Interviews conducted with thirty-four teacher association and school district negotiators produced evidence that management was more successful in obtaining their top collective bargaining priorities than teachers were. From this documentary and oral evidence, it appears that school district personnel gained the bargaining advantage in these earliest Los Angeles County negotiations.
