Abstract

This article provides a tabular synthesis of the various labor board and court rulings regarding which topics fit in each of the categories for scope of bargaining under the Pennsylvania statute that governs teacher-board collective negotiations. Thus, it not only provides guidance for practitioners and others interested in teacher-board bargaining in Pennsylvania but also a model for providing similar guidance in the other states that have broad language and various rulings concerning scope of negotiations. Using coded designations and a visual-organizer format, the chart that is the focal feature of this article synthesizes multiple primary legal sources into one page that serves as a starting point—not an ending point, for authoritative guidance.
