THE CHANGING PATTERNS OF FACULTY STRIKES IN HIGHER EDUCATION

Abstract

Analysis of more than one hundred strikes by faculty during collective negotiations at institutions of higher education from 1966 to 1984 indicates significant changes in the incidence of faculty strikes in the 1977-1984 period. Significantly more strike activity is reported for private institutions and for disputes in negotiations on salary matters, and significantly less strike activity is found among public, two-year institutions and faculty represented by the American Federation of Teachers. The increase in strike activity at private institutions conflicts with the a priori expectation that union activity declined at private institutions because of the Yeshiva decision. No significant changes were found for the extent of faculty strike activity since 1976, and this finding also conflicts with published reports that indicate a decline in faculty organizing activity and expectations for fewer strikes.
