  • Public Sector Unions and Public Administration: the Impact of Statutory Collective Bargaining
    Public Sector Unions and Public Administration: The Impact of Statutory Collective Bargaining Joseph Adler A dissertation submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Public Administration School of Public Affairs University of Baltimore Baltimore, Maryland August 25, 2011 ACKNOWLEDGMENTS There are many people to thank and too little space to list them all. But a few stand out for special mention. I would like to thank the members of my committee—Dr. Heather Wyatt-Nichol, Dr. Lenneal Henderson and Dr. Larry Thomas for encouraging me to undertake and more importantly to complete this journey. A number of colleagues offered support and acted as a sounding board, including Art Wallenstein, Uma Ahluwalia, Parker Hamilton, Steve Farber, Sarah Miller-Espinosa and Stephanye Maxwell. My daughters, Laura E. LeCron, and Jillian S. Thomadsen, for their encouragement and support even when it meant missing family visits. My brother Michael Adler and his family for their love and encouragement. Most of all to my wife, Judith Sachwald, for constant support and understanding especially when many weekends got tied up with course work; and then later with writing the dissertation when her editing talents transformed a collection of research notes and drafts into a well-structured and crisp document. i ABSTRACT Public Sector Unions and Public Administration: The Impact of Statutory Collective Bargaining Joseph Adler This dissertation attempts fill the gap in public administration research by undertaking a comparative case study of the effects of collective bargaining on public administration and human resource management. The findings suggest that the presence of legally mandated collective bargaining does not guarantee consistent economic gains, nor does the combined presence of a bargaining law and union political involvement lead to union favorable outcomes in public policy issues.
