In document analysis,the focus of scope were collective bargaining system and contracts of employment in Taiwan, England and U.S.A. In questionnaire survey, the samples for the study were the members of convention of National Teachers’ Association (NTA)-the decision group of NTA. There are some key findings and conclusions of this study below: A. The construction of collective bargaining system in Taiwan has legitimacy on both theory and constitution. B.

In England and U.S.A., the structural relations of teacher union collective bargaining system were combination of legalism and voluntarism. D.

Most members of NTA decision group support both the enlargement of scope for bargaining and the construction of collective bargaining system. F. The principles of formulation for collective bargaining system are below: 1 The stage of preparation (1) Build statutory certification procedure and exclusive recognition model.
