Compensation is never just a technical issue. It always involves power, influence, and moneywhich is never more clear than in a unionized environment. Moreover, mistakes can pose a significant financial burden in the form of disputes, lost flexibility, work stoppages, and other factors. This activity asks you to consider these issues in greater detail.

One point of debate is the association\'s rejection of matching teacher pay to student test score performance.
