| Abstract | Since the emergence of teacher unionization in the 1960s, the National Education Association (NEA) and American Federation of Teachers (AFT) have monopolized the market for teacher representation services. Competition against NEA/AFT would directly benefit teachers and indirectly benefit the school choice movement. This analysis argues that for-profit and nonprofit entities of all types should be authorized to compete with membership organizations for the right to serve as the exclusive representative of teachers in collective bargaining. Competition would result in better representation at a much lower cost. Teachers would retain the right to go without an exclusive representative, and representation options would compete against one another. Teacher representation in the bargaining-law states would no longer be limited to unions. Teachers could change their choice of representative periodically. The paper suggests that the best way to end the monopoly is for states to enact legislation that: reduces the minimum required showing of interest from 30 to 10 percent of the bargaining unit; explicitly allows individuals, nonprofit, and for-profit organizations, as well as membership organizations, to compete for the right to represent teachers; and enables all members in bargaining units to vote on key decisions affecting their terms and conditions of employment.
