From the internet, find an example of a collective bargaining case in the public sector where you
believe one or both of the parties were not proceeding in good faith. Send a summary of the
situation, along with your reasoned analysis and a link to the example. One rule: Everyone must
select a different dispute.
The Collective Bargaining case I found on the Internet was the American Federation of Teachers,
et al., v Richard Ledbetter, et al. where the American Federation of Teachers, its St. Louis affiliate
Local 420, and individual representatives Mary Armstrong and Byron Clemens, declare the board
of education and of the Construction Career Center Charter School District and the individual
members of the board had no duty to meet, confer, or bargain collectively in good faith with the
union because Article I, Section 29 of the Missouri Constitution provides that all employees,
public and private have a right to organize, and bargain collectively, it necessarily requires the
board to meet and confer with the union in good faith, with the intent of reaching an agreement.
The judgment was reversed and the cause was remanded.
