YESHIVA UNIVERSITY</em> ON FACULTY UNIONISM AT PUBLIC COLLEGES AND UNIVERSITIES 20020509 20020509 20020509 20020509 http://baywood.metapress.com/link.asp?target=contribution&id=C8WQC4H01L77CX2L 1 JOEL M. DOUGLAS This study examines public sector higher education faculty collective bargaining legislation in terms of protection from a <em>Yeshiva</em>-like claim. Protection is viewed as coverage before a labor board or a state agency concerning the right to bargain. Legislation in twenty-seven states was analyzed. Two models emerged under which faculty bargain; separate statutes were found in four states while generic enabling legislation controlled bargaining in twenty-three states. Each bill was examined for the statutory definition of employee, employer, and whether or not reference was made to inclusion of supervisory and/or managerial employees. A survey of legal developments with respect to public sector <em>Yeshiva</em> claims was also conducted. The likelihood for successful claims pursuant to state legislation was addressed. Recommendations are included as to the potential impact of <em>Yeshiva</em> or participatory management in the public sector.
