| 520 | |a The overall impact of unions and collective bargaining agreements on student achievement has produced a literature with decidedly mixed results. Unions are seen to have both positive and negative influences on a teachers' ability to perform the teaching act. This study researches the impact of unions on state level student achievement, controlling for socio-economic differences among states. We find that students perform significantly worse on the mathematics component of the NAEP [National Assessment of Educational Progress] assessment (since passage of NCLB [No Child Left Behind]) in states that permit collective bargaining, and worse in reading compared to states where collective bargaining is illegal. The negative impact of teachers' unions on student achievement was consistent over all years studied. States that don't permit teacher unions give their students a competitive advantage in the learning process. (Contains 17 tables and 4 figures.) | ||
