Abstract

This article reports on a survey of public sector strike participants under the Minnesota choice-of-procedures bargaining provision that was in effect during the 1974 - 1980 period. Under this bargaining law the public employer had a choice at impasse between a strike and arbitration. Included in the discussion are the advantages of a public sector strike based on the experience of the strike participants and the limitations of a system that relies strictly on arbitration as a dispute resolution device.
