Industrial Relations in Schools

Zusatztext `...the book deserves to be widely read...' - Edmund Heery! BUIRA Newsletter 12 Informationen zum Autor Mike Ironside, Roger Seifert Klappentext The subject of industrial relations is intimately connected with the nature of schooling - in particular, the teacher trade unions have played and will continue to play a crucial role in shaping the school system - yet this subject has been virtually neglected in educational literature. Mike Ironside and Roger Seifert's book redresses this balance and unravels the complex issues surrounding the employment and management of teachers. Recent changes in education have had massive implications for the way in which our education system is organised. In the light of recent events, this book questions who controls or ought to control schools, focusing on the government, Department of Education, LEA's, head teachers, school governors, parents and teaching unions. The authors argue that in order for schools to continue to function, industrial relations must be given priority, including the development of a proper framework for negotiation and the resolution of conflicts. Zusammenfassung The role of teacher trade unions and industrial relations has grown in importance in the light of recent policy developments. The authors of this timely book examine this trend, while examining the practical implications for schools and unions.
