The cuts in spending were sizable: In the years following the changes, average school district spending on teacher compensation decreased by about 6%, with spending on teacher salaries falling by about 5% and spending on teacher benefits declining by 9.7% in the five states relative to the rest of the states.  \nWhy it matters: Reduced education spending and lowered teacher compensation have negative repercussions for teacher labor markets and student outcomes. Teachers in the five states were affected regardless of union membership. The effects can be extrapolated to other states that have also experienced significant curbs to public-sector workers in recent years, and they may shed light on some consequences of the 2018 Supreme Court decision in Janus v. American Federation of State, County, and Municipal Employees.  \nIntroduction  \nThe U.S. Supreme Court’s 2018 decision in Janus v. American Federation of State, County, and Municipal Employees (AFSCME) (referred to as Janus hereafter) prohibited state and local government worker unions from negotiating collective bargaining agreements with fair share fee arrangements. The court agreed with the plaintiff’s claim that the fair share fees (known also as “agency fees”) violate workers’ First Amendment rights of freedom of speech and association. This dramatic legal change makes it harder for public-sector  \n • Washington, DC View this report [at](at epi.org/221896)[ epi.org/221896](at epi.org/221896)  \nunions to be effective.1 However, its full repercussions on membership, employment conditions, and other outcomes for public-sector workers remain to be investigated.  \nBecause the Janus decision is relatively recent, it is too early to assess its comprehensive impacts. However, we can anticipate the direction that Janus is taking us by examining legislation that was passed by several U.S. states in the last decade that also substantially restricted public-sector bargaining rights. Though the laws in Idaho, Indiana, Michigan, Tennessee, and Wisconsin lack the scale of the Janus decision, and though they differ from one another and from the substance and the legal focus of Janus, all have—like Janus—been described as an attack on unions’ membership and strength.  \nIn this report, we examine state collective bargaining restrictions on public-sector unionsand how they impact spending on teacher compensation. Specifically, we develop a framework to estimate how spending on teacher compensation was affected by changes in the legal institutions (laws, court decisions, and other administrative mechanisms) governing public-sector unions in five states that experienced these changes early in the previous decade. There are two purposes of this study. First, our framework and the analysis, with the necessary adjustments to scale, contexts, and timelines, could be used in the near future to understand and estimate the impact on public-sector workers of the Janus decision (or of laws, court decisions, and other administrative mechanisms of a similar nature) . Second, our results also set the stage for other important and broad questions regarding the affected education systems. These institutional changes that influence districts’ spending on teacher compensation may also shift the career decisions of individuals who otherwise may have chosen a teaching profession, and they may have implications for student outcomes. Thus, this study can help policymakers better grasp the role of teachers unions in the post-Janus era by explori","cbCaitu9CDnV3m4c","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaitu9CDnV3m4c","pdf",464331,21,"English","# Summary\n# Introduction\n## Janus decision and background\n## Study approach and purposes\n# Findings on compensation spending","[{\"question\":\"Which states and years are examined in the report's analysis?\",\"answer\":\"The report analyzes restrictions enacted in Idaho, Indiana, Michigan, Tennessee, and Wisconsin during 2011 and 2012.\"},{\"question\":\"How did teacher compensation spending change after the legal restrictions?\",\"answer\":\"School district spending on teacher compensation decreased by about 6% on average, with teacher salaries down about 5% and teacher benefits down 9.7%.\"},{\"question\":\"Why does the report connect these findings to the 2018 Janus decision?\",\"answer\":\"Because the Janus decision similarly restricts public-sector union bargaining by prohibiting agency fees, the report treats earlier state restrictions as evidence of potentially negative repercussions for comparable outcomes.\"}]","The impact of changes in public-sector bargaining lawson districts’ spending on teacher compensation - Report - By Emma García and Eunice Han - April 29, 2021 | PDF",1792048080,53]
