And how can public sector labor unions protect those rights? These are the questions answered in \u003ci\u003eFrom Collective Bargaining to Collective Begging. \u003c\/i\u003eDominic Wells takes a mixed-methods approach and uses more than five decades of state-level data to analyze the expansion and restriction of rights. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWells identifies the factors that led states to expand collective bargaining rights to public employees, and the conditions under which public employee labor unions can defend against unfavorable state legislation. He presents case studies and coalition strategies from Ohio and Wisconsin to demonstrate how labor unions failed to protect their rights in one state and succeeded in another. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eFrom Collective Bargaining to Collective Begging \u003c\/i\u003ealso provides a comprehensive quantitative analysis of the economic, political, and cultural factors that both led states to adopt policies that reduced the obstacles to unionization and also led other states to adopt policies that increased the difficulty to form and maintain a labor union. In his conclusion, Wells suggests the path forward for public sector labor unions and what policies need to be implemented to improve employee labor relations.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Dominic D.
