GALLAGHER AND DONALD L. ROBSON Factfinding in the public sector persists as an impasse procedure, despite its few advocates among labor and management. This study looked at factfinding experiences in Indiana in the public school setting since the passage of collective bargaining legislation in 1973. The results appear to support the findings of earlier studies done in other states, specifically the decline in the frequency of usage of factfinding over time. Variables such as number of teachers in the school corporation, per pupil expenditures, kinds and number of impasse issues, and type of teacher representation were also analyzed for their effects on the use of factfinding.
