Municipal employment raises perplexing problems in the area of labor relations. Does a municipal employer have the right to recognize and bargain with a union, possibly in contradiction to established civil service principles? Does the municipal employee have a right to strike? Can municipal employee unions expect to have exclusive representation rights and union shop, seniority, and similar contract provisions? In short, how much of the collective bargaining protection and encouragement offered to employees of private enterprise can be transferred to municipal employees without violating the public interest? Or for that matter, are the public interest and the gains made by unions of government employees mutually exclusive? Solution of these problems becomes more compelling as the government broadens its scope and moves from functions of a traditional nature to functions of a proprietary nature. Since 1940 the labor-management relationship in the New York City Transit System has evolved from one in which industrial relations decisions were made almost unilaterally by the municipal employer to one in which two duly selected unions have been recognized as bargaining agents for most of the System's employees. The nature and implications of this changing relationship are developed in this study. (Author's abstract courtesy EBSCO.)
