Unlike the employee organizations of the past, these are being formed for the major purpose of engaging in collective bargaining with employers, including state governments, county governments, school boards, local governments, universities, colleges, and nonprofit institutions.

First, I assume that an established collective bargaining relationship exists. I am not suggesting that this relationship is necessarily desirable, but the assumption is important. When grievances arise in an unorganized situation, their disposition is different than handled under collective bargaining. In addition, statutorily or organizationally established grievance procedures may be different from those established through collective bargaining.

Before examining the various alternatives used to resolve public sector labor disputes, it seems sensible to set forth explicitly some of the underlying value judgments that, in effect, provide the framework within which we choose among these alternatives. Then, subsequent sections of this paper will briefly summarize bargaining systems, describe the tools for dispute resolution, examine the evolution of dispute settlement techniques in various segments of the public sector, and evaluate how these tools are working.

Any meaningful discussion of recognition and bargaining units must include general aspects of the National Labor Relations Act (NLRA) and reference to specific provisions, policies and procedures which have a significant, if indirect, impact on the subject.

In the past decade, collective bargaining between library employees and library management has emerged as a major pattern in library personnel administration. Although library unions have existed since early in the twentieth century, it is primarily in the last eight or ten years that they have become collective bargaining agents rather than employee associations. The current expectation is that within the next few years a great many public and academic libraries will have encountered unionization of professional, clerical and support staff, and will have experienced collective bargaining, often for the first time.

The legal environment surrounding the unionization of library personnel must be discussed from several different standpoints. At the outset, one must differentiate among library personnel on the basis of whom they work for. library personnel working for private universities come under the National Labor Relations Act (NLRA). Library personnel working for public employers in some states come under the jurisdiction of a state public employee labor relations act, while such personnel in other states have no statutory protection and must rely on judge-made law which varies from state to state.

In the 1970s we are observing another period of intense interest in collective bargaining. The fact that the 20th Annual Allerton Park Institute is devoted entirely to the question of collective bargaining in libraries is strong, but by no means the only evidence of the resurgence of interest in this topic by the library profession. The skeptic will ask, "Is the current scene any different from what occurred thirty-five years ago?" That is, have we simply reached another one of those points in time when librarians get excited about unionism and overreact to developments all with little prospect for lasting impact on libraries, the library profession or individual librarians? In retrospect, it is not hard to understand why large-scale unionization of librarians did not occur in the 1930s. At the time, most union activity was concentrated in the private sector of the economy the NLRA applies only to employees in the private sector but most librarians are employed in public institutions. From the 1930s until roughly 1960, relatively little union activity occurred anywhere in the public sector.
