UNIONIZATION TENDENCIES IN PUBLIC EMPLOYEES: AN APPLICATION ON THE EDUCATORS

Summary/Abstract: This research was conducted to measure the unionization tendencies of teachers and school administrators working in state high schools in the city center of Erzurum and to determine the factors affecting whether they are unionized or not. The sample group of the study, which was carried out with the survey application, consisted of 171 education employees who are union members and 128 education employees who are not members of any union, working in the 2019-2020 academic year. Findings from the research; It shows that the expectations of union member teachers are focused on "change and develop the institutional structures of public unions" and "increase their union activities". The main reasons why non-union educators did not become members of the union were the "limited strike and collective bargaining activities of the unions" and "the fact that their democratic structure was not at the desired level".
