Description
Summary:Collective bargaining contracts from four-year colleges and universities were examined for patterns in provisions, and for the method of resolution of issues. The types of subjects contained in faculty bargaining agreements are of interest to academic librarians because, if collective bargaining takes place on a campus, there is a strong likelihood that librarians will be included in bargaining units with faculty members. The factors that may determine the scope of bargaining are discussed in the first part of the paper, then an overview of the provisions regarding faculty members is presented, and a third section describes provisions in the contracts applying particularly to academic librarians. This is followed by our conclusions.
