Study on trends in freedom of association and collective bargaining in the education sector since the financial crisis
Education International commissioned this study to examine trends in freedom of association and collective bargaining in selected countries throughout the world, both in countries which have been deeply affected by the crisis, such as the USA, Spain and Greece, as well as those countries which have continued to enjoy relatively continuous economic growth, such as Brazil and Ghana.
The study provides a general overview of the extent to which teachers are allowed to form and join trade unions as opposed to professional associations and the framework and scope for collective bargaining where permitted.
