Abstract

The Militant Mice
Lieberrnan, Myron | February 1, 1965 issue

add to cart   close window

This article describes the legal status and working conditions of teachers in the U.S. Few people would regard teachers as a militant group. In their efforts to improve their conditions of employment, or the conditions of education generally, public school teachers, like other public employees, are more restricted than workers in private employment. In the light of the record, the widespread outbreak of teacher strikes and threatened strikes during the past year, and especially since the November 1964 elections, suggests that new factors have come into play. In most if not all states, teachers are legally permitted to form organizations to advance their own welfare and the cause of good education.
