“…It has been called on to explain policy processes in public sectors including affordable housing, human rights, sustainability, and education. Zaaiman and Mupambwa (2021) used the faces of power framework to demonstrate the multidimensional nature of power between various stakeholders (i.e., regional planning group, local politicians, community members, and housing contractors) that contributed to the stalling of the affordable housing initiative in Khutsong, South Africa. Additionally, Arts (2003) demonstrated how the first face of power was utilized by the International Union for the Conservation of Nature and Natural Resources (IUCN) to influence the Convention of Biological Diversity.…”

Power in a Pandemic: Teachers’ Unions and Their Responses to School Reopening

et al. 2022

Drawing on Bachrach and Baratz’s first and second faces of interest group power, we explore the relationship between teachers’ union power and reopening decisions during the fall 2020 semester in 250 large districts around the United States. We leverage a self-collected panel data set of reopening decisions coupled with measures of teachers’ union first face power (drawn from social media postings on teachers’ unions’ Facebook pages) and second face power (operationalized as district size, whether the school district negotiates a collective bargaining agreement with the teachers’ union, the length of the collective bargaining agreement, and the amount of revenue raised by the union). We found that school districts where teachers’ unions exhibit strong second face power (but not first face power) were less likely to start the school year with in-person instruction, were less likely to ever open during fall semester with in-person instruction and spent fewer weeks in in-person learning.
