ABSTRACT
The authors of [the] articles in this symposium have ably described and explained the recent developments in management-employee relations in the public service. 1 They have analyzed collective bargaining in the private sector, discussed some of the problems in adapting it to the government, examined the growing strike activity by public employees, and evaluated the impact of collective negotiations on the merit system. This final essay will deal with the implications of the heightened collective negotiations activity for public administration in general. Both doctrine and practice in public administration are undergoing significant change as the result of this development.
