This course addresses labor relations in the public sector from multiple perspectives, including theoretical, legal, political, policy and practical. It examines several aspects of public sector collective bargaining between management and labor unions from the perspectives of union organizing (how labor unions are formed), bargaining (how union contracts are produced), and dispute resolution (how bargaining disputes and grievances are resolved). Students should gain knowledge and an understanding of the practices used by public sector unions at the federal, stated and local levels of government. Public sector unions are important vehicles for promoting fair, equitable and ethical practices in government workplaces.

Theories of organizational behavior and performance as applied to public and nonprofit sector agencies; includes organizational authority systems, relationships between public and private organizations, development and fulfillment of organizational mandates in the public sector, and use of resources within organizations.
