\nWhen schoolteachers in Los Angeles went on a\u00a0weeklong strike<\/a>\u00a0in January, the head of the local teachers union described it as a \u201cbattle for the soul of public education<\/a>.\u201d When Denver public school teachers went on a three-day strike in February, they did it in the name of \u201cschools Denver students deserve<\/a>.\u201d<\/p>\n

When teachers began their strike in Oakland on Feb. 26, the local teachers union repeated this message, voicing that they were \u201cfighting for the schools Oakland students\u2019 deserve<\/a>\u201d and in a struggle for the \u201csoul of public education<\/a>.\u201d The Oakland teachers\u2019 strike\u00a0ended on March 1<\/a>.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s true, many of the demands the unions are making will likely benefit students. But beneath the rallying cries, unions in the public sector are facing a new reality that suggests they are actually fighting for something else.<\/p>\n

Ever since the\u00a0Supreme Court ruled in Janus v. AFSCME<\/a>\u00a0in 2018 that workers are free to choose whether to join a union, we\u2019d argue that the teacher strikes have been as much a fight for the soul of the union as they are for the soul of public education. What the teachers\u2019 unions really want and need is membership. As one political science professor told The New York Times: \u201cMembers and money are power in politics<\/a>.\u201d<\/p>\n

The deals that teachers\u2019 unions negotiate with school districts matter more than ever for maintaining their membership and political power in the post-Janus world. As education policy scholars who have studied\u00a0teachers\u2019 unions<\/a>\u00a0and\u00a0teacher collective bargaining<\/a>\u00a0for over a decade, we have read thousands of agreements like the ones just negotiated in Los Angeles, Denver and Oakland.<\/p>\n

Negotiating for numbers<\/strong><\/h4>\n

The agreements that unions are securing establish teacher salaries, restrictions on the length of the workday, performance evaluation procedures and other important working conditions. But they also set staffing levels for teachers, librarians and counselors. In short, if unions can win at the bargaining table they can increase staffing. And if they can increase staffing, they can increase membership and ensure their future.<\/p>\n

Consider the deal that the teachers\u2019 union secured in Los Angeles. Along with a 6 percent salary increase \u2013 basically the school district\u2019s offer long before the final contract was signed \u2013 the deal includes numerous staffing guarantees that equate to more membership for the Los Angeles teachers\u2019 union: 300 nurses, 82 librarians, 77 counselors. The contract reduces class size by four students in grades 4 through 12 over the duration of the contract, requiring the school district to add new teachers.<\/p>\n

The Oakland teachers\u2019 union used a similar playbook. The union secured an\u00a011 percent raise<\/a>\u00a0over the next four years and a modest reduction in class size by the 2021-22 school year. Additionally, the new contract lowers the counselor-to-student ratio, establishes new caseload limits for school psychologists and speech and language pathologists, and increases staffing levels at schools with 50 or more students who are new to the country \u2013 all provisions that will require the district to add more educators. Finally, the union secured a five-month pause on school closures and consolidations, which will maintain current teaching and support staff positions at those schools.<\/p>\n

Strategy for charter schools<\/strong><\/h4>\n

Not only are teachers\u2019 union fighting for increased staffing levels, but they are also using contract negotiations to limit the transfer of teachers to non-union schools that pose a threat to their membership levels. Both teachers\u2019 unions took a hard stance on charter schools in their negotiations. In Los Angeles, the teachers\u2019 union\u00a0called for<\/a>\u00a0an eight- to 10-month moratorium on new charter schools, something the Los Angeles Unified School District board cannot provide. However, the Los Angeles Unified School District\u00a0agreed to endorse<\/a>\u00a0such a moratorium and lobby California\u2019s governor to that end.<\/p>\n

The Oakland teachers\u2019 union secured a nearly identical commitment from the school district to also lobby the state legislature for the same moratorium.<\/p>\n

Even while they attempt to limit charter school growth, the unions are also seeking to\u00a0organize charter school teachers<\/a>. Of the 277 charter schools in Los Angeles, 65 of them \u2013 or 23 percent \u2013 are organized by the Los Angeles teachers\u2019 union. In addition, the new LA contract provides union leaders the opportunity to pick a \u201ccoordinator\u201d to work with staff at charter schools that share a campus with a traditional public school. This is essentially a foot in the door to draw membership from the charter sector. In Oakland, only two of the 44 charters \u2013 or 5 percent \u2013 are unionized and are represented by the parent organization of the Oakland teachers union, the California Teachers Association.<\/p>\n

All in all, our rough calculations suggest that the\u00a0staffing provisions<\/a>\u00a0in the new Los Angeles contract could add over 1,500 members to the the Los Angeles teachers\u2019 union\u2019s membership. This equates to about a 5 percent increase in the union\u2019s ranks of over\u00a030,000 educators<\/a>. The Oakland teachers\u2019 union could get a similar boost.<\/p>\n

In a post-Janus world, unions are showcasing the viability of the picket line as a way to win contracts that bolster membership. Not only that, because only union members can vote to authorize a strike, union leadership can leverage strike votes to petition \u2013 or pressure \u2013 non-union members to join the movement. The Los Angeles union reports\u00a0adding over 1,000 members<\/a>\u00a0during their strike vote. The Denver union reports\u00a0adding 250<\/a>\u00a0of its 3,800 members during its authorization vote.<\/p>\n

So why are teachers\u2019 unions striking with increased frequency? Teachers\u2019 unions are striking to fight for benefits their students need. But also \u2013 and perhaps more so \u2013 they are striking for membership they need to stay viable after Janus. Unions are fighting for their survival.<\/p>\n
