Beyond Compensation: Empowering Teachers' Unions to Think Beyond Bread-and-Butter Issues is an incredibly important book that explores the value of union representation of teachers on the front lines of public education. After the 2018 Supreme Court ruling on Janus v. American Federation of State, County, and Municipal Employees (AFSCME), educators and other union members wondered why they should belong to a union. This book provides an answer and demonstrates that the role of teachers' unions goes far beyond bread-and-butter issues as shown in the myriad priorities they are involved in. Teachers' unions today are requesting additional funding for education to improve outcomes for all students―including those who are disadvantaged, as well as racial and ethnic and sexual-minority students and English-language learners. The goal of teachers' unions is not simply to represent the rights of their members, but rather to improve education on the whole. They are seeking smaller class sizes, safer schools, and the addition of nurses and counselors, issues that go beyond increased pay for teachers. The book explores in detail the role of one teachers' union, the Washington Teachers' Union and its parent organization, the American Federation of Teachers, and their priorities as a roadmap for how other teachers' unions might pursue these goals and the hazards they might face. The author discusses major educational issues such as teacher evaluation, merit pay for teachers, standardized testing, and community schools and warns about the dangers of vouchers and charter schools.

Beyond Compensation is a volume in The Badass Teachers Association Education Series. The series serves to contribute to educators' and educational leaders' understandings of the need for teacher education, activism, and leadership in these areas. It will provide a place for future and current educators to learn more about these issues and how they can build their classrooms and communities into the spaces all students deserve. The series consists of print books and e-books for current educators, pre-service teachers, parents, and others in the greater community.
