Mission: The Public Service Research Foundation was established out of concern about the degree to which public sector unions, particularly teacher unions, were gaining the power to control the size, cost and quality of public services through grants by state legislatures of special privileges such as monopoly collective bargaining and compulsory unionism, and the destructive impact on democratic government institutions by the resolution of impasses through strikes or binding arbitration. The Foundation's concerns also include union special interest political influence on public policy such as prevailing wage laws, living wage ordinances, project labor agreements and neutrality agreements.
