(2010). Alberta\u2019s 2002 teacher strike: The<br \/>\npolitical economy of labor relations in education. Education Policy Analysis<br \/>\nArchives, 18(3). Retrieved [date] from http:\/\/epaa.asu.edu\/epaa\/v18n3\/. <\/p>\n<p>Abstract<br \/>\nIn 2002, approximately two thirds of school teachers in the Canadian<br \/>\nprovince of Alberta went on strike. Drawing on media, government and union<br \/>\ndocuments, this case study reveals some contours of the political economy of<br \/>\nlabor relations in education that are normally hidden from view. Among these<br \/>\nfeatures are that the state can react to worker resistance by legally<br \/>\npressuring trade unions and justifying this action as in the public<br \/>\ninterest. This justification seeks to divide the working class and pit<br \/>\nsegments of it against each other. The state may also seek to limit<br \/>\ndiscussion and settlements to monetary matters to avoid constraining its<br \/>\nability to manage the workplace or the educational system. This analysis<br \/>\nprovides a basis for developing a broader theory of the political economy of<br \/>\nlabor relations in education. It also provides trade unionists in education<br \/>\nwith information useful in formulating a strike strategy.
