Teacher Labor Agreements

Teachers unions, like all unions, fight for provisions that are favorable to union members--not necessarily to students. They consistently favor contract provisions that protect jobs, restrict demands placed on employees, and limit teacher accountability for student performance. But unlike, say, unions that protect auto workers or pilots, teachers unions are in the unique position of being able to help choose the management (e.g., the school boards or mayors) with whom they negotiate due to their influence in local elections. Teachers unions are also active in state politics, where they are frequently able to enshrine favorable provisions in state law (which, from a union perspective, is preferable to having to win the same concession in district after district).www.aei.org

Perjanjian Kerja Bersama /PKB sangat penting tetapi banyak di sekolah swasta yang belum menjalankannya. Perli perbaikan sistem di banyak sekolah termasuk di lingkungan pemerintah.
