Will Canada follow USA union busting trend?

Shaun, unfortunately, I do not know offhand of any seminal works about this topic.  It is a fascinating one, for the current governor of Wisconsin broke the public service unions, which includes state tech/junior colleges.  We have daily protests, literally daily, five days a week, in our state capital because of this.  The union members and friends conduct a sing-along under the dome in the state capitol at noon.  It has resulted in arrests and ongoing "bad blood."  The governor did not announce during the election his union-busting agenda; it came as a total surprise!  As I write this, I do not know how many other states in fact have taken this route.  Yes, your question about union impact on operations and learning outcomes is timely, crucial.  It may be a good time to explore how widespread union-busting is right now in education.  How has union busting helped or hurt?  Meanwhile, as you observe, how has the union presence helped or hurt outcomes, operations where unions are still legal?  This is a great issue.  Lack of unions means lack of tenure, job security.  More and more we are becoming Daniel Pink's classic Free Agent Nation.  Yes, as an administrator, you may face challenges over unions, busting them, keeping them.  FYI   Your humble servant has been a member of public teacher unions in both Ontario, Canada and Illinois, USA.  In fact, he went on strike in Ontario.  He is a friend of unions because of the due process pressure they exert on management.  Yet, he operates as a "free agent" as he types this.  This is a very good issue to pursue.  It is not going away soon.  Dr. Rux
