The Effect Of State Budgets On Labor Relations Between Contracts, Steve Hicks

Journal of Collective Bargaining in the Academy

We

live in testing times, whether you’re in management, trying to find a way to stretch

dollars as state legislatures cut funding, or in a union, trying to maintain the salary,

benefits, and working conditions that make university teaching appealing to people. My

purpose here is to delineate a couple of the changes in how we interact based on

observation, so they may be more warm and fuzzy and less substantive than some of the

other following presentations, but I hope they give you some feel for the effects on the

ground of what the current budget conditions have wrought.

How Arbitrators Decide, Howard Parish

Journal of Collective Bargaining in the Academy

This paper is a brief review of the factors that come into play in an attempt at

grievance adjudication and the possibility of final resolution employing the

procedures encountered during an arbitration hearing. It will touch on some of

the factors that should guide the advocate for both the employer and the

employee. It will also point out some of the criteria that should be employed to

make the process more effective. It is by no means exhaustive in attempting to

address the many complexities that come into play during grievance processing

and the intricacies employed in the arbitration hearing. …

The State Employees Bargaining Agent Coalition, David Walsh

Journal of Collective Bargaining in the Academy

Members of SEBAC's unions have always supported being part of the solution to Connecticut's fiscal

crisis. In 2009 we provided nearly a billion dollars in savings to state taxpayers, by far the· most significant

contribution of any group toward solving the state's budget deficit. But we warned at the time that the deficit

would only continue to grow if elected officials tried to cut their way out of the economic crisis, instead of

focusing on rebuilding the economy· and providing jobs.

Advocacy At The State Level: Connecticut, Elsa Nunez

Journal of Collective Bargaining in the Academy

The financial realities we have dealt with in Connecticut and throughout our country in

the past year and a half have forced us to reevaluate the traditional relationship between college

administrators and faculty. In the most narrow, clichéd sense, administrators want the freedom

to make decisions and the faculty just wants to be left alone. The current economic crisis has

given us an opportunity to reexamine and forge a new relationship between our management

teams and our faculty ranks.

Social Equity, Or Merely Budget Equilibrium? The Social Responsibility Of The University Amidst Fiscal Crisis, Steve Teixeira

Journal of Collective Bargaining in the Academy

For the almost forty years since their emergence, California’s public higher education unions have primarily engaged

with management over their members’ share of the state’s resources. The core goal was to obtain a bigger share of a

growing budget pie, with some contractual protections against arbitrary management actions, so members could enjoy

the share their union had won them. As long as this goal could be realized, the majority of California higher education

unions rarely ventured beyond traditional contract bargaining, hardly advocating any vision of the larger purposes and

priorities of public higher education.

What Lies Ahead For Organized Labor In The Private Sector (Including Private Higher Education)?, James Ottavio Castagnera

Whither the National Labor Relations Board?

Go to the NLRB’s website and you’ll find only two faces and two names:

• Wilma B, Liebman, Chairman, and

• Peter Carey Schaumber, now in his second term.

[http://www.nlrb.gov/about_us/overview/board/index.aspx]

The page also lists three vacancies. Why? “The National Labor Relations Board

has operated with only two members for more than two years because Democrats refused

to confirm President George W. Bush’s nominees because of complaints that they were

pro-business. Republicans now are blocking President Obama’s nominees, complaining

that some favor union interests.” [Jesse J. Holland, “Supreme Court looks at labor board,”

Establishing Stimulus Classes In Adults And Children Using A Respondent-Type Training Procedure: A Follow-Up Study, Paul M. Smeets, Geraldine Leader, Dermot Barnes

The Psychological Record

This study examined the effects of a successive stimulus pairing procedure (respondent training) on formation of conditional discriminations and equivalence classes. Different training protocols (linear, many-to-one, one-to-many), and training and test arrangements (simultaneous, simple-to-complex) were used. A simultaneous protocol was used in Experiment 1. During training, adults were exposed to multiple random series of stimulus pairs. Stimuli of the same pair were presented one after the other (e.g., A1-->B1, C1-->B1, A2-->B2, C2-->B2, A3-->B3, C3-->B3). These series were followed by a match-to-sample test series involving symmetry probes (e.g., B-A, B-C) mixed with equivalence probes (A-C). …

The Quick Development Of Equivalence Classes In A Paper-And-Pencil Format Through Written Instructions, Svein Eikeseth, Jesus Rosales-Ruiz, Angela Duarte, Donald M. Baer

The Psychological Record

This study asked whether a paper-and-pencil protocol can be used to study stimulus equivalence, and whether stimulus equivalence can emerge from conditional discriminations established by verbal instructions. The subjects were undergraduate university students. Of the 28 subjects who acquired the baseline relations defined by the written instructions, 50% responded to those conditional relations as equivalence relations. Another 20 subjects who were not instructed in these baseline relations were probed in the same way, to examine the possibility that the subjects might inadvertently achieve a consistent pattern of responding that could be scored as stimulus equivalence despite the nonestablishment of the …

Individual Performance As A Function Of Individual And Group Pay Contingencies, Judith A. Honeywell, Alyce M. Dickinson, Alan Poling

The Psychological Record

An alternating-treatment design was used to compare the productivity of college students engaged in a card-sorting task under an individual monetary incentive system and a 10-member group monetary incentive system. In both pay conditions, subjects received a base pay plus incentives contingent upon the number of cards sorted in 20-minute sessions. In the individual incentive condition, subjects earned $0.005 for each card sorted over 400 cards. In the group incentive condition, incentives were based on the group average, with all subjects earning $0.005 for each card by which the group average exceeded 400. Subjects received feedback on their performance and …

Schedule Control Over Following Instructions Comprised Of Novel Combinations Of Verbal Stimuli, Marshall Lev Dermer, James G. Rodgers

The Psychological Record

To examine schedule control over following instructions comprised of novel combinations of verbal stimuli, three children, from 8 to 10 years old, received either continuous or intermittent reinforcement for a chain of buying and then following such instructions. Later, a series of training-extinction tests was conducted. During the training trials, the chain produced either continuous or intermittent reinforcement. During the extinction trials, buying produced instructions but following instructions never produced reinforcement. For one subject, a partial reinforcement extinction effect was detected for the chain. For two subjects, a stimulus correlated with extinction onset enhanced schedule control. Overall, the frequency of …

Verbal Community Reinforcement, With An Illustration Using The Esoteric Buddhist Concepts Of Fuse And Muzai No Nanse, Bernard Guerin, Sejima Junichiro

The Psychological Record

Problems with Skinner's (1957) definition of verbal behavior are raised and one possible solution is presented. It is suggested that the way in which verbal communities shape behavior is distinctive-unlike the physical environment, verbal communities have culturally evolved a system of extremely generalized conditions for reinforcement which allows arbitrary relations to be shaped-and therefore could serve to define verbal behavior and exclude other forms of socially mediated behaviors. The form of "loose" shaping used is described, along with anthropological and sociological equivalents, and a suggestion is made of how it might figure in equivalence class formation. Two terms from Esoteric …
