapter is more than triple the number in the previous "Yearbook." (Author/MLF)
