The Role of Rescheduled School Days in Teacher Strikes

Author

  • Craig A. Olson

Abstract

This study investigates the bargaining effects of the decisions made by school boards in Pennsylvania whether to reschedule teacher strike days so that a district may qualify for state aid. Because a decision to reschedule strike days can substantially reduce teacher strike costs, the author hypothesizes that strikes are more likely to occur in districts where teachers expect strike days to be rescheduled. The author confirms this hypothesis by an analysis of data for 264 school districts for the 1975 – 78 period, using a two-equation, bivariate probit model of strikes and the decision to reschedule strike days.
