Developments in labor-management cooperation: the codification of cooperative mechanisms
Article Abstract:
The article examines the extent to which collective bargaining agreements of the 1990s have codified labor-management cooperation, possible features of this cooperation which tend to be more frequently codified, and differences in codification across industries. The author finds a relatively low incidence of contract language covering specific cooperative practices, and codification might increase their legitimacy. Steel, auto, paper, and telecommunications have a relatively high percentage of contracts with strong cooperation language, while grocery and health care have a small percentage.

Application of conjoint measurement procedures to collective bargaining research in school personnel administration
Article Abstract:
Actual preferences of groups involved in collective bargaining in an educational setting may be determined using the conjoint analysis technique borrowed from market research. This technique does not measure desires, but yields information on true-to-life preference situations, hence it is of much greater value in prediction and policymaking. Conjoint analysis was applied to collective bargaining alternatives as faced by a community college faculty union. This analysis allowed the rational rating of preferences among bargaining alternatives.

White-collar union-management relations: a study of university professors
Article Abstract:
A study was conducted using members of the faculty union at a major university as a sample to determine whether professors distinguished between economic and professional bargaining goals and whether one was more important than the other. It was found that both economic goals and professional autonomy and standards goals were important. Academic freedom figured importantly among the goals of professional autonomy.
