Anna Traianou – Globalisation, Societies and Education, 2025
Education policy research has seen a growing interest in the consequences of teacher trade unionism of global education reform. Less attention has been paid to teacher unions as strategic social actors attempting to influence both national education policy and employment relations at the school level. Addressing this topic, the article examines…

Alison L. Milner; Pontus Bäckström; Johan Ernestam – Globalisation, Societies and Education, 2025
Trade union collaboration on issues of social justice connects workers to each other and to their wider communities and is therefore considered a strategy of union renewal. Prior to their amalgamation on 1 January 2023, Lärarförbundet (Swedish Teachers' Union) and Lärarnas Riksförbund (National Union of Teachers in Sweden) collaborated…

Mihajla Gavin – Globalisation, Societies and Education, 2025
Teacher unions are working in challenging times. Building power is important for teacher unions to resist neoliberal reforms that have aimed to restructure school education and weaken collective organisation. Yet we have few understandings of the democratisation project that teacher unions have engaged in to build and renew internal power in this…

Amanda Pinkham-Brown – Globalisation, Societies and Education, 2025
This narrative study examines a failed attempt to unionise an urban charter school. To investigate why this effort failed, I construct two competing 'stories of the school' -- the discursive narratives each side told about how the school operates, who it serves, and how it fits into a larger battle for educational, racial, and economic justice. I…

Frances Free Ramos; Nirali Jani – Globalisation, Societies and Education, 2025
This article examines the ways in which teachers and community-based activists collaborated to advance an anti-privatisation agenda within an urban school district. The article emerges from our respective studies of privatisation in Oakland, one a historical study of the advance of neoliberalism and the other a case study (Merriam 2007,…

Katarzyna Rakowska – Globalisation, Societies and Education, 2025
In 2019, Poland experienced a massive teachers' strike that lasted three weeks. Although the strike had a great impact on many teachers, in the end, this three-week action failed to obtain any of its demands. Using the concepts of workers' associational power and union legitimacy, I argue that one of the reasons for the loss was a crisis of…

Hania Sobhy – Globalisation, Societies and Education, 2025
Unions have played a decisive role in promoting democracy and social justice in Tunisia. In 2023, two teacher unions led a yearlong 'silent strike' of withholding student marks from administration. Based on interviews with 60 teachers, this article analyses teacher views on the unions and on ongoing protests. While unions are still considered the…

Jaeung Kim; Jinyoung Park – Globalisation, Societies and Education, 2025
This study examines a case of union revitalisation based on business unionism, contrasting with the prevailing notion that union revitalisation occurs primarily through social movement unionism. The Korean Federation of Teachers Union (KFTU) was formed in 2017 to challenge the established Korean Teachers and Education Workers Union (KTU), which we…

This article examines the division within Chile's main teacher organisation caused by a dissident movement during the development of the new National Teaching Policy (PND), which occurred between the years 2014 and 2016. It focuses on the teachers' collective awakening and the internal logic of neoliberal teacher policies. Through interviews and…
