Define collective bargaining and describe its history in corrections

What will be an ideal response?


• Collective bargaining is the formal recognition of employee organizations and their right to negotiate with management regarding conditions of the workplace. Although a few states (Connecticut in the 1940s and New York and Washington in the 1960s) have had public employee unions for some time, collective bargaining is relatively new to most state correctional agencies. By the 1970s, more than twenty states had formally authorized collective bargaining by public employees, and by the end of the twentieth century, more than half of the states had collective bargaining for at least some correctional employees.
