WILLIAMS AND PERRY A. ZIRKEL From the emergence of collective bargaining in higher education in the early 1970s to the present time, there has been a shift in bargaining issues within faculty contracts. Initially, the most important factor which caused faculty to embrace collective bargaining was monetary compensation. However in the mid-1970s, the focus of faculty bargaining shifted toward personnel and governance issues. Faculties wanted to strengthen their job security as well as to gain greater access to policy-making power and autonomy. Current research reveals an extension of the union agenda to include academic issues within contracts. This paper surveys the literature and reveals a shift from economic issues to personnel and governance issues, and most recently to academic issues.
