THE CHAIRMAN; De legate Bothe.
DELEGATE BOTHE: I cannot answer it in one
wprd. Delegate Dukes.
On the basis of the case I just cited to you,
I do not think if is likely that the outcome would be any
different, that it would be possible to go to court and con-
strue this matter as an affirmative ground for relief?
However, I would not want the history of this debate to
tie the appropriate court, if the time should come, I
think the court would have to consider it on its own
merits perhaps using this Missouri Case as a guide.
THE CHAIRMAN: Delegate Maurer.
DELEGATE MAURER: Delegate Bothe, I have some
questions on recognition. You say that employees have a
right to organize and to bargain collectively. I am
a member of a local school system where we have three
teachers' organizations. They would all like to bargain
collectively, but the problem is, in practice, you can
truly only negotiate with one group.
Now, if this were in the Constitution and if there
were no -- if legislation on the matter did not exist
