Abstract

This article reviews the effect that bargaining agent type has on grievance procedure language negotiated at senior institutions of higher education in the United States. The authors show that notwithstanding the commonly held assumption that there are marked differences between bargaining agents in terms of philosophy, organizational style, and bargaining objectives, there are relatively few difference in the grievance procedure language negotiated by different bargaining agents. The authors' findings indicate that type of bargaining agent may act as a proxy for a number of other variables surrounding the bargaining process to explain differences in negotiated contract language.
