In North Dakota "Opportunity Knocks"

North Dakota has a unique opportunity to demonstrate to the rest of the country what can be accomplished by switching from an exclusive-union-bargaining system in public education to a system in which there is room for individual bargaining.

In a letter (see attached), mailed out last week to School Superintendents throughout the state, National Institute for Labor Relations Research (NILRR) Senior Research Associate Stan Greer laid out what could be a historic opportunity presented by the North Dakota Supreme Court’s unanimous decision in Kenmare Education Association v. Kenmare Public School District No. 28, 2006 ND 136.
