## How later opinions describe it (automated extraction)

- stating that fringe benefits for school employees, including reimbursement for tuition expenses, constitute bargainable "wages" under Section 301(14) of PERA, 43 P.S. § 1101.301(14), which defines that term to include "compensation for services rendered"
- discussing limitations on employers rights to implement unilateral changes after expiration of agreement

## Opinion text

LARSEN, Justice,
concurring.
I join with the majority opinion; additionally I wish to note that if the employees were on strike then the employer could have terminated these benefits even though good faith negotiations were occurring.
