unionization of teachers
Definition(s)
- The unionization of teachers is a phenomenon that began haltingly in the 1890s and continued throughout the 20th century, to the point that a large majority of public school teachers are now members of a teachers' union and are employed according to a collective bargaining contract negotiated by their union. The unionization of teachers was not accompanied by collective bargaining regarding their working conditions until the post–World War II period when, initially in large cities in the North and Midwest, teachers joined unions that won bargaining agreements from their respective school boards.
