Based upon the returned questionnaires of 415 striking faculty members
from the University of Saskatchewan, this study shows that faculty me
mbers who have attended the study session, and those who have been act
ive in past union meetings were more likely to get involved in picketi
ng and in picket organizing during the course of the strike. Analysis
of their post-strike perceptions shows that the faculty attitudes towa
rds the effectiveness of the strike, strike length, and back-to-work l
egislation were closely related to the militancy of the faculty during
the strike.
