Show moreThe purpose of this study was to determine whether the teacher bargaining unit members of three selected lower east coast counties of Florida were satisfied with the performance of their bargaining agents. The population selected was the entire membership of the three bargaining units. A stratified random sampling of 20 percent each of senior high, junior high, and elementary personnel was used to give a proportional sample. A Likert-type survey scale consisting of forty items was constructed, validated, and distributed to the stratified random sample. 271 responses were received. The main hypothesis that the membership was satisfied with the bargaining agent performance was tested statistically by a "t" test and was not accepted. Nine areas of dissatisfaction were: salary, pay supplements, overtime, pay scale steps, increments for degrees/hours, medical plans, dental plans, number of students, and planning time. Secondary hypotheses that no significant differences existed among subgroups were generally supported, but there were exceptions, such as in sex, age, and membership status. It was concluded that the agents should strive to improve in the areas of dissatisfaction in negotiations.

The passage of Florida's 1974 Collective Bargaining Act brought about a new era of labor relations between public employees and their employers. This legislation would, by its nature, have a general impact on education and a specific impact upon the Dade County, Florida principal who would administer the bargained agreements while having one himself. The purpose of this study, therefore, was to measure the degree of impact of collective bargaining upon the elementary principal. Conclusions: 1...
Show moreThe passage of Florida's 1974 Collective Bargaining Act brought about a new era of labor relations between public employees and their employers. This legislation would, by its nature, have a general impact on education and a specific impact upon the Dade County, Florida principal who would administer the bargained agreements while having one himself. The purpose of this study, therefore, was to measure the degree of impact of collective bargaining upon the elementary principal. Conclusions: 1. There was a significant negative change in regard to the dimensions of Persistence and Stress, yet, the impact of the significance was in objective areas in which other influences were very strong. 2. The impact of collective bargaining was not significant in regard to principals' Educational Background, Educational Experience as an elementary principal, Sex, Total Pupil Enrollment of his school, or the Socio-Economic Level of his school. 3. The overall impact of Florida's 1974 Bargaining Law has not been felt by Dade County Elementary Principals. An important contributive factor has been the resemblance of the negotiated agreements to existent Board Policy.
