With a group of four or five students, assume that you are a group of high school teachers in Wisconsin and that the union that represented the teachers to the board of education in the school district has been disbanded because it did not receive a majority vote in this year’s required election. After the union was defeated, the school board announced that the pay for high school teachers would be frozen and no pay raises would be forthcoming. Each teacher in the group believes that he or she deserves a pay raise for the coming year. The group of teachers you are in would like to present a case, in favor of giving teachers pay raises, to the high school principal and the Parent- Teachers Association (PTA) to obtain their support. What kind of data will the teachers need to make a convincing case to the principal and the PTA? For example, will the teachers need data that covers individual teacher performance, school performance, performance of the students, school budget data, school district performance data, or state-wide school district performance data? How will the teachers obtain all of this data to make a rational case for higher pay based on the evidence? Will the school board cooperate and disclose their budget data to the teachers? If the teachers do not have the time or the resources to collect the data they need to make a credible presentation of evidence for higher wages to the principal or PTA, what alternatives do the teachers have to improve their pay? What type of services could a well-functioning union provide the teachers to help them obtain a pay increase from the school board? Be prepared to share your answers to these questions with other members of the class when called on by the instructor.
